2008 Chevrolet Equinox - Consumer Review

Reliability Value
Happy with My Equinox
By Sandy Miller on
Vehicle2008 Chevrolet Equinox Sport 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
ReviewI have only had the vehicle one week and so far I am very happy with it. I am impressed with all the features it has for the amount of money it cost. I especially like the automatic start. I am a single woman, and this is a good feature for me. I also like the OnStar feature and hands free telephone. I drive to work every day, a 52 mile round-trip day, so far I am getting approx 21 MPG. I hope to get better as the car breaks in, of course this is a lot better, than what I was getting with my Chevy Avalanche. My friends are very impressed with the looks of the vehicle, inside and out. So far I think I made a good decision to buy an Equinox.
Best FeaturesThe best feature for me is the automatic start and OnStar, hands free telephone.
Worst FeaturesI think you should add a device for opening cargo door, also could use more storage and a better console compartment with a lock. Better mileage is also a plus.

text: Hi, all! I am a long-time lurker, and new poster! My husband, son, and I went to Disneyworld in late 2005 and are finally going back in February. We didn't see Fantasmic the first time because my son was really young. I have booked a reservation for the Fantasmic dining package with Hollywood & Vine, but am wondering if it's a good idea. I know a lot of people don't like the food there, and I am sure my son would like 50's Primetime or Sci-Fi better. Is it that big of a deal to do the dining package as far as Fantasmic seating goes? Can someone explain to me what the difference is in the seating process with the dining package vs. without?

Corrupt Filemaps Folder, no error code
I've just had a balloon pop up saying that the C:\Windows\winsxs\filemaps folder is corrupt, so I took control of the folder so that I could try and find what file in it was corrupted, so when I actually right click on the folder and click on open, it says that the folder is corrupted and unreadable, so if anyone know how to repair or even restore the filemaps folder it would be most appreciated.
|My System Specs
|06 Jan 2012
First, run chkdsk to correct any File system problems, then run System File Checker (sfc).
Alternatively, you can click on Start then Run, type chkdsk c: /r and press Enter.
For your boot drive (usually C:), you will get a window that says the check could not be performed ....
Do you want to schedule this disk check to run the next time you restart the computer?
Click on Yes.
Shutdown and reboot. Chkdsk will start. It can take an hour or more to run depending on the size of your hard drive. Be patient and let it complete undisturbed.
If that doesn't fix the problem, run sfc:
Vista and Windows 7 tell you if there were and problems, XP did not. You can examine the SFC results as follows:
Open a Command Prompt (does not have to be as Administrator):
|My System Specs
|07 Jan 2012
I ran the chkdsk, and it found a heap of orphaned files $$_microsoft.net_framework64 * * * or something similar, and when Windows restarted I then ran the SFC /scannow it said it had repaired some files but not others, rebooted and I can now access the filemaps folder no worries. I then entered this findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt, and then had a look at the sfcdetail.txt file but it was 0kb and had nothing in it. But all in all it seems to have fixed the problem with the filmaps folder. Thank you for the help Ztrucker most insightful and helpful.
|My System Specs
|07 Jan 2012
You could try notepad %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log from a Run box then examine it manually but there is a lot of data. Go to the bottom and work backwards.
|My System Specs
|07 Jan 2012
tried the notepad line and it said access denied and won't let me look not that it matters much though. Fixed that, just took ownership of the file and I can now see what's in it and boy is there a lot. What should I be looking for in this file though, will it tell me what the errors where that were corrupting the filmaps folder?
|My System Specs
|08 Jan 2012
It should tell you what files it found problems with and that it fixed them.
I think if you search on [SR] and/or the word "repairing" you will find the relevant entries.

The New Rulers of the World Trailer (2001)
The myths of globalisation have been incorporated into much of our everyday language. "Thinking globally" and "the global economy" are part of a jargon that assumes we are all part of one big global village, where national borders and national identities no longer matter. But what is globalisation? And where is this global village? In 2001, John Pilger made 'The New Rulers of the World', a film exploring the impact of globalisation. It took Indonesia as the prime example, a country that the World Bank described as a 'model pupil' until its 'globalised' economy collapsed in 1998. Globalisation has not only made the world smaller. It has also made it interdependent. An investment decision made in London can spell unemployment for thousands in Indonesia, while a business decision taken in Tokyo can create thousands of new jobs for workers in north-east England.

If you own a Ford Raptor, you're not worried about things like the price of fuel. You just want to have the baddest truck around and now ProCharger and Whipple both offer aftermarket supercharger kits to help you get a leg up on your fellow Raptor owners.
The HO Intercooled ProCharger System for 2010-11 Ford F150 Raptor SVTs is available for both the 6.2- and 5.4-liter engines. The complete system reportedly increases output of the 6.2L to more than 600 hp, while the 5.4L 3V engine cranks out more than 500 ponies, according to ProCharger. Part of the kit, you do need to upgrade the injectors to 60 pounds/hour on the 6.2L and 39 pounds/hour on the 5.4L. The self-contained lubrication of the ProCharger means that you don't have to install additional oil lines or sump systems.
If that's not enough, you can get a ProCharger's HO Intercooler Tuner Kit that boosts pressure levels higher than the eight to nine with the stock packages. It features a handheld tuner and omits tuning and the need to replace the fuel injectors.
Whipple's system was sneak-peeked on the company's Facebook page and boasts an air-to-water intercooler, GT500 throttle body and 2.9-liter blower that take output to more than 650 hp. Will keep you updated on the Whipple version when more details come available.
Either way, with that much power, your Raptor is guaranteed to fly high and proud.

Survival of snail is par for the course
THE population of a tiny, protected snail at a Greg Norman-designed golf course in the west has increased six-fold.
More than 60 million snails known as 'Vertigo Angustior' live at Doonbeg golf course in Co Clare. This means there are more of the snails living on the course than are present in most countries.
Leading snail expert Dr Evelyn Moorkens has monitored the management by Doonbeg golf club of the 1.8mm-long snail for the past 10 years.
She said yesterday: "The snail is thriving at the course and what has occurred at Doonbeg is a model in terms of sustainable development and I can't think of another instance where the notion of sustainable development, as understood in the EU Habitats Directive, has been embraced so much."
The presence of the snail at the course held up its construction in 2000 after Tony Lowes of the Friends of the Irish Environment took a High Court action seeking to ensure the conservation of the snail.
The protection of the snail was the subject of a High Court settlement with Mr Lowes and was also one part of the conditions of planning granted by An Bord Pleanala.
Dr Moorkens was commenting yesterday about a report lodged by her on the snail to Clare County Council concerning a plan by the golf club for the retention of a contentious wall at the course.
Dr Moorkens said: "The management by the golf club of the snail has been superb."

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Houf family lived near a hill or steep ridge of land. The surname Houf is usually derived from the Old English word hoh, which means heel or projecting ridge of land. However, it is sometimes derived from the Old Norse word haugr, which means mound or hill. Furthermore, the name Houf may be derived from residence in one of a variety of similarly named places: Hoe is in Norfolk; Hoo is in Kent; places called Hooe are in Devon and Sussex; Hose is in Leicestershire; places named Heugh are in Durham and Northumberland; and settlements called Hough are found in both Cheshire and Derby.
Houf Early Origins
Cheshire at Hough, a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East which dates back to the 13th century when it was first listed as Hohc. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4)
Houf Spelling Variations
Houf Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Houf are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Houf include: Hough, Huff, Houfe, Hoff, Hoffe and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Houf or a variant listed above: Atherton Hough settled in Boston in 1633; John Hough arrived in Philadelphia in 1683 with his wife and child; Richard Hough settled in Pennsylvania in 1683 with his wife and children.

