Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Emanuel Schikaneder
Première on 30th October 1978 at the Nationaltheater
Première of the Revised Production on 31st October 2004 at the Nationaltheater
The Joy of Drawing Has Remained
A Conversation with Jürgen Rose about the Revised Production of Die Zauberflöte
They look like works of art all by themselves: the sketches, stage settings and costume designs Jürgen Rose created in elaborately loving detail for August Everding's production of Die Zauberflöte back in 1978. In their abundance and elaborateness, they document the development of a production concept and bring back many a memory.
For this revised production of Die Zauberflöte you worked together with the theatre craftspeople to overhaul and freshen up the sets and costumes. What do you feel about an artistic work that meanwhile lies 26 years in the past? Is this also an encounter with yourself?
That's exactly the point: we recognize ourselves in these works, and yet they are somewhat unfamiliar at the same time, because, of course, we've developed further. I was amazed at the nonchalance with which I approached this piece, and the ideas that emerged. I would do many things totally differently today. But we have to be very careful to keep from destroying our original ideas. Ultimately our task today is to give the production a new sheen, and restore some things that have perforce worn out over the years: whether these are damaged stage backdrops or hangers which have fallen away for pragmatic reasons, costumes that are missing or are no longer in their original condition because they had to be altered every time a role was re-cast, and so on. I've gotten used to this in the course of all the work I've done, especially for the ballet. John Cranko or John Neumeier ballets I designed 20, 30, 40 years ago are still being performed all over the world, and all the ballet companies place great value on keeping them as original as possible.
The sketches, designs and drawings that came about for this Zauberflöte production document different phases of the conceptual work. However, they also reveal that there were originally some ideas that were later not implemented. Does that indicate that the artistic conception had gone through a long maturation process?
Fundamentally, I need a lot of time to develop my ideas. It begins with collecting a great deal of material - photos, pictures, fabric samples, etc., which I can use to give form to my initial thoughts on the piece. In the case of Zauberflöte I had an abundance of images and ideas in my head, and I would have liked to put them all on the stage. Things were similar with August Everding, who was not staging the work in Munich for the first time. I remember, for example, that initially we had thought of a lavish salon for the Queen of the Night, a very feminine world in contrast to Sarastro's domain, which we saw as architecturally more severe, built into a cliff or something like that. We considered how the Three Ladies might look, if they are perhaps birds, in other words fictional creatures like the serpent, or warrior maidens, and many other things. Then we began sorting out and discussing the various details. During these meetings I kept drawing sketches, so to speak as memoranda to myself. I work the same way with other stage directors. The complicated thing with Everding, however, was the he was so full of zeal for action, and there was never enough time for all the things he planned. Something always intervened: phone calls, appointments, visitors. When we started on the Zauberflöte, which was a very difficult piece for me, I really had to lock him up at my home, without the telephone or any other contact possibilities to the outside world so we could work concentratedly for a few hours on the piece. Those hours were terrific. Everding was absolutely brimming over with ideas, and his thoughts about the context of the drama and the music were absolutely thrilling. He really provoked me to turn those ideas into images. For all of this, when we went into rehearsal a half year later, many things had changed, and he showed up with new ideas he had just come up with. I actually like that sort of thing. But at a specific point in time a stage concept has to be nailed down in its basic structure. With Die Zauberflöte with its frequent scene changes, that is especially urgent. On top of that there was the difficulty of bringing this piece onto the huge stage of the Nationaltheater. I would have preferred doing it in the Prinzegententheater or even in the Cuvilliès-Theater, where the visual factors are more intimate and the technical sequences not quite so elaborate.
Everding stressed that the piece had to be performed seamlessly, in other words without long interruptions and scene changes. How did you manage that?
Naturally we used the stage machinery, but on such a big stage it always takes a few seconds for the side wagons to travel in or out, or for yard-long walls to open and close. There was always the hazard of things getting stalled. That's why from time to time there were highly pragmatic reasons for changing the concept, in which the stage director would have to invent additional actions to make it possible for a given change in the scenic sequence to become integrated. Fortunately Everding was a real past master at that.
Everding was also determined to stress the human qualities in the characters and thus bring the basic idea of humanity to the fore. This was particularly clear in the characterization of the priests as 18th century human beings.
That was something totally new back then. Until that time the priests were generally decked out in Egyptian accessories, helmets from the time of the pharaohs, ritualistic garments, that sort of thing, For us, as you said, it was important to show them as human beings. Human beings who could have been Mozart's contemporaries. We wanted our singers - Mr. Adam, Mr. Vogel, Mr. Auer and the others - to look quite natural, without artificially bouffant wigs, with their own hair, with only a pigtail pinned on to indicate the historical period. That was unusual back then, and I can remember that Jean Pierre Ponnelle in the Salzburg Zauberflöte production he did shortly after ours also had the priests come out in 18th century costumes. On the large stage of the Nationaltheater this attempt at individualization however didn't quite come off. Today we would create different stage areas that focus more on the characters. That principle had not yet established itself back then.
