text: I have just finished my first scratch built bucket and now it is time to paint it. I have done a search and thanks to many others hard work I think I know the different colours I will need. Only problem, when I Googled the paint names, some of them came up as Floquil and some Polly Scale. Being that one is acrylic and the other Enamel, wont they react when painted over each other? I have a vague memory that you can paint acrylics over enamels, but not the other way around. Is this correct, or do I have it the wrong way around? Either way I think Im going to come unstuck, as some areas of the helmet have a final enamel colour and the other parts acrylics. What do other guys do to overcome this (without releasing trade secrets)? Any help is appreciated.

Man for man, the New York Jets' defense usually matches up pretty well against the New England Patriots' offense. The X-factor, however, is communication.
Gang Green's focus on defense, particularly in the secondary, against the Patriots Thursday is being in the right place at the right time pre-snap. If they do that, the rest will fall into place.
"I think the biggest thing for us is to make sure we match up well and when they go into the hurry-up offense, to make sure we get a call in, line up well, make sure we don't get a quick count, and when the offense puts in different guys, just communicate on the back end as quickly as possible," Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie said.
Brady will be without his top target in tight end Rob Gronkowski, who will sit out four to eight weeks with a broken forearm. The Patriots will certainly miss that huge target in the red zone, but Gronkowski's injury comes just in time for the return of fellow tight end Aaron Hernandez.
"Hernandez is definitely going to be fired up to play us and he can fill in the shoes of Gronkowski," Jets safety LaRon Landry said. "So we still need to play a ball game as if he was playing."
Brady is having a pretty incredible season thus far, amassing 21 touchdowns to just three interceptions.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said earlier in the week that the only chance New York has against Brady and the league's best offense, which is no slouch in the run game, either, is to throw as many different looks as possible at the future Hall-of-Famer.
"We know enough of Tom Brady to know if he knows exactly what you're in, you are in trouble," Ryan said. "You have to make adjustments, you have to be multiple and that's hard to do."
"They actually slowed down their no-huddle. It hasn't been quite as fast as it was, but we'll see. Maybe they'll go to that. Maybe they won't, but against a Bill Belichick team, you have to be prepared for anything."

Tourist Loses Leg After Taxi Jumps Curb in Midtown
A taxi cab that jumped a curb outside Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday morning may have severed the legs of a female tourist according to a report from the New York Post.
According to the NY Post, good samaritans rushed to the help of the woman using belts and dog leashes as a tourniquet to help stop the bleeding from the victim's severed limb. TV's Dr. Mehmet Oz ran down to the scene to help after hearing the crash from his studio. According to Dr. Oz, everything was under control by the time he arrived to the scene thanks to the
According to the NY Post, eyewitnesses say the driver was turning right onto Sixth Avenue from 49th Street when the taxi appeared to accelerate and jump the curb.
UPDATE: An NYPD spokesperson (via Gothamist) has confirmed that the tourist is a 23-year-old woman and she had her right leg amputated below the knee as a result of being struck by the taxi.
A bicyclist also was struck by the cab, but he is reportedly okay after being shaken up.

Mitt Romney just won an important primary in Illinois and one would assume it was a finally a good day in his life as a candidate. Alas, this is Mitt Romney, the man of all seasons and the man who says today what he contradicted the day before. One of his campaign staff,Eric Fehrnstrom, decided to speak the truth, which is not exactly the right thing to do for a candidate who insists there are two sides to an issue and he is on both sides.
According to Eric, the wise, "I think you hit a reset button of the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Skitch. You kind of shake it up, and we start all over again. Newt Gingrich is rather upset at someone who does not have the decency to at least make money when he changes his mind.

Hereditary conditions
Posted by Tom Grant on January 20, 2009

Many product managers who work with or within Agile teams have told me how they've felt left in the dust during the early phases of the Agile implementation. "We've sighted our target persona!"the development team exclaims. "Champagne for everyone!"
Unfortunately, they forget to invite to these festivities the very person who will, beyond this sighting, provide ongoing intelligence about that role--and the use cases, and whether that's the right role for the product, and what the competition is doing to serve that person, and whether there's a market for all this technology in the first place. A good product manager also has mad skillz in collecting and analyzing this information, something that even the most wunderbar of Wunderkinder doesn't necessarily have right out of the womb.
Shane Hastie at InfoIQ describes the same problem facing business analysts, the cousins of product managers in IT organizations.
There is a gap in much of the literature about Agile software development practices, and on many Agile teams. This gap is the role of Analysis in Agile projects - who does it, what is the use and value, and how does it change? The implied (and I have heard stated at least once) attitude is "we don't need no stinkin' analysts" - needless to say I feel this is WRONG!
Hastie's advice for the business analyst echoes suggestions I've heard for product managers. The analyst is a pro at business requirements. You can get economies of scale in tasks like user story development if you have one person do it full-time, instead of lots of people trying to squeeze in the necessary time. Business analysts are often good parents, model citizens, and loving pet owners, too, so why not extend the hand of eternal chumship to them? And so on.
As well-intentioned as this argument may be, perhaps it's the wrong approach to make. Perhaps the burden of proof should fall on the shoulders who think that they can do the business analyst's job and their own without committing grievous errors.
I'm a pretty smart person. Over the years, I've read a fair number of mystery novels, and enjoyed a sizeable number of detective shows (Columbo, the many-headed Law and Order hydra, the excellent BBC Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett, etc.). However, I don't feel obliged to take over the task of investigating crimes from my local police department--especially given the risks.
We see police detection as a profession--just as we might see business analyst, or product manager, in the same way. We just don't see the harm in doing a bad job of requirements collection and analysis. Perhaps in an economic downturn, the higher cost, for technology vendors, of making bad product decisions might change that perception.

Tom,Good perspective on the role of and value of business analysts and product managers.Their focus has to start with understanding BUSINESS needs (whether internal IT or external market) and communicating that clearly within the development organization.Saeed
re: Hereditary conditions
Comment from NWGuy (not verified) on Wed, 01/21/2009 - 12:41
My Agile knowledge is only book/presentation level, never having the opportunity to be fully versed in the methodology. I did have one group doing "Agile light" but won't let that cloud my opinions.Agile appears to be a development methodology even though it is promoted as a business approach. When pressed most SCRUM Masters admit that there is value in the product manager/business analyst role, but that value shouldn't slow down their dev cycles.The PM/Business Analyst has to do all of that work upfront in order to properly drive use cases and build the backlog. It almost appears like it has to be tag-teamed; one person embedded with the dev team and another looking at the overall business impacts; focusing on future releases/backlog.

