The word 'Idolatry' appears 1,137 times in the published writings of EGW See page on Original site Related phrase: form of idolatry ( 7 )
In rejecting the truth, men reject its Author. In trampling upon the law of God, they deny the authority of the Law-giver. It is as easy to make an idol of false doctrines and theories as to fashion an idol of wood or stone. By misrepresenting the attributes of God, Satan leads men to conceive of Him in a false character. With many, a philosophical idol is enthroned in the place of Jehovah; while the living God, as He is revealed in His word, in Christ, and in the works of creation, is worshiped by but few. Thousands deify nature while they deny the God of nature. Though in a different form, idolatry exists in the Christian world today as verily as it existed among ancient Israel in the days of Elijah. The god of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians, journalists -- the god of polished fashionable circles, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institutions -- is little better than Baal, the sun-god of Phoenicia. Great Controversy, page 583.1 Read entire chapter 36
When the foundations of the earth were laid, then was also laid the foundation of the Sabbath. I was shown that if the true Sabbath had been kept, there would never have been an infidel or an atheist. The observance of the Sabbath would have preserved the world from idolatry. {CET 86.1}
This woman was a special agent of Satan and had brought to her masters much gain by soothsaying. Her influence had helped to strengthen idolatry. Satan knew that his kingdom was being invaded, and he resorted to this means of opposing the work of God, hoping to mingle his sophistry with the truths taught by those who were proclaiming the gospel message. The words of recommendation uttered by this woman were an injury to the cause of truth, distracting the minds of the people from the teachings of the apostles and bringing disrepute upon the gospel, and by them many were led to believe that the men who spoke with the Spirit and power of God were actuated by the same spirit as this emissary of Satan. {AA 212.3}
Thus closed the labors of the apostle at Athens, the center of heathen learning, for the Athenians, clinging persistently to their idolatry, turned from the light of the true religion. When a people are wholly satisfied with their own attainments, little more need be expected of them. Though boasting of learning and refinement, the Athenians were constantly becoming more corrupt and more content with the vague mysteries of idolatry. {AA 239.2}
The apostle's words of warning to the Corinthian church are applicable to all time and are especially adapted to our day. By idolatry he meant not only the worship of idols, but self-serving, love of ease, the gratification of appetite and passion. A mere profession of faith in Christ, a boastful knowledge of the truth, does not make a man a Christian. A religion that seeks only to gratify the eye, the ear, and the taste, or that sanctions self-indulgence, is not the religion of Christ. {AA 317.1}
The dwellers on the plain of Shinar disbelieved God's covenant that he would not again bring a flood upon the earth. Many of them denied the existence of God, and attributed the flood to the operation of natural causes. Others believed in a supreme being, and that it was he who had destroyed the antediluvian world; and their hearts, like that of Cain, rose up in rebellion against him. One object before them in the erection of the tower of Babel was to secure their own safety in case of another deluge. By carrying the structure to a much greater height than was reached by the waters of the flood, they thought to place themselves beyond all possibility of danger. And as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds, they hoped to ascertain the cause of the flood. The whole undertaking was designed to exalt still further the pride of its projectors, and to turn the minds of future generations away from God, and lead them into idolatry. -- "Patriarchs and Prophets," p. 119. (CE 208.2)
From a race of slaves the Israelites had been exalted above all peoples to be the peculiar treasure of the King of kings. God had separated them from the world, that He might commit to them a sacred trust. He had made them the depositaries of His law, and He purposed, through them, to preserve among men the knowledge of Himself. Thus the light of heaven was to shine out to a world enshrouded in darkness, and a voice was to be heard appealing to all peoples to turn from their idolatry to serve the living God. If the Israelites would be true to their trust, they would become a power in the world. God would be their defense, and He would exalt them above all other nations. His light and truth would be revealed through them, and they would stand forth under His wise and holy rule as an example of the superiority of His worship over every form of idolatry. Patriarchs and Prophets, page 314.2
It was because the Israelites were so disposed to connect themselves with the heathen and imitate their idolatry that God had permitted them to go down into Egypt, where the influence of Joseph was widely felt, and where circumstances were favorable for them to remain a distinct people. Here also the gross idolatry of the Egyptians and their cruelty and oppression during the latter part of the Hebrew sojourn should have inspired in them an abhorrence of idolatry, and should have led them to flee for refuge to the God of their fathers. This very providence Satan made a means to serve his purpose, darkening the minds of the Israelites and leading them to imitate the practices of their heathen masters. On account of the superstitious veneration in which animals were held by the Egyptians, the Hebrews were not permitted, during their bondage, to present the sacrificial offerings. Thus their minds were not directed by this service to the great Sacrifice, and their faith was weakened. When the time came for Israel's deliverance, Satan set himself to resist the purposes of God. It was his determination that that great people, numbering more than two million souls, should be held in ignorance and superstition. The people whom God had promised to bless and multiply, to make a power in the earth, and through whom he was to reveal the knowledge of His will -- the people whom He was to make the keepers of His law -- this very people Satan was seeking to keep in obscurity and bondage, that he might obliterate from their minds the remembrance of God. Patriarchs and Prophets, page 333.3
Salvation Imperiled by Idolatry of Dress.-- Pride and vanity are manifested everywhere; but those who are inclined to look into the mirror to admire themselves will have little inclination to look into the law of God, the great moral mirror. This idolatry of dress destroys all that is humble, meek, and lovely in character. It consumes the precious hours that should be devoted to meditation, to searching the heart, to the prayerful study of God's Word. . . . No Christian can conform to the demoralizing fashions of the world without imperiling his soul's salvation. {CG 433.2}
There are today close beside us many who are hungry, naked, and homeless. A neglect to impart of our means to these needy, suffering ones places upon us a burden of guilt which we shall one day fear to meet. All covetousness is condemned as idolatry. All selfish indulgence is an offense in God's sight. {COL 261.3}
In such a time as this, every child of God should be actively engaged in helping others. As those who have an understanding of Bible truth try to seek out the men and women who are longing for light, angels of God will attend them. And where angels go, none need fear to move forward. As a result of the faithful efforts of consecrated workers, many will be turned from idolatry to the worship of the living God. Many will cease to pay homage to manmade institutions, and will take their stand fearlessly on the side of God and His law.-- Prophets and Kings, p. 171. {ChS 260.1}
God does not regard all sins as of equal magnitude; there are degrees of guilt in His estimation as well as in that of finite man. But however trifling this or that wrong in their course may seem in the eyes of men, no sin is small in the sight of God. The sins which man is disposed to look upon as small may be the very ones which God accounts as great crimes. The drunkard is despised and is told that his sin will exclude him from heaven, while pride, selfishness, and covetousness go unrebuked. But these are sins that are especially offensive to God. He "resisteth the proud," and Paul tells us that covetousness is idolatry. Those who are familiar with the denunciations against idolatry in the word of God will at once see how grave an offense this sin is. {5T 337.2}

