Photography Show New York, one of the worlds most important annual photography events, will be held April 4-7, 2013, at the Park Avenue Armory. Presented by The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD), the fair is the longest-running and foremost exhibition of fine art photography.
More than 70 of the worlds leading fine art photography galleries will present a wide range of museum-quality work including contemporary, modern, and 19th-century photographs, as well as photo-based art, video, and new media. The 33rd edition of the show will commence with an opening night gala on April 3, 2013, to benefit inMotion, which provides free legal services to low-income women.
AIPAD continues to be at the forefront of the photography market, noted Catherine Edelman, President AIPAD, and Director, Catherine Edelman Gallery. Known for their scholarship and expertise, AIPAD galleries are shining light on extraordinary photographs by modern masters and emerging artists, images made in the last year by some of the most important artists working today, as well as relatively unknown work that is ripe for public exhibition. New and established photography collectors are anticipating another extraordinary exhibition.
Exhibitors will include galleries from across the U.S. and around the world, including Europe, Asia, and South America. Six galleries will exhibit at AIPAD for the first time: Brancolini Grimaldi, London; Fifty One Fine Art Photography, Antwerp; Klompching Gallery, Brooklyn; M97 Gallery, Shanghai; P.P.O.W., New York; and Sage Paris. An exhibitor list is available at aipad.com/photoshow.
A solo exhibition of work by James Welling will be exhibited by David Zwirner, New York. Welling has been questioning the norms of representation since the 1970s, exploring and experimenting with the elemental components of the photographic medium. His work is held in major museum collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, all in New York.
Lisa Sette Gallery, Scottsdale, will offer a one-person exhibition of work by British photographer Damion Berger, who was once as an assistant to Helmut Newton. Bergers recent series, Black Powder, documents firework celebrations from around the world. He uses glass plate negatives, multiple exposures, and unusual combinations of focus and aperture for the results, which are as dramatic as the pyrotechnic explosions.
A number of riveting portraits at AIPAD will be on view, including a series by Belgian artist Frieke Janssens entitled Smoking Kids. The digital chromogenic dye prints of children smoking were inspired by a YouTube video of a chain-smoking Indonesian toddler. As the artist notes, I felt that children smoking would have a surreal impact upon the viewer and compel them to truly see the acts of smoking, rather than making assumptions about the person doing the act. The work will be exhibited by Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago. No real cigarettes were used to make the images. Instead, chalk and sticks of cheese were used as props, while candles and incense provided the wisps of smoke.
P.P.O.W., New York, will offer portraits and work by Martha Wilson, Carolee Schneemann, and David Wojnarowicz, all of it inspired by the human body. M97 Gallery, Shanghai, will show portraits by Luo Dan, who uses the collodion wet plate photographic process invented in 1850. Spending several months traveling with a portable darkroom in remote and mountainous regions of Chinas southern Yunnan Province, Luo Dan depicts people living in Chinas undeveloped regions, where the way of life has remained largely intact for hundreds of years. Yu Xiaos surreal images of children from the 2012 Nursery Rhymes series will be shown at 798 Photo Gallery, Beijing.
Extraordinary landscapes from around the globe will on view at AIPAD, including work showing the effects of Hurricane Sandy. An image by Stephen Wilkes, of a roller coaster standing in the ocean at Seaside Heights, New Jersey, will be exhibited by Monroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe. Work by Matthew Brandt from his recent Lakes and Reservoirs series can be seen at Yossi Milo Gallery, New York. The L.A.-based artist photographs lakes and reservoirs around the western United States, then submerges each resulting C-print in water collected from the subject of the photograph. Matthew Brandts images are included in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Edward Burtynskys lifes work is to document humanitys impact on the planet, so when he shoots a photograph, it is often from an airplane or helicopter. His new riveting geometric aerial landscapes from the Texas Panhandle showing irrigation systems in the high plains will be exhibited by Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York.
Since 2005, Robert Burley has traveled across North America and Europe documenting the exteriors and interiors of the buildings that manufactured traditional film products such as Kodak and Polaroid. Burleys mastery of large-format photography is a fitting tribute to a once thriving industry laid quickly to waste by digital technology. The work will be on view at Stephen Bulger Gallery, Toronto, and can be seen in a new book, The Disappearance of Darkness, published by Ryerson Image Centre and Princeton Architectural Press.
A portrait by Mariana Cook of one of the worlds most prominent political prisoners, Aung San Suu Kyi, will be exhibited by Lee Marks Fine Art, Shelbyvile, IN. Cook traveled to Burma in 2011 shortly after the Nobel Peace Prize winner was freed from house arrest. The portrait will be included in the upcoming book Justice: Faces of the Human Rights Revolution by Cook, which captures pioneers of the human rights movement from around the globe.
Edward Westons The Marion Morgan Dancers, California, 1921, will be on view at Galerie Johannes Faber, Vienna. The elegant composition of the nude dancers was made in collaboration with Margrethe Mather whom Weston called the first important person in my life and reflects Westons early pictorialist style and Mathers sensitive eye. A pensive Frida Kahlo is the subject of Manuel Alvarez Bravos gelatin silver print from the 1940s at Throckmorton Fine Art, New York. Seydou Keïtas charming portrait Three Malian Women, 1957-60, will be offered by Charles Isaacs Photographs, Inc., New York. Keïta is considered to be the first generation of African photographers to cater to the needs of a populace that was transitioning from French-colonial governance to independence, experiencing population increases and economic growth.
Early work from the birth of photography will also be a highlight at AIPAD. James Hyman Photography, London, will focus on three great French photographers of the 19th century: Edouard Baldus, Gustave Le Gray, and Charles Negre. Hans P. Kraus Jr. Fine Photographs, New York, will show great masters of British and French 19th-century photography, including William Henry Fox Talbot, Linnaeus Tripe, and Gustave Le Gray.