Good job... concealed is an artform.
But, be careful..... When Momma ain't happy.......
This is a discussion on My mom demanded I take my gun off! within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; So my parents invited my wife and I to come to a dance studio to learn some basic dances the foxtrot, waltz, rockstep and another ...
So my parents invited my wife and I to come to a dance studio to learn some basic dances the foxtrot, waltz, rockstep and another fast dance I can't remember, in Alexandria Virginia, a good little league pitcher could hit the District of columbia from Alexandria. She knows I carry, my dad is one of those carry when he thinks he should people. Anyway in the car about 2 miles from the dance studio my mom said....
"I opened the glove box so you can put your gun in".
I responded "Thanks mom but I'm not taking my gun off"
She turned around and said "YOU ARE NOT TAKING YOUR GUN INTO THE STUDIO"
I simple said "Sorry mom but I am"
"That is so WRONG" she said
"Why is it Wrong" I said
"Because its against the La......"
She saw me pipe up and before she could finish the word law she stopped.
The conversation ended.
I didn't push it but I made it a point to dance with almost every woman in the studio. My wife is a dancer and she wanted to dance with the instructors because well I SUCK! I'm a fast learner but she wanted to do some advanced turns. BTW GUYs there was about 40-50 people in the studio and the break up was like 15 guys to 35 women. I litterly got swarmed every time I tried to take a break and sit down for a break. I asked a lot of the women what they did for a living 2 of them worked for the FBI and I think another one might have actually been a cop. I was carrying a G17 in an MTAC with a spare mag on the week side. I danced with probably 20 women and none of them had a clue I had a gun.
After 1 an half hours of dancing we left and my mom didn't bring up the gun thing until we got home where she said did you really have it on the whole time and nobody noticed. " I said "not one of those ladies even had a clue". Her demeanor changed after that I think for the positive.
Its not about guns...Its about Freedom!

Yeah...my mom tried that with me when she came to visit...to the point where she told me it made the kids (i.e. my kids) nervous. I asked my wife if this was true--she did not believe so and thought mom was projecting. I'm teaching my kids responsible gun ownership. After I spoke with my mom, she no longer brought it up--I carry where legal...

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Good test that you passed.
Now if I went to that dance studio...the women would have their hands all over me (who could blame them really) so I probably could not have got away with it.
I agree with you. My mom has receintly got weird on me about CC.
She does not like the way I CC (with one in the chamber) but I though about it (with a little help from the forum) and I now believe she just does not like peole to CC.
She took aim at the way I CC, because she can't agrue the CC issue (to many people in the family CC).
IDK, at this point, I'm done with the confrontation. I just do what I'm going to do and let her speak her mind. I just don't want to fight.
I never had a problem with my Mom. I wasn't raised with guns in the family, but I qualified first time out, shooting a .38, when I was 18. Didn't own a gun until I was 21. I guess over the years she just got used to it and has never said a word.

Your family's security isn't being taken care of by your mother. Your own security measures aren't up to her, and she knows it. She should do a bit of investigation about "the law" she believes exists to deny you the right to defend your family. That's about all that can be said on the subject.
Always carry.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).

Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Good job on carrying concealed in the fact that no one noticed. My wife and I used to teach dance, I can imagine how easy it would be for your partner to notice a concealed gun. I'm amazed no one did.....good job.
When I was growing up at home, I remember my mother having an aversion to handguns. We had rifles and shotguns in the house, but handguns really bothered her. BTW she didn't have any past bad experience with any gun, but she said she "couldn't stand how they (handguns) looked".
My wife doesn't mind handguns at all, in fact she has one she carries. But she can't stand how a rat/mouse looks. It freaks her out, and I know it is the same for other women too. I've asked my wife about that and she can't quite explain it so I can understand where she's coming from.
My point is not to start a gender war, but to try and understand something about some women and handguns. I've read other similar stories on this very forum. Anyone have any ideas? Understanding this would help us help them cope with it.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Yea, I don't like it when people tell you it's wrong to carry in this place or that place but it's OK in others(not talking about any illegal places).
They somehow think you'll know when to carry and when not to. If it was that easy, there wouldn't be any successful crimes as everyone would know when a criminal strikes.

Swarmed by women eh? I'll be right over. :) Nice job with the mtac.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I don't think you mom has a problem with you carrying - generally. I think she was more afraid of someone putting their hand on your hips and finding it and causing a scene. For some reason the older generation seems to think that when you do something stupid it reflects badly on them. Go figure?!?
"I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals." - Sir Winston Churchill
I believe your mom was more scared of people finding out her boy carries a gun at dance class and being embarassed by it. I think.....
My wife dosn't care much for handguns........much the same as my mother dosn't like 'em much either. My wife was never exposed to guns much in her life so her fear is based in lack of knowledge. My mother however, she was raised around guns. rifles and scattergun mostly and nobody really 'carried' in my family. My grandparents were 'country folk' of the greatest generation and guns were just another aspect of life, much the same how I was raised. But even back then, it seems, handguns were 'somewhat' taboo.
Bless my mom's heart, she dosn't give me a hard time about it and accepts that I carry, even around her. She's had to witness and/or hear the 'bad stories' from friends who were victims, and hurricane Katrina was the 'event' that altered her point of view on GG'swith guns keeping the BG's out of the "herd's pasture".
The women in my life, including my teen daughters, just are not gun individuals.
Collectively though, they like and appreciate that someone trusted in thier lives has the means to protect them (I think.....Women are far more complicated than my somewhat simple, male mind can figure out) AND the knowledge of 'guns' in general. I pressure none of my girls to shoot or carry but encourage them to tag along every chance I get. Thier intrested, but it's not a priority for them.
Oh well, I love 'em anyway. God Bless all the women in our lives that love, need, and depend on us.
I would definitely need a gun in a dance studio - to blow my brains out.
When in doubt, just ask yourself, "What would Theodore Roosevelt do?"
Every society is 3 missed meals away from anarchy.
I'm older now, but when I was younger I, too, was swarmed by women who wanted to dance. Being able to dance is definitely a secret weapon you want in your arsenal (I once had a woman tell me that dancing all night was like "hours of foreplay." I think that was my motivation to polish my skills. )
I can't carry in the dance halls I frequent, because they serve alcohol, but I doubt I could keep partners from noticing any strong-side carry, even with a tuckable holster. I also understand your mom's concern -- remember concealed is concealed and we generally don't want unfamiliar people to know we are armed. If you choose to continue with dance lessons and progress to different dances and moves, you could easily be "outed." There are many moves where your partner will drag a hand across your waist, and they would feel the bump. You may need to consider a smartcarry or ankle holslter and a smaller gun at some point.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band, PSYCHO and More Set for Cleveland Orchestra's 2013-14 Celebrity Series, Beg. Tonight
The Cleveland Orchestra announces its acclaimed Celebrity Series for the 2013-14 season at Severance Hall, featuring iconic jazz and popular artists, and film scores of cinematic classics which will be shown on a large screen above the stage.
The New Orleans-based Preservation Hall Jazz Band opens the Series (without orchestra) in a performance at Severance Hall tonight, October 27. Multiple Grammy award-winner Natalie Cole will appear with The Cleveland Orchestra on December 11. Two films with live orchestral accompaniment complete the season's Celebrity Series: on Valentine's Day, February 14, the classic romantic movie Casablanca, and on April 22, the thriller Psycho will be presented on a giant screen with the Orchestra performing the score.
Launched as a three-concert series during the 2009-10 season, the Celebrity Series drew sold-out houses for each performance. For the 2013-14 season, the Series offers four concerts, to present a broad range of musical styles, exploring avenues of orchestral music including classic movie scores as well as classic and popular jazz.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, based in the French Quarter of New Orleans, appears at Severance Hall (without orchestra) on October 27 in a program that features vintage sounds of New Orleans jazz. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band was founded in 1961 at the venerable music venue from which it derives its name, and has been touring the world since 1963. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band has been called by the New York Times "a multigenerational mix with appeal to a range of musical constituencies, not just aficionados of traditional jazz." The group was last presented at the Blossom Music Festival in 2012.
Superstar Natalie Cole, the daughter of the legendary Nat King Cole, is famed for her interpretation of classic American songs and R&B hits such as "Unforgettable" and "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)." On December 11, she joins The Cleveland Orchestra in a program that features a selection of favorites from her award-winning albums. Ms. Cole's career spans over 30 years in which she has sold millions of records, won nine Grammy awards, and has appeared in numerous films and television shows such as "Touched by an Angel" and "Grey's Anatomy."
For Valentine's Day on February 14, The Cleveland Orchestra performs the famed soundtrack to the romantic masterpiece Casablanca, which will be shown on a giant screen above the stage in Severance Hall.