CA Anti-Virus 2007 Review and Ratings

Our Verdict: A low-profile antivirus solution from a company that puts its money where its mouth is. If your computer is already virus-infested, however, you may be out of luck. Read More…
- What We Liked…

- Cannot boot to CD, create rescue discs
- Can't save custom scans
- Limited documentation
CA Anti-Virus 2007 Review
By February 22, 2007reviewed
"Unobtrusive" is not a word we usually associate with antivirus software, but the $49.99 CA Anti-Virus 2007 goes out of its way to remain as discreet as possible, while not skimping on efficiency.
We especially like this combination when comparing it to Norton AntiVirus 2007. The latter program maintains Symantec's high standards for virus detection and removal—but it's not shy about making its presence felt. CA Anti-Virus requires only 11MB of hard drive space, versus Norton's 26MB (excluding the 8MB needed for its LiveUpdate component). It's also very forgiving with RAM, maintaining a small footprint despite automatically scanning files whenever they're opened, closed, or saved.
When it comes to speed, CA also bested Symantec, processing our 24GB of test data in just 28 minutes. (Norton AntiVirus needed 41 minutes.) Updating is exclusively a background activity, and none of the frequent software updates required a reboot (though the initial installation did).
CA loses points for its lack of emergency-repair tools, however, which makes CA Anti-Virus for preventative use only. You can't boot to the CD to disinfect a virus-riddled system, nor can you create a rescue disc, both important features in the Norton arsenal. Also, CA's documentation is skimpy—CA Anti-Virus comes with only a quick-start guide, a booklet explaining its generous protection plan (covering virus-related PC failure up to $1,500 in some situations), and an HTML help file. Vulnerability alerts, a virus-information center, and more are available on CA's Web site, which requires a bit of exploration to get the hang of.
The software itself, however, does not. Its sleek, attractive interface (particularly good-looking under Windows Vista's Aero graphics) greatly simplifies finding options and information, including real-time threat updates through integrated content feeds. While it's easy to schedule a full system scan or select or exclude certain files or folders from scans, you can't save custom scans you create.
The purchase price buys you a year of protection for up to three PCs. (Yearly updates thereafter cost $24.95.) Depending on the number of computers you own, this could be a good deal.
If you need or want a few more features, or are looking for a quick solution to an existing virus problem, a competing program might be a better match. But we'd suggest checking in on CA Anti-Virus again next year—it's definitely a virus fighter to watch.
CA Anti-Virus 2007
Our Verdict: A low-profile antivirus solution from a company that puts its money where its mouth is. If your computer is already virus-infested, however, you may be out of luck.

Tour Scotland Video Grooming Clydesdale Horses Agricultural Show Perth Perthshire
Tour Scotland video of grooming Clydesdale Horses on ancestry visit to the agricultural show in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. A Clydesdale is a magnificent show horse, so a good grooming goes a long way. Use a quality horse brush and start at the top of the horse's neck while gently brushing in a downwards motion towards its back. If you find any dirt on its coat, use a gentle flicking motion with the brush to whisk the dirt away. With such large hooves, dirt also gets stuck so use a hoof pick get rid of small rocks and debris. Closely inspect the hooves as well to look for injuries. Once you brush the horse and clean its hooves, use a horse comb to smooth its coat.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE | Songs for the Deaf (Interscope)
Right now, in a far better, far more bad-ass parallel world somewhere across the galaxy, a mustachioed classic-rock DJ closely resembling Jim Ladd is spinning Songs for the Deaf, and totally getting off on it. The kids there are being sandblasted with thee most fully righteous arena rock of their wildest dreams, and they're not being talked down to in the bargain. They're ecstatic.
Pure ecstasy is strewn all over Queens of the Stone Age's new disc, which plays out like a demonstration record of a new and viable and outrageously alternative heavy rock, where the bruising metallics come weighted in equal proportion with unchained melody, thrilling dynamics and delirious audio faux de roll. Set up with jokey bits of crap-radio DJ blather, Songs for the Deaf swiftly jumps up to state its case with the opener, "Millionaire," a neat-neat-neat riff-rock blender (UFO? Status Quo?) whose piled-higher-and-deeper chaos palette and in-the-red distorto aesthetic leaps right into your face and hangs there for the duration of the platter.
Emphasizing songcraft and their own cheesy love of '60s'90s pop droppings, chief Queens Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri seem like a shrewd coupla dudes out to give the headbangers a little taste of what they want and a tremendous load of what they oughtta get into. The hard-rock-aligned Queens aren't a metal band per se, they're a melodic hard-rock collective with an ingeniously orchestrated wall of noise and, yes, life-affirming joys. Deaf's songs are lavish troves of pop-rubbish reference points, like "No One Knows," where Homme's vocal, a strutty cadence and a rather exalted chorus rain from the sky like long-lost thunder from the Move. On "First It Giveth #1," Queens are your Spanish-inflected Beach Boys; "Do It Again" brings the Gary Glitter ("Hey!")type "just we boys" stomp; savor and relish "God"'s "Everybody must get stoned" stumble and smells-like "Spirit in the Sky" guitar. You could snigger when "Another Love Song"'s Euro bass roots and minor-key mode ream out "Paint It Black" even as the drums tip their hat to the Prunes' "Too Much To Dream."
Recombinant rock yes, obviousness never: This is an inspired band, bursting with ideas, and these Deaf tunes are textbook illustrations of how to keep a listener's attention. The blaring overdrive of "First It Giveth" resets and freshens its theme with exhilarating key modulations; "Song for the Dead" stutters out all "Foxy Lady"like (Josh on lewd guitar, drummer Dave Grohl on Mitch Mitchellesque off-time jazzy-rock swing), then they double the tempo; but it stops; then it returns, full-blast, head-swimmingly fast, like a rocky punky Neu! The moods shift; the monumental "Song for the Deaf"'s Middle Eastern décors loom balefully as we gallop 'cross the dunes toward the grand finale, "Mosquito Song," an acoustic saga that sweetly sings, "Mosquitoes come to suck your blood," and harmonium, violin and piano join hands, and . . . well, it's exquisite but . . . strange: Why is this happening? you ask yourself, when the Morricone horns and martial snares march all us mere rock fans into battle, or toward the setting sun, or . . . well, it's back to the campfire to pass the pipe and chew on the events of the day.

Exactly what did happen that day? Queens' cryptic lyrics won't tell, but their extrovert music will: a tall tale about a madly inspired, insanely unfettered and supremely confident young band buzzing on their creative powers, their zenith nowhere in sight. Songs for the Deaf is that rare and so, so alive thing that can make you love rock music again.

STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis was recently interviewed by Craig Mathews of the 104.9 The Surf radio station. You can now listen to the chat using the SoundCloud below.Asked if "the touring machine of STAIND" is going to be headling out anytime soon, Lewis responded: "The touring machine, as you call it, of STAIND will never be again. Not like that, no. Never. Never. I could never go back to playing six shows [a week] eight weeks in a row. I can't do that. I have grown in my age and become very accustomed to playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday and being able to go home for a few days and unwind and try to kind of have a life aside from doing this." He added: "I worked really, really, really hard to get to this point where I can play three days a week and still do just fine." The encore of this past Friday's (August 4) Aaron Lewis And Friends benefit concert at Pines Theater at Look Park in Northampton, Massachusetts featured three original members of STAIND — Lewis, guitarist Mike Mushok and bassist Johnny April — with current drummer Sal Giancarelli performing a three-song acoustic finale that included "Outside", "Something To Remind You" (see video below) and "It's Been A While". STAIND has been mostly inactive since 2011 and Lewis said in a recent interview that the band is probably going to stay that way for the foreseeable future. He told Planet Weekly: "I definitely see it staying on hold for a while. I've got to stay focused on this [country career]. I've got to take this to where it needs to get to before I can start risking things with the good ol' boy network reception and throwing in a handful of STAIND shows in the summertime along with all of my country shows. But that's down the road. I can't even think about that right now." Mushok admitted to Canadian journalist Mitch Lafon last year that it has been "a little frustrating" having to put STAIND on hold while Aaron continues to record and tour as a country solo artist. "People come to me [and say], 'Don't you get mad? Aren't you angry…?' And I'm, like, 'Well, I can't be. He has to be happy with what he wants to do,'" Mike said. "And if [he's] not happy… No matter what I do, when I go to Aaron, I can't [say to him], 'Dude, we have all these offers. We've gotta play these shows.' I can't make him. And if I did make him, he'd resent me. And it wouldn't be fun, and it wouldn't be what they're supposed to be. So when the day comes that he decides, 'Hey, man, let's do this again,' either I'll be ready or I won't. It's either, 'No, man, I'm doing this [SAINT ASONIA] now, because you had your thing,' or we'll be on a break, or whatever it is, and I'll say, 'Okay, we can do it.' So I'm really just kind of playing it as it goes." Lewis made his debut as a country artist with the 2010 EP "Town Line", which he followed up in 2012 with his first full-length solo album, "The Road". Mushok and ex-THREE DAYS GRACE vocalist Adam Gontier unveiled SAINT ASONIA in early 2015, releasing a self-titled debut album in 2015 and scoring a Top 10 rock single with "Better Place".

Marcus Barnett at Scott's
The terrace at Scott's is one of Mount Street's highlights and this year, to celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show, they have approached esteemed and critically-acclaimed gardener, Marcus Barnett, to cast a little floral magic in their direction. From Friday, 8 to Tuesday, 26 May, Barnett will use a delicate veil of spring hedgerow flowers to filter the light at the edge of the canopy. These will be mirrored by a rich and abundant display of more wild flowers suspended over the terrace with herbs and umbels of cow parsley, weaving in between a rustic chandelier. Known for his classically contemporary style, Barnett is designing the Daily Telegraph Garden at Chelsea this year, so we are thrilled that he's found time in his hectic schedule to spend a little time in Mayfair.
In keeping with the floral theme, Scott's bar team has created a list of cocktails with a floral bias including the Rose & Gold with hibiscus tea syrup, Lillet Rose topped with Champagne. There are few better ways to spend an evening that sitting at the bar at Scott's, fostering one of these cocktails, feasting on shellfish or fish and soaking up the Scott's buzz. Open all day from midday, Monday to Sunday. For bookings, contact 020 7495 7309

Cutting Films: Dalai Lama's Birthday Celebrated with Presentation of Short Films
In celebration of the Dalai Lama's birthday – July 6, 1935 (Wood-Pig Year) – the Newark Museum is pleased to present five short films, all excerpts of footage shot by C. Suydam Cutting, a wealthy sportsman, naturalist, and adventurer, who traveled to Central Asia in the 1920s and 1930s. On his numerous expeditions, mostly sponsored by prominent museums in the United States, Cutting and his colleagues collected remarkable examples of flora and fauna. He also took countless photographs and made several motion pictures during his travels.
Musical Arts of Asia celebrates music through the images of men and women singing, dancing, and playing musical instruments. Together, they reveal the disparate, dynamic, and melodic traditions of the peoples of Tibet and of the Szechuan and Yunnan Provinces of China. Many of the images come from receptions given in honor of Mr. Cutting and his party at the King's palace in Muli (now Sichuan Province) (1928), the Panchen Lama's monastery and palace in Shigatse (1935), or the Prime Minister's house in Lhasa (1935). This short film also includes images of a funeral procession in Tali Fu in Yunnan Province (1928). It accompanies an installation of 25 works – prints, paintings, ivories, lacquer objects, and musical instruments – from China, Japan, Korea, India, Nepal, and Tibet, currently on display in the Newark Museum's Asian Galleries.
The Forbidden Cities of Tibet highlights the sights that Cutting and his entourage found in Gyantse, Shigatse, and Lhasa. To quote Cutting, "these fantastic cities slumbering in medieval tranquility," with "a landscape well-nigh unrivalled for grandeur," were inhabited by "one of the most attractive people on earth." Marketplaces and monasteries, humble homes and grand residences are all showcased.
Villagers, Farmers, and Nomads emphasizes the "unique" agriculture that Cutting noted on his first trip to Tibet in 1930. On the southern steppes of the Tibetan plateau, Cutting observed that many products were used not for human consumption but rather for the horses, cows, and yaks (who in turn supported the human population). Another significant group of Tibetans, however, were herders who "wander here and there across the windy plateau, leading their hardy nomadic lives." Cutting stated, "Tibet is remarkably fortunate in its good health, its lack of overpopulation, and its ample and regular food supply."
In 1928 Cutting traveled with a group through Burma to Bhamo, "the last British outpost of civilization," and then over the mountains to Yunnan Province, "a landscape of wide rolling valleys, circled by gaunt mountain ranges." There he encountered several of what he exoticized as The Mystery Rivers of Asia. "The five great 'mystery rivers' of Tibet," Cutting wrote, "tried to find their way southward through the Himalayas to the sea. The Irrawaddy, the Mekong, the Brahmaputra, and the Salween succeeded, but the frustrated Yangtze, flowing southward in orderly fashion like the others, found its path blocked… so there was nothing for it to do but go back northward in another channel." In this short film, Cutting captured the adventure of crossing these rivers using a variety of vessels.
Since its introduction in the 7th century, Buddhism has played a major role in the artistic, cultural, social, and political life of the Tibetan people. In this short film, Buddhism in Tibet, Cutting photographed practitioners (lamas, monks, artists, men, women, and children) as well as places (chortens, monasteries, temples) associated with Tibetan Buddhism. Prayer wheels, wind-horse flags, and prayer beads are all portrayed, although Cutting primarily focused on people.
These five short films are drawn from many hours of footage that have been preserved digitally through the generosity of John H. McFadden and his wife Lisa D. Kabnick in honor of his sister Mary McFadden, a great-niece of Mr. Cutting who inherited his sense of adventure. The original films were donated in 1988 by Mr. Cutting's widow, Mary Pyne Filley Cutting, a Trustee of the Newark Museum. They document Cutting's expedition to Yunnan and Szechuan in 1928, the Cutting-Vernay expedition to Lhasa and Shigatse in 1935, and Cutting's two other trips to Tibet in 1930 and 1937.

