First Look: Piano's Addition to Boston's Gardner Museum Near Completion
The architect's turquoise copper complement to the revered institution is set to open next month.

Six weeks before its scheduled opening, Renzo Piano's addition to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has entered the final stages of construction, and on a recent visit it bustled with workers applying finishes in advance of the January 19th debut. Connected to the back of the museum's original building by a 50-foot glass walkway, the addition only slightly alters the revered Boston institution—a faux-palazzo built in 1903 as a house for the society luminary Isabella Stewart Gardner and her vast and eclectic art collection. But the new structure relieves the original building of ancillary spaces that had been squeezed into it over 70 years as a public museum.
Piano's 70,000-square-foot addition includes a performing arts space and a gallery, as well as a new entrance, a restaurant, administrative offices, education spaces, conservation labs, a greenhouse, and apartments for the museum's artist in residence program. The older structure will be primarily devoted to displaying the collection, which includes important work by Rembrandt, Titian, and a who's who of old masters through Impressionism.
The addition took two years to complete and was result of a $180 million capital campaign that allocated $114 million to construction costs and $46 million for operating costs and the museum's endowment. Annual attendance is expected to increase by 15 percent to 230,000 visitors.
When it decided to go forward with the project in 2004, the Gardner's board formed a selection committee, but Piano initially declined to enter the running. "Of everyone we asked, only Rafael Moneo and Piano said no," says the museum's director Anne Hawley. The group had compiled a shortlist of prospective designers—including Tokyo-based SANAA, Phoenix's Will Bruder, and Boston's own William Rawn—when Piano changed his mind. (According to Hawley, he was persuaded by Raymond Nasher whose eponymous Dallas sculpture center Piano designed.) After a trip to Texas to see the Nasher and the Menil Collection, the committee threw out its list and settled on the Italian architect.
Divided into four primary volumes stitched together by a stair, Piano's new building reorients the main entrance from the Fenway to Evans Way to the east. It is clad in glass and ridged plates of pre-patinated copper. The turquoise finish, mottled in places with greens and yellows, was intended to echo the copper details found on bay windows throughout Boston's historic neighborhoods. Piano placed the fire stairs on the building's exterior. Attached by a suspended rod system, the catwalks create a pattern of silver ribbons across the greenish background.
One glazed section of the facade encloses a new 1,500-square-foot gallery. The white box rises a dramatic 36 feet and, in a reference to the courtyard in the original building, is covered by Piano's signature top lighting. A scrim stretches across an armature that can be raised and lowered by a mechanical system, allowing the ceiling height to be adjusted from the full 36 feet down to 24 or 12 feet depending on curatorial needs. "It has the flexibility to go from a wide-open, slightly outrageous contemporary space to an intimate gallery," says director of operations Jim Labeck.
The largest of the four new volumes is a concrete cube housing the performing arts space. A skylight, 42 feet overhead, allows scrim-filtered daylight into the room. Piano paneled the hall in perforated white oak, and has hung curtains between the wood and concrete to allow the acoustics of the space to be adjusted for different performances. Acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, who worked with Frank Gehry on the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the New World Symphony in Miami, consulted on the scheme.
There is no stage in the hall, which seats 296. Instead, performers play in the center of the cube's floor with rows of seating surrounding them. Three levels of galleries above contain one row of seating each. Beveled glass balustrades with wooden railings, allow unusual sight lines from the upper levels down to the musicians below—and voyeuristic glances at fellow concert-goers straight across the balcony.
The Gardner's tapestry room, which for decades had hosted concerts and other events, has been restored with furnishings organized according to archival photos. Layers of grime have been cleaned from the tiled floor. Other galleries in the original building still show some deterioration from years of public use. A jewel box of art and architectural elements from Europe and Asia, all installed to specifications set out in Gardner's will, the museum is also a major cultural touchstone for the city. The theft of 13 works in 1990 was regarded as a public tragedy, and the museum met resistance from some community groups over the expansion.
The Gardener tore down a 1908 carriage house and a greenhouse added later to make room for the Piano wing, in addition to moving a sarcophagus from its original location, a process that required approval from the Massachusetts State Supreme Court. "As a matter of Gardner's will, we had to go to court," says Hawley. "But a small community group without an immediate connection to the museum also took us on." The museum persevered, and at the end of the day, Hawley feels the addition crucially eases the strain on the revered palazzo. "It was impossible to deal with the wear and tear—now we can really preserve the original building."

Following council consideration of the five action items on the Crockett city council agenda Monday night, Oct. 6, Councilman Darius Kitchen indicated he wanted to make some comments.
The Precinct 2 councilman said, "During the storms a number of signs were torn down at businesses. We should be able to rebuild those signs."
Kitchen added, "There are no provisions in the ordinance to deal with extreme situations" and then called on audience member Ansel Bradshaw to make additional comments.
In his comments Bradshaw said, "A couple of weeks ago we received a letter from City Administrator Ron Duncan about the wind event that occurred in Crockett." He continued by saying the wind event was hurricane force winds and that some of their billboards had been blown down.
He said they were asking that they be able to replace the signs in pre-op condition. He said another little thing was that some of the signs were permitted in a cluster and not as individual signs and that he tried to get a permit to rebuild them but was denied.
"I am speaking on behalf of the sign company we work with, Magic Media," Bradshaw said in his closing comments.
Responding to Bradshaw, Duncan said, "There is an appeal process in the ordinance. The proper procedure is outlined in the ordinance."
Duncan concluded his comments by saying, "We expect Magic Media to appeal to the Planning and Zoning Commission and they will make a recommendation to council."
During the business portion of the meeting, council approved an ordinance adopting the city of Crockett Hazard Mitigation Action Plan. Mayor Wayne Mask said he had met with Houston County Emergency Management Coordinator David Lamb regarding the renewal of the program.
An ordinance granting a 30-year-franchise to CenterPoint Energy was approved by council. Duncan said the agreement also provides for five percent of gross receipts to be provided to the city.
A resolution authorizing submission of an application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for Home Investment Partnership Program Funds was unanimously approved.
Council authorized the submission of a Texas Community Development Block Grant Program application for sanitary sewer improvements.
Councilman Bill Holcomb was absent from the meeting.