Former Press Secretary: Obama Admin. Tried to Conceal Drone Strikes on Americans

Top White House official comes clean about covert drone strikes
In recent weeks, controversy has been boiling over the targeted
killings of American citizens with drones
. While most would agree that Americans who join hostile overseas terrorist groups like al Qaeda may be difficult to capture and may necessitate strikes with deadly force, most also take issue with the way the administration handled the information.
At a time when drones are
deployed over U.S. airspace
to "monitor the homeland" and discussions of arming such drones are ongoing, the issue is a sensitive one for Americans who fear what could happen under a system with such a lack of transparency.
I. Down the Rabbit Hole
Robert Gibbs, a former White House press secretary who recently joined MSNBC -- a network owned by Microsoft Corp. (
), Comcast Corp. (
) and General Electric Comp. (
) -- gave an exclusive interview with his new employer on the politics talk segment "Up".
In the interview clips are played in which he and the new press secretary -- Jay Carney -- are shown dodging questions about targeted drone killings. In the interview, he confirms, "When I went through the process of becoming press secretary, one of the things, one of the first things they told me was, 'You're not even to acknowledge the drone program. You're not even to discuss that it exists.'"
When reporters started asking questions about drones, Mr. Gibbs recalls, "I realized I'm not supposed to talk about it."
The case is drawing fictional comparisons, such as "The Wizard of Oz" (in which a normal man hides behind an animated curtain to hide his lack of magic powers) or "Alice in Wonderland" (due to questions of how many layers of obfuscation are wrapping the reality of the covert actions -- i.e. how far down the rabbit hole, we must go to find the truth).

Mr. Gibbs used
The Wizard of Oz
analogy in his own interview. The former official, who says he never talked to President Obama about the issue, complains that "when [drone strikes on Americans are] obviously happening, undermines people's confidence overall in the decisions that their government makes."
II. Drone Medal Awarded, Brennan Nomination Jeopardized
The White House has
finally agreed to release some documents
to the Senate and House, but much about the reportedly highly codified death strikes program is unknown. Reportedly the only people with fully details are the Obama administration and high ranking military and intelligence officials.

use of drones overseas
exploded in recent years
. The autonomous
surveillance-cum-killing machines
offer a way to project U.S. hegemony without risking the lives of servicemen. Reportedly
one in three U.S. warplanes
is today a drone.
The Pentagon recently
announced a new medal of honor
-- the Distinguished Warfare Medal -- for drone operators and cyberwarfare experts. The medal ranks above the prestigious Purple Heart (which is awarded to servicemen wounded or killed in battle), raising criticism. Critics dub the award "the Geek's Cross".
The controversy over drone killings of American citizens and the secrecy surrounding the administrations' rules on the topic has impacted the nomination of John Brennan to become director of the
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
John Brennan helped mastermind the drone killings. [Image Source: Reuters]
John Brennan has also been criticized for supporting "enhanced interrogation" (torture), warrantless wiretaps, and the Iraq invasion/war. Much of these policies were his work during his time with the previous Bush Administration.
has a
nice piece
on these issues.
Sen. Rand Paul
(R-Tenn.) says the strikes raise serious Constitutional issues, due to the administration's secrecy and ambiguous language. He says unless he gets answers he plans to do "whatever it takes" to block Mr. Brennan's nomination.
That in turn, could create chaos in U.S. intelligence ranks and compromise America's ability to monitor enemies and defend itself overseas.

Drywall Patching - Probably easy but i'm a newbie
Hi -
we recently had a bathroom fan put in and we had to cut some drywall out to fit the fan in. We don't have the old drywall and I have no idea on how to fix.
My common sense side says I go buy a piece of drywall and cut out a piece to fit it, but I have no idea how to make it stick in. I've never done this before, so i'm truly clueless.
Can anyone suggest the easiest thing to do? Many thanks!
Do you know how to cut drywall? You use a razor blade. Look it up on youtube if you need to. Measure it and sketch it onto a new piece of drywall.
Instead of putting a cube piece of drywall into that place and spackling, rather cut that opening so the sides are at a 45* and then cut your new piece so the side of it are a 45. These angles will go better together.
It's hard to describe in text, look at this
First you have to measure what thickness it is. It's going to be 5/8 or 1/2.
Go to Lowes or HD and look for the smaller pieces they have for sale, should be 2' X 2'. If they do not have a piece the thickness you need go find a damaged piece of the thickness you need and make a deal with the manager.
You need a framing square, razer knife, some sheetrock screws, small roll of drywall tape, 6" wide drywall knife, sanding sponge, primer and paint and some dry wall compound.
Remove the fan cover, measure what size you need and use the square to lay it out. Just run the knife over the face over the face of it to cut through the paper. Bend the piece back to snap the gypsom and cut it from the back side to cut the paper.
Screw the piece in place making sure the screw is just below the surface but not breaking the paper. Wipe some drywall compound on the seam then set the tape over the compound. Wipe over it lightly to compress most of the compound from under it. Apply another thin coat of compound, the key word being thin.
Let it dry 24 hours, wipe over it to only knock off the high places and go over it with another coat of thin compound and let it dry 24 hours. Now go over it with the sanding sponge, do not over sand down into the paper, if there's any low spots or air bubble just thin a small amount of compound with a few drops of water and go over it again.
No amount of primer or paint will fix any flaws.
Once it's finish sanded prime and paint.

