Performers Give Excellent Presents,
tlon of Sheridan's "The Rivals"
. In the Face of Many
Yesterday afternoon Rt the Belasco
theater the winter graduating class of
the Log Angeles high school entertained
themselves nnd their friends by a satis
factory production of Sheridan's fam
ous comedy, "The lllvals." Kvery
seat In the auditorium was occupied.
Although from the theatrical point of
view the entertainment was a decided
success, the class spirit was a rampant
feature which brought the audience
Into Rlmost as much prominence as the
Tim usual talent possessed by these
clever amateurs was placed at consid
erable disadvantage In order that the
class should derive Its full measure of
enjoyment from the afternoon's festlyj
tles. To the schoolmates in the audi
ence It was always Kdgar K. Brown
and not ' Sir Anthony Absolute on the
stage. It was not Sir Lucius O'Trlg
ger who kissed Lucy but John J. Mc-
Lellan who kissed Clara Burrltt, and It
was one of the surprising occasions for
great hilarity on the part of the audi
Under the circumstances the actors
dfd surprisingly well. The role of Sir
Anthony Absolute, the fiery Irnsclble
old English gentleman, was ably inter
preted by Edgar Brown In a manner
showing careful study and thorough
training. Lester Hlbbard as Captain
Jack Absolute handled a most difficult
role in an easy and able style.
Burgo Purcell gave an excellent ren
dering of the lines of Bob Acres and
apart from evident nervousness was
thoroughly at home In the character.
David, Fag and Thomas were well
handled by Fred Hodson, John D.
Holmes and Andrew Peterson respec
Miss Ethel Davenport as Mrs. Mala
prop won much merited applause by
her naturalness and graceful work.
Miss Clarice Merrill made a most
favorable Impression in the part of
Lydla Languish and Miss Una Burritt
rendered | Lucy in a pleaßlng and sin
cere manner. '.- ';' : .- ' t*-\ '
■Miss Alma Dodge and Mendel SUber
berg gave most artistic portrayals o£
their roles, ■ although they found love
making an arduous task before an
audience which refused to consider
them as Julia and Falkland.
The play was not given In the acting
version, but ; from the original text: ln
five acts and twelve scenes:' Preceding
the play a class address was delivered
by Henry Goodwin and the class song
was sung at the close of the perform
ance.' In the evening the young men
of the class entertained the young
women with a banquet at Levy's.

Claims That Allowances Were Fixed
and That Question of Actual
Expense Incurred Is
By Associated Prem»,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.— Throilffh
Ms counsel Judge Bwnyne today made
formal response In the senate to the
articles of Impeachment voted by the
house of representatives. The answer
was a formidable document In point of
size. Kach of the 12 articles of Im
peachment were answered at length.
In every cane the fact charged was
admitted, but explained from Jiklro
Swayne's point of view and, In addi
tion, It was contended that, even if the
conditions were true, as charged, they
were not of a character to Justify pro
ceedings for Impeachment for "high
crimes and misdemeanor."
At 12:30 the senate resolved Itself
Into an Impeachment court for the con
tinuation of the trial. The order, for
the day Included only the answer of
Judge Swayne to the accusations oC
the house, and this wus, presented by
ex-Senators Hlgglns and Thurston on
behalf of thei respondent, who failed
to appear In person. The galleries were
Senator Thurston read Judge
Swayne's answer, a typewritten docu
ment of fifty-five pages. He took up
the specifications of the charges In de
tail, contending that they were not
such as should be taken cognizance of
by the senate. Taking up first the
charge of receiving $10 a day for ex
penses not so great, he admitted the
receipt of the money as charged, but
dented that his conduct in this respect
was contrary to law, as the allowance
of $10 a day was intended to be a fixed
and definite allowance for Judges when
holding court outside their districts.
Judge Swayne said that other Judges
generally have drawn the full amount
of $10 a day, and that up to the begin
ning of the present proceeding he had
not received any intimation from the
auditing officer of the treasury depart
ment or from others that his course in
accepting the full amount allowed was
contrary either to law or to custom.
The charge that Judge Swayne had
appropriated to his own use a railway
car of the Jacksonville, Tampa & Key
West Railway company was denied.
Judge Swayne admitted the use of the
car, but said that it was occupied by
himself 'and friends 1n going from
Delaware to Florida on invitation^ of
the receiver of the road. . . . '
Impeachment Unjustifiable
Judge Swayne also denied that he
failed to establish a residence in his
district in Florida. He admitted fre
quent absences on account of visits to
his family, the holding of court else
where and absence because of a tour
in Europe, but contended that there
has been no offense in this respect of
a character to Justify impeachment
for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The charge of comlttlng E. T. Davis
to Jail for contempt he admitted, but
justified it as a public duty. With ref
erence to the charge that he had pre
sided in a suit relating to' real estate
In Florida In which he was interested,
Judge Swayne denied the holding of
such interest. He attributed this
charge to a conspiracy on the part of
three lawyers in the case, for the pur
pose of securing delay and thwarting
Justice. He also admitted fining and
ordering to prison Attorneys Samuel
Belden and E. T. Davis on the charge
of contempt for their conduct toward
him In the real estate case, and said
his conduct in that matter was Justi
fiable, which was shown by the fact
that the sentence was affirmed by
Judge Pardee of the United States cir-
cuit court.
Judge Swayne also Justified his con
duct in punishing W. C. O'Neal, say
ing that his course in this case had
been due to the fact that O'Neal had
made a murderous assault on a trus
tee In bankruptcy ' appointed by Judge
Swayne. The reading of the answer
occupied about two hours. February
9 was fixed as the time when all pre
liminary pleadings shall be presented
and February 10 as the date of the be
ginning of the regular trial. The sen
ate then resumed legislative business
and the statehood bill was taken up.

of the heaviest downpour* of rain of
the day. The erugadern thronged the
streets from curb to curb and In their
Btrugßle to galrr entrance to the the
ater they were met by an enormous
crowd of people whom the police and
theater Attaches were endeavoring to
force from the protection of the build*
The meeting of these two streams of
humanity resulted In a scene of con
funlon unique In the history of Los
Angelcn. The shouts of policemen
and hack drivers, the scoffs of the
RRcrellglous and the entreaties of the
evangelists were mingled with the
noise of the driving rain and the music
of the singing crusaders formed a dls
cordnnt babel.
Once Inside every seat on the lower
floor and balcony was quickly taken
nnd standing room was at a premium.
Before the great gathering had ad
justed itself Chas. Allen stepped to the
front of the platform and started the
hymn "Beautiful Mver." It was taken
up at once by nearly every voice I ti
the auditorium.
Thanks God for Success
When the last notes of the hymn
died away the lender of the campaign,
J, Wilbur Chapman, 'said: "It seems
to me that this Is a remarkable thing
to have this house crowded on such
a stormy night. I thank God for it.
"We havo come here to prove to you
that we are not Indifferent to the con
dition of the souls of our brothers." .
Seated on the platform with the
evangelists were some of the most
prominent ministers of Los Angeles and
Dr. Chapman asked them, to express
in three . sentences what they thought
of the meeting. .
"This is the most wonderful night
I have ever seen. I did not know that
there was anything under the blue sky
of God which could bring men out like
this did."
"You men are here at the call of
the heroic and the religion of Jesus
Christ has an' element of the heroic."
"I think that this is one of the most
remarkable chances for men to accept
Christ that I have ever seen."
"We have demonstrated to Los An
geles that Christianity is not dead but