Docent's Choice: The Arch of Titus
The Newark Museum was awarded a Bank of America Art Conservation Project grant for the conservation of George Peter Alexander Healy, Frederic Edwin Church and Jervis McEntee's The Arch of Titus.
As you approach The Arch of Titus, think of a painting by committee.
This treasured piece, completed in 1871, was conceived and produced by three American artists living in Rome. George Peter Alexander Healy, who came to be known as the painter of Presidents (more of his portraits have hung in the White House than any other artist), settled in Rome in 1866 where he later encountered fellow artists Frederick E. Church – a student of Hudson River's School Thomas Cole – and noted landscape artist Jervis McEntee – himself a one-time student of Frederick Church. All three of them had settled in the city in search of aesthetic enlightenment. Together, following an idea of Healy's, they joined forces in painting The Arch of Titus. Healy painted the figures, including the American icon Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and his daughter Edith; Church painted the Arch; and McEntee painted the Colosseum.
This monumental collaborative painting, a rarity in American art circles of the day, was the result of Longfellow having commissioned Healy to paint a portrait of himself and his daughter Edith when they all happened to be in Rome at the same time. In the right-hand corner, we can see Church seated with pencil and pad sketching the landscape; Healy beaming over Church's shoulder; and McEntee facing the viewer while gesturing towards Church's hands. Longfellow and his daughter appear under the Arch.
The Arch of Titus, built between 81 and 96 A.D. to commemorate the sack of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 A.D., served as a scenic reminder of the large colony of American artists and writers, as well as wealthy American tourists, expatriates and art collectors, who flocked to the ancient capital of civilization for inspiration. In the aftermath of the Civil War, as America began to build factories, dig canals and construct railroads, artists as well as collectors saw the country evolving from an agrarian to an industrial economic society. American artists began to highlight landscapes as idyllic settings and American collectors began to prefer nostalgic art representing simpler and more certain times. With the growth of the middle class, as travel became easily accessible, the Arch and the Colosseum as well as other historic sites, became favorite landmarks to photograph, sketch, draw, or paint. They were all often used as backgrounds for portraits, another popular genre in 19th century American art. Consequently, The Arch of Titus is a "curious" historical American memorandum, as it commemorates the presence of American tourists and the body of work that visiting American artists produced in the "Eternal City" in the later decades of the 19th century.
George Peter Alexander Healy, a portrait artist born in Boston, was living in Europe having alternated residence between America and Europe, and in 1866 he moved with his family to Rome where he collaborated with Church and McEntee. It has been written that the sitters in Healy's paintings evoke a sense of calmness, which can be seen in The Arch of Titus.
Unlike many of the artists of that period, Church did not study abroad. His father arranged for him to study with landscape artist Thomas Cole. However, after the loss of his wife and two children, he started a new life. Travelling to Jordan and Palestine, he ended his journey in Rome, where, day-to-day, he drew upon his memories and sketches to contribute to The Arch of Titus and other paintings.
Jervis McEntee, a student of Church, was born in Rondout, New York and educated in the tradition of the Hudson River School started by Church's mentor, Thomas Cole. He traveled through Europe in 1869, the same year that Church visited Rome. Known for his diaries, which he kept from the early 1870s until his death in1891, McEntee depicted the day-to-day lives of his fellow artists, as well as the evolution of the 19th century's art world.
The Arch of Titus speaks of the personal friendships between these three artists, as it celebrates and memorializes the camaraderie of American artists in Italy in the 19th century. As one stands before this treasure and meets the figures of Longfellow, his daughter and the three artists, we can feel like tourists from a bygone era on a walking tour, looking at the Arch and perhaps wondering about the reliefs on the walls, which are not clearly defined in the painting. Age has made many of the reliefs carved on the archway walls difficult to figure out, and hard to recognize what they describe and what stories they tell.
There are two scenes from triumphs that Titus celebrated. One of these, when he sacked the Great Temple at Jerusalem while fighting the Judean war, shows the loot including the golden table and silver trumpets; another shows the seven-branched candlestick (menorah) all taken back and deposited in his father's (Vespasian) Temple of Peace. It is noted that the Arch was completed after his death and his figure appears riding heaven-ward on the back of an eagle. A Roman of that period would understand the stories behind the reliefs, and for us, it gives a sense of history. One relief shows captives carrying the Judean spoils back to Rome. Nero had sent Titus and others to crush the rebellion. In A.D. 70 Jerusalem fell; the Temple was burned; and the Judean state collapsed.
This painting invites a visitor to stand before it, noting its size, the figures, how they connect, and the choice of subject – and perhaps to opine about the subject.
And so, along with a heartfelt fatherly tableau of 19th century America's beloved poet strolling with his daughter, we glean a bit of history and a bit of the lives of three master painters who, as chance would have it, came together, with Healy at the helm, to create this composite panoramic scene.

