History's Shadow: German Art and the Formulation of National Identity
Monday, April 28, 2014,
- Location: Fine Arts Gallery (Cohen Memorial Hall)
- Website: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/gallery
Location: Cohen Memorial Hall (Google map of this location Click Here)
Gallery Hours:
March 13 - April 30
11 a.m. - 4 p.m.; Monday - Friday
1-5 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday
May 1 - June 5
Noon-4 p.m.; Tuesday - Friday
1-5 p.m.: Saturday
Closed; Sunday and Monday
Presented as the first survey of German art from the Fine Arts Gallery's collections, "History's Shadow: German Art and the Formulation of National Identity" addresses the role of history in shaping German art and how that history has influenced the formulation of German identity. This exhibition will also address how we, in turn, view German art through a lens ground in our complex relationship with the German past, with World War II still coloring how many Americans and Germans alike view Germany, its culture, and its art.
While not a comprehensive survey of German art, History's Shadow spans five hundred years, with particular attention given to political and cultural events and the way these events "cast a shadow" on both the artists and the art created by them. The earliest German work in the
Fine Arts Gallery's collection is the melancholic Rhenish Pietà, a late medieval work, ca. 1450-1460. Old Master prints are well represented beginning in the fifteenth century with works by artists such as Michael Wolgemut, Albrecht Dürer's teacher, and Dürer himself. Several works by artists called the kleine Meister, or "Little Masters," a group of German artists active in the first half of the sixteenth century who produced a wide range of small scale, intricately worked prints, nearly all of which were engravings, are also featured.
Artists from the period leading up to and immediately following World War I, such as Erich Heckel, Max Klinger, Conrad Felixmüller, and Käthe Kollwitz will be included, reflecting the impact of the war on Germany and its artists. Art of the late-twentieth and early-twentyfirst centuries is represented by Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, the conceptualist Thomas Locher, and an excerpt from Christiane Baumgartner's 1 Sekunde, a meditation on time and contemporaneity.
History's Shadow: German Art and the Formulation of National Identity is organized by the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery and curated by Joseph S. Mella, director.
This exhibition has been made possible by a generous gift from Leslie Cecil and Creighton Michael, MA '76.

South Dakota Men Open Summit League 1-0, Host IUPUI and Fort Wayne in Week 2
After an inconsistent run through the non-conference portion of their schedule, the South Dakota men's basketball team appears to be hitting its stride, with wins in each of the last two non-conference games and a victory in their Summit League opener last weekend.
The success last Saturday even more remarkable when you consider head coach Joey James and many of his players were battling the flu much of last week:
With a brand new coach in place this season for the first time in 25 years, the Coyotes were looking to make an early statement in Summit League play, and Coach James' team did just that with a 59-54 win over the #2 pre-season team in the league, Denver.
The Coyotes did it thanks to strong inside play from center Trevor Gruis, who finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds, and a great defensive effort in the second half, limiting the Pioneers to just 26% shooting.
USD Coach Joey James on the Denver game:
Thursday, the Coyotes host IUPUI, the only team to lose both games last weekend, after grabbing just one Summit League win in 2013.
Despite their record, the Jaguars have talent, and center Mitch Patton did score 24 points in a game against USD last year.
Coach James on the match-up:
With the top two pre-season Summit League picks both going down on the road in week two, it's a reminder of just how competitive the conference is and how hard it is to win on the road:
Tipoff is Thursday night at 7:00pm in the DakotaDome in Vermillion.

Training Bus
I mentioned in my last post that we had taken the training bus to one of the schools and Edith asked for more information about it. A few of you may remember the earlier pictures and excitement here as the bus was being rebuilt to suit our needs but I really haven't talked much about it in the last year. Since safety training is one of my passions I thought I'd review the history of our bus.
Many years ago we borrowed this bus to teach emergency evacuations to our students. It is owned by a district in another county and always books up fast! Here it was being used at a Safety Fair that I attended. You can see a student being helped out of the roof hatch.
I love this bus because it has railings so drivers and students can actually practice going out the window and roof exits. Being able to do it myself really changed the way I conduct my thrice annual evacuation drills.
Back in 2006 I did very poorly at the regional Road-eo but one of my teammates did well and went on to the state competition. While she was there she saw a bus redesigned to simulate a rollover accident but that could also be used for regular window and roof hatch drills. I don't own a picture of their bus but you can find their pictures here. That district was much too far away to borrow the bus, so she brought back pictures and started talking about building our own. She got drivers together from across the region and we started fund raising. That generated a blog to both thank our sponsors and to update everyone on the progress.
This is what we ended up with. We do not have the safety rails or ladders that the other buses have as the local fire departments expressed an interest in being able to use the bus to train their personnel.
Here you can see the roof hatch on it's side. Right now we use the bus simply to show students what the bus will look like inside if there is a roll over and get them thinking about where they'd end up and what they would need to do to get out. It also allows us to get a dialog going with them about overall bus safety while we really have their attention.
We have mats that we can use but we're still working out how to allow the kids to use the exits without anyone getting hurt. The bus is available for use by any school district in the area.
We also use our everyday rides to teach safety to the kids and their parents. At our annual safety expo in October I do a mirror demonstration where I put the parents in the drivers seat with the kids behind them and ask them what they can see in the mirrors. They are always surprised by how little they can see inside the bus. Meanwhile I have items that a child might drop near the bus scattered around outside along with a car parked up tight to the rear bumper. We also usually have someone teaching safe crossing, we bring a wheel chair bus and chair and one of our volunteer firefighters runs a smoke bus which you see below. That's Mike (a couple of years ago) learning to sit and slide as he goes out the rear door.
I'm looking for ideas that we can use to create another hands on learning experience at our next expo in October and I'd love to hear any ideas you may have!
And if you're curious as to how the bus was cut and flipped, here is the slide show I created back then.

Wow. Thanks for sharing - and for linking to me. I'm looking forward to checking out the blog and other links. I wonder how we could use something like that...currently we have an annual competition in the elementary schools but that's about it as far as educating the students about bus safety.ReplyDelete
Have a great day.
Wow - that is the coooolest bus - the work that went into that - wow -ReplyDelete
What a great educating tool your bus is! You've all worked hard and done a great job making it all come together. Glad the bus went over so well at the Fun Fair.ReplyDelete
I could swear I've commented on at least one of your recent posts but couldn't find any evidence of it. I've been reading most of them but apparently the comments are floating somewhere in cyberspace.
Either that, or I'm getting senile. It could very well be the latter :)

For anyone who wonders if I still get letters to this day, the answer is, "Yes, Your Honor". This one arrived just yesterday. (My mom doesn't know the first thing about emails.)
While some of you might think it'd be cool to have a mom incorporating the hippest catch phrases into their salutations, the rest of you may understand why I just HAD to post this one immediately. It made me feel kind of strange. OK, VERY strange. I mean, she's just not the "duuuude" kinda guy, you know?
Anyway, I've got to go now and update my resume. Once I nail this high-paying job she wrote me about, it's lunch for everybody on me, baby!
Check it out dude-

Some nice gloves and mitts to start the new year.
A Stall & Dean "Tris Speaker" model 0945 glove sold for $761. I have seen other photos of the glove and the endorsement is stronger than the auction photos reveal. Its a rare model and seems in good shape.
A 1920's Goldsmith "Chief Meyers" catchers mitt sold for $385. Another very rare endorsed model in fine shape.
A 1940's Olympic brand "Frank Crossetti" glove sold for $260. The glove is close to near mint condition.