tion of Evangelist W. E. Biederwolf.
took occasion to thank the management
of the theater for making; the meeting
possible at that place and also the
members of the Salvation Army, Vol
unteers of America and Rescue Mission
for their assistance In the work. .'
Evangelist Biederwolf began by say
ing that although he had several times
quoted appropriately the little rhyme
which runs:
"No pelting rain can make us stay
When we have tickets to the play,
But let one drop the walk besmirch,
And It's too late to go to church."
But that the verse had no place in
Los Angeles, continued the speaker.
The great gathering which was before
him was a- grander testimonial to the
religion of Christ than any^ ever given
before in Los Angeles. ' - .
"There Is one thing," said the evan
gelist, "for which I am more thankful
than all else In the world — that I am a
Christian man. I know something
about sin, my brothers. I have seen
il in all Its colors and' I know that
Jesus Christ can break the chains that
bind one to it.
"Look back in your own experiences.
Some time you have given yourself to
some sin. You may have turned away
from that sin later, but you have been
without peace all these years because
you have not come to God for forgive
ness for that sin.
Can Break Chain
"Or that sin may have you even now
In its grip. But God can break the
chain and give you victory, if you will
only come to him.
"You expect to some day become a
Christian. Even the heathen wants to
die the death of the blessed. Come to
God tonight and let Him speak forgive
ness for your sins.'"
In answer jto the question of how
many In the theater were now Christ
ians, over two-thirds of the hands
were raised. Then the speaker asked
that a few respond to the question,
"What one thing most influenced you
to come to Christ? I .' Among the an
swers were: "Mother's prayer," Francis
Murphy, "Christian sympathy," "God's
answer to prayer."
"Can you look up to your mother's
God?" demanded the speaker of the
audience, "and say. Lord God, I know
that I have sinned and I want God's
pardon and I want God's mercy."
He called for those who desired tn
do this to raise their hands, and people
responded from every part of the
Voice From Gallery
A man In the top gallery raised his
hand and called out for fear he would
be overlooked. The speaker invited
him to come down to. the platform If
he were in earnest.
"I am In earnest!" was the answer
shouted back and two minutes later
he was shaking the hand of Evangelist
Biederwolf. A Mexican knelt in. the
aisle where he had been standing dur
ing the services and commenced pray
ing. A crowd of people pressed for
ward and others were brought forward
by enthusiastic revivalists.
The scene became one intensely

swayed . this Immense audience, tense
with religious enthusiasm, with ».
power and ease that could only come
of long experience. He directed the
singing, which was almost continuous,
spoke comforting words to those who
had come forward; pressed to his
kneera In prayer the man who had
come from the gallery and Insisted .>n
telling his past sins and continually
•hook hands with those who pressed
around him..
Because of the lateness of the hour
the meeting was brought to rather i
sudden close and the Immense audience
filed out of the theater with enthus
iasm In their hearts, singing hymns
and apparently utterly disregarding
the rain which was falling In torrents.
Day of Prayer and Exhortation Pre>
cedes Midnight Service
All for the midnight meeting. This
was the spirit that prevailed In evan
gelistic circles yesterday, and every
Christian worker In the city was doing
his utmost to make this feature of the
work a success.
Everything made way for this meet-
Ing. Speakers and ministers talked
about It and all united In praying that
the outcome might be all that was
hoped for. Thirty homes were opened
to neighbors for prayer meetings, at 9
o'clock In the morning and in every
instance the attendance was large.
At the noon meeting the subject was
spoken of and again at the big union
meeting in the afternoon when all the
districts assembled at Temple auditor
ium to listen .to Rev. W. E. Bieder
The eastern . evangelists seemed to
have instilled , into the Callfornlans
some of their disregard for "wind and
weather," for the rain seemed to have
no effect on the size of the audiences
at the meetings.
Dr. Biederwolf was greeted by an
audience very little smaller than the
one which greeted Dr. Chapman on the
previous night and at: the evening
meetings conditions were the same.
Yesterday was the : first time that
Dr. Biederwolf had been heard at • a
union meeting, his district including
only the churches in the vicinity of the
university. ,"...' , :
Downfall of Lot
The rise and downfall of Lot was the
story told by the speaker and in many
Instances he pictured Lot as if he were
living in the modern day. He likened
him to the man of the twentieth cen
tury who is seeking to make himself
rich and ■ powerful and forgetting his
relation to . God and his duty to • his
fellow man.
"It 'does not pay to try to serve God
and the world at the same time, for
you cannot doit," sald'the speaker.'
Dr. Biederwolf told of the separation
of Lot and Abraham and of the choice
of Lot.' He pictured the city of lux
ury and. sin lying at one side and the
fertile valleys | and fields of the river
Jordan stretching out before the man
who had the choice to make. . * '. ■
"Lot's testing time came," he con
"He made the great mistake, of his
life. He parted from Abraham. The
pitiless • curse of fortune making had
taken possession , of him and they
parted. •;.'*; ' ■
"The testing time came. Lot's bold
unblushing, selfseeklng character re
veals Itself. Visions of wealth passed
before his •eyes. : Shrewd, keen calcu
lating Lot': sacrificed his friendship for
wealth and "this was the beginning of
his fall. '
"Pitching your tent toward a place
generally leads you to that place. Lot
had riches heaped t upon ■ him, he re
ceived the coveted political honors, and
success crowned all his efforts.
Shrewd Citizen
' "He was • not a member of any
syndicate, he did not belong to the
Standard OH trust and we do not hear
of him giving conscience money to
endow a religious institution, and yet
he was probably known as a shrewd
citizen. Nothing was too high priced
for the Lot family. I have no doubt
that if they were living at the present
time Mrs. Lot and her four daughters
would move among the elite.
"Lot would spend his afternoons at
Ascot park, have a box at. the theater
and spend the rest of the time in play
ing euchre and Indulging in such other
forms of pleasure. •
"Lot would undoubtedly enjoy being
called 'your honor" and having a brass
name plate .on the j door— third floor,
take the elevator— and all that. . ,