Bank of America Art Conservation Project
Thanks to a generous grant from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project, the Museum is restoring a recently rediscovered and rare embroidered deerskin coat attributed to the Cherokee. This beautiful coat expands the scope of the Museum's Native American clothing collection. After restoration, school groups, scholars and Museum visitors can enjoy seeing it up close. The coat will be ready for display in 2018 in the exhibition Native Artists of North America, the new permanent galleries highlighting Native American Art and part of the Museum's newly reinterpreted Seeing America galleries.
Also restored through this grant is the 1871 painting The Arch of Titus, which has been part of the Museum's American art collection since 1926. Recently completed and returned to the Museum's Seeing America galleries, the large-scale work by George Peter Alexander, Frederic Edwin Church and Jervis McEntee will be on loan this fall to the Detroit Institute of Arts for its exhibition Frederic Church: To Jerusalem and Back.
The Museum began to collect Native American Art in 1910, and the collection includes holdings of Southwestern, Northwestern and Plains material from the 19th and 20th centuries. The embroidered frock coat is one of only about a dozen coats of this kind presently known in museum collections. Date estimates for this coat range from the late 18th to mid-19th century, which is fairly early among Native American artworks and clothing in museum collections. The conservation work consists of cleaning the entire coat, humidification to reduce the deerskin's brittleness, seam repair, embroidery attachment and repositioning of the belt.
A few closely related coats are attributed to the Shawnee and Delaware and provide insight into indigenous arts of the Southeast and Oklahoma, which are poorly understood yet historically important, given the extreme cultural and material losses caused by the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
"Close study of the Newark Museum's coat through the opportunity of conservation will yield many details of fabrication, materials and design, and add tremendous insight to the understanding of this group of objects," said Adriana Greci Green, lead curator of Native Artists of North America.
New Installation: Style and Status in Sterling
Nobody has ever needed objects made of silver. Yet silver objects have been made and used and treasured here since Europeans first set foot in North America.
So why would a museum want to create a gallery devoted to the use and production of silver objects for the American home? The answer is simple. Because silver still matters, even if many Americans have forgotten why.
This is why museums exist, after all: to remind us of things we've forgotten or maybe didn't even know in the first place. Silver is part of our history, and it is part of our artistic heritage as a nation.
In May 2017, in the original Guest Room of the 1885 Ballantine House, the Newark Museum will unveil its first-ever permanent gallery devoted to American silver from the Colonial period to the present day. The approximately one hundred objects, ranging from
tablespoons to massive candelabra, represent the story of silver in America and were chosen from one of the most comprehensive museum collections of American silver in the country.
Two of the key themes are "Because we love you" and "Showing off." Silver is a mineral (Ag on the periodic table of elements) and has been considered precious since ancient Egypt and Han Dynasty China (206 BC–AD 220). For thousands of years, silver has been associated with money and power. As a result, its intrinsic value has elevated the prestige of any object made from it and any person who owns it.
If you give someone an object made of silver, you are telling them they are loved; they matter; they are precious. That's why silver objects are given to couples to honor their marriage or mark an anniversary. Silver is also given to celebrate the
birth of a child, or to honor a long career or a job well done.
"Showing off" is a less subtle theme. Because silver had long been associated with cash and therefore represented literal wealth, silver objects are a traditional way to demonstrate personal status. One of the Museum's founding trustees purchased a massive pair of ornate silver candelabra that Tiffany had displayed in two different world's fairs.
The exhibition's simplest themes involve stylistic change over time and the use of silver as an artistic medium. A small timeline of coffeepots demonstrates how silver has traditionally been an indicator of current fashion. Nine beautiful coffeepots show how a single form changed stylistically from the middle of the 18th century to the beginning of the 21st. Every stop on the timeline will include a snippet of American history to remind visitors what was going on when each piece was made. A unique coffeepot made in New York City by Halsted and Myers dates from the mid-1760s, just after the end of the French and Indian War. Myer Myers was the only Jewish silversmith in Colonial America, and Benjamin Halsted had a silver shop in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
At the other end of the spectrum, a postmodern coffeepot, made in 1999, was a collaboration between New Jersey silversmith Ubaldo Vitali, and New Jersey glassmaker Leonard DiNardo. Commissioned by Movado for the Millennium, it recalls a time when people everywhere were worried about the "Y2K bug" that was going to cause computers all over the world to crash.
Because silversmithing can be an expression of artistic talent, there is a section devoted to silver objects that were intended as works of art. Another section of the gallery will be devoted to objects made of electroplated silver. The technology for electrically transferring pure silver onto the surface of a base-metal object (tin, copper or another white metal) was developed in the United States by the 1840s. This allowed people of modest means to have access to silver objects.
Every major religion has used silver vessels for its worship practices because of the ancient belief that silver was purifying and noble. There are four objects that specifically relate to Christian and Jewish religious rituals.
There is also a small section, clustered on the Guest Room's carved mantelpiece, reminding visitors that Newark was a major silversmithing city, and encouraging them to visit Newark, City of Silver and Gold from Tiffany to Cartier.

Behind the Scenes: Audubon and Bachman: Quadrupeds Of North America, 1849-1854
John James Audubon's illustrated book, Birds of America, is one of the most famous scientific treatises in the world. Produced in London in the 1820s and 1830s, the original edition was enormous, measuring 39 by 26 inches. Thanks to a generous gift from Dr. and Mrs. Henry R. Liss in 2001, the Newark Museum possesses the first Octavo edition (10 by 7 inches), published between 1840 and 1844, a more manageable set of seven volumes. Two of these volumes are on display in the Museum's "Seeing America" galleries. Known for its high aesthetic qualities and scientific accuracies, Birds of America quickly became the leading source of information on American ornithology.
Following this work, Audubon turned his attention to the mammals of North America, collaborating with a gentleman naturalist, the Rev. John Bachman of Charleston, South Carolina. Bachman wrote the text and supplied the scientific expertise; Audubon and his sons produced the artwork. Together they published a large-format set of three volumes in the late 1840s and early 1850s, which became renowned for the high quality of its color illustrations. A smaller edition under the title, The Quadrupeds of North America, came off the presses in 1849, 1851 and 1853 (volumes 1, 2 and 3, respectively).
This Royal Octavo edition of The Quadrupeds of North America was recently given to the Newark Museum's Library and Archives by Patricia C. Locke in memory of her husband, Richard S. Locke, an eagle scout who grew up in the city but was enamored of the outdoors. These handsomely bound volumes with their gold-embossed covers contain 155 hand-colored, full-page lithographs of exceptional beauty. In their introduction, Audubon and Bachman wrote: "We have endeavored…to place before the public a series of plates, which are not only scientifically correct, but interesting to all, from the varied occupations, expressions, and attitudes, we have given to the different species, together with the appropriate accessories, such as trees, plants, landscapes, etc…with which the animals are relieved."

On View: Hot, Hotter, Hottest: 300 Years of New Jersey Ceramics
Although the Newark Museum has been collecting New Jersey ceramics since 1910, there has never before been a permanent gallery devoted to this subject. On October 22, the Museum unveiled its first interactive display devoted to the history of pottery and porcelain production in New Jersey.
Hot, Hotter, Hottest refers to the three levels of heat needed to fire the three basic kinds of clay products for which New Jersey was long famous. Hot (2192˚F) is for earthenware, which includes the red clay vessels of the early 1800s and the white pottery dinnerware that poured out of Trenton in the 1890s. Hotter (2192–2372˚F) is for stoneware, the dense, non-porous material that can be grey or tan and has been used for everything from pickle crocks to fine art ceramics. Hottest of all (2372–2552˚F) is for porcelain, the refined, white, translucent material that was invented by the Chinese many hundreds of years ago. Some of America's finest porcelain came out of New Jersey factories, gracing the parlors of the Gilded Age elite and the dining tables of American presidents since 1918.
More than 90 examples drawn from the Museum's vast holdings are on rotating display in a specially designed gallery in the "House & Home" installation in the Museum's 1885 Ballantine House. Included will be examples that exist in no other museum collection, such as the late 18th-century presentation piece by Phillip Durell of Elizabethtown in 1793. Such redware, decorated by carving through a surface layer of white clay known as slip (which turns yellow when fired under a lead glaze), is generally considered to be Pennsylvania German in origin. However, Newark's plate shows that non-German New Jerseyans produced this ware for a wide market in Federal America.
The centerpiece of the gallery is the Grecian Vase, produced by the Trenton Potteries Company in 1904 for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis, Missouri. The Grecian Vase was one of four monumental vases standing over fifty-five inches tall, each uniquely decorated by hand in gold and enamel. Three of these great vases have survived, and Newark's vase has recently had its original base returned, after having been separated from it over a century ago.
Interactive touch screens highlight the Garden State's national importance as a pottery and porcelain center.