EGR Tube at 1A Auto
What is an EGR tube and where is it located?
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system takes a small amount of exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold and pushes it into the intake manifold to help reduce nitrous oxide emissions. Depending on placement in the engine bay, the EGR may use a tube (also referred to as a pipe, line, or hose) to properly reach between the intake and exhaust manifolds. The EGR tube acts as the main passageway of the EGR system, directing the exhaust gasses produced by the engine's combustion from the exhaust manifold through the system, eventually recirculating it back into the intake manifold and back into the combustion chambers and the air-fuel mix to be burned again.
Pumping exhaust gasses into the intake actually reduces the temperature of combustion in the cylinders. The gasses increase the specific heat capacity of the air-fuel mix, making for a lower flame temperature when it ignites. It may seem strange to think you would want the air-fuel mix to burn less hot, but it does have certain advantages. Nitrous oxides form when fuel is combusted at very high temperatures, above 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. Adding exhaust gasses to the air-fuel mix helps keep combustion below this temperature, reducing nitrous oxide emissions. Lowering the temperature also prevents the fuel from igniting too early which can lead to detonation or knocking.
How do I know if my EGR tube needs to be replaced?
The EGR tube can become clogged over time. The exhaust flowing through it can leave behind residue that builds up in the tube. The high heat of these gasses may also damage the tube, causing leaks. In either case, the result will be that the EGR system doesn't supply exhaust gasses to the engine when it's supposed to.
If the combustion in the engine reaches high enough temperatures, then it will start to produce nitrous oxides in the exhaust. This may cause you to fail an emissions inspection. Knocking, usually noticed as a pinging noise coming from the engine, can be another sign that the EGR system is not recirculating gasses properly. If there are problems with the EGR system, then the vehicle's check engine light might come on. A diagnostic scan tool will show codes between P0400 and P0408 for EGR problems. Any of the above listed symptoms may also result from the EGR valve, which draws exhaust gasses into the intake, being stuck in the closed position. So, you might want to check the EGR line for cracks or clogging to make sure it is the source of the problem, or replace the EGR valve and tube together.
Can I replace an EGR pipe myself?
Even though the functioning of the EGR system may seem complicated, replacing the EGR pipe won't be. You may need to remove various air intake parts to get at the EGR hose Then you'll need to unbolt the EGR tube from the exhaust manifold and separate it from the EGR valve, unbolting it and disconnecting the associated vacuum hoses. You can then install the new part. As mentioned above, it might be a good idea to replace the EGR valve at the same time which will necessarily increase the time and effort required to complete the job.
Need an EGR tube replacement?
If you are in need of a replacement EGR tube, then you have come to the right place! At 1A Auto, we have a large selection of aftermarket EGR tubes for many makes and models, and at great prices. Our replacement EGR tubing is just what you need to get your emissions in good working order again!

Keeping Kids Cool When the Heat Is On
Looking at a long-standing concern
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) considered what was the latest research at the time when crafting their policy statement, "Climatic Heat Stress and Exercising Children and Adolescents." One of the most important take-away messages in the report is that, "contrary to previous thinking, youth do not have less effective thermoregulatory ability, insufficient cardiovascular capacity, or lower physical exertion tolerance compared with adults during exercise in the heat when adequate hydration is maintained."
This should bring relief to concerned parents of young athletes, but it is by no means a license to push children and teens to exercise hard or long in high heat. The policy statement points out that heat-related illness in kids is the result of a number of known risk factors, including:
- lack of recovery time between workouts,
- closely scheduled same-day training sessions, often referred to as "double days,"
- wearing clothing or protective gear that results in over-heating,
- the presence of a chronic health condition in a child that reduces heat tolerance, including diabetes, obesity, juvenile hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease), cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia, and
- using medications that can affect hydration, such as those used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (dopamine-reuptake inhibitors) and asthma, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, cystitis, and insomnia (anticholinergic drugs).
If your child has a chronic health condition or is taking medication, check with your family doctor or pediatrician about how this might affect his or her ability to exercise in the heat.
Hot weather work-arounds
If you have young athletes in your house, take steps to ensure they stay safe when exercising in the heat. According to the AAP, you should:
- Ensure coaches and other adults on-site have had training for safely working with young athletes in the heat.
- Verify that trained adults are available on-site during practice and games to treat heat illness.
- Educate kids on how to gradually work up to physical activity in the heat and on the signs of heat exhaustion.
- Offer time for kids to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after exercise.
- Modify activities to accommodate each child's unique needs and reschedule practice and games to cooler times.
- Let kids rest at least two hours between workouts or matches and games in hot weather.
- Ensure your child's coach has an emergency action plan to deal with heat-related illnesses.
- Limit children's participation if they have had a recent illness.

