Office is a San Francisco-based creative studio that crafts strategies and designs experiences to make things better.
Our Beliefs
What We Do
We work with leading brands and emerging businesses to clarify their stories and create meaningful experiences that matter to people. This includes brand strategy, visual identities, packaging, advertising, digital experiences, communications and environments. We don't have a singular, proprietary process; we adapt to the unique needs, work processes and internal cultures of each client. But we find the most successful (and fun) relationships are truly collaborative. And the very best work is created together. In 2014, Office was awarded the Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt National Design Award to honor lasting achievement in American design and recognize excellence, innovation and enhancement of the quality of life. The Office team was honored by First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House.

Some of our partners, past and present, include:

There are two distinct lending arms or agencies of the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA); the disaster arm and the traditional or regular arm. If a disaster occurs, a geographic region will be declared a disaster at the presidential level, for a specified period of time. An SBA regional disaster team will set up offices within the affirmed disaster zone and directly offer low-interest, long-term loans for physical and economic damage caused by a disaster. The disaster loans will solely be available within the affected region and only during the specified time period.
The four major types of SBA disaster loans are:
1) Home and Personal Property Loans – covers damage to your home or private property. You may be eligible for financial assistance from the SBA – even if you do not own a business. As a homeowner, renter and/or personal property owner, you may apply to the SBA for a loan to help you recover from a disaster.
2) Business Physical Disaster Loans – if you have experienced damage to your business, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the SBA. These loans cover losses not fully covered by your insurance. Businesses of any size and most private nonprofit organizations may apply to the SBA for a loan to recover after a disaster. SBA makes physical disaster loans of up to $2 million to qualified businesses or most private nonprofit organizations. The loan proceeds may be used for the repair or replacement of real property, machinery, equipment, fixtures, inventory, and leasehold improvements.
3) Economic Injury Disaster Loans – applies if you have suffered substantial economic injury and are a small business, a small agricultural cooperative, or a private nonprofit organization. These loans are only available when SBA determines the applicant is unable to obtain credit elsewhere.
4) The Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loan – provides funds to help an eligible small business meet its ordinary and necessary operating expenses that it could have met, but is unable to, because an essential employee was called-up to active duty in his or her role as a military reservist.
Traditional SBA Loans
Unlike SBA disaster loans, traditional SBA loans are not funded directly from the SBA. They are, instead, originated by any number of SBA-approved lenders and then guaranteed or backed by the SBA. The loan process starts with a sanctioned SBA lender. This means that you do not apply directly to the SBA for a traditional SBA loan.
Applying for a traditional SBA guaranteed loan initially involves submitting a business plan with financial projections, tax returns for three years (personal and business), loan application, and a personal financial statement. Once these items have been submitted, the SBA approved lender will review the tendered items and make one of three findings:
A) Yes, they can lend you the money. This means that your application was strong enough to secure the financing without an SBA backing or guarantee.
B) No, they cannot lend you the money. This signifies that the lender is unable or unwilling to fund the loan even with the SBA providing a guarantee.
C) They might be able to lend you the money. In this situation, the lender is indicating that they are interested in funding the loan but probably want to pursue an SBA guarantee. The guarantee provides additional insurance on the loan, on behalf of the lender, if the borrower defaults.
Traditional SBA loans predominantly fall into the following categories:
1) SBA 7(a) loans – can be used for most business purposes. These may include buying real estate, construction, renovation or leasehold improvements; buying furniture, fixtures, machinery, and equipment; buying inventory; and working capital. The specific terms of SBA loans are negotiated between a borrower and an SBA-approved lender.
2) SBA 504 loans – similar to SBA 7(a) loans and can be used for buying real estate, leasehold improvements or for the construction, renovation of a building; and/or for buying machinery and equipment. The 504 loan program offers borrowers a fixed rate for 10 or 20 years, with lower fees than the 7(a) program, and often a lower down payment of 10%.
3) SBA Micro-loans – provides business and certain non-profits with loans up to $50,000. These loans are generally short in duration (six years or less) and charge a higher interest rate than the 7(a) or 504 loans.

I am using the latest version on Mediacode iPhone Edition. I just downloaded the version on your website today (07/11/2012). I cannot check the version because of the problem described below:
I put some files to the queue and start coding. I minimize the main window and also minimize the small window with the video preview. I leave the program like that until the coding finishes.
After this I cannot restore the main window. Even if I close the program using the tray icon and restarted I can only see the tray icon and nothing else. The "Show Interface" on the tray menu does not help either. I had to re-install the app to make the window visible again.
I am using Windows 7.
Unable to restore window once coding completes minimzed

On February 1st, I had knee replacement surgery. Finally! I am sure that by spring I'll be out chasing ancestors once again.
The surgery went well, except for my allergies to pain killing meds. It was quickly decided that I would just take a combination of tylenol and bite the bullet. The second day I asked for my old knee back and was told that it had been cremated. Maybe they thought I was going to bury it and place a marker on the grave!
The following three days were filled with physical therapy which I thought was grueling, but knew it was necessary. When I wasn't exercising or biting the bullet, I was using my iPod Touch in my hospital bed ... looking at genealogy files. Unfortunately the hospital does not have WIFI. Feeling rather punk one night, I received a phone call from Girl #2. At the end of our conversation she said, "I love you #1." I replied "I love you #2." Strange! Sister-in-laws who are so opposite and yet are joined at the hip in our love of genealogy.
Now it has been almost three weeks since my surgery. I am walking off and on without a cane and realizing it is a good thing they cremated my knee. This one is strong and I know it will take me to cemeteries, courthouses and libraries.
In the meantime I am navigating between my laptop computer in the living room by my recliner and the main computer in my genealogy room. It is a stand-off at times with the main computer as my granddaughter is often using it. The iPod Touch is still wonderful for the e-mails and browsing my genealogy files. At night when I am biting that bullet, it is great for soothing me with good music.
I have filled my time locating information on Internet, particularly digital images. What fun to settle back, watch it snow (yes, again!) and find genealogy information at my finger tips. That's when I stretch the knee and pretend I'm getting ready to visit a cemetery. Spring will eventually come and spring will be back in my step.
As you can see, genealogy goes with me anywhere, even to the hospital. I am never without it. Now I'm anxious for better weather, better walking so #2 and I can be back together to enjoy our companionship and love of genealogy.