A ridge of high pressure between two high pressure cells off the east and west coast will maintain a dry , mostly sunny and warm forecast for most of the continent well into next week. The exceptions to this are east coast of Queensland and the NSW coast.
An upper level low will weaken to an upper trough and move slowly east over the weekend before it strengthens again over the inland of Queensland. The moist onshore wind flow along the Queensland and northern New South Wales coast will continue over the weekend and trough next week. It is during the week that the deepening upper trough will increase instability and the potential for increasing showers along the Queensland and New South Wales coast with an offshore surface trough also developing. This has the potential to trigger some significant rainfall to parts of the coast although exact amounts are still uncertain. The Northern Rivers and Mid North Coast and Hunter are the areas likely to record some of the heaviest of the falls from about Tuesday.
A trough in the Coral Sea will also move closer to the northern Tropical coast of Queensland with the potential for several days of heavy falls anywhere north of about Innisfail. Parts of the northern coast of the Northern Territory and western coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria could also record some heavier falls with showers and thunderstorms from Tuesday.

Fantastic with Remote
By HUNTER4
from Weatherly, Pa.
This is the fourth Pentax point and shoot I have had since 1994. My main reason for going with Pentax was the Remote control. I don't know why all point and shoots don't have this option. I do a lot of hunting with dogs. To line them up and get the right shot is not happening with a 10 second timer. The ease of operation, and the ruggedness of this new WG-1 is way beyond expections. I bought my first Pentax IQ from Beach camera. It is still working perfectly regardless of the cold, wet, sloppy conditions I encountered on my hunts. This upgrade is just a new toy I had to have. I bought this as a bundle and I got everything as advertised. The folks at Beach Camera really are the best. I ordered my camera on Monday morning, and had it in my hands on Tuesday afternoon.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Longtime fans of "The Howard Stern Show" know about Robin Quivers' struggles with food-especially the high-fat, high-sugar, high-cholesterol, highly addictive foods that doomed many of her relatives to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As she recently discussed on The Howard Stern Show, she's also been fighting cancer for over a year and was recently told by her doctors that she is cancer free.
Even before the cancer diagnosis, Quivers knew it was time to take a stand in her personal nutrition battle and switch to a plant-based diet. It's a good thing she did. Quivers will be the first to tell you that her vegetable diet played a large role in allowing her body to be able to fight cancer. "My plant-based diet was helping my body heal," she writes. "I couldn't believe the difference I saw. I'd never had such a dramatic shift in my health – not when I was taking medication, not when I was wearing a neck brace, and certainly not when I was eating whatever I wanted… I no longer had to rearrange my entire life around being sick."
THE VEGUCATION OF ROBIN: How Real Food Saved My Life (Avery, Hardcover & Ebook) ? in stores October 1, 2013 ? takes readers on Quivers' sometimes rocky, though endearingly hysterical, path to newfound health thanks to a plant-based diet. Quivers builds an undeniable case that the key to living the life you've always wanted lies in your refrigerator. As she says, "If you want your body to work the way it's supposed to, you need to give it the nutrients it needs. The solution isn't in a pill; it's in what you eat."
Becoming "vegucated" is not a temporary fix so you can go back to doing whatever it was you were doing before. "Vegucation" is a lifestyle – it's is about getting back into the kitchen, embracing more of the foods that help you flourish, and filling your plates with hearty, scrumptious plants that really can change your life.
Robin teaches readers how eating for your health means letting your body finally revive and rebuild itself. Helping readers understand how food affects the way your body works, looks, and feels, she explains which foods hurt and which foods heal. So by the time she shares 90 of her favorite recipes (including a scrumptious vegan Chocolate Coconut Mousse, Spicy Cauliflower with Pimenton, and Green Bean and Nicoise Olive Salad), you'll be ready to look at the meals you eat in a whole new light.
THE VEGUCATION OF ROBIN describes Robin's transformation inside and out, and the power of the produce aisle with its soul-quenching, cell-loving vegetables. Robin Quivers puts a new face on the pro-veggie movement and inspires readers to take their health into their own hands.

My favorite sculpture on our field trip was a ring looking rock sculpture. It was really cool because it had 3 doors and they looked like they were smaller than the first one. But here is the trick they are all the same size. It also has like 100 windows it is alsome! I also like the steam sculpture. It is really cool to! The sculpture is connected to the steam pipe and all the steam comes out of the rocks at the bottom of the steam sculpture. That is my one of a kind favorite sculptures.