Life, Love, Death: The Ballantines at Home in Newark
To help mark the City of Newark's 350th anniversary, the Newark Museum has launched a new story line into the "House & Home" installation of the Museum's 1885 National Historic Landmark Ballantine House.
Life, Love, Death: The Ballantines offers, by means of interactive touch screens, a closer look at four aspects of the Ballantine house and its family. The Ballantines were in many ways very much like other wealthy families of America's Gilded Age (1865–1915), and they experienced their own joys and sorrows as any family does.
In a city like Newark, the source of the wealth that built a house is always important. With the Ballantine House, the source was beer. From the time Peter Ballantine moved his young family to Newark in 1840 to the time his sons built their own houses on Washington Park, beer brewing had become a powerful force in American industry. Millions of factory workers across the nation—many of them German and Irish—drank beer as much for its nourishment as for its alcohol. The Ballantines, with access to plenty of fresh water and an immigrant labor force, became the most powerful brewers in Newark. A touch screen in the Dining Room looks at the beer industry in Newark.
The house that Peter's son, John, and John's wife, Jeannette, built was the setting in which their children matured. In 1899 their daughter, Alice, was married in the house to a young Newark lawyer named Henry Young. A touch screen in the Reception Room explores Alice's wedding and the social setting in which her marriage took place.
But not every story in the Ballantine House was happy. The two restored bedrooms upstairs tells a different kind of tale. Both John and Jeannette died in this house; John in 1895 and Jeannette in 1919. During this era, 82 percent of Americans died at home. Doctors visited the sick in their homes—especially if they were wealthy—and often the body was prepared for burial there. A touch screen in the Master Bedroom looks at death in America in more detail.
The one great tragedy in this house was the suicide of the Ballantines' second son, Robert, in 1905. News of his death was reported in newspapers all over the United States, but the real reason behind it was never made public. A touch screen placed in Alice's bedroom discusses Robert's death and looks at the possibilities of what drove him to take his own life at the age of 35.

New Permanent Installation: Native Artists of North America
One of the big and exciting changes at the Newark Museum is our brand new Native American galleries, titled Native Artists of North America. Newly installed in the Mary Sue Sweeney Price and Clement Alexander Price Atrium galleries, at the entrance to the American art collection, this permanent installation showcases more than 100 works of Native American art, representing numerous tribal nations throughout the United States and Canada. Bringing together a wide range of historical and contemporary works, the show presents a diversity of types and styles of art: meticulously rendered watercolors; rare wood and stone carvings; handcrafted clothing and accessories; and exquisite examples of basketry, textiles, pottery, instruments and other objects, both beautiful and useful.
Rather than a comprehensive survey of all indigenous cultures, the new installation is designed to spotlight strengths of Newark's unique collection, with a focus on Northwest Coast (Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian), Northern California (Pomo) and the Southwest
(Pueblo watercolors and pottery, and Navajo and Hopi textiles). The Native American collection, which for many years was located on the second floor of the South Wing of the Museum, has not simply moved to a new space. Most of the material in Native Artists
of North America will also be new to most visitors. The works have been carefully selected from storage, studied, cleaned and repaired, and are looking their very best.
Whether one is an expert on indigenous art or enjoys these works on a purely visual level, visitors to Native Artists of North America are treated to a rich range of textures, colors, materials and techniques. One of the gallery's highlights is Newark's excellent collection of Pueblo watercolors, a modern approach to painting taken up by many Native American artists in the early 20th century. Newark has works by several of the acknowledged masters of this style, ranging from documentary subjects to abstract designs. With works like Kachinas Distributing Gifts, artists like Fred Kabotie (Hopi) documented the public dances of their communities at a time when ceremonial activities were being
repressed by government policies of assimilation. The vitality of the living traditions and unique stories these objects tell comes further into focus through the interpretive gallery text, written by a diverse team of Native American artists and curators.
Studying the collection over the past year and a half has led to some exciting re-discoveries and new attributions, largely thanks to the work of Adriana Greci Green, Ph.D., the lead curator on this project. One of the masterpieces of Newark's Northwest Coast
collection is a Bear Rattle that came into the collection in 1955 with no known artist, and is now understood to be the work of Sdiihldaa/Simeon Stilthda, a revered 19th-century Haida chief. Newark's Bear Rattle is one of only six known examples by this master carver. Dr. Green has worked closely with Newark's registrars, conservators, designers and curators, and with the distinguished team of Native artists and scholars she assembled to research and produce this exhibition. The curatorial team includes Sherrie Smith-Ferri, Ph.D. (Dry Creek Pomo-Coast Miwok), D.Y. Begay (Diné), Susan Sekaquaptewa (Hopi), Emil Her Many Horses (Oglala Lakota) and Mique'l Dangeli, Ph.D. (Tsimshian and Tlingit Nations). Having these colleagues visit and lend their expertise to our collections has been a wonderful experience.
Recognizing that the indigenous art of New Jersey is underrepresented at the Museum, building our collection to better represent Lenape art and culture has emerged as an important goal for the future. Working on Native Artists of North America has allowed us to meet and begin building relationships with the Nanticoke Lenne-Lenape and the Ramapough Lenape Nations.
— Tricia Laughlin Bloom, Ph.D, Curator of American Art

During this last one month images and voices related to the Delhi Rape,the subsequent protests and debates have flooded our lives.My daughter had a few difficult questions for me,here I try some answers.
Why does this girl hide her face?
This was a shocker,it came after she saw graphics similar to the ones mentioned in this article,which represent the woman survivor of a sexual crime as SHAMED.
This was a shocker,it came after she saw graphics similar to the ones mentioned in this article,which represent the woman survivor of a sexual crime as SHAMED.
But as any logic would point out shouldn't the wrongdoer be shamed instead of the victim of the wrongdoing?The worn out logic of social stigma against the survivor needs to break.
I told her she is not hiding her face,she is not ashamed,she is hurt.If we support her she will surely show us her face and smile some day.
Why did bad men kill her?
She is too young to understand what bestiality they subjected her to before attempting to kill her finally,but that doesn't lessen the impact of this query from a four year old.What kind of images of men is she forming in her mind,I wonder?
She still doesn't understand death due to violence fully yet knows killing is a bad word and a bad deed.
I told her sometimes we all are tempted to do bad,hurt others.But if you are being hurt by some one ever,speak up and if ever you are tempted to hurt some one remember its BAD and STOP.
Can I go in a bus when I am a big girl?
Wish I could say no to this.But then wouldn't I be participating in the extended conspiracy of locking-up our girls from public spaces due to fear of sexual or other exploitation?
I tell her you can but you have to be vigilant and brave,hoping that by the time she is old enough to take a bus alone things would have changed for the better for her and all us women.