pool we find that he was drawn' down

How much do you/would you spend on bras? UPDATE Update #2
I had some extra money and decided to get some bras, I have been wearing sport bras forever basically so I went to Victoria Secret to look and get sized bc I didn't even know my size, shameless I know...anyways my best friend/sister was w me and she told me lane Bryant has bras buy 2 get 2 so we went there and I ended up spending 80 on 4 bras, is that good...I feel like it is the are nice and comfy, and boy can I tell a difference and dh likes which is a plus also...
so would you spend that much or just do the Cheaper ones from like walmart
oh and vs had me sized wrong anyways so I'm glad I went to lane Bryant6
Update: I also went w lane bc I like more coverage and I felt like vs I was popping out too much
Update #2...I never knew a bra post would get so many responses, anyways I dont think there is anything wrong w buying cheaper bras, I normally just bought sport bras at walmart you know the ones that are like 2 for 20 or 2 for 10 I cant remember last time i even bought sport bras were before my dd#2 was born and she is a year now ... My friend told me these bras i bought should last me about 2 years before they start to fall apart, we shall see, she said the ones she bought from lane lasted her that long
To get 3 for $18 (normally $25+ each) at fashion bug because they are going out of business.
I guess this question pertains to the busty women? lol I am an A and I don't and won't ever spend more than 20$ on a bra.. when I need to wear one. eh*
Quoting lapcounter:
I only buy my bras at VS,.$65.
Quoting rockabillybetty:
That's neat. I don't have a FB. But i also have a newborn and rather buy pampers lol
Quoting cherib82:
They posted on fb its but one get one half off
Quoting rockabillybetty:
I have no idea but i would love some Victoria secret bra's..soon enough :) then i can shop at Sephora again!!!!
I used to buy mine at VS, but the last few I ordered were all labeled as the same size but were definitely NOT the same size. Their sizing is inconsistent. So I've been buying them at Walmart but those are crap for quality so I need to find a new source. My size, 40D is really hard to find though, so I've been looking for a long time.
Quoting babygurl6162008:
Wow im looking at some of these replys ive never spent over 10 on a bra

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, 100 young people in Lima, Peru, made a promise to the Blessed Mother to live in chastity while they discern the state of life to which they are called.
The young people, ranging in age from 17 to 25, will be the leaders of a campaign encouraging young people to practice chastity while they discern their vocation, whether to marriage, priestly or religious life.
According to the promoters of the campaign, inspired by the successful "Pure by Choice" program launched last year in Colorado, "the young people were encouraged to make the commitment during preparation for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation."
The young people participated in a series of retreats which focused on purity as a lifestyle choice that leads to happiness and is a means to achieving complete fulfillment in their lives.
During the ceremony which was led by Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani of Lima, more than 200 religious also renewed their vows.

Mapping China's Trade with Sub Saharan, Africa: A Financing Mechanism
Attempt has been made to examine China's trade with sub-Saharan countries and its impact on African's development as a financing mechanism. To achieve this main objective a systematic literature review is carried out. Literature review reveals that China's financing in Africa is based on bilateral cooperation. China's aid makes the African continent more attractive: Firstly because like any other western agencies China's aid does not impose political and economically conditional requirements. Secondly China is investing in the areas because western aid-giving agencies and private investors have since long neglected to provide this region with like physical infra-structure, industry and agriculture. In 2006, China formulated its African Policy Paper, wherein China-Africa bilateral cooperation was focused on: (i) political and economical development, which covers high level visits for trade, investment, finance and natural resources, (ii) human resource developments with focus on education, science, and technology, and (iii) peace and security focusing on military, and conflict settlement. Africa represents an enormous market and urgently needs infrastructure development, which is one of it's main concentrated objective in aid relations. As a result, their relation is expected to achieve lasting impact on the continent's development and would transform the commercial engagement between the region and the Asian economic giant.

Twenty years later — yes, twenty years later — Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are back in the movie that will change the way you view your life. By which I mean, it'll make you glad you're not Jim Carrey or Jeff Daniels' character, cause these are two dumb S.O.B.s. But that's what makes them so lovable, right? I guess it's true for comedians as well as action heroes — when your career flounders, just go back to making sequels to your old hits.
By the way, how many humping visual gags can you toss into a movie? If this trailer for "Dumb and Dumber To" is any indication, the answer is a hell of a lot, apparently.
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprise their signature roles as Lloyd and Harry in the sequel to the smash hit that took the physical comedy and kicked it in the nuts: Dumb and Dumber To. The original film's directors, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, take Lloyd and Harry on a road trip to find a child Harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever, ever be given.
Starring Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Kathleen Turner, Laurie Holden, Rob Riggle, Rachel Melvin, and Steve Tom.
The boys are back this November 14th.

Wide receiver Devon Allen (Phoenix/Brophy Prep) released a top-15 list in early July, but that group is beginning to narrow as the 6-foot, 187-pound speedster focuses on fall visits and finalists.
Allen did plenty of traveling and research this summer as he visited several Pac-12 and Big Ten campuses. But his first official visit will be to an SEC program, as Arkansas will host Allen on Sept. 14. It is the only trip Allen has firmly scheduled, but official visits to Notre Dame on Sept. 21 and Texas on Oct. 5 are also possibilities. With so many programs in the mix, Allen will eventually settle on five official visits, but that likely won't be the end of his travels before signing day, as several unofficial visits could take place as well.
"I would like to visit Washington, UCLA and Ohio State hopefully as well," he said. "I've been to Ohio State and Notre Dame already, so I'm not sure which one I'll go visit again. I'll have to decide. Notre Dame is showing me a lot of interest."
Allen tossed in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State as schools he is looking at as well, but made special mention of Stanford.
"They are definitely in my top three," Allen said of the Cardinal. "But because I've been there three times, I don't think I need to take an official anymore. That's a quick flight or drive."
Allen said some schools have approached him about coming in on a track scholarship, but he said he won't go that route. However, Allen, who runs the 110-meter hurdles in 13.52 seconds, 300-meter hurdles in 36.36 seconds and placed third in the 110 hurdles at the USA Junior Outdoor Championships this summer, will definitely run track at the next level, and it is part of his football recruiting process.
Though he has plenty of programs to sift through, Allen doesn't want to drag his decision toward signing day. With track season picking up so quickly after the calendar flips, Allen wants to take advantage of the small down time after his football season ends.
"That will give me some time to go around and see places," he said. "If I could get it done before track season, that would be great. That way I'm not distracted during that time and I can have fun with my senior track season."
In addition to the football and track programs, Allen has a pretty clear thought on what he is looking for in a fit at the next level.
"It's mostly the feel," he said. "The coaches, the players, the people around you and the whole campus -- the buildings, campus life, the food and the places you can hang around -- because I'll be spending a lot of time there. Academics are big to me as well."
Allen and Brophy Prep got their season off to a positive start on Wednesday night, as the receiver hauled in touchdown passes of 64 and 70 yards on his way to 199 yards receiving in a big win.

