What Makes Dutch Process Cocoa Different?
Created by Dutch chocolate maker Coenraad Johannes van Houten, the process results in not only lower acidity but also a milder, less bitter taste and a darker color.
So how does this affect your recipes? Since Dutch process cocoa has a neutral pH, it doesn't react with baking soda. Instead, Dutch process cocoa should be mixed with baking powder for leavening. Although the two types of cocoa powder are certainly interchangeable in some recipes, the results will vary if you substitute one for the other.
What to remember: Dutch process cocoa is darker with a more complex flavor, while natural cocoa powder has a light color and a more fruity taste. Most recipes remove the guesswork, because directions typically state whether or not Dutch process cocoa is preferred.
Interested in baking with Dutch process cocoa? Here are a few recipes to try:

Look into the Electricians Mate rating also known as EM. Unlike the CE rating you are stationed on ships and get to work with high voltage. The construction (Seabee) jobs are being downsized but EM is always in demand.

UK & World News
Doctors' Strike: 'Limited Impact On Patients'
Fewer than one in 10 patients had their operations or consultations rescheduled because of the doctors' strike, NHS figures show.
According to the Department of Health 2,700 operations and 18,750 outpatient appointments were cancelled - far fewer than had been forecast.
Three quarters of GP surgeries were open as usual.
Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, said it had been wrong to inconvenience patients.
But the British Medical Association (BMA) said the day of action had achieved its aim of sending a message to the Government.
Doctors are protesting over changes to their pensions that would mean they would have to contribute more, work longer and receive less in retirement.
The BMA announced the action last month after it accused ministers of pressing ahead with "totally unjustified" increases to pension contributions and a later retirement age for doctors, even though a deal on pensions was agreed four years ago.
Dr Laurence Buckman, head of the BMA's GP committee, said: "We realised that the public would not think it was a great idea for a rich set of NHS workers to complain about something.
"But how else can we demonstrate how upset we are? None of us want to take this action. We were pushed in to this. It is on very edge of what is professionally acceptable."
Under the changes doctors would still retire on an average of £48,000 plus a lump sum of £143,000.
Norfolk GP Dr Malcolm Willis, who worked as normal, accused striking doctors of greed.
:: Doctors argue for and against strike
He told Sky News: "I find it shocking - as do most of the patients I talk to - that any doctor would ever think of taking industrial action that might harm them or inconvenience them.
"They trust us and this is breaking the trust."
The British Medical Association has not ruled out further action.
But Mr Lansley has refused to renegotiate, saying: "What they can't do is go out on their own and think that by issuing threats or taking strike action they will prejudice the deal for other members of NHS staff in order to secure a better deal for doctors alone."
Hospitals will now have to fit the backlog of patients from the strike into clinics that are already busy.
Mr Lansley has said up to 1.25 million GP appointments will be pushed into the days and weeks following the action.

Introduction: The Washington Post had an opinion article last week on the conviction of the former Defense Minister of Moldova on corruption charges. E. Wayne Merry, a former assistant to President Clinton's Secretary of Defense William Cohen, argues that the charges against Valeriu Pasat are bogus and that a "friend of America" is being unjustly sentenced to prison and hard labor. Read the story below, and for the education of our readers, we have asked Michael Averko to provide some background on the tiny former Soviet republic of Moldova.
- The Editors
Moldova: The Most Overlooked of the European Former Soviet Republics
By Michael Averko
Sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, the former Soviet republic of Moldova is often overlooked. Its tiny population (of about four and a half million), poverty (the poorest of the European former Soviet republics) and relative lack of natural resources doesn't make it as noteworthy as the much larger Ukraine and the considerably wealthier Baltic republics. Because of its perceived bad boy president (Alexander Lukashenko), Belarus is another European former Soviet republic receiving greater attention than Moldova.
It's commonplace for scholars to reference the Soviet seizure of the three Baltic republics without noting how Moldova was gobbled up from Romania by Stalin in the same year (1939). The Moldovans are ethnic Romanians with a distinct regional character (namely, an accented version of the Romanian language).
When the USSR broke up, border disputes erupted in several former Soviet republics on the matter of what was and wasn't acceptable about the Soviet legacy. No one asked Moldova to become part of the Soviet Union as the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (Moldavia is the Russified name of Moldova). Conversely, the Russo-Ukrainian population of Trans-Dniester didn't ask to be incorporated into the Moldavian SSR (Trans-Dniester was previously an autonomous region of the Ukrainian SSR).
On this basis, Trans-Dniester's Slavic majority felt justified in declaring independence from a Communist-created entity. Their justification for this separation was hypocritically overlooked, if not frowned upon by some of the very same American foreign policy elites who are sympathetic to the idea of an independent Chechnya. For a variety of reasons the "case" for Chechen independence is much weaker than Trans-Dniester's. Chechnya has been a part of Russia for well over a century and is land locked within Russia. When it comes to the former Soviet Union, the double standard of independence advocacy is premised on a simple formula. If you're pro-Russian like the people of Trans-Dniester, then your right to self determination is deemed as troublesome. However, if you're hostile to Russia like the Chechen separatists, your case will receive a greater degree of favorable treatment.
Upon the breakup of the Soviet Union, a brief war was fought between the Moldovan government and the Trans-Dniester region. A Russian brokered cease-fire arrangement has effectively created two zones, with Moldova proper having little if any control over Trans-Dniester, which has its own elected government and armed forces.
Surprisingly, the ethnic tensions between ethnic Romanians and Slavs aren't as great as one might think. Trans-Dniester's population includes a good number of ethnic Romanians (up to 40%). Whether in Moldova proper or Trans-Dniester, there're ethnic Romanians favoring closer relations with Russia for economic reasons. The governments of Trans-Dniester and Moldova pit two political factions against each other, each one having a noticeable share of Slavs and ethnic Romanians. Hence, the political differences have less to do with ethnicity when compared to some other conflicts in the former USSR (the Armenian-Azeri dispute over Nagorno Karabakh being a prime example).
In Moldova proper, Moldovan Communist Party leader Vladimir Voronin was recently reelected as president. Voronin makes for an interesting case study. An ethnic Russian from Trans-Dniester - he only recently (within the past two years) changed his tune on Moldova's relationship with Russia. The "new" Voronin has walked away from the proposed Common Economic Sphere which currently involves Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, with an interested Ukraine observing for the moment. Voronin now champions Moldovan entry into NATO and the EU.
In a recent study, the British Helsinki Human Rights Group believes Trans-Dniester to be better off than Moldova proper. The issue of Moldova is a politically murky one that isn't so easy to spin in a given direction.
Voronin can talk all he wants about bringing Moldova into the EU and NATO. Moldova's extreme poverty (by European standards) will keep it out of the EU for quite some time. NATO membership for Moldova is technically impossible because a prospective NATO country is expected to have securely governed boundaries (something not evident in the ongoing spat between Moldova proper and Trans-Dniester).
Yes, Mother Russia is the major power broker in this part of Europe, with neighboring Ukraine playing an important role as well. Slowly but surely, Russia is positively rebuilding itself after decades of Communist mismanagement. Over time, this Russian resurgence will likely attract some non-Russian Federation parts of the former Soviet Union to Russia (one can already find evidence of this). Moldova might eventually take this route.
As I've previously noted in commentary for Russia Blog and other venues - as long as this process is peaceful and popular, the West should take a hands off approach. The economic vitality of that part of the world is important to the West's own security. I conclude with this open question: Has the "divide and conquer" strategy of surrounding Russia with unfriendly states worked in better maintaining Western interests?