Ron Dennis on the McLaren P1
The Ferrari v McLaren rivalry is so entrenched it's quite possibly depicted in a cave painting in some ancient land. So the newly unveiled presence of the Ferrari LaFerrari - or whatever we're meant to call it - at Geneva earlier this week under the same vast hangar roof as the production-ready McLaren P1 had long-term observers of the two old foes dribbling in anticipation.
As it happens, TopGear.com had been offered an audience with McLaren boss Ron Dennis, and duly made its way to the stand in time to watch him present his intriguingly styled new car to the media hordes in an occasionally stilted three-way with 2013 McLaren F1 driver Sergio Perez and the BBC's pit-lane lady Lee Mackenzie. There were some useful updates, though. McLaren will be making 375 P1s, at £866,000 a pop, with around 45 destined for the Middle East. Ron was very pointedly talking up the car's investment potential, which explains why there was an F1 LM on the stand (current market value: up to £3m). And he went on to reveal that he himself had beaten the current Star In A Reasonably Priced Car record around Dunsfold in the P1 by 10 seconds. Finally, he claimed that nobody else would be able to get near the P1's performance.
See more pics of the new McLaren P1
When we sat down together 15 minutes later, Jean-Christophe Babin, the super smooth boss of TAG Heuer who's off soon to run Italian luxury goods behemoth and hotelier Bulgari, joined us. As you'd expect of one of Formula One's most enduring relationships, there will be a TAG Heuer P1 chronograph in the fullness of, er, time, powered by an 'engine'. 'You can tell the time accurately for about five quid,' Ron conceded in his famously honest manner, 'but this is about technology, style and differentiation. A TAG Heuer watch isn't just about how it looks, it's about how it works, which is a great fit for McLaren. Yes, life has been very challenging recently, but we're not just fair-weather friends, and something very dramatic indeed would have to happen to end our relationship.'
On the P1 itself, Ron sums it up in one word: 'exclusivity. I want our customers to have an appreciating asset.' This represents something of a tactical shift, in the six months since the car first broke cover at Paris, when the emphasis was firmly on performance and the ultimate in track ability. Of course, that's not all that's changed since last September: McLaren sources have confirmed that McLaren Automotive managing director Antony Sheriff is on gardening leave, even though, as one added waggishly, 'he doesn't actually have a garden'. COO Mike Flewitt is in charge while Sheriff is 'away'. Which surely begs the question, is all well at Woking?
As my 15 minutes with Ron ticked their last, I had to ask about the P1's Ferrari rival, which was being unveiled at precisely the same moment. 'Well,' Ron smiled, 'all I can say is that there's nothing la la about our car…' A good line, and delivered with perhaps unexpected panache.
Turns out I would get another go at him on the subject, because who should I find myself standing next to on the Ferrari stand 45 minutes later than Ron Dennis. The name LaFerrari is undoubtedly a bit cuckoo, but the rest of it more than holds up to scrutiny, as the expression on Ron's face began to suggest. Ferrari will be making 124 more LaFerraris than McLaren is planning P1s, so technically it's already won the exclusivity battle. That, however, is just the start of it. 'Interesting,' Ron mused. 'I think the market is big enough for both cars. But why that name? I bet if you googled the coverage on the car its name would be the most talked-about aspect.'
See more pics of the new Ferrari LaFerrari
'Because it's meant to be the definitive Ferrari,' I answered hopefully. 'Anyway, you can ask the man responsible yourself. Here's Luca…'
At which point TG.com shuffled discreetly into the background as Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo greeted his old friend and rival Ron Dennis warmly, and the banter began (as seen above). 'The name? You don't like the name?? Why?' Montezemolo said, flicking a perfectly coiffed lock of hair away.
This one's going to run and run.

"Paper or Plastic? Social Media Can Restore Earth"
By Marcie Barnes
This is a live blog post from the talk entitled "Paper or Plastic? Social Media Can Restore Earth" at SXSW. Speaker is Michael Dungan Pres/CEO BeeDance.
They are working to divert items from the waste stream esp. in the construction industry, and they are connecting the "waste makers" with artists, teachers etc. via project called Zero Landfill in 25 US cities.
Biomimicry is an organizing principle as a design strategy – they looked at honeybees in order to learn how waste can be better managed/repurposed. Derived 30+ practices from honeybees and distilled them to 9 lessons:
• they work on a hyper-local basis: location-based & proximity-based apps are helping us be more like bees in this way
• they are motivated by the rules of attraction: they have finely tuned senses, they see strengths in nature
• they imprint and share knowledge: they share information and vote on issues as a matter of survival
• they are precise: can detect angles based on the sun and shadows
• they replicate best practices: the honeycomb is always the same and uniform and they use gravity to store honey and wax and build structures, which is one of the strongest shapes in nature
• they create value for multiple systems: they create additional transactions in the environment (pollenation) that is critical to food production
• they are regenerative: the queen is ousted when her egg production slows down – but she takes bees with her. Change for the positive, change for improvement
• they are diverse: monocultures are not good – things should not be grown in geographical "silos" – honey is made from diverse "crops"
• they are generous: they will make lots of honey given the right environment
How this applies to social media:
Two connections made via biomimicry:
• Inversion - increasing value through a proprietary process (app)
• Forage – locating value bypassed by others (search)
Examples: Polyflow takes all types of plastics from the waste stream and makes fuels and chemicals out of it. The app will tell people the value of their "waste" plastic, and how much crude oil is diverted.
Zero Landfill creates a market for things that previously would have gone to the landfill. They have a mobile app to connect teachers and artists to manufacturers, etc.
We are literally throwing away high-value energy by throwing away plastic. When a factory discontinues things, a lot of waste is created. New value chains are created and behavior shifts.
Pinterest, Instagram, Highlight are important to the consumer, and they are acting like bees.
One source of our inspiraton…and what green lifestyle design means
By Marcie Barnes
For those of you unfamiliar with the term "lifestyle design," it was coined by bestselling author Timothy Ferriss about five years ago in tandem with the writing and release of his first book, The 4-Hour Workweek. You can read all about it on his blog. In short, Tim is all about choosing the most efficient paths in life that lead to health and happiness. And he's done the research to back up everything he says, trust me.
Now those of you who know me are aware of the fact that I have been a volunteer member of Tim's team since the very early days of 4-Hour Workweek. I actually stumbled across Tim and his book before it became a bestseller, and was fascinated and inspired by his personal case studies and writing. That said, I give a great deal of credit to Tim and his books (his most recent one, The 4-Hour Body, actually delves into more detail about why eating "green", in particular, is also almost always the best choice for your health as well as for the health of the planet). Both books have certainly improved my life and have given me, in part, the insight and motivation to bring you this site — where we will delve more deeply into the world of green lifestyle design.
In this video, circa 2008, Tim addresses each of the major categories that we will also be addressing here — mostly conservation, food and transportation-related questions from our friends at treehugger. Most importantly, he talks about the kinds of choices we can make in our lives to be more "green" – without doing things like living totally off the grid and raising our own food. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. But because, as Tim says, that would be completely unrealistic for most of us…and we agree.
Without further ado, I present to you Mr. Tim Ferriss on green lifestyle design:
(This is a 30-minute long video. For a short synopsis, go here and for an even shorter one-minute clip with synopsis, go here.)

