Two years ago after being made redundant - I picked up a paintbrush and did a weekend course - and never looked back! My life has never been the same since :)
Kandinsky - his whole new rhythmic perspective on seeing the world through shapes, angles and music - such beauty...
Ooh, a tough one! Mexico: the history, food, buildings, colours - and general location - perfect inspiration for a new series of work!
(Pew officially announced that 2004 just wasn”t one, 2005 got lost in the shuffle and everyone seemed to tacitly agree that 2009 didn’t qualify.) But, as a result of Tuesday’s elections, 2012 does, even exceeding the Mother of All Years of the Woman to date, 1992. The 113th Congress will include the highest number of women senators ever: 20. That is three more than before Tuesday.
“We have shown growth in year over year cash flows throughout the first half and expect those trends will continue. We believe the foundation of the Las Vegas recovery is solid and our business is building,” Murren said in a statement. “MGM Macau had another record quarter and the acquisition of a controlling interest in MGM China marks an important step in expanding our global operations and profitability.”.
Originally. Well you know I think doubled to is it is a great you know I think it represents unity ingenuity creativity. General Motors in the united states what exactly we can do because it’s the only. The government does not tolerate dissent. It targets dissenters by directing militants from the CP, the Communist Youth League, Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, the Federation of Cuban Women, the Association of Veterans of the Cuban Revolution, and other groups to stage a public protest against the dissenter, usually in front of his/her house. These protests, called “acts of repudiation,” involve the shouting of insults and the occasional use of violence.
I could feel the excitement building. This is it. I only need to kill this last one and I’ve done it. 1956) oozes midcentury cool catness. The decor swizzles Palm Springs pop with Prairie style earthiness. (The original architect, Edward L. Led by Pele, Brazil’s 1970 national team was one of the greatest World Cup teams in the history of the tournament. They played Italy in the final match of the tournament. It was one of the most highly anticipated football matches in years.
Even after the county legislature had voted in favor of renovating, rather than demolishing, the Paul Rudolph-designed Orange County Government Center in Goshen, NY, there were those who believed that the rescue of this distinctive building was still not a done deal.
[County Executive Ed] Diana‘s Public Works Department has since broadened the design scope to encompass three potential plans, including a scaled-back concept Diana embraced after losing his bid for an entirely new complex last year. His fallback plan is to renovate the court section of the Government Center and tear down and replace the rest of it [emphasis added].
Democrats, who have supported renovations [my link, not his] over new construction, are fuming about the reopening of a debate they thought had ended.
The World Monuments Fund, which had put the OCGC on its 2012 Watch List of endangered buildings and sites and had dispatched a representative to testify at a county legislature hearing in Goshen, was lulled into complacency by the anti-demolition vote and reported this on its website:
An 18-month-long campaign to save the building ended in February 2013 when legislators in Orange County voted to authorize $10 million to begin restoration.
The ending of that campaign now seems premature. It’s time for the WMF and local advocates of preservation and cost effectiveness to reactivate their demolition opposition and reenergize the online petition that had collected more than 2,000 signatures to save the Rudolph, which the WMF described as one of Brutalist American architect‘s “greatest achievements.”

Room treatments - lot's of work - hard to judge results. Bass sounds cleaner, but the room still has a 'too much bass' quality. To check it, I ran through the mp3 frequency files from Ethan Winer. There is a big hump from 55 to 65 hertz. If the emphasis was at a lower frequency it wouldn't be so important, but a 12-string tuned low starts in the 60 cycle range. Just to be sure it wasn't the speaker or the amplifier, I moved the speaker outside - and heard no hump in that range. Haul the speaker back inside, and sure enough, the hump sounds like it's shaking the room!
I placed the panels where I think they should go, The four corners are filled vertically with 4 inch thicknesses, and the front corners also have a piece of two inch 703 at the top. There are two 'clouds' - panels positioned above the monitor area and the recording area to block the ceiling reflections. We haven't covered most of the panels with burlap yet. I wanted to make sure they were in the correct positions.
It's time to do some more reading. Trapping sounds below 100 hertz is supposed to be difficult. Jeez, I hope I don't have to buy more panels! Maybe some more cats, like the one sleeping in front of the panel here.