As countless people across Hampshire and the UK deal with the flooding that is causing so many problems, it is worth remembering that it is an issue that has long blighted countless communities.
The places worst affected today may not be the places scooping water out of their homes tomorrow - and as these photos show, there are few places in Hampshire that have not had to deal with flooding over the last 100 years or so.
1. Western Esplanade, Southampton, 1912
Until the 1930s, Western Esplanade was Southampton's seafront. The photo above was taken on Boxing Day 1912. The building on the left is the site of today's coach station.
2. Cooper's Arms, Millbank Street, Northam, Southampton, 1912
These two photos are both from Boxing Day 1912. The Northam and Chapel areas of Southampton were prone to severe flooding at the time, being so close to the River Itchen. Although most of the area was cleared away as part of the slum clearances, the Cooper's Arms is still there today. It recently was renamed to The Joshua Tree.
3. Leigh Road, Eastleigh, 1947
Two shots of Leigh Road in Eastleigh during the floods of 1947, including one of a Southern Daily Echo van trying its best to make sure the people of the town get their news.
4. Totton, 1960
This shows householder being rescued from their homes. This was taken at the western end of Rumbridge Street, adjacent to the carpark near Spicers Hill Roundabout, according to one of our readers below.
5. Fleming Arms, Swaythling, 1960
In this photo from 1960, Monks Brook has swollen up and water spills forth from the drains as cars try and navigate their way through.
6. Archers Road, 1974
It could be argued that these are more puddles than flooding, but at least there is a police officer getting his hands dirty trying to alleviate the problem at the rear of the Archers Road Stand at The Dell.
7. Weston Shore, 1976
In a year best known for its hot, dry summer, 1976 also gave a bit of a soaking. Here Southampton water breaches the beach and floods the road - just as it did a few weeks ago in the exact same spot.
It doesn't matter which year it is, but kids will always been drawn to water, as these photos from Hedge End in 1981 show.
8. Lymington, 1983
There are a variety of ways to get around flood-stricken towns, rowing a bench may not be the best of them, however.
9. Lymington, 1989
Six years later, and Lymington is hit again by flooding.
10. Millbrook Road, Southampton, 1993
Like Western Esplanade, Millbrook Road used to stretch along the old shoreline, until the construction of the Western Docks. The reclaimation didn't mean a stop to the flooding however as this 1993 photo shows. In fact, the exact same stretch of road flooded just last year.

Advertising History
A bar of Safeguard soap
In the 1960s and 1970s, Safeguard went by the informational-toned slogan of "A Soap For The Entire Family". However, their 1980s "The Smallest Soap in the House" ad campaign would be their most memorable, as it included ads of people complaining of thru excessive use their Safeguard bars getting smaller and smaller, and the ending of each commercial featuring a brand-new Safeguard bar in soap suds that, using stop-motion animation, shrinks down to about 80% used up just before the voice-over says "The smallest soap in the house".

Let's get this out of the way — technical analysis is not sorcery. But a thoughtful application of seemingly arcane TA principles can help you navigate a murky market. First, though, you need to know what to watch.
Click to EnlargeYesterday the S&P 500 closed right near its 200-day simple moving average. The closing print for the S&P 500 was 1377.51, and the 200-day sma closed at 1380.71. As we are once again at this crucial support for the S&P 500, I wanted to take a moment to discuss when big such technical indicators are worth watching — and how to manage a position around them.
I often ask myself whether technical analysis works because traders are all looking at the same indicators, resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy, or whether the indicator actually reveals some underlying truth about the mechanics of the market. Ultimately, it doesn't matter — it works. And we can dramatically improve our results if we know which indicator to apply to which index or stock.
In the case of the S&P 500, the 200-day sma has a strong tendency to act as support or resistance, so it's worth paying attention to.
Click to EnlargeThe two charts at right are of the S&P 500 (SPX) and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX), both marked with their respective 200-day simple moving averages. If you look at the trading action each time the index gets near the moving average you will note how much choppier the Nasdaq 100 reacts. In other words, the NDX shows significantly less respect to its 200-day sma than the S&P 500 does.
And that leads me to the main point — technical indicators are not created equal for all stocks. Every stock or index has its own characteristic, and we have to figure out which indicators work best for the stocks we follow. This applies to moving averages, momentum oscillators, trendlines and many more technical indicators.
Click to EnlargeBack to our current example of the S&P 500 and its 200-day simple moving average. How does one manage a position around such a crucial level without getting stopped out at exactly the wrong time? The indicator has a good track record of acting as support or resistance, but we need to consider the risk of a little overshooting past the moving average that stops out investors with weak hands before reversing right back away from the 200-day sma. To avoid that unpleasant result, keep your stop orders a bit below the indicator in question.
Even if you're not technically inclined, it's useful to keep an eye on the big indicators — if nothing else, it's useful to know what other traders are watching for. And if you match up your index with the right metric, you'll be ahead of the game.

The author of the infamous ransomware virus has finally been identified. The virus began hitting computers in July and used a Trojan called Delf.ctk which encrypted all the files on the infected computer, rendering them inaccessible, then demanded victims call a 900 number and pay $35 to get them back. The payment processor used is also used by various porn sites.
The author is believed to be a Russian national, and security experts think he's probably behind similar ransomware attacks on 2006 and 2007. The latter demanded $300, so this new attack was somewhat of a bargain. Sources close to the authorities investigating the hacker say he also tried to profit from his malware by attempting to sell a tool that will restore access to files on infected computers to at least one security company.
Security experts tracked down the author by resolving the proxied IPs used in the attacks to their real addresses, which turned out to be zombie computers. Locating the owners of those zombie systems proved difficult when Yahoo refused to cooperate. Foreign police have been notified, however, and appear to be continuing the investigation.