What is the SuSE equivalent of this?
I am not too sure about Redhat or SuSe, but I know that these commands to start and stop services in Slackware are basically just scripts and are located in /etc/rc.d/.

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed by the worlds largest international non-profit cancer research institute, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR), to establish a branch for translational and clinical cancer research in Singapore. This is in collaboration with three Singapore institutions, namely, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine of the National University of Singapore (NUS-YLLSoM) and the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School (Duke-NUS GMS).
The intent to establish the LICR in Singapore was announced in a speech by the city-states Minister for Health, Khaw Boon Wan, at the opening session of the American Association of Cancer Researchs (AACR) Centennial Conference held in Singapore.
LICR has 10 research branches across Australia, Europe, and North and South America. The Singapore venture would be its first in Asia.
Dr. Andrew J.G. Simpson, LICRs Scientific Director, said that the synergistic opportunities presented by Singapore were a perfect fit for LICR. The Ludwig Institute has great strength and experience in taking discoveries from investigator-initiated studies and exploring their potential clinical applications. In Singapore, the laboratory research is world-class, and there is an extraordinary clinical infrastructure ready to take the fruits of that research into clinical trials. Together, we can span the traditional divide between the laboratory and the clinic, hopefully to bring our research discoveries to human benefit. Dr. Simpson added that Singapore, with its multi-ethnic Asian population, is also advantageous for LICRs clinical studies, several of which are assessing potential treatments for cancers that particularly affect the Asian community.
LICR is well-known in the field of cancer research, producing articles of extremely high impact and conducted nearly 100 early-phase clinical trials for anti-cancer drugs, said Mr Li

I'm sure you've seen a cooking show at some point and thought to yourself how convenient it is that the chef had all those little bowls of perfectly measured ingredients to toss into the mix at just the right time. I always just assumed that was just for TV, but as it turns out, preparing your ingredients and measuring them out ahead of time like that is just good cooking practice. And it has a name. Mise en place. Which is pronounced MEES ah ploss. I think.
"Mise en place", I have learned, is a French term meaning "everything in place." As you can tell from those cooking shows, mise en place increases productivity immensely because the cook doesn't have to stop what he's doing to chop veggies, sift flour, find his measuring cups, etc. But as many times as I've seen a professional chef benefit from his advance preparations, it's never occurred to me to do that myself at home. I usually just dive right in and pull ingredients out as I go, fumbling to figure out what to do with the mixture already on the stove while I take time to soften a stick of butter.
As I thought about this, my thoughts turned to whether I have an equivalent to mise en place when it comes to building PowerPoint presentations. As you might have guessed from the title of this post, I do! And now that I know what to call it, I propose you adopt it, too. What I'm calling mise en place for the purposes of this post is just my ritual of getting everything "in place" before starting to add any real content to the first slide.
When I first started building presentations my workflow went something like this. I would put some text on a slide, then start playing with backgrounds or experimenting with fonts. I'd add another slide, some more text, maybe a graphic. Then keep messing with font families, background colors, and drop shadows as I went along. I'd have to stop adding content to mess with my settings. Then I'd inevitably make a decision to change fonts late in the game and have to spend precious time making that change in size, family, or color on every slide I'd already built. Hardly efficient.
I don't know how long it took, but eventually I learned to work smarter. When I start a new deck of slides, I always spend time at the beginning "getting my station prepped for the coming shift," if you will. I open the Master Slide and do all of my experimenting and playing up front. I get my basic background set. I find a font to match the mood and feel of my presentation. I usually struggle a bit with color schemes, so I usually rely on something like Adobe Kuler to help me find colors that feel right and really "go."
This playing and messing around takes anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on how crucial it is that all of these elements be perfect. But once everything's the way I want it, I save that Master Slide. Now when I begin starting to add the real content, I don't have to spend time thinking about the fonts, colors or layout. I just click the drop down menu to apply the heading styles and such that I've already prepared. Even if I decide to change a font or color here or there along the way, I can simply make the change on the master and it's reflected on ALL of the existing slides. Huge time savings.
If you're like me then it probably never would have hit you to prepare your ingredients ahead of time when you're cooking until someone told you point-blank to think about doing it. Take this post as my telling you point-blank. Try your own version of mise en place next time you're preparing slides and let me know if it doesn't help immensely.
P.S. – It's crazy how many other applications there are for this idea. It works with almost all software programs (customizing keyboard shortcuts, configuring presets, etc.) but lots of real-world tasks from cleaning your house to motorcycle maintenance can benefit from this kind of forethought and preparation.

- How to Read a Study Record
Peripheral neuropathies cause weakness and sensory loss that can produce severe disability. Some neuropathies are immune-mediated and associated with antibodies. It has been postulated that Rituxan treatment may reduce the level of antibody production limiting the loss of muscle strength and hence improve activities of daily living. The purpose of this open-label study (all participants get Rituxan and not placebo) is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Rituxan in the treatment of polyneuropathies associated with serum IgM autoantibodies in those who have already been treated with one course of Rituxan. Subjects will be treated on the in-patient Clinical Research Center with Rituxan for two treatments one week a part and then individual treatments every 10 weeks for one year. The effectiveness of Rituxan will be followed by looking for increases in muscle strength and decreases in the serum IgM autoantibodies.