A builder was stabbed to death by robbers outside a school for an empty bag, his devastated family said today.
Father-of-one Zydrunas Laurinavicius, 38, died in front of his father as the pair walked in Hendon last week.
His heartbroken sister Indre Padrieziene, 27, revealed he had been ambushed by a gang who demanded the holdall he was carrying.
Mrs Padrieziene, 27, from Beckton: said "We are still in stress and shock. This is horrible. We still can't believe this has happened.
"It was just an empty bag, he didn't have anything in his bag, he had no money, it's crazy, it makes no sense."
She spoke as police today charged a second man with the murder of the builder.
Mr Laurinavicius had been walking along Parson Street on Thursday with his father Pranas, 67. The pair were renovating a £1.6 million detached home nearby.
The bag being carried by the builder was stolen in the incident and has not been recovered.
Mrs Padrieziene said their father was still "in shock" but was not injured in the attack.
Mr Laurinavicius, whose young son lives in his native Lithuania with his mother, was stabbed in the chest and arm at about 4.45pm and died at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics.
Parents and children walking home from nearby St Mary's Church of England High School, Hendon School and a nursery were ushered away from the scene by police.
The builder's former boss said: "He was a really friendly guy, who liked to make jokes but worked very hard. They tried to take his bag but Zydrunas is a big man, he did not want to just let them steal from him.
"I don't understand how they could just kill him like that in the day with so many people around."
Terae Eusebe, 20, an IT engineer of Newham, has been charged with murder.
A 23-year-old man arrested at Heathrow on Sunday as he tried to board a plane to Egypt was also charged with murder today.
A 19-year-old man and two girls, aged 16 and 17, have been bailed until September.
Witnesses are asked to call the incident room on 0208 358 0200 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.Reuse content

Spiritual Healing Information
Free Card Reading Results
Shift the World You See - Bring in fresh perspective
You drew the card INNOCENCE from the
free card readings page
or you have been led to this page by a search on pertinent keywords. Either way, perhaps the message of the INNOCENCE card will be helpful.
Usually, the INNOCENCE card comes up when we've become predictable or gotten ourselves in a rut. It could be a rut at work, in interaction to our family, with our intimate relationship, or even with God. Here is the message of the innocence card:
Life has become so routine that it lacks surprise, so you are becoming emotionally, mentally, spiritually or physically stale.
If you think of the word, innocence, what comes to mind? Someone who is naive, perhaps, and easily duped? If that is part of your definition, the very belief around that could be stopping you from embracing the fresh new perspective this card suggests you very much need. If you already know the answers, there is no need to ask new questions. This is a time where new questions are needed.
A breath of youthful innocence can release you from knowing everything. How ridgid is your daily schedule now? The extent to which rigidity is present is the extent to which you "know" everything. If you believe you know or should know what to do and when to do it, so how can new experience reach you. Or maybe someone else holds your schedule and you allow that because you know they know everything. There is another opinion, deep beneath the controlled and predictable path, but you have to be willing to let go of what you think you know, to hear it.
Give up your attachment to form. Allow freshness and unexpected direction. You have been prisoner to your own plan, and are now in the proverbial rut. Forget what you know. Ask what you feel. Forget what you expect. Ask what you want. Forget what you see. Ask what you miss seeing. Look on your life and the absence of surprise, and ask how growth is possible.
Innocence means an ability to approach any situation without expectation or preconception. Try going into your work place as if you've never been there before. Greet each person in total innocence, not expecting them to be the same person they were yesterday but as if you never knew them. Live in a state of innocence, and you can create a new world every day. In order to allow innocence in your life, you must give up control. This may be the greatest message of this card. As long as you only do something when you are reasonably sure you can predict the result, you stifle any chance of breakthrough or peak experience in your life. Try something new. Be willing not to know.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|There are a lot of threads discussing this and it seems that they all come to about the same conclusions- 35-40' is about right for a liveaboard couple. It seems to me that it is also a matter of personal preference, some are perfectly happy and comfortable with a 35' and others need the space of a 44', or larger. There is no one single factor that determines this but rather a complex personal formula that involves the type of sailing anticipated, costs (purchase, maintenance, etc.), storage capacity, physical size and strength of the owners, and on and on.... I have concluded that taking all the factors into consideration that 38' is the minimum that I will be comfortable in and 41' is about as large as I would want to buy. This is based on decades of owning boats of different sizes, and I am only planning to live aboard from 3 to 5 months of the year. I just met a couple that had a 42' for many years and concluded that now that they are full time liveaboards that 35' is perfect, so they had a custom all aluminum cutter built and they couldn't be happier. As with most things there is no "formula" that works for everyone.

Do you miss 3 feet of length that much on a sailboat? What length boat is enough for you? I hope nobody replies saying a 15' dingy is all they need to live on
Also some of the new boats are so spacious that proceeding the length of the cabin at 30 degrees heel risks a 8 - 10 foot tumble if you lose your grip on one of the few handholds along the way. (but perhaps that's not an issue with an at-the-dock liveaboard)
PBeezer seems to be quite comfortable living and cruising on a 32 footer - but often that comes down to individual personalities and their ideas of necessities and requirements. Find the compromise of space vs storage vs managability that works for you.
|When I asked that question a good few years ago, 40 ft seemed the most common answer, until I asked about single handed cruising, then the answer came down to 35 ft. I got 38 ft. In practice, I think I could happily handle 40 ft or more alone. There are so many more ways of making life easy than before. The extra few feet are in the fattest part of the boat, so it's a lot of volume difference. However, how the interior of the boat is designed makes a huge difference. The newer boats pack standard stuff like tanks and engines much better than the older designs. On the other hand, as a cruiser, the newer boats have far too little storage space, preferring large open saloons and spacious looking berths - in my view.
majic size
I have a 40' for several years and lived on board during the winters. it was the perfect size to live on. However, something in the range of 35 is easier and that much cheaper to sail and maintain. most all my friends had 40-42'. the smallest liveaboard was a single guy- 30'.
handling is not an issue now-a-days, draft, space, electricity are..
I never lived on a 15 but I have lived on a 22 and for many years lived on a 26. I now live on a 34 (largest boat I ever had was 42 but I lived on my 26 at the time and raced the 42) and don't think I will get much larger then that. When you think about the 3 foot reach it's not just that the boat is 3 feet shorter but instead the boat is shorter, narrower and much lighter. When you change the length of a boat you are changing something in three dimensions and the effect is much greater the just the change in length. Add 3 feet and add sail area, docking expense, strain on sheets and other rigging, larger anchor etc. Three feet is a large change when you are talking about 30 to 40 foot boats.
All the best,
Robert Gainer
I suppose that depends on the way the designer uses the interior volume. Not all same length hulls have the same interior volume.
I've seen 42 foot interiors which are no bigger than 35's. And this all depends if you live aboard or weekend. I would like a stand up aft cabin for no other reason that in our aft cabin double one person has to move for the other to get out of the bed. And perhaps a second head because of the privacy IF the V is occupied. We don't usually have anyone sleeping forward to walking 12 feet to a head is certainly not an issue.
I think around 40 with the increase in beam and volume would be optimal for a couple living aboard... and still keep the forces controllable.

