In my previous post, I mentioned that TechNet Magazine has their past issues available in HTML Help format (.chm) here. If you navigate to that page (with a fully patched Vista or Windows XP box) and open one of the referenced files from directly within IE, you will get something that looks a bit like the following: "The address is not valid".
The reason for this problem is addressed in the following KB article: You cannot open HTML Help files from Internet Explorer after you install security update 896358 or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
After you install security update 896358 or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), you may experience one or both of the following symptoms after you click a link to an HTML Help .chm file in Internet Explorer:
Security update 896358 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 include changes to the InfoTech protocol that block the ability to view remote content. These changes were introduced to reduce security vulnerabilities in HTML Help. After you install 896358 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, files in the Temporary Internet Files folder are treated as content from the Internet zone. Therefore, files may be blocked when you click Open in the File Download dialog box. Additionally, after you install 896358 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, Attachment Manager may treat a downloaded .chm file as an untrusted file. Therefore, you may not be able to open the file. These effects are expected and intended effects of installing the security update and of installing Windows Server 2003 SP1.

Two months after my Fedora Core 6 install, I am giving the last test version of Fedora 7 a go.
"Don't you mean Fedora Core 7?"
Nope. The Fedora folks have finally removed the distiction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras (which I never entirely understood). That should make it easier to add non-standard packages into the install...
The first obvious change is the splash screen on the initial boot screen. I'm not sure what the clouds and balloon represent, but it looks somewhat nice.
Although I ran into weird graphical problems with Fedora Core 6 (due to the fact that it defaults to 24-bit color, which is not supported by Virtual PC 2007), I had to install in text mode. Did Fedora 7 improve in this realm?
Nope... Anaconda starts, detects the correct video card, and then attempts to fire off the X Server. At that point, HD activity ceases, CD activity ceases, and I am left with a completely black screen.
<sigh...> That sucks.
Hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 drops me to the text mode installer, and I am able to continue installing (in text mode). I tell you what... I am getting nostalgic for my OpenSuse install. Graphics worked from beginning to end. I selected the "Desktop" install, and 794 packages are on their way. Good thing the Bean Scripting Framework is being installed! I don't know where I'd be without it ;)
Rebooting after the install completes, and I am greeted with... you guessed it... more screwed up graphics! Fedora really is my favorite distro (when running on hardware), but this install experience is pretty frustrating.
Alright... finished booting and video was still messed up. I could see in the background that I was supposed to provide some sort of input, but I could not see what. Hitting "Enter" repeatedly did not get me very far.
I left for a while, came back, and could see a login prompt. I logged in as root, and tried my SED trick to change the xorg.conf file to 16 bit color. I then typed startx to fire up the X Server, and...
black screen.
Looks like something within X11 needs to be fixed before Fedora 7 RTMs. Right now it is not useable. Ubuntu had its own blocking bug (an unmoveable mouse) during my install last week.
<sigh...> Enough experimentation for one night. Off to bed... Any recommendations on my next install? I could go with Gentoo (although that tends to be a multi-hour-experience). OpenSuse works great, Ubuntu 6 worked with workarounds (but I don't like the UI), Fedora Core 6 works with workarounds...
I'm ready for my next challenge!
Approximately 6 months ago, my computer started spontaneously rebooting, and I decided to replace the motherboard and Processor. After researching processors online, I decided that the best bang-for-the-buck would be to pick up an Intel Core2 Duo 1.86GHz processor (I am not a gamer, but this is a quite decent proc with dual cores, 64-bit support, and Virtualization support. Good deal! At NewEgg and ZipZoomFly, the processor (by itself) ran approximately $200 by itself.
When flipping through the local Fry's ad, however, they were offering a boxed, retail Core2 Duo 1.86GHz (some processor) WITH a motherboard for $175. This motherboard supported both DDR400 and DDR2, as well as AGP (sounds like a decent transition motherboard... my video card was an 8x AGP Radeon x700 Pro, and my RAM was DDR400.
The motherboard itself was an ECS (couldn't tell you the model...), but long story short, it appears that Fry's was PAYING me $25 to take that motherboard off their hands ;)
It has run decently for the last 6 months, although as you can see in the picture below, the memory performance was absolutely abysmal compared to everything else in the system.
I swapped out the two DDR400 sticks of RAM and put in a matched pair of DDR2 sticks, and the memory stayed the same. I upgraded to 1.5GB of RAM, and still... memory performance remained my bottleneck. I don't know what the deal was with the memory controller on this motherboard, but it was not doing what I needed.
I am quite glad that Vista has the Performance monitor built in. Instead of relying on my "feelings" as to how fast the computer was running, I am able to tell at a glance whether performance has changed, and what component I need to replace to speed things up.
So... a few weeks ago, I decided to upgrade the guts again. As mentioned in past posts, I tend to buy computer components when they are on sale. Memory, which was REDICULOUSLY high when Vista came out has been dropping to ridiculous prices (2GB of name-brand DDR2 runs around $80), so I picked up 4GB of Kingston, and SATA Hard drives are crazy-cheap... I wanted comfortably work with the 4GB of RAM, and 3rd party support for Vista x64 has advanced to the point where it is no longer painful to run a 64-bit Operating System. Therefore, 64-bit support was an absolute requirement. All new motherboards are PCI-Express, so I had to replace my motherboard. In the past, I have had great luck with MSI and Asus motherboards, but after reading reviews, the motherboard in my price range with the features and reviews I wanted was a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (rev 3.3). It supports the Core2Duo (with a faster FSB in case I ever upgrade my proc), Vista x64, PCI-E, SATA 3GB, 8-channel Audio Gigabit LAN, and the Intel 965/ICH8 chipset). The one strange aspect of this motherboard is the fact that it has ONE IDE port. I could either run my IDE Hard Drive and DVD-RW drive on the same IDE channel, or just switch to a SATA drive. As I had several laying around my house, I decided to swap out the Hard Drive as well. The video card (Radeon X700 Pro) was swapped out for a Radeon X1950 Pro. I should probably start playing games... ;)
Long story short, I spent a Saturday afternoon performing surgery on the computer. I now have Vista x64 Ultimate Edition up and running, and the computer has Teh Snappy. The one issue I ran into was restoring files from my 32-bit Vista into Vista x64, but the found the solution at the following blog post: Confused about restoring a file from a backup in Windows Vista? Read this!
End result: Memory is now longer a bottleneck, and even processor performance improved on the new Motherboard!
The show-stopping "mouse no-workie" issue when loading Ubuntu 7.04 under Virtual PC 2007 now has a workaround!
Courtesy of the comments at Arcanecode:
Use the RIGHT ALT + V to paste the below lines into Ubuntu. Much easier than typing it out.
1. Reboot in recovery mode by pressing ESC on the GRUB screen2. wget http://librarian.launchpad.net/7583925/unsupported-patch-for-87262.sh3. chmod +x unsupported-patch-for-87262.sh4. ./unsupported-patch-for-87262.sh5. reboot
Voila! The mouse now works!
*Note: If (aka when) Ubuntu updates its kernel, the mouse will probaby stop working again. Reboot and choose the patched 2.6.20-15 kernel from Grub. I hope they fix this upstream!