Allen only has eyes for the final... for now
3:24pm Friday 25th May 2012 in Sport
Leicester centre Anthony Allen is ready to seize his chance with England, but first wants to finish the season in style with a win over Harlequins in tomorrow's Aviva Premiership final.
The 25-year-old Southampton-born star was recalled by England boss Stuart Lancaster for next month's summer tour of South Africa after he enjoying some of the best form of his career.
Lancaster, who knows Allen well from his time in charge of the England Saxons, rewarded the former Gloucester back with a second chance at senior-level international rugby following a six-year hiatus since he won his two caps.
Allen is focussed on securing a place for the three Test matches against the Springboks and know that an impressive performance in the Premiership showpiece can only boost his chances.
"I'm looking forward to getting back and involved with England," Allen told Press Association Sport.
"It's been a while to getting properly involved and going on a tour.
"I've been with the Saxons and Stuey (Lancaster) and I know what he likes and what he's about and hopefully he will stick with what he's set out to do.
"I've worked hard and I've had some injuries this year but I've come back from them and I'm stronger and a better player."
Allen made his international debut against New Zealand under Andy Robinson in November 2006 but was then dropped after only his second game following a defeat by Argentina.
The former Trojans colt believes his time at the Tigers has transformed his game and made him a more complete player.
He said: "I think I'm much more well equipped. I've grown up a lot, especially coming to Leicester and learning a lot from (head coach) Matt O'Connor and what is needed at that high level.
"I'm certainly more equipped for it now than I certainly was five years ago.
"It's been a long while and I've been in and out of the squads since then but to get an actual proper shot hopefully this tour will have a positive outcome.
"You get a chance to go on tour and anything can happen. You've got to train hard, go hard, play well in the final and stay positive and really give it your best shot.
"Going on tour you've always got a shot. Inevitably there will be injuries and people picking up knocks while you're there so there's a good opportunity so I've just got to train hard and go well."
But first, Allen has his eyes firmly set on helping the Tigers to their fourth Premiership title in five seasons.
Saturday's clash with Quins at Twickenham will be Leicester's eighth successive final appearance and their 12th out of the last 14.
The Tigers reached the final after winning their last 11 games in all competitions - a remarkable feat considering they were languishing in 11th place early in the season with a large part of their squad away on World Cup duty.
"It's another final that we're in. It's a great achievement to the squad and for the club as a whole," Allen said.
"It's been tough with the World Cup at the beginning of the season because we were in 11th place in October and we've battled hard to get back to where we are.
"It's another game, it's at Twickenham and it's just over the road from Harlequins' home ground so they'll probably try to keep it as a normal home game.
"It will be tough and a massive game but if we get our detail right and train hard we'll give ourselves a good shot."

This is an eye catching Chevrolet, 2 dr hdtp that is going to get lots of looks when you drive it down the street.

The fans are thermostatically controlled and adjustable.The differential is a match for the overdrive transmission. The car has a vacuum-electric controlled a/c with the ducts at either end of the dash, similar to the factory setup. The distributor has been converted to a pointless one. The shifting column has been rebuilt and it shifts like a new one. All of the factory gauges work with the exception of the clock, which only works when it feels like it!There is an Auto-gauge tachometer and electric auxillary temperature gauge. The seats as well as the trunk are done in pleated naugahyde. The car has disc brakes on the front. The wheels are American Racing. This car is an excellent driver and is driven regularly.

Fox News has learned that al-Qaeda cell was infiltrated in this Clinton the seizure of the device similar to the underwear bomb worn by Nigerian -- -- -- -- The targeted flight 253 on Christmas Day in 2009.
At least three countries are involved in this ongoing intelligence operation and there is reason to believe more bonds may be out there -- The drone strikes Sunday in Yemen that targeted al-Qaeda operative thought -- -- who met with do we Tulloch is part of the ongoing operation focused on a -- al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
For instance the the killing of the they QAP leader of the weekend that was tied -- this operation so this is more than just one person one bomb.
This is a a larger scale operation.
The device now being analyzed by the FBI lab in Quantico Virginia is a gold mine of information.
Investigators are assessing whether the bomb maker -- Green Ellis -- has overcome the technical problems.
That led the first underwear -- it's detonator to -- in 2009.
-- Middle -- intelligence source tells fox that there is reason to believe the bomb makers actively training apprentices because the al-Qaeda network knows he is a tier one target.
Without going into the specifics so you know we have to assume -- What we have seen of al-Qaeda in the past.
Then they do train others to take up where they leave off because that may have seen the succession.
Of their top leadership.
Attacked successfully taken off the battlefield for good.
While the White House confirms the president knew in early April the Homeland Security secretary insists the device was not connected to events marking one year since the seal -- The statement was that there was no specific credible plot tied to the anniversary.
-- -- death.
And that was and is an accurate statement.
On Capitol Hill there are suggestions that homeland security and the FBI were undercut.
Because on the eve of the anniversary they issued a bulletin saying there was no credible plot -- the administration knew a device had been picked up.
It does not make sense to me that that -- attempt was put out if in -- the president has been aware of this putt.
Since last month.
So there does appear to be an inconsistency.
-- -- But perhaps it's a good reason -- at.
And they today the chair and ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee said the leak about the CIA operation is regarded as very serious.
At least one congressman is publicly calling for -- investigation.
So that will continue for some time well I got the FBI directors on the hill tomorrow thank.