From the late 1940s until the early 1970s, the greatest music acts in the world were seen by millions of viewers of all ages each Sunday night on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Now, the MY MUSIC series presents a special of classic song performances spanning the years 1963-1968 in ED SULLIVAN'S ROCK AND ROLL CLASSICS: THE 60s, part of special programming airing on witf on March 15 at 7 p.m.
From the Beatles' American television debut in 1964 to the Doors' infamous one-time-only appearance, "The Ed Sullivan Show" served up an unparalleled roster of timeless artists.
ED SULLIVAN'S ROCK AND ROLL CLASSICS focuses exclusively on full-length music performances — no plate spinners or dancing elephants — that evoke the spirit of that decade's youth movement, including its connection to San Francisco and the summer of love and peace.
The Beatles kick things off with their million-selling #1 chart debut "I Want to Hold Your Hand," followed by another John-Paul-George-Ringo smash, "She Loves You." Other featured British Invasion icons are the Rolling Stones ("[I Can't Get No] Satisfaction"), Gerry & the Pacemakers ("Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying"), the Animals ("We Gotta Get Out of This Place"), Herman's Hermits ("Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter") and Petula Clark with her Grammy-winning evergreen "Downtown."
More vocal group greats who sing top hits of the decade include the Beach Boys with a pair of their gold records, "I Get Around" and "Good Vibrations," and Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons with their chart topper from 1962, "Big Girls Don't Cry." ED SULLIVAN'S ROCK AND ROLL CLASSICS: THE 60s remembers the Mamas & the Papas, who bridged the generation gap with their soaring harmonies, with their unforgettable anthem "California Dreamin'" and its follow-up, "Monday, Monday."
The program includes a joyful batch of "groovy sounds" represented by such beloved ensembles as the Turtles ("Happy Together"), the Young Rascals ("Groovin'," "Good Lovin'") and the Supremes ("You Can't Hurry Love"), all #1 favorites still played on the radio today.
The 60s were also a time of psychedelic sounds, most famously immortalized by Jim Morrison and the Doors with their 1967 masterpiece "Light My Fire." "Crimson & Clover" by Tommy James is another era-defining hit. Sly & the Family Stone sing their groundbreaking hits "Everyday People" and "Dance to the Music," bringing racial equality to rock music.

Kayla Bowyer, who was paired with a mentor through Amachi Pittsburgh because her mother was incarcerated, now works for the organization.
When she was a baby, Kayla Bowyer of Pittsburgh was adopted by her grandparents because her mother was in and out of Allegheny County Jail.
Her grandfather died when she was 10 and her 'Grams' had to go to work to support Bowyer, her younger brother and three cousins. Though the presence of adults in her home changed, she was not alone.
In 2004, she and her brother were matched with Yolanda and Ron Bennett through Amachi Pittsburgh, a nonprofit organization that pairs mentors with children of an incarcerated parent.
"Our mentors were husband and wife. And so sometimes … we would all be together. It was kind of like a second family," said Bowyer, now 24.
An estimated 1.7 million children in the country have a parent in prison, according to a new report from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Millions more may have a parent in county jail.
In Pennsylvania, about 81,100 children have a parent in state prison, according to the latest data from the state's Department of Corrections. Those numbers do not include children with parents in federal prisons or county jails.
Some experts said the children of incarcerated parents are often shunned or bullied.
"You should care about the needs of these kids, because you care about the needs of all children," wrote Judge Kim Berkeley Clark of the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court in an email. "The children don't have a say in who their parents are or where their parents are."
Bowyer pointed out that children of incarcerated parents are -- and are not -- like other kids. "They're facing a very unique problem," said Bowyer, who now works for Amachi Pittsburgh, the organization that brought the Bennetts into her life.
"If we can match them with a mentor, they can sort of look to their mentor as additional support, and not necessarily as a replacement for their parent."
Some groups of children are more likely than others to have a parent in prison.
"African-American youth are more than seven times as likely as White youth and nearly three times as likely as Hispanic youth to have a parent in prison," the report said.
Children of an incarcerated parent, in general, suffer higher risks of coping with depression, substance abuse, anxiety and behavioral problems at home or at school.
Clark said she routinely sees evidence in the courtroom of many of the challenges these children face. She detailed them in an email:
● Navigating the stigma or shame of having an incarcerated parent.
● Handling anxiety and fear about whether the parent is safe.
● Struggling with not being able to touch or see the parent regularly.
● Maintaining a relationship with an absent parent.
Clark is the chairwoman of Dependent Children of Incarcerated Parents Workgroup, an initiative of the Pennsylvania State Roundtable.
'He's my dad'
Dyllon Varner, right, 15, and his mentor Adam Matz.
Dyllon Varner, 15, lives with his mom in Munhall, a borough in Allegheny County, because his dad is in prison. (Amachi Pittsburgh declined to disclose the crimes for which the parents of children in the program were serving sentences.)
On a recent Monday, Dyllon and his mentor, Adam Matz, went on the Monongahela Incline in Pittsburgh, a cable-railway car that climbs the steep slope of Mount Washington on tracks.
"What do you think of the ride?" Matz asked as they waited for the car to begin its descent.
"It's awesome," Dyllon said.
The two have been getting to know each other for about three months, Matz said. Together they planned a list of activities. Now, they can check off their list riding the incline.
Dyllon likes to draw, skateboard and snowboard. At his job, he mixes pizza dough from scratch. Among his favorite things to do: Hanging out with his friends in Munhall, just like any ninth grader.
He takes a moment before answering a question about his dad.
"There's not really much to say," Dyllon said. "He's my dad. I love him. I miss him, but I don't really know the kind of guy he is." Dyllon and his dad exchange letters and talk on the telephone; the last time he saw his dad was when he was about 8.
Instilling trust
In the northeastern part of the state, between 25 and 30 percent of the 218 children currently enrolled in the Scranton-based Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Wayne and Pike Counties have at least one incarcerated parent, said Cynthia Beeman, the program director.
For the children, there is a stigma attached to having a parent behind bars — if they know, she said.
"There are a lot of them where the parents haven't told them the other parent is incarcerated. Many times … they tell them they are on vacation or they are not able to come home," Beeman said.
"Sometimes, the children figure it out on their own and then it's kind of a dirty little secret: 'I can't tell anybody because I'm not supposed to know.' It creates a lot of stress in a child's life."
Their problems don't end when the parents return. They could continue to have difficulty mending a broken bond between family members. "There's an adjustment period in terms of how they're treated in the community and still having difficulties in the family," said Tanya Olaviany, program director of Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of the Bridge, a Wilkes-Barre-based program of Catholic Social Services of the Diocese of Scranton.
"A lot of it depends on the type of support they have."
A strong support system can be made up of trusted guardians, family members or community volunteers.
Programs, such as BBBS, geared toward helping troubled youth, don't aim to simply occupy their time, Olaviany said.
The one-on-one relationships offer children a person they can talk with about their struggles. Then, they feel there are people they can rely on.
Some killed in prison
Bowyer said she never pretends to know everything kids like Dyllon or the about 100 others involved in Amachi Pittsburgh are going through. Each child's situation is unique.
"I was lucky enough to have my mother return," she said. "Some kids in our program are not that lucky. Some parents are serving life sentences. Some parents are killed in prison."
Still, Bowyer said she knew some people looked at her mother just as a criminal.
"But she was still my mother, she said. "So I looked at her as a great person," Bowyer said. "It's kind of hard to explain."
Bowyer said working for Amachi Pittsburgh, a faith-based organization that is part of a national program that started in Philadelphia, is one of the best things that has happened to her.
And her mentor, Yolanda Bennett — who Bowyer described as a funny, relatable person who never tried to "take the place" of her mother — was equally happy to hear where Bowyer now works.
The Bennetts moved from the North Side of Pittsburgh to Virginia. But distance hasn't dampened their relationship with Bowyer.
"I love Kayla," said Yolanda Bennett. "She is the most wonderful, bright young lady that I've ever met."