One special "trade mark" of this production is also the wonderful bed-tree at the end and the entrance of the many little Papagenos and Papagenas.
Everding retained that idea with the children in all of his Zauberflöte productions. I'm sure there were also highly personal reasons for this. Everding had married rather late in life and then became the father of four sons. This conclusion attests to this highly personal happiness he felt, and it always goes over very well with the audience. Of course, a theatre man like Everding had calculated that precisely.
For the difficult question of who the Three Boys are and where they come from, you decided on a "floating" solution.
Here it was quite clear to us right from the start that these would definitely have to be three real children. Back then those roles were generally sung by three girl choristers. But we wanted children, three boys, who, in keeping with their enigmatic origin, become transformed in the course of the play, sometimes appearing as little Mozarts, sometimes as children from well-heeled homes, sometimes as little scamps. In any cased we wanted them to look totally terrestrial, even though they come floating in on a cloud.
We can also see this urge for naturalness in the delineation of the costume designs, when we look at your designs for the chorus, or more precisely, the "people".
The people have only a tangential function in this drama. They come on to welcome Sarastro with jubilation, and they come back at the end, when Tamino and Pamina are taken into the community of the initiated. For this they often put the ladies in priestly robes, which makes absolutely no sense, because the unprecedented event here is that Pamina is the first woman to be taken into the order. I myself made those priestess costumes back in the sixties for a Zauberflöte production in Berlin, but it must always have been a disturbance. That's why I considered how the people might look. I found the inspiration during a trip to Italy, where I saw Neapolitan crêches with their large spectrum of common people statuettes, whose liveliness fascinated me. The Munich National Museum owns a very large collection of such statuettes, and I myself began collecting them so I could study them down to the last detail. The same thing applies to Monostatos and the slaves. That way we were able to get away from the cliché of the evil Monostatos and give him a more human face.
Many of the costumes had to be reworked for the new revision. Were there problems there?
It was very complicated. The greatest difficulty was finding similar fabrics. You have to realize that most of the companies we originally acquired our materials from no longer exist today. Back then we had the good fortune that the Fuchs Company in Augsburg arranged to have the original fabrics for the costumes of the Queen and the Three Ladies woven for us in India. That may sound terribly upscale, but in those days it was totally affordable. Today we have to look around the textile market, that is to say select our materials from catalogues. Those fabric catalogues, however, are geared in color and material to current fashion trends. The few special firms that still exist today generally want to sell in large quantities. It also happens that a fabric, despite the same production number, looks quite different today. We saw that in the Queen of the Night costume. It's still the same gown Edita Gruberova wore back in 1978, and all the Queens after her have also worn. Now it is already totally worn out. But the newly supplied cloth isn't anywhere near as beautiful. So we had to decide in each individual situation whether we could retain the old costume or whether we would have to make a new one, in certain cases by sacrificing some æsthetic qualities. The same applies to the settings. This often has to do with certain skills, such as flat painting, which today's craftspeople have not mastered on the same level today because there isn't that much of a demand for it because of the change in stage æsthetics. And so we just had to refer back to what we already had.
You also staged Zauberflöte yourself for the first time in 1999 in Bonn. Were you influenced there by your experience in Munich?
No, because twenty years had passed from one production to the other. I saw it more as an opportunity to implement ideas I hadn't yet realized. Of course I wanted the sequence to continue seamlessly here as well, but it was important to me to create more intimate spaces and delineate the characters more precisely. For instance, I wanted to make Monostatos into a really loving person and stage his tragedy as something like Othello's and generally focus more on the relationships of the individual characters.
Are your set and costume designs today just as "picturesque" as your Zauberföte designs?
I work somewhat differently today and prefer to develop costumes on the body. I imagine a fabric or a color and want to try both of them out first on a dummy to see how the cloth falls or what effect the color has. In earlier times I would first paint the design, so to speak as a kind of ideal situation. Of course I still have to draw a lot of sketches, especially for ballet productions. They are the work material for the costume workshops. I like doing that, too, exactly as I still like to build my stage design models. Especially in the case of Zauberflöte, I designed the various spaces in minute detail on my models all the way to putting little figurines in them. That gave me a better spatial orientation than the drawing. To this day, I always begin a new job by initially designing the spaces for myself alone. Not until later, when the set is technically fixed, do I work with assistants on a stage model. I also need this first phase of concentration and the solitude that goes with it to develop costumes. I need to be alone when I face the challenge of sitting in front of an empty sheet of paper, designing, rejecting and starting over. But then I suddenly begin having fun again as I work everything through precisely. Over the past years I have drawn costume designs in the form of little scenes, in groups of figures. This of course has to do with my work as a stage director, which I am doing more and more these days. But the joy of drawing has remained.

