Nishikata Ryota, Yozutsumi (Nightfall) (via Collect 2010: May 14-17, Saatchi Gallery, London, UK: Toku Art -Contemporary Japanese Ceramics & Applied Arts)
I saw this piece at Collect in May and it's beautiful, definitely worth clicking through to see at high resolution. This bowl is made of copper and the inside is gilded with silver. The outside has this beautiful bluey indigo patina where Nishikata has accentuated the texture on the copper by applying liver of sulphur then rubbing it back, then boiled in a solution to create the beautiful blue colour (via).

Interview with Gwen F. Chanzit - Special feature for The Denver Art Museum, July 2011
Interview with Gwen F. Chanzit, the curator of Overthrown: Clay Without Limits exhibition at The Denver Art Museum, July 2011
This is the first interview we've made for the special Overthrown feature. The special feature for The Denver Art Museum covers more interviews with artists exhibiting at the Overthrown: Clay Without Limits, which is on view June 11 through September 18, 2011. Subscribe here to receive the special edition of our newsletter.
Ceramics Now Magazine: How did you find the artists for Overthrown: Clay Without Limits exhibition? Was it hard or you already had their names in mind?
Gwen F. Chanzit: I spent many months researching, talking with artists in the field, and visiting artists in their studios. I also participated in symposia at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I was introduced to the work of additional artists.
From well over 100 file folders with research on the work of individual artists, I narrowed my selections by reviewing these regularly, moving the folders into piles that grew into "yes," "maybe," and "no." I was particularly interested in showing the breadth of work that ceramic artists are accomplishing today. Sometimes when I made a studio visit to see one artist, I discovered another artist or two.
Ceramics Now Magazine: What are the criteria on which you selected the artists for this exhibition?
Gwen F. Chanzit: I look for quality, inventiveness, and artists who are pushing the limits to develop new methodologies.
Working in all scales, from architecturally expansive to almost impossibly small, the artists in Overthrown employ twenty-first-century technology hand-in-hand with standard modeling and molding techniques. They use digital cameras, computers, laser cutters, 3-D printers, and computer-controlled mills along with more traditional tools. Some push the forms of functional objects. Others push the limits of fragility. They take risks that draw on material chemistry and maverick kiln techniques. Some of their works include not only clay, but also found objects such as metal, plastic, and abandoned industrial materials. Overthrowing our expectations of ceramic art —its size, its context, its methods, and its meaning—these artists show us new ways of using this versatile and timeless material.
Ceramics Now Magazine: Did the exhibition space offered many obstacles? How did the artists adapt to the space?
Gwen F. Chanzit: The exhibition space is a dynamic Daniel Libeskind design with angular walls and interesting spaces that are wonderful for exhibiting three-dimensional work. The soaring ceilings provide particularly good opportunities for large scale work. Each artist was encouraged to utilize these exciting spaces—which they did.
Most of the works were made especially for this exhibition, and many are in direct dialogue with the site—they move beyond the pedestal to the wall, the floor, and even the ceiling. A few extend across the entire museum complex. They break boundaries that are physical, technological, conceptual, and spatial.
Ceramics Now Magazine: On what principles do you guide on preparing an exhibition like this, with more than 20 artists participating?
Gwen F. Chanzit: It's important to show each artist's work with integrity, to enable the work to have enough space to show itself well. It was a particular goal for each work in this exhibition to be seen independently—-with the added bonus of long vistas across the gallery from work to work.
Ceramics Now Magazine: Do you have any guidelines for the artists? How long ago did you contact and proposed them to exhibit at the Denver Art Museum?
Gwen F. Chanzit: I encouraged each of the 25 artists to be very ambitious—not to be hindered by cost of materials or limitations of space. Most artists had just over a year to prepare the work—a very short time in the world of these ceramic installations where challenges of materials and techniques had to be resolved. In some cases, kilns had to be built..
Ceramics Now Magazine: Significant support was provided by different foundations and citizens. What is DAM's relationship with foundations and donors?
As most non-profits, the Denver Art Museum appreciates the significant support received by foundations and donors.
Ceramics Now Magazine: What part or what limits of this exhibition you find yourself connected to?
I am connected to all parts of the exhibition.
Ceramics Now Magazine: What expectations do you have from this exhibition?
Gwen F. Chanzit: I very much hope this exhibition will overthrow some expectations of what ceramics might be. It is a versatile and timeless material that is being used in new inventive ways in the 21st century.
Gwen Chanzit is curator of modern and contemporary art and the Herbert Bayer Collection and Archive, Denver Art Museum. She has organized many DAM exhibitions including Bonnard, Matisse from the Baltimore Museum of Art, Martha Daniels Grotto, Vance Kirkland: The Late Paintings and Color as Field, as well as numerous exhibitions on Herbert Bayer. Her rotation in the modern and contemporary art galleries for Marvelous Mud is Focus: Earth and Fire.
Among her many publications, Chanzit has authored two books on Herbert Bayer; contributed essays to DAM exhibition catalogs, RADAR: Selections from the Collection of Vicki and Kent Logan and The View From Denver; served as editor and authored essays for the 2009 exhibition catalog, Embrace!; and published an essay in the Austrian exhibition catalog, Ahoi, Herbert: Bayer und die moderne (2009).
For Marvelous Mud, Chanzit is curating Overthrown: Clay Without Limits, an exhibition in the Anschutz Gallery that features new work by 25 contemporary artists—most of whom work very large scale. She is also preparing a catalog and organizing a related symposium in September 2011.
Chanzit is a frequent lecturer locally, nationally and internationally. She often serves as juror for art competitions and exhibitions and has been a guest curator at the Aspen Institute and the University of Denver. Chanzit holds a Ph.D. in art history and contributes to the future generation of museum professionals as director of the graduate program in museum studies at the University of Denver's School of Art and Art History.