America Abandons a Friend
Washington Post, February 25, 2006
America Abandons a Friend
By E. Wayne MerryAn obscure arms deal from nine years ago has produced a major human rights case in the former Soviet country of Moldova, challenging the U.S. government to stand up for its own good name as well as for the rule of law.
The case centers on the conviction Jan. 16 of the former Moldovan defense minister, Valeriu Pasat, and his sentence to 10 years in a hard-labor penal camp. Pasat's ostensible offense was to sell 21 MiG-29 fighter aircraft to the Pentagon in 1997 for $40 million. The prosecution alleged the planes were worth $55 million more and thus Pasat was guilty of malfeasance. The trial also implied that the United States had swindled Moldova in the transaction. These accusations are false.
I was the official in the Office of the Secretary of Defense most closely involved in the MiG purchase from its inception, on several occasions negotiating directly with Pasat in the Moldovan capital, Chisinau. Pasat was a stubborn and difficult interlocutor who prolonged the bargaining for months to gain more compensation for his country. In the event, the transaction was an entirely fair one for both sides. The additional $55 million supposedly available from another potential customer (widely identified as Iran) was phantom money, something understood by all responsible Moldovan officials engaged in the matter. In fact, some in the U.S. government believed we overpaid for the aging aircraft. In any case, the final decision on the Moldovan side was made at the political level by the country's president and prime minister, not by Pasat.
The facts of the case were made available to the Moldovan court by the person who was U.S. ambassador in Chisinau at the time and by me, in legal depositions that were cleared by the State Department and, in my case, by the Pentagon. But the secret Moldovan tribunal created for this trial refused to admit these depositions or any factual evidence favorable to the defendant. All proceedings were conducted with minimal legal accommodation for Pasat. On their face, the verdict and sentence are scandalous and redolent of Soviet political trials at their worst.
The true essence of this case is that Pasat, at the time of his arrest, was employed by the Russian Unified Energy Systems company and was also an active member of the domestic political opposition to the present Communist Party government in Moldova. I have been involved with Moldova in various capacities for over 20 years and consider Pasat to be a political prisoner and a hostage in the energy disputes between Chisinau and Moscow. Whatever sympathy and support Western countries might tender toward Moldova in its unequal contest with Russia should be tempered by recognition of the Soviet-style abuse of judicial power employed in this case.
In time Pasat may find justice from the European Court of Human Rights, which would at least consider the publicly available evidence. But in that time he might suffer irreparable damage to his health -- already poor -- from the conditions of his hard-labor imprisonment.
Moldova considers itself an ultimate candidate for membership in the European Union. At minimum, then, European governments should intervene with Chisinau in support of the basic standards of human rights and civil protections required of any country seeking inclusion in Europe.
Thus far the United States has walked by on the other side in this shameful affair. Neither the State Department nor the Defense Department has spoken out on behalf of Pasat -- once an honored guest here of then-Defense Secretary William Cohen. This may be so in part because the MiG purchase was conducted by the previous administration and in part because Washington correctly supports Chisinau against Moscow on the matter of the secessionist Transnistria region of eastern Moldova.
But this silence makes a mockery of the administration's supposed support for the rule of law in former Soviet states. It gives implicit confirmation to the notion that we defrauded a poor country in an arms transaction. And, finally, it communicates to similar officials in other countries that if they deal with the United States in good faith -- as Pasat did -- and the domestic political landscape changes, Washington will wash its hands of its former partners.
This case is not only about civil liberties and justice in Moldova; it is also about the honor of the United States.

Even with Garmin's odd naming conventions, it seemed predictable that the company that brought us the G1000 (in 2004) and the G3000 (in 2009) was likely working on something in between. The famously secretive firm is now unveiling the G2000—a two-box PFD/MFD combination with a touch-screen flight management system (FMS) aimed at new, high-end piston aircraft.