Abstract. An investigation of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) height evolution over Greece, during the solar eclipse of 29 March 2006, is presented. Ground based observations were carried out using lidar detection and ranging devices and ground meteorological instruments, to estimate the height of the mixing layer (ML) before, during and after the solar eclipse in northern and southern parts of Greece exhibiting different sun obscuration. Data demonstrate that the solar eclipse has induced a decrease of the PBL height, indicating a suppression of turbulence activity similar to that during the sunset hours. The changes in PBL height were associated with a very shallow entrainment zone, indicating a significant weakening of the penetrative convection. Heat transfer was confined to a thinner layer above the ground. The thickness of the entrainment zone exhibited its minimum during the maximum of the eclipse, demonstrative of turbulence mechanisms suppression at that time. Model estimations of the PBL evolution were additionally conducted using the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with extensions (CAMx) coupled with the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). Model-diagnosed PBL height decrease during the solar eclipse due to vertical transport decay, in agreement with the experimental findings; vertical profiles of atmospheric particles and gaseous species showed an important vertical mixing attenuation.

Q: Getting current annotation information to display in a view in xamarin iOS In my application I would like when the user clicks an annotation for for my UITextviews to show some more descriptive information about that annotation like title, latitude, and longitude. My issue is I have no idea on how to get this information after the annotations have been added to the map. Here is some of my code I am using for the MKAnnotationView which is just built into my custom view controller.
    MKAnnotationView GetViewForAnnotation(MKMapView mapView, IMKAnnotation annotation)
    {
        MKAnnotationView annotationView = mapView.DequeueReusableAnnotation(annotationIdentifier);
        // Set current location and location of annotation
        CLLocationCoordinate2D currentLocation = mapView.UserLocation.Coordinate;
        CLLocationCoordinate2D annotationLocation = annotation.Coordinate;

        // We don't want a special annotation for the user location
        if (currentLocation.Latitude == annotationLocation.Latitude && currentLocation.Longitude == annotationLocation.Longitude)
            return null;

        if (annotationView == null)
            annotationView = new MKPinAnnotationView(annotation, annotationIdentifier);
        else
            annotationView.Annotation = annotation;

        annotationView.CanShowCallout = true;
        (annotationView as MKPinAnnotationView).AnimatesDrop = false; // Set to true if you want to animate the pin dropping
        (annotationView as MKPinAnnotationView).PinColor = MKPinAnnotationColor.Red;
        annotationView.SetSelected(true, false);

        _annotationDetailButton = UIButton.FromType(UIButtonType.DetailDisclosure);
        _annotationDetailButton.TouchUpInside += (sender, e) =>
        {
            //put create segue her
            PerformSegue("ShowCollectionDetail", Self);

        };

        annotationView.RightCalloutAccessoryView = _annotationDetailButton;

        // Annotation icon may be specified like this, in case you want it.
        // annotationView.LeftCalloutAccessoryView = new UIImageView(UIImage.FromBundle("example.png"));
        return annotationView;
    }

A: You can create your custom MKAnnotation as follows:
public class AnnotationModel : MKAnnotation
{
    private string _title;
    private string _subtitle;

    public AnnotationModel(CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate, string title, string subtitle = "")
    {
        this.Coords = coordinate;
        _title = title;
        _subtitle = subtitle;
    }

    public override string Title { get { return _title; } }
    public override string Subtitle { get { return _subtitle; } }
    public CLLocationCoordinate2D Coords;
    public override CLLocationCoordinate2D Coordinate { get { return this.Coords; } }
}

Then you can use this annotation in your GetViewForAnnotation() method.
For more info look at this link.

A: map.DidSelectAnnotationView += (object sender, MKAnnotationViewEventArgs e) =>

{
                annoList = map.SelectedAnnotations;
                foreach (IMKAnnotation a in annoList)
                {
                    SculptureTitle.Text = a.GetTitle();
                }
            };

Q: LaTeX lstlisting not highlighting keywords when basic style is ttfamily I'm working on a LaTeX document and using lstlisting to display my Java source code. My setup looks like this:
\lstset{
  basicstyle=\ttfamily,
  keywordstyle=\bfseries,
  language=Java,
  frame=single,
  aboveskip=11pt,
  belowskip=11pt,
  breaklines=true,
  breakatwhitespace=false,
  showspaces=false,
  showstringspaces=false
}

The keywords are not highlighted bold when using ttfamily, but if I use small or don't specify the basic style, they're highlighted fine.
What am I missing?

A: The default font in LaTeX, Computer Modern, does not provide a bold version of the teletype family. You can install this as the bold-extra package; see this FAQ entry for details.

A: Another option is to swap which fonts you're using for bold as described here: http://www.macfreek.nl/mindmaster/LaTeX_Bold_Typewriter_Font
Just putting this line at the top of my document worked for me on a pretty standard Ubuntu build:
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{cmtt}{bx}{n}{<5><6><7><8><9><10><10.95><12><14.4><17.28><20.74><24.88>cmttb10}{}

A: There is an alternative approach (a bit simplee IMHO) here using a Courier font instead of the default Computer Modern:
% Using Courier font
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}
\begin{lstlisting}[basicstyle=\ttfamily\bfseries]
y:=2
\end{lstlisting}

All credits goes of cause to Marco Daniel!