G5, NO. 3 WWW.LOYOLAMAROON.COM FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2006 'Pathways' refined, approved By ALETHIA PICCIOLA THE MAROON University officials emphasize changing nature of plans goals. The "Pathways" plan was approved on May 19, but will continue to undergo changes upon yearly examination, university officials said. The Office of Academic Affairs made numerous changes to the original plan and divided it into two categories: the restructuring of the university and the establishment of strategic goals. Loyola students and faculty submitted responses to the proposal between April 10, when the plan was originally proposed, and May 19, when it was approved. Responses were valuable in determining a final plan and that's apparent in the current "Pathways" plan, said University President the Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J. According to Provost Walter Harris, Ph.D., the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs plan to continually assess the strategies and goals set forth by the "Pathways" plan by meeting with the Standing Council for Academic Planning, the University Planning Team and the Council of Deans once a year to discuss university progress and their directional focus. The "Pathways" plan is intended to be an "ongoing process of assessment and reevaluation," of university's needs, said Wildes. Harris added that the restructuring portion of "Pathways" will not change. Suspended departments, however, will have the opportunity to remain as part of the university if they are able to display acceptable progress as 'Pack prowls for fans By MICHAEL NISSMAN THE MAROON Loyola looks to raise attendance, enthusiasm. Bret Simpson hopes to put the 'Pack back in Wolfpack. The Associate Athletic Director has created a new marketing initiative dubbed "Wolfpack Nation." Its mission: to pack Loyola athletic events. The campaign, which gives away free Loyola T-shirts and a bench-side view of games, began with the launch of fall sports this year. The goal of the campaign is to garner larger interest in intercollegiate sports. The athletic department is taking an aggressive initiative unparallel to other marketing projects in the past, said Simpson. "Wolfpack Nation" is Simpson's brainchild. Simpson, who is also the assistant baseball coach, thought of the idea after hearing about a similar campaign at Miami University in Ohio. '"Wolfpack Nation' was something I thought of right after the hurricane," Simpson said. "You hear people talking about 'Red Sox Nation' because a lot of Red Sox fans don't live in Boston; they're spread out across the country. "After the hurricane it was a similar situation with students, faculty and administration of the university."Included in the plan is the distribution of dog tags with "Wolfpack Nation" inscribed on one side. On VICTORIA LODI / THE MAROON The 'Wolfpack Nation' campaign kicks off this semester in an attempt to increase student attendance at Loyola sporting events, both home and away.

Camellia Grill sold, set to reopen By NICOLE WROTEN THE MAROON The Riverbend neighborhood will be getting back one of its most wellknown establishments. The Camellia Grill will reopen under new ownership after being closed since Hurricane Katrina. Hicham Khodr, long-time local restaurateur, purchased the diner following a seven-month negotiation with former owner, Michael Schwartz, according to an Aug. 31 article in The Times-Picayune. Khodr is a partner in other Uptown restaurants, including the newly-opened Table One and Byblos Mediterranean Restaurant as well as NOLA, Emeril Lagasse's classic Creole restaurant in the French Quarter. There has been no comment on whether Lagasse had anything to do with the purchase. The two men have shared close business ties in New Orleans for years, according to The Times-Picayune, and own Gaily House together, a 1800s property in the French Quarter. In the months following Hurricane Katrina, the Grill's facade has become a shrine of Post-it "love" notes from locals and tourists who miss the food and atmosphere of the Carrollton Avenue diner. A note signed "Greg at Loyola" reads, "Hurry!" "Please come back. We need food. It's 2 a.m"" says one of the unsigned notes. Another anonymous note reads, "I need one of your hamburgers.

For Immediate Release June 4, 2012 Contacts: David Ottalini, 301 405 4076 or email@example.com Five Terps Named Tillman Scholars for 2012-2013 School Year COLLEGE PARK, Md. -The University of Maryland and the Pat Tillman Foundation are pleased to announce five Maryland students have been selected as Tillman Military Scholars for the 2012-2013 academic year. The five Maryland students join a group of 59 scholars (pdf) announced by the Tillman Foundation. The New Tillman Scholars at Maryland Include:
The Returning Tillman Scholars Include:
Maryland Is a Long-Time Partner with the Tillman Foundation Maryland is one of 14 campuses serving as a Tillman Military Scholar University Partner for the 2012-2013 academic year. University Partners are selected based on their innovative service member-specific support services and proven culture of community for military families.
As a University Partner, each institution conducts outreach to its veteran and military spouse student population and actively participates in the Tillman Military Scholar selection process. Upon selection of Tillman Military Scholars on campus, each then supports the building of community among these students, strengthening their academic and personal experience. "We are very proud to be a partner school of the Pat Tillman Foundation," said Terry Zacker who is the point person for veterans scholarships at Maryland's Stamp Student Union. "The work they do to support our Veterans and Family members is second to none. Pat's shining example of courage and commitment are constant reminders for all of us." In 2008, the Pat Tillman Foundation established the Tillman Military Scholars program to support educational opportunities for service members and military families by bridging the financial gaps left by the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill. Military families face numerous challenges during the transition from military to civilian life and have unique needs that often prevent successfully completing a degree. As a result, Tillman Military Scholars receive financial support to not only cover traditional study-related expenses such as tuition and books, but also other needs, including but not limited to: housing, transportation and childcare. In providing this support, the Pat Tillman Foundation aims to remove any and all obstacles that would otherwise prohibit academic success. Over the past four years, the Pat Tillman Foundation has awarded more than $3.2 million in scholarship funds to 230 Tillman Military Scholars pursuing education at every level from freshmen undergraduates to PhD candidates. Overall, Tillman Military Scholars represent 71 different institutions across 34 states. "We received 1280 applicants this year and, with support from our selection committee, narrowed these applicants down to 59 outstanding candidates to join the fourth class of Tillman Military Scholars," said Hunter I Riley, director of programs at the Pat Tillman Foundation. "These Scholars represent leadership in the military, classroom and community and we're proud to invest in their education and support them in making a positive impact into the future."

