Make & Take: Architectural Artistry
Published October 17, 2018	Artist Encounters , Arts District , Creativity , Just for Fun , Make & Take Closed
Tags: architecture, art making, Dallas Museum of Art, DMA
We have a new way to get creative at the DMA! Make & Take is a new art-making series that takes place on one Thursday every month. Drop by on October 25 and stay for as long as you want, whether it's a few minutes or an hour, and you'll leave with a new skill plus your own creation. Our first Make & Take was on Thursday, September 27. As the weather cooled down, participants enjoyed their time outside on our Sculpture Terrace near the Conservation Gallery, overlooking part of the downtown skyline. Local artist and architecture teacher Jay Cantrell led participants in exercises that helped give shape to the cluster of buildings in front of them. One exercise involved outlining the skyline that showed the different structures using only one line. Another was focusing on architectural details of the buildings, like windows and arches, so you don't get overwhelmed by tackling the entire building. You can see a few examples below.

If you didn't get a chance to come out and sketch with us, don't worry! Make & Take will happen once a month (except December) and explore a new art technique every time. On the 25th, we'll be working with vibrant pastels to make abstract images inspired by the pastels on view in Günther Förg: A Fragile Beauty. On November 29, explore monotype printmaking, where you'll make subtractive images in ink and then print using a press, like the monotypes featured in Ida O'Keeffe: Escaping Georgia's Shadow.

New on the Bookshelves
Published January 10, 2013	Art & Teaching Closed
Tags: architecture, books, Chuck Close, gallery activities, picture books, reading
This week's rainy weather is the "perfect storm" to send me to my sofa snuggled up with a stack of good books. I'm a self-proclaimed bookworm, and have blogged before {here and here} about how learning to read is similar to learning to look at art. Both involve making meaning through understanding context as well as visual cues, and the desire to communicate ideas. For many young children, picture books are their first introduction to art and illustration, and thus one of my favorite teaching tools. Here is my latest round-up of books to tuck in your bag on your next visit to the Museum. Or, simply enjoy them at home!
Green by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Green is exactly what the title proclaims it to be—a beautiful, engaging concept book about the color green. Each two-page spread features a different type of green with a clever cut-out that reveals a peek into the next page. There's "lime green," "forest green," "jungle green," and "glow green," to name a few. I used this book with preschoolers to talk about how there's not just one green, but many, and the illustrations and simple text offered a concrete way for the kids to think of how to describe different shades of a single color by connecting to real-world objects.
Gallery connection: Read Green in the American painting and sculpture galleries on Level 4 and go on a scavenger hunt to see how many different types of green you can discover in the art.
Dreaming Up: A Celebration of Building by Christy Hale
For every young block-loving builder out there, this book is a dream come true! Illustrations of busy children building structures out of blocks, constructing houses out of playing cards, and finagling a fort out of blankets and pillows are paired with photographs of actual buildings that closely resemble the children's creations. Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum, Tokyo's Yoyogi National Stadium, and Frank Gehry's Bilbao Guggenheim are just a few of the architectural marvels highlighted. Concrete poems for each structure mimic the shapes of the buildings and show-off the beauty language can create.
Gallery connection: Bring Dreaming Up and a sketch pad along for a visit to the Formed/Unformed exhibit. Read the book, look at the wonderful variety of chairs on display, and then draw your own design for a new chair!
Mice by Rose Fyleman, illustrated by Lois Ehlert
Two sneaky mice are out in the night getting into all kinds of things! But these "mice are nice," and their adventures nibbling on treats, climbing into things, and even making art are sure to delight. Ehlert's signature collage illustration style is built around the use of several simple shapes—triangles, circles, and rectangles and begs to be imitated by young artists.
Gallery connection: Use Mice as your artistic inspiration and make your own collage characters at the art-making space in the Center for Creative Connections. We provide the paper, tape, and pencils—you provide the imagination!
Chuck Close: Face Book by Chuck Close
What if you could sit down one afternoon with artist Chuck Close and just ask him anything you wanted to? That scenario actually happened for a group of fifth graders in Brooklyn. Armed with questions like "What made you start to draw?" and "Why are your paintings so big?," these children helped start the conversation that became the basis for this autobiography. A flip-book feature allows readers to mix and match foreheads, eyes/nose, and chins from several of Close's own self-portraits and offers an up-close look at the small squares that compose each work of art—squares of paint, fingerprints, and leftover bits of paper.
Gallery connection: The DMA's piece by Chuck Close isn't currently on view, but you can discover another artist's fingerprints hiding in the art by exploring the installations by Karla Black. Or, spend some time in our European galleries sketching the faces you find in the portraits on display.
Gustav Stickley and Frank Lloyd Wright in Dallas
Published April 26, 2011	Museum Insight Closed
Tags: architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley, Kalita Humphreys Theater, Preservation Dallas
Last Monday, our theme for docent training was "a morning of architecture in Dallas." I invited Katherine Seale, director of Preservation Dallas, to speak with the docents about the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement in Dallas.
As director of Preservation Dallas, Katherine has firsthand knowledge of all the historic homes in Dallas. The Arts and Crafts movement hit Dallas later than on the East and West coasts, but there are many excellent examples of Stickley-esque Craftsman homes in East Dallas.
Katherine spoke about Swiss Avenue and the Munger Place neighborhood, both of which I was familiar with already. To me, the most fascinating part of Katherine's presentation was about a neighborhood in Oak Cliff called Winnetka Heights. Winnetka Heights is, according to Katherine, the most Arts and Crafts neighborhood in Dallas. Craftsman bungalows–one-story homes made of wood with low-pitched roofs and exposed joinings– line the streets of this neighborhood. I'm already planning a weekend outing to view these homes.
Following Katherine's presentation, architect Ann Abernathy spoke about Frank Lloyd Wright in Dallas. Yes, the DMA currently has an exhibition of his prints: Line and Form: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Wasmuth Portfolio. But did you know that Wright was the architect for the Kalita Humphreys Theater?
Frank Lloyd Wright's Kalita Humphreys Theater
Ann is the perfect person to speak about Frank Lloyd Wright, because she was the project lead for the renovation of Wright's Oak Park home and studio. She has also been named the project lead for the renovation of the Kalita Humphreys Theater. This gives her the unique distinction of having worked on projects that were created at the beginning and end of Wright's career.
The plan for the Kalita Humphreys Theater came from a 1914 theater plan that was designed by Wright but never built. When he was asked to design a building for the Dallas Theater Center, Wright agreed, but only if he could use his 1914 plan. What many people may not know is that the Kalita is one of the last buildings constructed by Wright–he began work on it in 1955 when he was eighty-eight years old, and it was completed after his death in 1959.
As anyone who has visited the Kalita Humphreys Theater knows, it is situated on a hillside over Turtle Creek. The building is constructed from reinforced concrete, and is considered to have wonderful acoustics. This comes from Wright's own interest in the science and theory of acoustics. The theater also features a revolving stage. My favorite element of the theater is how the audience wraps around the stage. Every performance at the theater feels like an intimate gathering.
Katherine and Ann's presentations have opened my eyes to a new way of looking at buildings in Dallas. I encourage you to spend Mother's Day weekend at the DMA to learn more about Wright and Stickley. Examine the drawings in Line and Form: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Wasmuth Portfolio and spend time marvelling at the beauty of Craftsman designs during the closing weekend of Gustav Stickley and the American Arts and Crafts Movement.