Biggest Cities In Niger
Niamey, the capital of Niger, is also its socioeconomic center, and the only city in the country with 1 million+ people.
Niamey is the largest city in Niger with a population of 1,302,910 inhabitants.
Niamey, the capital of Niger, is also the country's socioeconomic center, and the only city in the country with 1 million+ people. Niger is situated in western Africa and borders Nigeria, Chad, Mali, Burkina Faso, Libya, and Algeria. Niger's cities have been on an upward trajectory regarding growth, a reflection of the country's overall development.
The Four Biggest Cities In Niger
With 1,302, 910 inhabitants, Niamey is the largest city in Niger. Located on the banks of River Niger, Niamey was the first military base of the French colony. The agriculturally conducive area around Niamey had facilitated the settlement of tribes such as the Maouri before French occupation. Established as the capital of the French Colony in 1926, Niamey was on track for tremendous growth. Much of its significance is derived from its location on the River Niger. The city is an important agricultural, manufacturing, administrative, and cultural center. Most of the inhabitants of the biggest are employed in the service industries, and the city is home to the University of Niamey, National School of Administration, the National Museum, and an international airport. As a third world city, Niamey is not immune to problems associated with rapid urban growth. Planning and infrastructure development in Niamey do not correlate with population growth, and this has caused uncontrolled development in the city. Slums in Niamey are characterized by a lack of adequate social services including sanitation.
Zinder is the second largest city in Niger with a population of 256,000. Situated in south-central Niger, Zinder was mainly an important center of the Trans-Saharan trade. The city was a significant Islamic center for the Sultanate of Damagaram and the Sultanate of Bornu before French occupation. Zinder was briefly the capital of the French colony (1922-1926) due to its relative stability from Niamey. The city is especially significant for peanut production and processing and a thermoelectric power plant. The city has an airport and roads and is subsequently a transport center. The major problem in Zinder city is perennial water shortages, which has constantly affected its growing population.
Maradi
With 206,414 inhabitants, Maradi is the third largest city in Niger and is the administrative capital of the Maradi region. The city lies on the southern part of the Nigeria border. Originally a Hausa state, the city was subsequently occupied by the French and developed into an important commercial center starting the 1950s.
Maradi is home to a rapidly growing economy, and its fertile lands support the cultivation of produce such as peanuts, groundnuts, cassava, sorghum and millet. Various factories such as mattress and cooking oil production and leather tanning employ Maradi's population. The city is dominated by the Hausa and is an important center for Hausa culture.
Tahoua
Tahoua is home to 123,000 inhabitants and is the administrative capital of the Tahoua region. The city serves as a merchant center for the surrounding agricultural regions. Culturally, the city is the meeting center for the Tuareg and Fulani ethnic groups. The city is also significant for the mining of gypsum and phosphates and has the Tahoua Airport.
Other Biggest Cities In Niger
Other cities in Niger and their respective populations are: Agadez (118,244); Arlit (112,432); Dosso (91,488); Dogondoutchi (79,389); Birni-N'Konni (57,000) and Tessaoua (43,409). Niger has one of the world's fastest growing populations, fueled by high fertility rates. The country is projected to have a population of over 50 million by 2050, with much of the growth being experienced in its cities.
Which Is The Most Populous City In Niger?
With 1,302, 910 inhabitants, Niamey is the largest city in Niger. Located on the banks of River Niger, Niamey was the first military base of the French colony.

Technology is great, isn't it?
We listen to music on our smartphones, stream HD movies over the Internet to our TV, and now Uber and Google are testing driverless cars.
And when it comes to personal finance, there are smartphone apps to help you track your expenses, online budgeting tools so you can link all your bank accounts, and now you can finance a mortgage with Rocket Mortgage in just one click.
But is all this technology really necessary to manage your finances? More specifically, do you really need to learn a new application or technology to budget your money? Is it possible to create a simple budget and start budgeting today?
Don't misunderstand me. I am a huge proponent of using whatever method you are comfortable with to manage your finances. If it works for you, use it! However, as it relates to budgeting I sometimes wonder if all this technology has a tendency to make us feel like we are doing more than we really are, or need to do. Does it create a false sense of accomplishment? Or a belief that without technology we can't start budgeting at all.
That belief, the one that says we can't budget our money without some special app would be a self-limiting belief. Self-limiting from the perspective that in our mind we can't start budgeting our money until we have an app to do it with and because we believe that, we may procrastinate and in the end choose to not budget at all.
The reality is, people were managing their money way before the Internet and smartphones.
When I am consulting with individuals about creating a budget, I always emphasize the importance of keeping things simple. Simplicity allows you to focus on what's important which is your budget, not learning some new software app or the fact you forgot your password. Simplicity improves your ability to stay motivated and creates consistency, which in the long run is what is needed to stick with any budgeting plan.
So, how do you create a simple budget?
From a FTP perspective, there are only two things you need to understand when creating a budget. First, Need Expenses and second your Actual Expenses.
Need Expenses. Need expense are those critical items you need to pay for to survive. (Survive is kind of a dramatic way of saying this is what I am responsible for.) Food's a good place to start, electric, phone, insurance, mortgage or rent – you get the idea. Need Expenses may also include your current student loan, or credit card debt. The debt you're trying to pay off. Understanding your Need Expenses helps you understand what you really need to budget for each month.
Actual Expenses. Actual expenses are what you're really spending on a monthly basis. We often underestimate what we really need with what we want – this leads to more spending. If you track your expenses for a month inevitably you will find ways to cut-back and save more money. Those savings can then be used to pay off debt faster, build up an emergency fund, or simply grow your savings.

Q: ServerAlias or Redirect I have a site running at
www.domainA.com

and need this to be pointed to
www.domainB.com/domainA

www.domainB.com is running WordPress on Apache and we currently have a ServerName for domainB and a ServerAlias set up for domainA.
Am I right in thinking that this alias would take precedence over any 301 redirects we have set up in a .htaccess file on domainB.
At the moment the www.domainA.com is just redirecting to www.domainB.com.
Is there a correct way to do this?

A: Like other users are saying I think configuring virtual hosts would be the best way. There is a great guide on how to do that here.
While following that guide simply add this to your domainA.conf file
<Location /domainB>
     ProxyPass http://localhost:domainBport
     ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:domainBport
</Location>

This assumes both domains are running on the same apache server.

Johnny English Strikes Again is not a very good movie but at least is tolerably bad if only for Rowan Atkinson's physical humor more so than the actual jokes.