COVERAGE> Carspotting at SEMA 2012 Las Vegas
GALLERY> Nisei Showoff Vs Infamous Long Beach
The tried and true Import Showoff event thrown by legendary import carshow promoter Ken Miyoshi during Downtown LA's annual Nisei Week Festival in Little Tokyo is always a good time. Everyone knows that Nisei Showoff symbolizes the best of the best - the highest standard in modified import cars, with attendance by the OG crews that used to run the streets of Los Angeles when the sport compact scene was just beginning to blow up. The whole vibe at Nisei Showoff feels a bit nostalgic, to be honest. Can it be that it was all so simple then? Good cars and good friends in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by good Japanese restaurants and boutique shops in Little Tokyo.
However, some young car enthusiasts don't care about memory lane nostalgia or waxing poetic about the good old days. For this rapidly growing new generation of frame-scraping tire stretchers, the newly conceptualized Infamous show was thrown as a collaboration between the Fatlace and Canibeat Crews at the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
It's obvious that MotorMavens connects to both scenes and both types of automotive taste, so those who follow @MOTORMAVENS on Instagram and Twitter already know that we decided to hit both shows. Here's a quick gallery of images from both events! Read more...

In addition to the head to head drift action of the Pro-Am, the grassroots drift series was intertwined with the event as well. These drivers are not necessarily novices but they don't have the required safety equipment to run the full track which includes the big 5/8th track.

COVERAGE> MotorMavens Mass Appeal Experience!
If you're into muscle cars, then screw those four bangers. If you're into rotary powered vehicles, then screw those pistons! If you're into road racing and time attack, then screw drifting. If you're into Formula One, well, screw everybody. If you've been around car culture for any length of time, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You also probably know that not everyone feels this way. As we get a bit older and experience some of the great aspects of other car cultures, more and more of us are discovering that we're all the same under the hood – we're all just car guys.
In the middle of 2009 when we started MotorMavens, we established the site on a basic principle – that everyone's voice is validated by their passion for the cars and car culture because the one thing that brings the entire spectrum of car culture together is passion. We call it the "passion principle." Wherever you find some mind blowing interpretation of the automobile and the lifestyle that revolves around it, you also find some passionate person wrenching away – usually with a ton of pride and satisfaction in his/her accomplishments but very little money to show for it. That's exactly what the MotorMavens Crew searches for; we look for that passion in every possible niche of car culture so that we can broadcast it loud and clear to everyone when we find it.
So, what does all of this have to do with the Mass Appeal Show? It's simple. When Ken Block and the Gymkhana Grid team approached us to produce a car show at their Ken Block Invitational, we already knew that it would need to be different than what most people might expect. We knew our car show would need to represent the driving principles of MotorMavens... the car show would have to be multi-car-cultural; reflecting the wide spectrum of car culture that we love so much. It would have to have mass appeal - get it? Read more...

CARSPOTTING> AC Schnitzer E34 BMW 5 Series
It's a rarity to see a 16 year old car in as pristine condition as this. Since my encounters with most 5 series bimmers leave much to be desired, it's always a pleasure to discover one that has been built right - call it a pleasant surprise. This specimen is so clean that, to the untrained eye, it appears almost to have just rolled off the Bavarian assembly line yesterday.
You may recall that, back in the 1990s, the BMW 5 Series was the top mid-sized sedan in its class - a class with very little competition. It was a must have for dads all across suburbia. Well, little has changed since then except that the 5 series has grown up to become a more elegant machine jam packed with enough gizmos and gadgetry to make a technologically inclined person go into mental overload. I could go on and 0n about my take on how the technological interface in modern BMWs dilutes the driving experience, that's not what we're here for. Today, it's all about Adam Luong and his little piece of 5 Series heaven.
It was actually Antonio who first spotted this fine specimen at the Wek'fest in San Francisco. When he saw it again at the Bimmerfest in Pasadena, he told me about it and caught my full attention when he said that it was the cleanest E34 he'd ever seen. With a guy like Antonio saying that, I just had to see for myself. When I saw the car in person, I just had to agree. Read more...

WEBMINING> The Best JZA70 Supra Ever.
Here's something real quick. I was just browsing through one of my new favorite blogs, Kyusha Kai (in Japanese, it means something like modified old school car), when I came across this supeerrrrrrrrrr super dope Supra. This has GOT to be the best JZA70 Supra I've ever laid eyes on. Ever. EVERRRRRRRR.
Just look at that stance. The wheels. The flares. The front chin spoiler and front bumper. The aftermarket vented pieces that replace the turn signal indicators..??? The crazy looking hood and sideskirts! The wangan wing out back. And does it have a roof wing? Can't tell from here. And it has an old school sha-ken sticker.
If this doesn't inspire you to want a JZA70, I don't know what will. I think if more people made JZA70s look like this, maybe the MA70/JZA70 body style Supras might be as popular as S13s or FCs.
Holy crap. Leigh Roto, Brian Urbano, Jose Valle, and all the other MA70/JZA70 owners I know… this is for you guys. Be inspired!

WEBMINING> Bluebird SSS at Flex Auto Yokohama
Back in 2004, I went to visit D1 driver Takahiro Ueno and his shop, Sui Vax in Yokohama, Japan. I was doing a feature photo shoot on Ueno and his shop for Modified Magazine at the time, so I spent the whole day hanging out in Yokohama. When I told him how crazy I was about Japanese nostalgic cars, he said he knew a shop that I would love, and he wanted to take me there. That shop was Flex Auto Review - they restore and sell Japanese classic cars! Ueno was absolutely right. I flipped out when we got there! AWESOME. (I was kind of embarrassed afterwards, because I was so obviously excited when I was walking around Flex Auto... and I didn't quite show the same level of excitement when I was hanging out at Ueno's shop earlier that day. Oops, my bad.) Read more...
VIDEO> Offset is Everything at Nisei
Most Motor Mavens readers have been following Antonio's photos and stories from Nisei Showoff, so we've decided to release a video of the event as well! We really wanted to highlight something that impressed us at the show – the fact that so many of these great cars are stepping up their game with aggressive offset and negative camber!
Forget the trophies – for us, the super slammed cars with the best wheels, stance, engine mods and paint jobs were the stars of the show. Nisei Showoff wasn't about the models (although there were a few that showed up, haha); it was about the hottest street cars. Events like this are becoming more and more rare. We feel privileged that we were there to support Ken Miyoshi on his last Nisei Showoff, because of the great feeling that this show produced. Props to Ken and the Mainstream Productions crew for bringing us an awesome day of street cars and good friends in the middle of Little Tokyo.
We hop you enjoy the video, and don't forget to leave comments!