Debbie Quick's profile on Ceramics Now Magazine - View her works
"I am a storyteller. Or at least I've wanted to be one for as long as I can remember; yet, the verbal telling of situations is not how my mind works. Instead, I physically construct my stories which speak of emotional interactions and reactions experienced during intense social exchanges. Just as social interactions are layered, having a number of interpretations, visual information leads to a multitude of possible understandings as well. This is why the idiom "A picture is worth a thousand words" describes how I choose to create narratives. Having more than one interpretation of an experience is why I desire to pack multilayered thoughts into every thing I make. Through exploring these concerns I attempt to communicate the numerous nuances of emotion weathered during awkward social exchanges.
I watch. I love to watch. I draw inspiration from the watching. I collect awkward exchanges between people and then sculpt them into stories. My narratives visually speak of uncomfortable social interactions and the intensity of feeling born out of them. The pieces I build depict the slippery quality of emotional intelligence and how it seems to elude explanation. Since there is often more than one side to a story and no singular truth to a situation, my pieces are stuck at the point of experiencing and contemplating uncomfortable and irresolvable situations. I explore the pain and discomfort of social interactions through the visual narratives I make." Debbie Quick

Todd and Joy Dunbar and their scruffy kids stumble into Babylon, Michigan on gas fumes. It's the Great Recession, and Todd is understandably suspicious of the warm welcome and job offers given them by the police officer who pulls them off the road and into the seedy Sundown Motel. The Dunbars soon discovers that all of the ragged travelers who find their way to Babylon find work.
The town isn't so inviting to wealthy but disgraced investment banker Paul Highsmith and his young family. They receive an offer they'd better not refuse—sell their home and get out.
The fate of both groups is in the hands of warring vampire clans who've settled the remote town for a century. That's what Paul learns in a blood-chilling, all-night epic tale by ancient clan leader Miles Drake. Paul's family's only chance is to join up with the Dunbars and other shady "Sundowners," and share their fight for survival.
The attack comes from forces of the day and the night. The besieged must go on the offensive—or continue to watch their numbers dwindle. Only the strong will survive the siege of the Sundown Motel. The harvesting has begun.
BLOODTHIRST IN BABYLON is an epic horror tale that's received glowing reviews from Famous Monsters of Filmland ("The characters of this story are well fleshed out, which makes the action matter that much more once the fangs start flying."), Rue Morgue Magazine ("Intelligent and frightening, Searls delivers a satiating Salem's Lot-style page-turner.") and Shattered Ravings ("Searls weaves an intricate web of dark intentions and even darker actions…").
Now available in trade papberback, BLOODTHIRST IN BABYLON is the second of my three published (or soon-to-be) horror novels. Samhain will release MALEVOLENT in ebook format in July and in trade paperback later in the year. Please visit davidsearls.com for more information. And thank you, from the bottom of my dark, dark heart.

Black Friday
As stores bring holiday shopping closer and closer to Halloween, even more emphasis is being placed on the "day of days" to hunt for bargains - Black Friday. I know that it has been around for a century, but it seems to have just ingrained itself into American culture over the last decade. It is funny how this "shoppers holiday" has the nation more polarized than presidential politics. You either have the folks whom despise the notion of buying into the early morning lines of big box stores or the adventure seekers just waiting to brag about the savings they won on that new single-cup coffee maker.
Me personally – I love Black Friday. For me, it has become an opportunity to bond with my mom. We have fully embraced our bargain hunting spirit and have made it our own. Every Thanksgiving, she packs some extra clothes and plans to camp out at my house after a paralyzing turkey dinner. We stay up all night watching movies and at around 4:30 am we get ready to 1) drive to the nearest electronics store to gaze at the absurd lines of people waiting for their numbers to be called (this helps us justify our own absurdity) and 2) christen the holiday shopping season.
So what does Shawnee have in store for your Black Friday tradition this year? You will just have to wait and see. However, you are the lucky ones. First and foremost there is no line to endure or cold weather in which to brace. Our Black Friday celebration is purely delivered online and there is no inconvenience offered in exchange for your savings.
If you are seeing this e-mail, rest assured that one day soon you will find in your inbox an invitation to take part in Shawnee's biggest sale of the year.