Universal Pictures Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post.
THE MOVIE — 2.25/5
Honestly, the Johnny English franchise is pretty weird. It was 8 years between the first and the second and 7 years between the second and this one, Johnny English Strikes Again. I understand why this got made since Johnny English Reborn managed to make $151 million overseas off of a $45 million budget. This entry, at only $25 million also managed to make a nice bundle overseas while bombing here in the States.
Although I do love Rowan Atkinson and think he is a brilliant comedian, I can't for the life of me remember one thing that happened in the other two movies, yet based on my IMDb, I had seen them at some point. And if what I just watched is any indication, when Johnny English Retribution comes out in 2027, highly doubtful I will remember that came out of this movie.
The plot finds the hapless Johnny English (ROWAN ATKINSON), now a teacher at a prestigious private school, called back into action when British computer systems are hacked and secret agents' identities are exposed. English re-teams with his partner/sidekick Bough (BEN MILLER) as the travel the globe, following clues which lead them to a sultry Russian assassin, Ophelia Bhuletova (OLGA KURYLENKO).
In the meantime, the daft Prime Minister (EMMA THOMPSON), when more and more systems are hacked, goes to tech giant Jason Volta (JAKE LACY) who might be the man to help find the hacker, and in return be in charge of the UK's entire electronic infrastructure. Any guess who the villain of the story is? Not that it matters, and perhaps to the film's credit, as the filmmakers thankfully didn't exactly disguise Volta's villainy, the only one fooled is the PM, certainly a caricature of Teresa May I'd guess (not entirely steeped in UK politics).
As I said at the start, Rowan Atkinson is a brilliant comedian and honestly, although most of the 'jokes' don't really work, or skits I'd call it in some scenes, I can't imagine how much worse of an experience Johnny English Strikes Again would have been without Atkinson, whom did illicit a few laughs out of me but mostly for his physical humor rather than any scripted jokes.
The supporting cast was alright, though nothing exactly noteworthy. Ben Miller returns to his role from the first movie though I don't remember him at all, but serves as English's partner well, however he's not that much more competent of a character. Olga Kurylenko is in fine form with a limited role as a Russian spy, though like Atkinson, doesn't get a whole hell of a lot to work with. Jake Lacey plays the smarmy rich tech CEO with plans to be tapped in to every government and get a hold of ultimate power. And last Emma Thompson, a wonderful actress, doesn't get the jokes that land either, but on the other hand, not being a Brit, maybe her Teresa May-like character connects more.
Johnny English Strikes Again was helmed by David Kerr marking his feature film debut but does have a lengthy track record on British television. Again, there's nothing all that creative both in terms of the direction or the writing with the script from William Davies, who was the original writer of the series (and got a story credit for the sequel).
SPECIAL FEATURES – 3.0/5
This release comes with a semi-glossy, title-embossed, slip cover. Inside is a redemption code for the Digital HD copy.
Audio Commentary – Director David Kerr gives a very nice track discussing the origins of the project, filming locales, and some other of the technical details as well as working with the Atkinson and the cast.
The Comedy Genius of Rowan Atkinson (4:58; HD) is a profile on the actor from the perspectives by his co-stars.
A Cast of Characters (7:12; HD) breaks down the ensemble and actors who portray them.
The Johnny English Legacy (5:06; HD) – This featurette looks at the franchise which began in 2003.
Virtual Reality Johnny English Style (4:14; HD) breaks down the VR sequence.
The Gadgets (6:08) is on the analog tech English uses and his confliction with the digital world.
The Cars (5:07; HD) looks at the variety of souped up vehicles used in the film.
Locations and Design (4:03; HD) – The featurette delves into the production designs on the film.
Previews – Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, The House with a Clock in its Walls
Universal releases Johnny English Strikes Again onto Blu-ray where it is presented in its original 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio. The 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec) looks as good as one would expect from your basic point-and-shoot comedy film with plenty of bright and natural colors, while detail is sharp with no terribly noticeable bouts of artifacting or aliasing.
AUDIO – 4.5/5
The movie does come equipped with an unnecessarily overly powerful yet robust DTS: X track which does take full advantage of some of the more action-centric scenes. Dialogue does come through the center channel with nice clarity and some good depth, though one instance of an explosion did feel a bit lacking.
Overall, Johnny English Strikes Again is not a very good movie but at least is tolerably bad if only for Rowan Atkinson's physical humor more so than the actual jokes, but considering it made bank overseas, there will likely be a fourth entry, hopefully they'll get a better screenplay. This Blu-ray release offers good video/audio transfers and a so-so selection of bonus material.

Great review thank you, I agree it was a week movie, but me & my daughter went to see it anyway, Rowan is such a great comedian that we find him worth going to see even in a bad movie. We enjoyed it for what it was. The Dance sequence in the middle of the movie was worth it.
TheMovieman says:
Yes. Like I said, the material wasn't great, but Atkinson's physical humor was the highlight.