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND (AP) - David Moyes inherited one of the toughest and most coveted jobs in soccer on Thursday _ succeeding Alex Ferguson as manager of mighty Manchester United.
Moyes is leaving Everton to join the 20-time English champions. He has a six-year contract and will take charge of the newly crowned Premier League champs on July 1.
"It's a great honor to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United," Moyes said in a statement. "I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club."
Ferguson announced on Wednesday he is retiring after nearly 27 years at Old Trafford.
"I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season."
The 50-year-old Moyes is replacing the most successful manager in British soccer history. Ferguson produced 13 of United's 20 English titles and a string of other titles, including two European Cups.
Moyes' arrival should help ensure a smooth transition, with the managing job passing from one Scotsman to another. The 71-year-old Ferguson remains at United as a director.
"When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes," Ferguson said. "David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here."
The former Celtic player made the switch to management at Preston North End in 1998. His club was promoted to the League Championship two years later.
He joined Everton in 2002 and turned the Merseyside club from a relegation contender into a regular qualifier for European competition. In 2005, he guided the club into the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.
Ferociously ambitious and with a sharp eye for emerging talent, Moyes has kept Everton near the top of the Premier League despite limited money to attract the best players.
"There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club," Ferguson said.
Moyes has shown loyalty and staying power in his 11 years with Everton _ attributes that should suit him well in his next job. United is trying to avoid any radical changes to its structure after Ferguson joins the boardroom when the season ends.
United is owned by the Glazer family, which will be relying on Moyes to maintain the club as a force in global soccer. In particular, it wants to make sure the team can service debts of $572 million, according to the latest financial results.
"His hard-working style and steely determination are characteristics we value at the club," co-chairman Joel Glazer said. "He has impressed as a coach for many years now and we strongly believe he will be able to take up from where Alex is leaving off by continuing this club's tradition of flair football played by exciting, world class players."

The worker said she attempted to calm Elderts, who was upsetting a customer
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jul 25, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 2:34 a.m. HST, Jul 26, 2013
A McDonald's cashier testified Wednesday that she told Kollin Elderts to stop his verbal exchange with a customer at the restaurant counter before the deadly 2011 confrontation with U.S. State Department Special Agent Christoper Deedy.
Brandalynn Salzbrenner said Wednesday that Elderts repeatedly said to Michel Perrine in a joking manner, "Can I help you?"
Perrine told him, "No, I got it," and at one point asked Elderts if he was trying to be "racist" because Perrine was "white," according to Salzbrenner.
Perrine testified earlier in the trial that he had a verbal exchange with Elderts at the counter, but said he doesn't recall much after drinking a pitcher of beer and three shots of tequila.
He said the only word he recalled Elderts saying was "haole" multiple times.
Salzbrenner testified she told Elderts to stop because Perrine was getting upset.
Salzbrenner testified as a prosecution witness in the 11th day of Deedy's trial on a murder charge of shooting Elderts at the McDonald's Kuhio Avenue restaurant about 2:45 a.m. Nov. 5, 2011.
Deedy, 29, of Arlington, Va., was here to provide security at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference.
He is accused of shooting the unarmed 23-year-old Kailua man after visiting bars in Chinatown and Waikiki.
Elderts had been celebrating his friends' birthdays and also was at the First Friday festivities in Chinatown the previous night before ending up at McDonald's.
The prosecution contends Deedy was driven by alcohol and inexperience when he instigated the physical altercation by kicking Elderts in the knee.
The defense, however, maintains that Deedy fired in self-defense after he checked on Perrine, which angered Elderts and led to Elderts attacking him.
On the witness stand Wednesday, Salzbrenner did not mention the word "haole" in recounting what she heard.
Salzbrenner said after the verbal exchange, Perrine gave Elderts' friend Shane Medeiros the "stink eye," which led to Medeiros asking Perrine why he was staring at him.
At that point, Deedy went to Medeiros and told him to leave Perrine alone, but Medeiros told the agent not to get involved and that it wasn't his problem.
Deedy and Elderts later got into a physical confrontation, which Salzbrenner said started with the agent kicking Elderts.
Circuit Judge Karen Ahn called a recess when Salzbrenner broke down and wept after she was asked about Deedy reaching for his gun.
She later testified she was "scared."
"If he could have shot one person, he could have shot us all," Salzbrenner said.
Dr. Kanthi De Alwis, retired city medical examiner, testified earlier in the day that Elderts died from a gunshot wound in his chest, with alcohol and signs of marijuana and cocaine in his system.
De Alwis, who performed the autopsy, said the fatal bullet ended up lodged under the skin in Elderts' back.
She said that partially burnt and unburnt gunpowder went through Elderts' plaid shirt, white undershirt and onto his skin, which meant the gun was fired anywhere from a half inch to 10 inches away.
She said Elderts' blood alcohol content was 0.12. Under state law, 0.08 is the legal threshold for drunken driving.
De Alwis said Elderts' blood did not show any signs of methamphetamine or PCP.
Star-Advertiser reporter Sarah Zoellick contributed to this report.
If you watch the video, you will see Seedy pulling drawing his pistol from it's concealed location behind his back. If you listen to the testimony, you will hear that Deedy started firing immediately.
Unless Elderts had x-ray vision, he didn't know Deedy had pulled his gun until it started firing.