Hair Today - Gone Tomorrow -- Female Pattern Baldness
Dealing with this issue in droves has indebted me to the degree of difficulty this problem is posing for a huge portion of the women in America today. To date . . it is not spoken openly about, addressed regularly, or even reported on with much interest and I'm not sure why. One thing I know for sure, is that it is a HUGE huge problem and it is only getting worse - by the month - by the week - by the day. It concerns me deeply so approx. 4 years ago when I first noticed it growing out of control, I began my research. Casual at first, intense as the days went on.
I know I am not a whiz bang MIT trained research scientist, about the farthest thing from...BUT, I have worked on over 10,000 heads of hair, spent 3 years studying cosmetic chemistry, learned the art of microscopic hair analysis and most importantly had the problem myself and owned hundreds of clients with it as well - that are now completely cured. A pretty decent resume and history in my own mind, I guess and hopefully in yours.
I'd like to begin the next couple months ongoing series of Hair Today Gone Tomorrow with my experiences reading and analyzing a particular study performed in Japan that I found extremely helpful & hopeful. This study examines the efficacy of the hair growth promoter t-flavanone on female pattern baldness. Now before I lose you, I better bring it on down to earth . . Over 2000 natural plant extracts were tested
as an herbal medicine that promote the proliferation of hair follicle cells. t-flavanone is more commonly known as Hypericum Perfortum and has been regarded as a salve, a gargle and an herbal tea with an excellent robust effect.
The types and degrees of hair problems for women vary with country and races, however they can be roughly classified into 2 groups: frizzy & less volume. The reports are that fewer women than men suffer sever alopecia (hair loss)but for many women the hair density and hair diameter decrease as they grow older. Reductions of hair volume have a great impact on appearance.
For women, balding or hair loss has more serious consequences for quality of life than for men. On
e characteristic of hair loss in females is a widespread and diffuse balding area that differs considerably from male pattern baldness and makes it more difficult to diagnose alopecia in women. Its the manner in which the hair is lost that is deceiving. . . men lose up the power alleys, on top of the head and along the hairline so it is noticed much more. With women it is an all - over even loss of hair - much more difficult to notice by the eye. The woman herself of course, notices, the ponytail is thinner, the general bulk of the hair continues to deteriorate.
The hair cycle consists of three phases. In the anagen or growth phase, hair matrix cells grow rapidly, extending the hair shafts. In the catagen phase, hair matrix cell growth is diminished and epithelial cells around hair bulbs undergo apoptosis (death of cell). In the telogen or resting phase, hair follicles shrink and stop growing.
The anagen period of normal human hair growth is as long as 4-7 years, but is some kinds of alopecia, it gradually become shorter and finally decreases to only a few months. As a results, the hair does not grow to be hard, thick terminal hair, but remains as thin, short vellus hair and enters the catagen phase. I have learned that thick hair is produced during the anagen so it is important to act on hair follicles during that phase to improve hair volume. To make hair thicker for effective hair growth promotion is is necessary to increase anagen hair and also to maintain the anagen period of each hair follicle.
Previous work by Kao Corporation in Japan and one scientist named HOTTA has identified both a planet extract with hair follicle stimulation activity and an in vitro model for testing the effect of factors on the developmental processes of the hair follicle.
Now this is the part I found fascinating, in order to determine the efficacy of the t-flavonone to treat female baldness the authors in Japan performed a double blind placebo controlled study on 23 Japanese women.
Based on the authors system of classifying female pattern baldness with scores from I to VIII ( Figure 4)
the women received scores from II to VI. 13 were assigned to the group treated with t-flavonone and another 10 women were assigned to the placebo group.Test materials for this study were lotions with and without the t-flavanone active ingredient at .1%. Subjects applied lotion twice daily for 24 weeks to all scalp areas around the balding area ( the parietal area).
From a square 5mm by 5mm in the parietal area at the beginning and end of the 24-week test, the hairs were removed at the scalp surface by cutting. The cut hairs were weighed and counted and the hair diameter was measured. The weight of the hair treated with
t-flavanone was found to increase by 9.4% while that of the placebo decreased by 4.7%. This result was statistically significant. With regard to the number of hairs the hair diameter the group with the t-flavonone tended to improve more than the placebo group.
A much larger efficacy study happened next with 54 women selected with significant hair loss levels. This time 28 with the t-flavonone and 26 in the placebo. The time frame was the same, but this time photographs were taken, a Phototrichogram was performed on each subject ( see inset)which basically measures the diameter of the hairs and finally Dermatologists evaluated the general effectiveness of the 2 treatments.
As shown in Table 1, 22 of the 28 subjects in the t-flavonone treated group were evaluated as improved by visual evaluation ( 19 were improved slightly, 2 were improved clearly), while only 7 of the 26 in the placebo group were classified as improved (ya gotta wonder about those?!!!?!?) checkout the great example in Figure 5
While the average diameter of all hairs from the observation spots significantly increased by 13% in the group treated with t-flavonone, it decreased in the placebo group by 5.0% The average diameter of anagen hairs also increased by 12% . Both of those difference are statistically significant.
Figure 6 shows the results of the dermatologists judgements on general effectiveness: 82% of the group treated with t-flavonone and 27% of the placebo group were evaluated as slightly effective or better. The differences are statiscally significant. I just think this is such an easy - simple solution and why it is not in many formulations is beyond me.
THRIVEN and 1 of its secret ingredients : T-flavonone
I have incorporated t-flavonone into THRIVEN taking advantage of its colorless, odorless and ethanol soluble properties making it easy to use. I feel the formula needs to be on the head overnight 1-2 nights per week and if possible used as a daily conditioner as well. Whether it be T-Flavonone or a number of other unique ingredients in the formulation the fact remains the 1-2 punch of 10,000HEADS - Hair Strength System works and works well, I hope to get many of you signed up to the protocol.
This is one of the many unique approaches I have taken to the formulation of Thriven, it is unique, innovative and ground breaking. I have this on my website to purchase! Get it!
These studies prove that t-flavonone increases the diameter of female hair and thus improves female pattern baldness. t-flavonone is a useful ingredient that can help women who are troubled with hair loss or lair with less volume. The usefulness of the t-flavonone lotion to treat female type baldness was 82% and that is revolutionary.
Therefore THRIVEN is revolutionary
THRIVEN comes in an 8 ounce jar : $52.00
attached is a card that explains 2nd secret supplement for the 1-2 Punch