With celebrity life comes fame and fortune, something most A-listers use to splash out on cars, plastic surgery and every fad going. However some of these high flyers take the more extravagant option; spend millions on a home and refurbish it inside and out. Here are some of the most luxurious refurbished homes owned by celebrities.
Oprah Winfrey is American television tycoon who has a personal wealth of $2.7 billion, not too shabby. In 2001, with that gigantic stack of cash, Oprah bought Californian home for $50 million. The property covers 42 acres of land and the mansion alone covers 23,000 square feet. Since buying the house, Oprah has added her own touch of luxury by splashing out on some pricey refurbishment, installing a state-of-the-art home cinema, a man made lake with exotic fish. Oh and the house has 8 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, bit small really.
50 Cent's stunningly enormous 51,657 square foot luxury home located in Connecticut has an impressive 19 bedrooms, 37 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 5 Jacuzzis, 2 snooker rooms (cos one obviously isn't enough), an indoor swimming pool, a night club, a gym, an indoor racquetball court, a tennis court, a home cinema, indoor shooting range and oh yeah a pond. Bling bling! Fiddy bought the home from boxing legend Mike Tyson and spent an estimated $6 million in refurbishment. Lavishly furnished with personalised rennovation to match – this home is everything a self-styled celebrity could need.
Well, look who's talking now! Hollywood star John Travolta owns a not so beautiful but very luxurious and impressive style Florida mansion. Its cost: $2.5 million. Parking facilities? Of course, mainly one huge hangar for his Boeing 707 and one for the Gulfstream… and of course several smaller garages for his collection of 15 cars. His mansion just near Ocala, FL is called "Jumbolair", a pretty inventive and fun name for a home!
Rock star legend Rod Stewart owns a mega mansion painted all in sunshine yellow in Palm Beach area. Its cost was $12.5 million, and a very impressing feature is that it has it own private beach, football pitch and a carting track. He is a big fan of paintings, and he boasts with owning the biggest pre-Raphaelite painting collection in the world. Moreover, he is also a great fan of original Regency furniture and marble statues. Art Nuveau and Art Deco are the driving influences in both the outdoors and indoors decorations of his lavish and tastefully elegant home.
Still the Fresh Prince for many, while for others a very dear character from the "Pursuit of Happiness", and for others of a certain generation the lyrical mastermind behind the shake your hands from side to side masterpiece "Boom boom shake the room". Will Smith lives in a refurbished castle in Calabasas, California.
Hugh Hefner has a personal worth of over $40 million all thanks to his Playboy Empire. His Playboy Mansion is both is home and headquarters, the notorious Californian party home covers a total of 6 acres of land and has a staggering 26 bedrooms in the main property that takes 20,000 square feet. The luxurious refurbished home features the infamous Grotto, an underground water area which comes with the sacred rule, 'what happens in the Grotto, stays in the Grotto'.
Comedy super star Jerry Seinfeld bought this luxury estate from rocker Billy Joel for a reported figure of $32 million and has been refurbishing it ever since.
"Top Gun" star and his wife simply love ludicrously expensive real estates. They own several homes, one of which in London UK, and the other in Telluride Colorado, but none of these two homes exceed $6 million. The real deal is their home in Beverly Hills, which they bought for the exorbitant price of $35 million. Luxury, elegance and opulence are describing this palace both inside and out! The home has 9 bathrooms and 7 master bedrooms, with private pools and a tennis court. The mansion features a fence enclosure, so that the family can enjoy their privacy. The building was originally completed in the 30s, but went through several refurbishments and maintenance works. Today, the establishment occupies 1.4 acres, which gives plenty of private space that is for sure!
The ultimate celebrity couple own this $40 million estate in Long Island, New York and if you think it looks nice on the outside then you should see the inside. It has a ridiculous 18 refurbished bathrooms, yes 18! The Tudor style property covers an incredible 22,000 square feet and it comes with both a swimming pool and private tennis courts.