AUBURN HILLS, MI (WHTC-Holland, MI) - It wasn't home cooking, but it was the next best thing for both Michigan State and Michigan on Saturday.
The Spartans and Wolverines cruised to third round victories in the NCAA basketball tournament at the Palace of Auburn Hills. U-M started first and disposed of Virginia Commonwealth, 78-53. Mitch McGary led the Maize and Blue with 21 points and 14 rebounds.
Following that game, MSU came out and throttled Memphis, 70-48. Gary Harris had 23 points for the Green and White.
Put on opposite sides of the bracket that would keep them from facing each other until the national championship game in Atlanta on April 8, Michigan State and Michigan will wait until tomorrow night's action before knowing who their next opponent will be. MSU will face either Duke or Creighton in the Midwest Regional semifinal at Indianapolis next Friday evening. U-M tackles the Kansas-North Carolina winner in the South Regional semifinal at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, also next Friday evening.

There were demonstrators on the Capitol steps and protesters in the Senate gallery all hoping for a vote Wednesday on Medicaid expansion. It was a vote that did not come.The Democrats blamed the Republicans."The Senate Republicans stand alone in their ignorance and obstinance," said Sen. Gretchen Whitmer, the Senate Democratic leader.It was an unusual scene in the state Senate. It was taped off like a crime scene. All the chairs, the voting machines and other amenities for the senators were gone. New carpeting will be installed this summer in the chamber.So as senators stood around, the Democrats pressed for a vote while the Republicans called for more time to study the bill."Why does Michigan always have to be the last one at the table when it's talking about taking care of our people," Whitmer said. "We're ready to vote. We've been ready. Anyone who says this is a new issue has either been asleep at the wheel or is just full of baloney."Senate Republican Leader Sen. Randy Richardville said he expects a committee vote perhaps by the end of July.Congressman John Dingell was watching this all unfold. He sponsored the national healthcare law, and he believes money and lies are in play."This is going to save Michigan about a billion dollars over ten years if they vote for it. Second of all, it is going to give something like 220,000 people healthcare immediately," Dingell said.The governor, who has been critical of the inaction by Senate Republicans, is now singing a different tune."I think they're working at a faster pace then they previously were working at, which I think is a good thing," Gov. Rick Snyder said.So the talking will continue, but the voting will wait for another day.

"As it stands right now we don't know that president Pugh has committed any crimes. As it stands right now there has been no evidence of malfeasants."Saunteel Jenkins, today becoming the interim leader of the Detroit City Council. She's now sitting in the seat where we usually see Charles Pugh. Jenkins is the acting president because Gary Brown wasn't at today's meeting. Usually he would fill Pugh's seat. "While the President is not here and the President Pro Tem, the next ranking member at this point, takes on another role that leaves me as the third highest vote getter." Jenkins said. Pugh, hasn't been heard from or seen in days. Not even his fellow council people have a clue as to where he is.
Ken Cockrel Jr. said, "If there was nothing untoward here and you don't have anything to hide, why be bunkered down? The problem is when you disappear, it really starts to fan the flames and creates the perception that maybe he really did do something wrong." Pugh asked for 3-4 weeks of sick leave. That request was denied by Detroit's top boss Kevyn Orr, the emergency manager. He was told how up to work or lose your paycheck and your power. That order from the EM coming down today.
The requested absence comes on the heels of allegations from the mother of a now 18-year-old who is alleging Pugh gave her son gifts and money without her knowledge. But it's the text messages, not gifts that are said to have been exchanged that are causing the most concern. "It was like a Penn State situation. There was an authority figure who went into a school and used his authority to, and I'm not talking about sexually, but with absolute certainty to seduce this young man."
The spokesman for the teen's family Skip Mongo said. "This is another text message scandal and this involves at the time a 17-year-old kid, now 18-year old kid. So in my opinion, this text message scandal... it puts the Kwame Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty between two consenting adults, it puts that to shame." When asked if the emergency manager's office had heard from Charles Pugh, EM spokesman Bill Nowling said, "We have not heard from him since we talked with him on Tuesday. The deadline for yesterday came and passed without any notice from him. So the emergency manager moved forward with his plan to draft an order that would remove the pay and benefits for council member Pugh and also his power as president."