how much is shipping for THRIVEN and the info for the 1-2 punch to London, UK
please give me a total quota so i can pay you via paypal (verified member and address is confirmed)asap .
Also, i read the post about rules from buying from you, but is it possible for you to send as "gift" and to list the price of the item in the package as less than $18...this is due to customs..(the charge crazy here)...its like the only reaosn stopping me buying thriven and all the other products is the custom charge (i know its a commercial business..but..) but they charge excessively. for instances less say thriven is $50 + $12 shipping charge + $25 for info on 1-2 punch (god i hope it aint fenugreek/saw palmetto or sea kelp/ or even omegas/fish oil..etc)that will be a total of $87 which is understnadbly a lot but its a high quality product so its understandble ...but then list the price of $87 in the sent package then the cutoms will charge like ANOTHER £18 (british pounds about $36)...so as u se its soo much stresss...but still im interested so please let me know.
the condiitoner is 8oz ..how much do we actually use per application..i mean im a heavy user...i use like a palm full of KeraCare humecto (5lb tub), so...loool how much should i use , should i use it in conjuntion with another conditoner..
Also, since this conditioner is like a treatment for hair growth too, do we also apply and massage it into our scalp? ? ?
Also, whats the precentage of the active ingreident in the THRIVEN is it 1% (one percent) as used in the study or is it more / less?
i have so many questions...but i leave it next post i dont think BLOGGER will let me post all these questions..Please answer them if you can....
(PS - what happenes if men uses them? can they use them?
whoa . . . slow down
When you purchase the THRIVEN, you get both. A card comes attached - naming the 2nd part.
I promise.. its none of those idiotic herbs nor hair vitamins nor anything you have tried
I wouldn't bother if it was,trust me.
I have been shipping all over the world, quite a few times to UK - I put 'gift' - I don't care - at this point anyway. I have only shipped 2 units with each order never one - its smarter. Shipping and insurance was $26.00 US dollars. For one its about 12.50 US.
You use a palm full of Humecto?Damn girl... You can get Kera Care over there?
That's my favorite conditioner and the one I USE on myself, I'm shocked and pleasantly surprized at least we are on the same page!
Its 2% I can never do things as they are, always "more"!
Why don't you explain your hair thinning issues...is it as stated in study? allover evenly?
This is an OVERNIGHT treatment, my own little method-of-madness that I have found works miracles...so its a must.
I have many men on program, I tell them its for women . . .they come anyway. Pro Surfers, actors many of them really believe in the THRIVEN and these are men on Propecia as well.
I have never done any studies on men so have no numbers nor stats...
They have had plenty of research, its the girlies turn

YAAAAAAAAY im so excited...i can FINALLY order thriven....ReplyDelete
thank you soooo much for replying....also, im confused on one thing ..how do we apply it lol? i mean do we apply it in the scalp...or just on hair..when u say overnight do u mean..its only one application?
god i hope im making sense.
OMG...Yh we easily can get keracare (its everywhere..both online and in beauty stores)...i looove the company..i literally nearly cried when i found out i coudnt use its hydrating detangling shampoo (cause it has ALS)...so..i only use it in extreme situaitons like when my hair is too tangled.
I know ..lol i use so much conditoner but i have thick hair thats verrrrrrrryyy curly (not frizzy Basically type 3B/3C hair (old- mariah carey style)..
TBH, the thriven will be for my mom, were both heavy users when it comes to condithers...our hair just drinks it up....lool
she had a goood sucess with fenugreek (internally + topically) i mean treally good results...but the problem with it , it smells baaaaaad lol smells like curry-ish (but sweeeter and stronger)..
So she stopped using it...but the hair that grew from the fenugreek still remain....so thats great.
Anyway let me know

OMG - im sooooooo thrilled you liked the forum idea..
my two favourite forum host are
i think these are the best of the best.
OK so you want pros and cons of forums here they are:
* easy for readers to navigate to
* easy for you to answer/teach/explain/illustrate to your readers
* easy to post picture via picture hosting such as www.imageshack.us (u just selevt the forum link and copy and paste it)
* its amazing in communication - it really becomes a community ppl offer adivce to one another under your knowledge and supervision ofcourse (i can literally see it attraxt a whole new ppl....for instance.. HairTalk (http://talk.hairboutique.com/default.asp) does have a mixed demographic and does have a seciton o fhair color..but its no where near as detailed as yours.... and LongHairCareForum (http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/)...specialise in ethnic/curly/relaxed hair and sutyff..which u also specialise in...
so people of both forums will come to ur forum and ah...it well be so great !!!!!!
* you can divide your topics into sections..for instance...ONE on hair health one on HAIR loss one on HAIR color one on HAIR ReLAXERs.....then in side each seciton there will be "threads" one tread for isntanc will be in the hair color section thats only about TONERS or BLEACH ......etc
you can also have a seciton jsut for pictures for instances for shade charts..etc (like ur FILES section in google groups)
basically combining HaitTalk + LHCF + KILLERCHEMIST KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE + and the secret plus is BTC (http://www.behindthechair.com/forum/listthreads.aspx?TID=125) ....
This way you can attract not only new readers and beginners but also provide the nessary step for more advanced readers...that already read your blog and have the basics down ...but dont know how to apply it ..for instances, formulations, and the whole dolly/molly sigment (THAT WAS GREAT MY FAV DOLLY omg love it love the step by step pics AMAZING !!!!)
So if we think about it ..u can easily cover every single aspect that comes into ur head...i think the main thing the internet DOESNT have for us hair enthusiasts...is theres is no middle ground....i mena theres is a forum for basics about hair colorng such as Hair Talk...then u have the tooo advanced websites such as BTC (behindthechair.com) and ASKMAGS (askmags.com) BUT there's no middle ground that helps people to transtion and not just get lost i the technicality.
that way we can USE our CRIB COLORIST knowledge to become TRUE CRIB COLORIST!!! (omg can you till im so excited)
OK.....no for the cons.
* its will take some time to actually gather ppl to the site..usualyl it will be by WOM (word of mouth)....so the starting up phase will be a little slower..but the sucess with ur site u can introduce them to the new forum
* it might get stressful in the first place to actually do everythign by urself...that where ur readers com to help U !!! loll
* another disadvantage..is obviously the forum will bhe a huuuge sucess.....thus, haters might come there and "spam" or coz some fueds (very unlikely)
* probably the main disadvantage is ofcourse like any other forum ....readers will have to sign up or register to a free acount berfore posting..etc (which is not a big deal actually !)
* another con is basically THERE IS none ....cons usually they come and go as the site progresses..such as maybe the host going offline due to maintinance (rarely)...lol
I know i wrote alot but i just got so excited ...sorry
Anywho let us know how it goes,
I'm over at Hairboutique aswell, it's great over there, but there's not enough on hair colour or posters about hair colour.ReplyDelete
This is also a random request... can you please post the picture of the 'Level 12' example on the Level bobble heads on here. I looked all over your blog and also KillerPics aswell and couldn't find a picture that was of a good size. Just if you have it around, it's not urgent. Thankyou.