Chapter 50 Reviews
Victor does a little braking and entering. could he finally locate what he needs to solve this disaster?
What do I know? I hate to admit it, but not that much. I'm totin' a chip that can do all kinds o' wonderful thing, but I can't use it without gettin' tracked. My angel, as it were, is dead in her own bed, an' I'm drivin' her right nice car. There's someone whackin' off old pros, instead o' payin' retirement, an' I don't even remember who was doin' the hirin'. An' last but not least, there's that naggin' scent I keep catchin', but I can't seem to pin down long enough to track. I've been knocked out, knocked around, drugged, shot, stabbed, an' I've got mud in my hair. This stinks, in more ways than one. Who out there knows me well enough to teach or train these goons on how to take me down? Can't be the runt, 'cause that just sets him up too. Deathstrike knows better. Mystique, I ain't seen in a whild, I think. So who?
After headin' back up the stairs, an' gettin' to a public restroom, I clean the gunk offa me an' try to think, but it's like plowin' through clay. I'm comin' apart at the seams, an' I know it. Birdie. If she wasn't dead, I'd kill her fer dyin' on me. So, on top o' all o' this, I'd better hurry up, or someone's gonna get lucky real soon an' have a throw rug to parade over. An; I don't look good as an addition to someone's interior decoratin' projects. What does that leave me then. I look into the mirror, an' see the red edges o' my eyes. I'm needin' some good sleep, but that might just be a dream at this moment. I don't look rugged, I look ragged. Time to regroup.
It takes a bit to remember where i parked the damn car, but I get there an' haul tail outta the neighborhood. Lucky no one jacked the tires. I rummage in the glove compartment, an' come up with a few credit cards. Good, easy money, the best kind. The cards with the cash I found earlier covers expenses. No respectful hotel takes ya without luggage an' money, so I'm in luck. An' all the high an' mighty hotels have internet connection. Three hours, c couple thousand dollars an' some serious headaches later, I've got luggage, clothes, a laptop an' all them neat bathroom toys. Now i remember why, in my twenties I figger, I wanted to make it my life's work to personally firebomb every department store an' mall in North America. Though it was a nice suprise to find them cards had my name on them. That gal was twisted, but she was good at this plannin' thing.
I know, the idea o' findin' a nice high end hotel in Detroit sounds like a long shot, but there are some. An' a Vic Creed, esq., is now habitatin' there. They get the message about leavin' me alone after a long business trip, an' that I'm gonna need that internet connection later, but I've got more important things to do right now that figger out what I'm gonna do. Like room service. Three steaks, a plate o' french fries, some green apples, a baked chicken, an' a good half dozen o' them shrimp cocktail thing, up to the room of mister Creed, thank you very much. Leave the bell boy a good tip, an' settle down with food an' my newly purchased laptop. One thing I miss about the old days. All o' this instant communication junk is fer the birds. Splice sent me the data on the chip, like I could read it, but he was nice enough to put some o' it in english fer yers truly. After perusin' all this psychobabble, I figger out that the chip was built somewhere out west, by one o' the lines o' code or such. Don't these people believe in them stickers that have the 'made in' on them?
After two days o' patchin' up, restin' an' swimmin' laps in the heated pool, all o' this cushy livin's drivin' me up the nearest wall. So I check out, an' hit the road. The hotel people invite me to come back, sayin' that I'm the model guest. Hell, I was too tired to cause a ruckus, an' the room service guy was never late. West, then. Now where do they build all o' that software an' hardware out there? Even I know the answer to that one. California, Silicon Valley. At least it gets me outta Detroit, an' none too soon. My handiwork in the alley was found, an' the reporter people are startin' to guess who is doin' it, an' connectin' it to the New York killings an' the murders across the eastern country. Time to vanish.
I get the contents o' one o' my post ofice boxes Fed Ex-ed to me, an' now I'm Jeremy Smith. Very blendable, just the nice guy wirh lots o' monet goin' on a trip all the way from Atlanta. Never even used this one before, so I'm hopin' it'll throw off the fan club goons long enough to figger out who owns this chip an' who the employer o' the dead co-workers is. Huntin' people, somethin' I'm the best at. This won't take much longer now. Followin' the code trace from the chip, I locate which company that had a hand in buildin' the damn thing. So later, I pick up some stuff you don't find in a department store, an' get ready fer some old fashioned breaken' an' enterin'. I lost my colors way back before the club, so tonight's gonna be all black. An; anynoe who says that mercs are a dyin' breed never crawled through the underside o' society. It takes only two hours to get everythin', an' these people don't try to pawn off the latest fragrance in the bargain. All the tools a good bad guy needs to handle some illegal tresspassin'. If I didn't miss it so much, I'd be mad about gettin' back in the business.