Ordinary to Extraordinary: A Short Story about Chairs
Published March 15, 2011	Community Connection , Creativity , People Closed

"Success in your career begins in an ordinary classroom, in an ordinary chair."
— Diana Maldonado, grade 11, Skyline High School (DISD)
Standard-issue classroom chairs
It is a good thing to see the world from a different point of view every now and then. We can stand and walk in someone else's shoes, but what is it like to sit in someone else's chair? What if the seat of this chair rises only fourteen inches above the ground? I recently had the opportunity to take a seat in these small-size chairs while visiting pre-K and kindergarten classrooms at Dealey Montessori, Medrano Elementary, and Urban Park Elementary in DISD. Two 11th grade students from Skyline High School, Yvonne and Lauren, joined me during the visits to interview several young students who sit in fourteen-inch chairs every day at school.
For me, sitting in one of these chairs is a little bit magical. The world is scaled down and tiny – chalkboards hang at a lower level, tables are shorter, and objects on the lowest bookshelf (which seem to require a further reach) are more colorful and interesting. The chair-sitting experience may also be magical for the students who sit in these small chairs every day as they get used to going to school, learn to write, and make new friends. Chairs are an important part of the school day. They are a place to sit and rest, but also a place to participate in important and creative work. Students shared with Lauren, Yvonne, and me various examples of the work they do in their chairs:
learning to read books
making a lion mask
practicing writing letters and words
drawing butterflies, ice cream cones, and hearts
singing with friends
counting numbers
Our visits to schools are part of a larger partnership project between the Dallas Museum of Art and the Architecture Cluster at Skyline High School. Lauren and Yvonne are just two among more than eighty Skyline Architecture Cluster students who created an amazing installation now on view in the Center for Creative Connections. The installation, Sculpting Space: 299 Chairs, features fourteen-inch, standard-issue classroom chairs in all colors as the primary material. The Skyline students have transformed ordinary chairs into extraordinary chair assemblages that sculpt the space of one gallery. Museum visitors move through the space, walking under and around clusters of chairs. Look for more information in the coming weeks about Skyline's unique installation on the blog Uncrated.
Google Sketch-Up model for a chair assemblage that reflects the spatial concept, "fluent"
Early in the partnership project, Skyline students and their teachers, Peter Goldstein and Tom Cox, had the brilliant idea to get "used" chairs from three DISD elementary schools. They were interested in chairs with stories to tell — marked-up with years of scratches and crayon scribbles. The DMA purchased hundreds of new chairs, and then Skyline students swapped the new chairs for old chairs at Dealey, Medrano, and Urban Park. As part of the process, the elementary school students were invited to draw their chairs, write about them, and think about all of the many things they do while seated in the classroom. Video interviews with pre-K and kindergarten students about their chairs are included with the DMA installation. Special thanks to the teachers, students, and staff at Dealey Montessori, Medrano Elementary, and Urban Park in DISD for being a part of this wonderful partnership!
"The one true connection we have made was with the chairs and when we were little kids. They bring back memories of our childhood. We also have a connection to the students who once sat in these chairs where they did their work, and colored and painted."
Luis Garcia, grade 10, Skyline High School (DISD)

In a large bowl combine the shredded beets, apples, salt, and whey. Massage salt into kraut ingredients for 2-3 minutes to release juice.
Add kraut and ginger coins to glass jar and pack down tightly, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Continue adding and packing kraut until, leaving 1/2" of headspace at the top of the jar. Be sure that the brine liquid covers the kraut. If the kraut floats to the top, weigh it down with a shot glass.
Cover jar with cheesecloth or thin dish towel and secure with a rubber band. Allow to ferment at room temperature for 3-5 days. After ferment is complete, seal and store in fridge for up to one month.
A note about mold: If the jar is packed down and brine is covering the ferment, the only place mold will appear is on top. Simply scoop it off and discard. Mold needs oxygen to grow (which is why packing down and covering with brine is so crucial).

Top 3 airlines serving Iowa to Bangor
In Salt Lake City the directions from the gate to the outside bus area to take passengers to the outside gate was unclear. There was no one in view from the entry of the ramp to the end of it. I tripped over the metal bumper and fell on my knees, causing cuts and bruises. Although my luggage falling made a loud noise, there was no response from anyone. I had placed a request for a wheelchair beforehand, also with no response from Delta.
Last minute change to our terminal and gate made our well-planned departure hectic and less enjoyable experience. Luckily we were at the airport 2 hours before the scheduled flight. We were moved from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 right when we arrived at the gate. Although Delta had a shuttle that allowed us to move terminals without going through security a second time, the shuttle dropped us off at the bevy of the terminal. We had to walk over 3 miles to get to the very last gate, and the moving escalators were out-of-order. It also did not have any bathrooms or fast food, even just hot coffee, nearby. After reaching our gate, my son who has asthma was sweaty and had to use his inhaler again.
No complaints!!
Cons: "Snacks, and drinks"
Pros: "Crew was wonderful"
Cons: "This COVID to be over"
Pros: "The accommodation to the military service members!"
Cons: "Air fresheners should be used on the airplane."
Pros: "Everything was amazing"
Cons: "Nothing really."
Cons: "Despite the fact that I fell skiing and broke my elbow, requiring surgery, for which I sent a copy of the medical procedures, Aeromexico was the ONLY part of my trip, other flights and hotels, that refused to offer me a change of date option. Terrible customer service."
Pros: "Crew was super amazing and friendly! Very good service also!"
Cons: "No seat back entertainment.."
Pros: "Crew could have been more helpful, had a 30 min layover and the gate was very far away. They could have told us directions"
Pros: "The crew on both legs of our trip were nice and accommodating."
Pros: "Average flight. Crew was polite."
Cons: "On time performance. Barely made my connecton, because of flight delay. Seems like only 1 in 5 flights are on time according to flightaware.com."
Pros: "Crew"
Cons: "Last row doesn't recline"
Cons: "Better accommodation for handicap passengers."
Cons: "We sat for an hour on the tarmac with the plane at about 80-85 degrees and everyone sweating. Once we took off the flight attendants kept turning the cabin lights on and off and serving dinner (on an overnight flight is that really necessary?!) and waking us up. Also plane was old and uncomfortable."
Pros: "All the movie choices. Wish TVs came in all aircraft and/or flights 2+ hours. :-)"
Pros: "Short and easy"
Pros: "seating placement was perfect..."
Pros: "Love delta's Customer service!"
Cons: "Was wearing shorts and flip flops and the A/C was on full blast which is at the bottom on the side so my feet and legs were freezing the entire flight!"
Pros: "The service was excellent."
Pros: "Super friendly flight crew."
Cons: "Small seater aircraft was cramped"
Pros: "Please see above. Sherry was amazing"
Cons: "Plane was small and older but it was a short flight"
Pros: "I like the snacks they are not giving out on the flights. It seems that Delta is trying to make the flying experience nicer instead of more tedious and uncomfortable like many other airlines, which is appreciated."
Cons: "The flights were both operated by Delta but booked through WestJet, and the flights themselves were fine. The booking was through WestJet (found the flight on kayak which kicked me over to West Jet's site) and check in was a pain. Their code did not work for their site or Delta's, I had to FB message them both leaving and returning to ask for the correct one, and the first request took them hours to answer. I'll just book Delta next time and save myself the trouble."
Pros: "In some Delta flights that I had in the past the plane was just ok, not bad, not good. But this plane ATL-MEX was great, very nice and conformable plane, it looks and feels excellent!"
Cons: "Step stairs, no help getting up or down. You should use a Laeger plane and a jet bridge. It was awful down and up and down stairs, then walking across the tarmac, not sanded,NOT SHOVELED. Have you gone mad?"
Pros: "Quiet, friendly, fast and efficient. What you'd want for a flight at 6am"
Pros: "Quick flight!"
Cons: "Didn't realize the last seat on the plane doesn't mean back."
Pros: "Staff lovely"
Cons: "Flight delayed so we got bumped to a later connecting flight An eight hour trip became a 12 hour trip"
Pros: "The professionalism of Delta employees, timeliness of flt."
Pros: "It all went very well. Arrived 20 minutes ahead of time. Wifi movies were great. Stewardesses were very efficient."
Pros: "All that one would want."
Pros: "Service and staff."
Cons: "No entertainment system on a very new A320. Gate G14 and G15 in Minniapolis is always vey contested"
Pros: "The crew was fantastic. I generally love flying Delta and find their crew to always be very professional and kind."
Cons: "As this was a smaller, regional jet, there weren't a lot of amenities. But that's fine, it's only a 40-minute flight!"
Pros: "Made friends on the way to Maine!"
Pros: "Staff were awesome. Give them a raise."
Pros: "None"
Pros: "Get a day in NYC"
Cons: "Two daytime flights booked so can't get to Bangor until the 9:00 pm flight tonight. Aitline only coveted one night at the hotel. Had to buy a second night so we don't have to carry our bags around all day."
Pros: "Brand new plane"
Pros: "Smooth flight and always a plus to see a beautiful smile throughout the trip from our Flight Attendant Stefany!"
Pros: "I got home. That's the highlight. We didn't have any incidents."
Cons: "Took off late because the bus to transport flight attendants were late. Backed up once into New York. Had to circle several times. Once landed we waited in a queue behind 10 aircraft."
Pros: "First time flying Delta. And let's just aay, now I know why it's so cheap. You get what you pay for."
Cons: "Was never able to get on flight. The plane lost a windshield wiper and didn't have any spare parts."
Pros: "Crew remained positive and apologetic for the long delay."
Cons: "Lack of notice that there was no Pilot, maybe let people know so we can be less stressed about leaving as well as arriving on time when others depend on you to."
Pros: "On time Clean airplane Smooth ride Friendly staff"
Cons: "I'm not sure if this staff is exhausted or just over there job, but they cow towed to a woman who made major complaints about the air conditioning and even gave her points to help her deal with the temperature. Strange. They were only gold stays and I'm only Platinum and didn't complain once. Oh well, that's delta, we all deal with their silence when we post anything that is unfair."
Cons: "One of the men working the desk at the gate was rude & condescending to me. The other gate agent who was having us board (he was an ethnic man) was friendly & excellent."
Pros: "Again, despite poor flight schedule I made it on my connecting flight and it all worked out in the end."
Cons: "Again, Kayak should allow at least 2 hours of transfer time when booking flights through LAX. I had to go from one terminal to another AND go through immigration and security. In order to make sure I had enough time to make the connecting flight, I didn't check in my luggage which lead to me having to minimize liquids and pastes in my luggage (no vanilla extract or tequila). Also while making the transfer I felt rushed and stressed out. I might search for tickets using Kayak but I would not buy tickets directly from Kayak if my route involves a transfer at an airport that I am not familiar with."
Cons: "I had a reserved Comfort Class Aisle seat, purchased at time of reservation and showing as my assigned seat through printing of boarding pass. At the gate, my seat was reassigned to a middle seat. This is a huge problem for me, as my back and leg injuries require the ability to stretch and move frequently. When complaining on Delta phone lines, I was told that the seat was needed for a Diamond member and therefore was "policy" to bump. Although I eventually received some compensation for the fact I paid more for the original seat, I remain very disappointed in Delta, if this is indeed the policy."
Noisy squeaky airplane. But smooth flight and arrived early.
Cons: "Jam Packed flight.Felt like there was not a lot of precaution taken.You can thoroughly sanitize the plane but if passengers are packed in like sardines...it doesn't make much of a distance.Needed to travel for essential reasons and was nervous as it was...The airline overbooking didn't help"
Cons: "It's was a great experience thanks to all who made it possible blessings to all."
Pros: "Very clean and plane was not crowded!"
Cons: "Food and beverage service, but we completely understand with COVID 19"
Pros: "Crew was awesome, friendly, tentative, and welcoming."
Cons: "Screaming kid in the background, wouldn't stop the entire flight."
Cons: "Armrests were broken. No outlets or USB ports to charge."
Cons: "Social distancing"
Cons: "Don't get the egg salad breakfast sandwich. It's got more turkey and cheese than egg salad."
Pros: "Everything was on time considering the heavy Holidays travels."
Pros: "Terrible"
Cons: "American isn't my preferred airline for obvious reasons (delays, notoriously bad service, old planes, and a lack of amenities like WiFi and tv's), but now I'll never spend my money with them again. They took me off an already delayed flight after I'd already boarded to examine my smart bag. I know that lithium batteries can't be taken in the underbelly of the plane and I knew my bag would likely be checked at the gate (why I removed the battery and left it at home in the first place). When they asked me if I had a lithium battery in my bag I said "no." They then gate checked the bag and allowed me on the plane. After everyone had been boarded (half an hour after we'd been scheduled to take off) they then called my name out on the speaker. I had to then de-board the plane and re-explain to staff that there was no lithium battery in my bag. The staff didn't believe me citing the infallible logic: "there are ports so there's a battery." I told them again and again that the battery had been removed and the charging ports—while there—were inert as they weren't attached to the battery. STILL, I had to remove all of my clothes from the bag, and open every single compartment (of which there were many) for them to allow me to get back onto the plane. They were telling me that they might have to "rebook the flight" if my bag couldn't get on. I don't think I need to explain how agitated/terrified that made me."
Pros: "The crew"
Cons: "Less turbulence haha"
Cons: "Boarding is slow and awkward, with too many passengers with carryons that don't fit. AA did not enforce size restriction on carryon bags, nor help maximize bin space. Mainstream carriers really need to rethink boarding procedures. I've been spoiled by the speed of Southwest and the attentiveness of SWA staff to the process."
Pros: "American Airlines ancient crew could not be bothered"
Cons: "The crew could have given a care and tried to make eye contact"
Pros: "I loved everything! Best flight experience in a long time. Really easy, on time, great window seat, thank you"
Cons: "Me probably. You guys were excellent!"
Pros: "Evwrything"
Pros: "アメリカの航空会社でエコノミーでビール、ワインのアルコールの提供があったのが意外でした。"
Pros: "great trip"
Pros: "Not one thing. AA promised us a hotel. No we did not get that. And because I changed my flight on the phone (cause stuck in airport) said we we were supposed to stay there. We were not Compensated with a food voucher. I was supposed leave St Lucia though Miami and I am disappointed"
Cons: "So many ways"
Cons: "Being on time for once"
Pros: "The flight was shorter than we expected! And after a long flight that was most appreciated."
Pros: "Quick flight- Bahamas Airport was nice and walking to the plane on the tarmac was a cool experience"
Cons: "N/A- everything was pretty solid!"
Pros: "It was a great overall experience"
Cons: "Didn't have a meal but I still loved what they did serve"
Pros: "the crew was excellent .... cudos to the flight attendant ... she was both kind and sensitive to our needs."
Cons: "Boarding the plane in DC was less than desirable ... a bus took us to the plane"
Pros: "The entertainment"
Pros: "Flight was delayed due to ice storm. AA personnel were calm and kept passengers informed of when we might expected to get the next flight out. They brought in sandwiches, chips and water, which was a thoughtful thing to do."
Cons: "Very narrow seats"
Pros: "much room. great entertainment. great crew"
Cons: "The fact that my original seats were not given. The other issue was that Alaska wasn't my airline but American was. They didn't even tell me until I got to the gate, moved over to another and then got transferred over to my gate."
Pros: "I usually fly Air France but AA was terrific. Tasty food, pleasant crew, even the toilets were nicely maintained during the 9 hours flight. The only thing that AF does better is provide a full array of printed matter before boarding."
Pros: "I was not seated with my husband when we were given our tickets and they were gracious enough to give us exit row seats by each other."
Cons: "As we were boarding the plane they told us that we needed to check our bags. No other explanation was given. I brought a carry on so that I didn't have to check my bag. I thought maybe it was because there wasn't enough overhead space, but as we got on the plane the overhead bins were very large and extra space was left as they began to close up the bins for take off. It was extremely annoying and I felt I was given no choice."
Pros: "Everything was on point"
Pros: "The staff were friendly."
Cons: "Bag drop was unnecessarily slow with long processing lines. The gate area and on-boarding process was a zoo. Business Class seats (opposing design) were spartan and relatively uncomfortable. My upstairs 50B seat viewed directly into the wash room which made sleeping impossible. Food was not good. Overall, this is the weakest Business Class experience of recent memory especially for a newer wide-body aircraft."
Cons: "I called your customer service department which I believe is in India or Pakistan three times to ask them to help with an alternative flight and each time I got different information, when I asked to speak to a supervisor I was told by the punk on the end of the phone that that wouldn't be possible. I asked for his name and employee number and he told me his name was Michael, difficult to believe when he sounded Indian"
Pros: "Great food, professional conduct"
Cons: "Couldn't control window tint after we left California"
Pros: "We had a really nice, friendly and fun male flight attendant."
Pros: "New 777"
Cons: "Upon arrival to the airport, their was no place at the terminal for our plane. We spent one hour sitting at the runway. Besides that; it would have been an excellent flight."
Pros: "Friendly staff"
Cons: "Delay taking off"
Cons: "Worst seats ever. Very delayed. No entertainment"
Pros: "We had a very pleasant staff!"
Cons: "Very late"
Pros: "Flight was smooth and comfortable."
Cons: "I didn't find the crew very friendly and often don't on AA. Boarding was difficult as the agent was difficult to hear/understand."
Cons: "arrived at SFO. walked up to kiosk. Entered info. $25 x 2 for first bag! paid. went up to check-in agent. She agreed it was a mistake but could not issue refund. "refund.aa.com" did not work. very frustrating way to begin long trip. even though it was a four hour flight, AA used an older plane; roll-aboards only fit sideways, not wheels in or out, , in storage above seats, so space ran out quickly. flight crew grumbled about plane as well. not very reassuring way to fly."
Pros: "The airline was great."
Cons: "It airfare.......I've never in my life had to deal with such an unprofessional company in my entire life! I'm honestly shocked that you use them considering your a creditable company. I was screamed and cursed at hung up on and also cancelled off my flight the morning of and then had to pay an additional $100 to get back onto the flight! When I checked online they have nothing but bad reviews. Unfortunately I will not be booking through kayak again in fear of having to deal with airfare."
Pros: "mango juice and soft blankets"
Cons: "too much time between meals"
Cons: "A guy passed out prior to boarding, then they put him on the flight. We push back from the gate and start the engines and the guy passes out again. Now we are delayed 35 minutes. Why did they put someone one the flight that was clearly sick before he ever boarded then you make everyone miss their connection in Dallas. We got to the gate for our connecting flight 9 minutes before the pushed back from the ramp and they would not let us on??? WTF poor customer service!! Fly southwest from now on!"
Pros: "Everyone was helpful and friendly. It was my first trip, and I would do it again."
Pros: "Everything!"

Pros: "Boarding was easy and smooth. Even the seats in economy had plenty of leg room."
Cons: "I am not a fan of United WiFi. I was never able to watch more than five minutes of anything before the program had "unfortunately stop responding""
Pros: "No one sitting next to me."
Cons: "I need more room."
Pros: "I like watching "Hacksaw Ridge" on the flight."
Cons: "I was only offered a cookie, no snack mix. Not a big deal. The landing was terrifying. The winds must've been bad?"
Cons: "I would never pay for movies.it is too tacky that everything is for sale"
Pros: "No delays, everything went smooth"
Cons: "A small bag of small pretzel mix was tasty, but there used to be more."
Pros: "Everyone that works there"
Cons: "No free WiFi"
Pros: "Not happy. Can't afford such high fees to reschedule flight to see my 82 yo parents. I would have to fly first class to have room for my broken leg now. Doctor won't approve flight since this just happened 3/28/17. But, I can't pay so much more to fly home after surgery....near the holidays. Just makes me sad. I had insurance on 1 flight so i hope i can get 1/2 of my ticket price back. Yup, I messed up the insurance on the 2nd flight. My bad. So I'm out for 1 ticket, and a broken leg and torn ACL and I didn't see my folks. Can you do anything to help me, United? Please? Thanks. Pretty tough week."
Cons: "Will be disappointed if you don't try to help."
Pros: "on time boarding arrived early, crew was wonderful"
Pros: "Not bad overall. I was exhausted at one point and passed out in my chair. I would have missed my flight if the gentleman boarding people hadn't noticed and woke me up to ask if I should be on the flight. I was out so deeply that I hadn't heard any announcements. There wasn't any food on the three flights but a cookie waffle thing and that was all I had during the 13ish hours I was on planes. The staff was super awesome and nice. Space wasn't any different than other planes, but tight on the first flight. I got lucky on the last two."
Cons: "I was starving and literally dehydrated. I was so thirsty."
Pros: "Enjoyed the free movies"
Pros: "I need some substance $400 for a flight And you offered me No water or snack"

Cons: "Could not see outside the plane. Maybe camera pointing below the airplane and its signal feed into the television channel.."
Cons: "Being packed into the seats like sardines, not nearly enough leg room and even when reclined the chair sits too up right. When the seat in front of me leans back, I can't even lay my head down on the tray table because the space is too small for me to bend forward. So I'm forced to sit up right on two long flights, the first didn't even have in-flight entertainment. I can't imagine someone bigger than me (5'4" 150 lbs) being able to even reach the floor if something was dropped."
Pros: "Crew was polite."
Cons: "United can't get anywhere on time. It was a beautiful day no weather issues and we were still 30 minutes late. This is the 7 th time this summer there have been issues with united out of Bangor or Portland. I'm going to always take jet blue in the future."
Pros: "Old aircraft, but it had the old more comfortable seats. Flight attendant was very nice."

Pros: "Quick"
Cons: "Lost my bag"
Pros: "guess that the only thing I liked is that there was no problem during the flight."
Cons: "When we landed un Houston it took forever to get off the plane. It was unclear where to get my luggage. I had to leave it to pass through TSA to run and try to catch my flight from Houston to Chicago. When I arrived at my gate I got there just in time because they were starting to board the plane. I was uconfortable sitting between two men. I traveled alone. When we landed in Chicago, took forever to get to the gate so we can get off the plane. There was no entertainment, at least for me. My phone was way low in battery and ai couldn't watch anything."
Pros: "Your staff."
Cons: "The delays."
Pros: "united customer service quickly booked new flight for second leg as I was not going to make it in time"
Cons: "I did not like waking up super early in the morning only to sit at airport for 3 hours because an escape hatch leaked and got the radios wet. only to have the nearest tech over an hour away. and for him to not be able to do anything but let it dry out. Then the flight attendants did not even do a beverage service."
Cons: "The plane never cooled to below 80 degrees"
Pros: "On time; uneventful flight. Perfect!"

FMC has been providing turn-key Building Automation/Energy Management System and Services for almost 20 years. We work on a wide variety of projects and offer services in many vertical markets. The following case studies highlight the diversity of projects we have worked on.
TJX selected a Novar Building Control System to operate all of the building systems for its headquarters. First installed over twenty years ago, the system has continually grown with numerous facility expansions. The Building Management System provides energy efficiency and centralized management for monitoring and control. The system is still running smoothly and is a testament to the quality and longevity of Novar products and systems.
Weymouth Woods Corporate Center is a 100,000 square foot commercial office building owned and operated by Campanelli Companies. Campanelli selected FMC to complete a retrofit of eight VAV rooftop units. FMC's solution resulted in improved air flow and temperature control as well as energy efficiency. The project qualified for a $24,000 rebate from National Grid making the return on investment about 8 months.
For this commercial office facility, FMC partnered with Prism Energy Services to provide a complete renovation of the controls by replacing electronic controls with a new BACnet DDC control system. FMC utilized enhanced sequences of operation to significantly reduce the amount of energy used by the HVAC system. FMC used Energy Star to benchmark the building and continued monitoring energy performance post installation to keep the building operating at peak performance.
Hittite Microwave Corporation was expanding their headquarters to an existing 105,000 SF facility with rudimentary building controls. FMC was hired to install a complete Building Automation System (BAS) including Direct Digital Control (DDC) of all the HVAC equipment. FMC was able to integrate multiple products through a Tridium web-based front end. The flat open architecture allows for control and monitoring of all new and existing building systems regardless of manufacturer or communication protocol.
A private, college-preparatory school situated on a 28 acre campus with numerous facilities contacted FMC to integrate the campus control systems. A wide variety of systems were in use and each building "stood alone" and there was no common operator interface. FMC designed and installed an EMS that linked multiple buildings together and provided a central work station for remote monitoring.
The Town of Chelmsford hired FMC Technologies to replace the building controls in two decades-old middle schools. FMC installed a Novar building control system which dramatically improved energy efficiency. The central management capabilities of the new system provide simpler operation and a faster response time. And, above all, the more accurate temperature control helped create a more comfortable learning environment for students and staff.
FMC was contracted by the Town of Plymouth to install an EMS for the hot water system and air handling unit in the town's police station. By tightening control over the HVAC equipment, the town was able save energy while improving comfort in the facility. Remote control and monitoring of the HVAC equipment was another benefit of the new system. The town achieved the improvements with a minimal investment as 86% of the cost was covered by utility rebates.
When a leading thermal technology manufacturing facility sought energy savings for its facility, FMC Technologies found more than was asked for. Not only did FMC Technologies cut their energy bill by more than $80,000 per year through the use of variable frequency drives and a Novar building control system, it also uncovered a utility incentive that saved the company more than $97,000. FMC Technologies' excellent relationship with utilities is a great benefit to our customers.
A research-based pharmaceutical company used FMC Technologies to install a state-of-the-art building control system to support its multipurpose structure. To make the building energy efficient and assure a comfortable, reliable indoor environment, Sepracor wanted a fully integrated control system that would be flexible and easily upgraded or expanded.
The TAC solution developed and installed by FMC Technologies incorporated a wide range of third-party equipment. FMC used fiber-optic-to-LonWorks routers and designed custom-built air handling units that incorporate LonWorks based controllers. The interoperability provides all needed features plus the ability to upgrade the system or add additional equipment with ease due to the "open" nature of LonWorks technology.

Celtic submit £2.5m bid for international defender to replace Compper – report
According to Aksam, Celtic have made an initial offer of £2.5million for the 32-year-old but the Turkish side are are holding out for around £3.5million.
The Serbian international is just another one of the many defenders being linked with a move to the Scottish champions as they look to add defensive reinforcements this January.
Having let Erik Sviatchenko join Midtjylland on loan and with new boy Marvin Compper out with injury, Brendan Rodgers' squad is looking a little short of defensive cover and it looks like the scouting department have identified Tosic as a short-term solution.
Brendan Rodgers admitted in the summer that his squad needed a bit more experience and with Compper out for a while, Tosic could be an older head to guide the younger players.
On paper, Tosic certainly appeared to fit the bill for the Hoops. With over 200 appearances for clubs in France, Serbia, Turkey and elsewhere in his career, he's consistently played at a level that would suggest he could make an impact in the Scottish Premiership.
He also has extensive European experience and has shone for Besiktas in the group stages of the Champions League this season, helping his side into the last 16 of the competition.
If not him, then Celtic should be looking at players who have similar experience and quality. Perhaps new signing Marvin Compper will play a similar role, but with defensive improvement needed, bringing in another senior first team defender at that level can only be a benefit to the treble winners.

Would Ballard have approved High-Rise adaptation?
Posted By Rhys Tranter	Published 2 April 2016 3 December 2017
Will Self rates the film as an adaptation of Ballard's vision
Promotional poster for Ben Wheatley's High-Rise
Of the film adaptations that had been made of his work during his lifetime, JG Ballard vouchsafed to me that he liked Jonathan Weiss's version of The Atrocity Exhibition the best. It was hardly a surprising verdict; the movie, released in 2000, eschews any of the easy certainties of narrative for a furious collage of extreme images – urban wastelands, nuclear explosions, penises rhythmically pumping in and out of vaginas – all to the accompaniment of a voice-over comprising near-verbatim passages from the quasi-novel. And as the book is a furious collage of extreme images, the film is of the highest fidelity imaginable.
Ballard also liked Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Empire of the Sun, although more, one suspects, because of the opportunity he got to be an extra in a party scene that was set in a simulacrum of his parents' interwar home in Shanghai. So tickled was he by this Möbius-looping of reality and the imagined that Ballard wrote about the episode in another roman-à-clef, The Kindness of Women. When it was announced in the early 1990s that David Cronenberg was to adapt Ballard's apocalyptic tale of autogeddon, Crash, and moreover set it in Toronto, I was so exercised that I phoned the writer. "You can't let him do that, Jim," I protested (or words to that effect). "Crash is one of the great London novels. The city demands that it be set right here!" He was having none of it and gently talked me down: the point of the novel was to describe a global phenomenon, one Ballard termed "the death of affect". It was quite irrelevant which city the film was set in – the important point was that Cronenberg's affectless vision and planar cinematography, all lit at operating-theatre strength, strongly resonated with Ballard.
Again, I rather suspect he liked the furore that surrounded its release – the late Alexander Walker having conniptions, screening bans all over the shop – rather more than he did the film. It would be a very absurd counterfactual indeed to try to imagine what Ballard would have made of the latest adaptation to enter the lists – but then, I've never worried about appearing ridiculous. For my money, Ben Wheatley's film of High-Rise, scripted by his partner, Amy Jump, is a superb piece of work but how far it conforms to Ballard's notoriously minatory vision is another matter.
I suppose I could be credited with an infinitesimal contribution, as Jump came to see me when she was working on the screenplay. She wanted, she said, to speak to someone who had known the writer personally, but whether she managed to get much of use out of me, I have no idea. All I can recall saying is that she and Wheatley had their work cut out, given that the novel has no proper plot to speak of, being, in essence, a series of flashbacks from a scene neatly encapsulated by the book's opening line: "Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge apartment building during the previous three months."
Ballard had an impressive strike rate as a prognosticator. His early apocalyptic novels fried, drowned and blew the world apart, anticipating the environmental depredations to come, while his acute apprehension of what he saw as "the marriage of nightmare and reason which has dominated the 20th century" made him sensitive to both the rise of mediatisation and its associated pseudo-events, and also to the peculiar forms that anomie takes in societies that are characterised by material abundance and spiritual poverty.

Lawmakers divided on possibility of N.J. tax cut
Phil Gregory
As they await Gov. Chris Christie's budget address next month, New Jersey lawmakers are divided about whether the state can afford to cut taxes.
Senate Budget Committee chairman Paul Sarlo said every member of the Legislature wants to see a tax cut.
"Revenues will dictate whether or not a tax cut is feasible," he said. "At the six-month projection, the revenues are still not strong enough at this point in time to support a tax cut."
One member of the Budget Committee, however, believes a tax cut is possible.
"Whenever you can afford a tax cut, which I think we can, I think it's really a stimulus for the economy," said Sen. Kevin O'Toole, R-Essex. "I think that spurs on other activity whether it's construction or other jobs as well."
Lawmakers agree on one thing. They say the $2.3 billion that will be included in the new budget to fund the state pension system will have a big impact on the amount of money that's available for other programs.

It can be advantageous to learn how to connect to a database through code alone for certain scenarios, server-side code for example, where a UI is not required. It's also useful for separating your code (and therefore logic) from the UI, which is often a beneficial design practice.
Lets now start a new VCL application ( this could as easily be a multi-device or FMX/FireMonkey application ), and drop a button onto the main form.
We'll actually need two more units, which I'll get to in a moment. The above units are those added automatically by the IDE when you drop a TFDConnection component onto your form. TFDConnection is a class which represents our connection to the database.
As you can see, I've added a connection called 'conn' to our button handler. In the first line I instance this connection and pass in 'nil' for the owner. For this reason I'm also using a try..finally block to ensure that the connection is disposed when we're done with it.
Most lines here should be pretty obvious, and you should replace the values with suitable values for connecting to your database. For the sake of this article, you should stick to using the 'world' database that ships with MySQL, but can select another if you're confident that you know how to adjust the code.
conn.Params.DriverID := 'MySQL'; In this line we're telling FireDAC that we'll be using the MySQL database, and that it should look for the MySQL driver when attempting a connection.
conn.Params.Add('Server=127.0.0.1'); In this line we're telling FireDAC where it can find the database. Note that we're adding this parameter manually, this is because the connection parameters have to adapt among several database engines, and this parameter is not common to all engines.
conn.Params.Database := 'world'; In this line we're naming the database (or schema) that we'd like to connect to.
conn.Params.UserName := 'embt'; In this line we provide a username for a user with permission to connect to the database (schema).
conn.Params.Password := 'embt'; In this line we provide the password for the user that we named in the previous line.
conn.LoginPrompt := False; This line tells FireDAC that, as we're providing credentials for the connection, we don't want a LoginPrompt to be presented to the application user. Leaving this defaulted to true, would cause your application to request a new username and password for the connection at runtime.
//- Connect to the database..
In this code we set the Connected property of the connection to true. The property setter of the connection class will then call the connect method internally, which will initiate a connection with the database. Immediately after this line of code, we test the Connected property to confirm that a connection was made.
As you can see from the ShowMessage() lines, if the connection is made successfully you'll see a message presented to confirm a connect to the database.
The reason for this error is that we didn't yet include the MySQL specific units.
I wanted to show you this error message so that if you come across the same while connecting to some database other than MySQL you'll know how to deal with it. The error message contains a class [TFDPhysMYSQLDriverLink] (this will vary for other databases). If you were to drop this component on the form from the tool palette, it would cause the IDE to include the required units in the uses list.
As we're coding this manually without the designer however, we'll manually include the required units. For MySQL add the following units to your uses list..
Now run the application again and click the button.
Memo1.Lines.Clear; We start by clearing the memo on the form which will receive the data that we fetch from the database.
qry := TFDQuery.Create(conn); Now we create an instance of the TFDQuery class, which is the class used to execute an SQL query against the database. I'm setting our connection as the owner of this class, so the query would be disposed when the connection is disposed, however, as good practice we're going to free the control when we're done with it. Though there are exceptions to this rule, if you're just learning this you should always ensure you free database classes as soon as you're done with them, as this frees up resources in the database engine.
qry.Connection := conn; Here we tell the query class that it should connect to the database through the connection we prepared earlier.
qry.SQL.Text := 'select * from city;'; In this line we're setting up an SQL query which will select all columns of data from the 'city' table of the database.
qry.Active := true; This line causes the SQL query that we entered in the previous line to be executed against the database.
if qry.Active then begin In this line we're testing the Active property which we set to true in the previous line. If this property remains true, then our query was executed successfully. If this property returns to false, there was an error of some kind in the query. A failure will raise an exception which you could trap to examine the problem, but for the sake of this article we'll simply fail silently in this case.
qry.First; Here we tell our query to position it's cursor at the first row of data. The query cursor should already be at the first row of data, but there may be cases where this is not true, and so I like to call .First to manually ensure that the cursor is where it should be.
while (not qry.Eof) do begin This while loop is set to loop through every row of data fetched by the query. The .EOF (end of file) property will return false until the cursor is positioned after the last row of data.
Memo1.Lines.Add(qry.FieldByName('Name').AsString); In this line we're adding a string to the memo control on our form. We're using qry.FieldByName() to locate the field named 'Name' which is the name of the city represented by this row of data. This returns a class of TField which has properties to access the data in various forms. (.AsString .AsInteger, .AsFloat) We're using AsString because our memo expects string data.
qry.Next; Don't forget to put this line in the end of your while loop! This line tells the query to advance it's cursor to the next row of data. If you omit this line, the while loop will never end, and your memo box will be flooded by repeated copies of the first city found by our query.
Phew, that was a sizable chunk of code to explain. Go ahead and test run your application now to see it bring back some data!
Using the TFDQuery class you can execute any kind of SQL string (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) and even most DDL ( CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE etc…). Before you do, there are some more things that you should be aware of.
Firstly, we used the .RecordCount property in our code to ensure that more than zero rows of data were returned from our SELECT statement. If you are using INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statements, you can see how many rows of data were affected with the .RowsAffected property. I just wanted to throw that in there in case you chose to leave this article now, without reading on.
What we've done here is to add a 'where' clause to the SQL query which specifies which row of data to bring back based on it's ID field. You'll notice however, that we don't hard-code a value for the ID field into the SQL, but instead we insert a place-holder ':ID'. In the second line of code we set the parameter named 'ID' to a hard-coded value (in this case 12).
Look at the ParamByName() method and notice how it is similar to FieldByName(). They work in a similar way, the real difference is that parameters are set before executing the query, and fields are set when the query is executed in order to return the data.
As a side note, you'll see that I set the parameter 'ID' as a string in the above code. I could just as easily written the line as "ParamByName('ID').AsInteger := 12;" but I wanted to demonstrate again that the data-type can be translated for you.
Go ahead and run this application, and click the button. You'll notice that only a single record is returned as expected.
There are a number of additional methods and properties of the query class that we could look at, and of course, there are several other classes to chose from in the FireDAC framework. What I hoped to do in this article was to give you the basic building blocks needed to get started with databases in FireDAC, without the visual designer.
Perhaps I'll revisit this subject later and cover some more advanced topics, but in the meanwhile I would encourage you to explore the TFDConnection, TFDQuery, and TFDTable classes for yourself.
Thank you for information, but can you Oracle Database connection without component?