The blind side of love
A Twilight Fanfiction
By: Zaicha The Vampire Goddess
You don't have to see the one you love to know that it's the one.
I'm Edward Mason and this is my love story:
Who said that you have to see the one you love to that she's the one? I can't say that exactly because I've been blind since I was 10 years old. Ever since then I've been living in the dark, but as the years passed I had learned to cope with my incapacity. Is been hard and sometimes I thought that it was unfair but who said that life is fair?
I'm almost 18 years old my twin sister Alice is my best friend; we are both on our way to college. She had dedicated every minute of her life to take care of me. She's the best friend or sister that anyone could ask for and I love her a lot. Sometimes I wished that she had a boyfriend; she has a few friends but I know that she hasn't gone on a date in a long time, she had cared too much for me.
My mother, what can I say about my dear mother Esme, she has also dedicated her life to take care of me and Alice. She's been a widow since my father died in the car accident in wich I lost my vision. It was caused by a drunk driver; my father died instantly. Since then I had to learn to live without eyes; I had learned to see with my other senses. It wasn't easy but that was the way I have to live.
I refuge myself in music, I relearned to play the piano and a few years ago I started composing music. Next fall Alice and I will be entering college, mom didn't want me to enroll but I convinced her. She's a bit overprotective but I love her anyway.
I have to say that I've never fell in love. Let's face it, who will want a boyfriend who can't see? Alice says that we will find love together, I laugh every time she says that. Maybe for her but for me…
You don't know how wrong I was, very, very, very wrong…

Off the WallWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published April 24, 2014
A few years ago, I had the good fortune to attend one of the inaugural "Where the Chefs Eat" culinary tours of Houston (www.houstonculinarytours.com) , which introduced participants to a bevy of eateries that aren't on the radar of most visitors. We ate cabrito accompanied by live mariachi at El Hidalguense, an unassuming restaurant on Long Point Road; compared barbecue at three sites known for their different styles; explored the foods of Thailand and India until we thought we might burst; then wrapped up with an exploration of the vast ethnic-food aisles at 99 Ranch Market—all accompanied by such nationally regarded chefs as Monica Pope, Hugo Ortega, Randy Evans, and Chris Shepherd, who observed, "I think a lot of people are afraid to get out of their comfort zones. When they do, though, it becomes more than just going out to eat; it becomes an education into another culture."

Nontraditional Offerings Draw Museum VisitorsWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published March 25, 2014
With spring officially here and summer around the corner, lots of folks are making vacation (and staycation) plans. Museums, since they are usually gloriously climate-controlled and require no slathering of sunscreen to enjoy, make great escapes when the mercury rises, and their offerings are more diverse than you might imagine. For example, most museums these days complement exhibits—whether they present art, history, science, or other disciplines—with film screenings, lectures, art demonstrations, kids' activities like storytimes and DIY crafts, and even themed dance parties. Not only does this expanded focus bring the museums new audiences, but it also helps make the collections more relevant and accessible to visitors who may have previously thought they weren't "museum types."
When you get down with your funky self amid a collection of modern sculptures, or meditate in a gallery filled with Japanese antiquities, it's easier to find a visceral, lasting connection with the museum-going experience.

The last day of school was full of excitement at Amerman Elementary in Northville. Students left to enjoy summer vacation after learning about all kinds of things, including the environment.
Amerman is considered an Emerald Green School because of its various green projects from an outdoor garden and butterfly garden to a self-watering green wall growing indoors and, of course, recycling.
"Because we've been able to recycle material and take some of the things that kids have at lunch, put it in our compost pile, we've reduced our garbage footprint by seven pounds a day," principal Dr. Stephen Anderson explained.
He said Amerman students also do water quality testing with Friends of the Rouge, and this year they raised $13,000 for a solar pavilion. It will be built in the next few months.
"We hope it will reduce our energy costs ... and, of course, our carbon footprint. Now in these tight budgetary situations, if we can reduce some of our costs that's always good," Anderson said.
The school serves 545 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. What they learn at school they take home to their parents. Preparations are already being made for new green projects.
In the greenhouse there is an experiment underway. They're growing plants to see what will survive on a green roof they will be planting next school year.
"If we're trying to grow plants here, that's biology, that's science. We're measuring using mathematics. We are writing down information in a non-fiction manner, so that's writing," Anderson remarked.
He said the environment provides countless teachable moments, lessons that are good for the planet and will last a lifetime.

Obama's Dog Dilemma
Does it really matter if he adopts or buys?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Anonymous | January 13 2009 | Permalink
Yes, I think it is important that he keeps true to his word that he is going to adopt a new bestfriend for his children. It sets an example to the US that shelters should be in the forefront of everyones minds and that he is a man of his word. He promised the American public that his pet would come from a shelter. If he had not promised then it wouldn't matter. What message is he tring to convey?

This is very, very bad for Labradoodles and Portuguese Water Dogs. Now they're on the radar. We'll be seeing them in shelters in a few years. I would have voted for a mutt like Obama.
Submitted by StephenHJ | January 13 2009 | Permalink
Regarding "putting them on the radar" - Does it not matter the the Obama family took the time to do the research and determine what type of dog would fit their family best? If honorable breeders, rescue agencies, and shelters use this (as they should) for an advertising point, would not good dogs of all breeds find better homes?
Submitted by Melissa | January 13 2009 | Permalink
I don't think it matters. As long as they are responsible choices. He did say he would adopt - so he should follow through, but I don't like how reputable dog fanciers and breeders are being demonized either in favor of shelter-only adoption agendas. I think there can be a happy medium.
You are not very likely to find Portuguese Water dogs in shelters..and a reputable AKC breeder might be the best bet. Or at least working with breeders or a national breed club can help find one that needs re-homing. A lot of dogs that need re-homing end up in foster homes or back with the breeder and not in a shelter.