There have been no shortages of announcements regarding software shipping slippages,including:
and digging into the history books
This is by no means a phenomenon exclusive to Microsoft. Apple recently announced that the next version of their OS (originally targeted for Spring of 2007) is being pushed back until October.
How is this possible? you might ask... These are releases that will be responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the Software Developers! Can't Microsoft or Apple just hire a few more developers and throw them at the release?
In short, the answer is "no".
Shipping quality software on time, on budget, and with features that will encourage consumers to purchase your product is a problem that has plagued developers since the beginning of time.
Well, since the beginning of software development.
Within the realm of Computer Science/Project Management, there is a concept known as the "Mythical Man-Month", based off of the classic book of the same name released in 1975 by Fred Brooks. Fred Brooks is a software engineer and computer scientist, best known for leading development of IBM's OS/360 Operating System.
The central theme of the theory is that "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later". To quote the book:
"...when schedule slippage is recognized, the natural (and traditional) response is to add manpower. Like dousing a fire with gasoline, this makes matters worse, much worse. More fire requires more gasoline, and thus begins a regenerative cycle which ends in disaster."
From the Wikipedia description of the Mythical Man-Month:
"Assigning more programmers to a project running behind schedule will make it even later, due to the time required for the new programmers to learn about the project, as well as the increased communication overhead."
As such, Project managers are left with a touch choice... They can
Option three is NOT AN OPTION when you are developing Operating Systems, or software that underlies critical systems. Would you like nuclear weapons or Power Plants controlled by software that was "Good enough for government work"? I didn't think so...
It was the right decision to push back the Longhorn/Vista releases. It was the right decision to push back OS X 10.5 if the code was not ready, and it was the right decision to postpone a few of the features within Viridian (aka Windows Server Virtualization). Windows Server Virtualization will serve as a long term platform upon which many many many servers will be installed. There is no room to ship code that is "maybe good enough".
To reiterate what WILL be coming with the first release of Viridian:
While Live Migration will not make the first release, you will still be able to host cluster the Virtual Machines, with a downtime of less than 5 seconds (depending on the speed of storage and amount of memory assigned to a virtual machine).
P2V and V2V will be part of System Center Virtual Machine Manage (SCVMM)
Not shabby...
And just to clarify, the features that have been postponed have...um... been postponed. Not dropped. They will come in a subsequent release once they can be fully tested to the quality bar demanded by Microsoft.
BTW... this is now my 100th post to The Sean Blog (not counting my initial "Hello World" post). Just to check and see if anyone is actually reading what I write, I have a copy of Gears of War for XBox 360 to the first person that emails me and asks for it. Use the "Email" feature at the top right of the blog... :) Good luck!
*Update: Stephen was the first to email. Congratulations!!!
I have to imagine that when the OpenSolaris release team decided on a launch strategy, that they sat around a table and discussed:
How can we go out of our way to make the download of the install ISO the must painful, frustrating, experience possible?
As there are some sharp folks working at Sun, they utterly succeeded at their goal.
You must:
Finally... a week after I intended to start the review, I can start the installation in Virtual PC.
No GUI install for Solaris... text based install it is! Java, apparently, is a critical component of the install. It is one of the first things that load:
At some point, it tried to load a GUI, but the video resolution went wonky, and eventually I was dropped back in to the text-based install:
After an incredibly long timeout (5+ minutes) while OpenSolaris attempted (unsuccessfully) to reach a DHCP Server, we reach the HD formatting dialogue. YOO MUST HAS SKILLZ to format your own drive. I'd better go with the Auto Layout option...
Apparently "Auto Layout" didn't have the "advanced system administration skills" needed to format the drive:
Apparently I had breezed by the following screen, where I had to manually partition the drive, before Auto Layout could format it:
There we go... now Auto Layout can give me a friendly File System layout. <sarcasm> This is the kind of screen I'd like my Grandma to end up at while installing an Operating System </sarcasm>.
For the next 1 1/2 to 2 hours, the installer chugged along. Only after COMPLETELY installing all files did I receive an error message stating that Solaris could not install with only 512MB of RAM (as much as I had allocated to the virtual machine). I am flabbergasted as to why Solaris would wait until this point in the game to do a prerequisite Sanity Check. Fortunately, as this was a Virtual Image, I was able to shut down the virtual machine, allocate the required 768 MB of RAM, and start the image back up.
Leading me to... the messed up video display. To be honest, I could probably reboot into single user mode, modify the X Server config, and maybe get video display to work. The network card does not work either, and I have spent the better part of two whole days working on this. I am going to give up as I have better things to do... At present, OpenSolaris does NOT get The Sean Blog Seal of Approval :)
When I saw the phone number 123-4567 on the Caller ID this evening, I knew that I was going to be in for some fun.
Me: "Hello?"
Me: "Hello-o, is anybody there?"
<click><pop><throat clear>
Telemarketer: "Good Evening Sir, you are on the short list to receive a Camera Phone"
(Short List? Really? That's the best pickup line the telemarketer could muster?)
Me: "Just a second..."
<handing the phone to my 4-year-old daughter>
Me: "Honey, it's Grandma on the phone. She wants to talk to you!"
Daughter 1: "GRANDMA!!!"
My first daughter talked on the phone for a minute or two, before the telemarketer convinced her that she needed to talk to Mommy. I intervened, and handed the phone to Daughter 2, and told her that Grandma wanted to talk to her. After my second daughter shared her day at school with "Grandma", we handed the phone off to my 3 year old son, who got a big kick out of describing what we were having for dinner.
To her credit, the Telemarketer stayed on the line for over FOUR minutes, trying to convince them that she needed to talk to mommy.
Good times :)
My daughter has been learning some songs from "The Sound of Music" (the classic 1965 film starring Julie Andrews), and my wife and I thought it would be a good idea to rent the movie from Blockbuster so that my daughter could gain some context on the songs she was singing.
After cruising the aisles at Blockbuster for a few minutes, I could not find the movie, and stopped by the front desk so that they could point me in the right direction.
It turns out that I had been looking in the wrong sections (Drama and Family). I don't know if all Blockbusters have their movies categorized this way, but the one by my house considers The Sound of Music to be a Comedy.
If I recall correctly, despite some cheery tunes, the overarching movie theme involved the Holocaust, and ends with the Von Trapp family fleeing the country to avoid being captured by the Germans. How is that funny?