The Globe's Real Estate Beat offers news and analysis on the Canadian housing market from real estate reporter Tara Perkins. Read more on The Globe's housing page and follow Tara on Twitter @TaraPerkins.
Canada's largest banks, as a whole, have seen almost no growth in their insured mortgage portfolios recently, Macquarie Capital Markets analyst Asim Imran discovered.
He found this out by digging through some data that the banking regulator – the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions – gathers.
The growth that banks have shown in their mortgage portfolios of late has come from a strong uptick in uninsured mortgages, he concluded. Chartered banks saw uninsured mortgages rise 13.5 per cent year over year in May (for the Big Six banks it was 12 per cent). Insured mortgages, in contrast, were down 0.8 per cent month over month, and up just 0.1 per cent year over year.
(Note: This data are for the banks' total mortgage portfolios – including mortgages that are maturing – not just sales of new mortgages.)
I ran this by some mortgage executives at the big banks, and the extent of this trend was news to them.
Mortgage insurance is mandatory in Canada when a federally-regulated lender sells a mortgage to someone who doesn't have a down payment of at least 20 per cent. The insurance pays the bank back if the borrower defaults. Banks can also buy portfolio, or bulk, insurance to insure swaths of mortgages that weren't previously insured.
Based on my discussions, there appears to be a few factors behind the stagnant growth in insured mortgages: (1) the biggest issue is that the federal government has cracked down on the banks' ability to buy bulk, or portfolio, insurance; (2) banks have become more cautious in their lending, and non-federally regulated lenders are increasingly gaining mortgage business that once would have gone to the banks; (3) consumers are saving up larger down payments.
Banks started buying a lot more portfolio insurance during the financial crisis, because insuring mortgages made it easier to package them into securities or bonds that the banks used to fund more mortgages. Once the crisis ended, banks continued to buy large amounts of portfolio insurance because doing so reduced the amount of capital that regulators required them to hold (because insuring the mortgages reduces the banks' risks).
In last year's federal budget, former finance minister Jim Flaherty restricted banks' ability to buy portfolio insurance to reduce their capital requirements, and put in place a plan to gradually limit the insurance of low-ratio mortgages (those with a down payment of more than 20 per cent) to only those that will be used in CMHC securitization programs.
CMHC has since raised the price of its portfolio insurance, and this year it rationed the amount that banks can buy to $360-million per lender. That is a reduction from the amounts that the country's largest banks historically bought, while it gives some smaller lenders more access to portfolio insurance. In total, CMHC will sell up to $9-billion worth of portfolio insurance this year, down from $11-billion last year.
Industry players say sales of insured mortgages have picked up in recent months. CMHC's biggest rival, Genworth Canada, recently said it wrote $5.4-billion worth of new insurance on high loan-to-value mortgages during the second quarter, up 13 per cent from a year earlier and up 75 per cent from the prior quarter, due to strength in the general housing market as well as market share gains.Report Typo/Error

Feeling Stressed Out? You Are Definitely Not Alone.
Last week I treated for an ulcer. An ulcer? Me? I try to be incredibly laid back and not let things bother me. I used to say, "I strive on stress." Now I try to avoid it. Sometimes though, it's unavoidable. A new study shows that the average person gets "stressed out" 14 times a day and a lot of us are stressed out before we even get out of bed!
What stresses us out the most? It might surprise you. Take a look at the Top 10 Things That Stress Us Out The Most HERE.

Niagara Falls police searching for gunman who shot out store window
NIAGARA FALLS – A gunman wearing a bandana over his face fired off four shots just before 3 p.m. Tuesday and shattered a store window at LOEG at 2908 Pine Avenue, Niagara Falls police said. He was still being sought by this morning.
The brother of the store owner told police that he heard pops and the front glass door shattered. Police said they tried to further question the victim, but he was uncooperative and tried to walk away. The man said he had been watching the store for his brother and had been in close proximity to the front window when he heard the shots.
However several witnesses on the busy street were able to help police and detectives at the scene, providing an eyewitness account of a single gunman who left the scene in a black sedan and headed north on 29th Street.
According to several witnesses a black man wearing dark clothing, a blue bandana across his face and a black hat, came from around the southeast corner at 29th Street and Pine Avenue. They said he walked up the south side of the street and then leaned across the hood of a white pickup truck, which was parked across the street from the store and then shot at the store, using a handgun. He then ran back to the black car and drove off.
The case remained under investigation today.

Director sought for 'Grease'
Director wanted. Must be ready to produce 'Grease' to a high standard in Coláiste Bríde next Easter.
Enniscorthy Musical Society is advertising with fellow societies on the musical circuit and with drama groups all over County Wexford and beyond. Chairwoman Jennifer Byrne and her committee are looking for someone to take charge of the show made famous on the big screen by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.
With Ray Quigley, who has been in command most years since 1992, unavailable the call has gone out to find a replacement for the big man from Oylegate. The new recruit should have his/her application in by the deadline of Friday, November 15 and the chairwoman is optimistic that there will be plenty of names in the hat.
'We have been told that there is a lot of interest,' she commented. 'There are a few directors in the area who travel around.' She expressed delight at the fact that Enniscorthy MS has been able to secure the rights to present 'Grease' after trans-Atlantic negotiations with agents on Broadway in New York.
Just two other Irish productions of the show about the lives and loves of students at the fiction Rydell High School are due on stage this year - in Portlaoise and Athlone.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 468526
grub ignoring timeout and hiddenmenu settings if using chainloader
Last modified: 2014-06-18 03:38:14 EDT
Created attachment 321514 [details]
Grub is ignoring the timeout and hiddenmenu settings in grub.conf. When booting the menu pops up immediately and just sits there until an entry to boot is selected.
$ rpm -q grub
...let me know if other info is needed.
When I downgraned to grub-0.97-33.fc9.x86_64, the timeout started to work again. Looking at the changelog between the two, the 36 release adds the following:
* Thu Oct 23 2008 Peter Jones <email@example.com> - 0.97-36
- Add force-chainloader patch from rstrode (rhbz #458576)
* Wed Oct 08 2008 Peter Jones <email@example.com> - 0.97-35
- Add dep on newer gnu-efi.
* Thu Jun 26 2008 Peter Jones <email@example.com> - 0.97-34
- Add keystatus patch from krh.
Of those patches, I highly suspect the keystatus patch, but I have not tried to revert it and rebuild grub.
I was able to get it to work by reverting to -35, so I'm more suspicious of the force-chainloader patch. From a quick look at the patch there it looks like it mucks with the timeout settings so I think that's probably where the breakage is.
cc'ing Ray since he did the patch there...
I can confirm that after reverting the last chainloader-timout patch, the timeout started to work again.
hmm, it sounds like grub thinks you have an entry with a chainloader line in it, so then:
+ if (builtin->flags & BUILTIN_SHOW_CHAIN_MENU)
+ {
+ show_menu = 1;
+ grub_timeout = grub_chaintimeout;
+ }
runs and since you don't define a chaintimeout it sits indefinitely.
Hmm, I can't reproduce this bug with the grub.conf from attachment 321514 [details] .
Lubomir, can you attach your grub.conf?
Can both of you guys try adding
and see if that make the menu go away in 5 seconds?
Yes. I have a chainloader entry, and adding chaintimeout works around this problem.
So now, in addition to "timeout" we have "chaintimeout"? That seems very confusing. IMO, a better solution would be to have a new grub option that makes grub skip displaying the menu (maybe just a new option for "hiddenmenu"?).
I'm not sure what the best solution here is, but this is going to be confusing for anyone who dual boots.
Hi Jeff,
If you have a chainloader entry then you're getting the expected behavior.
See bug 458576 for details.
Lubomir, do you also have a chainloader entry?
Fair enough. I suppose it's your call, but for the record...
It doesn't make much sense to me to have different behavior for the menu based on whether there is a chainloader entry. I think this will be confusing for users. It seems like there may be better ways to make not displaying the menu be default behavior but to still allow the timeout config option to work as it traditionally has...
i'm open to ideas. What we want by default is:
1) Users with windows to always get a menu for 30 seconds or so
2) Users without windows to not see anything at all unless they hold down a key