We are a silly people, and our nation as a whole spends a lot of time reading silly magazines and imitating "stars", whether they be movie or political. Look at the stir Michelle's dress caused on Nov. 4th. It's a fact what people in the spotlight do is replicated by the "rest of us", whether it is honorable or not that we spend our time and money doing it.
That is why adoption is crucial. I don't think the dog has to come from a shelter, tho, unless he wanted to be really bold and adopt a pit bull and show the rest of the world how to properly train and manage a dog of this breed. My dog, an Italian greyhound, came thru a breed-specific rescue group. I took an online test to find out what was the best breed of dog for my lifestyle and expectations and getting the right type of dog was most important. Then I tried to figure out where to find one. I considered a retired show dog that a breeder was ready to "adopt" out as a pet, before I found the local rescue group. My iggy was an owner turnover - the first owner finally realized she was not home enough to give the dog the attention it needed and finally decided to do the right thing. I am very grateful for that. I have had her for almost 4 years and can't imagine my life without her.
I am sure the Obama family will do the right thing - because it is just who they are.

I admire that he would open his home to a pet in need. And we can all agree that keeping your word is a great character trait.
However, it is the general fervor surrounding these types of fluff stories that I find distasteful. For example, who cares if Obama is all about his crackberry? I think everyone should be able to send an email from their pants. It is our collective inclination to bulk up on the fluff-stuff that makes my head want to hit my desk.
I hope he gets a three legged mutt and passes out a million bumper stickers labeled "Obama's Tripod." I'd chuckle.

Yes, it does matter. With nearly 10,000 animals put to sleep in shelters across this country every day, it does matter. A lot of people are not aware of that fact. The president is the most watched person (probably in the world) right now. This one act could draw the attention that this problem needs to be fixed. I voted for Mr. Obama because I felt he was the more humane candidate. I hope he doesn't let me down.

Of course it matters. Imagine if the Obamas were cat people. OMG!
I think that if Obama had chosen to buy a puppy from a breeder, it would have given him a "face" that showed him to want only the best. From the American person's eyes, adopting says "I want the best for this animal". It also says that he doesn't care if the puppy is perfect or not. That opinion can also be reflected on his judgement of the American people.

I think it's wonderful anytime someone adopts an animal...when at all possible, ADOPT! However, when you're dealing with a child like Malia, or any family member for that matter, who has allergies, buying may be the best way to go for this family. That way they can be sure of what they're getting. My sister is VERY allergic to animals, so I bought my maltipoo, Jovi, because of the 'hypoallergenic' factor...I do agree that adopting is best, but I can't apologize for buying! Jovi is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and my family!
Submitted by Anonymous | January 22 2009 | Permalink
that's a sensible answer. Yes, we all want to adopt but, if after searching petfinder.com and shelters, if you cannot find a dog that suits your needs, a reputable breeder is fine. I even wonder about all the puppy mill dogs found in pet stores. My neighbor has a wonderful dog that they "bought" at a store.
It's like a lot of things, in the long run, if every one either adopted a dog from a shelter, or only adopted one from a reputable breeder the dog stores would close for lack of customers!
Submitted by Whitney | January 23 2009 | Permalink
I'm just happy they want a four legged critter at the White House. The First Dog coming from a shelter is a great advertisement for shelters but, in the end, it doesn't matter where a dog comes from; it matters what happens after they arrive at your home. I feel confident the Obama family will model kind, compassionate animal care. I bet every shelter in America is looking for a Labradoodle or Portuguese Water Dog right now!
Submitted by Linda | January 26 2009 | Permalink
A true mutt wouldn't work, since a member of the family has allergies to dogs. However, since they are the First Family and will travel frequently a smaller dog would be more appropriate and more convenient.

I'm glad that V.P. Biden has opted for a German Shepherd espically at a time when many dog breeds are discriminated against because of size and breed in particular by insurance companies. In the case of the Presidents choice I have been pulling for the Portuguese Water Dog simply because they are a less known breed and Labradoodles are already popular with those allergic to dogs.