BREAKING NEWS (THAT I JUST GOT in my email)
P&G (makers of PANTENE (err..i hate that brand)
HAS JUST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT TO BUY Major Hairdresser Haircare Brand:
IT AGREED TO BUY Frédéric Fekkai !!!!!!
(omg..- not that i have ever used fekkai...but still
(this info below may not be in order)
First they bought my once fave HERBAL ESSENCES (and they completely changed the ingredients..i used be really gently and "herbal" now it's exactly like pantene but with coloring and smell...THEY MADE PPL'S HAIR FALL !!!!)
THEN they bought WELLA (im going to cry)
AND now another salon brand..i really think im gonna cry.....i absolutely hate P&G with a passion....(though i love their mini brands such as wella..etc)
(im not sure if they also bought clairol since herbal essences is part of clairol....hmm ill check....
DAMN ..they bought so many small brand id be even more pissed of if they end up buying OJON..(*knocks wood*)
...TO be biased or anythign but SOMETIMES....when big companies buy smaller companies it becomes a success like when L'OREAL bought Soft-Sheen Carsons DARK & LOVELY (aka the first true relaxer ever made....(there are better ones now but still)
As im also form the uk (hi christina) ...since L'OREAL bought Dark&Lovely ..its now aviable LITERALLY EVERY WHERE..even small drug stores (think CVS but the uk version SUPERDRUG/BOOTS)...heck ..its also avaible in shops like safeway... and other groceries ..thats just insane and i just ABSOLUTELY LOVE it..cause before you'd have to go to the small ethnic stores that targeted to ONLY ethnic people...so it was herder to find and quite discriminative..but now ..literally you go anywhere and they have an ETHNIC HAIR CARE in the store THATS AAMMMAAZING !!
But at the same time, it can be an aweful thing as well like when L'OREAL bought PUREOLOGY OMG...THE DISASTEROUS OUTRAGE that , that caused....they changed the ingreidents HORRIBLY !!! it was perfect before..now its generic *ut theyare changing it i think...?*
Anyway, dont let me ramble on heres some more info:
OMG...don't even get me started about PureOlogy...KC knows they whole thing...L'Oreal...biggest diverters of them all.ReplyDelete
Yeah that's it. Thanks Jessica.ReplyDelete
I call it the "slumber treatment" for THRIVEN, say you go to bed at 11:00... about 7-8 shampoo your hair, apply to cover and comb thru - pin -up : apply plastic cap. Gives product couple hours to soak in, it dries out so you are not going to bed with wet head. Lay towel on pillow - go to sleep - if you can do it with the plastic cap - great.
In morning - rinse product out completely. When you think you are finshed rinsing ( no shampoo) rinse 1-2 minutes longer. Style your hair and your off...!
Depends on length and thickness of hair as to how much to apply. But you should get numerous applications out the jar if done right. Use large tooth comb to comb thru hair once applied.
Kera Care was never a "color" company although they have now made their own line of hair color (like everyone) hair color is the one category that increased in 2007 and it increased a LOT ...and has increased steadily over last 5-6 years.
I am assuming that is why they will not fix their shampoos -
I even emailed them about it.
I like their owner, he is a chemist like me...so he (almost) gets it - he's middle eastern so he 'gets' the whole ethnic hair problem.
But unless you're chick you never quite get it all.
Yes i heard the bad news about FEKAI the other day - - he sold out.
totally sold out . . .and he has a whole slew of new Salons coming out 6 that I've heard of - 1 here in my home town of Malibu.
So the whole banana will go to P & G . . actually no i bet not, when Sassoon was sold to P & G, they split it up the products went to p & g and the Salons and Acadmies went to Carlton. I bet he does the same thing I cannot imagine P & G wanting his Salons. ?
They all sell out, it blows my mind.
I am not a fan of Behind the Chair - everytime I check it out - it seems - low rent.
Why would you have a site that is supposedly ONLY for hairdressers, open to the PUBLIC? Make up your mind.
Pick a goal and stick to it,
they try to hit it all
I just do not think it is done well, the topics are not current or advanced enough ( for what it is) I mean a lot of you are more educated than a lot of the stylists on that site. I try to give it a chance . . . my mentor is always on there doing some sort of hair show thingy. I do look at her stuff.
My daughter and her work together on photo shoots a lot. You can look for her if you want Lucie Doughty - she is Paul Mitchells Editorial Editor.
Sorry to burst your bubble but OJON was purchased by that other MONOPOLY Behemoth . . . .Estee Lauder, so it is already destroyed if you ask me.
Why promote a product based on this OJON plant yet use Shea butter as your main ingredient?
makes no sense.
Bet you a nickel they used the OJON plant UNTIL the company got bought by Estee Lauder and the suits looked at the 'cost' of retrieving that plant ( I watched the original story 7-8 years ago) and thought "hey for a fraction of that cost we can go to Africa and get shea butter- that works pretty darn good"
No one will ever know
That is how corporate America works, unfortunately.
I'm more into the TRUTH in matters.
L'oreal has a hard time turning out good products, and I am not sure why - maybe because its French . . .
I have good news though \
I am on a mission and got my first shipment today....
I used to be more motivated to do this and got lazy.
I was always the onr that knew the best newest hippiest and healthiest hair products to use...
so I am going to run products through some tests then give them to some clients...and I will be posting some new winners for you all to use.
Time to go back to the smaller companies. I mean those large companies will always make the TOP 10 shampoos in the country. Our little world will not affect them . . .BUT - - we will have the healthies - shinest and best hair on the planet ;-)
Tell you what would be amazing. If a selection of products were tested for various things like health of the hair etc, and have 'winners'.ReplyDelete
So the winner for shampoo is... the winner for styling product is...
that would
but unfortunately, before we get to that capacity . . . we need more readers.
We need more PR and I need some of you to write in to some newspapers and tell them how you feel about our little blog here. Every newspaper has a Fashion/Beauty/Style Section that I feel would be thrilled to hear of a site that is truly teaching Crib Colorists from a Professional, don't you?
All we need is one story, I feel, to get a zillion and 1 readers...the more readers we have the more products I will be sent to test....the better the RESULTS I can give you !
I'm not asking for anything false, but how you feel - written to maybe the NY TIMES, the WAshington POST, the LA TIMES - OR YOUR OWN PAPER, I feel it needs to be a source that is not affected by P & G and advertising dollars. Which should be a newspaper as opposed to a magazine.
Just hopin' I can inspire some of you...