grub.conf with timeout that doesn't work with the chainloader-timeout patch
> Lubomir, do you also have a chainloader entry?
No, I don't. See the attached grub.conf...
> No, I don't. See the attached grub.conf...
Duh. I saw "chainloader entry" but read "chainloader timeout"... So let's try again: yes, I do have a chaniloader entry in grub.conf :-)
> i'm open to ideas. What we want by default is:
> 1) Users with windows to always get a menu for 30 seconds or so
> 2) Users without windows to not see anything at all unless they hold down a key
First, a question...
Is there any mode-switch performance penalty to printing the "Press esc for menu..." lines from hiddenmenu if you use the default text mode to print them. i.e. you could only switch to a splashimage screen when you go to display the menu.
If there is a penalty here, then my suggestion would be to back out the chaintimeout patch and change the behavior of hiddenmenu. Rather than have it print out "Press esc for menu..." line, just have it not print anything at all, and maybe change it to display the menu when you hit any key and not just esc.
When you go to set up grub from the installer, enable "hiddenmenu" for any grub config that doesn't have a chainloader entry. If someone adds one later, it's their responsibility to disable "hiddenmenu".
Another idea might be to instead add new options to hiddenmenu. Something like:
hiddenmenu --invisible --anykey
...that makes the "Press esc key..." line not be printed and allows any key to break into the menu. Then just set up grub.conf with that when there isn't a chainloader entry defined.
This approach seems more intuitive to me. As long as we set up grub.conf for the desired behavior at install time, I see no problem with placing the burden of later configuration on whoever is editing the grub.conf.
We have to also look at this another way -- there's nothing really special about chainloader entries. It's possible to have other entries that use grub's "normal" boot method and we want to allow people to be able to access them. We even ship at least one of them -- memtest86+.

I like this approach and I also think that the fact that a user has a chainloader entry has nothing to do with grub -- grub should provide the means, and the installer should set the policy. Changing default grub behavior if there is a chainloader entry is IMO step in the wrong direction. There is only one menu and there should be only one menu timeout definition.
I would also like the hiddenmenu options :-)
This adds features to grub without burdening them with special cases.
I would like to agree with the suggestions in comment #14.
An extra chainloader timeout is terribly confusing.
So one low impact change we could make (that wwoods suggested) is making
chaintimeout inherit timeout if no chaintimeout is specified.
Whether we do that or something like comment 14 this late in the game, I'm not sure.
Peter, what's your thoughts?
This bug does that headless systems can't boot after upgrade.
I really do think this is something that _must_ be fixed before release.
My system do have a chainloader boot entry. (On some servers that is a must to have in order to be able to access or update firmware and get hardware support.)
I propose the following (untested!) patch. The intention is that chaintimeout only should be used if it has been set in grub.conf. That is almost the same as wwoods "chaintimeout inherit timeout if no chaintimeout is specified" in comment 17, only even more safe and with a minimal and thus low-risk change. The new chainloader-magic does then not silently take action in on existing systems - and IMHO that is essential when new functionality is added to the boot loader.

I have built and tested the change I propose. It works as expected for me.
i'm okay with that type of patch, but it's Peter's call.
FWIW, -1 on this whole scheme. It adds non-intuitive behavior to grub that isn't obviously fixable by just changing grub.conf. It also makes the grub menu behavior dependent on the type of entries that happen to be in grub.conf/
A better solution would be to have the installer build a grub.conf by default that gives you effect you want here (no mode switches), but have existing grub.conf files still work as they always have before.
Jeff, FWIW I agree on the -1. But f10 is close and it is too late to advocate major changes.
The patch I propose do what you request: restores the old behaviour for old grub.confs without chaintimeout, and only new booty-generated with chaintimeout setting will get the new undocumented non-intuitive behaviour ;-)
Again, I would like to support what Jeff proposes - the change clutters grub with context-dependent behavior to achieve something that can be achieved by the installer.
> Jeff, FWIW I agree on the -1. But f10 is close and it is too late to advocate

I can understand that. The problem is that the change was somewhat invisible for long time. Even though I run rawhide all the time, I only update grub (in /boot) only once in a while and suddenly things stopped working.
> The patch I propose do what you request: restores the old behaviour for old

It still adds the chaintimeout stuff to grub, which is unnecessary, and even if better solution (proposed by Jeff) is actually adopted later, the chaintimeout stuff would have to remain in grub for compatibility with earlier installed grubs...
So it's two things now -- your patch gives me back the old behavior, which is fine with me, but doesn't fix cluttering grub with unneeded stuff, which is, well, someone else's call.
Yep, we'll have to live with "chaintimeout" for a long time after this if this patch stays in. Do we really want to carry that in fedora's grub for the forseeable future?
IMO, I think we need to step back a minute. This whole change was made to reduce mode switches at boot time. While that's a laudable goal, an extra mode switch isn't generally fatal.
If time before release is the issue, then I suggest we back these changes out of grub for now. A new solution can be designed for F11 (or sooner possibly). That seems like a better solution to me than what's there today...
Should be fixed in grub-0.97-38.fc10, booty-0.106-1.fc10.
Tagged for final.
The obvious question is: How has it been fixed?
For the record, the changelogs gives the answer:
- Remove chainloader timeout patch; fixing it in booty instead in order to
address rhbz#468526 .
Looks like a good resolution. Thanks!
But ... the change from 105 to 106 has:
def write(self, instRoot, fsset, bl, langs, kernelList, chainList,
defaultDev, justConfig, intf):
+ if self.timeout is None and not chainList:
+ self.timeout = 5
FWIW I don't understand the "not chainList". Why the negation? I would expect a timeout to be enforced if there _is_ anything in chainList?
You're right - the logic was inverted there. New build forthcoming.
Moving to ASSIGNED until we get the fixed package built.
Yep, thanks for double checking that. Fix in 0.107-1 .

grub.conf not respecting timeout setting
my grub-0.97-38.fc10.x86_64 still doesn't respect the timeout correctly. The attached grub.conf has timeout=10, but there is no timeout in the menu, the menu just appears and sits there until I select which entry to run. And if I uncomment the chaintimeout=10, then it immediately runs the first entry, no timeout, no reaction to keypress, the menu just blinks in and out.
So how should I change the conf options so the menu will stay for 10 secs and then will run the first entry?
I just installed Fedora 12 i686 onto this HP Mini 110, and I have exactly the same behavior as already profusely described in this bugzilla:
Timeout not taking effect, hiddenmenu not taking effect, and GRUB boot lists sitting there for ever until a boot option is selected.
The GRUB version I have seen this with is grub-0.97-62.fc12.i686, the strangest thing is that in my main laptop system I also have Fedora 12, only x86_64 instead of i686, same GRUB version and I do not see this happening there... Reading through this I thought of adding the chiantimeout option to the grub.conf, but I'm not sure if it will work.
Also, since this is a netbook, I installed through a LiveUSB rather than using the installation images, which may be why I'm getting this (especially if there has been any changes to Anaconda and how does it configure GRUB). To the best of my knowledge, GRUB is installed onto the MBR, I do NOT have a chainloader option in my grub.conf (as I nuked Windows 7 off this system).