A Mutt. Mutts are the best dogs in the word.
Of COURSE it matters! How can you people even THINK about suggesting a breeder when way too many animals die in shelters every DAY because they are unwanted. These dogs feel lonely and abandoned and may never, ever get out of those shelters alive. How could someone even compare the rewards of saving a life that was doomed to die alone versus the lazy practice of creating a life that is being sold for profit? Sure puppies that are bred are cute and they need a home...once they're born. So stop breeding them. It's just ridiculous to create 'superfluous' animals when there are so many being destroyed for no reason.
By adopting, the Obamas would show the country and indeed the world that compassion means more than money. I can't even believe that this is such a debate. It really comes down to people believing that one kind of dog is more important or deserves life more than another. Is that the impression that the Obamas want to make on the world? I don't think so.
Anyone who might be replying to my message, you can save your breath because I'm not likely to check back here for your opinions.

From blackpearldogs.com:
Puppy Mills 20 %
Yes, let's do stop claiming all the dogs in shelters are the fault of breeders, shall we? In fact, let's try to stop pretending that they are a) the fault of anyone other than their former owner and b) 100% adoptable. I have four dogs right now, two of them pound pooches, and have taken in any number of strays, and have fostered for the local humane bunch a couple of times. But there are dogs in those shelters that are unsalvageable, whether due to their dispositions or diseases -- and even if it's only a few of them per shelter per year, that adds up to a lot of euthanasia, because we have a LOT of shelters. Just throwing a 10,000 or a 100,000 out there cannot capture the whole story. It also doesn't capture the story of the shelters which are importing dogs from other areas or countries in order to meet demand.
Is there some reason we can't leave the president alone to pick out his own dog the way every other president has? Did anyone raise a ruckus that the Bushes weren't setting a good example because they had two purebred Scotties? Sheesh.

Comments On Feb 07, 2014:Bought the 52T rear sprocket and noticed right away that the rear wheel would not spin. After careful inspection I noticed the rivets that hold the pieces together were hitting the chain guard in a bad way. I decided to go with a Renthal aluminum 52T sprocket instead.

It's December, which is the unofficial "taking stock" month of the Internet. And one of the Internet's favorite year-end topics focuses on the best book of 2012.
There are plenty of takes to choose from, like the newsy list, the most-purchased list, the best-as-voted-by-social-media-users list, the traditional list, the contrarian publication's list. We could go on.
But now it's time to hear from you. What was the best book you read in 2012? And best, of course, is subjective. It can mean your favorite, the one you thought was crafted best, the one you thought was most thought-provoking. Or fun. Or important. It's up to you.
Got a favorite book you read in 2012? Use the comments section below to tell us what it was and why you loved it.

Your Rating
These were great for my border collie puppy; however, they don't last as long (length wise) anymore as he has gotten older and has all his permanent teeth. I got the big bag (12") Jumbo extra thick; however, they aren't as thick as the 7". Would be nice if they were consistent in thickness, since cost a lot more buying that many at that length.

Athens Video Art Festival is an International Festival of Digital Arts and New Media. It celebrates digital culture through an annual gathering that brings together a global community of artists and audiences. Athens Video Art Festival aims to encourage, stimulate and promote all aspects of digital creation by investing in local as well as international artists and communities.
Athens Video Art Festival supports contemporary artistic trends, within the frame of the urban culture out of which it originated. By using as a primary tool its diverse program, it pursues within this frame a multitude of goals.
The International Festival of Digital Arts and new media, Athens Video Art Festival 2014, seeks for young, talented people with creative inspiration to contribute with their dynamic presence in the conduct of the 10th anniversary of this festival.
10th Anniversary Edition
The International Festival of Digital Arts and New Media, Athens Video Art Festival, celebrates its ten-year long faithful presence in free expression of the arts and new technologies returning to the familiar paths of "Technopolis" of City of Athens from 2 to 5 October.
Through a series of screenings, exhibitions, performing actions, workshops, lectures and academic presentations the festival combines the industrial heritage of the old gas factory with digital arts and technology, aiming at providing cultural energy that will illuminate the city and expanding creativity to the edge.
This year's edition of Athens Video Art Festival aims to present a multifaceted undertaking a multifaceted artistic nature harmoniously linking eight categories : video art, animation, applications, installations, performances, digital image, web art, music, set up the network by associating the emergence of various sources of expression with the need for a re-"establishment" art . It discovers, unlocks and interacts on a new basis with all aspects and possibilities of lively spaces of "Technopolis" of City of Athens for coformulating an active core of social innovation.
How can one balance the distance between the edges of contemporary social and historical reality? Is this question pointless?naive? Or even hollow? A close observation of everyday life is required to identify that the EDGE is a central motif of our everyday reference.New dipoles arise constantly as people deny what they cannot comprehend. The defined limit is a result of a compromise between those two: what a team is claiming for itself and what others want to accredit. A collectivity can operate by accepting a certain degree of multiplicity.
What causes the separation – the limit – is the desire for differentiation. At first, this rapid emergence of the edges, in a wider frame of reference, is evident and multilayered: the edges coexist and collide with devastating or beneficial consequences.Just like two chemical elements, from the moment they are combined neither of them can be the same again.
This year's edition, is not based on statements. It suggests, though, different readings of the same story, based on a paradox:the vague and ambiguous but thoroughly entrenched boundaries between the different practices of new media.
Athens Video Art Festival 2014 will bring together people of different practices and through collaboration will attempt to blur their boundaries anticipating an unpredictable and subversive outcome.