Arthritis is a chronic disease
Heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, arthritis - you or someone you know probably has experience with a chronic disease, which is why they're now considered the leading health concern of the nation.
The number of people living with chronic disease is growing. An estimated 133 million Americans –nearly half the population – suffer from at least one chronic disease. That's 15 million more than just a decade ago – and the number is only expected to grow.

The Mavericks are back. The country-steeped garage band with a Cuban-American lead singer that emerged from Miami in 1989 with a sultry debut that was equal parts innocence, intensity and vintage influences has reunited after an eight-year hiatus. Time has a way of melting away when you're busy living life — and two decades have passed since their polyrhythmic brand of post-modern country gave the world "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down," "Here Comes the Rain" and "Dance the Night Away." Now the "most interesting band in the world" has captured the infectious energy and robust sound from their live shows in THE MAVERICKS: IN TIME, part of special programming premiering on witf on March 7 at 8:30 p.m. and March 9 at 10 p.m.,
With their new album and PBS special, time melts once again, and the band that defied definitions, blurred genres and made everybody feel good is back. Songs like the Orbison-esque "Born to Be Blue," the horn-punctuated retro noir "Back in Your Arms Again" and the Tejano-esque "All Over Again" show that the Mavericks have once again found the way to make genre-defying soul music.
For Raul Malo, the lead singer with the rich, supple voice that's second only to Roy Orbison in its ability to convey lonesomeness, desire and vivre, drummer Paul Deakin, multi-instrumentalist Robert Reynolds, longtime collaborator keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden and seasoned guitarist Eddie Perez, life has become richer in terms of experience, playing acumen and a sense of their own musicality. It has also deepened the connection between them in a way that heightens the singular chemistry that made the Grammy-winning band one of the most exciting live acts in any musical genre.
"Maybe the space has given us a sense not of how it can happen, but what can happen when we come together," says Deakin. "Because when you get Raul, Robert, Eddie, Jerry Dale and me in a room together, there's definitely something that's magical."
THE MAVERICKS: IN TIME draws from a multitude of influences — from Dean Martin to the Sir Douglas Quintet, from Hank Williams and Ray Price to tangos, polkas and Ravel's "Bolero." Or, as Perez laughs, "It's so many genres … if you had to call it something, I guess it would have to be 'inclusive.'"

DPW Secretary Bev Mackereth on Smart Talk
(Harrisburg) -- The head of the state Department of Public Welfare is optimistic the federal government will approve the Commonwealth's recently-submitted Medicaid waiver application.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has already granted similar Medicaid waivers in Iowa, Michigan and Arkansas. But if Pennsylvania's application is approved, it would mark the first time a state has ever tied a work search requirement to its Medicaid program.
DPW Secretary Bev Mackereth says the program would connect participants with current job openings and employment resources.
"All of the research out there shows that if people are working, their physical health and mental health outcomes are better," she explained on witf's Smart Talk program.
Mackereth says the requirement would only apply to working age adults. Disabled Pennsylvanians, and anyone working more than 20-hours a week, would be exempt.
The so-called "Healthy PA" plan would overhaul the existing Medicaid program while drawing down federal dollars to help create a new "private insurance option" for 500,000 low-income, uninsured Pennsylvanians.
Mackereth says the federal government is advancing the plan into a 30-day public comment period.]]>
Pennsylvania has formally submitted its Medicaid waiver application to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
On Smart Talk on Tuesday, February 27, we discussed Pennsylvania's formal submission of its Medicaid waiver application to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
The so-called Healthy PA plan would create a new private coverage option for an estimated 500,000 low-income Pennsylvanians, who are currently uninsured, while overhauling the existing Medicaid program.
Governor Corbett expects the changes to save the state $125 million, and he's optimistic the feds will approve the waiver by the time a new budget is signed. The new private insurance option would begin January 1, 2015.
Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Secretary Bev Mackereth joined us on Smart Talk to discuss the waiver and would it would mean for low-income Pennsylvanians.
Listen to the episode below:
Employees who participate in biometric screenings and health challenges can save hundreds on health insurance.
To combat rising healthcare costs, the High Companies in Lancaster launched a companywide health management program.
"We started right away with focusing on tobacco. We realized how much tobacco affects health," says Darryl Gordon, VP of Human Resources for High Companies. "We had 423 of our coworkers that used tobacco. Since we started with the program in 2012, we've had 119 that went tobacco free."
Employees who participate in biometric screenings and health challenges can save hundreds on health insurance. Onsite fitness equipment encourages daily exercise. Even the vending machines help employees stay on track.
Take a look:
Two new studies show many of the state's nursing homes are being pushed to the brink of financial collapse.
On Smart Talk on Tuesday, February 25, we discussed two new studies show many of the state's nursing homes are being pushed to the brink of financial collapse.
By the year 2020 one in four Pennsylvanians will be age 60 or older. Two-thirds of nursing home residents are Medicaid patients and the data show unreimbursed Medicaid costs in Pennsylvania will exceed $470 million this fiscal year.
Dr. Stuart Shapiro, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Health Care Association, is one of many sounding the alarm. He and Genesis HealthCare Vice President Paul McGuire joined us on Smart Talk to discuss what Pennsylvania lawmakers can do to help ensure access to quality long-term care in the state.
Listen to the episode below:
If the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses … think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) is neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. As original member Randy Stine comments, "We take the music very seriously; we just don't take ourselves too seriously." In the process, they are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.
STRAIGHT NO CHASER – SONGS OF THE DECADES, filmed live at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is a follow-up to SNC's hit LIVE IN NEW YORK, which premiered on PBS in 2009. The material is a journey through the decades of the pop songbook, including Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," the Four Seasons' "Big Girls Don't Cry," Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Madonna's "Like a Prayer" and Boyz II Men's "End of the Road" — all done with SNC's trademark harmonies and unique charm.
Watch Straight No Chaser on witf TV March 2 at 4 p.m., March 11 at 9:30 p.m., and March 12 at 1 a.m.

A concert celebration of Irish, country, gospel, rock, movie tunes and long-time fan favorites, DANIEL O'DONNELL: STAND BESIDE ME was recorded before a packed house on September 18, 2013 at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts in metro Detroit. The title of the popular singer's 13th special for PBS refers to more than one of the songs he performs, but reflects his belief that fans have been standing beside him throughout his more than ten years on PBS, making his career a success and bringing him to where he is today. Joining Daniel on stage is his six-piece band, back-up vocalists, and longtime singing partner of 26 years, Mary Duff. DANIEL O'DONNELL: STAND BESIDE ME is part of special programming premiering on witf on March 3 at 3:30 p.m.,
The concert is filled with notable classics including the popular 1956 sing-a-long "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be"), introduced in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much starring Doris Day and James Stewart, and Dean Martin's signature song "That's Amore," performed in the 1953 movie The Caddy with Jerry Lewis. Sprinkled in the mix are songs such as "Hey, Mr. Moon," "Flying with Angels," the heart-felt "Our Anniversary," the lively "Erin Tennessee," about a small Irish town in Tennessee, and Marty Robbins' "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation"), just to name a few.
Singing and traveling together since 1988, Daniel, Mary, the band and the vocalists like to relax together during their time off, and as the group gathers center stage, Daniel invites the audience to join the party. The fun begins with the beautiful "My Father's House," written by the band's multi-talented guitar and mandolin player, Kevin Sheerin. Mary Duff performs "Dear God," and accordionist Ronnie Kennedy is on deck next with a polka favorite, "Beer Barrel Polka (Roll Out the Barrel"), "Silver Wings," performed by vocalists Leon McCrum, Rionagh Allen and Nigel Connell and "It's Hard to Be Humble," a funny tune sung by Daniel and guitarist John Staunton, keep the audience going, and the band ends the set with the crowd-pleaser "Blaze of Glory."
Inviting the audience to join him as they have for the past 12 years, Daniel performs a reprise of "Stand Beside Me" as the audience rises to their feet and sings with him. When he asks the audience if they're ready, fans recognize the question as the introduction to the resounding "Rivers of Babylon" and know that the end of the concert is near. It concludes with Daniel's signature hymn of praise, "How Great Thou Art."
During the show, we'll be offering special Daniel O'Donnell themed thank you gifts for your donation to witf.