We've been following the progress of UHD for a little while now and so far we like what we've been seeing… especially from NHK. Take look at what we just found out they're up to with 3D.
Since its first demo in 2003, the Super Hi-Vision format (also known as Ultra HD or 8K) has made rapid progress in recent years. Back then, NHK captured 30 minutes of test footage using 16 HDTV recorders; now NHK have miniaturised the technology enough to create an 'over the shoulder' Super Hi-Vision camera. The compact camera (pictured) uses a single-chip colour imaging sensor to produce 33MP video and finally takes Super Hi-Vision capture out of the labs and into the hands of creatives.
NHK will develop a camera control unit to perform signal processing specifically for this head which will enhance image quality and functionality of the camera.
Following Sharp's 85" 8K screen showcased at IBC last year, Panasonic recently revealed a massive 145" 8K screen (the world's largest), which was showcased at NHK's Science and Technology Research Laboratories in Tokyo this month.
NHK have also enabled prototype Super Hi-Vision displays to be multi-touch screen sensitive allowing people to zoom into certain parts of the image up to 16 times still at today's HD standards.
On February 23, 2012, NHK announced that, with Shizuoka University, they had developed an 8K (7680 x 3840) sensor that could shoot video at 120 frames per second meaning scenes filmed in Super Hi-Vision will be ultra smooth.
For those of you who have not seen Super Hi-Vision yet, it really is something to behold. The picture quality is simply jaw-dropping, even leading some to suggest it is 'too clear'. The demo at last year's IBC also proved how efficient the compression has become as a live broadcast was achieved between London and Amsterdam. Super Hi-
Vision is incredibly data intensive so the challenge for the NHK engineers was to compress the stream in a way that was not detrimental to the picture quality.
With a 120fps frame rate , 22.2 sound and a 7680×4320 picture (16 times that of current HD standards), the image quality is obviously stunning but what about 3D – will this replace 3D? Well, NHK believe it could enhance 3D. Many people who have seen Super Hi-Vision say "It almost looks 3D". The reason for this is unknown. However, it is likely to be due to the visual clues the format offers.
If you close one eye, you still see a '3D' image, it is just not a stereoscopic 3D image. This is because there are several factors that your brain uses to process a 3D image. It is thought that, because the image is more akin to a natural view, your brain is more inclined to register the visual clues.
However, this is not to say stereoscopic 3D will be a legacy of a third attempt as NHK are working on a system called Integral 3D, as part of the Super Hi-Vision format. A spatial imaging technology, it promises to provide a heightened sense of presence without the eye strain.
A 3D image is created via an array of small lenses which is set to improve glasses free 3D displays. The lenses bounce the light around in many different directions for each pixel unlike the limited viewpoints offered by existing lenticular displays.
Combined with the super high resolution of 33 million pixels, the image is described as indistinguishable from the real thing by people who have seen integral 3D. It even allows people to move their head and 'look around' objects. There are no sweet spots plus the viewer can see the 3D effect naturally, even at an angle (current 3D displays require the viewer to view the display horizontally).
To capture the image, the scene passes through the micro-lens array which is scanned over 8000 lines by a Super Hi-Vision camera. The image is processed using 'pixel offset' techniques to reduce blurriness. This is reversed on the other side to produce a 3D image via the micro-lens display. The 3D effect can be achieved as the micro-lenses capture so many different viewpoints, in a similar way to how the consumer Lytro camera automatically captures 3D images using light-field technology.

Twenty years ago, I started to hear about the kind of art that eventually became known as Imagism.
Those were the early days, when it seemed as if everybody was talking about it. Something important was happening in Chicago. Or so it was said.
Twenty years ago, I started to hear about the kind of art that eventually became known as Imagism.
Those were the early days, when it seemed as if everybody was talking about it. Something important was happening in Chicago. Or so it was said.
That it never stopped being said-with an insistence unnecessary in the case of fact-is what occasions these thoughts. For today, the Chicago Public Library Cultural Center, Hyde Park Art Center, Renaissance Society, Smart Gallery and Terra Museum of American Art all are giving attention to Imagism in a way that cannot help but make old reactions vivid by bringing back the past.
In 1967, I was a college student who read about more exhibitions than I attended, so my first acquaintance with Imagist art was made through what was written on it, which led to a certain conditioning.
The tone of the writing back then was relentlessly upbeat, as its purpose was to cheerlead. Of course, the words only mirrored desires of the community. And, though I did not think of it, such desires resulted from a long and unpleasant feeling that whatever else Chicago was, in art it was behind New York.
I failed to think of it because of naivete. I also overlooked how the championing of a movement could bring personal gain. In those days, I believed the practicalities of being a critic or an art collector-or both at once-would be outweighed by a principle that took one beyond the self.
Poet and critic Matthew Arnold gave me the principle when he wrote about
``a disinterested endeavor to learn and propagate the best that is known and thought in the world.`` This was Arnold`s definition of criticism, and from the first time I read it, in 1966, it sounded right.
So I was more than a little stunned by the writing on Imagism, which every week set before us a new master, brilliant, unconventional and home grown. We were told that Chicago artists were the equal of artists anywhere;
as time went on, the list of comparisons also ranged throughout history, from Persian miniaturists to Pablo Picasso.
When I came to look at the work, then, I reacted as much to the writing as to whatever the artists had created and was profoundly let down by the paintings in comparison with the prose. All that was claimed on their behalf failed to register truthfully with me. In fact, I had to disregard what had been said and begin again.
My initial feelings about Imagism were expressed in strong terms, disappointment mixing with irritation. But as time went on and I became accustomed to the work-which itself began to show changes in emphasis-I reached a more resigned viewpoint. Sometimes I wished that I could like Imagism; without question, it would have made my life easier. Yet that did not happen. Fourteen years after my first Imagist review, I still do not share the popular opinion.
What I found, so long ago, was that the Imagists were not much concerned about defining or redefining the ``Chicagoness`` of Chicago art. Some of those who are best known-Roger Brown, Art Green, Jim Nutt, Christina Ramberg-were neither born nor reared here. And unless enrollment in the School of the Art Institute was taken as the Chicago experience, Imagist artists did not reflect an essential sense of the city.
In 1972, critic Harold Rosenberg wrote as much, claiming that not one work in the Museum of Contemporary Art`s Imagist exhibition ``had any reference to the visual realities of its point of origin.`` But as I did not come to know that essay until some years later (when it was reprinted in ``Art on the Edge: Creators and Situations``) I felt an absence of place for another reason: I had grown up in the kind of neighborhood the Imagists professed to love.
In that environment, day-to-day existence proceeded more desperately and with deeper feeling than anything the Imagists depicted. Unlike some Chicago artists of earlier generations, they were not interested in getting at the life of a community. They only collected its tribal objects, souvenirs of the thrift shop, tattoo parlor and neighborhood eccentric. They collected them as the Cubists collected African art, with little regard for original function or meaning. Little wonder that a wide range of experience would be out of the picture. When not exalting kitsch, the Imagists merely described superficial appearance, as if quality of existence could be read from skin condition or the grotesqueries of comic books.
I think now of an exhibition catalogue called ``Who Chicago?``-its title a glancing reference to the Hairy Who, one of the most celebrated Imagist groups. Each artist in the exhibition is shown in a photographic portrait, Ed Paschke posing in leather jacket and shades like one of his street dudes, Nutt in British cap and voluminous pleated pants on a golf course. These self-images are curious. Despite their differences, each is a portrait of the artist as a dandy.