It's about three in the morn, about the time when even the night security is noddin' off, an' the moon is covered by clouds. Must be my lucky night tonight. I know most o' them professional thieves go all in fer that plannin' ahead stuff, but if my senses don't catch it, all the studyin' in the world won't help me. I'm instinctual, not a book worm after all. i wait until the sprinklers shut off nearby, an' ghost across the grass, not even disturbin' the breeze. Drop around back, listenin' for the hum o' the motors in surveillance cameras in the silence o' the night. There's a couple, but their view is compromized by the darkness. No infrared on them, no motion detectors. Sloppy setup, I'll leave them a note tellin' them so. Poppin' the lock on an employee entrance takes a moment, then ya just slide one o' them magnetic strips in the gap to keep the internal alarms fooled. A little bit o' shoulder on the frame, an' in I go.
They've got the hall lights set low fer cost I'm figgerin', an' I act like a shadow down the hall to the set o' cubes people work in. I hate cubes, what's the point o' havin' walls, but no ceilin' or door? Some moron always leaves a system on, an' I'm bankin' on that. Lucky me, the rule still stands, an' all I gotta go through is a screen-saver code. So I pull a snapshot of this sucker's ladyfriend off the bulletin board, an' right there on the back is her name. These people should really wise up someday, this is gettin' too easy. Crackin' vault combos was never this smooth. A few point an' clicks, an' I've got the entire layout, as well as this sap's list o' passwords. I need the record room now. Puttin' the picture back, and returnin' the screen to where i found it, I head back down the hall, an' nearly scare myself outta my own skin when the A/C kicks on. Smooth, Victor.
The record room is right down the corridor, an' up two flights o' stairs. Memo to would-be thieves. Never take the elevators. It's a great way to tell everyone an' their kid brother that someone's in the building that shouldn't be there. I hot-foot it up the flights, an' ease the door open. Some places still go fer those kock behind ya doors, but it tends to annoy night security, so they're goin' outta style. Just in case, I strap some duct tape over the latch. Just leave yourself a little tab to pull it loose when you leave, an' no one is the wiser. I take a moment to check around me. Still no sound or scent o' guards. Apparently, all the cameras are on the outside. Guess they never figgered on someone gettin' in. Into the record room I go, an use the codes from the downstairs machine, settin' this guy up to get fired fer industrial espionage. Maybe he'll be smarter fer the loss. Now comes the tricky part. I don't even know the name o' the chip I'm lookin' fer, so I do it the old fashioned way. Pluggin' in the Zip drive I picked up durin' my shoppin' trip, I just start downloadin' everythin' that looks important. Another memo. Never use the printer. I don't care how quiet they are these days, in a silent building the sound stands out.
It take a little longer than i woulda liked, an' I've got a whole shoebox o' disks, but the deed is done. Unpluggin' the Zip an' loggin' out, I head to the hall an' the stairs. Pull the tape away, head down the stairs. Out into the corridor I used earlier, I finally catch it. A whiff o' coffee an' glazed donuts. An' Marlboros. Someone's smokin' in the building against regulations. Guards. Then the footsteps come into hearin', an' they're a bit close fer comfort. i dunk into the nearest door, an' ease it shut behind me, makin' sure it don's slam or squeak. I'm standin; in the middle o' some small waitin' room or somethin', across from the restrooms.Not the wisest place to me, so I duck into the ladies room. Just in time, 'cause I hear the door I just went through open an' close. Footsteps on the carpet, headin' this way. I move to the back o' the restroom, an' pull another toy outta it's pocket, just in case.
Then the door opens. Lucky me, livin' in a progressive society. It's a lady guard. "Hey! What are you doing in here?!?" She reaches to both her gun an' her walkie talkie link on her shirt front, but I'm too fast fer her eyes to catch on. Right in the chest she catches it, an' my new toy, one o' them volt zappers that can knock down a rabid rhino, gets her. She's out to lunch before she hits the floor, an' any other night, she'd spend the next twenty years feedin' the worms, but killin' is tracable, while a thief is half-heartedly persued. Just fer giggles though, I flush her bullets before I head out. Her motion to her walkie talkie tells me there's more than her in the building, an' I'm not in the mood right now. I do my best impression of a solid ghost, an' get back to the door I entered this place at. Close it behind me, pull the magnet strip so they can't trace it, an' over the grass I go, the only drawback is the speinklers kickin' back on. No biggis, got the disks an' Zip wrapped in plastic.
To the edge o' the property, strip outta the black jumpsuit an' stow it behind the seat, revealin' street clothes underneath, an' I'm so gone that even Elvis would be easier to find. Back to my nice room I'm rentin', an' I dump the jumpsuit along the way in a dumpster. No reason to tote incriminatin' evidence around, now is there? It's all replacable. Room serive, I want a bottle o' yer finest wine, why yes I'm celebratin'. Me, the bottle, the laptop and the Zips go to bed, an' I get to spend the next eight hours crunchin' through reams o' junk, lookin' fer I don't know what in amongst all this garbage. But after a few tense IMs to Splice, I get the name of the yahoo who wanted this chip built. Finally, somethin's comin' together fer me. I call the front desk, an' let them know I'll be checkin' out in the mornin'. I've got more drivin' to do. Seattle. The home o' cinnamon an' smoke I'm hopin'.