In the rapidly changing avionics world, the lifespan for new products can sometimes be measured in weeks or months before they are supplanted by newer technology. So the fact that Garmin's GNS 430/530 series has been at the forefront of general aviation instrument panels for more than a dozen years is a remarkable achievement.

Before the Opening: What You Should Know About 'You Like This'
Last spring, the Museum called for the community's help in curating an upcoming exhibition. Now fall is here and it's time to see the end result in the exhibition You Like This: A Democratic Approach to the Museum Collection. But before you see the art, there are some things you'll want to know about this special exhibition.
The process began about six months ago with an idea to "crowdsource" an exhibition. The crowdsourcing phenomenon uses large groups of people to create new ideas and projects. The first step for our process was to create an initial survey to decide which types of art and artists the Fargo – Moorhead community calls their favorites. Museum staff worked with a group of community members to narrow down the works of art to a more manageable number using the guidelines from the initial survey. After that, the public voted again in a final survey we posted online in July. Then, we called back the community curators after the final selections were made to choose how the works will be displayed when You Like This opens.
The last two community curating meetings were spent discussing general layout ideas like color choices, framing, and organization of the art. Curators liked the idea that the voting and interaction with the exhibition didn't stop at the opening, so they brainstormed ways to take in more votes. During the exhibition, visitors are encouraged to interact with You Like This in a few different ways:
- Ballot boxes in the gallery will allow you to vote up or down on specific works of art;
- A comment wall in the gallery will capture your thoughts on the exhibition or specific works of art;
- Interactions through Facebook and Twitter will allow you to connect with others and leave comments;
- An email address is available for you to send your thoughts and comments.
To hear more from our community curators, check out a short video of what they thought of the You Like This process.
You can probably tell that technology played a large role in this process, and it really has! The Museum learned a lot of interesting things by analyzing the data we collected, and technology also makes it easy for us all to communicate and discuss our opinions. If you don't have a mobile device to use in the gallery, don't worry – we'll have a form you can take home so you can respond at your convenience. After we've generated enough comments and votes, the polls will be re-evaluated and each piece's ranking will change according to the results.
The You Like This opening reception will be 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6 in the Jane L. Stern Gallery and will have refreshments, cash bar, and music by local ambient-rock group Opinions About Dinosaurs. Admission is free for members, $10 for nonmembers and $5 for students.
The Mothers of Invention Exhibition Series
(The following is excerpted from the exhibition catalog for See Acts of Audacious Daring: The Circus World of Judy Onofrio, opening September 25. Copies of the catalog are available at the Plains Art Museum store. - ed.)
With See Acts of Audacious Daring! The Circus World of Judy Onofrio, Plains Art Museum initiates the ongoing exhibition series Mothers of Invention.
This series will periodically present solo exhibitions of important artists from our region who belong to a generation of women who contributed to opening up the art world since the 1970s. These women came of age artistically in the 1960s and 1970s and now are in their sixties, seventies, and even eighties. They are part of a national and international movement of women who insisted on being taken seriously as artists and courageously endeavored to break into what had been predominantly male terrain. They made art, formed collectives, started galleries, taught at art schools, and gave each other critical and moral support to dismantle the barriers that had existed against women in the visual arts. They changed the art world profoundly, altering ideas about the canon of art history and the meaning of terms such as "masterpiece," "artist," "gaze," and "body," as well as expanding what could be considered acceptable art materials, subjects, imagery, and boundaries between art forms. Their impact has spread throughout art and culture and is not confined to their own or other women's work. Indeed, this generation deserves the accolade Mothers of Invention.
Many are, in fact, mothers, a position formerly perceived as an impediment to a woman's potential as a creative artist. Motherhood was conventional and pulled back toward traditional expectations for females; art was considered a male domain, where creative minds and spirits were unbound by domestic responsibilities or the constraints of child rearing. While most artists featured in Mothers of Invention are mothers (as is our first artist in the series, Judy Onofrio), maternity is not necessarily the subject of their art, even though it is a significant element of their lives.
Onofrio and others were interested in inventing their lives in ways that contradicted societal expectations. Amid the constrictions of the early twentieth century, Sigmund Freud had declared that "biology is destiny": women created babies while men created art and culture. Much about Freud's ideas and research has since been discredited or called into question.
Mothers of Invention proves that women can be mothers and artists, nurturing and creative; these terms are not mutually exclusive. Our series points primarily to the fact that these artists have been influential on all of us–as viewers, as art lovers, as artists of all genres and genders. They have given birth, in other words, to the expanded art world that we live in today and sometimes take for granted.
Plains Art Museum is proud to recognize this generation of women artists at an advanced stage of their careers. Our goal is to acquaint new audiences with their work and to remind those who may have seen their earlier art that they are still active, still vital, still experimenting. Not conceived as retrospectives of an artist's work, the exhibitions in Mothers of Invention will be singularly shaped by the approach of the curator of each project, who will collaborate closely with the artist. These women and their art deserve continuing critical and popular attention and ongoing visibility, which solo exhibitions and catalogue publications can ensure. The Mothers of Invention series thus strives to prevent the erasure of these women from the art historical record, something that has happened repeatedly over the centuries and requires diligent art historians to recover, as we have appreciated recently with rediscovered artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi from seventeenth-century Italy, expanded research on the nineteenth-century American Mary Cassatt, and, closer to home, new documentation on twentieth-century Minnesota artists Wanda Gág and Clara Mairs.
It is fitting to launch Mothers of Invention with the big, bold work of Judy Onofrio, specifically her sculptures that explore the enthusiasm and metaphorical potential of circus acrobats, magicians, and animal trainers.
Onofrio is an iconoclast, breaking rules of the art world right and left, championing outsiders and claiming territory for self-education, women's expressions, and the value of folk art and common objects. Based in Rochester, Minnesota, and now in her early seventies, Onofrio performs her own "acts of audacious daring" in her work and career. An ardent and largely self-educated student of life, material culture, and art, Onofrio has forged a dynamic career, with dozens of solo and group exhibitions and one of the highest honors for an artist based in Minnesota–the McKnight Distinguished Artist, awarded in 2005.
Judy Onofrio's art expresses a generous spirit that reaches out to viewers. She embraces a populism of image and material that offers a good deal of pleasure and makes her work particularly enjoyable to broad audiences.
Today, her over-the-top inventive use of materials and labor-intensive methods resonate with younger artists who have discovered the rich associations of folk arts and crafts.9 At the same time that she revels in materials, Onofrio offers philosophical wisdom in physical form. Shouldn't we all attempt acts of audacious daring, like the acrobat in the sculpture of that title? Isn't that what life is for–living to the utmost? Who among us doesn't feel like we have jumped through a ring of fire, or would like to pull off a magic trick, real or metaphorical? Sometimes life calls for such boldness. In Onofrio's oeuvre, extraordinary figures stand in for all of us facing the many challenges of life. May we be brave enough to approach our own challenges with the confidence and aplomb of Onofrio's characters.
A Three-Ring Circus
This past Sunday, we had a rollicking opening reception for our new exhibition See Acts of Audacious Daring: The Circus World of Judy Onofrio. Hundreds showed up to see this incredible exhibition for the first time, eat circus food, and enjoy a magic show, balloon animals, and face painting. Our staff and volunteers got decked out in clown costumes, plus a stilt walker and acrobats entertained the crowd. It probably goes without saying, but it was a lot of fun.