The News.com take:
The SR 520 bridge crosses Lake Washington (a large lake separating Seattle to the West, and the Microsoft Headquarters in Redmond to the East). The 520 Bridge has been around a while, and the State is looking to rebuild/replace the bridge, add light rail, and generally help one of the biggest traffic bottlenecks in the area.
I don't know of anyone in Washington that would not like a bigger, wider, more easily traversed bridge across Lake Washingon. That is why I am somewhat curious as to why the Washington State Department of Transportation has decided to release some horror films showing the disasters that would befall the bridge if we suffered high winds or an earthquake. We get it! Traffic would suck more than it already does! Put it up for a vote already! ;)
Consider the following scenario. You have an Apple iPod that is connected to a Windows Vista-based computer through a USB connection. Then, you disconnect the iPod from the computer. In this scenario, the data on the iPod may become corrupted.
This problem may occur if you use one of the following methods to disconnect the iPod:
Microsoft and Apple engineers worked together to find the root cause of the problem, and as of today, a fix is available. Get the update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936824/en-us (or wait until May 22nd, when it will be available on Windows Update).

If so, then you are probably familiar with Ethereal (now WireShark) for packet monitoring. If you haven't played with Microsoft Network Monitor (Netmon.exe) since you tried it briefly in your MCSE 2000 course five years ago, I would strongly recommend taking another look. It has been re-written from scratch, and has some pretty awesome features.
The NetMon blog covers what we added in version 3.0 here: http://blogs.technet.com/netmon/archive/2006/09/27/459474.aspx
Best practices for using Microsoft Network Monitor (Netmon.exe) to capture packets can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/812953
Just a few short months after the release of version 3.0, however, 3.1 has just been released to Beta. Signup to downloat at https://connect.microsoft.com. New features include:
Two new management packs for System Center Essentials 2007 (SCE) and System Center Operations Manager 2007 (Opsmgr):
Windows Vista Client Monitoring Management Pack for Operations Manager 2007
The Windows Vista Client Monitoring Management Pack is built on the Windows Diagnostics Infrastructure in Windows Vista that detects, diagnoses and tries to resolve hardware and software problems. Information and analysis on the issues that the system detected are collected by the MP through an agent on the client and sent to OpsMgr where this data is converted into health state, alerts (if need be) and processed for aggregate reports. The MP monitors the following areas:

Just saw the following over on the Computerworld article:
And the Windows Vista Network Map -- which may be the best networking feature Microsoft has ever introduced into Windows -- won't work properly with XP PCs. They won't show up properly on the network map, if they even show up at all.
The fine folks at Computerworld are not quite right... Windows XP computers WILL show up on the network (once you install the software that allows them to do so). *Update... I didn't see that there were 3 pages in the Computerworld story. They do cover the steps below. My bad...
Courtesy of this TechNet Article:
Network Map in Microsoft® Windows Vista™ diagrams the connections between network devices to help you troubleshoot connectivity problems. Network Map uses a discovery protocol called Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) in order to query the other devices on the network to determine how the network is organized. Computers running Windows Vista include the software components that implement the LLTD protocol. For other devices on the network to be placed on the map, they must have a discovery protocol enabled that can respond to the mapping computer's requests.
For computers running Windows XP to appear on the Network Map diagram, you must download and install the LLTD Responder component. With the LLTD Responder, a computer running Windows XP can respond to other Windows Vista computers on the network that are attempting to create a network map.
To install the LLTD Responder to a computer running Windows XP
The Debian site is not particularly easy to navigate, and I went in circles a few times before finding the download page that I was looking for: http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/. The full DVD install is comprised of THREE 4.4GB DVDs. Apparently the kitchen sink is included with Debian :)
It looks like the release date was April 7th, so this should be pretty up to date... let's see how the install goes!
Instead of downloading the DVDs, I downloaded the 160MB Net install CD ISO. Text install again... good times! I chose all the defaults, and soon reached the partitioning wizard. Why doesn't Debian verify that it can reach an installation server on the network before formatting my drive?
Debian then installs the core packages. I'm guessing that these are from the install ISO as I don't think we have hit the internet yet...
Aaahhh... there we go. A prompt to hook into a network mirror. I would have expected this a bit earlier...
First mirror (debian.org) failed, as did the kernel.org mirror. Third mirror finally worked, and I headed to bed with visions of a fully installed OS when I awoke in the morning.
As I was running a little late to work today, I didn't get a chance to check progress until this evening, over 20 hours later.
The install appears to have hung, as the progress bar is not moving (and there is no HD or Network activity).
A distro that doesn't even complete installing before locking up does NOT earn the Sean Blog seal of approval. 3rd Distro in a row that will not install successfully (while older versions of most of these distributions install just fine). We're going backwards here!
On to OpenSolaris...
Sun has several things going for them:
I haven't played with their servers or their processors, so I can't opine on that front, but I can add to my list of *nixes running Virtual PC. Yes, that star in the last sentence was intentional. Solaris is a YOOONIX (Unix) variant, and not Linux. Let's see how it fares in Virtual PC 2007!
The install DVDs can be downloaded here: Download. First off, registration is required. Oh well... Once on the download page, the first sentence is as follows:
After downloading and unzipping segments, follow these instructions: Reconstruct the full DVD image, by using the cat command (UNIX systems) or the COPY command (Windows systems). The correct syntax is: -cat file1 file2 file3 > file.iso or -copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 file.iso
That would match up with the download options that follow. For some reason, they have broken a single DVD ISO into 3 separate parts. In this age of 5+Mbit Cable modems and Fiber to the Premises, this is completely unnecessary.
I soon find out why the install DVD is broken into 3 segments. It is so that Java can launch and I can download through their proprietary Java-based download manager. (AKA unnecessary step part deux).
Goody... the download manager also comes with advertisements. I'm getting that warm "community" feel already, and I don't even have an ISO sitting on my desktop yet. ;)
Speaking of which... how about that amazing download speed? Looks like I won't be able to finish this review tonight! I'll post my progress so far and pick up when the download completed (it's looking like Saturday folks ;)
3 new betas (and polished ones at that!) released today. I will cover them in the order that I use them.
Windows Live Writer
Using it right now! This is actually one of the slickest Windows Live apps. Works great for posting to your blog, whether it is Windows Live Spaces, Community Server, WordPress, TypePad, or Community Server). You can also extend Windows Live Writer with custom plug-ins from Windows Live Gallery.
New features of this beta of Windows Live Writer include inline spell checking, the ability to add categories, table editing and easier image insertion.
Download it here: http://writer.live.com/
Windows Live Mail
I know, I know... Microsoft is suffering from E-Mail client overload. However, Windows Live Mail is the successor to all our consumer-oriented clients (Outlook Express, Windows Mail, and previous versions of Windows Live Mail desktop). The UI is much prettier, and is aligned with what's being adopted across Windows Live. Windows Live Mail will allow syncing with Windows Live Hotmail, serving as a client-to-service bridge. The first beta of Windows Live Mail will offer:
Also... (and don't tell anyone) it works GREAT with Gmail (although if you have 1.5GB Gmail, you are in for a long sync time ;) Just type in your GMail address and password, and Windows Live Mail takes care of all the account setup automagically. Very nice!
Download it here: http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas
Windows Live Messenger 8.5
Windows Live Messenger 8.5 presents a brand new look-and-feel that's more in tone with Windows Vista. While this update largely affects the back-end, it also adds several new emoticons and integration with Windows Live OneCare Safety Center. You can expect performance enhancements in there as well.
To be honest, I have my fair share of IMing at work (half my team is across the pond), and I tend to crave face-to-face interaction. But feel free to download so that you can ROTFL w/ UR fREndZ!
Download it here: http://get.live.com/betas/messenger_betas
Make sure to give feedback on any of these betas at http://feedback.live.com. Brandon's take is available here.