Pre-Lot Text A collection that reflects the passion of a hunter who travelled the world in pursuit of big game trophies and exceptional artworks, The Blum Collection is an insightful observation of global culture. Over the past three decades, Rudolf and Leonore Blum traversed continents, developing a sophisticated eye as he assembled species and artworks from around the world. This impressive collection is remarkable both in its breadth and diversity, and stands as a testament to their dedication bring together an unparalleled grouping of artworks which spans the breadth of the art historical canon. Beginning with their earliest explorations into Western Twentieth Century art, as the Blums travelled extensively through Europe and Africa in the 1960s, they became interested in diverse artistic practices, recognizing a deep connection between African art and the Modern art which they had already been collecting. With a steady interest in the local Swiss art scene developing from the 1950s when the Blums collected works by Varlin, Franz Fischer, Gerald Veraguth, and Hans Falk, it was in the early 1960s that they began to build their impressive Twentieth Century art collection. In the 1970s, they extended their collection to include African art and artefacts that complemented their interest in the development of abstraction in Modern and Post-War art. Reflective of Blums'''' grand tour, this collection embraces African Tribal Art, Asian Art, Antiquities, Impressionism, Modern British and European Twentieth century. This extensive and varied collection represents the great masters of these disparate art movements, including Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock, Nicolas de Staël and Alberto Burri. A celebration of a couple''''s deeply sophisticated connoisseurship, these works introduce a dynamic dialogue across periods, genre and media: contrasting cultures and mediums from Antiquity to the new millennia. Confident and brave, the couple was not afraid to juxtapose works of art from all periods –antiquity side by side with contemporary, producing provocative conversation between different periods in time. The powerful curves of Atié figures (DATE....) are perfectly echoed by the lyrical compositions of Wassily Kandinsky Schwebender Druck (1931). The totemic Tribal Fang byeri figures are juxtaposed by the precise geometry of Piet Mondrian''''s Composition A, with double line and yellow (1935). Through these interrelationships, their art collection comes alive, entering into a dialogue not only with the viewer, but with each other. This is also how the Blums came to live with their extensive collection of Western and African art – they too came into dialogue with their objects, simultaneously 'living'''' and 'living with'''' their collection. As board president of the Gimpel and Hanover Galerie, Blum was well placed to inform his eye through close friendships with the Gimpels, Ann Rotzler and Erica Brausen. Indeed it was through the Gimpels that Blum came to become acquainted with Nicolas de Staël and his family and the artist''''s Paysage (1951-52) stands as one of the collector''''s most important early acquisitions. Constructed from a carefully considered patchwork of pure colour blocks, Nicolas de Staël''''s Paysage captures the tension between abstraction and figuration, which epitomises his practice. As expressed through this work by de Staël, the Blum''''s created a collection which, in its entirety, explores the subtle balance between representation and abstraction, which was at the core of much of the art of the Twentieth Century. Some of the earliest Western examples are led by two impressive works from the 1930s, Mondrian''''s Composition A, with double line and yellow (1935) and Wassily Kandinsky''''s Schwebender Druck (1931). These two works outline different tendencies dominating the emergence of abstract art: one, rational, Apollonian and geometrical; the other emotional, Dionysian and lyrical. This duality is further demonstrated in Blum's collection by the contrasts between works by artists as diverse as Paul Klee, Joan Miró, Kurt Schwitters, Walter Dexel and Georges Vantongerloo, as well as British artists such as Ben Nicholson and William Scott, many of whom the Blums had close personal ties with. Just as Mondrian and Kandinsky were engaging with concepts of abstraction, the Post-War artists built upon this legacy, pushing the material boundaries of paint. Pierre Soulages Peinture 128 x 88 cm, 12 février 1960 dates from an important moment in the artist''''s career when he began experimenting with luminosity, scraping back his compositions to expose the shadowy imprint left by his signature black paint. Howard Hodgkin was an artist particularly treasured by the Blums for his ability to infuse remarkable ambience into his work, and we are pleased to offer three of his works in our Modern British auction with Waterfall (1992) offered in the Post-War & Contemporary evening auction. Suggesting natural phenomena without a strict adherence to the confines of figuration, Waterfall overflows the pictorial space, spilling out beyond the painting''''s traditional boundaries. Reuniting geometrical compositions with more impulsive, gestural, expressionistic pictures, Blums'''' art collection tells the story of painting''''s opening towards the forms, patterns, colours and ambitions of abstraction. An astute collector, Blum understood the importance of provenance and the validation of a respected fellow connoisseur''''s eye. The Blums'''' inexhaustible hunt for those works which not only spoke to them, but came into dialogue with their wider collection, brought them into contact with some of the most important dealers and collectors of the Twentieth Century. Of the Modern British artworks in The Blum Collection, William Scott''''s Composition (CLII), (1959), stands out as exceptional example. Following the exhibition of his work at the XXIXth Venice Biennale, Scott enjoyed international recognition, securing a show at the prestigious Galerie Charles Lienhard gallery the following year, where Rudolf Blum frequently bought pictures. Exhibited in November 1959, the initials (CLII) in its title represent the Charles Lienhard provenance. Blum was responding to an artist at the height of his powers, who had naturally developed from his earlier theme of table top still lifes to a second period of abstraction in which the grand scale and strength of colour create a bold dialogue. Ben Nicholson''''s aug 59 (Gadero), also purchased from Blums'''' friend Charles Leinhard, develops the table top theme with a geometric precision, in contrast to Scott''''s work of the same date. Like their collection of paintings, the Blums began collecting African art around 1970, and chose strong and well-structured, one might even say architectural, works: a Fang byeri, a tall Kota reliquary and other Atié figures with powerful curves, all works that found similarity in the eyes of the owner more than bound by any other relation, ethnic or temporal. Here we can find all materials, which enticed them: terracottas, stone monoliths of African forests, bronzes and ivories from the Benin kingdoms, Ashanti gold, copper and brass works of Gabon, and wood from all regions from West, Central and Eastern Africa. According to the remembrances of those closest to them, the Blums'''' particularly enjoyed objects which challenged the viewer, inviting critique and opening themselves to deeper contemplation. Indeed to display and juxtapose contrasting works of art side by side, bringing objects of different media and culture together in dialogue is an art form in of itself. What all of these objects have in common is the research and patient desire of the collector to obtain what he has uncovered as an unparalleled specimen of its kind, qualities that find much in common with his own journey of discovery. The Blums appreciation for this aspect of connoisseurship aligns their collection in spirit with many of the great world art collections from the early Cabinets of Curiosities or Kunstkammer of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II to the expansive collections of nature and art which would comprise Europe''''s first public museum collections. The Blum Collection is a tribute to the intellectual approach, inquisitive eye, and passion of its creators.