PAM Highlights: Judy Onofrio
As we prepare to welcome the new exhibition, See Acts of Audacious Daring! The Circus World of Judy Onofrio September 25, there's been excitement in the air at the Museum. With the opening reception complete with circus performers, peanuts, popcorn, and a pet show, not to mention the chance to see Judy Onofrio's imaginative mixed media sculptures right here in Fargo, who can blame us? In fact, there's even an opportunity to travel to the artist's studio/home lovingly named "Judyland" in Rochester, Minn for a personal tour. So this leaves us wondering, what's the woman behind the art like? If you've seen any promotions for her exhibition, you may be expecting extravagant colors, textures and lots of sparkle, but you may be surprised to know that her other recent works feature unorthodox materials (like animal bones) as the main material.
A dedicated and passionate artist, Onofrio said in an interview with KSMQ, "I've always had sort of a 'collage mentality' of putting things together, I've always collected." This trait runs in her family. Her father, who was a three-star admiral, brought home exotic souvenirs from his international travels,and her great-aunt Trude was an artist and childhood role model to Onofrio who collected beads, jewels, trinkets, and other materials to use in her art. A lifelong artist, "I've basically been doing art since my feet hit Earth," Onofrio surrounds herself in her craft and has explored many different themes where her imagination can soar.
Browse all of her work at Onofrio's website and watch this video Onofrio did with KSMQ in "Judyland" to learn more about that bone art I mentioned earlier.
If you want to hear more from Onofrio, join us for an Artist Talk at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25 followed by the opening of See Acts of Audacious Daring! The Circus World of Judy Onofrio from 2 – 5 p.m. Admission is free to members, and $10 for nonmembers.
"You Like This" Community Curators Hold Final Meeting
The final vote for You Like This, a crowdsourcing exhibition of the Museum's permanent collection, came to a close last Tuesday, and our community curators met on Wednesday, August 3, and had the opportunity to discuss how that art should be hung in the gallery. The session began with presentations from Museum Director and CEO Colleen Sheehy and Director of Curatorial Affairs and Interpretation Megan Johnston. The two spoke on different creative exhibitions they had worked on and gave examples of how an art gallery doesn't always need to be a traditional, static environment. They encouraged the community curators to think about intentionality, rhythm, juxtaposition, narratives, and even the use of colored walls to aid in delivering their message.
The next thing to decide was, "what exactly is our message?" We had originally planned to have three community curating sessions with the last one designated to the curatorial elements of the exhibition, but we had so many ideas it was difficult to focus them into a theme. Some curators wanted to take a step further and be more hands-on with the details of the installation, a request that Museum staff was happy to oblige. After that was settled, the curators had more time to brainstorm broad ideas.
One of our curators thought it would be best to go around the table so everyone could voice one idea they thought should be involved in the display. Here are a few examples the group generated:
o Highlight the crowdsourcing element and clue people into the process
o Have some walls white, and others a solid color
o Delineation; something unexpected like displaying works at different angles and on different surfaces
o Incorporate the community's comments from the online survey into the exhibition
o Allow visitors to continue to vote (interactive)
o QR codes – sent to a discussion board and forum
o Different groupings of art using room dividers – "traditional" and moving to a funkier, more experimental area
o Using vinyl, stats and percentages in the display
Museum staff and some of the community curators will now use this information to organize and install the exhibition. Be sure to check out the exhibition October 6, 2011 – January 15, 2012 in Jane L. Stern Gallery and see what the Fargo-Moorhead community has generated through this crowdsourcing process.