Hi peeps, this is a reblog from Hugh Roberts on a serious topic that has been baffling both of us all week. Hugh and I have been conspiring, trying to figure out what's going on.
Before you get to reading his post on spam, I just want to say what a trying week I've been having as though the planets are having a party throwing every wrench into anything possible I'm working on regarding technical issues. I don't seem to be the only one these things are happening to, including my formatter who was supposed to have my new book files to me earlier this week and hasn't yet because of her loss of wifi.
Besides my book issues, WEIRDPRESS has been wreaking havoc on me. I apparently, have lost the ability to comment on many of your posts. When I comment and hit 'post', the comment disappears into thin air without an explanation. I've emailed a few of you to ask if they perhaps went to spam, only to find, I'm not even in spam when that happens. But plenty of you have found me in spam, the blogs where I was lucky enough to get my comments through. I've also noticed my notifications aren't all coming through. So if you did receive a comment from me and replied and found no response from me, it's because Weirdpress didn't notify me of follow up comments.
I have tried a 'workaround' method to try and comment on some blogs. Some of them will let me sign in from another social site, such as Facebook. In those instances you will notice my name is my full name Debby Gies instead of my usual 'dgkaye' with my gravatar. Also you won't be able to hover over the gravatar. This is infuriating and I've wasted countless hours and nights this week trying to find resolution to no avail. So all I can ask is that you please check your spam regularly because it seems that there are many of us getting lost there. As for my commenting on your blogs, if you see I've 'liked' your post then you will at least know I've been there. I wish someone would figure out what's going on. If you have any ideas, please leave them in comments.
I've been taken hostage by the WordPress spam monster and, since Wednesday, all the comments I've been leaving on other blog posts seem to have gone straight into the spam folder.
Please check your spam folder and let me know if you find me in there. If you do, then please mark the comment as not spam. The spam monster will then release me and I'll appear in the comments section of the post.
I noticed this problem last year when bloggers who were approved and had commented many times would appear in spam. I have since learned to regularly check my spam folder and approve again! Very frustrating…there are so many issues and problems with WP at times I despair. The other day my draft post glitched and put all the photos on twice in preview even though I'd only got them in once on my draft! I ended up just turning off my computer and walking away for a while.
Weird indeed! I can't LIKE any blog post on my desktop, only on my phone (forever). Subscriptions to one of my sites don't get sent. Today I tried commenting here, via phone, and got a 502 error from your server!
No idea how the comment got through anyway ?!?!?! Maybe this was the one from the desktop; don't remember now. 🙂 I tried both.
Had an error I've never seen before: 502 "Bad Gateway" in trying to leave a comment, via my phone. May be a server issue at your end. On the desktop now. One interesting thing is that my Chrome browser was running a little message at the bottom bar saying something like waiting for storyfinds.com. Do you have that somewhere on your site?
Anyway, I always get your comments and your posts via email. What you and nobody else get from me is subscription posts from my johnswriting.com site. Other "WeirdPress" site jetpack subs work; this one doesn't. Also, I never can LIKE any post anywhere via my desktop; I must do that on my phone!
John, I just found this comment in spam! And yes, I have a widget with Storyfinds …???
Oh lord. WP has been acting up for me, too. Some folks can't subscribe and others can't comment. Le sigh.
Hope your and Hugh's troubles sort out soon!
Found and rescued several of your comments from there. How very dare they! Welcome back to my red carpet, Debby!
I so know how this feels Debby, and was glad I came to the rescue.. I check my spam box each time I finish off on WP these days, as more and more genuine comments are finding their way in there.
I checked through 63 last evening and all were spammers.
I too have had problems though with notifications, not getting replies to comments I made yet when I visit sites they have replied..
But when you consider how many now use WP I suppose it is not surprising we are getting all of the gremlins in the works..
But I wish WP would make it easier when you have a problem so they would respond to your complaints.. Seems that dept is very lax.
I had a problem with all my comments on other blogs (except my own blog) ending up in spam. It took them a couple of days, but they sorted it.
Hi Debby. Thank you for sharing my post.
An update from me. As you know, I got an email from WordPress yesterday advising me to contact Akismet about the problem. I did that and today I've had another reply from another WordPress Happiness Engineer saying they can't understand why my comments are all being marked as spam! They asked me to complete another form, which I was doing until it asked me to gave the web address of one of the blogs where my comment was marked as spam. I've spent the morning leaving various comments on blogs where I knew the problem had not already occurred and, lo and behold, all of them have appeared without going to spam! I'm going to keep trying throughout the day to see if I have any further problems.
I'll be honest and say that I think that somebody at WordPress has fixed the problem for me but has not wanted to admit what had caused it. This problem seems to stem back many months from what other bloggers have told me who have also had the same problem with their comments being marked as spam.
I hope you find yourself in the same position as me when you start visiting blogs and leaving fresh comments.
I hope the week ahead is a far better one for you, Debby. I'll certainly let you know if I encounter any further problems with Akismet.
I hope those formatted files come through this week. I'd have been pulling what hair I allow on head, out!
Yes, I published a post earlier with a link to Akismet. I just hope they get this problem sorted out quickly and not inflicted what we've gone through on anymore bloggers.
Great conversation, Debbie. I just read through all your comments–fascinating how many have had problems. I found 5-10 in spam, but that was it. Not all. How does that happen? You'd think it'd be all or none.
I can remember this used to happen to me frequently when I would try to leave comments here, on your blog. It got to the point where I would write the comments, then highlight and copy it before hitting 'post', in case it did its vanishing act. At least then I could simply copy it in and have another go!

By the end of 2017, China will secure the full delivery of a three-year, 18-million new homes development program for rundown urban areas across the country.
The matter was deliberated at a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday.
Li called for greater endeavors to get all pieces of the preparations together. He defined the campaign as a major component of the supply-side structural reform and a strong push to improve quality of life and development outlooks.
"Our institutional advantages have been demonstrated over the past eight years as the campaign has achieved fruitful outcomes and a set of good practices," he said.
According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the government invested 1.48 trillion yuan (215.25 billion U.S. dollars) in 2016 to build 6.06 million new homes for shantytown redevelopment, 60,000 more than last year's target. In 2015, the number was 6.01 million. The plan was the latest effort to fulfill the government's promise made three years ago to rebuild rundown areas with a combined total of 100 million residents.
In his Government Work Report delivered in March, the premier vowed to revamp 6 million housing units for shantytown redevelopment this year and continue to develop rental housing and other forms of government-subsidized housing. He also promised better delivery of financial compensation combining multiple means for relocated families while improving infrastructure and public services to lift living standards.
From January to April this year, the country had completed 36 percent of the year's goal by starting construction of 2.19 million housing units.
Wednesday's meeting decided to make solid progress of new redevelopment projects in quality and in speed on par with last year. New phases of existing projects are to be finished as early as possible.
More relocated families will get these compensations in monetary form, especially in third- and fourth-tier cities to help sell inventories of residential complexes. Amenities and public services such as schools and hospitals will be improved to nurture a comfortable environment for relocated families.
Meanwhile, fund management will be strengthened to control the costs as local governments will be urged to make the best of earmarks and prevent embezzlement.
Li urged to ensure construction quality, supporting facilities and housing allocations. "We want the families that move into their new homes to enjoy their new lives as early as possible," he said.
A follow-up plan will be made to grant stronger support in fund, financing and adequate supply of land for the shantytown redevelopment program from 2018 to 2020, the last step to build new homes for about 100 million people who used to live in shantytowns and urban villages.
Shantytown redevelopment has played a bolstering role in economic growth by boosting investment and consumption, including household appliances, and has improved living conditions.
Li called for all efforts to keep the projects, new or old, ahead of schedule, so that those families can move into new homes sooner.
"China's industrialization and urbanization is a lasting effort. We have many people that are yet to move to the cities and start new lives. We should remain unrelenting in our efforts to live up to the people's expectations," he said.
Not only did people's livelihood improve, but investment and consumption rose and the glut of homes in many cities was eased, said the statement.
Participants also discussed measures to remove approvals and accreditations for professional qualifications as a way to promote entrepreneurship and innovation.
A national professional qualification catalogue will be established. The government has eliminated 434 professional qualifications since 2014, accounting for more than 70 percent of the total.

The wind-up program for the Adventure Day Camp was held on August 16. The younger class (L-R) Allison, Jayden and Hunter, pose in front of the United Church with two of the leaders.
They had two groups age 4 to 6 and 7 to 13. The younger group learned about the bible through a program featuring Veggie Tales videos and bible stories. The 7 to 13 group learned about the colours of salvation. They enjoyed games, songs, stories, puppet shows, songs, crafts and more. There were two teams that came out from Winnipeg and area this year which made it nice as they worked with both groups. The leaders were, a young married couple Sydney and Ryan, Aadan, Jen, Nobel, Brianna, Alissa and Bonnie.
There was a lot of involvement from the community churches from billeting, meals, snacks, the meal for the wind-up. A lot of fun was had by everyone as well as some good life lessons were learned.