Born appropriately on Aug. 4, 1970 in Boulder, CO, August earned his bachelor's degree from Drake University in Des Moines, IA, and went on to earn his master's in film from The Peter Stark Producing Program at the University of Southern California. After chipping away at the fringes of show business, August made his film debut with "Go" (1999), Doug Liman's energetic follow-up to "Swingers" (1997). An honest, optimistic, but unglamorous look at sex and drugs as seen through a group of interconnected teenagers held together by a series of coincidences, it was often compared to Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" (1994) because of its rapid fire, off-topic dialogue and frenetic pacing. "Go" was nearly universally praised by critics and turned a healthy profit at the box office as compared to its independent budget. Having established himself as a professional screenwriter, August shared credit with Joss Whedon and Ben Eglund on the animated "Titan A.E." (2000), which received a mixed critical reaction on its way to becoming a box office flop.
August soon entered summer blockbuster territory when he wrote the script for the big-screen reboot of the popular 1970s TV series, "Charlie's Angels" (2000), directed by McG and starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. Though somewhat dismissed by critics as a popcorn flick, "Charlie's Angels" was a fairly large international hit. Turning to the small screen, he created and executive produced the one-hour drama "D.C." (The WB, 2000), which focused on five ambitious 20-somethings living together in a Georgetown townhouse and navigating the high-stakes world of Washington, D.C. politics. Despite a promising premise and built-in demographic, the series failed to catch on and was canceled after only four episodes aired. Back in the feature world, August was one of at least seven writers on Steven Spielberg's blockbuster sequel, "Jurassic Park III" (2001), and went on to become one of Hollywood's top behind-the-scenes script doctors, penning uncredited drafts of "Scooby-Doo" (2002) and "Minority Report" (2002).
For his next credited feature, August wrote the sequel "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" (2003), another box office hit that failed to impress critics as much as the original. That same year, he began a long and fruitful collaboration with director Tim Burton on "Big Fish" (2003), a low-key, but whimsical fantasy about a young man (Billy Crudup) trying to understand his father (Albert Finney) by reconstructing his life through a collection of stories. Adapted from Daniel Wallace's novel, which August acquired the rights to before "Go" was even released, "Big Fish" was well-received by critics and performed moderately at the box office. A decade later, August adapted the same material for a Broadway musical that was set to stage in 2013. Meanwhile, he adapted "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005) for Burton, which starred Johnny Depp as the almost-mythical chocolatier Willy Wonka, who changes the life of poverty-ridden Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore). From there, he penned the script for Burton's stop-motion animated feature, "Corpse Bride" (2005), which featured the voice talents of Depp, Helen Bonham Carter, Emily Watson and Tracey Ullman.
Turning to directing for the first time, August made his debut in the director's chair with the indie-financed psychological thriller, "The Nines" (2007), which starred Ryan Reynolds as a troubled actor trapped in a world of his own imagination. Despite a cast that included Reynolds, Melissa McCarthy and Elle Fanning, "The Nines" barely found an audience in a limited theatrical run. In between assignments, the openly gay August married his partner in California during the brief time same-sex marriage was legal in 2008. He next served as the executive producer on "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" (2010), which starred Jake Gyllenhaal and was based on the popular video game, before returning to work with Burton on "Dark Shadows" (2012), a loopy horror comedy based on the campy 1960s television series, and "Frankenweenie" (2012), a stop-motion animated feature based on Burton's famed 1984 black-and-white short film. While "Dark Shadows" was dismissed by critics, "Franenweenie" received a warm reception, though both performed well at the box office. Outside of making films, August dispensed screenwriting advice on his website, johnaugust.com, starting in 2003, and in 2012 started a popular podcast with fellow screenwriter, Craig Mazin.