The London-based Collective Teams Up with VANDEYK for this Hypnotic Short
A bicycle wheel is transformed into an homage to early op art in this mesmerizing collaboration between United Visual Artists and Stuttgart-based VANDEYK Contemporary Cycles. Inspired by the likes of Bridget Riley, the London-based collective UVA used LED strips and motion control systems to create a hypnotic vortex that momentarily threatens to suck the viewer in. Known for sitting at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, live performance, moving image and digital installation, UVA devised the film's surging soundtrack using audio effects of the bike company's latest limited-collection release, Purple Blast (a nod to the color of solar flares). The result is a crafty reference to Marcel Duchamp's early 20th-century notion of the readymade.

Supermodel Chanel Iman Hops Off the Runway and Onto the Stripper's Pole
Under the hypnotic spell of strobe lights and neon lasers, Chanel Iman seduces in a bold new short by husband-and-wife duo Dusan Reljin and Hilde Pettersen Reljin. Chanel Rising came about after a chance conversation with the part-Korean African-American model, who has graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar, Elle and i-D among others, revealed that pole dancing was her favorite new hobby. Intrigued by her admission, Norwegian photographer Dusan asked if he and his wife could film her in action and capture her personal interest in the exercise craze taking over New York. Having previously shot Iman for Italian Vogue and Victoria's Secret, the duo enlisted a special effects lighting team for the voyeuristic personal portrait. "We wanted all the colors to be very primary, saturated and strong, so that the whole thing would be very powerful," explains Dusan. "Even though she is doing something very exotic and visual, the color schemes that we used make her part of the environment." Recently appearing in Usher's new "Dive" video, Iman has just launched her backpack design for the Runway to Win collection supporting President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.

Women of Protest: Photographs from the Records of the National Woman's Party presents images that depict the tactics used by the militant wing of the suffrage movement in the United States—including picketing, petitioning, pageants, parades and demonstrations, hunger strikes and imprisonment---as well as individual portraits of organization leaders and members. The photographs document the National Woman's Party's push for ratification of the 19th Amendment as well as its later efforts for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. There are 448 digitized photographs selected from approximately 2,650 print photographs in the Records of the National Woman's Party, a collection of more than 438,000 items, housed in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. The images span from 1875 to 1938 but largely were created in the years between 1913 and 1922.
Founded in 1913 as the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage (CU), the National Woman's Party (NWP) introduced tactics and strategies to the American women's suffrage campaign that were inspired by its leaders' experiences with the militant wing of the British suffrage movement (see Historical Overview). The NWP sought to attract publicity, generate public interest, and pressure government officials to support women's suffrage in order to win passage of a federal amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing women the right to vote. Its tactics included holding open-air demonstrations; distributing pamphlets; organizing elaborate parades and pageants; circulating suffrage petitions; mounting billboards on public highways; orchestrating nationwide automobile and train tours of suffrage speakers; picketing the White House and congressional office buildings; burning watch fires; conducting hunger strikes; and facing arrest, imprisonment, and force-feedings. After suffrage was achieved, the NWP launched a campaign for the Equal Rights Amendment and dedicated itself to achieving social, political, and economic equality for women throughout the world.
Because so many of the NWP's activities were designed to attract attention to its campaigns for suffrage and equal rights, there is a rich photographic archive within the NWP records, which was used by the organization for publicity purposes. In some cases, the NWP published the images in its weekly journals–The Suffragist (November 1913- January 1921) and Equal Rights (February 1923-November 1954)–or in its annual reports, postcards, and other illustrated publications. In other instances, the NWP distributed copies of the images across the country to various local newspapers to publicize the activities of area women, to promote an upcoming lecture by a visiting speaker, or to accompany a news story about a regional suffrage or post-suffrage event. In still other cases, the NWP received file copies of images taken by independent news services featured in contemporary news accounts of NWP protests, demonstrations, and other activities in Washington and nationwide. Since these images were part of a working photo morgue, they sometimes have crop markings or other notations on the front or verso and occasionally exhibit signs of repeated handling and use.
Throughout its history, the NWP frequently requested that its members submit photographs of themselves. The party also collected portraits of 19th-century suffrage pioneers, international feminists, and women active in related reform movements or profiled in an NWP publication. Collectively, these portraits form a significant part of the overall collection. Of the 2,650 images in the NWP records, approximately 60 percent–or 1,590 images, are formal or informal portraits, representing more than 1,015 individual women. A list of portraits (PDF) identifies the number of images per woman and the container numbers where they are located in the NWP records. The digitized portraits are hyperlinked.
NWP correspondence indicates that the organization frequently alerted the media or hired its own photographers to cover events and activities with the likely intention of distributing images to news agencies. The collection often contains multiple copies of the same photograph, each affixed with an identical caption, as if "ready" to be mailed out for distribution or publication. Caption information is recorded in the bibliographic records, but the captions themselves are not included in the digital images.
Also noted in the bibliographic records are citations to published versions of the images in The Suffragist and Equal Rights, and in two books published by NWP members shortly after ratification of the 19th Amendment in August 1920: Doris Stevens, Jailed For Freedom (New York: Boni and Liveright, 1920) and Inez Haynes Irwin, The Story of the Woman's Party (New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1921).