I'm new! What camera/housing/strobe should I buy?
Posted 12 February 2003 - 11:10 PM
I'll retire this thread every few months and create a new pinned thread as new equipment comes out.
Posted 31 March 2003 - 05:07 PM
Adorama (very good prices, no customer service, not helpful when I sent e-mails, didn't let me know that an item was out of stock that I had ordered)
BHphoto (very good prices, not especially helpful by e-mail, helpful by phone with purchase and questions)
underwaterdigital (good prices, responsive by e-mail, very helpful)
www.underwatercamerapros.com (good prices, very helpful by e-mail and phone; Ryan went the extra mile to get me what I needed prior to a dive trip; he was also up front when he couldn't get me something in time, great guy)
I'll post again when I've tried out my stuff in Bonaire
Posted 01 April 2003 - 10:40 PM
I have owned two underwater cameras previously (two point-and-shoot minoltas). I do not dive, however have many thousands of hours snorkelling, and enjoy (very) amateur underwater photography (as well as collecting old bottles while snorkelling . This time I saved all my pennies for a few years, and bought an Olympus 4000 with an Olympus PT-010 housing. I can't remember the exact prices; I think the combination was around USD$800 all up, delivered (perhaps less).
I bought the camera from "www.buyright.com" and the housing from "www.underwaterdigital.com".
Buyright were cheap and fast and I'd recommend them. Prior to purchasing my camera I rang a number of the other NY based "ultra cheap" places that advertise so much on the 'net. After a number of calls I was very annoyed and totally disgusted with them all, and I'm since convinced they are mostly thieves and liars. Avoid the ultra-cheap places unless you have money to burn!
After having a few problems getting my housing I contacted Allan at Underwaterdigital. At this point I'd wasted three weeks mucking around with the NY rip-off stores and had other problems with getting the setup. Underwaterdigital came to the rescue and with only three days left before my plane was leaving for The Barrier Reef the purchase was initiated, completed and delivered to NY. Saved my holiday from near-disaster!!
This was December. Since then I've been enjoying the Australian summer and have taken perhaps a thousand pictures. In fact I've been having such a good time taking the pictures that I haven't spent any time yet working out how to 'touch them up' to make them look better (so I haven't displayed any yet).
The camera setup I've just purchased is fantastic for my purposes, it takes fantastic images and it's internal flash is quite suitable while diving in clear waters to about 10M depth, for objects within 5M range. It's optical magnification and focus are both excellent and I believe it's an excellent option for a person with a limited budget, or who only snorkels. Of course I'd now buy the Oly5050 and a PT-015... Perhaps I'll convince the wife I need to upgrade already... (about the time that pigs start flying about).
Posted 12 April 2003 - 06:03 PM
Has anyone tried the Canon Powershot series? Are they any good? .. and is an external flash absolutely necessary? If not Canon, what would you recommend in the same price / compact category?
I'll check out the Olympus 4000 / 5050 now - thanks Dave!
Posted 12 April 2003 - 07:55 PM
I'll definitely be checking out the Olypus 5050 in more detail and maybe the Canon G2/3. Ikelite housing seems to be the way forward, and a stobe, for sure. ..........
Dear Bank Manager .......
Thanks to everyone for answering my questions in advance.
Posted 14 April 2003 - 02:33 PM
Does anyone / has anyone used a similar set up? - and how are / were the results?
Grateful for any advice / past experiences...
Posted 15 April 2003 - 01:10 AM
I like the G2 better than the G3, because you see half of the zoom-optics through the viewfinder of the G3 and I find the G2 more ergonomic.
The Aquamir housing is teriffic. Unlike the orignial Canon housings, it's safe for 180 feet (10bar!) and you have buttons for really all camera functions. Compared to other housings, it's rather inexpensive (I paid ~700 US$).
Next thing I definitely need is an external strobe - any recommendations?
Posted 03 June 2003 - 09:14 AM
Posted 03 June 2003 - 12:11 PM
You get nice Consumer Cameras with affordabe hoiusings from Canon/Olympus/Sony et.al.
They may be a bit more expensive but you get a better value for your money.
I don't see any sense to spend a lot of money on a cheap camera in a cheap housing.
Posted 15 June 2003 - 06:01 AM
My goal was to find a great camera that could be made into an underwater camera that was relatively inexpensively and that would last for many years and not become technologically obsolete. I wanted a great digital camera to use above water as we only dive a few times a year.
The Canon Powershot S45 is 4mp and S50 is 5mp. Find a local camera store and work the prices down. They have room to play. Most of the canon cameras have housings made by Canon and can be bought for under $200 doing the same (bargain the price down). I got it for $175 listed on Canon's website for $240.
The downfall to the canon housings are they are only good to 100/130ft depending on which camera series you buy. For me as a recreational diver, that is fine. I will sacrafice going belolw 100ft or not photograph that dive. Although I have heard many people take it lower. My local dive shop liked it but thought there were too many buttons on the case (more chances for leakes). But hey, for the price, I will never complain! It sure beats paying $500-1500 for a custom housing!
The Canon Powershots take incredible pictures above water even in low light! It has exceeded all of my expectations and I don't know of any consumer cameras that do a better job!!
One final recommendation, get insurance! (DEPP Flood Insurance) Just in case!
Hope this helps!

I am hoping that you could maybe help a complete beginner to get started.
I am off to micronesia for a couple of weeks. I would like to take some digital photos.
I have $700.00 to spend on a set up.
Can I get anything for $700.00 that is worthwhile? If so what should I buy?
Should I just buy the slides, or video that I am sure the dive op will offer me?
I have access to Photoshop and have a god laptop with burner to take already.
Just need to find a camera, housing, (and lights?).
Thanks in advance for all advice.
Posted 05 August 2003 - 01:06 PM
Have to save a few more pennies to get an external strobe because I understand the images come out much better with a strobe. My bifocal lenses were fogging up so I was just pointing and shooting. Better luck next time. Anyway, click on the link to see the first pictures out of this setup.

I have a Canon 1D but I can't afford a good case. So I got the Oly c5050 and the PT-015 case. No Flash yet. This link point to my first time out.
I am seriously thinking about a change to the Olympus 5050.
I realise I have a lot to learn but at least I got some pictures out the first time. Need to save my pennies and get a good external flash such as Ikelite Substrobe DS-50 Package for other brand Housings (Canon, Olympus, Sony) $450.
Posted 06 August 2003 - 10:00 AM
You're right - PT-015 is the one I got.
I hope you meant that you got the PT-015 housing which is the one that matches the C-5050z. If not you need to exchange the PT-014.

Condoleezza Rice, former US secretary of state announced on Facebook Saturday that she would not be speaking at the Rutgers University commencement this year, following student protests against her appearance.
The students made accusations against her in connection with the war in Iraq.
"Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families," Rice wrote.
"Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time."
In an open letter to the president of the school, printed in the student paper The Daily Targum on April 30th, "Rutgers Student Protestors" cited "destruction" in Iraq "at the hands of the Bush administration."
"Rice signed off to give the CIA authority to conduct their torture tactics for gathering information from detainees as well," the letter continues. "These are clearly human rights issues. By inviting her to speak and awarding her an honorary degree, we are encouraging and perpetuating a world that justifies torture and debases humanity."
In 2009, a Senate intelligence report said that Rice approved waterboarding in the questioning of a suspected al Qaeda leader. Rice was National Security Adviser at the time.
In publicized minutes of the February New Brunswick Faculty Council Meeting, Robert Boikess presented and moved for adoption a Resolution in Opposition to Condoleezza Rice as Commencement Speaker.
"Everything started blowing up when faculty council released their opposition," the editor in chief of The Daily Targum Alexandra R. Meier told CNN Saturday.
In an article published Monday, Lin Lan, a staff writer for the school paper, called the 50 plus student sit in at the President's office one of the largest sit ins in Rutgers history. Police, Lan wrote, were called to the scene after a glass door was shattered.
In an article published in the school paper Friday, staff writers Lan and Lidia De Los Santos said nearly 100 students gathered at the student center during a senate meeting that day to question the university president.
President Robert Barchi posted a statement Saturday on the school website in response to Rice. "While Rutgers University stands fully behind the invitation to Dr. Rice to be our commencement speaker and receive an honorary degree, we respect her decision not to participate in the upcoming Rutgers University commencement, which she clearly articulated in her statement this morning."
Rice wrote Saturday "I am honored to have served my country. I have defended America's belief in free speech and the exchange of ideas. These values are essential to the health of our democracy. But that is not what is at issue here. As a Professor for thirty years at Stanford University and as its former Provost and Chief academic officer, I understand and embrace the purpose of the commencement ceremony and I am simply unwilling to detract from it in any way."
"We did not see this coming at all" the Meier told CNN Saturday night.
She said that the feeling