Why Do We Call It Art?
(The following is a guest post by Loretta Cantieri, an artist and instructor at Minnesota State University Moorhead. Cantieri was guest curator for the exhibition Collectors Humble and Extraordinaire: The Herb and Dorothy Vogel Gift.)
"I do not like it, Sam I am, I do not like green eggs and ham." – Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham
Questions have arisen in regards to some of the work in the exhibition, Collectors Humble and Extraordinaire: The Herb and Dorothy Vogel Gift. Some wonder if it is truly art and others believe it is art, but are puzzled.
Sometimes an artwork does not meet our individual standards of aesthetics or our idea of what artwork should be. This often happens with contemporary and abstract work, so do not sweat it, you have lots of company. The lack of recognizable imagery, the imagined lack of artistic skill or the use non-tradtional materials and methods have all been commented about in the Vogel guest book.
It might help to move backward to move forward.
Since the early Renaissance, traditions developed in Western art which have included accurately depicting recognizable images (such as gods, goddesses, saints, sinners, portraits, kings, dead rabbits, and dogs to name a few) and along with this was a narrative or a story to be understood in the painting or sculpture. Change has been a constant characteristic in artworks and so have disagreements. Painters have disagreed about the appropriate handling of the paint, how to make brushstrokes (visible or invisible), use of colors, and correct subject matter. Regardless, for about four hundred years viewers could recognize the subject matter. By year 500 (late 19th to early 20th century) dramatic changes happened. The Impressionists broke up the brushstroke, the Fauves turned faces blue and orange and the Constructivists sought purity by painting rectangles or squares.
What is a viewer to do? Where is constancy and tradition? Frankly, the 20th century was difficult for both artist and audience. Early on, abstraction became part of modern art's vocabulary and by the '60s, artists painted on found objects (cardboard or pipes), sculpted with peanut shells or wire, and eventually came to believe 500 notebook pages of gestural watercolor "drawings" were art. Concepts and non-tradtional materials became the new traditon. Also, drawing was no longer seen as a prepatory medium, but rather an essential process equal to painting. Why did they break the rules? Why should we look? How should we look?
We are caught in the "I-Don't-Get-It Aesthetic," an expression coined by art critic Jerry Saltz. What if art is not user friendly or it makes us feel agitated or uncomfortable? The late curator and founder of the New Museum, Marcia Tucker, said "If people gave art just the same amount of courtesy, respect, and time that they gave new people they meet, I suspect things would be a lot better."
So to better enjoy life and your contemporary art experiences it is best not to rush to judgement. One would not tell a new acquaitance, "you are strange" or "you are not a real person." The art may be enigmatic but be polite and allow the perceived uncertainites and inadequecies to enthrall you. This newly fueled curiosity may invoke learning about aesthetics, artists and society, or politics and history. Your journey may not be predictable or linear, but you could learn a lot about yourself, the visual world, and the complexity of relationships.
Some questions to consider:
- Can it only be Art if it is made to survive the next millennium?
- Does everyone have to understand it for it to be good?
- How does the iconography of contemporary art differ from the art of the Renaissance?
- What if an artist formally trained in different mediums and visual elements like proportion, volume, light and color does not use his or her training in an obvious way?
- Can your emotions or response be part of the piece?
- Can the ideas and processes an artist uses be art or visible in the artwork?
- How do uncertainty and unpredictability influence the artist?
'You Like This' Moves to an Online Vote
Our crowdsourcing project and exhibition You Like This: A Democratic Approach to the Permanent Collection moved on into phase two during the month of June. After we compiled the results of an online survey from phase one, we brought in a group of "community curators" to analyze those results and offer their opinions on how to condense down our permanent collection into a manageable number for a final vote on the specific works of art that will comprise the final exhibition.
The community curator meetings were full of debate and enthusiasm. Aside from crunching the data from the survey, the curators were also asked to help define their own role in this process and discuss what they would like to see in the gallery at the end of this process. They had a number of fantastic ideas and things to consider once this project finally becomes an exhibition. Here's an overview:
- The curators expressed concern that certain categories of art may not be represented in the final vote because of their low level of support in the initial survey.
- There was plenty of discussion around keeping gender balance in the selection of artworks.
- A couple curators wanted to see some "old friends," works in our collection that haven't been shown in a while. Others wanted "surprising" pieces, ones that may not have been shown often but would be exciting nonetheless.
- The majority of the discussion – and the most passionate – surrounded the opportunity the curators have in terms of the interpretation and presentation of the You Like This show and project. The curators discussed the use of innovative ways to allow viewers to comment on works of art, different approaches to arranging works on the wall, and the use of other local talent (musicians, writers, architects, etc.) in the interpretation of the exhibition. They stressed that they'd like to offer viewers the opportunity to view works in an unconventional way and lend the opportunity for viewers' self exploration.
- Curators also recommended using comments from the You Like This process in some way in the exhibition, either through audio or text.
The second curator meeting was a little more straightforward. After listening to their recommendations, Museum Collections Director Mark Ryan pushed our collection database through a few search parameters and presented the curators with an overview of the resulting works of art. They voted on each work individually and also discussed the overall presentation of works for the final vote.
The result? Seventy-five works of art that will be voted on by the public, with the top vote getters making the cut for the exhibition. Voting is now open, so head over, vote, and be sure to leave your comments as well.
That's a Big Picnic Table
Artist Jon Offutt (above) puts the finishing touches on his new creation: a giant picnic table that will be part of our Big Country: FMVA Scale the Plains exhibition. Big Country, opening next week, is comprised entirely of large-scale works by 13 FMVA artists. Offutt, who usually spends his time creating blown-glass objects, jumped at the chance to create this picnic table and bring to fruition an idea he's had for some time.
So, why a big picnic table? Well, remember what it was like when you were, say, five or six years old and sitting at a table with your family? This is Jon's attempt to recapture that feeling – your feet dangling over the edge, your eyes barely able to see the objects on the table, etc. The effect is convincing:
'You Like This' Community Curating Sessions Begin
The results are in! Thanks to all who took the You Like This: A Democratic Approach to the Museum Collection initial survey last month. This survey was the first step in crowdsourcing a community exhibition of the Museum's permanent collection. To learn more about the process, view this fun paper puppet video courtesy of our Museum staff.
The survey asked you to rank your interest pertaining to the art we will feature in the exhibition: types of objects, artists, and modes of art. The top responses for types of objects you'd like to see were paintings, with mixed media work in a close second. The popular responses for what you don't want to see in this category were historical toys and West African objects. Note taken! Your votes also showed that you're supportive of most artists' work, but the favorites were focused on female and local artists. For modes of artwork, the popular vote was in modern/recent works, and the least popular was still life.
Detailed data from the survey and your specific comments will now shape the community curating sessions (phase two of the You Like This process), the first of which was held last week. Eight volunteer community members will meet over the summer months to discuss the survey data and work with Museum staff to learn just what exactly goes into curating an exhibition. Their job is to narrow down the 3,500 objects in the Museum's collection down to a more manageable number. After that, we will post a final survey for you to handpick each piece of art to feature in the exhibition.
During these curating sessions, we'll be recording video, audio, and snapping photos that will be posted online and actually using in the exhibition itself. Check out the You Like This discussion page on Facebook and keep an eye on the Museum Blog for a deeper look into the process, sneak peeks at the footage we gather, and join in on the conversation! All ideas are welcome. This is your exhibition for your community.
Learn More About Herbert and Dorothy Vogel
Last week, we opened Collectors Humble and Extraordinaire: The Herbert and Dorothy Vogel in Fred J. Donath Gallery. In it, we're showing 50 works that were once part of the collection of contemporary art aficionados Herb and Dorothy Vogel, a husband and wife duo who spent most of their lives frequenting galleries and artist studios while amassing a collection of over 4,700 objects in the process (by comparison, here at the PAM our permanent collection numbers around 3,500 objects). This isn't so out of the ordinary until you consider that the Vogels fit all of this art into a one-bedroom New York apartment and purchased all of it on modest incomes. The story then shifts from their impressive collection to the Vogels themselves, two acute observers who display a dedication to collecting that is a rare commodity in the often-cynical world of art.
Here are some resources to help you learn more about these extraordinary collectors.
- By far, the best document of the Vogels' collecting life is the 2009 Megumi Sasaki documentary Herb and Dorothy. Sasaki explores how the Vogels see art – how intensely Herb views a painting, for example – and peeks into their personal life. A completely devoted and loving couple, their passion for each other shines through in this film at least as much as their passion for art. The film can be viewed in the Donath Gallery during the run of the Vogel exhibition. You can also view clips from the film at pbs.org or on YouTube. Herb and Dorothy also streams on Netflix.
- Visit vogel505o.org to learn about the Vogel 50×50 program instituted by the National Gallery of Art in 2008. The Vogels donated 2,500 works of art to the National Gallery which, in turn, were distributed to a museum in each state. The 50 works in Collectors Humble and Extraordinaire came to Plains Art Museum through this program.
- In their heyday, Herb and Dorothy weren't just collecting art – they were influencing artists and institutions through their collecting. This 1975 article from New York Magazine is a record of that influence. Herb and Dorothy are also mentioned in this 1978 New York Magazine article documenting the tensions between New York artists and collectors in the late 70s.
- Herb and Dorothy Vogel have a Facebook page. It's not incredibly active, but you can read warm regards from some of their fans and, of course, leave your own.