Vince Vaughn's Sperm Counts Too High in 'Delivery Man' First Trailer
How would you react to hearing you're miraculously the father of 533 children? Go into panic mode as your jaw drops to the floor? Yep. That sounds just about right– and that's exactly what happens in the first trailer for Vince Vaughn's comedic flick Delivery Man.
Directed and written by Ken Scott, Delivery Man stars Vaughn as mid-age slacker David Wozniak. A mix-up at a fertile clinic two decades ago sends Wozniak into a state of solid shock after he hears that his anonymous donation back in the day somehow led to him becoming the inadvertant father of a slew of children, 533 to be exact. And now 142 of them are filing a lawsuit for Wozniak to disclose his identity. Now that's complicated. But hey, at least Wozniak has a high sperm count to brag about!
As Vaughn grapples with whether or not he should step forward as the father of 533, he develops a sense of guilt, which drives him to act as a guardian angel figure as he lends himself to watch over his 'children'.
While on the brink of heartfelt goop and pure obscurity, Deliver Man catapults Vince Vaughn in the same dull role that he always plays out, but with far less laughs than Wedding Crashers or even The Internship for Pete's sake!
The comedy, which is a remake of Ken Scott's Starbuck from 2011, stars Vince Vaughn alongside Chris Pratt and Cobie Smulders and is set for release on November 22, 2013.

Who says magazine journalism hasn't elevated the discourse of the New York art scene? It was an article in Dazed and Confused ("Smile! It's the Apocalypse," published Winter 2008) focusing on the male, New York-based artists of her generation, that incited Agathe Snow to create an aggresive new body of work about the gendered meanings of order and disorder, and about sucking the life out of a community or a body of work by blowing too hard.
Photo Courtesy of The Fireplace Project.
Installed in Winter 2008 at the Sculpture Center in Long Island City, "The Asshole of NYC: An Attempt at Conversation" marked the first appearance of Snow's wreaths, eight-foot tube frames draped with elaborate ornaments that were, by far, her most compositional sculptural works to date. In the basement of Sculpture Center, Snow posted the "Apocalypse" article on the wall. That article listed the various detritus her peers used in their scrappy, rebellious, masculine artworks; Snow incorporated each of those materials into eight woven wreaths fitted into the dimensions of the Center's long dark hallways, through which visitors had to pass. The first wreath contained 40 vaccuum cleaners, such that viewers were "first sucked into the asshole, and then would go through a tunnel of eight wreath-like sculptures that would seduce you on a path from which you cannot come back." Bullshit goes in, and something else comes out.
In spite of the works' direct satire, Snow was sincere in her attempt to start a conversation. In other bodies of work, Snow has proven herself a very competent mess-maker; here the iteration of materials tosed off in the Dazed article, the attention to detail, and the narrative created by the environmental set-up and the figurative qualities of the sculpture amounted to a substantial argument both for and against the non-compositional assemblage she and her peers had popularized. The wreaths are a pointed question about who was going to clean up the conceptual mess made by other artists' refusal of both formalism authorship,with a simultaneous push for craftsmanship and its political valences. They're also distillation of Snow's famed Downtown dinner parties which were, obviously, parties, but also playful investigations of the pervasive exchange between host and guest.
Curator Sarina Basta discusses Agathe Snow's installation at Sculpture Center
"Terrestrial Forms," a new show at the Fireplace Project in East Hampton is dominated by a continuation of Snow's wreath series (here they're six feet in diameter) that recycles the dangling materials from earlier incarnations. Once again, Snow demands you jump through hoops to take in the visual impact. These "terrestrial forms" emphasize luxury materials and signifiers of femininity like pearls, plastic seashells, and ornaments, and includes small, shiny wrapped gifts that come with the artist's caveat, "It's celebratory, but only if you know what to do with the gifts..."
East Hampton is the great fortress of summer luxury (and Snow's wreaths did look good at Peres Projects' Armory booths!), but for Snow it's also an extension of a yearlong experiment that began when she moved out of New York to spend the last winter in Orient, on the North Fork of Long Island. Snow initially signed on month-to-month, but recently signed a two-year lease on a farm house, amidst corn and sod fields. She says that, "The country has had no creative impact on me yet, I still source myself in the city's havoc," but advises, "I think you'll find it serene... that is if you take my other shows into consideration."
"Total Attitude Workout Video," which was first installed at Jonathan Viners Gallery in London, in February 2008, encourages female Americans to "Sprinkle a little sex" into their lives, and displaces the physical activity of passing through hoops into one of joyful coercion. With a typical flare for puns, Snow says the video is about both "stuffing and packaging." Snow says that this particular installation removes the performance element from her work, although the act of walking and viewing retains that spectacular aspect, even if you can't hula hoop. She's also re-purposed the floor piece from her contribution to the 2008 Whitney Biennial, a 24-hour dance marathon, which is a reflective both document and stage of dances past and future.
The Fireplace Project is located at 851 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton. "Terrestrial Forms" is on view through August 31. In celebration of the mess required to generate Agathe Snow's wreaths, we included some of the artist's unseen installation photos, captured before the exhibition came together, courtesy of The Fireplace Project:
