Though they draw different audiences, museums and department stores have many parallels: Artifacts are typically displayed in sensible patterns, just like items for sale, and exhibits and shop windows are both constructed to engage viewers. This year, Bergdorf Goodman took the connection one step further, decking its iconic holiday windows in flora, fauna, and bejeweled primates in "delirious remakes of the classic dioramas seen in natural history museums," says David Hoey, senior director of visual presentation for the New York department store. He also cited the paintings of Henri Rousseau and 12th-century Chinese watercolor mountainscapes as inspiration for the larger-than-life scenes.
There are five fantastical still lifes depicted under the theme "Destination Extraordinary"—The Book Club, The Scenic Route, The Winter Garden, The Hitchhiker, and Bird's-Eye View—which range in design from a dense green jungle to a deep-blue lagoon complete with a tightrope-walker mannequin dressed in CD Greene. Nine months in the making, the displays showcase the work of specially commissioned artisans, who created hand-painted backdrops, highly embellished objects, and unique set pieces.
In addition to the street-facing windows, the department store collaborated with New York event designer David Monn to build an interior installation inspired by the architecture of the newly remodeled main floor. Each room boasts a different theme, creating the feeling that you are traveling through multiple eras. Eager to get a closer look? The holiday windows will be on display through January 2, 2017—just don't tap on the glass.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 2009 Chevy Impala Actuator Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.

This girl is insanely beautiful. I can't gel with her music at all, but no one can deny this video was visually stunning. In the Hannah Lux Davis-directed clip, Natalie La Rose plays a waitress and dreams of adventurous globe trotting.
It scares me how much Natalie resembles Aaliyah in this video. Her dancing is so on point, and Casper Smart did well with the choreo. She absolutely killed it! With 'Somebody' being a massive hit, her video budget clearly recieved a raise. I don't care for the song that much, as it's generic as hell but still catchy. I need to see her performing on all the big award shows. She could be the new era Britney if she plays her cards right!

In the diaspora
An announcement yesterday on the Linguistic Typology mailing list:
After three conferences in Bamberg [Germany] (2013), Mardin [southeastern Turkey, in Turkish Kurdistan] (2014) and Amsterdam [Netherlands] (2016), we are delighted to announce that the 4th International Conference on Kurdish Linguistics (ICKL-4) will take place at the University of Rouen (Université de Rouen) [France] on September 2-3, 2019.
Three meetings in the Kurdish diaspora, in the countries in Europe with the largest populations of displaced Kurds, plus one within Kurdistan itself.
I haven't worked on Kurdish myself, and I'm not close to its cultural milieu, but I did note that, despite the well-known antipathy (to put it gently) of the Turkish government to the Kurds, the organizers managed to pull off one ICKL within Turkey itself, in one of the 17 Kurdish-majority provinces.
Then there's Kurdistan, a region with no national status that could serve as an textbook object lesson in distinctions between ethnicity, religion, language, and nationality.
The Kurdish language. An Indo-European language, ultimately related to familiar European language families like Germanic, Romance, Celtic, Baltic, and Slavic, and to Greek, Albanian, and Armenian.
Most immediately, Kurdish belongs to the Iranian language family. From Wikipedia:
The Iranian languages are divided into the following branches:
– The Western Iranian languages subdivided into:
— Southwestern, of which Persian is the dominant member;
— Northwestern, of which [Kurdish is the dominant member].
– The Eastern Iranian languages subdivided into:
— Southeastern, of which Pashto [the language of the Pashtuns, primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan] is the dominant member;
— Northeastern, by far the smallest branch, of which Ossetian [in Ossetia, on the northern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains] is the dominant member.
Up from there to the Indo-Iranian family. From Wikipedia:
The Indo-Iranian languages, Indo-Iranic languages, or Aryan languages constitute the largest and southeasternmost extant branch of the Indo-European language family. It has more than 1.5 billion speakers, stretching from Europe (Romani), Turkey (Kurdish and Zaza–Gorani) and the Caucasus (Ossetian) eastward to Xinjiang (Sarikoli) and Assam (Assamese), and south to Sri Lanka (Sinhalese) and the Maldives (Maldivian). Furthermore, there are large communities of Indo-Iranian speakers in northwestern Europe (the United Kingdom), North America and Australia.
The two big branches of Indo-Iranian are (surprise!) Iranian (to which Kurdish belongs; see above) and Indic. From Wikipedia on the latter:
The Indo-Aryan or [my preference] Indic languages are a major language family of the Indian subcontinent. They constitute a branch of the Indo-Iranian languages, itself a branch of the Indo-European language family. In the early 21st century, [Indic] languages were spoken by more than 800 million people, primarily in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Moreover, there are large immigrant and/or expatriate [Indic] speaking communities in northwestern Europe, Western Asia, North America and Australia. There are about 219 known [Indic] languages.
The largest in terms of speakers are … Hindi-Urdu, about 329 million, Bengali (242 million), [and] Punjabi (about 100 million)
Back to the Kurds. And the Kurdish diaspora. The 2016 figures from the Kurdish Institute of Paris (reported in Wikipedia) have the following estimates for European populations in the Kurdish diaspora:
Germany 850,000; France 230,000; Netherlands 100,000; Sweden 85,000; Austria 80,000; Belgium 70,000
So the ICKL conferences have tracked the largest Kurdish communities in Europe (Germany in 2013, Netherlands in 2016, France in 2019).
The Kurdish region. Time for a map of Kurdistan:
The Kurdish region spreads over significant territory in four main countries (Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran), plus a small patch in Armenia (and some pockets in Georgia, not on this map). Turkey, Syria, and Iraq are predominantly Sunni Muslim — as are the Kurds — while Iran is predominantly Shia Muslim and most Armenians are Christian.
Meanwhile, there are strong Kurdish-Persian ethnic and linguistic affinities. Kurds and Persians are generally of Iranic ethnicity, in contrast to the predominantly Turkic peoples of Turkey and the predominantly Arab peoples of Syria and Iraq.
Linguistically, Kurdish and Persian are both Iranian languages (see above), entirely unrelated to the Turkish of Turkey (a language with disputed wider relationships, possibly including Mongolian and the Finno-Ugric family of Europe, to which Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian belong) or to the Arabic of Syria and Iraq (and a swath of countries from Morocco through the Arabian peninsula and the Horn of Africa), which is a Semitic language (a family to which Amharic, Tigrinya, Hebrew, Tigre, Aramaic, and Maltese also belong).
It's a standard textbook lesson that ethnicity, religion, language, and nationality are in principle independent of each other, and the case of the Kurdish region is a nice illustration of the way in which the four factors can be decoupled.
Personal note. This posting is, for me, unusually didactic in tone and straightforward in organization, without my customary personal reflections and digressions into unexpected topics having to do with cartoons, movies, music, gender, sexuality, language play, mistakes, plants, animals, and all that good stuff. This doesn't happen often, so maybe you should savor it for its quaintness.
Not that there isn't a personal dimension here. I have a deep sympathy for beleagured minorities, especially those striving to maintain community in the face of threats from dominant groups: among others, blacks in the US and the UK, indigenous peoples all over the place, Jews outside of Israel, Muslims many places, Christians in Muslim areas, Uighurs, the Rohingya, Shias in Sunni lands, Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, Arabs and Jews in fanatically Catholic lands, nonbelievers in evangelical Xtian communities, and, yes, the Kurds. From early childhood, when I came to appreciate that I was profoundly different from most other people and the object of grave hostility for that, but somehow had to try to fashion a decent life for myself, I appreciated the parallels between the fix I was in and the situations of these beleagured minorities.
The revelations of the Holocaust when I was a child were of course horrific on any grounds, but I saw them as a hard lesson: this is something people could, and would, do to those they viewed as different, unacceptable, irredeemably other. So I did what most German Jews did: I assimilated, hid my secret life as one of the Others, forged alliances with the powerful, learned their ways as best I could, but also searched out others of my kind. Yes, it was stressful, and ultimately it didn't last — I found common cause with other misfits, rebelled, and (having achieved a certain amount of power of my own) flaunted my unacceptable self flagrantly. If they're going to come for you anyway, why not play the game your way?
(A sad lesson from "passing" — as I do, inadvertently, in many social contexts, where I'm taken to be straight, just because that's the expected state — is that you get to hear what people say about your kind when they think it's behind your back. This could easily make a queer think that almost all straight people would happily send you to a concentration camp. It certainly makes you very cautious about trusting straight people enough to accept them as friends.
Of course, as a white man, I also get to hear a lot of terrible stuff about women and people of color. And specific ethnic groups. Just awful stuff about thieving sheep-fucking doltish Welshmen, from English folk who don't know that the American professor is a sometime scholar of Welsh and grew up just barely off the farm.)
And no, I don't expect my sympathy for beleagured minorities to be matched by their sympathy for my beleagured minority. I believe that a fair number of Kurdish men would prefer killing a gay son (or having him killed) over allowing that son to dishonor their family by being openly gay; that's utterly appalling, and I would like to have that changed. In the meantime, I expect no quid pro quo; I just know what my moral universe requires of me, and that's that I do what little I can for the fair treatment of the Kurds, even if it's just writing about them and their situation sympathetically, as here.

Baltimore County Enacts Transgender Rights Law
by Jason St. Amand
National News Editor
Baltimore County's legislative body, the County Council, passed a gender identity anti-discrimination bill, which protects transgender people from discrimination, the the Washington Blade reported.
Those who were against the bill failed to collect enough signatures in order to start a referendum process. The Blade points out that even if opposers were able to collect enough signatures "it is highly likely that 50 percent of those signatures would have turned out to be invalid anyway."
The newspaper also said that their scare tactics fell on deaf ears and citizens stood up against opposers. In a town hall meeting one individual told opposing leaders to "stop picking on vulnerable people" as they should be more concerned about "the real needs of the country."
A few of those who opposed the bill were on the left. A few "radical lesbian separatist feminists" believed the bill would only "narrow the legislation to cover only post-operative transsexual women."
The Baltimore Sun pointed out that the County Council did not take up the thorny issue of who is permitted to use which bathroom. Rather, the council members decided to leave that up to individual establishments' discretion. The bill that passed noted that it did not include in its purview "distinctly private or personal" facilities.
In February the Washington Post reported that a transgender bill was not on Gov. Martin O'Malley's (D) agenda unlike legalizing same-sex marriage. But a transgender woman's beating that made national headlines urged O'Malley to act and he said, "more must be done to protect the rights and dignity" of transgender people.
"Now we need statewide protections for the kids across Maryland who are not so lucky," Catherine Hyde of Howard County, who has an 18-year-old transgender daughter, said in her testimony to state senators.
With the passage of the Baltimore law, much of the state is now covered by such a law. The most populous of Washington's suburban counties, Montgomery County, has such a statute on the books, as does less-populated Howard County. And now, so do the state's largest city and its surrounding county.
"The degree of discrimination that transgender people suffer is exceptionally severe," said Eva Hersh, a Baltimore physician who treats transgender patients. "Many people question the right of transgender individuals to exist at all," she said.
In 2011, the House of Delegates, Maryland's lower legislature, passed a bill that would provide more protections to transgender people in the areas of housing, employment and lending but it died in the Senate.
On February 17, the Maryland House passed the Civil Marriage Act and a week later the Maryland Senate passed the same bill. On March 1, O'Malley signed the bill into law, which allows the state to recognize same-sex unions.
Last November, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) signed a similar legislation called the Transgender Equality RIghts Bill, which protects transgender people from discrimination in the state.

A Kiev Woman With The Largest Cheekbones In The World Showed Herself Before Modifications
Fashion & Style 2023
Video: A Kiev Woman With The Largest Cheekbones In The World Showed Herself Before Modifications
Video: I Have The World's Biggest Cheeks | HOOKED ON THE LOOK 2023, January
It is difficult to find a person in the world who would be completely satisfied with his appearance. Only here some live and endure themselves "ugly", while others take concrete steps to become better. Anastasia Pokreshchuk, a 31-year-old resident of Kiev, belongs to the second type, who independently increased her cheekbones by injections of fillers to the optimal size, in her opinion. Recently, the girl showed her photos on Instagram, where her face was captured even before all the changes. These photos are actively discussed by users with different points of view.
Anastasia has 254 thousand subscribers on Instagram, and therefore the girl could afford a lot. But the money from advertising Pokreshchuk is still not enough, because her expenses for "maintaining beauty" are impressive, and playing in a casino for money has been the second passion after face modification for many years.
But Nastya still feels great, because her appearance is now so close to the once unattainable ideal. Even 10 years ago, Pokreshchuk was a "gray mouse", one of millions of Ukrainian women, and now she has become a spectacular, self-confident lady who is in demand among men.
For the first time, a girl injected a spy into her face after watching a series of videos about "beauty shots" made at home. Anastasia has long wanted to improve her external data, so she did not hesitate for a long time and, having acquired everything she needed, made the first injection. The result exceeded all expectations and the first injection was followed by the second, third, and so on.
Of course, there are a lot of commentators with diametrically opposite opinions, as well as insults. But Pokreshchuk simply ignores them and does not waste time on people who do not understand her.
Once upon a time, injections of special gels under the skin of the face were done only in clinics and salons, but now many beauties modify their appearance themselves.

The tag that displays the dog's ID correctly because I use it elsewhere and it displays the right information. Am I using style correctly?
Edit: For some reason, it removes all of the slashes from my URL. So https://www.something.com/dog.jpg becomes https: www.something.com dog.jpg

A: Yes, but offcourse the image needs to exist in the current path you are in since you are using relative url's. Plus you need to set a width and a height for the . Use firebug or Chrome inspector to see if it works and polish up your HTML/CSS knowledge ;)

A:
Edit: For some reason, it removes all of the slashes from my URL. So
  https://www.something.com/dog.jpg becomes https: www.something.com dog.jpg

you can use "safe" filter to avoid this if your dogs.0.id is https://www.something.com/dog
code like this:

A: Try the following to dispaly background image in your template in style you need to use following code for inline-css.

Cosima von Bonin Takes Cute Art Seriously
Implicit throughout the artist's latest show is the tension between the feeling of failure and the struggle to be recognized and taken seriously, rather than erased.

LOS ANGELES — Cosima von Bonin's art is easy to like. The oversized stuffed animals and textile collages she has made for over two decades are, by turns, quizzical and endearing, familiar enough to be both consolations and surrogates for the viewer, but not so much that they become queasily uncanny. Likewise, her mise-en-scènes and titles are often dryly funny, as if she is inviting us to be in the joke, fittingly for an artist whose practice is founded on collaboration and sociality. At the same time, her art can come across as a series of in-jokes that leave the uninitiated out of the loop.
Von Bonin matured as an artist amid the much-mythicized 1980s and '90s Cologne art scene, where her earliest works were collaborative conceptual gestures. Though she has long since embraced the object, her practice retains a sense of decentralized social activity that mixes art-historical and insider references.
HETERO at Gaga & Reena Spaulings, her second show with House of Gaga (the first was Shit and Chanel in 2019 at the gallery's Mexico City location), may at first suggest a menagerie of set-pieces from an absurdist play that only a chosen few have seen. Yet with time, this selection of diverse objects give rise to a chorus voicing the frustrations and anxieties of those who fear being drowned out or disappeared.

The press release explains the title as an open-ended engagement with the prefix: "Hetero? Heterosexual or heterodox?" This ambiguity finds apparent resolution in the binaries that structure the show: hard/soft, black/white, masculine/feminine, manufactured/handmade.
The first work encountered upon entering is "LOVE/HATE" (2011), a jute banner printed with the two words in opposite corners, behind which a neon cigarette, "Smoke" (2008), hides. (All other works 2020.) These clear-cut binaries produce less a feeling of tension than a sense of balance, reducing the idea of "difference" — signified by "hetero-" — into neatly packaged opposites.
But the interplay of signifiers is never that simplistic in a von Bonin show; two puffy signs that read "cute" ("Cute (pink)" and "Cute (black)") unsettle this balance. The signs, which seem to be melting, are not particularly cute, but nearly everything else is — not least the title work, a large, Bambi-esque fawn standing on a mint-green trunk ("Hetero"), and a tableau named for the gallery's neighborhood ("MacArthur Park"), composed of a blue wall hanging, a pink bench for one, and a canvas bin jammed with stuffed Bugs Bunny dolls.
Accompanying these works in the main gallery are textile collages and a selection of sculptures, including two human-scale rockets ("The Loser (black and white version)"; "The Loser (green silver version)") and three soft fences made of stuffed black velvet.
The "cute" signs serve as a kind of metanarrative. We can't be sure whether von Bonin is calling her own work cute, or suggesting that others see it that way, or using the term ironically; she neither defines "cute" nor explicitly posits what form "not-cute" might take. Instead, the signs call into question the term's ramifications. It's from this dynamic that the tension missing in the binary structure arises.
In this context the prefix "hetero" indicates internal difference — for instance, not-cute things (missiles, cigarettes, social ills) that are repackaged as cute and "cute" things that are forever underestimated. Fences and rockets are designed to protect us from threats, to different degrees. Von Bonin strips both of their utility, and their potency, by making the fence flaccid and labeling the rockets "loser." In essence, she colonizes them under the sign of "cute."
The symbolic takedown of male virility by a woman who makes "cute" things may be a playful punchline, but it's merely the most obvious interpretation of the missiles and fences. Implicit throughout the show is the tension between the feeling of failure and the struggle to be recognized and taken seriously, rather than erased, something that translates into a meaningful statement on the obstacles that women, and other marginalized people, face every day.
"Thumper Bubbling (version 1)" and "Thumper Bubbling (version 2)," almost identical freestanding fabric collages displayed like screens, with their stretchers visible from behind, portray Bambi's rabbit friend as an outlined body stitched into the surface, with big, anxious eyes. Thumper shrinks from a three-fingered, white-gloved fist that could belong to Mickey Mouse as it flies like a comet through space.
In contrast, "Hetero" is a prominent presence, but one circumscribed by its cuteness. The question of why a wide-eyed cartoon fawn should be taken seriously is not necessarily rhetorical. As long as it remains unexamined it can be dismissed, along with its subject. And what is first dismissed is later marginalized, and, finally, erased.
Two other textiles, "Faust" and "I Love Rilke," hint at force and fear beneath a cartoon facade. In "Faust," von Bonin centers a red fist on a quilt made of gingham dish towels, while "I Love Rilke" depicts a grinning Daffy Duck, his body blending into the black background, flanked by two frightened little Thumpers. Whatever you make of the references to Faust, who made a pact with the Devil, and to Rilke, they serve to undercut the prevailing cuteness with allusions to German and Austrian history (and the artist's heritage), and to intimidation, be it by the Devil or Daffy. (Incidentally, the story Bambi, a Life in the Woods, 1923, was written by Felix Salten, an Austrian author and hunter.)
It's unclear whether "MacArthur Park" — whose blue backdrop reflects the lake visible through the gallery's windows — is meant to obliquely, and perhaps too blithely, refer to the neighborhood's fraught history of affluence, decline, and revitalization, or to its significance to immigrant communities who have made their home there. Either way, though, the brand-new toys, their legs sticking out of the bin every which way, reiterate the idea that what is cute — small, soft, sweet, nonthreatening — can be disregarded or, as here, disposed of.
HETERO has its weak points. Some issues — for instance, race (in the "cute" signs' pink and black colors) and sexuality (in "Ax," a white ax head with a rainbow-striped handle, plunged into the gallery wall) — receive cursory or ambivalent treatment. And the artist's works are equivocal enough to deflect interpretation as much as they invite it.
However, by identifying "cuteness" with insignificance and invisibility, von Bonin presents an ethics that at once transcends the cliquish art world and speaks to its internal biases. Whether this resonates with audiences who simply want art that is easy to like is another story. But HETERO at least offers an ethical route, and that amplifies its chorus of voices enough to know they're there.
Cosima von Bonin: HETERO continues at Gaga & Reena Spaulings (2228 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, California) through September 26.

Meet some of the team members of the fabulous King Prawn 7s rugby team!
Our fabulous King Prawns 7s rugby team are going from strength, and we thought you would like to know a little more about them, so here they introduce a few members of the team!
'The Champ' is making his third appearance for the Prawns this season after a tactical career change released him from rivals PwC UK. Buzz might look more at home running ultra marathons, but don't be deceived; his rangy running style makes him tough to put down!
The King Prawns were very pleased to announce that the self-proclaimed quickest prop in London has finally been given the stage that his sheer pace truly deserves. Marrying the technical set-piece prowess of Perry Freshwater with the out and out pace of Dan Lugar, this Kings stalwart has it all.
Tall, dark and handsome, Rory "BUCKO" Buckingham's lack of self awareness has led to intermittent showings, however after years of pleading, he finally gets his call up to the Prawns. With a fantastic work ethic and surprising speed, BUCKO is a welcome addition to the Prawn's forward contingent.
Peter 'Big Pete' Januszewski joins the ranks for Kinsale Rugby 7s, having impressed in his victorious Prawns debut last week at Farnham Rugby Club . At well over six foot, Pete is an asset at kick off and the breakdown.
Louis returns to the field after a season on the touch line. Head Nutrition analyst, Louis ensures the prawns follow a strict diet of "rugby gak" (AKA #herbalife24) and Haribo sweets. The Prawns are delighted to welcome Louis back into the fold.
To see more team profiles follow @kingprawns7s on Instagram!


In a food processor or blender combine the garlic clove, tahini, and lemon juice and process until the mixture "whitens." Add the chickpeas and process until smooth. Add water, a little at a time, to achieve desired consistency. Add the cumin, cayenne and salt and process. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer dip to a serving bowl, smooth top and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges and pita.
This recipe yields about 2 cups dip.


This band from the Vancouver BC area is a force to be reckoned with as far as extreme metal with over 6,000 likes on their Facebook page alone. That being said they really have a sound all their own with their inspirations being Born Of Osiris, Veil of Maya, After the Burial, The Human Abstract, Periphery, Whitechapel, Volumes, Tesseract, & lots more.
The title song is so full of energy and great musical prowness, this is an incredible song all on it's own, most of the reason this album got such a high rating.
The guitars and bass, drums and yes even the screaming vocals all blend together so well and are well mixed and presents this band with all the force that any metal band would be happy about.
It's been a busy second half of 2012 for GALACTIC PEGASUS. In September the band released a debut EP 'Mirages' boasting five tracks of brutal bass drops and djent groove hooks. The line-up is now six members strong, has been playing live shows, just released a music video for the 'Smashing', and writing is underway for a debut album.
We self-recorded the whole EP, and sent it for mixing and mastering at Vision Studios.

Obsessions: Frank Lloyd Wright
Posted by Louis Cheslaw on January 09, 2020
Todd Levin lives an hour away from New York City, which is just the way he wants it. Of course, there's still the co-op in midtown Manhattan, but the veteran art advisor now spends as much of his week as possible in his new Frank Lloyd Wright home, The Stuart Richardson House (1941), in the quiet suburb of Glen Ridge, New Jersey.
If there was ever a resident the conservancy, or Wright himself, could have dreamed of, it would be Levin. Not only is he restoring a number of the property's forgotten features (did someone say carport?), he's also creating a new conversation in the space between Wright's designs and his own personal treasures, including Picasso works on paper, Sam Maloof rocking chairs, and George Daniels and Philippe Dufour watches, soundtracked by the rare jazz records Levin also keeps in the home.
On a snowy Friday afternoon in December, the last day the city was working before Christmas, A Collected Man drove through the Holland Tunnel to visit Levin. Over the course of an hour, Levin walked us through the space, telling us about the discoveries that come with living inside art, the philosophy behind his routines, and the reason he's so drawn to independent watchmakers.
To begin with, could you tell us what you do for a living?
I'm an art advisor. What that means is very simple. What a curator does for a public museum—build the institutional collection by acquiring the best possible Artwork they can for the permanent collection—I do for individuals of extremely high net worth, who are building museum-quality private collections.
What was your first entry into the art world?
My mother was a collector, so I was exposed to art through her when I was very young and taken on studio, gallery and museum visits. As I grew up, it seemed natural to want to participate with my own peers who were involved in creating culture. In the late 1970s and early 80s, peer contemporary galleries were starting, though interestingly not even in Manhattan, but rather in the South Bronx with a gallery called Fashion Moda which provided a platform for exchange between established downtown/SoHo Manhattan artists, younger graffiti writers, and the emergence of Hip Hop culture. The Fashion Moda space encouraged the production of creative art, unhampered by the contemporary art market and academic art training. Soon after that, the East Village scene started. The entire East Village scene was largely made up of my own college-age peers, all in their twenties, and Warhol's influence obviously loomed large over our generation's commodification of culture. I was independently advising, doing my own thing around New York all through the 1980s.
At what point did you go to Sotheby's, and why?
In the early 1990s, my mother organized a benefit auction for The Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum, education and research complex. This was held with a guest auctioneer from Sotheby's by the name of Robert Woolley. Robert was a famous, or rather infamous personality in the art world, and was the public face of Sotheby's. He flew in the day of the auction, and first wanted to be walked through the auction exhibition, so that when he later did his auctioneering he'd be armed with information. My mother was aware that I knew the artwork as well as anybody, and so I took him around for thirty minutes, and by the end we'd built-up a very nice rapport. Robert asked, "What are you planning on doing when you complete your Doctoral studies?" and I said "I'm moving to New York City." He said, "When you move, give me a call, there'll be a position for you at Sotheby's."
"As I grew up, it seemed natural to want to participate with my own peers who were involved in creating culture."
How amazing. Did you rush straight there?
Not exactly. I moved to NYC on November 5th, 1990, and I was still doing my own independent advising, but that was right around the collapse of the art market. It was the toughest time I'd ever experienced in the art world, and in '92 or '93, I called Robert. He invited me to his office, we chatted for a bit, and then he got right up, marched me down to the HR department and said to the woman who was working there at the time, "Give him a job!"
[Laughs] Not bad!
And then he turned around and left. At the time Robert was a Senior Vice-President at the company, and people did what he said. So the HR woman looked at me and said, "Well...", and that's how I got a job at Sotheby's. Robert was a very outrageous sort of person, he came out of the womb that way I think.
Todd in his Frank Lloyd Wright home, The Stuart Richardson House (1941)
Can you tell us a little more about your travels to New York in the 1980s?
It was a very different time: there was a very cheap airline then called People's Express. I was doing my Master's studies in Rochester, New York in 1984-86, and could fly forty-five minutes down to the city for, like, $29 roundtrip. It was a budget airline, but it meant that as a student, you could still easily afford it. All the way through the 1980s, I stacked my classes so I'd finish them all on Thursday. I'd fly Thursday night or Friday morning to New York, where I'd stay up for 72 hours straight. You'd land, go to a museum, go to an opening, see friends that night, stay up all night long. Saturday, you'd still be up, hang out, go to some galleries, maybe in the evening another opening or a party, or The Palladium, The Limelight, or CBGBs and stay up all night again. And then Sunday morning you'd eat, wander around the city and at a certain point you'd have to make your way to the airport and fly home. I also cleared my Monday schedule so I could crash and use that day to recover. I was in the city for ten to twelve days a month, all through that time.
Sounds exhausting! Would you bring the latest city fashions back to campus?
It's funny you should ask. One of the gigs I did back then was to compose music for fashion shows. I wrote runway music for Yojhi Yamamoto, and Matsuda. In exchange, I didn't get cash, I got clothing. I had these amazing, very expensive designer runway clothes that I couldn't wear back at university in Michigan, but they were great for the New York club scene. A lot of what was happening in New York in the 1980s still wasn't exporting well into the middle of the country.
Fashion fans would be amazed to know those pieces, largely unworn, still exist!
They were fun. The premiere of my first orchestral composition was at Carnegie Hall in 1988. I had this amazing black Jean Paul Gaultier tuxedo with a rolled collar, wide wale pants, and a Yojhi black and white triple collared shirt. It would be fun if I still had those things around, though I certainly could not fit in them now. I wish I'd kept everything. I kept all the art I purchased from that time, but I did not keep the fashion.
"I'd fly Thursday night or Friday morning to New York, where I'd stay up for 72 hours straight."
The art's not a bad thing to keep either. Of course, we're in New Jersey today because you now live inside a work of art, Frank Lloyd Wright's Stuart Richardson House. How did it make its way on to your wishlist?
My mother was a big fan of Wright's work, and when I was young she took me on a bus tour of his early Chicago-area houses.
Is that where the plan to get a set of keys one day was hatched?
I wouldn't say it was a plan, because who at that age give any credence to the idea that you're going to own a Frank Lloyd Wright house one day? But it was certainly one of the earliest things I admired from an aesthetic standpoint. When this house became available, it was one of those moments where an opportunity drops, and you just have to decide to engage or not to engage. I'm not a terribly improvisatory person by nature, but I'm almost sixty, and I asked myself, am I going to do this now, or never? I decided to take the leap. Plus, it was easier knowing if I felt in a few years time that I had made an error, I could place the home back on the market, sell it, and the worst-case scenario was that I would lose some money. The potential downside risk felt reasonably well managed in this case.
Inside The Stuart Richardson House (1941)
Golden hour on the outside of the house
I can see you've populated each room with stunning objects and designs. What's something precious I'm not noticing?
A record. (Moves to a nook in the living room where shelves of records rest.) This is 'The New Tradition' by Jackie McLean. Probably 300 of these were originally pressed in 1956 on the Ad Lib label with fantastic cover art by Parboo Singh, and there are probably 50 still extant. This one is in mint condition, and it's a sample copy, which means there's probably less than ten in this condition left in the entire world. This took a decade of searching to find. It's a holy grail for serious jazz record collectors. It's so great. Let's put it on!
Wait, are you sure you're happy to play it?
What's the point of having these things if they're not to use? I won't buy a watch and put it in a safety deposit box. If I wouldn't wear a piece of clothing, it's not going in my closet. If I have good scotch, it gets drunk. And if I have good records, they get played (carefully).
What features are distinct about this home?
Two come to mind. First, this house is built on a rare hexagonal plan. In fact, there is no 90-degree angle in this entire house. Every angle is either 60 or 120 degrees. Then, there's the astonishing inverted truss pyramidal ceiling in the main living area, a sculptural feature that I have never seen in any other house Wright designed.
" What's the point of having these things if they're not to use? I won't buy a watch and put it in a safety deposit box. If I wouldn't wear a piece of clothing, it's not going in my closet. If I have good scotch, it gets drunk."
The low ceilings as we walked in stood out to me.
Wright was obsessed with compression and expansion. In all of his homes, he wants you to feel very compressed initially so that when you walk into the main room, and the ceiling lifts away from you, it feels much larger than it is.
The smell of the wood too. It's almost a fragrance.
That's old growth cypress. But unfortunately, carpenter bees love it too, I'm in a constant fight with them during the summer.
Funny name.
It's because they chew wood! And lay their eggs in it…

You must have East Coast Wright fans who want to come see this house, too.
Everyone seems to want to volunteer to visit. Which is very nice. I guess. Sort of…
Have your routines, your mornings and evenings, changed by being in the space?
Well, I don't have a car, which is unusual for living in a suburb. I walk everywhere. Going to the gym becomes a two and a half-mile round-trip walk.
Do the natural elements of the home inspire you to take walks?
I walk all over New York City, too. I rarely take taxis anymore, preferring the subway if walking is not sensible. In fact, I have a huge walk coming up in about ten days. On the first day of every new year, I get up at 4:30 AM and subway to the most northern point possible of Manhattan at 225th Street (Marble Hill), and then I walk the entire length of Manhattan, from the most northern point at 225th Street to the most southern point at the South Street Seaport.
Why 4:30?
So I can subway all the way up to 225th Street to begin the walk at 5:45. I do that because 7:20 is sunrise on New Year's Day. I'm standing exactly at the intersection of 155th St and St. Nicholas Avenue at that precise time, and from that intersection, I have an unobstructed view to the east, and can witness the first sunrise of the new year in NYC. I was in Paris one recent year, but I still did an equivalent walk, ending at the Jardins du Trocadéro at 8:44 facing the sun rising over the Tour Eiffel.
How did this tradition start?
20 years ago, I was looking at a map of NYC and noticed that Broadway literally runs from the very top to the very bottom of Manhattan. It seemed interesting to try and walk it, which I did, but I did so in the summer when it was too crowded and hectic. So I tried early one Christmas morning, thinking the streets would be empty and quieter, but I learned that kids get up super early on Christmas morning and that the streets still didn't feel quiet. Early on New Years' morning, however, nobody's up at 5:45 AM when I begin my walk. I love that feeling, not of being lonely, but aloneness. It's something I prize as an only child. The entire 15 mile (24 km) walk is rather meditative, and gives me time to reflect on the year that's just passed, and think about what might come in the year ahead.
I hope you also wrap up warm.
These last years have been unseasonably warm.
Todd in his living room
At this point, we enter the study. A 1986 Sam Maloof rocking chair sculpted out of fiddleback maple and ebony sits in the middle, with a Picasso drawing on the wall behind it, and the entire catalogue of McSweeney's Publishing lining the shelves.
This is an emotional space.
I appreciate it. One works hard so one can surround oneself with people and things that matter. What else is there? Yesterday, I got a note from my cousin who was working in a university library, going through old books and cleaning things out, and this seventy-year-old photograph of Frank Lloyd Wright with two acolytes was tucked into one of these books and fell out after all this time - such a sweet thing. It's a truly candid, unseen photo that I need to get framed.
Speaking of frames, I'm seeing a Joe Beef and other restaurant menus in frames hanging in the kitchen. What's the story there?
The best food city in North America is Montreal. From Au Pied du Cochon to Joe Beef and Foxy, when I go to Montreal, I always stop in for a meal.
"One works hard so one can surround oneself with people and things that matter. What else is there?"
And framing the menus?
When it's a lovely evening with friends, I'll ask to take a menu home. I also have some in my New York co-op kitchen. They remind me of places I've been, and wonderful evenings I've shared. At Joe Beef one night we were telling our waitperson how great the potatoes were cooked in duck fat with garlic, and so the chef himself wrote out the recipe for me in longhand. I thought that was so nice, so I framed it along with the menu.
"There is no 90-degree angle in this entire house. Every angle is either 60 or 120 degrees."

Beyond restaurant menus, we know you collect watches. Specifically, the independents. Why?
The story goes like this. My father died in 2011. He was a very simple man. Not simplistic, but simple. An old school, small town gentleman, who came from a very modest background, and was a travelling salesman. He lived with his second wife in their home that they rented for $400 a month in Bay City, Michigan for decades. Near the end of his life, after my stepmother had passed, I came to visit him one day, and there was a copy of Watch Time, which was like Playboy magazine, but for watches. The only thing Watch Time didn't have was the centerfold with the staple in it, which I think watch magazines should really do. You could unfold it and go, "…oooh, a third series 2499 retailed by Tiffany & Co., and it's in pink gold!…"
I'll pass that on.
I was so happy that my Dad finally had something he was interested in. He went to work in his travelling salesman suit, came home, changed into his sneakers, sat in his La-Z-Boy chair, and watched TV. Didn't have many close friends. Went to the barber once every other week, did his laundry, that was his life. He was happy with that. It was the way he was. But then suddenly one day he had this new interest, and I thought, "Isn't this great?". I bought every big coffee table watch book at the time that I could, and sent them to him as a gift, because I thought he would enjoy it. Because of his eyesight, he was reading Watch Time with a magnifying glass, but these were big books with big pictures.
How did that evolve?
I spoke to him 18 months before he died, and he said, "I'm thinking about buying a watch". It was a Citizen Campanola 114 minute repeater. He had done his homework: we're talking like a $2,000 watch, but for him, this was huge money. An astronomical purchase. I was like, "You gotta do this, you have to do this." Then I came over one day, and there it was on his wrist, and he was just so proud of this watch. He passed away not long after. About two years ago, I was going through my off-site art storage, where I had some extra boxes, and I was like, "What are those boxes?" I opened them up, and it was all those coffee table watch books I had bought for my Dad. And I opened the books up, and saw that my father had written post-it notes to himself on multiple pages: 'Love this design', 'This one's beautiful', 'Look at the technical features of this one'. It was like I was having a conversation with him. One last go-round.
And you caught the bug.
It interested me to find out why he was interested. I began doing research myself for fun and somehow, the more I studied, the more the independents attracted me. I think to a large degree because these watches are made by either a single individual or a small group of craftspeople, as opposed to a large manufacturer. I felt there was a concept manifest behind the design of those sorts of watches that were less group think.
"And I opened the books up, and saw that my father had written post-it notes to himself on multiple pages (...) It was like I was having a conversation with him. One last go-round."
How did your collecting begin?
I began with this Dufour (points at his Philippe Dufour Simplicity) because it came up first. I was already more interested in Daniels, but I had studied every variant of Dufour that was made and I knew that if I was going to get one, it would only be platinum, silver dial, with guilloché. I didn't want a dark grey dial, but you have to wait for a 37mm platinum with guillocheé to come up.
Prized possessions: Todd's George Daniels Millenium and Philippe Dufour Simplicity
Certainly one to wait for...
Well, one day I got the call from Silas, who knew that I was interested in acquiring one. I felt comfortable and ready at that point; I'd already spent a few years studying and knew what I wanted to do. Soon after that, the Daniels Millenium came up, and the reason I specifically wanted that is because it was owned by Tina Millar who established Sotheby's London Watch department and, in an inspired move, hired George Daniels as a consultant before he became the most important watchmaker of the 20th century. Tina and I were working at Sotheby's at the same time, so I would have had the opportunity to meet George had I only known!
Funny to think that...
This Daniels came directly from Tina, and along with the watch came letters from George and a little more correspondence than a Millenium would normally come with because he cared for her a great deal. Finally, this came up (points at his Daniels Anniversary on his wrist), and I suddenly was presented with the opportunity to own the only two wrist watches one can realistically afford by Daniels. It felt like a now or never moment. I was right because the next Anniversary that came up at auction with Phillips in Geneva sold for a significantly higher amount - which I would not have paid for the watch. As my grandfather used to say to me: "Shit'll do for brains if you have luck."
Todd's George Daniels Anniversary watch
How many times have you been stopped by people admiring your wrist?
Nobody knows. That's why I like the independents so much. Of course, I'd love to own a Rolex 6200 first series Explorer "Big Crown" or 6538 Submariner James Bond. I'd love to own a Patek 2499 or 1518. But the problem is when one wears watches like those it's like saying "Look at me", and my natural personality is the exact opposite. The Dufour and Daniels are stealth watches: only one person ever stopped me, one time, and it happened to be a guy who worked at Richard Mille.
"I felt there was a concept manifest behind the design of those sorts of watches that were less group think."
That must've been unexpected!
It was in line at Frieze Art Fair in New York waiting to get in, and a guy turned around and just pointed at my watch and said: "What's on your wrist?" But I like that nobody else knows. It's a private thing that I love wearing on my wrist and I like that nobody annoys me about it. I'd feel a lot less comfortable wearing almost any Patek Philippe. It doesn't matter if it's a 5970 or Nautilus, people look at it and sort of know. That's not the kind of experience I'm interested in - unlike this interview, where it's a pleasure to exchange ideas and enthusiasms in a more low key, one-on-one way…