Funded by J. Allison Barnes Any junior or senior who has attended Otterbein University for at least one year prior to the contest may submit. Stories should meaningfully integrate events, facts, or phases of American history (e.g. 9-11, Lincoln's assassination, Hurricane Katrina, etc.). Stories must be 2,000 to 5,000 words and emphasize the virtue of engaged and active citizenship. A correct, typed copy of all prize-winning stories shall be furnished by the writers to be put in the Otterbein University archives. The college shall have the option of publishing any successful stories.
Funded by Mrs. Roy A. Burkhart Poems may be no longer than 50 lines, and should deal with spiritual themes and subjects. Poetry should be placed on the page exactly as you want it to appear.
Each entry will consist of three different news or feature stories, on any subject, that were published in the Tan and Cardinal student newspaper during the three quarters immediately preceding the contest. Students should submit a clipping from the original T & C in which the article appeared. The clipping must be fully identified by date and page number. The name of the writer should be omitted, either by marking it out or by cutting it out. Indicate which two stories are to be read first by the judge, by numbering your stories 1, 2, and 3 at the top. The judge will not necessarily read the third, as it will be used as a tie-breaker. One single entry form, containing the titles of all three articles as well as your name and other information (listed in the general rules section), should accompany the entry.
The Writer's Prize will be awarded each year to the best of all the first-place winners of the seven contests described here.

You should never, ever, preorder a video game
Have you ever preordered a video game? Did you feel good about yourself after doing so? Yes? No? Truth is, you should almost never, ever, preorder a video game.
A preorder does virtually nothing for you, but it does a great deal for various other parties. First off, it's a free loan. Think about it. You're essentially giving a game retailer 5 or more dollars for free. All you get back in return is a receipt that you've done so. A big-name retailer now has your 5 dollars that it, in turn, can do whatever it wants with. Sure, it might seem trivial on a small scale, but multiply your 5 dollars times the amount of preorders made a day, and we're talking millions of free unearned dollars here.
Game distributors and retailers also use preorder data to gauge interest in a title. They're basically using your donation to measure how successful a marketing campaign is even before anyone has played the game. And once you've pledged those few dollars, odds are you'll be back come release day. If not, the money stays with the retailer, where you'll most likely use it on another title -- or even worse, forget about it. … Read more

How To: Make a board Read only?
Is there some hidden quick way to make a board read only?
Is it possible to make a "pre-defined premissions profile" called read only?
I believe you select permissions for that board. And then check every box next to every membergroup. And then apply "restrictive" permissions to all of them at once. You can use this method to any permission in mass.
I'll give that a try.
Any way to see what these pre-defined permissions set? without applying them?
Umm... good question. Only way I can think of is either the little help icon may have information in. Otherwise open up Sources/ManagePermissions.php and look for "restrictive", it lists them in there... bit of a hastle I know :(
Sorry... what you could do is apply restrictive permissions and then look at what permissions it gave for those members :)

Fine Art Funds – Taking the soul out of art investing?
Throughout history, retailers and individual collectors have been trading valuable works of art, whether for pleasure or investment potential. As far back as the 1800's art trading clubs were formed and investors would gather to discuss their collections and potentially trade works. It wasn't until after the year 2000 that commercial art funds began to gain traction as investment vehicles. At that time a number of entrepreneurs from the financial and arts industries who had a strong personal or vocational interest in art set up these funds, a number of which have fizzled out over the years. An art fund, much like a hedge or private equity fund, provides commercial rewards to both the capital providers and the fund managers. Considered by those involved to be a sophisticated type of alternative investment, art funds provide a long-term hedge during periods of financial crisis and inflation. For this feature, ALI spoke to two prominent fine art funds as well as to top art advisors to understand and analyze strategies of art investment funds as well as the recent growth in the Latin American sector Read More…