Today's recipe is a soft sweet potato roll. It honestly doesn't hold up well with sloppy joes or pulled pork. The buns are very soft and can get mushy, but the taste and texture is heavenly. I served these with pulled pork tender loin. We ate quickly….it was delicious!
Sweet Potato Buns
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1 & 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp guar gum
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup sweet potato cooked and mashed
- 1 cup water
|Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
|In a mixing bowl whisk together chickpea flour, brown rice flour, tapioca flour,cream of tartar, baking soda, guar gum, and sea salt.
|In a separate bowl combine coconut oil, honey, sweet potato, and water. Blend in food processor until smooth.
|Add sweet potato mixture to the flour mixture and beat with hand mixer till smooth.
|Line a rimmed backing tray with parchment paper. Place dollops of batter on parchment paper and smooth into two to three inch circles.
OR you can bake these in a greased whoopie cookie pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
This is the whoopie cookie pan I use to make my sweet potato buns.Its the

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Nearly 900 Indiana residents have applied for disaster assistance to date and more than $1.4 million has been approved for eligible applicants. Officials want to make sure no one is overlooked.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) officials are enlisting the help of area residents to ensure everyone is aware that disaster assistance is available.
So far the agencies have used television, radio, newspapers, Internet, flyers and door-to-door visits to get the word out. By using the Tell-Your-Neighbor campaign, they now are getting the public involved by notifying their neighbors that they may be eligible to receive federal disaster help.
"We're hoping the public will help us spread the message," said FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Regis Phelan. "Take a few moments to call or knock on your neighbors' doors to see if they have applied with FEMA and the SBA."
"Disasters tend to bring out the best in people, so we're confident the public will help speed the recovery by talking to their neighbors and relatives," said IDHS Executive Director Joseph Wainscott, Jr.
Severe storms, tornadoes and flooding from March 8-14 affected many Indiana neighborhoods. President Obama declared 13 counties federal disaster areas for Individual Assistance; this opened the door for federal funds to assist homeowners, renters and business owners in recovery. Three more counties were added on May 13.
FEMA Housing Assistance grants cover rental assistance, home repairs and replacement of essential household items not covered by insurance. The objective is to make damaged dwellings safe, sanitary and functional. Other Needs Assistance grants may be available to replace personal property and help meet medical, dental, funeral, transportation and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance or other federal, state and charitable-aid programs.
Eligible residents affected by these storms and flooding should apply as soon as possible by calling the toll-free registration number at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Speech- or hearing-impaired individuals may call TTY 1-800-462-7585. Individuals also can apply for disaster assistance at the FEMA Web site www.disasterassistance.gov.
The SBA offers low-interest disaster loans to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private nonprofit organizations for losses not fully covered by insurance. The SBA may lend up to $200,000 to repair or replace homes and up to $40,000 to repair or replace personal property. Also, up to $2 million is available for businesses for their uncompensated disaster losses.
For more information about SBA, call the SBA Customer Service Center from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (EDT) Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (EDT), Saturday, at 1-800-659-2955 for information and assistance. Victims may apply online at disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/. Applicants also may visit the SBA Web site at www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Officials want to encourage those residents who may be hesitant to register for disaster assistance. This is not charity; this is federal taxpayer money set aside specifically for disaster assistance. Also, the assistance one individual may receive will not take away from another applicant's federal assistance funds.
Although the assistance process may continue after the deadline, June 22 will be the last day to call or go online to apply for FE...

I'm going to sew a top for my daughter, NL 6216 (view B). The smallest size is an 8 which gives a finished busy measurement of 36.5" her FB measurement is 32". It's a knit top so certainly doesn't require 4" of ease and especially not on her small frame (HB measures 30.5"). Front and back are cut on the fold. Can I just allow the "excess" to hang over the fold, this making the pattern smaller??
Singer Stylist 7258 | Kenmore 1503 | Brother 1034D
My Big 4 Sizing: Medium | Tops 14/16 | Pants 18 | Skirts 16/18.
My Measurements: 36 HB | 39.5 FB | 34 W | 44 Hip
The top is designed to be oversized. You'll probably have problems with the shoulder width if you do that. Maybe you should pick something that's more fitted. -- Edited on 8/27/13 7:40 PM --
Yeah I wondered that. She's a picky 15 year old and this was one of few patterns that she liked in my stash :)
What about the Kirsten Kimono Tee? It's kind of similar, and I see you've made it for yourself. It would look cute on a 15 year old.
I thought the same thing! She turned her nose up at the kimono tee but then asked for the NL pattern. I said, hmmm. This looks REALLY similar. I bet she wouldn't even notice the difference. She probably just didn't want the "same" shirt as mom ;)
Sew it up in a completely different fabric and see how she likes it? Teenagers!
:) thanks Debbie!
I believe there are some free downloadable tees.

Thanks Marilyn!!
When younger and into their teens, my daughters would always look at the fabric portrayed on the pattern (not the actual pattern) to decide if they liked it or not...all my explanations that the one I would make would be a different fabric of their choosing was just too much to understand...thank goodness they understand the concept now...:)
I do not weep at the world I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.