Odometer Chip ID Requested - Turbo Dodge Forums : Turbo Dodge Forum for Turbo Mopars, Shelbys, Dodge Daytona, Dodge SRT-4, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Omni and more!
Does anybody know which EEPROM chips were used in the late '80s to early '90s digital clusters?
Those numbers don't come across me as EPROM part numbers, but I plugged them in at work here and checked my catalogs and I can't find a match for any kind of IC.
It is possible, unlikely, but possible that the IC's were one time - spiecal made for the clusters only. Which would be bad because you would never find a new example.
May I ask why you are looking for replacement ICs? I'm glad to learn that we have a few EE/CE people on here!
I am aware that the numbers that I listed are not standard part numbers. They are the propreitary Chtysler part numbers.
I am looking for id's on these chips because I would like to know the format that Chrysler stores the odometer inforation in, for these years. (Essentally for my own EE edification). In the spring, I will be doing a bit of work on my '93 Spirit. One item on the list is to install one of my digital clusters. I would rather pull the EEPROM, reflash it, than hook a pulse generator up to the speedometer input to roll it forward.
There are two power leads that got to the digital clusters. One is constant power, the other is switched (ignition) power. On the non CCD clusters, the speedometer signal is accumulated by the MPU on the cluster logic board, as opposed to the cluster's display board. When the switched power is lost, an erase/write routine is initiated and the speedometer pulse sum is written to the EEPROM. On power-up, this data is loaded into one of the cluster's MPU registers and the speedometer pulses are accumulated and summed to it. The cluster's MPU has two divide constants: one for the metric (kilometer) display, the other for the English (mile) display. By toggling between the two constants (M/KM button), the cluster's MPU knows which to divide the accumulated speedometer pulses by, before sending the data to the display driver circuitry.
By powering a digital cluster on the bench, one can pulse the speedometer input and advance the mileage, as well as drive the speedometer display. If the constant power is removed, before the switched power, the mileage increase will not be stored, and the previous mileage will be displayed upon the next power-up.
I haven't seen any of your other posts yet. Are you attempting to reverse engineer the SBEC-II in order to build one from scratch with some critical improvements? Do you have a link?
ZoskalonMPI --> I am reverse engineering the SBEC-II to get a better understanding of how it functions, as well as to dispell the "black-box" mentality that is pervasive in the auto-mod world. Mainly, I am looking to see the hardware interactions of the SBEC-II's calibration (program) code. I am going to be doing a TBI to MPFI conversion on my 2.5, 1993 Spirit. I would like to figure out how to add the coilpack code into the calibration file and eliminate the spark jump in the distributor. The wiring aspect is not an issue: I have already added power locks, power windows, Bendix-6 ABS (with 4-wheel disk conversion), the premium overhead cluster, traveller, power seats, auto climate control, and a few other amenities. The electronic cluster, EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information Center) and 22-function EVA (Electronic Voice Alert), as well as new paint, will be comming this spring.
Where is all this work shown??? I would love to see everything you've done to this car! I don't recall ever seeing EVIC on a Spirit before, only the 2 button travelers. What do you mean by "premium overhead cluster", is it just the temp/compass console? What year ATC did you use? Info and pics PLEASE! Lol.
If you do come across a datasheet or even functional schematic of the whole digital dash post it up, it might help to revive the dying breed.
I have yet to dig into my two digital clusters for my daytona, they work but have some funny speedo bugs under vibration I have to work out.
The numbers that I listed in my previous post are the numbers that are stamped on the chip. Chrysler, as well as other manufacturers, had their ICs custom marked. An example is the chip marked SC80575VFN 4632459 which is a Motorola 68HC11A1 used in the SBEC-II. SC80575VFN is the motorola reference part number for the chip with the custom Chrysler ROM mask and 4632459 is the Chrysler part number. Another example is the Interstil SD68HC68S1 which has the Chrysler part number 4374040. It is used to decode the CCD databus for the chrysler traveler modules. This is usually for preprogramed MPUs, but also applies to other chips that were replaceable, or serviced by Chrysler and/or its authorized service providers. Chrysler has part numbers for the odometer EEPROMs because they could be replaced or reflashed when a cluster was replaced. This was before the time when the odometer info was stored in the BCM or ECU.
ZoskalonMPI --> As for pictures, I have not taken any, yet. I am still in the process of reupstering the interrior and prepping for paint this spring. The AA bodies never came with an EVA, EVIC, nor auto climate control. The overhead cluster is the one with the compass and temperature. There are provisions on the board for two more buttons and some unoccupied pads for additional electronics. I have yet to figure this out. The overhead clusters with the tripodometer pulled their data off of the ccd bus, and was supplied by the BCM. I added the two button traveler, but would like to add the twelve button traveler, once I figure-out the injector pulse feed, and finish the dashboard transplant. As for the climate control, I believe that it was from an '89 New Yorker. I replaced the sixteen-year-old heater core (Christmas eve 2009) and figured that since the dash was out, I might as well add this.
Why all this work? I bought my 1993 Spirit, in 1999, when I was stationed in Texas. It's body is solid and in great shape. It has only seen a few Michigan winters. I am getting c. 32 MPG, average. It is very reliable. And last, but not least: I am an engineer, so why not?
For anybody that is looking at doing some of these "upgrades", do not be intimidated by the wiring. Check with your local library for the Mitchell's Manuals. Their wiring diagrams are superior to AllData. Remember to get the connectors. Solder and heat shrink the splices: DO NOT USE CRIMP CONNECTORS! Take your time. Be patient. Ask questions. Have fun.
I for got to add that I am sure that there is a standard EPROM that is compatable with the Chry P/Ns. If all else fails, I can trace the EEPROM datalines and construct the pin out, and use trial-and-error to acheive a coherent ROM dump.
I have a 1985 Laser XE cluster on my benchtop right now with the ODO chip signals on the logic analyzer. You have to be careful as there are two negative power supplies to the chip. There is a -5 which probably would not kill my test equipment, but the apparent programming voltage(always present) is -30V!
I started by probing each pin with a volt meter to try and determine the power supplies. There were several pins that are always low, so I'm not sure which of those are the actual ground power pin. One pin seemed to be steady +5 V, so I'm assuming that's the main Vdd. The negative programming voltage is curious, most EEPROMs I've seen use +27V or so for programming. -5 V is not unusual for older chips. Perhaps this is an NMOS device and not full CMOS?
I could only identify five signals that actually toggled during the apparent read cycles(On power up) or write cycles (On 12V ign powerdown with 12V batt still powered). This suggests that the device is in some manner serial instead of parallel which will make decoding a bear.
With the apparent writes, the signaling made some sense with one of the signals appearing to be a clock or strobe of some sort. The period was 80uS which looks right, but I haven't figured out which signal(s) are data, chip select, rd/wr yet. Also, there seem to be a very large number of repeated bursts for the shutdown sequence compared to the startup read sequence which looks like one single burst after some sort of setup sequence.
Here is a link to a website that has some source code for our ECU's. Be a good starting point. At least with the code you can figure out your input/output, and which one's are analog.
I don't know of a good decompiler for the CPU. Depending on the CPU you can use ASMFLOW to flow chart it.
If any of you figure out how to get these chips to work let me know please. I need one done for a 1986 Chrysler Executive Limo (Stretched Lebaron) at some point. I have the current ------- thing of death on mr digital dash.

Gary Walker
Hopefully everyone has the same mindset. Hopefully we can get this thing turned around. We're in the fourth year of this franchise, and we've got the best team we've had since we started. So I tell you, I feel good about our team and our season. And I feel good about playing this week and going up to Buffalo.
Facing Dallas, it's bigger than your biggest rival ever in college or high school. It's a real rivalry and we haven't even played in a regular-season game yet, so it's something just growing on its own.
He's our best athlete on defense.
I talk to him all the time, ... I just tell him, 'That's what you came here for. You're a first-round pick. You're going to be fine.'
There's something special about beating Pittsburgh.

Blue Reef Pools has made sure that we give the right answer, focusing on reliable service! Give us a call (561) 602-2010 for a free quote!


The first time I made a batch of smoked venison pepperoni my hunting buddies were so impressed that I decided to make the recipe a permanent part of my venison sausage making arsenal.
Pepperoni comes in many varieties and sizes, but I find that this smoked version seems to be at its best (for my tastes, at least) when I stuff it into 1 1/4 inch collagen casings.
Most of the red color in commercial pepperoni is produced by paprika, so that is what I use to give mine a familiar look.
The heat is generated by a combination of red and black pepper.
Cut the venison and pork into cubes, then grind it through the medium plate of your sausage grinder.
Make a paste of the milk powder and ice water and mix it with the cure and all the spices in a small container.
Add the cure/dried milk/spice combination to the ground meat and mix it thoroughly, kneading it by hand until it is very well distributed.
Stuff the sausage immediately into casings (either collagen or natural sheep or pork), and refrigerate the links for 12-24 hours to let the flavors combine well.
After the aging, prepare your deer sausage pepperoni for the smoker, and smoke it until the internal temperature reaches 152 degrees F.