Britney Spears' Lawyers Claim Sam Lutfi Is a Drug Pusher
Sam Lutfi just got a major crack in his case against Britney Spears.
If you recall back to Spears' darker days — the head-shaving, umbrella wielding ones circa 2007 — Lutfi was, at the time, her self-proclaimed manager. Once Spears was placed under a conservatorship and cut off contact with Lutfi, he immediately began trying every which way to sue the body-hugging pants off of her and her family. He's currently filing a defamation suit against Spears and her parents, and Spears' attorneys have just launched an argument that may wreck his case.
Lutfi claims that he signed a contract making him Spears' manager. However, if you recall, he also claimed that Spears was under the influence of drugs for the majority of their time together and that he was trying to get her clean. (He even said in court documents that police dogs found methamphetamine in her home.) Which, if it's true, still won't help him.
Here's why: TMZ reports that Spears' lawyers are basically saying, "If she was so doped up, what makes you think she was competent enough to sign a contract or perform?" It appears Lutfi painted himself into a corner, and now the Spears legal team is also painting him as a drug pusher who tried to isolate BritBrit from her family.
Lutfi's lawsuit has gained traction ever since he tried to use Spears' new job as an 'X Factor' judge to prove that she's competent enough to stand trial in his suit. What's more, Lutfi's suit may also delay Spears' wedding to fiancee and manager Jason Trawick, because Lutfi argues that if she's competent enough to get hitched, she's competent enough to speak on the stand.
Here's hoping this mess gets resolved sooner rather than later. Spears has made a remarkable turnaround while Lutfi's made a jerk out of himself.

Information for Patients
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve. It is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. It usually happens when the fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises, damaging the optic nerve. Often there are no symptoms at first. Without treatment, people with glaucoma will slowly lose their peripheral, or side vision. They seem to be looking through a tunnel. Over time, straight-ahead vision may decrease until no vision remains.
A comprehensive eye exam can tell if you have glaucoma. People at risk should get eye exams at least every two years. They include
- African Americans over age 40
- People over age 60, especially Mexican Americans
- People with a family history of glaucoma
There is no cure, but glaucoma can usually be controlled. Early treatment can help protect your eyes against vision loss. Treatments usually include prescription eyedrops and/or surgery.

Not very long into the road trip, the voice from the back seat asks, "Are we there yet?" We apprentice small grain growers also want to know: "Is it grain yet?"
More than impatience prompts the question. Research suggests there are optimum times during the life of a wheat field for applying fertilizer, attacking weeds, or watching for pests. One way of looking for wheat growth milestones has been found to be fairly reliable, no matter where the wheat is planted. The key is knowing how much heat that field has experienced since the seed was planted.
|Vincent Van Gogh's Wheat Fields
|... in the hot Provence sun.
Growing Degree Days is the magic incantation. Each day gets a number, which is simply the mean temperature – halfway between the high and the low – for that day.
|From Hot ...
|... to cold.
Just to make it a challenge, the temperatures are on the Centigrade scale and the lowest temperature that you use is never below freezing, or 0 degrees C.
|Maggie's Farm -- Agoura Hills
What does this have to do with the entreaty, "So when is the wheat ready to eat?"
Over the years, growers have noticed how much heat is required to encourage wheat through each of its basic stages of growth. Sprouting (or emergence), leaf development, stem growth, flowering, seed filling, and kernel maturity all require a certain number of GDDs.
Well, maybe not a "certain" number, but an approximate guess, based on a lot of watched wheat. And those guesses may prove a bit off if the weather is different from the average, or if we get a week of chilly downpours. Or the goats get into the wheat. It's a speculation, based on estimates, opinions, averages, and hunches.
With much of our wheat now emerged from the soil up into the warm sun and well into leaf development, here's what might happen. Leaves will continue to appear through much of February.
|Our Red Fife 54 calendar days and 279 Growing Degree Days after planting
During March we'll see the boot stage start, with real stem growth. That often happens after a total of 768 GDDs. Based on previous years, Agoura Hills will reach that number on about March 26th.
April will be time for heading, the appearance of the seed heads and maybe, before month end, the flowering of those wanna-be seeds. During the month of May we are likely to see the kernels ripening, with maturity anytime from late in May to the middle of June.
Or maybe earlier. Or later. And each of our five main varieties will be on its own schedule.
So we'll wait and see. But at some point in the spring, the real timetable will make itself obvious. Kernels will reach their full size and be considered "watery ripe." They'll gradually turn from green to amber, and this is when the calendar is put away and it is all there in front of us, pressing kernels between our thumbnail and index finger …
... watching for the soft dough stage, the hard dough stage, the time when you can only leave a dent in the grain, and, finally, when your nail can no longer make an impression.
Then, it's time for harvest.
|The Harvesters by Pieter Bruegel
Local grain for local mills, providing local flour for those great local loaves. Mmmm.