A Co-Production between Acting Like Mad and Theatrical Niche Ltd
A new version of William Shakespeare's play by Sebastian Rex
Thursday 17 October, 7.30pm
Free pre-show talk from 6.30pm
Shakespeare's supernatural tragedy is presented in a nightmarish new reading by Sebastian Rex. A violence of sleep-deprivation and guilt are brought to life using choreography, physical theatre and an acerbic new voice. The themes of greed and megalomania are showcased in the original Shakespearean language with modern-day additions; as a timeless Macbeth feels the vice-like grip of past sins, and the harrowing consequences of murdering sleep.
Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep" - the innocent sleep
Reality and hallucination merge in this astonishing piece of theatre.
"A writer with a distinct and intriguing vision" (Jeremy Kingston of The Times)
"Visionary Director" (Views from the Gods)
"This company is one to watch, definitely" (The Public Reviews)
~ Contains some violence. Suitable for ages 12+

Persistent snow showers today will linger into the evening hours. There could be some possible heavy snow squalls this afternoon with snow accumulations around 1-2" for the valleys and upwards of 3-4" in elevations at 2000' and above. Ski enthusiasts rejoice, as snow will be in the forecast straight through until Friday night. An arctic front will plunge South from Canada dragging with it very cold temperatures. Overnight lows from today until the weekend will range anywhere from 0-7 degrees. It is going to be the coldest weather we've seen all season. The front will bring with it some snow flurries and showers. Finally, we might have a system moving up the coast for your weekend providing what looks like to be light snow right now, but depending on the track we may see a more moderate snowfall. One thing is for sure, is that temperatures will be suitable for snow! Take it easy if you're on the roads today as conditions may be slick through the evening.