The Ancient World: Or, Picturesque Sketches of Creation
Por David Thomas Ansted
With regard to our own country, the principal deposits subsequent to the carboniferous rocks fringe these rocks both on the western and eastern sides. They pass in some cases by regular transition from the coal-measures, occasionally containing similar fossil vegetable and animal remains, and rarely indicating the lapse of any long period corresponding to a considerable break in the continuity of the successive
strata.
Overlying the coarse sandy beds which rest upon the coal-measures, there is next met with a limestone, (the magnesian limestone,) which differs considerably from most of the ordinary limestones in its general appearance, and which, in the possession of a variable proportion of carbonate of magnesia, mixed with its carbonate of lime, seems to have required either a totally different condition of deposition from any with which we are acquainted, or a subsequent change only seen at present in recent volcanic districts, and then on a small scale. This limestone, however, contains fossils, and among them a few corals and shells; and there are also found in it fragments and sometimes complete skeletons of fishes, which seem to have been tolerably abundant in the seas, since whole beds are charged with animal bitumen, probably derived from their decomposition, and in these beds the skeletons and other indications of the fishes are more than usually plentiful. But the most remarkable phenomenon of the magnesian limestone and contemporaneous strata is the presence in them of distinct reptilian remains, at least five species of which have already been made out.
Over various parts of the continent of Europe, as
in our own island, the coal-measures are more or less covered up with beds, consisting of this coarse grit overlaid by clay and limestone, the clay being often remarkably bituminous, and the limestone generally exhibiting the chemical peculiarity already alluded to, containing a certain proportion of carbonate of magnesia, mixed with the carbonate of lime. In the east of Europe, however, and more especially in Russia, this series is exhibited in its greatest completeness. It is there found occupying a hollow or troughlike depression in the carboniferous strata, and is said to extend for a distance of nearly seven hundred miles from north to south, and for four hundred miles between the Ural chain and the river Volga, in the ancient kingdom of Permia, now included within the vast compass of the Russian empire. In this tract conglomerates and grit-stones, with magnesian and other limestones, make up the series, and contain fossils identical with those common in Durham and the neighbourhood of Bristol. Over the whole of Europe, therefore, similar causes seem to have acted in producing this series of magnesian strata at the close of the carboniferous period; and a dreary waste of sandy unproductive beds seems to mark the disappearance of land clothed with vegetation, and the gradual deepening of the sea, which at first received rolled and pounded fragments of rock, carried out to a distance in the form of sand, until afterwards, the land diminishing and disappearing, even this small supply ceased, and scarcely any deposit or any fragment of organic existence was retained, in consequence of the absence of material in which it could be buried and preserved.
The nature of the remains of fishes found in the magnesian limestone rocks indicates also a diminution in the size of the prevailing species, perhaps arising from the gradual diminution and increasing distance of the land, and the deepening of the sea in the district where such remains occur.
The reptilian fishes remain indeed, but they also become small: those of the shark tribe are few, and exhibit some peculiarities of structure, but are comparatively unimportant; and the rest were chiefly the bad and slow swimmers, or bottom fish, living on offal and on the invertebrated groups.
But a time of much greater change was approaching a time of disturbance, which should shake to their foundations all the solid and massive rocks that had been then deposited; and of subterranean movements, which in their course should break asunder the hardest and the strongest among these rocks; crushing and grinding into small fragments whole strata that had become compact and closely consolidated, and crumpling into complicated folds the toughest and most unyielding beds, as if they had been layers of some soft material carelessly squeezed in the grasp of a powerful hand.
It is indeed impossible for words to express the complication of disturbance, or the amount of confusion, that has been produced in some districts by forces acting on the solid crust of the globe, between the close of what we have called the first epoch, and the commencement of the second; and yet all this was done with a certain degree of order, and doubtless occupied a long period of time. Volcanic eruptions have taken place in some districts, and their effect is seen in tor
rents of ancient lava, heaps of erupted ashes, and rocks chemically changed by the intrusion of heated vapours charged with gases. In others, enormous cracks extending for many hundred yards, or even for miles together, may be traced in the more brittle rocks; and the rocks themselves have been burnt as in a furnace by the boiling and bubbling mass of molten lava which has been poured from beneath into such wide fissures. Sometimes extensive tracts, where the rocks are thinner and tougher, have exhibited these cracks in systems of hundreds in number parallel to one another; while here and there the intense fiery action from beneath has thrown up the surface into blisters and domes, which are often fractured at the top, and thus reveal the history of their elevation. Still more frequently, also, the irresistible subterranean force has snapped asunder the strata, as a violent blow would pierce through a few folds of paper, and one side of the broken bed has been lifted high in the air, or has sunk into a deep hollow beneath. And if, as happened occasionally, the force was not sufficiently energetic to break up in this way the whole group of overlying matter, it might yet effect a no less striking result, raising up the strata upon a line or on a point, and producing a saddle-shaped or a dome-like elevation, according to the circumstances of the case.
All these effects, and all of them on the grandest scale, were produced in some way or other upon many of the old rocks towards the close of the first epoch of creation; and every Geologist, familiar with the structure of our own island, could readily point to abundant examples of each particular disturbance above alluded to. Every coal-field is so split asunder and broken into
small fragments by what are called 'faults,' (cracks and consequent disturbances of the strata,) that they alone might be appealed to as sufficient proof; and, indeed, the very appearance of the smaller coal-fields of the middle of England, lifted as they are far above the great expanse of the new red sandstone, is due solely to these under-ground movements, which have borne to the surface portions of the carboniferous and lower strata, that would otherwise have been hidden.
It is not unlikely that much of the general contour of the high ground of England and many parts of northern Europe was originally marked out during the restless disturbances of this interval of violence. The districts occupied by the mountain limestone and the older rocks, at least, have probably in later times been disturbed only by movements affecting the general level of large tracts; and there cannot be a question as to the intensity and continuance of the forces acting beneath the surface at that time having been then much greater than any that have since affected that portion of the earth's crust exposed for investigation in our own island.
These remarks apply chiefly to the physical geography and geology of England, but they also describe with very little modification a large proportion of all those tracts in which the carboniferous and older rocks appear. Exceptions, it is true, are not wanting; and a very interesting one is met with in Russia, where various rocks of this first epoch stretch over a vast extent of country, and seem to have been little disturbed, except by exceedingly slow movements of elevation, since they were originally deposited. We shall find hereafter, that, on the one hand, similar


In a blog I wrote this week, I referenced a study indicating that only 19 % of companies surveyed had a social media policy in place. Obviously, that leaves 81% of the companies out there with NO social media policy in place. So, given what's currently going on in the social media space… there's obviously a need for companies to step up and create effective social media policies and procedures, not like the one getting most of the press lately…. A financial institution's social media policy which basically translates into "rat on your friends or be fired," (which is generally being referred to online as the worst social media policy ever created) but practical, common sense, easy to understand and interpret social media policies and procedures for employees to follow. I was reading a BusinessWeek interview online the other day and thought it tied in nicely to the conversation.