With a vote of approval from City Council members Tuesday, Jan 22, city staff now have at least 45 more dangerous structures marked for demolition in Beaumont.
The approval comes at a busy time for Community Development Director Chris Boone, who said the city has budgeted more tax dollars from the city's General Fund to demolish or enroll in a work program some 300 "tagged properties" the city has deemed substandard.
Political fallout continues from the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children dead, and the Texas Legislature is not immune. Sen.

As Dr. Walstrum announced on Thursday, the Cabinet approved the new policy on "Smoking & Tobacco Use."
There have been a number of questions about policy implementation; which, like all policies, is a work in progress. For example, we are working on permanent signage and a map of the shelter locations. In the meantime, however, I have attached a working sketch of the smoking shelter locations for your review.
In addition, as President Walstrum pointed out, the Wellness Committee will be developing recommendations for smoking cessation and enforcement.
Finally, the President and Cabinet will be working with the college community to implement this policy in an informative and collegial manner.

The Occupy Chicago Labor Working Group's Library Task Force, as part of the Chicago People's Library Movement, will hold simultaneous public meetings at branch libraries in all various parts of Chicago this Saturday to mark the start of National Library Week (April 14 - 18), and to raise public awareness and voice opposition to service and staff cuts at Chicago Public Libraries and privatization of C.P.L. resources.
Since January 100 pages remain laid off, branch libraries are open four instead of eight hours Mondays, most children's programs are gone, there are few new books and longer checkout and reference lines. Since 2010 branch libraries are open only 48 hours per week rather than 64 hours as they were before.
- Do You Want the City to Rehire All 100 Pages Laid Off in January 2012 so Libraries can Reopen All Day on Mondays and Bring Back our Children's Programs?
- Do You Want our Libraries to Reopen Monday through Thursday 9 am-9 pm, Friday & Saturday like they were until 2010, and Sundays Too?
- Do You Want more Library Staff and Resources Like Books, Computers, Educational Materials, Employment Info, Social Service Workshops, and CD/DVDs, etc. and in the neighborhood languages?
- Do You Want to Meet with Your Neighbors to Co-Create a Vision of What Chicagoans Want our Libraries to Be?
Whether You Use the Libraries a Little or a Lot, They Need Your Help!
Join us to Celebrate National Library Week April 14-18
Library patrons will gather at nine C.P.L. branch libraries and speak out about the recent and likely imminent cuts to library service and staff. Patrons will speak out about the meaning and importance libraries have to their lives, the effect cuts to hours and service have had, for the restoration of cuts and for their vision of what Chicago Public Libraries should and could be.
The meetings will take place Saturday, April 14th, at these times and locations:
10:00 am – noon @ Bezazian Library 1226 W. Ainslie
10:00 am – noon @ Little Village Library 2311 S. Kedzie
12:00 pm – 1:30 @ McKinley Park Library 1915 W. 35th St
12:00 pm – 1:30 @ Kelly Library 6151 S. Normal
1:30 pm – 3:30 @ Daley Library 3400 S. Halsted
1:30 pm – 3:30 @ Toman Library 2708 S. Pulaski
2:00 pm – 4:00 @ Albany Park Library 5150 N. Kimball
2:00 pm – 4:00 @ Rudy Lozano Library 1805 S. Loomis
3:00 pm – 5:00 @ Logan Square Library 3030 W. Fullerton

Hello Amy,
I was searching for the graphic artists who helped with some of the Attachment Parenting International's stuff: http://www.attachmentparenting.org/contribute/specialthanks Just doing internet searches to see if there might be a graphic designer who "got" attachment parenting to help me design a logo. Your name came up, I think?
Just curious if you do graphic design. I am wanting to create a logo of a papa, mama and baby bird snuggled together in a nest…sorta simple/modern/cute, like a silhouette kinda. Anyway, didn't know if you did that? Great site either way! :)

The black church is not an anomaly among folks who follow Christ. They are among the same family or 'body of believers' as Protestants, Evangelicals and Catholics; the black church just doesn't "obsess" over an 'official' classification as some do. Technically, its Protestant and/or Evangelical. . The black church's operating tenets are "anti-homosexuality" because scripture is "anti-homosexuality"; just like its anti murder, stealing, adultery, fornication, etc. . . If they didn't observe "faith tenets", then there is no longer a need to call itself a "church" or "Christian" for that matter.

"Weiyin Chen...a stunning young pianist...Her keyboard touch proved consistently firm, meticulously balanced and tastefully assertive, and her sense of phrasing lucidly energetic..."
Kenneth Herman,
San Diego Arts
, August 8, 2007
In a time of promising young virtuosos from all over the world, Weiyin Chen stands out not just for her dazzling technique, but above all for the sheer musicality and maturity of her playing, qualities rare in an artist of her young years. Her gift for getting to the musical "heart" of the scores she plays has drawn the attention and praise of such master musicians as the renowned conductor-pianist Leon Fleisher and pianists Richard Goode and Claude Frank, among a legion of other notable figures. Ms. Chen is a "thinking pianist" who has a rare ability to look beyond the notes on the page to divine a score's musical essence.
The Taiwanese-American pianist has performed internationally as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician. She marked her debut with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of maestro Edo de Waart in May of 2008. Her recent highlights include performances of the Brahms First Piano Concerto with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Leon Fleisher, who traveled to Asia expressly for these concerts. She will also world premiere a work for solo piano entitled "Sun Moon Lake", commissioned from the internationally noted American composer Marc Neikrug. Other engagements include appearing as soloist with the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra and a gala concert with the Taiwan Philharmonic NSO. Recitals engagements have taken her to Taiwan, New York City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, chamber music appearances at the Lake George Music Festival and Salt Lake City.
Ms. Chen just had two releases world wide during the 2012-2013 season, including her first solo album "Diary in G" on Azica Records performing Sonatas by Schubert and Schumann as well as her first contemporary album "Sounding Surfaces" performing the music by the rising American composer Steven Holochwost on Albany Records.
Weiyin Chen has also appeared as a soloist with the China National Symphony Orchestra, the Kalamazoo Philharmonia, the Orquesta Sinfonica Ciudad de Gijon. She was a featured artist in the Shanghai International Music Festival and the Taipei International Keyboard Festival. Her recital appearances include France, Holland, Panama and New York.
Ms. Chen's performances have been televised nationally in Taiwan, China and on UCSDTV in California. Her playing was broadcasted on WQXR's Young Artists Showcase and Reflections from the Keyboard, and NPR's Performance Today.
A passionate chamber musician, Ms. Chen has performed in numerous prestigious festivals including La Jolla SummerFest, Verbier Festival & Academy, Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sarasota Music Festival, Chamber Music at the Perlman Music Program and Chamber Music at the Banff Centre. She has collaborated with soloists such as violinists Cho-Liang Lin, Ilya Gringolts, Chee-Yun Kim, David Chan, Alina Pogostkina, violist Paul Neubauer, Cynthia Phelps and cellist Gary Hoffman.
Ms. Chen's education included studies with the pre-eminent Leon Fleisher at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, private study with Richard Goode and Claude Frank, she worked with Oxana Yablonskaya and Joseph Kalichstein at The Juilliard School, and Herbert Stessin at the Juilliard Pre-College Division. Ms. Chen is a winner of Princess Cecilia di Medici's La Gesse Foundation Fellowship and a prize-winner of the Sorantin International Young Artists Award.
Born in Taiwan in 1983, Ms. Chen resides in New York. For additional information, please visit her website at http://www.weiyinchen.com