Gaga Over a Gargoyle
From Margaret Bourke-White to Annie Leibovitz, photographers have scaled dizzying heights to frame the perfect prop
- By David J. Marcou
- Smithsonian magazine, February 2008, Subscribe
The 61st-floor terrace of the Chrysler Building in Manhattan had rarely seen such a large crowd. There was photographer Annie Leibovitz and her assistant Robert Bean, standing on one of the eight gargoyles that grace the building's exterior. Dancer David Parsons was on another of the gargoyles, posing for Leibovitz. A video crew was on hand to record the proceedings. So was a writer and photographer from the New York Times. Hovering over them all was the spirit of Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971), the swashbuckling Life photographer who had herself been photographed atop one of the Chrysler's gargoyles in 1934.
"The height wasn't terribly bothersome," says John Loengard, the photographer on assignment for the Times that day in August 1991. Rather, he had only one thought: "This was all...very scary-looking, but was it going to be an interesting picture?"
As Leibovitz snapped away at Parsons, Loengard snapped away at Leibovitz—and answered his own question in the affirmative. The resulting picture appeared in the Times' Arts & Leisure section on September 8, 1991, where it did nothing to diminish Leibovitz's already outsize reputation. The accompanying article, by Bourke-White biographer Vicki Goldberg, noted that the "only time [Leibovitz] lets someone hold her is when she puts one foot way out on the gargoyle's head, and once she feels secure there she makes her assistant let go and stands free above the New York skyline with the wind whipping at her trousers."
By 1991, Leibovitz had already made some of her most arresting portraits—John Lennon (naked) and Yoko Ono (clothed) just hours before he was killed, Bette Midler lounging among the roses, Demi Moore large with child. Leibovitz's work had just been featured at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. in the first mid-career retrospective the museum had ever conferred upon a photographer. (Her most recent show, "Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life, 1990-2005," travels to San Francisco's Fine Arts Museum in March.) She had been invited to give a lecture at the Rochester Institute of Technology, which had sent the video crew. And for the Times story, the paper had assigned not only Goldberg but also Loengard, a distinguished former Life photographer and picture editor who had edited both Bourke-White's and Leibovitz's work.
Leibovitz had started the day shooting Parsons, the founder and artistic director of the dance company bearing his name, in her downtown studio, but as evening approached she moved the shoot to the Chrysler Building. "I can't help but feel that we'll have Margaret Bourke-White's shadow over us," she can be heard saying on the video. (She declined to be interviewed for this article.) "But that's nice; that's really, really nice." Darien Davis, an aide to Leibovitz at the time, says, "I think that we sort of took the building by surprise. She just asked the office people, and they allowed access." (A representative of the Chrysler Building notes that today this would be "much more the exception than the rule.")
Parsons was game; he and Leibovitz had talked the gargoyle idea over a few days beforehand, he says. He estimates that he spent a total of about 45 minutes out on it, and he is matter-of-fact about the anxiety attack he had around the 25-minute mark. "The danger of having an anxiety attack is that you get dizzy," he says, "and I really needed to just get control again."
Leibovitz and Parsons began a pas de deux, she shooting and shouting encouragement, he standing on—and draping himself over—the stainless-steel ornament, nearly 700 feet over Midtown Manhattan, as Loengard positioned himself on the terrace. "I wondered if any photograph could justify the risks they were taking," he would recall later. In the back of his mind were two photographers who had fallen to their deaths in pursuit of the right vantage: James Burke in 1964 in the Himalayas, and Ethan Hoffman in 1990 in Newark, New Jersey. But Leibovitz, he recalls, seemed perfectly at ease. "Still photographers always put their pictures above everything else," he says. "They can take an inadvertent step backward and fall off a loading dock."
Then, as dusk was falling, Loengard saw his moment: Leibovitz exchanging film with her assistant Robert Bean. "For a split second, everybody's gesture was clear," Loengard says, "and all you can do is hope that that's what you got." That, indeed, is what he got.

this is short and sweet-- what's strange is that I have a copy of the Parson's picture on the gargoyle and it makes me suffer vertigo each time I look at it. you really have to be crazy to do a stunt like that even as a photographer. certifiably mad. maybe she should do some images off the buttresses of St Vitus here in Prague.Maybe not quite so high, but twice as bumpy on the way down.

It is so refreshing to read a story about Annie Leibovitz that doesn't put Leibovitz at the centre of the story. John Loengard's picture is beautifully composed and very nicely analysed by David Marcou.

Tiberius by Chadwick Tyler
>> Chadwick Tyler, preferred photographer of Alexander Wang and the burgeoning lensman who brought us Supreme's stunningly ethereal Spring 2009 show package, is holding his first gallery exhibition, Tiberius, starting Feb. 10 and running through March 12 at the Honey Space Gallery in New York.
The show revolves around "the model" — 52 models to be exact, ranging from Milagros Schmoll to Karlie Kloss to Imogen Morris-Clarke (full list). "It was important to me to have a broad range of talent, from the most established of girls to those for whom this is a first show. Most I have worked with before, others I have wanted to work with for some time," Tyler noted. Inspired by his life as a "farm kid," Chadwick produced original black and white portraits remniscent of the Dust Bowl, but with a modern twist — "the juxtaposition of the meticulous and the disheveled."
>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Lanvin's past ad campaigns have involved a lot of digital retouching — Olga Sherer floating in a baroque painting or set in repeat against a stark black background — the Fall 2008 campaign even making it into a New Yorker profile about fashion's retoucher Pascal Dangin. For Spring 2009, however, the brand has gone soft — literally. Soft lighting frames Iselin Steiro in Steven Meisel's lens, as she plays mirror-mirror in the first shot and this second addition.

Fashion Dinner For AIDS In Paris
Fabien Baron, Karl Templer Starting New Magazine and M/M Paris to Interview?
>> Yesterday's surprising news came in the form of co-editorial director Fabien Baron leaving Interview and taking creative director Karl Templer with him. Today's surprising news? Also about Fabien Baron — it's rumored that he may be launching his own publication with Templer.
Brant Publications released a statement in response to their exits today, confirming that Baron "decided to resign in order to focus on [his agency Baron & Baron]" and Templer resigned "in order to focus on other projects."
Baron also commented on his move — "now it's time to focus all my energy on my own business and the many clients that have been loyal to me over the years" — but does his "own business" include a new magazine, as the buzz among his colleagues indicates? His "many clients" — which include luxury brands that Baron directs and sometimes even photographs ads for — could, as Gawker points out, allow Baron to be "especially well positioned to land what remains of [luxury print advertising]."
Meanwhile, back at Interview, M/M Paris, who just like Fabien Baron are well known for their work with Vogue Paris and luxury advertising, are said to be taking over creative direction.