If you're new to memory foam mattresses and you've been having a look through some of the reviews I have for you on my website, I can forgive you for not quite understanding what different types there are and what benefits they offer.
Since I'm all about making sure you find the right mattress for you (and at the right price), I thought it would be a good idea to add some short and to the point information about the types of memory foam you will come across.
So, let's start with the best known.
This type first started to take hold of the market in the mid 1990's and for good reason. Unlike a spring mattress, traditional memory foam has been designed so your body is cradled while you sleep. What this does is helps to increase blood circulation and reduces the amount of stress you get on various joints across the body while you sleep.
Motion transfer is something else to think about. If you sleep next to someone who is constantly tossing and turning (or indeed, if you are that person), traditional memory foam will stop this from happening. Lastly, a traditional memory foam mattress will last much longer than a spring type because of the materials used and the way it's constructed.
One of the biggest complaints about memory foam mattresses is the amount of heat they can produce. This is because lots of models have been designed so they react to your body temperature. When this happens, the material softens which is why you get such great support from them. In fact, you could say it's a little like sleeping on air.
Manufacturers have listened to their customers, and you can now buy air cool memory foam. If you opt for a mattress that includes this technology, it will respond to your body temperature much quicker and will channel the warmth out. This eliminates the issue with additional heat and makes for a cooler night's sleep.
Some models also use what's called open cell technology which helps to distribute heat more evenly.
The 12″ LUCID® by Linenspa I have reviewed here is a perfect example of this type of technology.
If you're interested in seeing an example of this, take a look at my review on the Ultimate Dreams 13″ Gel Memory Foam Mattress.

The purpose of this topical life history was to gain insight into the individual and socializing conditions that influenced an experienced elementary school physical education teacher's perceptions and actions regarding continued professional learning. The teacher was interviewed in a series of five interviews over a 3-year period. The audiotaped transcriptions were subjected to the constant comparison data analysis technique, with the emergent patterns reported as results. Continued professional learning was valued as an essential concept associated with being a professional because it ultimately increased the teacher's potential for helping students learn. Professional development experiences associated with the teacher's undergraduate professional preparation institution and participation in a national curriculum project contributed most significantly to the teacher's continued professional learning. The teacher's continued professional learning was influenced by (a) students, (b) status, (c) administrative support, (d) community perceptions of sport, and (e) personal/professional interactions.

People from our community: interview with Vinícius Galhard Grassi, leader of polymer research (Brazil) at Braskem.
Posted on Thursday 30 de March de 2017 by Verónica Savignano
Only 8.5% of those who received their doctorates in Brazil work in companies, according to CGEE study data released last year. Vinícius Galhard Grassi, from Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, belongs to this minority group. At 38 years of age, Grassi has accumulated 16 years of research and development (R&D) experience in the business environment, always in the field of polymers, working in all phases of the innovation process, from product design to its marketplace consolidation.
Vinícius Grassi graduated in Industrial Chemistry from the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM) in 1999. In 2000 he started his master's degree in Materials Science at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). In 2001 he was hired by Innova to work as a polymer chemist at the unit located in the petrochemical complex of Triunfo (Rio Grande do Sul state). In 2002, he received a master's degree from UFRGS with his dissertation defense on the chemical resistance of high-impact polystyrene, a work that originated many new products for Innova. Between 2010 and 2013, still working in the company, he concluded his doctorate in Chemistry, which started at UFRGS and finished at the Max Planck Institute for Polymers Research (Germany). In the doctorate, he developed research work related to obtaining and characterizing a polymeric material that mixes polymers made with renewable raw materials and fossils.
In early 2014, after having worked for 13 years at Innova, mainly with styrene polymers, Grassi joined Braskem (the largest producer of thermoplastic resins in the Americas) as R&D project coordinator. In November of 2015, he lead a group of researchers committed to the advanced characterization of materials in the company. Since May 2016, he has been the leader of polymer research at Braskem in Brazil, working with polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
In addition to developing, with his collaborators, a series of products for Innova and Braskem (see interview), Vinícius Grassi is the author of 8 articles published in indexed journals and has 9 patent applications (one deposited in the United States). Two of these patents received awards by Petrobras and the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim).
The researcher was interviewed by SBPMat, as follows.
SBPMat Bulletin: Tell us what led you to study Chemistry and Materials and to work in R&D in the business world.
Vinícius Galhard Grassi: It was my interest and pleasure in studying chemistry, certainly brought about by good teachers in high school. Ever since my university years I was interested in polymers, but I graduated from an university (UFSM) that offered only one discipline in polymers, an elective course. I decided to pursue a Master's degree in Materials Engineering at UFRGS to deepen my understanding of polymers, and since the beginning I wanted to focus on a topic of interest in the industry. It is a challenge to conduct R&D in the business environment to put science into practice in order to generate a better life for people and for society as a whole, while generating profits for companies. It also allows developing some skills that are representative of the business environment and which are reflected in our own personal life.
SBPMat Bulletin: You did your doctorate while working at Innova. Did you develop any work of interest for the company? If so, did it turn into an innovation?
Vinícius Galhard Grassi: Yes, I started and concluded it while working at Innova, it was a topic of interest for the company but with high scientific content. The doctorate (started at UFRGS and completed at Max Planck for Polymer Research in Germany) generated a patent that has not yet been commercially exploited, as it needs continued scale up efforts.
SBPMat Bulletin: What do you believe to be your most important R&D achievements in Materials? We would like you to go beyond listing the results and briefly describe those works, telling us if they became innovations, as well as how they impacted the market.
Vinícius Galhard Grassi: The master's work generated a new family of products for Innova, which represents the company's highly significant turnover, which is protected by a patent already granted. These products are particularly present in refrigerators produced in Brazil. At Braskem I lead the Polymer Research area in Brazil, and the team's main recent results were the launching of proprietary technology related to produce PP foam grids, launched at the K-Fair in 2016 in Germany (the largest plastics fair in the world), which are already being marketed in Brazil and in the USA. The products fulfill applications from leading automobile manufacturers, as well as other industrial applications. This team also developed the EVA Rubber technology, which is now used in various types of footwear, providing lightness, durability and comfort, bringing competitiveness to the Brazilian industry, as well as a production process of soles with low energy consumption and waste generation. That is, sustainability gains for the supply chain.
SBPMat Bulletin: What were the main challenges or difficulties you encountered in your R&D work in companies?
Vinícius Galhard Grassi: There are several critical moments during a R&D project. 1) Select the best ideas in terms of market potential, and that are patentable (for instance research projects). It is of no use putting resources into bad ideas. 2) Generate consistent results in a flexible manner, with scientifically well-grounded basis, allocating the right resources and competencies. If it is to fail, let it be quick, but obviously be persistent when you really believe in the project. 3) Scaling up: I believe this is the critical step, many projects fail during the scaling up process because small details become significant when the scale is larger. This step is only justified when a client is really interested in the project, since resource and investment allocations are usually considerable.
SBPMat Bulletin: You are coauthor/author of articles and patents. Tell us what the articles and patents mean to you in the context of working in companies.
Vinícius Galhard Grassi: The articles strengthen the scientific vein and represent the individual contribution to the progress of science by sharing knowledge. And patents are valuable assets the researcher creates for the company. It empowers the company to own a technology and strengthens its technology strategy.
SBPMat Bulletin: Leave a message to the young audience in the Materials community who wish to work with R&D in the business environment.
Vinícius Galhard Grassi: As with everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages to working with R&D in the business world. There is constant pressure for deadlines and results, it is part of everyday life. But this creates a sense of urgency and focus on what is a priority and therefore creates value. The pleasure of seeing a technology being scaled up and reaching the market is incredible and justifies all the effort. And one gets to know and interact with many competent people, who teach you and make you grow as a professional, which reflects back on your personal life. In particular at Braskem, it is a unique opportunity for growth. The environment there is very fertile, if the seed is good and well treated, it really grows!