CULTURE- ART FEATURE- Twisted features: Taking portraits to the extreme
When Stephen Margulies mentioned he was curating an exhibition called "The Mutant Image" at the UVA Art Museum, my adolescent heart leapt. I envisioned a gallery filled with strangely manipulated pieces exploring things monstrous and bizarre, something of an art show equivalent to the 1932 film Freaks.
And there is a little of that. But Margulies' agenda for examining mutation is subtler and more expansive (and, dare I say, more mature). Margulies is interested in mutation at the genetic level– where variations lead to exaggerated features– and also at the creative level, where artists work to define individuality visually.
Black-and-white photographic portraits form the bulk of "The Mutant Image," although Margulies has sprinkled in a few prints, a drawing, and some comic art (plus a dinosaur eye for good measure). Most of the photographers represented, ranging from Weegee to Diane Arbus, turn their lenses to celebrities who are already cultural mutants thanks to their exaggerated identities in the public imagination.
Margulies has arranged the show to allow the pieces to comment on each other, quietly pointing out parallel aspects and artistic strategies. For instance, in the section "Extreme Beauty," George Hurrell's 1933 black-and-white portrait of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. hangs next to Sheila Metzner's 1985 color image of Isabella Rossellini. Both pieces identify their living subjects with inanimate sculptures contained within the same frame.
The images that correspond to what I thought I would find hang in the sections "Humanity" and "Mutant Fusion." Here Joel-Peter Witkin's gorgeous composition, "Bacchus Amelus, New Mexico" presents an armless man, masked and naked, posed among the symbolic trappings of classical Olde World artworks. A painted sky in the background extends to either side of the central figure's shoulder stubs, suggesting celestial wings. Like much of Witkin's work, the image is simultaneously beautiful and intensely disturbing.
The same may be said of Nicholas Nixon's "C.C. Boston," which shows an elderly woman, eyes closed, in profile. Her last wisps of hair are ethereal above a serpentine vein that pulses across her temple. Death is so close that it can almost be touched, and its proximity makes the viewer want to turn away.
The one "monstrous" image in the show is Nancy Burson's "Warhead I," which visually elides photographs of Reagan and Brezhnev, throwing in bits of Mitterand, Deng, and Thatcher. The result looks like a warped Hollywood portrait of Bela Lugosi portraying that most famous of mutants, Dracula.
"The Mutant Image: Photographs, Prints, and Drawings from the Collection," is on view through April 30 at the University of Virginia Art Museum. 155 Rugby Road. 924-3592.

Astros report: Appel signing may come soon
The Astros selected Mark Appel with the No. 1 pick in the draft believing they would have no problem signing the former Stanford righthander.
A week after taking Appel, the Astros are on target to agree to terms with the Houston native.
No deal is imminent, but the Astros could reach an agreement with Appel as soon as next week, and the club doesn't expect negotiations to last more than a few weeks.
Appel said he didn't expect official talks to begin until his graduation from Stanford on Sunday.
The main question with Appel isn't if he will sign but where he will begin his pro career.
The Astros plan to work with the righthander and agent Scott Boras to determine Appel's first placement. His innings workload during his senior season and the Astros' lack of competitiveness this season have the club leaning toward allowing Appel to have a low-pressure start to his pro career.
Paredes adjusts to big leagues
Jimmy Paredes, 22, returned to the starting lineup Friday with Chicago White Sox lefthander Chris Sale on the mound.
The righthanded-hitting Paredes entered the contest batting just .198 with a .534 on-base plus slugging percentage and had struck out 29 times in 81 at-bats. He went 0-for-3 with two more strikeouts on Friday.
The right fielder acknowledged he was struggling at the plate and was trying to adjust to how major league pitchers were attacking him.
"The pitchers at this level put me behind in the count. Down-and-away, a breaking-ball strike," said Paredes, who hit .366 with a 1.013 OPS during 30 games with Class AAA Oklahoma City.
White Sox bring Series memories
Friday marked the first time the Astros played the White Sox since the 2005 World Series.
Chicago swept the series, which remains the Astros' lone appearance in the Fall Classic.
Manager Bo Porter, then a minor league coach for the Florida Marlins, played the observer role.
"I obviously wasn't a part of the organization," Porter said. "I was living here in the city. I remember the excitement, the buzz that was going around the city. It was a great time for the Houston Astros organization."
Fourth-rounder agrees to deal
The Astros announced four more draft-pick signings Friday and have agreed to terms with 17 of their 40 selections.
Fourth-round pick Conrad Gregor (first base, Vanderbilt) and sixth-round selection Jacob Nottingham (catcher, Redlands High) were joined by 21st-round pick Jon Kemmer (outfielder, Brewton-Parker College) and 38th-round pick Ronnie Mitchell (outfielder, Dallas Baptist).
"(Gregor) has a sweet lefthanded swing and a disciplined approach that has worn out opposing pitchers in the SEC," said Mike Elias, Astros director of amateur scouting.
Odds and ends
Manager Bo Porter said Justin Maxwell will remain a starter when he returns to the club from an injury rehab assignment with Class AAA Oklahoma City. Maxwell won't solely play center field, though, and could spend time in right with rookie Brandon Barnes staying at center. … Righthander Jordan Lyles is 2-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his last six starts. The 22-year-old trails only Oakland's Bartolo Colon (0.75) for the best ERA in the American League during the span.