It hasn't really hit me that it's the start of Memorial Day weekend. My head seems to be in one of two places: checking off our to-dos before baby comes (which could officially be anytime now) and staying cool (with feet elevated!). For the first time, the start of summer and 80 degree weather is not a welcome treat. Heat and pregnancy don't seem to mix. So I plan on staying cool this weekend, seeing some friends, enjoying having Dan home for three days, and maybe indulging in my favorite popsicle. Hope you have a great long weekend!

Solar power us to new heights with a most ambitious Moon wrapped in photovoltaic paneling.
Energy demands on Earth have inspired some of the most insane ideas for providing electricity. One of those ideas realized in a big way was to harness heat from nuclear radiating rods to spin dynamos, and it has a few times over proven a disasterous way to power up. A most recent nuclear power disaster at the Fukashima power plant in Japan has inspired the devastated nation to keep looking for a cleaner way to generate electricity. The new Japanese idea is either far more insane than nuclear power or the renewable energy solution to all of our planets power needs.
The Luna Ring concept places an enormous ring of solar panels all around the Moon that would beam energy to receivers on Earth! Shimizu Corporation originally proposed the idea in 2010, among a world of crazy energy proposals, but the interst in it really took off after the Fukashima nuclear plant was rocked by an Earthquake into placing Japan well within unprecedented danger. Now, Shimizu Corp is running the Luna Ring proposal with a tone of seriousness that promotes a possibility that it's construction could begin as early as 2013… That is a sobering reality.
The Luna Ring would be a 250 mile wide x 6,800 mile long belt fitted around the Moon.
More than a planetary fashion statement, the Luna Ring would send some 13,000 terrawatt of power to humble conversion stations on the Earth's surface. Because the Moon is beyond our clouds there would not be any blockage in harnessing the sun, and the Moon solar energy generation would be continuously beaming to us 24/7. The energy gathered by the Sun is immediately sent to a solar cell facility on the Moon's side that is always facing Earth, there the electricity is converted to high-energy-density laser beam and microwave power that is directed at receiving stations on Earth where the juice is converted again to electricity for distribution. The Luna Ring can provide a large majority of electricity we humans will utilize in the mid 21st century.
The cost to build such an array is undisclosed by Shimizu Corp. They believe that it can be achieved by 2035, and will not be as outstanding as it seems by utilizing robots that can use the soil on the moon to produce cement stabilizers for the colossal installation. The Japanese Aeronautics Exploration Agency and NASA both have unique plans for 2020 to utilize a similar beaming of energy from space stations to Earth, that may prove the Luna Ring a good idea in the long run. One must worry if there are dangers to microwave and laser beaming stuff through the atmosphere to the Earth's surface.

Kanstul makes only fine instruments. Well built, nicely finished, near pitch perfect, I love this horn.

I am very Happy with this horn, it play easy in all ranges and is light weight. Great for my Ensemble work.
Good no problems
Very good value for thr price..
Comments about Kanstul 700 Series Bb Trumpet:
This is an outstanding horn and value. It shares the same valve block as its big brother, the Kanstul 1537, and it plays and sounds beautiful for both classical and jazz music. Has a nice, rich, full tone/sound w/ nice overtones, and very good core. Kanstul makes some of the finest horns in the world and some of the other great companies have their horns made by Kanstul like Tony Scodwell and Flip Oakes, among others. Excellent valve action, intonation, and ease of play.
Comments about Kanstul 700 Series Bb Trumpet:
The Kanstul KTR-700S is an outstanding little horn that offers you professional sound and performance for a student trumpet price. How can this be? Well, you get the or one of the best horn builders named Zigmant Kanstul to make it. He doesn't know how to make anything but outstanding quality horns, and the consumer benefits from buying anything made by him. Great response, beautifully rich tone and focused sound, excellent intonation, slotting, quality that lasts for many years of trouble-free service. This horn plays and sounds similar to a Bach Strad 37 and even shares some of its specs. You can play jazz or classical with this horn, no problem. Outstanding quality for an outstanding price. Great ProTec case and mouthpiece come with this horn. My above ratings are based on this horn's category, which is most appropriately "step-up horn," but it can definitely holds its own against full-on pro horns, and several touring pros play this horn.

Semipermanent Eyebrow Tattoos
Big, Beautiful Eyebrows From Scratch — Literally
Like us on Facebook
During the service, a staff member works with the client to first analyze the facial structure and determine a brow shape and color. Once the perfect brow is agreed upon, the technician draws on the shape, numbs the skin with a cream, and then etches on lifelike "hairs" using 100 percent vegetable dye. It's a steep price at $925, but the veggie brows are meant to last for two years, providing a less permanent (and less painful) alternative tattooing. If money was no object, would you try the Brow Resurrection?