Hope-Calvin rivalry game thrills to final moments
Miles Pruitt
Another edition of the Hope vs. Calvin rivalry game, number 199, came down to some intense final seconds. The Flying Dutchmen fought back valiantly from game-long deficits against the Knights on Wednesday night in Van Noord Arena. After working from behind the entire game, Hope cut Calvin's lead to one point in the final seconds.
The Flying Dutchmen just could not find the gas to sneak ahead and were edged out by the Knights, 74-70. Overall, Hope leads The Rivalry series 103- 96. The 200th Hope vs. Calvin rivalry game will be played at DeVos Fieldhouse on Saturday, February 2. One of the students attending the game was Andrew VandeBunte ('19), who remarked that "it's awesome to see how big the rivalry can get between two smaller-sized colleges. There aren't many rivalries in the country that can match the energy of Hope and Calvin. It is always fun to be in that kind of atmosphere, especially as a student cheering in the student section. It's crazy to think this was already the 199th game for the rivalry and how close the all-time series stands. I've probably been to over 30 Hope vs. Calvin games in my life, and there is no doubt I'll be there for the 200th meeting at DeVos Fieldhouse." In the second half, the Knights took their lead to double digits again.
In the last minute of the game, the Flying Dutchmen made their deepest cut into Calvin's lead thanks to junior guard Riley Lewis. He scored the last seven points for Hope in under a minute by sinking a pull-up jumper to move the Flying Dutchmen within two points with 56 seconds to go. The game ended with multiple trips to the free-throw line for the Knights; they made three of their last four free throws in the closing seconds, despite Hope's attempts to force a miss and have a shot to take the lead. Despite the loss, Hope fought valiantly, and they will get another shot at Calvin on February 2. Their next matchup will be big as Hope will attempt to attone for their close setback.

Welcome to the 1-2-Writing Blog!


So we're pleased to present the forty-third in our series of Saturday matinees today: Elliott Erwitt, Photographer.
A mere 22 minutes with hilarious Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt will leave you begging for more. Especially if you like dogs.
Erwitt likes dogs. They don't object to being photographed and they don't ask for prints, he explains.
And his dog photos are funny. Especially considering the human company they keep. Which is apparently appreciated by other members of the species. Erwitt's Dog Dogs has sold over 300,000 copies.
He moves quickly in this short film. Next up are the beach pictures, a tough subject he solves with marvelous compositions, before moving on to his more general pictures. He calls them pictures, not photographs.
We called him hilarious but he's not outrageous. He's deadpan. The straight man to his photographs. The pictures are hilarious. He's just funny.
A particularly unattractive image of a room comes up. "Some years ago," he explains, "I did a story on bad taste. [laughter] This is a room in Miami Beach." More laughter.
Then on to the architecture shots with a baddabing. They too have their humor, of course. The shutters, for example, papered with brick wallpaper to match the outside of the building. Why was that a good idea?
And the portraits of celebrities going back to Harry Truman will have you hitting the Pause button. Among them is Nikon pointing his finger into Krushchev's chest, an image Nixon used without authorization, Erwitt adds without joking. Why does that not surprise us?
His portrait of Andy Warhol includes Erwitt's daughter. "Grace Jones was supposed to be sitting next to him but she was late. So I just used my daughter instead." Warhol doesn't seem to mind at all.
His portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Jack Kerouac are particular affecting. Monroe seems to be in the audience, not on the screen. Kerouac is shot from below sitting in a chair, a monumental pose in the dark.
His images of people looking at art in museums will have you rolling on the floor.
Then he movies into his sets of images, what he calls sequences. These sets of three or four pictures quickly tell a story, the last image often a punch line.
But just a single image can carry a punch line with Erwitt. A bride in her veil stands next to a covered car, for example. His nudes (he recommends shooting at nudist camps) are pretty funny, too.
"Oh my goodness, I didn't know I had so many," he laments as the audience interrupts one laugh with another as he flashes more quickly through his slide show.
You'll be begging, as we said, for more. When you catch your breath. So we dug up a little question-and-answer session with Erwitt to close this matinee. It has the advantage of displaying printed questions (which had been emailed) rather than passing a microphone around.
You won't be surprised that he thinks the digital age makes it all too easy. But he's no curmudgeon. By the time he finishes reflecting on the digital age, you'll be laughing.
He's not done yet. His best picture, he says several times, is the one he hasn't taken yet. We're looking forward to it.