>> INSIDER WIRE —Television's fascination with all things fashion continues — MTV is said to be reviving House of Style, the '90s show that focused on all things fashion and was hosted by Cindy Crawford, Amber Valletta, and Shalom Harlow throughout its 11-year run. Contracts have gone out to Bar Rafaeli and Chanel Iman — maybe her ChanelImanTV channel was a tryout? — but neither has officially signed on yet. If one falls through, Coco Rocha would be an entertaining option, as her Style.com videos prove. [Page Six]

Olivier Theyskens Is Still at Nina Ricci's Table
>> Although sources are saying that Puig already has a new designer lined up to take Oliver Theyskens's spot at Nina Ricci, he looked right at home at the Ricci table last night during the annual Sidaction AIDS benefit gala, right down the way from Nina Ricci president Manuel Puig. Maybe he's going to ride out his contract until October, after all? But it another fashion fixture who was on everyone's minds last night — Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, making her first appearance at a fashion event and breaking her usual ties with Dior by wearing Yves Saint Laurent as the guest of Pierre Berge.

text: Robert S. Ledley Born Jun 28 1926 - Died Jul 24 2012 Diagnostic X-Ray System CAT Scan Patent Number(s) 3,922,552 Inducted 1990 Robert S. Ledley invented the whole-body CT (computerized tomographic) diagnostic X-ray scanner. The ACTA Scanner set the fundamental design for modern CT scanners, including the first use of the convolution method for CT-image reconstruction, the first high-resolution digital TV display for medical imaging, and the tilting gantry. Invention Impact Ledley used ACTA to revolutionize diagnostic medicine. He was the first to do medical imaging and three-dimensional reconstructions and the first to use CT in radiation therapy planning for cancer patients and in the diagnosis of bone diseases. Inventor Bio Born in New York City, Ledley earned a D.D.S. from New York University in 1948 and an M.A. from Columbia University a year later. During the next 20 years he served in a variety of academic and research positions at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly National Bureau of Standards), Johns Hopkins University, and George Washington University, before becoming a professor of physiology and biophysics and of radiology at the Georgetown University Medical Center. With more than 20 patents to his name, Ledley is best known for developing the ACTA (Automatic Computerized Transverse Axial) diagnostic X-ray scanner, the first whole-body computerized tomography (CT) machine. In addition to the ACTA scanner, Ledley patented the image processor (originally called the Texture Analysis Computer or TEXAC). He wrote the first comprehensive textbook for engineers on digital computer engineering. He also developed the computational methods in Boolean algebra, used in digital circuit design. Ledley wrote the seminal paper for the field of Medical Informatics on computer use to aid in medical diagnosis. Ledley is editor-in-chief of four reviewed scientific journals and has been the president and research director of the National Biomedical Research Foundation since 1960. |

With breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay, we think we found one of the quietest and most beautiful areas of Napa Valley for cycling, and wine tasting on our Carneros Sip 'N Cycle tour. Your guide will talk about local history and will help you understand the process of growing grapes and making wine at the small, family-owned wineries that you will visit. You may have the opportunity to taste some of the Pinot Noir and chardonnay for which the Carneros region is famous, taste wine directly from the barrel, or try a new and unusual varietal such as Syrah. The route is mostly flat, rolling along wide open spaces surrounded by lush green vineyards. While you taste wine, we'll set up our famous Wine Country picnic lunch surrounded by vineyards at one of our favorite scenic locations. After lunch there may be an opportunity for a quick ride through the vineyards amongst the vines. We will visit one or two more wineries, keeping an eye out for birds of prey. Our last stop is often at a sparkling winery modeled after a French chateau. After our final winery stop we head back to the haven of Moore's Landing, arriving around 3:00pm. Here we bid you a fond farewell and thank you for riding with us!
If you are interested in visiting an olive oil specialist please let us know before hand so we can set this up for you. There is a $20 tasting fee, and you will go home with a complementary bottle of olive oil.
Reservations made within 48 hours of your tour date, must be phoned in to confirm availability or we might miss you! 800-499-2453
After we meet you at 10am, we do a quick bike fitting and then we are off on our tour. We visit 3-4 wineries throughout the day, enjoying a delicious Wine Country picnic lunch at one of the winery stops. Our support van will pick up any wine purchases you make and deliver them to your car at the end of the day. The tour ends at approximately 3:30pm.
Guide gratuity is not included in the tour price; we recommend a $20 gratuity per person for your hardworking guide.Tasting fees are not included in the tour price; most wineries charge a $5-20 tasting fee. Tastings can be shared between two people, and many wineries will waive the tasting fee with a minimum purchase.
Note: Please bring your release form "signed" the day of your trip! Download here
Please wear comfortable clothing and closed toe shoes. There is no dress code in the tasting rooms, so please feel free to be casual! We recommend that you bring layers; the mornings can sometimes be cool, but the weather generally warms up by midday.