Tufted carpet accounts for about 90 percent of all the carpet produced in the United States. Dalton Georgia is considered the tufted carpet capital of the world. Due to limited design possibilities, this type of carpet is usually plain or made up of two interwoven colors or a series of dots or crude shapes. Designs can, however, be printed on the surface.
In tufted carpet the pile material is stitched into an existing backing material, usually a synthetic product, and held in place with a latex adhesive, before a second layer of backing material is fixed to the latex for greater structural strength. The backing can be either a natural product, which will require a felt, or rubber, padding (also called underlay) which can be fitted directly over the floor. Although tufted carpet is not as strong as traditional types of carpet, the construction of tufted carpet is effective and inexpensive to produce.
A textural flexibility that is achieved with varying colors, surface textures, using various type of yarns, etc.
This is the process of creating textiles, especially carpet, using specialized multi-needle sewing machines. The machines push yams through a primary backing fabric and hold them in place to form clusters, or tufts, as the needles are withdrawn.
A. Loop pile - After the needle is withdrawn from the primary backing, the looper rocks back and leaves a loop.
B. Cut Pile - After the needle is withdrawn, the hook holds several loops while the knife cuts another loop against the sharpened edge of the hook.
C. Cut and loop - A cut and loop effect can be achieved by having separate cutting and looping systems under the machine. Precision cut/uncut and Velva loop carpets are examples. Another method uses a cut/loop machine with a spring-loaded hook.
This is the material into which carpet yam is tufted. The function of primary backing is to hold tufts in place during processing.
Woven backing - A fabric made from interlacing yams. Most primary backing used with Shaw carpets is woven. Yam that runs in the machine direction (see diagram) is called the warp; and yam running across the machine direction is called the pick, fill, or weft. When we refer to a backing as 24x 1 3, we mean 24 warp ends per inch and 13 pick ends per inch. The number of tufted stitches per inch dictates which pick backing is used.
Nonwoven backing - An assembly of textile fibers held together by chemical, thermal, or mechanical bonding. Nonwovens have an advantage over wovens in that they do not bow and skew easily. However, because they are so rigid, they tend to wrinkle easily.

I quite liked this film. It disturbed me. The music and the imagery were good-weird. I thought it was well-acted, and it inspired me to look up further information about it on the internet. I thought your take on it was interesting, and I agree with a lot of the points you made. I admit I did have to watch it a couple of times to get everything, but I'm glad I did. Thank you for your thoughts, and for your time.


Distinguishing Characteristics African-American male. Black hair, brown eyes. Morris goes by his middle name, Jerome.
Morris was last seen at his home on Thomas Street in Heflin, Alabama on November 22, 1991. His mother had just had surgery on her knee, so he and his younger sister were helping her out.
A red sports car pulled up as Morris's sister was cooking dinner. He went inside and spoke to the driver, a woman he knew. His mother had told him to stay away from the woman. When he came back inside, he said his older brother had sent the woman to get him.
Morris's mother gave him permission to leave. He has never been heard from again. When his older brother came to the house later that evening, Morris's sister asked where Morris was. It turned out his brother didn't know, and hadn't sent anyone to come and get him.
Morris was a high school senior at the time of his disappearance and was known for being a good football player. His dream was to attend the University of Alabama on a football scholarship and eventually play professional football, like his uncle Ike Grant, who played for the New York Jets.
However, his younger sister stated he'd become involved with drugs by the time of his disappearance. He and his sister were close, but he wouldn't talk to her about it. Morris's case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.

On May 10 Bitcoin.com reported on how bitcoin's price rise is slowly bringing the Mt Gox bankruptcy closer to solvency. The former CEO of Mt Gox Mark Karpeles confirmed that the price was helping, but the Coinlab lawsuit was a significant deterrent. Now Karpeles has written an open letter to Coinlab's founder Peter Vessenes asking him to settle the lawsuit for five million.
Mark Karpeles former CEO of the defunct bitcoin exchange Mt Gox.
Lately, Mt Gox claimants have been focused on the words of Mark Karpeles, as he seems to be trying to help people reclaim their funds these days. Karpeles has been talking with Mt Gox claimants on Reddit and telling them bitcoin's rising price may help the bankruptcy claims. However, because Coinlab is suing Mt Gox for $75 million the defunct trading platform's customers may not see their money for a very long time.
The problem started when Mt. Gox and Coinlab announced they were forming a partnership where the Canadian company Coinlab would take over the exchange's American customers. The deal never materialized because Coinlab says Mt Gox breached a contract clause. Furthermore, the trading platform was subsequently hacked and was followed by bankruptcy. Karpeles recent "Open letter to Peter Vessenes," says now the lawsuit is impeding customers who don't deserve to lose funds because of a bad business arrangement.
"This lawsuit today is not CoinLab vs. MtGox, but CoinLab vs. the MtGox customers, now creditors, who have done nothing to deserve being involved in this," explains Karpeles.
I am writing today in hope to convince you to agree to settle this lawsuit for the five million USD which you owe to Mt Gox since four years ago.
Currently, the CoinLab vs. MtGox lawsuit has been transferred to Japan and documents are locked inside the Tokyo District Court. There have been many bitcoin enthusiasts who believe Coinlab's lawsuit is unjust and seriously deterring Mt Gox claims over the course of over three years. There is even an organization called Goxdox II, that has a website filled with disturbing issues and leaked documents concerning the CoinLab vs. MtGox lawsuit.
Karpeles agrees the lawsuit is undeserving as he writes to Vessenes saying "maybe it'd be time to consider you have gone far enough and stop with this farce." The former Mt Gox CEO says Coinlab should settle for the $5 million the company has owed the exchange for over four years.
What I am hoping for today is to see both sides stop hostilities and accept the situation. Your $75 million USD against Mt Gox and Tibanne is clearly without merit, Coinlab never suffered any losses and never even started providing the expected service, and Mt Gox will never see the $5 million USD Coinlab kept.
Karpeles says he hopes Vessenes will see the post on the Mt Gox insolvency Reddit forum and "stop this while it still makes sense to do so." He also details that he has no authority to authorize a settlement but believe the bankruptcy trustee would agree to the suggestion.
"Some creditors may argue this is way more than you deserve for having provided virtually nothing to Mt Gox, but at this point going further would only increase costs without any relief in sight, instead delaying further something that shouldn't take that long," explains Karpeles.
Whether or not Coinlab and the company's CEO Peter Vessenes will respond remains to be seen. Allegedly the Coinlab executive wrote on Mt Gox insolvency forum that he was receiving a number of emails concerning the bankruptcy. In the forum post, Vessenes says the rumors that the CoinLab vs. MtGox lawsuit is impeding the bankruptcy is incorrect information. However, the Reddit comment has since been deleted, but a screenshot of the statement was captured.
What do you think about Mark Karpeles open letter to Peter Vessenes? Do you think Coinlab should settle with Mt Gox for $5 million? Do you think the lawsuit is impeding the bankruptcy claims? Let us know what you think in the comments below.