Washington State Sales Tax Deduction Dropped Again from U.S. Senate Bill
Dropped from the US Senate Bill passed last Thursday to reduce the alternative minimum tax that would have affected millions of taxpayers, was a provision that allows Washington State taxpayers to deduct their sales tax from their Federal income tax. Washington taxpayers will still be able to deduct 2007 sales taxes but not their 2008 sales taxes, because the current deduction will expire this year.
"As the senators wrangled over the AMT on Thursday, they dropped a provision that would allow residents of Washington and seven other states to continue deducting their sales taxes from their federal income tax.
Without that provision, residents will be able to deduct sales taxes when they file their 2007 federal income taxes in April. But then the tax deduction would expire.
Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, both Democrats, and Rep. Brian Baird, D-Vancouver, had been pushing bills to make the sales-tax deduction permanent, or at least extend it two more years.
Lawmakers from Washington and the seven other states with sales-tax deductions will try to pass a quick fix later this month or in January, a spokeswoman for Cantwell said."
We're not talking peanuts here. An analysis released by Senator Cantwell's and Representative Brian Baird's office notes that:
"The Congressional Research Service estimates that Washington state taxpayers who itemize and who claim the sales tax deduction will realize tax savings of more than $557 million.[iv] In 2005, 37 percent of the nearly three million tax filers in Washington state chose to itemize, and 83 percent of those itemizers claimed the state sales tax deduction.[v] That year, the $2 billion that Washington state taxpayers claimed in tax deductions translated into $557 million in tax savings that went right into the pockets of Washington state residents. Congressional Research Service estimates indicate that each Washington state taxpayer who used the state sales tax deduction saved an average of $600 in 2005."
The fact is that states which have a state income tax can deduct this on their Federal income tax. Washington state has no income tax. As Cantwell's office notes:
"In most states, taxpayers who claim itemized deductions on their federal income tax returns can claim a deduction for state income taxes paid. The purpose of this deduction is to prevent the double taxation of funds that are used to finance state services. However, from 1986 until 2004, residents of eight states that have no income tax but which finance their state services using a sales tax, were denied a Federal deduction for these state taxes. In 2004, Congress passed legislation to temporarily restore the deduction for state and local sales tax, thus restoring parity in the federal Income tax code for residents in those states without an income tax. Unless legislation is passed to extend this deduction, it will expire at the end of 2007." …
"Without the state sales tax deduction, non-income tax states would be able to deduct only 36.6 percent of the state and local taxes they pay, all of which comes from property taxes. States with an income tax, by comparison, would be able to deduct 56.1 percent.[vi] This means that taxpayers who file in states with an income tax can expect to save substantially more than those who reside in the states without state income taxes. In 2004, Deductions from state and local income tax claimed on federal income tax forms totaled $202.3 billion.[vii] "
If Cantwell, Murray, Baird and the rest of the Congressional delegation are not successful in re-enacting the state sales tax deduction on Federal income tax returns for next year, the overall tax burden on Washington taxpayers will go up.
Of course this would increase citizen pressure for tax reform in Washington state. A state income tax coupled with a reduction in sales taxes and property taxes would both produce a less regressive state tax system and also allow for the ability of Washington State taxpayers to deduct their state income tax from their Federal income tax.
A state income tax is a fairer tax than sales taxes and property taxes which you have to pay whether you are working or not, whether you are retired or not and whether you have any income or not. But you only pay an income tax if you have income.

2 Responses to Washington State Sales Tax Deduction Dropped Again from U.S. Senate Bill
Daniel Kirkdorffer says:
Perhaps it will take a few years of no sales tax deductions for things to change. Perhaps this is part of the multi-pronged stick we need to make movement toward real tax reform instead of yearly patches.
Robb says:
Tax reformation would be a great thing here in Washington State. The problem with saying a state income tax would be better or fairer than a sales tax is that while our state legislature is more than willing to add an income tax, they never say that they would eliminate (or even reduce) the sales tax.

I have a 120Gb PS3 Slim and it doesn't always eject the disc. This problem gets worse when the console heats up.
I know how to get the disc out but I want to know how to fix it. If I tilt the console or tap the PS3 the disc will eject.
Anyone out there had and fixed this problem yet?

(born Feb. 17, 1963, Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.) U.S. basketball player. As a freshman in 1982, he helped the University of North Carolina win the collegiate national championship. Drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984, he won 10 scoring h1s and 5 Most Valuable Player awards while leading the Bulls to six championships (1991–93, 1996–98). He was also part of the 1984 and 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball teams that won gold medals. He retired briefly in 1993, hoping to play professional baseball, but returned to the Bulls in 1995. He retired again in 1999, but, after a stint as an owner and general manager of the Washington Wizards, Jordan returned to play for that team in 2001. Known as "Air Jordan" for his exceptional leaping ability, he combined acrobatic play with a fierce competitive spirit and was considered among the game's greatest players. His success on the court and in the business world made him one of the most popular and recognized athletes of all time.