William A. Rusher, a leading theorist and organizer of the modern conservative movement who helped William F. Buckley Jr. build the National Review into one of the American right's most influential journals, died Saturday at a retirement home in San Francisco. He was 87.
Rusher, who was also a syndicated columnist and author, died of causes related to old age, said Brian T. Kennedy, president of the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank where Rusher had been a research fellow since 1989.
A Wall Street lawyer who investigated communist threats for a U.S. Senate subcommittee in the McCarthy era, Rusher was regarded as a godfather of the right. "He was there at the creation of the conservative movement," Kennedy said. "He was a voice of steady ... principled conservatism."
Rusher assumed the role of National Review publisher in 1957, two years after Buckley launched it. Over the next three decades he brought discipline to its operations and helped turn it into a seminal voice of the right with a circulation of 100,000, several times greater than it was when he began. "Bill Rusher is every bit as vital to National Review as I am," Buckley wrote in the 20th anniversary issue.
Rusher lacked Buckley's flamboyance and star power but emerged as an intellectual force in his own right. His column, "The Conservative Advocate," debuted in the National Review in the early 1970s and became a must-read for like-minded politicos, outlining positions on such contentious issues as apartheid and economic policy.
He was a staunch critic of the media, which he assailed for liberal bias in a 1988 book, "The Coming Battle for the Media." He also wrote "The Making of the New Majority Party" (1975) and "The Rise of the Right" (1984). He was a popular lecturer and appeared on television debate shows.
An activist as well as ideologue, he demonstrated his organizing skills as a leader of the movement to draft U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona to be the Republican presidential candidate in 1964.
Goldwater's candidacy failed, as did Rusher's later drive to unite disparate wings of the movement behind a new third party. But he rejoiced in the 1980 election of President Reagan, whose victory cemented conservatives' place in the American political mainstream.
Rusher was born July 19, 1923, in Chicago and grew up in New York, where he attended public schools. He graduated from Princeton in 1943 and served in the Army Air Forces at its administrative center in India. After the war, he earned a law degree from Harvard and became a corporate lawyer.
In college he was a progressive Republican who supported Wendell Willkie, the GOP liberal who lost the 1940 presidential race to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Rusher's thinking grew more conservative in law school, when he became interested in the causes of domestic communism. In 1956 he accepted a position as associate counsel to the internal security subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee under Sen. Pat McCarran, a Democrat from Nevada. His work for the subcommittee attracted the attention of Buckley, who invited Rusher to take over as the National Review's publisher.
He helped develop a network of young conservatives as a founder of Young Americans for Freedom, launched in 1960 during a meeting at Buckley's Connecticut estate. A few years later, he and two of his close associates from the group, F. Clifton White and Rep. John Ashbrook (R-Ohio), organized the National Draft Goldwater Committee and galvanized support to put the Arizona senator on the ballot as the Republican nominee.
Rusher was unapologetically conservative not only in politics but in his personal style. He nearly always wore a suit and tie and was so ruffled by National Review pranksters who rearranged his meticulously ordered office that he left for his club until it could be restored to its usual form.
He was also famous for his charts illustrating the slightest change in the magazine's fortunes. As Buckley quipped in a 1969 speech about his fastidious colleague, "We have a graph that will tell you at a glance whether Lauren Bacall is more or less conservative than Humphrey Bogart."
David Frisk, whose biography of Rusher will be published this year, said the conservative leader was an optimist who took setbacks to the movement in stride. He was resigned to the election of President Obama in 2008 and unsurprised by the Republican gains last year because, Frisk said, "he knew politics runs in cycles. You're never up forever or down forever. He believed conservatism would come back."
Rusher never married and leaves no immediate survivors.

About Bingo
Bingo (Beano) was legalized in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on September 29, 1971, and on September 4, 1973, Chapter 729 of the Acts of 1973 transferred responsibility for control of the operation of Bingo from the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety to the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. Section 38 of Chapter 10 of the General Laws enabled Rules and Regulations controlling Bingo to be adopted on March 1, 1974 and amended in October 1974, July 1980, November 1991, March 1994 and October 2000. On January 1, 1978, Chapter 219 of the Acts of 1977 transferred responsibility for collection of the five percent Bingo and Raffle/Bazaar (Casino Functions) Tax from the Department of Revenue to the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. Section 39A of Chapter 10 of the General Laws enabled Rules and Regulations Controlling Certain Raffle and Bazaar Permits to be adopted earlier and amended in December 1980.
The Charitable Gaming Division of the Lottery supported the explosive growth of Bingo as the game grew from 1973 through 1984. In calendar year 2018, Gross receipts were $57.1 million; of that, $23.7 million was from Bingo; $12.5 million from Charity Game tickets; $20.8 million was from raffles and $129,000 was from Bazaars and Las Vegas nights.
In 2018, there were 111 organizations licensed to conduct Bingo in the Commonwealth.
The Charitable Gaming Division collect a 5% Bingo tax, which is distributed as follows:
- Three-fifths to the General Fund
- Two-fifths to the Lottery for the control of Bingo, subject to appropriation
- Any unappropriated balance is given to the Local Aid Fund
Bingo (Beano)
The Rules and Regulations for Bingo were updated in January 2001 to reflect changes in the Bingo law. Copies of these regulations are available through the Charitable Gaming Division at the address noted or by contacting the Charitable Gaming Division by phone at (781) 849-5555.
Changes in Legislation
On October 5, 2000, the amendments to Chapter 10, Sections 37 and 38 of the Massachusetts General Laws took effect to allow greater flexibility for charitable fundraising organizations, giving organizations the necessary tools to continue raising money to support worthy causes. This amendment provides for:
- Regular game prizes increased from $50 to $100 Bonus cards to allow greater interest in playing Special games with prizes not to exceed $500
- Retention of up to 5% of revenue from the Winner-Take-All game for organizations to cover the cost of supplies
- Four 50/50 games with prizes not to exceed $1,200
- Two progressive jackpot games to attract players — prizes up to $3,000
- Good Neighbor game with prizes not to exceed 10 percent of the announced prize for a given game
- Expansion of the pool of volunteers to assist in the conduct of Bingo
Charity Game Ticket Changes
Allow for the sale of Charity Game tickets, or break-open tickets, on the premises of Charitable Games licensees beyond the approved Bingo hours. All tickets provide a minimum gross profit to Bingo organizations of 30% of the resale value. Tickets are sold to organizations for 10% of their resale value, which is prepaid upon purchase from the Commission. Bingo organizations reported $12.5 million from the sale of Charity Game Tickets during 2018.
Senior Citizens' Recreational Bingo Changes
Allow handicapped persons to participate in running Senior Citizens' Recreational Bingo at Senior Citizens' or Golden Age Clubs for group members. Groups are required to apply for an identification number from the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission, and qualified organizations are provided certificates at no cost. During 2018, the Lotter Commission had on file 437 identification numbers issued for Senior Citizens' Recreational Bingo. Our field staff meets with licensees to discuss game formats and our financial staff works with licensees to explain the necessary reporting requirements. Both field and financial personnel are available to assist licensees and players and answer any questions they may have.
Charitable Gaming Division, Raffles/Bazaars (Casino Functions)
Organizations with a Raffle and Bazaar permit from the local city or town clerk can have an unlimited amount of raffles while the permit is valid (one year from the date of issuance). The permit also allows a maximum of three (3) Casino Nights. The definition of a Bazaar is NOT your local Church bazaar. The law defines a Bazaar as a Casino or Las Vegas Night.
The Lottery Commission acts strictly as a tax collector for Raffles and Casino nights. We don't have the authority to either deny a permit or require one to be issued. Under the law, the local licensing officials (city/town clerk and chief of police) determine whether or not your organization is eligible for the permit. If a permit is issued, the Lottery Commission is notified and will forward the appropriate tax forms.
There are two (2) sets of regulations governing Casino Nights.
- If your organization doesn't hold a Bingo license and won't be sponsoring your Casino night in a hall that holds a Bingo license, the Office of the Attorney General cites the regulations that must be followed, Regulation 940 CMR 13.00.
- If your organization holds a Bingo license or will be holding your Casino Night in a hall that holds a Bingo license, you must conform to Las Vegas Night Lottery Regulation 940 CMR 4.00. The Lottery Commission DOES NOT allow Poker or Night at the Races. Please note: Bingo licensees that allow outside groups to hold Casino nights in their hall must be sure that the Lottery regulations are followed. Failure of a group to follow these regulations puts its License to Conduct Bingo at risk.
Copies of the regulations may be obtained from the Lottery Commission.
Bingo (Beano)
The Charitable Gaming Division of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission issues Bingo licenses to organizations meeting the requirements in Chapter 10, Section 38 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The annual fee for the Bingo license is $50.00. Organizations are required to pay a 5% tax on the gross proceeds of each Bingo event.
Raffles and Casino Nights (Bazaars)
Under the law governing Raffles and Bazaars, Chapter 271, 7A of the Massachusetts General Laws, organizations wishing to hold a Raffle or Casino Night in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts must first obtain a raffle and bazaar permit from the local city/town clerk in the city/town where the drawing or casino night will be held. Any organization holding a raffle or bazaar in the Commonwealth must pay a 5% tax on the gross proceeds, which is an excise tax on wagering.
One-Day Bingo (Beano)
The Charitable Gaming Division of the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission issues one-day Bingo licenses. Qualified organizations must be non-profit and organized and operating as a non-profit for a period of two years in the Commonwealth. The fee for the Bingo license is $50.00, and all organizations are required to pay a 5% tax on the gross proceeds of the Bingo event.