A Short Guide to Mortise and Marking Gauges
We carry a fairly diverse range of gauges.
here for the entire Mortise and Marking Gauge department
Some basic terminology about marking gauges:
A marking gauge has a fence that can be moved and locked along a beam. There is a single pin to scribe one line. It is used primarily for scribing tenons and dovetail shoulder lines, and occasionally to mark out a rabbet. The pin is fixed and the fence slides to the correct location on the beam and then is locked in place. There are dozens of mechanisms for locking the fence on the beam, some using a captured wedge but more likely some sort of thumbscrew.
A mortise gauge has 2 pins to scribe both sides of a mortise
simultaneously. Some mortise gauges, called combination mortise gauges,
have single pin on the other side so you can use it as a regular marking
gauge, and other types allow you to retract one pin into the fence, for
the same reason. If you have trouble getting both pins to scribe evenly,
check that both pins are at the same height. If they aren't, file one
down slightly. Depending on the design, the movable pin is adjusted by
means of a slider or a screw adjuster. The advantage of the screw adjuster
is that the movable pin will stay put, independent of later fence adjustments.
However, this convenience comes at a greater cost and complexity of mechanism.
(Note: we typically carry many different styles of the same gauge with different features at different prices. The gauge illustrated and linked at left is just one specific mortise gauge that we are using to illustrate the genre.)
|A cutting gauge is a marking gauge with a knife instead of a pin. Basically, the theory behind this distinction is that cutting across grain with a knife is better than using a pin. Since the pin must be pretty sharp, I don't see much of a difference in use, although I personally I prefer the pin. Nevertheless, a cutting gauge does come in handy with delicate operations, such as dealing with veneers.
|A panel gauge is basically a long marking gauge with a beam that can go from a foot to several feet long, depending on the application. A panel gauge's major use is in scribing boards to the correct width. In the old days, before table saws and accurate rip fences, after planing one edge of a board true you would use a panel gauge to scribe a parallel line for the width of the board. Then you'd saw and plane to that line. Panel gauges are also extremely handy for marking locations in the center of a panel. These days in a modern shop they aren't used much, but when you need one they can make layout much faster.
|When you start out a good combination mortise gauge is the most versatile tool to have. However, as you get involved in more complicated projects, having a bunch of gauges whose settings you can maintain for the duration of a project is very handy. Even though a combination gauge can be used as both a mortise gauge and a marking gauge, I typically have a mortise gauge set for the mortise and stock I'm using, and a different marking gauge to hold the setting for the tenon length. This way I can go back and forth with the identical settings without worrying about tiny differences that can cause trouble. Once I set the gauge, I put masking tape over the thumbscrew as a reminder so I know it's set.

On hole 17 there was a sign referring to cross country ski championships and it had a name for the course that I liked but I can't remember it. It should be considered once someone reminds us what the name is.
I think the name should involve horseshoes but that's just me.

The Rapture Already Happened!!!
Only instead of being snatched up into the clouds of glory, American Christians have disappeared into secluded church subcultures and comfortable bubbles. Scared ya for minute, didn't I? :)
According to a number of surveys conducted by the Barna Group, a christian research institute, there has been a 92 percent increase in the number of unchurched Americans in the last thirteen years. In 1991 there were 39 million unchurched Americans compared with the 75 million currently. The age group between 21-35 are disappearing from American churches at an alarming rate and they are the least likely age group to be personally acquainted with a christian. Although every survey concludes that the most effective method of evangelism is to build LONG TERM personal relationships with people, it is the least used method employed by evangelicals. Street preaching, tract distributing, media evangelism, and other "one-hit" type methods are the most common evangelistic tools.
So, the emerging American "unchurched" culture has no "inside" experience with everyday Christians and large numbers of everyday American Christians are spending the majority of their time with other Christians in mostly christian settings.
What are the unintended consequences of such a reality? Well, for one, our culture's impression of the church is largely dependent on evangelicals in the media (most of whom, I wish would get raptured already) or the horror stories from people who have been burned by the church and left. Now, most christian people and leaders are wonderful people, trying to live their lives in accordance to the teachings of Jesus and to love God and each other the best way they know how. But it is SO easy and SO common for believers to get sucked into the christian subculture, that most of the world does not get to encounter these people on a regular basis. We church folks have created such an extensive, safe, and comfortable bubble that it becomes completely possible to enter through the church's door and never come back out again. Somehow, I don't think that is what Jesus had in mind...
We have our own everything: churches, schools from pre-k to college, book clubs, music, stores, christianese jargon, odd bumper stickers, businesses, movies, retreats, concerts, conventions, coffee houses, theaters, magazines, news outlets, youth groups, youth centers, and even alternatives to myspace and youtube (hi, Godtube!). None of these things are sinful or harmful in and of themselves, but add them all together and we've created a comfy, isolated empire that too many Christians retreat to LONG TERM. And MANY get sucked so far in, that they make little contact with the culture at large, if ever. We might as well be raptured.
People outside the church get a distorted view of Christianity because they form their perception of Christianity based on the few glimpses we allow, and it ain't pretty. There's the TV evangelists that prey on the the poorest and most vulnerable members of society to swindle their money in exchange for false hope. The world watches as these charlatans reduce the name of Jesus to a magic trick or a lottery ticket, taking money FROM the poor to build crystal cathedrals and fund their decadent lifestyles of BMWs and mansions on hills. Or people hear mega-preachers like Pat Robertson, who blames every natural disaster on gays and liberals, calls for the assassination of leaders who he disagrees with, who famously said, "gays want to come into our churches, throw blood on us and give us all AIDS," and then later said gay people's presence at Disney World would cause a meteor to hit earth. Oh, how about when Jerry Falwell claimed the purple teletubby was gay and blamed 9/11 on liberals, gays, and the ACLU? Or what about Gary Demar, who wants to establish the Old Testament law as American Law, so gays can be executed. Or the Westboro Baptists that go around the country protesting military funerals with signs that say "God Hates Your Tears," "God Hates Fags," and "God Killed Your Sons." Or savvy politicians, who may or may not be Christians, but do not hesitate to use Jesus to "sanctify" the republican party and all that comes along with it. Or when Bob Jones University, a christian college that attracted such notorious speakers as G.W. Bush and John McCain, just lifted their longstanding official ban on inter-racial dating in 2000! Or people like Ann Coulter, who talk about Jesus constantly and then advocate the use of nuclear weapons, just to send a warning to the rest of the world. Or how about the long string of scandals involving high profile Christians, going all the way back to Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker up to Benny Hinn and Ted Haggard? Or sometimes people's only experience with church people are when they watch Christians organize over shallow issues, such as boycotting stores that say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." Or if people are really lucky, they might just be told they're on their way to hell through a comic strip track left on the windshield of their car. These are just a handful of examples...
Do you see where I am going with this? Do you see why people scratch their heads and think there is a disconnect between Jesus and The church? And in some cases, they are right, there is a disconnect between the example Jesus set and how the church behaves. Christians know that there is so much diversity within the church, so many denominations and viewpoints, and one sector does not speak for the whole. But to an outsider, it could easily seem like "the church" is full of money-hungry, power-hungry, war-mongering, male-dominated, pro-rich, judgmental, calloused, legalistic, politically partisan (bordering on theocrats), hypocritical Pharisees, who want to force their religion on others, reject and condemn those with whom they disagree, and eagerly await heathens' future smiting...
People who have never known down-to-earth, loving Christians to off-set these wacky portrayals (perhaps "betrayals" is a more apt description), will inevitably form this type of caricature of the church. It's human nature. We Christians are guilty of the same. How many Christians who never take the time to know gay people personally paint them as promiscuous, leather-wearing, rainbow-clad, cross-dressing, parade-marching transvestites that are after our children? (I heard this description verbatim...)
All the incidents I pointed out do not represent Christianity as a whole, but the world will never know that if we Christians continue to barricade ourselves within our safe subcultures, listening to CCM (barf) while reading the Left Behind Series. If we do not make the vulnerable move to go out AMONG the people--not just inviting people to church--and build real, trustworthy relationships, where we listen just as much as talk, where we become transparent, humble, and sacrificing--Christians and nonchristians alike will suffer. Nonchristians might never get past their horrible impression of the church to even consider or fully understand the gospel. Our PLACE is to be in the world--smack dab in the middle of the muck and mire of human dysfunction (John 17:5). Christians will never experience essential growth without heeding to this call, to be IN the world. We can attend church services every Sunday, mid-week prayer groups and bible studies, attend our christian colleges, wear our scripture-clad t-shirts and WWJD bracelets, and do the "hit and run" evangelizing from time to time, but unless we get out and live among the people as Jesus did, reach out to the outcasts and marginalized, start publicly defending the cause of the poor and needy, and use what influence we have to demonstrate service-based christianity, we will become stagnant, disconnected Christians, twiddling our thumbs until Jesus comes back....and I wonder what He'd say?
I've been reading this book, "They Like Jesus, But Not the Church: Insights from Emerging Generations" by Dan Kimball, about how the present "secular" culture views Jesus and the Church, and the vast difference of opinion between the two. It's a book that provides great hope for the church to break out of its bubble and reach out to a generation hungering for Jesus (more to come on this book).
I don't know about you, but I haven't been raptured. I am here on earth, called to pray for and bring about God' will ON EARTH as it is in heaven. I am flawed and inadequate for such a task. I struggle with selfishness, fear, doubt, and a million other areas on a daily basis. Nevertheless, I am not ready to disappear from the world. I want to be here to sow peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. I want to extend a hand of friendship to the other--the Muslim, the Jew, the Hindu, the atheist, or a gay person. I want to encounter Jesus in the least, the lost, and the last of this world. After all, that is where He said we would truly find him.
"Christians are now the foreigners in a post-christian culture, and we have got to wake up to this reality."
--Dan Kimball