Her Turn
"I really love Peter, but I can't stop thinking about my first husband, Rob, who died three years ago," said Cheryl, 42, an event planner who recently remarried and now lives with Peter, his daughter, Annie, 11, and her two children, Scott, 16, and Ellie, 13. "It's almost as if his ghost were haunting our new family.
"The day Rob died was horrible, and I'll never forget it. We'd taken the kids to a barbecue at a friend's beach house. He was standing near the grill, commenting on the gorgeous weather, when he suddenly collapsed. At first we all thought that he'd fainted. Our friend tried to revive him, but he didn't respond so we called 911. But by the time the ambulance arrived it was too late. He'd had a massive heart attack. It was so awful; I never had the chance to say good-bye.
"The next two years are a total blur. I muddled my way through, thanks to a lot of help from family and friends. Scott and Ellie went to therapy for a while, and I joined a bereavement group for widows. In fact, that's how I met Peter. One of the women in my group kept trying to set me up with him. I was reluctant but eventually agreed to meet him for dinner. On our first date we just clicked.
"We got married a year later in a small ceremony at a restaurant near my home. It was bittersweet. I was happy, but my kids cried the whole time. It's not that they don't like Peter; it's just that they felt I was replacing their father. Quite frankly, things have gone steadily downhill ever since. Peter and I fight a lot more than Rob and I ever did, and our house is in chaos all the time. The biggest source of tension is the kids. I just don't think Peter is sensitive enough to what my children have gone through.
"He thinks I let Ellie and Scott get away with murder. I think he's too demanding. Okay, so they don't make their beds every day. Is that a crime? My kids lost their father, for heaven's sake. They don't need to be constantly badgered by their stepdad.
"There are also issues with Peter's daughter. Annie is with us Thursdays and Fridays and every other weekend. She and Ellie share a room and they bicker constantly. Annie is always borrowing Ellie's stuff, and that makes my daughter furious. I tell her she has to share, but I also feel that Annie needs to respect boundaries a little more. Peter and I fight about this kind of stuff — and we usually end up siding with our own kids.
"Believe me, I know this is hard on Peter, too. He is trying so hard to build a relationship with my children, but they aren't making it easy. I feel terrible when I overhear them say things like, 'My dad never made us do that.' And last month he got really upset at Ellie's birthday party when I asked a friend to take some pictures of just my kids and me. He told me later that he felt shut out. I feel bad about that. I didn't mean to hurt him. In hindsight I don't even know what I was thinking. It was just a really stressful day. Oh, and speaking of pictures, I keep a lot of family photos around the house — most have Rob in them. Peter once made a joke about that, but I can tell it bugs him.
"I know how incredibly lucky I am to have found such a wonderful husband. But the romance is already gone in our relationship. We hardly ever spend time alone, and most nights he goes to bed and I sit on the sofa watching Jon Stewart. You'd never believe we're newlyweds."

All the cams I suggested idle at the same rpm as the cam you got.
They are all more powerfull and responsive in the same overall rpm range.
With the car , motor info you ahve now provided, I would use a smaller cam
than the cam you got now.
A lot more torque in the rpm range you will be using.
Now that I see the combo that cam is even more lame.
Use a cam with 208 to 218 @.050 intake duration
and 218 to 228 exhaust duration
The cam you got is very lazy in your car. (late intake closing point)
It was origionally designed for a 4 speed with 11:1 compression
in 1968.
This is probabily why you want to change things looking for more
keep the cam duration small for the OD transmission and 336 gears.
Here is the page on summit with all the SBC cams listed.
you can search thru that.
any of the cams within the duration group I outlined will
be a winner in your 327 w th700r4 trans .
Yes these short duration cams like a 1.6 rocker.
now you are cooking with gas. The cam you got is a real stinker.
here is a good example of the cam you wouls want to change to.
Comp cams Dual energy 265DEH-10 #12-208-2
COMP Cams 12-208-2 - COMP Cams Dual Energy Camshafts - Overview - SummitRacing.com
any cam with a similar .050" duration will be a winner.
all are way better than that stinker.
now your new heads can shine.
even this $54 summit "1103" cam is a good improvement . (this cam actually works very well and is a good match also likes 1.6 rockers)
Your 336 gears are very tame for the th700r4 trans. If you want more acceleration consider a gear swap (3.73-4.10)
now your overdrive is actually usefull Remember the OD knocks down the gear by 30%
you'd really like 4.10's in that car with the th700r4 trans. (2.87:1 cruise gear in OD)
what you got now is useless
3.36's and OD and a lame cam.
not suprised at all you want to make changes.
your 327 will be
a lot more spunky
non of the cams I suggested have a offensive idle at all.