Mustang Cowl Area 1964-2004
A Ford Mustang is comprised of thousands of different individual parts, with each one serving a distinct purpose. While most parts are present to enhance either safety or the car's overall performance, there are some that are designed to divide parts of the vehicle from one another. The Mustang Cowl Area not only separates the interior passenger compartment from the engine, but also serves as a drain for the rear of the hood and windshield. CJ Pony Parts has everything that a Ford Mustang owner needs to clean and preserve the Mustang cowl area on their vehicles.

Cowl AreaImagine getting into your Ford Mustang following a big rain or snowstorm and seeing the passengers' side of your car flooded with water. Your front seat passenger would not like riding with their feet in a puddle, nor would you enjoy taking the time to dry out your vehicle. Thankfully, your Mustang is equipped with a Mustang cowl area at the top of the hood to support both the windshield and dashboard. In addition to keeping excess water, road debris, or any hazardous material on the outside of the vehicle, the vent attached to your Mustang cowl area is responsible for drawing fresh air inside the car.
Because of your Mustang's constant exposure to the sun and occasional rain/snow showers, the Mustang cowl area is subject to rust buildup over time. If not properly maintained, the seal between the Mustang cowl area and the rest of the car's body can deteriorate, which can cause leaks into unwanted places. A leaky vent can damage the vehicle's electrical and air conditioning circuits. A functional Mustang cowl area permits cool air to flow into the engine, which leads to greater fuel efficiency, so constantly cleaning the grilles and vents is essential to preventing any issues with your engine.
Maintain Your Mustang Cowl Area With Help From CJ Pony Parts
Though it occupies only a small location on the hood of the car, the Mustang cowl area requires a number of different items to properly maintain. Fortunately, CJ Pony Parts offers a wide selection of panels, grilles, complete sets, and other parts to help keep your Mustang cowl area in top-shape. Looking to preserve your First or Second Generation Ford Mustang? While you may have the correct engine parts keep your old pony car running, chances are, the original cowl area has built up a great deal of rust over the years. Luckily for you, the Mustang cowl vent grilles available at CJ's are excellent reproductions of the factory model parts, and will have your Mustang spewing our cool clean air in no time!
CJ's offers a number of different direct-fit Mustang cowl repair panels for both the driver's and passenger's sides, to provide your hood and dashboard with the sturdy protection that it needs. No cowl panel is truly complete without a full-kit, which includes both retaining clips and screws. Are you interested in simply fine-tuning your current Mustang cowl panels or grilles? CJ's also sells Mustang cowl covers and premium windshield wiper blades for both the passenger's and drivers' sides.
While you're in the market for cowl area products, feel free to browse through the rest of CJ Pony Parts' fine Mustang body and sheet metal parts. Whether you're looking for new Mustang bumpers, Mustang body side mirrors, or other Mustang hardware, CJ's is the place for you!