Disastrous property damage, loss of key customers, and evaporating markets would spell the end for most companies, but for graphics producer Filmet, these trials marked turning points that would lead the company to prosper. Read on to find out how th
Few companies could survive losing their biggest customer, having their most lucrative market snatched away, and coping with the obsolescence of their core service—all in the same year. But it was these events that dramatically reshaped
Filmet, a Pittsburgh, PA-based graphics printer, and ultimately led the business to the most successful point in its nearly century-long history.
Filmet was founded in 1910 by Vincent Bachelder as a photo-finishing operation that specialized in department-store and professional portraits. Upon Vincent's passing, his son, Vernon Bachelder, left school in the 10th grade and took over the operation. A fire early in Vernon's tenure resulted in a total loss for Filmet, and as Vernon rebuilt the company, he decided it was time to change direction. He dedicated Filmet to commercial photography and, according to his son, Rick Bachelder, became quite a skilled and gifted photographer. In the early 1950s, Vernon found his safety at risk during a couple of jobs, which prompted him to make his occupation a bit less hazardous. He put down the camera and focused on processing prints for other photographers.
Rick Bachelder, the third generation to lead the company, joined Filmet in 1976 after finishing college. Filmet had nine employees at the time, three of whom were Rick, his father, and his mother. Rick's siblings, Gary and Denise, were next to come on board, and Rick took over as president in 1980, which gave his parents the chance to retire.
The mid-1980s brought the addition of Filmet's first piece of electronic gear: a typesetting system. "We started setting type, and it really opened my eyes to this new wave that was coming—electronics," Bachelder says. He was hooked on leading-edge technology from that point on.
Filmet's next high-tech purchase was a machine that Bachelder had custom-made to image directly to a 4 x 5 piece of film, thus eliminating the need to make negatives from slides provided by the company's customers. The photographic prints made from the direct-imaged, medium-format films were more crisp, in focus, and vibrant than the films made with negatives. This capability allowed Filmet to do business nationally.
"We were trying to start a pattern of being first in emerging technologies," Bachelder explains. "Shortly after that, we got into prepress."
Bachelder wanted to come up with a way to make high-resolution color transparencies with the shop's
prepress equipment, so he purchased a Cymbolic Sciences Fire 1000 Film Re-corder system. It allowed him to gener-ate transparencies up to 8 x 10 in. and Filmet to enter the retouching side of the business.
"As this was starting to take off for us, we saw the next set of changes coming," Bachelder recalls. "The next set of changes were going to be really hitting hard in 2001."
2001: Disaster and recovery
The year 2001 dealt Filmet three huge blows. The shop's largest customer closed 12 of its 17 locations, a move that cost Filmet 20% in total sales. Next, the events of September 11, as Bachelder puts it, essentially finished off the trade-show and exhibit business—Filmet's primary market at the time—because the events were cancelled. Finally, Bachelder recognized that the photographic product Filmet sold as a display device was quickly becoming outdated.
Rather than abandon hope, Bachelder looked to new technology once again to rejuvenate Filmet. He became intrigued by large-format inkjet technology, which eventually led him to EFI's VUTEk 2360 roll-fed solvent inkjet. He felt the machine would provide a way to shed Filmet's older business model and explore new markets.
"I saw the 2360 as a printer that gave me close to photo-like quality, but a much more durable image," he says. "I put the 2360 in and six months later added another one, which was a VUTEk 3360. All of a sudden, we were moving away from trade shows and exhibits into P-O-P."