Textile dreams
In between designing costumes for top Hollywood productions like The Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge, Oscar-winning Catherine Martin recently released her own textile design collection. She talks to Camille Khouri about her work and passions.
How did you come into textile design?
I've always loved fabric. From my earliest memories I always wanted to sew on my mother's sewing machine. She taught me to sew when I was six years old. I love the fact that fabric has such diverse qualities. I often think that this interest in fabric has been a great asset to my career. I understand how fabric works and enjoy learning each textile's unique properties and also its diverse manufacturing processes.
Does your work in production, costume and interior design merge? Or do you see them as separate entities? How do you approach each differently?
I see both costume and production design as aids to telling stories. My job is to help the director and actors to tell the exact story they want to. Production design illustrates and makes clear both the environments and the contexts in which they want to set their stories. Costumes work to express the character that both the director and actors are making. Both are story-making tools, but the techniques you apply to them are different. That being said, they are one in the same, as they are both a means of translating ideas into a visual narrative. This is partly what I do when I am designing for interiors as well; I start my process with an attempt to tell a specific story.
Which field do you prefer to design for: fashion or interiors?
I enjoy all aspects of design; I enjoy the problem-solving challenge. I have actually never designed fabrics for a fashion application. I've always designed textiles for an interior application. I've designed fabric for use in movies as part of the costume storytelling process. My experience in terms of creating textiles from scratch has really been in the interiors world.
Paradiso is your third collection for Mokum. How does it differ from your previous collections?
I think every new collection brings new knowledge and a greater technical sophistication, as well as a more adventurous attitude. As your technical skills improve, your understanding of the manufacturing of the textiles improves and you are willing to take risks and understand how the risks might impact the final product.
The collection differs fundamentally because it is an indoor/outdoor fabric collection. This means that the fabric itself has to be able to withstand the elements. I am somebody who is naturally inclined towards natural fibres, so with this I had the opportunity to work with materials that outperform them in very strenuous conditions; fibres that are within my natural comfort zone.
Do you feel your style develops with each collection?
I don't know whether my style develops with each collection, but I would hope that there is a new perspective with each collection as we explore new fibres, methods of manufacturing, and applications. These often relate to my life – a place I am in, a movie I'm working on etc. All of those things influence my perspective when designing a collection.
You have worked extensively with the movie and television industry. What does this work involve?
It's very much that of a storyteller's aid. I am very much trying to help illuminate the story by illustrating important character or environmental points that are necessary for the story to be clear to the audience.
Do you feel working with Hollywood has had a major influence on your style?
I think exposure to any type of milieu outside of your comfort zone, whether that is going to the middle of the Gobi desert or visiting Hollywood, obviously broadens your horizons and exposes you to people, places and influences that I would not have had access to had I continued living in Lindfield on the North Shore of Australia. I am grateful for all of my disparate experiences, including my brush with Hollywood.
The patterns in the Helios design call upon some ancient sun motifs and Flamingo features flamingos and pineapples. Do you carry out a lot of research in your pattern designs?
When designing a collection I go back to the kind of constant research I do of collecting images of all kinds. This fabric collection, because of its focus on the outdoors, had me looking at a number of classic motifs that, on the one hand, paid homage to the great outdoors and the tropics and, on the other, the glamour of the late 1940s Miami. Over the past few years I've been working on a hotel called Faena in Miami, and was drawn to the sense of humour and the kitschiness of that time, which really played into the design of this collection.
Does history also play a part in your collections?
It always plays a very important part in all the work I do. This is because I think that everybody comes from somewhere and everybody comes with certain cultural references and sensibility. Historical references give, I feel, your work much more depth.
How do you come up with a theme for your collections?
The theme for each of the collections has been a process of evolution and is usually relatively organic and sparked by a research journey.
Do you design specifically for a finished product (i.e. a chair), or does the pattern come first?
I think the two work hand-in-hand. You come up with a pattern and the ultimate use of that pattern will organically reveal itself, and then you need to deal with adjusting that pattern to fit its specific application. In upholstery there are a few more constraints as you have to consider, for example, the back of a chair when considering the pattern – whereas in the drapery the scale can be very large.
What would be your dream commission/collaboration?
I think the collaboration I have with my husband, Baz Luhrmann, is a dream and possibly sometimes (when arguing!) a nightmare. But ultimately I am convinced that it is the journey that I've been meant to take in my life and I'm very grateful to be able to feel that I am doing what I'm meant to do.

How To Fix A Leaking Roof On Your Travel Trailer
The best product on the market for trailer roof repair is Rubberized Leak Stopper. The sealant will get deep into the cracks to form a secure bond with the roofing material and creates a permanent seal. There product comes with an excellent guarantee and cost about $20.00 per gallon.
Before getting started on your trailer roof repair you will want to wash and clean the roof thoroughly to remove all the dirt particles. Once the roof is clean make sure and dry it off with a towel. Next you will need to remove any debris or old patching material by using a scraper or brush. Most of the time the old patch will lift or flake off the trailer roof. You want to be careful and not damage the roof when you are scraping.
When you are ready to apply the roof sealant it is a good idea to wear protective clothing and disposable gloves. The sealant is very difficult to get off your skin. To apply the sealant it is best to use a paint brush or metal trowel so you can spread the sealant evenly over the trailer roof seams. Make sure and apply a thick coat for the best results. You also want to spread the sealant one inch to each side of the seam when applying. Anything that is sticking up from the roof like vents, air conditioners, and antennas should be sealed. Cover all the seams and cracks in your roof, not just the areas that appear to be a problem. This will prevent future leaks from happening on your trailer roof.

Freddy Adu's career odyssey will not include a formal stop in Blackpool after all.
The Blackpool Gazette has reported that the English Championship squad will not offer the former MLS and US national team starlet a contract after three weeks in camp, but he will stay in training with the club to raise his fitness as he looks for a deal elsewhere.
"There is nothing happening with Freddy," Blackpool manager Barry Ferguson said. "He's come in and worked hard with us. He is a great lad but I'm more than happy with what I've got. I have a strong squad."
Adu, 24, showed up in England earlier this month in search of a new club after he was released by Brazilian side Bahia last November. He left the Philadelphia Union in April 2013 after a falling out with the club. He has not featured for the United States at any level since the 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.

RAF planes already flying surveillance sorties over Libya
The Royal Air Force (RAF) is reportedly already flying missions over Libya even prior to any invitation from the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), whose term has not even started.
|Before the term of the GNA begins it has to gain a vote of confidence from the internationally-recognized House of Representatives (HoR) in Tobruk. The last proposed government was rejected as being too large. The HoR gave the GNA 10 days to come up with a new list but that deadline has passed. The deadline now is February 14.
Groups of Islamic State fighters are quitting their bases in Libya fearing Western air strikes and heading south, posing a new threat to countries in Africa's Sahel region including Niger and Chad, officials and intelligence sources said.The west may concentrate on trying to retake Sirte and the adjacent areas while most Islamic State fighters may be already spread out thinly throughout Niger, Chad, and elsewhere creating havoc.

03.Nov.2015 How to Handle the Oregon State QB Controversy
- Play Seth Collins inside the 10 yard line.
- Reasoning: the field shrinks and life easier for DBs inside the 10. Let Collins do what he does best and run it in.
- Play Nick Mitchell everywhere else.
- Reasoning: takes advantage of his strengths (moving the chains/better flow) and minimizes his weakness.
Subject to change as we see more of Mitchell and dependent on whether the Seth Collins injury/transfer rumors are true.
Some variants are welcome, like running Collins on short yardage outside the 10, or using both QBs at the same time, but above is the best foundation.

The magic of this work rests in the individual parts sung by each of the 40 voices. A lesser composer would have concocted a bombastic mess, but Tallis deploys the voices artfully. The main vocal line passes from choir to choir, slowly piling strata upon strata of grandiose sound, which then subsides after a phrase or two. At the end of the piece, all 40 voices converge majestically, as if God had preordered a version of Ravel's Bolero but with angelic voices instead of the tick-tick-tick tidal wave of accumulating orchestral instruments.
One tip: Forget about following the Latin text. Choral composers of yore generally enjoyed the advantage of setting a well-known passage. They could expect that their educated listeners understood Latin and probably knew the text already. The uneducated were merely obliged to be tremulously worshipful. Today, we can revel in Tallis' astonishing layers of sound without the distracting gravity of meek religious belief.
A final note: if you're looking for the sublime in sacred vocal music, I could not recommend more heartily the boxed set Vivaldi: The Complete Sacred Music. Snap this one up folks!