Due to our standard of personal service, cancellations affect us significantly. We strictly adhere to our policies.
1. All cancellations received at least 72 hours prior to the tour date will be charged a $25 per person processing fee.
2. All cancellations received within 72 hours of tour date or no-shows are not eligible for refund.
3. Cancellations will only be honored with a cancellation confirmation number by Getaway Adventures authorized personnel. This consists of numbers and letters. Unfortunately, we will not be able to honor any cancellations without this confirmation number, NO EXCEPTIONS.
We ride rain or shine. We always have rain ponchos available in the case of light rain or if anyone wants to continue in the rain. For those who prefer not to ride in the rain, your tour guide will happily become your private chauffeur as we continue our tour in the support van.

A barrier free environment is very important for each and every person who is blind. Vision is a very important sensory function of the person. There are times when the person may not be able to have proper vision. This is called as partial blindness. There are many other people who may not be able to see at all and this is called as complete blindness.
When a person is blind, the person may not be able to live life to the fullest. This is because the blind person may need to depend on other people to move around in the house and also outside the house. To prevent the person from becoming dependant on others and also to ensure that the person is able to be independent in living, it is very important to create a barrier free environment for the person.
A barrier free environment is a very important need for a blind person. This is because if there is some barrier, then the person will have a high risk of falling and injuring themselves. This can lead to fractures and other problems that can further reduce the independence of the person.
The importance of barrier free environment can be understood from the fact that those who are blind and live in a barrier free environment have a lesser risk of injuring themselves. They are also much more independent. A person who is blind and lives in an environment where there are a lot of barriers may have a high risk for injuries. The person will also need to be dependent on other people to overcome the problems that are associated with barriers. Quality of life too can be increased if the person has a barrier free environment and the individual will be able to live life better than usual.

Situated 18 miles west of Perth, Crieff straddles the Highland Boundary Fault where the rolling Lowland landscape meets majestic Highland terrain.
Throughout medieval times the town was a major political and judicial centre that developed into the main cattle trading centre in Scotland between the 16th and 18th centuries. Drovers, and up to 30,000 black cattle, would converge on the huge livestock market.
The Crieff Visitors' Centre has a Highland Drovers exhibition, pottery workshop and showroom. The Famous Grouse Experience, located at Glenturret Distillery, is an interactive visitor centre that tells the story of one of Scotland's best known whiskies, while on the edge of town is the Stuart and Waterford Crystal factory shop.

I want to learn how to create a theme for WordPress.
Where can I find information and resources on how to do it?
I want to learn how to create a theme for WordPress. Where can I find information and resources on how to do it? |
There are many different resources and tutorials on creating your own theme, particularly in series which cover starting out with WP to creating a themes options panel. A few good resources:
This Nettuts+ article also contains a selection of great links to WP theme tutorials. | ||||
There are many different ways to learn to create your own theme.
Hope this helps! | ||||
The official place to start would be: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development Another good article with various resources from smashing magazine is here | ||||
While I've worked through some of the Wordpress Codex tutorials and reference material, the best resource I've found so far is a book that I can heartily recommend: Smashing Wordpress: Beyond the Blog (Amazon link). It walks you through which files to amend, how to properly ('safely') change the xhtml, php, css to effect changes throughout. On-line tutorials and references are somewhat easier to get hold of, but I enjoy reading off-line and remember more from hard-copy for whatever reason. Bear in mind, though, that this is the only Wordpress book I've bought recently, so my sample size is ridiculously small. | ||||
The best place to start is the WordPress Codex. It has several tutorials that walk you through templating, building the loop, and customizing your theme to do whatever you need it to do. | ||||
This is also a great resource for starting out with theme development: http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-themes-templates-tutorial/ | ||||
Here is a very clean tutorial step by step on how to create a theme: | ||||
A nice Tutorial I got was Ian Stewart's Theme Development Tutorial: | ||||

George E. Gruell and Sherman Swanson will be signing copies of their new book, Nevada's Changing Wildlife Habitat, at Sundance Books and Music in Reno, NV at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 5.
For millennia, the ecology of the Great Basin has evolved because of climate change and the impacts of human presence. "Nevada's Changing Wildlife Habitat" is the first book to explain the transformations in the plants and animals of this region over time and how they came about. Using data gleaned from archaeological and anthropological studies, numerous historical documents, repeat photography and several natural sciences, the authors examine changes in vegetation and their impact on wildlife species and the general health of the environment. They also outline the choices that current users and managers of rangelands face in being good stewards of this harsh but fragile environment and its wildlife.
George E. Gruell is a retired wildlife biologist for the U.S. Forest Service. He has published widely on vegetation succession, wildlife habitat and fire ecology in the West and has pioneered the use of repeat photography for recording ecological changes over time.
Sherman Swanson is a range and riparian specialist for the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Service and associate professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at the University of Nevada, Reno.
"This book is very timely and thought-provoking. Anyone interested in wildlife populations, wildlife habitat and natural resource management needs to read it," said Ken McAdoo, a specialist in rangeland resources with University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Service in Elko County. "Because some of the topics are so controversial — for example, the benefits and impacts of wildfires and livestock grazing — readers will be challenged to think deeply about the ecological relationships and processes we see unfolding in our landscapes."