Air Max 1 – Kid Robot – Hot Pink Promo
January 20th, 2007 by Sneaker News | No comments
You definitely won't seen these everyday. There were only 72 pairs made and they were for promo only. The 72 pairs went to the hands of some top Barney's managers and executives and a bunch of a-listers. Expect to pay a top dollar for these.

I promise.
You continue to disappoint me…I wish we could be friends.
I really do…
I hate the kind of decisions that one of two people that you truly love will get hurt no matter what you choose.
Why couldn't I have gotten struck by lightning at that exact point in time so I didn't have to choose? :/
I've been thinking about my ex's little brother lately. He has Autism. I remember, when I would go over, he'd yell on the phone (or at least I thought it was on the phone) and argue about the strangest things. He'd toss things and physically fight his brother.
But he was so kind when he wanted to be. I remember how happy his brother made him. He was so proud. He was always so happy to see him, like when a child's mom or dad comes home, he'd jump for joy.
I wonder how he's doing…
A little part of me enjoyed being bitter. It gave me an excuse to be a jerk to people.
You always will be.
I can't believe I ever trusted you…
and trapped with all my miserable thoughts…
You're a fucking prick. You're never gonna find "the love of your life" if you don't get your shit together…
because I realized that last Christmas, I asked Santa for a Valentine.
And I got my boyfriend instead. :') ♥
I'm at a happy place. I have what most girls would want in a relationship. I have a loyal, kind, thoughtful, handsome boyfriend that loves me and treats me like a princess. I couldn't ask for more.
He puts me first. He tells me everything he feels. He isn't afraid to hold my hand in front of our friends. My family likes him.
I can't even list all the things I love about him.
He's just the best thing that's ever happened to me.
They need to appreciate what they have and stop fuckin' around.

On the fabric of every southwest-northeast street of the Bushwick grid, a subtle disjoint somewhere between Irving and Wyckoff Avenues marks the scar of a 19th-century railroad that once cut through the entire length of the neighborhood. This forgotten line originally carried passengers from the Greenpoint waterfront to Manhattan Beach, and for the following century supplied freight to Bushwick industries. Few residents would have reason to notice the Evergreen Branch from street level, but in satellite images a straight-arrow track through Bushwick still jumps out, traced by parking lots, scrapyards and mismatched modern buildings.
We followed the vanished right-of-way with filmmaker Francis Arpaia, walking from one old junction at the edge of Cemetery of the Evergreens to the other beside English Kills. Along the way we tried to recreate the traversal with a nod to one of cinema's oldest camera tricks, the locomotive-mounted phantom ride. The narrow fault line has sprouted everything from (slightly radioactive) grassy lots and apartment buildings to a coal yard, a supermarket, a senior citizens center, a White Castle drive-thru, and a 9/11 memorial.
The Evergreen Branch began life in 1878 as a segment of the narrow-gauge New York and Manhattan Beach Railway, offering Manhattanites a service "By Rail to the Sea." This began with a short connection on the excursion steamer Sylvan Grove from 23rd Street to a terminal on Greenpoint's Bushwick Inlet. (The Sylvan Grove later ended up plying a beach service in Cape Fear, North Carolina, where it lies on the bottom after burning and sinking in 1891.) From Greenpoint day trippers would speed on "double track, steel rails over entire road" to Manhattan Beach. Express trains made the entire 14.25-mile run with only one stop in East New York. Bushwick residents, however, could hop on the local service at stations on Varick, DeKalb, Myrtle and Cooper Avenues.
In 1885 this direct line became less necessary when the LIRR's Long Island City service at Fresh Pond was linked up to the Bay Ridge Branch just below Cooper Avenue. The Greenpoint segment was dropped in 1886, and its right-of-way has all but vanished. Bushwick's piece of the line remained, however, as the Evergreen Branch, running a passenger shuttle until 1894 before transitioning entirely to local freight service for the 20th century.
A 1920s map of freight consignees shows the industrial needs served by these rails. Though outdone by the thicket of industry lining the Bushwick Branch above Johnson Avenue, the Evergreen Branch served a string of customers like Marka Storage Battery Co., Inc., Englander Spring Bed Co., Rubel Coal & Ice Corp., and Master Bakers Purchasing Association. A gap between consignees in the neighborhood's residential core foreshadows where eight blocks from Himrod Street to Starr Street would be removed from service – and the annoyance of a level crossing on every block – in 1939.
Other portions followed suit as road freight took over in subsequent decades, until the LIRR finally acquired and discontinued the last remnant of the line in 1984. The sole freight customer left to be inconvenienced was a lumber yard above Putnam Avenue, now the soon-to-expand footprint of the Wyckoff Food Bazaar.
The lowest stretch from Cooper to Eldert became something marked on maps (up to and including Google's) as "Old Railroad Grade Alley," though any actual alley is now divided up between fenced back lots and factory yards. The rest of its former right-of-way, aside from the odd piece of rail rising up through cracked pavement, is marked only by the uses that the neighborhood has made of the narrow gaps. Apartment site, scrapyard, parking lot, drive-thru, or memorial: the city reclaims its own.