With the Boys, Vintage Photo Contest
CommentsClose comment
69 comments
The winner. Dot.
These photos are so special. One day, our photos will be regarded in the same way. Interesting, huh?
I think we all wish we had known our grandmas when they were young.
They were Annie Hall before Ms. Keaton was Annie Hall. The inspiration must have come from somewhere and here it is!
you sound like a cool kid maddy
I wonder what school had uniforms like that in 1939. Do you know what school they attended? Beautiful.
classical photo,
it looks like a piece of paper
I agree with the anonymous commenter above. Winner. So far the best of the vintage photos sent in.
She looks fantastic! I love that she was on a city street in johdpurs at that time – how ahead of the curve she was. Her sis looks good too but the johdpur-wearing lady looks incredible. I love the spirit in her eyes…
Of course, it does say here that she was going for a ride so the johdpurs were not out of line at all – nonetheless, I love how she looks. Super cool.
This photo brought tears to my eyes. I'm not sure why. Whatever, it's pretty fantastic.
Aren't we all lucky that camera technology existed when it did to be able to capture such moments? (and who was the photographer in this one?…and how did the photo then end up in your hands Maddy? cuz it seems like a totally spontaneous shot by a random onlooker…)
What a great project this one is Sart.
so inspiring!
What beautiful and cool looking girls! I wish I had known them too! I wonder what they talked about while walking down that street on the way to horse back riding.
Wish I had the chance to know my own grandmothers at that age too….
Thanks for sharing!
Cute and clean never goes out of style. Such sweet faces!
Amazing. They look mature, so confident! Masters of style! I am also 17, but I feel like such a child compared to the women in this photo.
definitely my favorite!
the hairs! i wish i got to know my grandmother when she was my age…
Aren't they school uniforms? Regardless, the way the lady on the left is wearing it, you would never know. I love Melbourne and anyone interested in fashion must go there at least once. It's more about the way people wear the clothes and their attitude than the clothes themselves. Great photo!
This brought tears to my eyes. Beyond the image, I could relate to Maddy's words exactly and the places mentioned.
My favourite so far – and agree with a couple of the other comments: winner.
They look so spunky!
Aww. Thats so adorable. x
Hey, this is a cool blog. As a writer myself, I know it is not easy to write on such topics if you do not have passion. You are doing a very good job and I
look forward to seeing more.
I would love to exchange links with you as I am also passionate about writing on such topics.
Sartorially, I love this era. Here's further proof why. Thanks for sharing.
What feminine rebels :)
It brought tears to my eyes too and I can't properly explain it either apart from that they both seem so oblivious to their youth and beauty.
She must have been quite a character!
P.S check out my Chanel Particuliere giveaway
Great photos, so inspiring!
great style
She seemed to be like a pretty lady….I love the pants she's wearing.
This picture is somehow romantic yet sad. I really like the coat/trench of the girl on the right, and the very manly clothing of the other girl is amazing.
Great shot.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
Gran actually wasn't at school then she was already teaching 65 grade one children!
Apparently after they look took your photo, street photographers used to give you a ticket with information to view your photo and then buy it if you want. I got it after my family sorted through photos for gran's memorial booklet.
So glad you liked it,
wow! In that year, there's already a photography? I thought this photography invented in the late 40's.
I am absolutely LOVING all of these photos…. So fascinating. They are beautiful. Keep them coming!
i bet she had some great stories…
love her style.
So poignant. I definitely can connect with this.
My Grandmother would also have been around this age, in Melbourne in the late 30's. I really connect with this image, I think the combination of their amazing styles and the obvious confidence with which they both walk. I would love to buy a copy of this image! There is something very inspirational about it.
Oh gee, this brought tears to my eyes also–maybe it's the memory of my family having these same photos taken in Sydney in the early 60s–a lot later, but these businesses were still going then only to be lost in the later 60s as more people could afford their own camera. I remember my Mum always thinking twice before buying one of these photos as they must'Ve been quite expensive. I also remember her being rather put off by these gentlemen who could be a bit "in your face". Nevertheless they were looked up to in a way because having a camera was seen as modern, and at the edge of style in a way. These photographers were themselves always immaculately dressed–I wish there could be a photo or two out there of one of them! I remember as a child feeling an air of mystery and intrigue about them.
Maddie you have great heart and soul and your grandma and her sister look sooo cool and confident. They are wearing that wonderful country cross city style that was around a lot in the 30s/40s–wholesome, practical, yet stylish–the masculinity of the style comes purely from the colours used and practicality. It had a reViVal here in the late 80s early 90s. I can see Melbourne was the style city even way back then–although I do think Sydney's style has changed for the worse over the decades.
These old photos are the best in inspiration!
this is beautiful! I love these old pictures. Snapshots of lives that we didn't get to really see… there's a lot of possibility in these even though they're of the past.
Even though this photo was taken right at the start of the WW2, it speaks to me of how much women blossomed during those years and the independence they gained when the menfolk went off to Europe, which is often reflected in the clothes you see women wearing back in the 40s…
It's fantastic that you appreciate it, too. I didn't pay much attention to my family history until I was in my late 20s and I think I missed out on things with my grandparents because of that.
that is such a cool story… especially that this pic is taken of a place that is still there and frequented by her granddaughter…
i love this photo! This clearly shouts classic style!
strong person, great style, amazing photo… definitely the winner so far!!!
Thank you so much for this photo! It really has given me a massive amount of style inspiration!
La chica con la guitarra tiene "un algo" que me enamora.
Hey Maddy, your grandma was a beautiful and classy lady. Maybe by being and looking into yourself, you do know her at 17 in some way? Stephanie
These pants in India, are called jodhpuri pants and you would see the India's One of the best Fashion designer sporting these pants at most of the occasions. Looks good.
I'm loving the vintage style this season! I'm sure we could get away with that style today.
My blog covers fashion and I know this is a lame plug, but I need more followers:
Maddy, I love your photo…I've missed the deadline for the comp. but… yours reminded me that I have a similar photo of my Gran arm in arm with my Dad – he must've been about 20 at the time – they're gorgeous, dressed to impress and walking down Collins Street; must've been around the late 1940's; similar street photographer's deal; it's a real treasure to have the original print with the number and photographer's studio stamped on the back.
Linda B., Melbourne
I love your photos and your blog. Beautiful!
i love this one. i'm completely inspired. i'm going to dress like audrey tomorrow.
Ahh yes for those of us fortunate to have swanned down Swanston Street…before they made it ugly. Gorgeous pic! The girls are beautiful,
amazing amazing from me too. they look so good.
it's amazing that melbourne has barely changed since then!
wow. they are gorgeous. i can feel their spunk and sass emanating out of the photo.
Joddhies, home, late 30s = the winner!
This pic is evidence that our famous Australian cultural cringe was quite unnecessary.
maddy, your grandma was an absolute beauty!
amazing to see a pic of swanston st at that time.
I very much appreciate the comment of MSD above, how history has shaped fashion. No flapper dresses here, women's independence, hurray!
wow. your grandmother's facial features are beautiful.
What an incredible cool woman, not only beautiful, stylish but also really courageous, enlisting in the Air Force for World War II. When I look at the picture and think what little I know of her I can't help but think I would love to know more, see more of her, she must have had a lot of cool stories to tell!
Fantastic! modern elegance for their time!
these two could have easily been , coco's inspiration for menswear-inspired fashions..
Amazing!!!!!! I love this!!!!!!!!!!!! They would turn heads if they walked down the street today.
Beautiful blog and great photos!!!
I love this outfit!
This is a really special shot. . As I live in Melbourne I should try to go to Swanston Street and do some shots there … :-)
Hi Maddie, you will be able to get a copy of Audrey's WW2 Service Record from the National Archives, http://www.naa.gov.au, I think.
Will probably include a photo !

Last night Metrovino hosted the afterparty for Taste Washington, an event featuring wines from our neighbor to the north. After a full day of wine tasting most people were ready for cocktails and beer, so I wanted to come up with something appropriate for the occasion. A drink from the late 1800s called a New York Sour — a rye whiskey sour topped with a float of red wine — would have been a natural fit. It's a tasty cocktail that's becoming popular once again, likely thanks to David Wondrich's mention of it in his book Imbibe!.
However I didn't have any rye for the party. I did have genever and that turned out to make an excellent substitute. Naming it was easy too, New Amsterdam Sour alluding to both the earlier name for New York and the Dutch origin of the spirit.
1 1/2 oz Bols Genever
3/4 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
red wine
Shake the genever, lemon juice, and simple syrup with ice and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Insert straw and float approximately half an ounce of red wine on top. Using crushed ice to fill the glass is a nice touch but not strictly necessary. We used a Washington cabernet for the event but any good red would do.
I'm obviously biased but I really like this version of the drink, genever offering some nice botanicals and a more striking visual contrast than rye does. Unfortunately pounding on a Lewis bag to crush ice doesn't fit the ambiance at Metrovino so I won't be adding it to the menu, but I urge readers to give it a try.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Senate Finance Committee passed a bill on Feb. 13 that would give a tax credit equal to 20 percent of the cost of membership to a health or fitness club.
State Sen. Mike Mazzei says recipients will need to keep receipts to claim the tax credit and that the bill will not apply to country clubs. Mazzei also says he hopes the bill will reward healthy behavior.
The bill still needs to go through the entire Senate as well as the Oklahoma House of Representatives before it could go into effect Nov. 1.
"It's a positive sign, but there's still work ahead," says Amy Bantham, the government relations manager with the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) in Boston.