Osama Bin Laden: Dead!by Free Britney at .
Osama bin Laden is dead. This is not a hoax. The world's most notorious terrorist has been killed by U.S. military forces, according to breaking news reports.
The mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the leader of Al Qaeda was reportedly shot in the head in Afghanistan and his body is in U.S. hands.
Bin Laden is believed to have been taken down by U.S. assets in a mansion outside Islamabad, Pakistan, along with other members of his family, officials say.
Osama bin Laden (1957-2011).
Already a notorious fugitive before the 9/11 attacks that killed over 3,000 people, capturing Osama had been a key national security priority for a decade.
Few additional details have been confirmed about bin Laden's death at this time, but President Barack Obama will address the nation shortly to provide them.
The administration is still gathering intelligence and will be briefing congressional officials in advance of the President's address to America tonight.
Obama will deliver the news to the nation in an address from the White House, almost 10 years after the catastrophic attacks bin Laden orchestrated.
Story developing ...
UPDATE: The Al Qaeda leader was shot in the head by U.S. forces in a mansion in Abbottabad, about 31 miles north of the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.
Four others in the compound were also killed. One of them was bin Laden's adult son; another was a woman being used as a shield by a male combatant.
Osama bin Laden's body was later buried at sea, an official said. Many Muslims adhere to the belief that bodies should be buried within one day.
Official did not release additional details about the burial of the notorious Saudi native, but said it was handled in keeping with Muslim customs.
In an address to the nation, the President called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."
"Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan," Obama said.
"A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties."
"After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body."
Obama said the operation was planned for months.

I'll eventually process my pictures, but I wanted to thank Shannon Conway and Graham Abbot (diving4images) for a great workshop in Tulamben. I have never seen so many ghost pipefishes...
... or Nauticam housings!
Graham is a hard act to follow, but Megumi Kaneko was up to the task at Mimpi Menjangan.
I think that I'm coming to grips with the D800:
This is more than can be said for my frustrations at the (by all accounts continuous) Denpasar gridlock that left me in fear of missing my flight this afternoon!

Nivelco Process Instruments for Water Treatment Plants – Potable Water Production
Nivelco and Aqua Technology Group can provide all your instrumentation needs for production wells, purification, treatment, and distribution system.
The production wells are drilled in ground layers rich in water, the pumps are lowered into the wells to pump the raw water to the central water treatment facilities.
- Measuring tasks:
- Continuous level measurement of the well
- Temperature measurement of the water
- Hydrostatic pressure (water level) of the production well
- Flow of the produced water
- Dry-run protection of the pumps
- Hydrostatic level transmitters that combine level and temperature measurement: the NIVOPRESS N transmitter family.
- Piezoresistive pressure transmitters: NIVOPRESS NZK types
- Water input measurement: ISOMAG electro-magnetic flow meters
The raw water pumped from the production wells contains different organic and inorganic materials. These materials have to be removed from the water. Removal is done either by mechanical filters or by adding coagulant materials to the water to help precipitate the contaminating materials. The resulting slurry is separated in settling tanks. The clean water is often passed through sand or other final filtration stages.
- Pressure measurement with NIPRESS type pressure transmitters
- Level measurement with EchoTREK ultrasonic level transmitters
- pH measurement of the clean water with AnaCONT analytical instruments
- Low/high level switching with NIVOSWITCH or NIVOMAG level switches
To move water out to the distribution system and to the customers, the pressure in the system has to be increased. This is done by booster pumps, water towers or air charged pressure vessels with compressed-air pumps.
- Pressure control at the compressed-air pumps with NIPRESS pressure transmitters and UNICONT controllers
- Water level control at the compressed-air pumps with NIVOCAP level transmitters and UNICONT controllers
- Water level measurement in the reservoir or watertower with EasyTREK ultrasonic level transmitters from either the top or the bottom of the water tower with NIVOPRESS D type hydrostatic level transmitters

Islamic Regime is Organizing a "Cultural Event" at the National Art Centre in Ottawapublished on Wednesday, May 25, 2011
The Islamic Regime of Iran is at it again, attempting to organize a "cultural event" at the National Art Centre in Ottawa on June 4th 2011. The Regime has been known to organize so called culltural events every so often in order to mask its true nature, and hide behind culture. This is an attempt to move the focus of Canadians and the Canadian Government away from the human rights violations, recent waive of mass executions, rape and torture in prisons and the general illegitimacy of the Regime in Iran.
This event is being organized by the Cultural Centre of Iran which is affiliated with the Islamic Regime Embassy in Ottawa. It is concerning to see that once again the Regime is attempting to show its influence and power in Canada.
I urge all freedom loving activists to write to the National Art Centre and voice your concerns over this "cultural event" organized by the Regime.
Rosemary Thompson, Director of Communications and Public Affairs of NAC (613) 947-7000

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Or you can send an email from this page: http://www.nac-cna.ca/en/contact/index.cfm
We may have to organize a protest but I am hoping it won't come to that and the National Art Centre will cancel the event. Please call and send emails as soon as you can, and circulate this as wide as possible, especially to our friends in Ottawa.
Down with the Islamic Regime in Iran