The New Soumaya Museum is Inaugurated
Replacing a smaller museum located in the south part of Mexico city and with works by great masters like Diego Rivera, Auguste Rodin and Leonardo Da Vinci amongst what will be a rotating exhibition of close to 66,000 artworks so far – and counting, the Soumaya Museum was inaugurated last Tuesday in the northwest part of Mexico City. The museum will open to the public on March 28, 2011 and will be closed on Tuesdays. Admission will be free.
The Soumaya will display one of the vastest collections of European and Latin American Art in Mexico. The collection is owned by the world's richest man, telecom billionaire Carlos Slim Helu and its name comes after Slim's late wife Soumaya Domit Slim. The six-story modern building, beautifully designed by Slim's son-in-law architect Fernando Romero is covered by 16,000 aluminum panels with a curvy landmark design on the outside, and the spectacular 183,000 feet of interior halls interconnected by stairs, ramps and elevators.
The inaugural exhibition will display some 6,200 artworks, which account for about 10% of the complete collection. The 800 million dollar building has a steel structure and it is armed with the latest technology such as controlled temperature and humidity to hold its artworks in the best of conditions.
The first and second floors hold gold and silver pieces, viceroyalty coins, Mesoamerican ceramic, stone and shell pieces. The third and fourth floors exhibit old European masters, New Spain masters, landscapes, portraits and various other art objects. The fifth floor exhibits an impressive collection of what refers to "The Mexican School of Painting" lead by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, amongst many more such as the initiators of the called "The Rupture Movement"; a group of artists from the 1950's heralding a huge change in Mexican aesthetic expression and it is known to be responsible for the cosmopolitan direction in which art in Mexico has been developed since. With Auguste Rodin as the main theme, the sixth floor holds "The Rodin Era", also with works by Emile-Antoine Bourdelle, Camille Claudel, and one of his pupils Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux; it is said to be the most spectacular of all halls and the second most important Rodin collection in the world.
The Soumaya Museum has the most important collection of European art and Latin American art in all Latin America and it is the fastest growing private art collection in the world. Are Mexicans proud of getting a museum from their fellow citizen named the richest man in the world? At least Slim is not keeping his collection to himself. I am proud to have a country inundated with art wherever you go, rich areas, poor areas, parks, corners, circles; art is abundant and it is one of our biggest assets. Mexico is one of the most cultural cities in the world where people, rich and poor, identify themselves with culture in general; it is part of who we are. Mexico City is located on what was the capital of the Aztec Empire in pre-Columbian times and you may feel the power of the Aztecs in areas such as at the Templo Mayor. It is common to see old people, young people, families or groups of friends gather together to go to the museum for the newest exhibition or to check the permanent exhibition once again.
The Soumaya Museum just adds to that. And I am also excited for the upcoming museum that will hold the Jumex Collection, which will be the most important collection of Contemporary art, and it is being built right by the Soumaya and flanked by a new theatre as well.
Until next time,

At 10am, the first part of the controversial symposium "Finding Frida" took off. The owners of the Noyola Collection Carlos Noyola and Leticia Hernandez de Noyola started the presentation talking about how they met sharing their love and dedication to art collecting and to their Art and Antiques store located in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. After telling us how proud they are of their children who followed in their steps, they went on to tell us how Frida Kahlo got between them to never let go and how they share a passion for her works like nobody they know. The Noyola's are here at the Dallas Art Fair to vindicate themselves by corroborating the authenticity of the works of Frida Kahlo which they have gathered throughout the years. They printed a book called "Finding Frida Kahlo". They are also trying to reassert us by showing a video of how they have obtained validation from several sources including Arturo Garcia Bustos, Arturo Estrada, Chavela Vargas, Rina Lazo and Diego Maria Alvarado Rivera.
James Oles
After proudly playing the video, they were immediately questioned by James Oles about the documentation supporting the provenance of the works. James Oles is a professor of art history at Wellesley College, curator of Latin American Art and researcher of the Frida Kahlo archives at the Casa Azul Museum in Mexico City. Trying to be as unbiased as possible, I really wanted for the Noyola's to prove their point. Who doesn't want this collection to be authentic? Nobody. But there are very valid issues that overcloud the provenance and authenticity of the collection. Followed by James Oles was Mary Ann Martin. Mary Ann Martin is the owner and director of Mary Ann Martin Fine Art in New York City and she is one of the leading dealers of Latin American Art in the United States. She was asking the Noyola's about how in the 90's, they mentioned the source of the provenance of the collection to one newspaper as being from Manuel Marque and later on they told a different newspaper that the source was Abraham Jimenez Lopez. The question confused the Noyola's; they seemed unorganized and struggled to answer the question as though they did not understand it. Their advisor Jed Paradies came into their rescue only to be shut down by moderator Jason Edward Kaufman pointing out the uncertainty of their rationale of where the artworks ultimately come from. After the symposium, we walked into the salon where 56 pieces from the Noyola collection were exhibited. Within 15 minutes, there were basically two groups; one consisting of the Noyola's explaining why the collection is authentic and where they got it from and the arguments to prove their claims.
Dr. Salomon Grimberg
The other group gathered first around Dr. Salomon Grimberg who is the co-author of the Frida Kahlo catalog raisonné "Frida Kahlo, Das Gesamtwerk" and one of the leading experts of her work. Later on, another group gathered around James Oles who was absolutely certain that mostly every piece they were showing was a fake. Oles pointed out how the flag that reads "Viva Trosky" was misspelled (Trotsky is the correct spelling) and how the fact that the Noyola's obtained 1200 works; 40+ original paintings that no Frida Kahlo nor any Latin American Art expert had ever seen or heard about. These details raised most of his claims. Finding Frida part II comes tomorrow. We will be there and I cannot wait to write about it.
Until tomorrow,
Laura Cunningham