"Rising Up: Hale Woodruff's Murals at Talladega College" Provides Fresh Look at Murals
Depicting Key Moments in African American History; First Ever Tour for Murals from Talladega, Ala.
ATLANTA, May 2, 2012 – With 12 months of conservation work now complete, the historic Talladega Murals will be presented to a national audience for the first time in a new exhibition – "Rising Up: Hale Woodruff's Murals at Talladega College" – on view at the High Museum of Art June 9 to Sept. 2, 2012.
The Museum and College announced dates and locations for several U.S. museums set to share the murals with audiences through 2015.
Following the High exhibition, the murals will travel to the African American Museum in Dallas Oct. 6 to Feb. 28, 2013. Other venues to host the murals include:
Conservation PartnershipIn March 2011, the High Museum of Art and Talladega College in Alabama began a five-year collaborative project to restore, research and exhibit Hale Aspacio Woodruff's renowned Talladega murals.
Commissioned in 1938 to commemorate the 1867 founding of Talladega College and celebrate its success as one of the nation's first all-black colleges, the murals have been continuously viewed on campus since their installation in the lobby of Savery Library.
Considered among Woodruff's greatest achievements, the Talladega murals underwent conservation at the Atlanta Art Conservation Center under the auspices of the High Museum of Art. With conservation work now complete, the murals will be presented to a national audience for the first time. The process addressed the effects of aging on the works and unveiled some surprising discoveries about Woodruff's creative process.
The MuralsComprising six monumental canvases arranged in two cycles of three, the vibrant murals portray heroic efforts to resist slavery as well as moments in the history of the college, which opened in 1867 to serve the educational needs of a new population of freed slaves.
The first cycle includes The Mutiny On The Amistad, which depicts the uprising on the slave ship La Amistad; The Trial of the Amistad Captives, depicting the court proceedings that followed the mutiny; and The Repatriation of the Freed Captives, portraying the subsequent freedom and return to Africa of the Amistad captives.
The companion murals The Underground Railroad, The Building of Savery Library and Opening Day at Talladega College show themes of the Underground Railroad, the construction of Savery Library at Talladega College, and the early days of the college campus, for which the murals were commissioned, respectively.
The ExhibitionThe exhibition at the High Museum of Art will include works that span a good part of Woodruff's early career with a particular focus on his important work as a muralist. In addition to the Talladega murals and studies, this exhibition will feature examples of Woodruff's other mural commissions, as well as smaller-scale paintings he made while in Mexico, where he went in 1936 to study mural painting with Diego Rivera.
The project also explores Woodruff's impact on the arts and the opportunities he provided for artists of color in his role as the first chair of the newly established art department of Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University) from 1931 to 1946. The exhibition project will be accompanied by a catalogue that includes essays on the artist, the murals, Talladega College, and American mural painting in the decades surrounding the Talladega project. A descriptive photo essay on the findings of the conservation work will also be featured. After the murals are restored and exhibited nationally, they will return to Talladega College in 2015.
"Preserving and exhibiting these murals holds a particular relevance for the people of Atlanta," said Michael E. Shapiro, the High's Nancy and Holcombe T. Green, Jr. Director. "Hale Woodruff was of central importance to the burgeoning art scene here in the '30s and '40s and an integral figure in the history of public art in the Southeast. Seeing Woodruff's newly restored Talladega murals in the context of his other works will be a significant experience for both local and national audiences."
"This is a very historic event for Talladega College, not only getting the murals restored, but to share them on tour throughout the country during the next three years," stated Dr. Billy C. Hawkins, President of Talladega College. "The tour will give the institution great exposure and help in our fundraising and recruiting efforts."
Hale Aspacio WoodruffHale Aspacio Woodruff (1900–1980) was born in Cairo, Ill. He studied art at both the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis and the Fogg Museum of Harvard University. Woodruff contributed to the development of African American art, not only as an artist, but also as a distinguished arts educator.
Woodruff's first mural project was in collaboration with Wilmer Jennings in 1934. The four-panel mural, titled The Negro in Modern American Life: Agriculture and Rural Life; Literature, Music, and Art, was part of a public works project and a teaching project that involved both Woodruff's students and a local junior high school. In 1935, Woodruff worked on Works Progress Administration (WPA) murals for the Atlanta School of Social Work.
Between 1931 and 1946, Woodruff served as the first chair of the newly established art department of Atlanta University. During the summer of 1936, he studied mural painting in Mexico under the mentorship of Diego Rivera. In 1946, he became a teacher at New York University, where he taught art for more than 20 years until his retirement in 1968. During the mid-1960s Woodruff and fellow artist Romare Bearden were instrumental in starting the Spiral Group, a collaboration of African American artists working in New York. The Studio Museum in Harlem presented a retrospective of his work titled "Hale Woodruff: 50 Years of His Art" in 1979. The exhibition Hale Woodruff, Nancy Elizabeth Prophet, and the Academy was at the Atlanta-based Spelman College Museum of Fine Art in 2007.
Exhibition Organization and Support"Rising Up: Hale Woodruff's Murals at Talladega College" is organized by the High Museum of Art in collaboration with Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. This exhibition is made possible by generous support from American Express, Georgia-Pacific, the Henry Luce Foundation, the Terra Foundation for American Art, and the Friends of Hale Woodruff. The conservation of the murals is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse C. Crawford.
High Museum of ArtFounded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, the High Museum of Art is the leading art museum in the southeastern U.S. With more than 12,000 works of art in its permanent collection, the High Museum of Art has an extensive anthology of 19th and 20th century American and decorative art; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, photography and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists and is distinguished as the only major museum in North America to have a curatorial department specifically devoted to the field of folk and self-taught art. The High's media arts department produces acclaimed annual film series and festivals of foreign, independent and classic cinema. In November 2005, the High opened three new buildings by architect Renzo Piano that more than doubled the Museum's size, creating a vibrant "village for the arts" at the Woodruff Arts Center in midtown Atlanta. For more information about the High visit www.High.org.
The Woodruff Arts CenterThe Woodruff Arts Center is ranked among the top four arts centers in the nation. The Woodruff is unique in that it combines four visual and performing arts divisions on one campus as one not-for-profit organization. Opened in 1968, the Woodruff Arts Center is home to the Alliance Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the High Museum of Art and Young Audiences.