Bentleys, helicopter videos: extreme home selling
When viewing a house, most people try to imagine what it will feel like to live there. But it's not always easy to do when looking at an online listing, one of the increasingly popular ways prospective buyers search for homes.
So local real estate agents are making it a little easier for potential homebuyers by creating short films that take viewers on a trip around the home, instead of a virtual tour with still images.
It's one of many innovative strategies that real estate agents and brokers are using to give their property a boost in a tough market or to market high-end homes that sell for millions.
"That really starts to humanize what real estate buying is like by letting them picture themselves in the home," said Todd David Miller, whose business, Todd David Miller Homes, is affiliated with the Higgins Group; Christie's International Real Estate. "I want the buyer to identify with the lifestyle of the home. Every home has its own identity."
Video is king
One particular home selling for $2.295 million, at 456 Hillside Road in Fairfield, has become a popular Internet draw, garnering 1,000 clicks a day. The video shows a man walking through the property and taking a dip in the pool.
More InformationFor more information and a video on the property at 456 Hillside Rd. in Fairfield visit: http://bit.ly/1mBmp4j
For more information and a video on the property at 18 Platts Hill Rd. in Newtown visit:
The video also helps Miller, by providing him information on the location of every person who clicks on it.
"I'm able to strategically market to that home's specific demographics," he said.
The home has been getting a high number of clicks from the New York City area so Miller has been spending considerable marketing dollars in the city.
"The days of putting a home up on the multiple listing service and hoping for a buyer are over," he added.
Debra Chamberlain, president of the Connecticut Association of Realtors, agreed, noting that virtual tours are becoming more important in everyday real estate while cinematic movies are more often seen for high-end properties because of the higher marketing budget.
"Video has become a really important part of real estate selling," she said.
For Barbara Cleary's Realty Guild, an exclusive affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, videos come in different forms, tailored to the specific property or even a specific town.
The firm produces cinematic tours of entire towns as well as videos for high-end homes.
Bentleys, private landing strips
One film, for a property at 18 Platts Hill Road in Newtown, shows a man taking a ride on a helicopter that takes off from the property, which has the last private landing strip in Fairfield County.
Another video shows the property, which is on the market for $1.995 million, from aboard a plane.
"We're pretty pleased with it because it's different," said Brett Ciarlo, who markets the property, called Flying Ridge. "We've gotten a pretty good response."
Film isn't the only tool used to lure brokers or potential buyers, though. Giveaways are also popular ways for homeowners and agents alike to make a property stand out.
The home at 456 Hillside Rd. in Fairfield comes with a special promotion. The homeowner is offering his 2008 Bentley to the broker that seals the deal. "Then I knew I had a headline," said Miller. "My clients are luxury buyers and high-end sellers. In my mind, there are no limits when dealing with the high end. There are no strategies too big."
At Barbara Cleary's the agents hand out the company's marketing report at the New Canaan and Darien train stations, while offering coffee and water to riders.
"We've gotten some great business for it," Ciarlo said. "And it really works."
Giveaways, cold hard cash
Chamberlain, a realtor at William Raveis' Mystic office, said it's also not unusual to offer lunch and giveaways -- everything from wine baskets to gas cards -- at open houses specifically held for brokers.
Jon Angel, president of Angel Commercial, which sells only commercial properties, said agents have to do everything they can to attract buyers. "The concept of being creative, especially when there's a difficult market, makes sense," he said.
He said he has seen buyers offer cars with a home, but more often the incentive is an additional fee for a broker. "At the end of the day money is the greatest motivator for people in sales," Angel said.
One of the company's most unusual incentives was a chance to win $25,000 at a brokers' open house. All attendees had to do was roll a winning dice combination. Each participant got multiple chances to try.
"It's about awareness," Angel said. "Because it's hard to get people to come out and look at a property for no reason. It's important to draw people in to see what (the property) has to offer."

By Kathryn Kopchik
LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University is hosting the exhibition, "Remix: Selections from the International Collage Center," Oct. 14 through Dec. 4.
Located in the Main Gallery, "Remix" is organized by the Samek Art Gallery and the International Collage Center in Milton.
The International Collage Center (ICC) is a non-profit art organization dedicated to the study and appreciation of collage and its related forms, including assemblage, photomontage and mixed-media installation. The focus of the ICC is a permanent lending and research collection, accompanied by a study center and archive for academic research.
Co-curated by founder and artistic director Pavel Zoubok and director Rachael Lawe, "Remix" is a survey exhibition featuring selections from the ICC's permanent collection as well as loans from prominent artists and collectors.
"Remix" highlights the initial phase of the collection, which is being established through generous donations by leading artists, collectors and arts professionals. This exhibition at the Samek will be the first installment of a national tour of university museums and galleries over the next two years.
"The narrative of Collage is woven through the history of modern and contemporary art. It is an expansive and encyclopedic concept with its own unique lexicon of forms and values," said Zoubok.
"The ICC Collection gathers together the diverse fragments of this rich artistic tradition to create vital links between historical and contemporary practices, to 'remix' the narrative of Collage," he said.
Collage began as the process of gluing bits of paper together to make an image. It has evolved beyond a simple art technique to represent an approach, philosophy and perception of the modern world. Collage artists use found images and objects from daily life which are recast and reimagined in works of art.
Related programming
Zoubok will participate in a panel discussion with two artists — Alice Attie and Mark Wagner — from the "Remix" exhibition Friday, Oct. 28, at 5:30 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center. The panel discussion, which is free and open to the public, will be moderated by Richard Rinehart, director of the Samek Art Gallery.
Attie is a visual artist who lives and works in New York City. Her 'works on paper' include collage and ink drawings. She is also a widely published photographer. Her works are in many collections including those of the Whitney Museum and the Jewish Museum in New York City. She has a Masters of Fine Arts in poetry and a doctoral degree in comparative literature. In the disciplines of art, she is self taught. Major exhibitions include The Aldrich Museum, The Drawing Center and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Wagner is a visual artist best known for his currency collage and interdisciplinary artist books. He is a co-founder of The Booklyn Artists Alliance and publishes art and literature under the name of X-ing Books. His work is in numerous public collections including: the Museum of Modern Art, The Walker Art Center and the Library of Congress. His work has shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Getty Research Institute and The Smithsonian Institution.
Short films related to this exhibition will be shown Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Campus Theatre in Lewisburg. The short films include: "Portraits of three artists included in the 'Remix' exhibition - Joseph Cornell, May Wilson and Ray Johnson;" "Cornell 1965," edited by Lawrence Jordan, 1965; "Woo who? May Wilson," directed by Amalie R. Rothschild, 1970; and "How to Draw A Bunny," directed by John W. Walter, 2002.
The Samek Art Gallery is located on the third floor of the Elaine Langone Center, and is accessible by elevator. Admission is free. Gallery hours during the academic year are weekdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekends 1 to 5 p.m., and by appointment.