The Dallas Art Fair has been even greater than expected and I have met the nicest people. Many of whom are responsible for shaping the art world; others who are responsible for shaping the Latin American Art world and still others who are art enthusiasts and complete the ensemble. After hours of walking and talking to numerous gallery owners, getting to know them and getting the information I was looking for, I walked into the familiar warmth of a colleague who welcomed me into her booth.
Patricia Ruiz-Healey is owner and director of Ruiz-Healey Fine Art in San Antonio, TX. Patricia Ruiz-Healy holds a Masters Degree in Art History from the University of Texas in San Antonio. She also did Post-Graduate work in London at the Sotheby's Institute and at the Coartauld Institute of Art. She is a PhD student at UT Austin working towards a Doctorate in Latin American Studies and clearly knows what she is all about. With a finicky attitude, she welcomes clients into her space and with visible pride, shows them what her gallery has to offer. Often taking works from the back to pull their interest and educating them further about the works.
In addition to Carlos Betancourt and Rodolfo Choperena, Ruiz-Healey Fine Art is also showcasing the artworks of Cecilia Paredes, Pedro Friedeberg and Cecilia Biagini among others. Patricia talked to me briefly about the artists she represents and their artwork so I could gather information about them for my articles. It was hard to hold a conversation with so many clients constantly walking in. She then informed me that one of the artists she represents: Carlos Betancourt was at the Fair and tried to locate him for me but he was gone. We then set up an interview for Saturday with Betancourt and also with Rodolfo Choperena which I will share with you once I am done with the transcripts.
Until then,

Congrats to the winners.
Merry Christmas
Oh no ........... investment for personal gain ........................ how shocking!
If it weren't for the Greed of Envy Crowd like "Occupy", you wouldn't have to worry about coming forward !!!
I think they should have told the truth. Just tell us you represent the winner. Big deal.
Many have formed trusts - we understand that's to protect the identity of the winners. They succeeded in bringing more scrutiny to the win and raising questions about their integrity.
Captain Lotto
"Every day is a good day!"
Time for PA to get our 1st Mega Millions win.
I will just hide after I claim the jackpot!
Welp, that would answer my question as to why they formed a trust but still showed for the press conference. Can't blame the winner at all for the ruse.
@ the Real winner and bless him/her/them ...... who cares who
Asset managers accused of fronting for real $254M Powerball winner
Otherwise known as "sending in a beard."
Looks like these guys and the winner formed their own Jackpot Winner Protectin Program.
I say good for them.
Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any.
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.
From the beginning I thought this was a fishy story about the winners, etc.. I found it odd that 3 people would buy just one ticket. Usually people buy a few tickets. With a bit of humor, their total investment would have been 33 1/3 cents apiece. I wonder how they made that 1 penny into thirds?
I think it's smart to keep your identity private. It's also smart to create an entity to manage the money.
I don't see a story here - it looks like the lottery officials and the journalist took the low road.
I liked the story when it was about 3 people paying 33.333 cents a piece to split a QP ticket instead.
"If you really want something in this life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers." - Homer J. Simpson
Who gives a SH*T about who won or cashed in this fu*king ticket!!!!!
Fact: The DA*N ticket has finally been cashed in!!
Reality: Move on the the next drawing and move on with your lives.
I am so tired of the media making a big hoopla about this fricking ticket!!
Be honest, Do you REALLY care about who won?
I'm just thrilled that the ticket has been cashed and the jackpot won't be "rolled back into the system".
GOOD GRAVY, give it a rest.
If anything, start fraudulent claims charges against the knuckleheads that "claimed" to have lost the winning ticket.
Is there so little going on in this pathetic world that the media have to run stories like this?
After all, as stated in previous posts, thousands of people have used a hired mouth piece or dummy front to cash in jackpot tickets.
Sometimes the American media makes me wonder about how brain damaged they really are.
Yeh, who cares but it did prove a point that there something wrong with this story, it wasn't adding up! Good Enough! I will do the same when my ticket come in , but i will give to worthy causes.
the best thing about this is that rdgrnnr was wrong in his assessment yesterday. the know it all from the appalachians actually believed these frauds.
Yeh, rdgrnr did fall for it hook ,line and pole.
He made the wrong assessment because he automatically took the opposite view of mine. I first announced the 3 investment advisers were probably acting as a front and rdgrnr disagreed immediately never wanting to appear to agree with me.
Well, normally that logic is flawless.

Campaignto Keep People in their Homes
New York Communities for Change has launched an innovative campaign to keep Americans in their homes: keep people in their homes, or else. They introduce the campaign:
We all know the Big Banks triggered the forecosure crisis in this country through predatory lending practices. Now they have the power to fix it - by working with families facing foreclosure, these banks can modify their loans to allow them to make payments and stay in their homes. But the Big Banks refuse to do this. It's time to send the banks a message - change your ways, or we move our money.
Fill out the form below to send an email to the CEO's of the Big Five - Chase, Citi, HSBC, B of A, and Wells Fargo, letting them know that if they don't improve their loan modification policies by August 31st, YOU will move your money to another bank and refuse to do business with any of these five.
Take the pledge. And, help keep Americans in their homes.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and the gay and lesbian community could learn a few things from the cows in Chick-fil-A ads. Most important is this: You catch more flies with honey-mustard sauce than you ever will with vinegar. What did Northeastern University accomplish by spurning Chick-fil-A when the chain wanted to put a restaurant on the campus earlier this year? What, in his blustering about inclusion and discrimination, is Menino thinking? Despite well-meaning intentions, the school and the mayor are positioning themselves as the bad guys in an unwinnable game of chikin.