The Food Mill has been family owned and operated since 1993, though the store has been supplying organic and natural groceries since the '30s. More mom and pop than a supply stop on the Oregon Trail, The Food Mill carries the area's largest selection of bulk foods, vitamins, and supplements, as well as an extensive selection of organic produce. Pick up packaged pastas and Japanese food products alongside packaged nuts and top it all with allspice, cayenne pepper, and other spices. Gluten-free and specialty foods are found in abundance, as well as extremely helpful staff members (not for sale). They can help you round up the ingredients for a recipe or point you toward the supplement best suited for treating trench foot.
In 1976, two UC Davis graduate students bought 20 acres of land in the highly arable Capay Valley. One of the students, Kathleen Barsotti, was working toward her master's degree in ecology and was determined to grow vegetables and fruits in an eco-friendly way: organically. The organic-food movement hadn't yet entered the public consciousness, and Kathleen worked overtime to convince restaurants, stores, and consumers of the taste-able merits of her process. Over time, given the possible health and environmental benefits of certified organic food, she succeeded. The farm sprouted to 300 acres to accommodate the increased demand. Today, a second generation runs the farm as well as a shop inside San Francisco's Ferry Building. Dubbed Farm Fresh To You, the store furnishes customers' bags or portable cornucopia horns with all sorts of soil-sprouted goods, including heirloom tomatoes, sweet peas, and fresh asparagus. The farm also teams up with fellow Yolo County and Pacific Northwest farms to deliver boxes of seasonal produce to area homes.
In the past five years, City Sightseeing tour company has shuttled 1.5 million passengers around San Francisco in signature double-decker, open-top tour buses. Within the city itself, four different routes wend through various neighborhoods and past iconic landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Danny Tanner's favorite grocery store. Outside the city, tours also run to Muir Woods, wine country, the picturesque towns of Monterey and Carmel, and Yosemite National Park.
Every day, San Francisco Soup Company's chefs craft crunchy salads and approximately 12 soups from scratch, keeping an eye on sustainability and seasonality. Both salads and soups showcase organic and locally sourced ingredients such as produce from Durst Organic Farms and organic lettuce from Earthbound Farm, and soups cast tendrils of steam from biodegradable containers. San Francisco Soup Company's commitment to conscious dining extends to the nutritional realms: each recipe comes with nutrition stats, and the menu even designates which soups are gluten-, meat- and dairy-free, and which soup spoons best shield noses from affectionate pinches.

State Route 15 (SR 15) is a 346-mile-long (557 km) state highway that travels south-to-north across the entire length of the U.S. state of Georgia, east of its centerline. It connects the Florida state line, southeast of Folkston with the North Carolina state line, north-northeast of Dillard, via Vidalia, Sandersville, Athens, Demorest, and Clayton.
Route description[edit]
SR 15 enters Georgia just south of Folkston as a four-lane highway, along with US 1, US 23, US 301, and SR 4. Just north of Folkston, US 301 branches off to the north while the other four routes plus SR 121, head northwest. After about ten miles, State Routes 15 and 121 also branch off from US 1/US 23/SR 4, as a two-lane highway, crossing US 82/SR 520 (South Georgia Parkway) in Hoboken. The two state routes continue northwest through Blackshear, where they cross US 84. After that, the two state routes continue to stay together, heading north through the community of Bristol. Soon after, SR 121 branches off to the north while SR 15 heads northwest to rejoin US 1 and SR 4 at Baxley. North of Baxley, the three routes continue, remaining a four-lane highway all the way to the Altamaha River. Approximately ten miles past the river crossing, SR 15 branches off to the northwest again, where SR 29 begins and follows SR 15. At Vidalia, State Routes 15 and 29 turn west and follow US 280 for several miles to the community of Higgston. The two routes head north from there through the community of Tarrytown and then on to Soperton. SR 29 heads northwest of Soperton while SR 15, along with SR 78, continues north, intersecting with I-16, and goes to Adrian. The two state routes continue northwest to Wrightsville, where SR 78 departs eastward. SR 15 continues by itself through the adjacent cities of Tennille and Sandersville. Through these cites, most of SR 15 has been widened to four lanes, and it briefly picks up SR 24. North of Sandersville, SR 15 crosses the Fall Line Freeway and then heads north through the community of Warthen and onto Sparta. Through Sparta, SR 15 makes a few turns, briefly picking up SR 16 and SR 22. North of Sparta, it picks up SR 77, and continues north through White Plains and Siloam. At Siloam, SR 77 departs to the north while SR 15 continues northwest to Greensboro, passing beneath I-20, but without direct access. In Greensboro, SR 15 makes two more turns, briefly following US 278 through downtown. SR 15 continues northwest to Watkinsville, after which it joins US 441 and remain together as a mostly four-lane highway throughout the rest of their course in Georgia.
The two routes, along with several others, circle around the east side of Athens along the Athens Perimeter freeway and head north through the town of Nicholson and around the east side of Commerce via a bypass. The highways then interchange with I-85, and head between the towns of Baldwin and Cornelia, where they become a limited access freeway for a short time and rejoin US 23. The three routes remain together and head through the cities of Tallulah Falls, Clayton, and Dillard before crossing into North Carolina.
The entire length of SR 15 is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[2][3]

State Route 15 Alternate | |
Location: | Athens–Commerce |
Length: | 31.7 mi[4] (51.0 km) |
State Route 15 Alternate (SR 15 ALT) is a series of streets, roads, and highways that form a north–south-oriented route in two counties of the northeastern part of the state of Georgia. This route's southern terminus is in Athens at the intersection of US 441/SR 15 and SR 10 Loop (locally known as "The 10 Loop" or "Loop 10") and Macon Highway. This route eventually becomes Milledge Avenue, and winds by the campus of the University of Georgia. This street features stately homes and mansions, some of which house college fraternities and sororities. As SR 15 ALT leaves Athens, it overlaps US 129, where it is known as Jefferson Road. Upon entering Jefferson, SR 15 ALT splits from US 129 and becomes an independent route. Its northern terminus is north of the city of Commerce at its intersection with US 441 (sometimes referred to as the Commerce Bypass) and SR 59.

The symptoms probably returned because he stopped taking the medicine. How long has he been taking citalopram for? I suppose once the anxiety is under control the tinnitus should resolve. Please discuss treatment options with his doctor to ensure his anxiety is under control.
Which Rx. did he take that helped with the ringing? I am also on anxiety meds. Have been for along time, ringing just started 2 months ago. It's driving me nuts!! Talk about anxiety !!! It is always ringing, never stops. Some day's are worse, but it never stops. Now do you stand it???