I'll admit this video kind of got me in a mental pretzel. Like yeah on the surface fainting on your first day on the job probably isn't a great way to make a name for yourself. But read that last part again, 'make a name for yourself'*. That's just what this chick did. And while I don't have first hand experience on what it's like to be an intern at the White House I'm guessing it's a sea of Ivy Leaguers ( Cornell ever heard of it? ) with 6.5 GPA's and trust funds that mirror my gambling debt (how necessary is your pinkie finger....asking for a friend). So what do you do to differentiate yourself. What do you do so that at the end of your internship your direct superior comes up with your name when he or she thinks to themselves 'now who most deserves to be offered a minimum wage job with a glass ceiling.' Boom, faint the first day on the job. Wouldn't shock me at all if the rest of the interns in this crop start fainting left and right trying to play catch up. Savvy, veteran move from this girl.
*Did I just quote myself in the same paragraph of my own blog? Welcome to Blogception.
PS: Love the close up at the end too. Half the people around her genuinely concerned, half trying to mask laughter. There's always those two types of people in a situation like this isn't there? If someone faints, or trips or falls on ice, there's always the person who cares and the person who can't stop laughing. Not surprisingly I fall into the latter. If that makes me a bad person then so be it. I will never not laugh at someone fainting/falling. Not now, not ever.
Double PS: I think a lot of people have that 'horrific first day on the job' story but I've never really had a bad first day. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of bad days where I do my job terribly but I'm normally beyond day 1 at that point. That never stopped me from telling people it was my first day though. I remember working at Walgreens and Shopko back in high school and college and if a customer asked me a question I didn't know the answer to and didn't want to take the time to find out I would just tell them it was my first day. Literally no one ever asks a second question of someone who says it's their first day. Little trick I picked up my second year in the work force.

Police are asking the public to help find a 76-year-old man who has been missing since he took a walk after supper on Sunday night, and his wife tells FOX 9 News she is wondering where he could have gone.
MAN ON WALK GOES MISSING: http://bit.ly/15HmgjA
Olga Novakovic said she and her husband, Ray, began their walk together. They left their house at about 7 p.m. on Sunday night, and although it's common for her to turn around when she gets tired, the avid walker would often go on ahead and return on his own.
"He often said to me, 'Oh, what I would do without you?' and I said, 'Ray, what I would do without you?'" Olga Novakovic told FOX 9 News. "I said, 'I'm so thankful we have each other.'"
The two have been married for more than 50 years, and despite a gait his wife describes as more of a shuffle, her husband often trod 3-4 miles a day.
"Out there walking on a daily basis," said Washington County Sheriff William Hutton. "He'd walk in multiple different directions, multiple different paths."
That has made finding Ray Novakovic that much more difficult. An extensive search began hours after he went missing and continued into Monday. Police, firefighters and volunteers using dogs, horses and even the Minnesota State Patrol helicopter have failed to turn up any sign.
"I said, 'Okay, have a good walk,' and this happen," Olga Novakovic recalled. "Now, I think: Why didn't I go with him instead of go back?"
Ray Novakovic is described as standing 5-feet-6-inches tall and has gray hair. He was last seen wearing a maroon shirt, khaki pants and a hat. He also has diabetes and occasionally suffers from confusion.
"Add all those things together, and it's not the best," Hutton said. "So, that's why we want the public to continue to look, continue to monitor, continue to check their properties to find out if the individual may be there."
Olga Novakovic had hoped that he might found by Monday morning, thinking he may have gotten tired and disoriented sitting on a bench.
"You know, I still hope," she said. "I still feel that he is somewhere, but it's hard to me to think that he's suffering."
As time goes on, she admits she's becoming increasingly concerned.
"You know, we belong to God," she said. "God knows everything, and even if we don't see each other here, we're going to see each other there."
Someone matching Ray Novakovic's description was last seen at about 11:30 p.m. on Sunday night in northern White Bear Lake Township near Bald Eagle Lake, and official say he may also have been spotted near Centennial.
Anyone with information is urged to call 651-439-9381.