REVIEW: Tiny Titans #50
AW YEAH FINALE! All good things must come to an end, and tragically that includes one of the best all-ages comics of our era, Tiny Titans. Thankfully, as we see in this issue, it is ending to make way for another all-ages comic by the same creative team!
Tiny Titans #50
Writers: Art Baltazar and Franco
Artist: Art Baltazar
Editor: Kristy Quinn
Price: $2.99
Publisher: DC Comics
Previously in Tiny Titans… The students of Sidekick Elementary have gotten up to 49 glorious issues of mayhem, relevant bits of which include Beast Boy's unrequited love for Terra, which is typically responded to with the bestowing of rocks to Beast Boy's head.
There hasn't been a large overarching story to the Tiny Titans books; they're clearly aimed at children and designed to be picked up by anyone at any point. Yet this episodic nature doesn't mean there's a lack of continuity–in fact Art and Franco have developed an incredibly rich continuity for their characters, and this issue ties some things up while being perfectly accessible for new readers. Beast Boy decides he wants to relaunch his personal continuity in such a way that Terra will like him more; he knows that Terra likes Superman, so Beast Boy puts on a Superman costume so he'll look like Superman, and gets help from Cyborg and Robin to tie himself to a rocket so he can fly like Superman as well. As anyone who's ever read a comic book could probably predict, the plan backfires a bit and Beast Boy's rocket overshoots his target and lands in Smallville, on the Kent farm.
Over the span of this issue, we see nearly every character who has appeared in the Tiny Titans series–very few of them get lines (which is inevitable considering the massive cast the comic's seen) but it's nice to see creators clearly passionate about the characters they've played with. The scene at the Kent Farm sees a crowd of Titans gather around Beast Boy and Superman, and Terra comes up and shocks the crowd by kissing Beast Boy. This is the sort of apocalyptic event that can only happen at the end of the series, coupled with the first time we've seen a full head-to-toe shot of an adult (other than Alfred) on panel, as Superman comes down from his usual position of hovering with his head out of the panel. For someone new to the comic, all these would seem like average, everyday occurence, but for someone who's been reading Tiny Titans as long as I have (in the "original issues," with all the spluttering that phrase entails) these are obviously signs that something is special about this issue. If it hadn't already been obvious this was the last issue (what with that information emblazoned on the front of the book), a veteran would've quickly realized something was different.
The scene at the Kent farm involves Superboy, Supergirl and Superman getting new costumes to look more like their post-relaunch selves, and then the book transitions into a preview of Art and Franco's new project, Superman: Family Adventures. When I heard they were going from Tiny Titans, month in and month out one of my favorite comics, to a book called "Superman: Family Adventures" I was heartbroken. While I knew it would be a book my wife and I would someday get in trades for our future children, I don't have enough of a passion for the Superman Family that I thought I would enjoy an entire book related to the characters. But Art and Franco's passion for all things Superman is infectious in the preview; from page one, I was hooked. This is the wink-wink nudge-nudge tongue in cheek Superman that is incredibly fun, rather than a Superman that decides to walk across America because it had been 17 years since Forrest Gump. While I thought the end of Tiny Titans would be reducing my pull list by $3 a month, I am happy to say it looks like it'll be staying at its current level with this replacement.
THE VERDICT: Fun Final Issue with an Equally Fun Preview!
Tiny Titans #50 does everything a final issue is supposed to, ranking it favorably with other recent finales such as those for Bryan Q Miller's Batgirl and Gail Simone's Secret Six. Even if you haven't been reading this title, if you are interested in all-ages comics (and keep in mind all-ages doesn't mean it's just for kids–this book has plenty of jokes for adult comic fans as well!) you should pick up this issue and Art and Franco's next venture, Superman: Family Adventures! I give Tiny Titans #50 a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars for concluding one of my favorite series and making me believe Beast Boy can fly (even when he's not a Pterodactyl)

The program removes the free warning given to players during the regular season and assesses a fine on the first flopping offense.With a little under four minutes remaining in the third quarter and Indiana leading 57-54, Heat forward LeBron James pushed the ball up the court to initiate a possession. As he approached the three-point line, James attempted to pull up and Stephenson came running into him from behind. James used his right arm to brush off Stephenson, who tossed his arm in the air and flailed his head backwards as he fell to the floor.The collision drew a whistle, and after checking to see whether he had drawn the charge, Stephenson rolled over and lay on his side once he realized he had been called for the foul. He remained motionless, as if sleeping, for a number of seconds before Paul George picked him up off the court.Stephenson was warned twice for flopping during the regular season, incurring a $5,000 fine for his second violation. He was also fined for flopping during the 2013 playoffs.The Second Annual Floppies: The 10 most ridiculous dives of the 2013-14 seasonStephenson will now be subject to the postseason fine scale for flopping.Violation 1: $5,000 fineViolation 2: $10,000 fineViolation 3: $15,000 fineViolation 4: $30,000 fineIf a player violates the anti-flopping rule five times or more, he will be subject to discipline that is reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension.Tuesday was a busy night for Stephenson, who finished with a game-high 25 points (on 10-of-17 shooting), seven assists and six rebounds in a losing effort. His consistent energy and scoring weren't enough to prevent the Heat from evening the series at one game apiece.Game 3 is set for Miami on Saturday night.

Minnesota Uniform Formulary Exception Form
Please note the following changes:
Minnesota 2009 Session Laws, Chapter 79, Article 4, Sec. 4 required the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), to develop a "uniform formulary exception form". MDH consulted with the Minnesota Administrative Uniformity Committee (AUC) and interested parties in developing and making available the Minnesota Uniform Formulary Exception Form (UFEF) in mid-2009. The UFEF was very similar to another form that MDH also developed in consultation with the AUC and the industry, for prescription drug Prior Authorization (PA) requests. Because of the similarities between the two forms, MDH has created a single, combined UFEF and prescription drug PA request form: the Minnesota Uniform Form for Prescription Drug Prior Authorization (PA) Requests and Formulary Exceptions. This single, combined form supersedes all previous versions of the UFEF.
Please also note:
- This Minnesota Uniform Form for Prescription Drug Prior Authorization (PA) Requests and Formulary Exceptions is intended for use by health care providers and group purchasers (payers). Please do not submit completed forms to the Minnesota Department of Health.
- The Form is the single form to be used by health care providers to request exceptions from group purchaser (payer) formularies.
- All health care providers must submit requests for formulary exceptions using the form, and all group purchasers must accept the form from health care providers.
- Group purchasers may request additional information or clarification to ensure that formulary exception requests are processed as accurately and efficiently as possible.
- Group purchasers are also encouraged to respond to the formulary exception request using a particular section ("Section G") of the form.
- Group purchasers may supply additional instructions or other relevant or legally required information with their response. No later than January 1, 2011, the form must be accessible and submitted by health care providers, and accepted and processed by group purchasers, through secure electronic transmissions. As a result of Minnesota Laws, Chapter 336, Sec. 4, facsimile is now considered a form of electronic transmission for the purpose of transmitting formulary exception requests.