Captain Brazilliano Roche (sometimes seen as Brazillian Roch, Roche Brazill, or Roche Brazilliano) was a Polvoran pyrate. His pyrate career is often seen as "the bloodiest and most cruel" recorded, due to his debauchery and drunken behavior. One prime example of his cruelty is noted by his once fellow officers, after he shot his first mate for insulting his choice in drink.
Brazilliano Roche joined the Volveros Party shortly after his escape from the prison camp on Fort Enkarsa, and continued his pyrate career until the Great Storm of '72, in which his ship "The Scorn" sank near Isla del Giele. His career would not continue for four more years, in which he captured his new ship, "The Temper". He remained a pyrate for 48 months before being captured in the Gulf of Segara, he was hanged in Port Arcoris.
Not many records exist describing his early life. Supposedly, he was born near or on Isla del Giele, on a citrus plantation to a noble tradesman father and a prostitute mother. His shipping experience came from years of learning and operating for his father, until his disappearance around the age fourteen.
Resurfacing at the age of 19, Brazilliano attempted to join the navy on numerous occassions - all of which failed due to his immense height. Around the age of 23, Brazilliano heard of rumors of a bounty for a treasure known as the Mask of Bara. He arrived on the small island of Hector Esqueiza, which at the time of it's founding was merely named "The Devil's Right Hand". There, he was met by a naval brigade whom had already been searching for the said mask. Brazilliano demanded they leave, and the navy arrested him under charges of "interfering with a military investigating".
As the ship neared Port Arconis, Brazilliano managed to escape and supposedly killed all members of the military crew, though some versions speak of others who sided with him. He claimed the ship as his and cursed the Polvoran government, demanding that they burn and die. He followed his demands by sending the heads of all the officers on the ship to Prince Barago, before renaming the ship "The Sea-Luck" to the famed ship known as "The Scorn".
Not only famed for his drunkenness and debauchery, Roche was also famed for cannibalism. He roasted two farmers over an open fire after they refused to offer him sanctuary in their barn, and had him and his crew eat them. Supposedly, he once captured a Polvoran Naval ship and had his crew cut them into limbs and torsos and drifted the ship into port with his flag on it's sails. Many sailors under him claim it was not uncommon for him to assault, or even kill fellow crew men for refusing to drink with him or insulting his taste in fruit-flavored drinks.

Although the experience of struggling with drug or alcohol addiction and abuse is far from uncommon, those on the outside of a recovery center often have a few misunderstandings about treatment. It can be difficult to recognize fact from fiction unless you or a loved one has experienced it, but the myths surrounding addiction can be harmful to those recovering from it. Below are three of the most common misconceptions about drug addiction and abuse to avoid continuing.
As an outsider, it's easy to wonder why addicts don't just stop using. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as making a conscious decision. Rehabilitation is necessary because addiction is an ongoing condition, just like depression or anxiety, and it requires appropriate treatment to overcome. Addiction also has a physical component, and many users experience terrible physical withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to stop on their own.
People can use and even abuse drugs and alcohol without being addicted to them. Addiction is a complex problem with many warning signs, including legal problems associated with drugs, multiple failed attempts to stop using or stop drinking, and withdrawal symptoms. Recovery centers and other rehabilitation is not necessary for every drug user, but if you suspect you or a loved one is on the brink of addiction, seek help.
Many people believe that drug addicts and alcoholics are easy to identify: they follow the stereotype of someone who loses their job and family and is unable to function in society. But many addicts very successfully pretend that nothing is wrong. In many cases, their ability to function will deteriorate over time, but an addict may be able to keep up pretenses for months or even years.
For those struggling with addiction, Red Rock Recovery Center in Denver, CO, is a safe haven. They use a 12-step approach to combat addiction and abuse while equipping residents with life skills and behavioral therapy to aid in healing. Visit the Red Rock Recovery Center website to learn all about treatment programs, and call (855) 398-6004 for immediate information.

Little is known of the mating system of water rats.
Water rats breed in the spring and summer. Females have an estrous cycle of approximately eleven days. The gestation period is about 35 days. Females can enter estrus immediately after giving birth, so litters can be produced only 35 days apart. Usually, water rats have litters of four to five young. During a good breeding season, females can have two or three litters.
Breeding occurs during spring and summer.
Young are born helpless and are cared for by their mother in her nest burrow until they are weaned, at about 35 days old.
Longevity in water rats is unknown.
Water rats are abundant and are an important prey base for many small to medium-sized predators. Their burrowing and foraging activities probably also help in the redistribution of nutrients in systems.
Water rats are widespread and abundant, they are not threatened.

APEX Insight: Recaro's seat sales have have grown considerably over recent years, leading the company to begin a renovation and expansion of its manufacturing facilities. The most recent order is from Japan's Skymark Airlines, for over 500 of Recaro's BL3530 lightweight short-haul seats.
Japan's Skymark Airlines has selected Recaro's BL3530 lightweight short-haul seats for its three new Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The total order is for over 500 seats and the first shipset of 177 seats was delivered in June of this year.
The economy-class seat weighs just over 10 kilograms and features a high literature pocket, a tablet PC holder, a USB power outlet and multiple stowage locations for personal items. Recaro has sold over 400,000 BL3530 seats since the model was introduced.
Skymark Airlines, headquartered at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, currently flies 27 Boeing 737-800 planes to 11 domestic destinations. The majority of its fleet is equipped with Recaro seats.
This order follows a the recent announcement that Air China will equip its fleet of A350 aircraft with Recaro's CL3710 economy-class seats — an order numbering 2,500 seats in all.
Earlier this month, Recaro announced that it will grow its headquarters in Schwaebish Hall, Germany, to keep up with growth. It will expand to include recently acquired land and buildings and will include the construction of new buildings and renovations to the existing facilities. The company will open new development and 3200 sqm testing hall and fire testing centers, a new canteen for staff and additional parking spaces for employees.
Last year, the company's sales grew to 487 million Euros and Recaro expects double-digit growth this year. The company's staff has also grown to 1,300 employees at Schwaebisch Hall and 2,700 employees worldwide.
The first phase of "space2grow" will begin in early 2019. The company is also expanding facilities in Poland and China.

Elmore posts my story about the Feb. 4 private Willie Nelson concert
About 200 very lucky country music fans were treated to a private concert by Willie Nelson, Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel February 4th at the famed Broken Spoke; Thursday nights in February will never feel so hot again in Austin, Texas. The founder of Girling Home Health Care Inc. sponsored the city's biggest private event of the year at its oldest and most beloved honky tonk. Unable to attend her own birthday party due to the onset of sudden illness, Bettie Girling, the widow of the late Robert Girling, watched the party via Skype from her bed at home across town. Nevertheless, Nelson and Benson sang "Happy Birthday" to Bettie together with all of her invited guests who also enjoyed a barbecue feast and spirited drinks. For about an hour and a half and just inches away from his audience, Nelson sang a hit parade of songs that marked more than 50 years of his professional music career, beginning with the 1961 number one hit, "Hello Walls," followed by "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" (1975) and "On The Road Again" (1980).
The 82-year-old Red Headed Stranger closed the night with an intimate crowd sing-along on "The Party's Over," a song Nelson wrote and Claude Gray first recorded in 1959. All evening Benson accompanied Willie on guitar and backup vocals together with keyboard player Emily Gimble, the daughter of the late Texas Playboy Johnny Gimble. Other Asleep at the Wheel members included fiddler Katie Shore, steel player Eddie Rivers, mandolin and fiddle player Dennis Ludicker and David Sanger on drums. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and his wife, Cecilia, also made a brief appearance together at the celebration, flanked by several Travis County deputies. Dozens of other local celebrities, including writer/actor/filmmaker Turk Pipkin sat on the dance floor to take photos up close and personal. Closing time came early – 10 o'clock– at the red, rustic and barn-like Broken Spoke, a 51-year-old icon that has withstood the test of time and new development along a one-mile stretch of South Lamar. Its 76-years young founders, James and Annetta White, both waved goodbye from the porch as dust settled in the Broken Spoke's dirt parking lot and Nelson's tour bus left for a Feb. 9 appearance in Charlotte, N.C. a.