ROSCOMMON COUNTY -- A Houghton Lake man was sentenced to one year jail on felony charges for intentionally setting multiple wildfires in Roscommon County on three separate dates.
Howard LeRoy was sentenced to one year of jail, followed by 24 months probation, $648 in fines and costs, and was ordered to pay a total of over $13,000 in restitution.
The charges stemmed from a DNR investigation when they noticed a trend in certain unexplained, suspicious fires. Leroy was originally charged with setting seven fires in Roscommon County.
In a press release from the Department of Natural Resources, Scott Heather, DNR state forest fire supervisor says that it's important to investigate and prosecute offenses such as these because of "costs in timber and habitat damage and suppressing the fires."
LeRoy originally pled guilty to these charges in February.

Disasters More Likely
Ironically, atmospheric rivers that set up over California are not all bad. The smaller ones that arise annually are important sources of water. By analyzing the amount of rain and snow that atmospheric rivers brought to the U.S. West Coast in recent decades, along with records about long-term precipitation, snowpack and stream flow, researchers have found that between 1950 and 2010, atmospheric rivers supplied 30 to 50 percent of California's water—in the span of only 10 days each year. They are finding similar proportions along the rest of the West Coast. In the same time period, however, the storms also caused more than 80 percent of flooding in California rivers and 81 percent of the 128 most well-documented levee breaks in California's Central Valley.

Hello everybody I'm Gerri Willis the fiscal cliff averted for now when investors staging a party.
The Dow soaring 2% NASDAQ on fire small cap stocks setting a new all time high and why.
Because the fiscal club deal which will be signed by the president probably moments from now.
-- shrink big government -- no spending rises by four trillion.
Well many investors were excited about lower deficits.
Now would get deficits continue to climb to eight trillion over the decade.
The estimated deficit reduction.
Just 650 billion.
And oh by the way contrary to what you've heard the middle class gets socked with a tax hike.
You weren't 50000 get raided pay an additional thousand to Uncle Sam here with details Scott Hodge president of the Tax Foundation Scott thanks for coming and let's get into the huge bill.
Starting -- the average tax increases that people are gonna face here -- making 50000 to 75000.
As I said.
Will be -- increase tax.
What you will go.
And it just keeps going right.
Plus exactly right Jerry -- that the tax increases on the middle class we'll come from the expiration of the temporary reduction in the payroll tax.
Which -- was reduced as you know by 2%.
That goes away and so -- payroll taxes will go up the average.
Tara -- -- see an increase of a thousand dollars.
-- -- -- You know it's it's circles within circles we talk about the bush income -- expiring you're now talking about the payroll taxes Social Security income tax we put that in place.
It was stimulus.
Now it's expiring going away this is the thing that's really gonna catch the middle class.
Here's the number that really drove all this town though 77%.
Of Americans will now face higher federal taxes in 2013.
Still what happened to that promise that we were only get it hit the -- the high at the upper class the really wealthy people.
Well though the wealthy will see a permanent tax increase thanks -- the increase in the top rate from 35% to 39 point 6%.
And for millionaires that's going to be an average tax increase of well over -- 150000 dollars a year -- certainly -- bulk of this tax increase will go to upper income people.
And actually starts at a lower level around 20250000.
Dollars a year in income will see some of their deductions and exemptions begin to phase out.
But the real tax increase will hit those earning over 400 to 450000.
Dollars a year we'll hit that get hit with those higher tax rate.
And it's -- layers upon layers of taxes it's not just the income tax is not just payroll it's also Obama care taxes the list goes on -- on.
Ultimately -- -- you say and I quote you because you're so knowledgeable about this.
You -- is a bad deal for the economy why.
Well it really is a bad deal for the coming -- because while we were spared from that going over the fiscal -- Our economic moral model shows that -- reduce economic growth by one and a half percentage.
Or percent over the next ten years which leave -- means that that the tax bill actually raise less than what is actually being predicted.
By the treasury about 13 less actual off and so what we see is that tougher every new dollar tax revenues that it raises it actually reduces economic growth.
By about eight dollars and fifty cents and that's a real bad deal for the economy.
Unbelievable yes that is a bad deal if you're any good news anywhere -- -- -- easy.
Only you lot.
Well I think that there are some good things in that we can quit talking about the temporary bush tax cuts.
And this means that we -- talking about the Obama tax.
Altman -- Obama owns this tax code right now this is all he is and so from now on good or bad he lives with the results of this.
Well Scott you are so knowledgeable -- thanks so much for helping us out tonight.
It's it's a huge bill and of course presence going to be signing -- in thank you so much for your time you read your.
