Actually, the eyes are half way down on most human faces

Also, I always thought the golden mean was the rectangle developed by the
radius drawn from the diagonal of a square (AKA square root of 2). Close but
not the same as a 2:3 ratio.

I guess it's like when drawing a picture of a human face you start with an
oval and divide into thirds, put the eyes one third of the way down and the
mouth two thirds of the way down and fill in from there.  Not that I can
draw a credible picture of a human face but I know the rule of thumb of how
to go about it.  Ruth

Beautiful drawing, John.   How do you do it?

You have articulated the use of the system (or any system) wonderfully.

It is almost as good a system as Synchronicity.   As I was standing on =
the Museum floor in an exhibit area with my LAP on a rolling desk, =
writing this reply instead of writing texts for the exhibit panels, a =
woman visitor walked up and said "I have an old house I am restoring and =
I wonder if you could help me figure something out about it."   She had =
no idea I was interested in such things, but simply felt compelled to =
ask.    Nice moment.   Your drawing was on the screen, ready to use.

    =20
    Golden Rectangle arrived at by geometry:

    =20
    1) draw a square

    =20
    2) from the mid-point of one side, let's call it the bottom of the =
square, swing an arc using that point as centre and an opposite (top) =
corner of the square as the end of the radius.   Swing the arc to the =
base line (the bottom line with the centre point) extended (right or =
left)beyond the square to allow the arc to intersect with it.

    =20
    3) from the intersection of the arc and the extended bottom side of =
the square, erect a line at right angles (vertical line).

    =20
    4) extend the top line of the square to intersect with the new =
vertical.

    =20
    5) the new large rectangle, including the square and the small new =
rectangle just created, is a Golden Rectangle.

    =20
    Golden Ratio Proportions are approximately 1 : 1.618...  or 1 : =
0.618... , reciprocal and an irrational number (Ralph will like that).

    You can prove it with the resulted rectangle constructed as above.   =
AxA + BxB =3D CxC  (my e-mail doesn't have the symbol for "square", but =
that is nice because even those without Rich Text, like Ruth, can read =
it, "In a right triangle with short sides a and b, and long side c,  =
a-square plus b-square equals c-square.")

    =20
    6) if you use the long side of the new large rectangle as the length =
of the side of a square to add beside that rectangle, then the new very =
large rectangle will be another Golden Rectangle, etc., etc., etc.   =
Connecting similar points on all the new-to-infinity rectangles will =
describe a logarithmic curve, but that is another story.

    =20
    jc., you describe beautifully the benefit of looking for the =
proportion systems used by the original designers, not always Golden, as =
a means to discovering missing parts or creating new work that blends =
harmoniously with old.   Have experienced this frequently with =
delightful success while working with heritage home owners in =
revitalizing their houses, finding old clues to everything from missing =
walls to the original position of picture or plate rails and the height =
of wainscoting.

    =20
    The Golden Ratio is a mathematical or geometrical relationship that =
describes how many living things grow their form in nature, has its own =
wonderful curiosity as a piece of mathematical gymnastics, describes =
sonic and musical relationships, and seems to be hard-wired into our =
visual perception system, so it has a powerful intrigue from many points =
of view.   Wordsworth, a serious geometer, constructed poems based on =
its proportions, and the story goes on and on.   It is not universal, =
but it sure can be interesting.

Not meaning to tarnish your reputation and clever e-drawing in front
of friends, but, hey=A0jc., your Golden Rectangle is a little
tarnished.=A0=A0 Sounds more like a Bronze Rectangle, close, but not =
quite.


=A0

Golden Rectangle arrived at by geometry:


=A0

1) draw a square


=A0

2) from the mid-point of one side, let's call it the bottom of the
square,=A0swing an arc using that point as centre and an opposite (top)
corner of the square as the end of the radius.=A0=A0 Swing the arc to =
the
base line (the bottom line=A0with=A0the centre point)=A0extended (right =
or
left)beyond the square to allow the arc to intersect with it.


=A0

3) from the intersection of the arc and the extended=A0bottom side of
the square, erect a line at right angles (vertical line).


=A0

4) extend the top line of the square to intersect with the new
vertical.


=A0

5) the new large rectangle, including the square and the small new
rectangle just created, is a Golden Rectangle.


=A0

Golden Ratio Proportions are approximately 1 :=A01.618...=A0 or 1 :
0.618... , reciprocal and an irrational number (Ralph will like that).


You can prove it with the resulted rectangle constructed as above.=A0=A0
AxA + BxB =3D CxC=A0 (my e-mail doesn't have the symbol for "square", =
but
that is nice because even those without Rich Text,=A0like Ruth, can read
it, "In a right triangle with short sides a and=A0b, and long side c,
=A0a-square plus b-square equals c-square.")


=A0

6) if you use the long side of the=A0new large rectangle as the length
of the side of a square to=A0add beside that rectangle, then the new
very large rectangle will be another Golden Rectangle, etc., etc.,
etc.=A0=A0 Connecting similar points on all the new-to-infinity =
rectangles
will describe a logarithmic curve,=A0but that is another story.


=A0

with
delightful success while working with heritage home owners in
revitalizing their houses, finding old clues to everything from
missing walls to the original position of picture or plate rails and
the height of wainscoting.


=A0

The Golden Ratio is a mathematical or geometrical=A0relationship that
describes how many living things grow their form in nature, has its
own wonderful curiosity as a piece of mathematical gymnastics,
describes sonic and=A0musical relationships, and seems to be hard-wired
into our visual=A0perception system,=A0so it has a powerful intrigue =
from
many points of view.=A0=A0 Wordsworth, a serious geometer, constructed

As I work it out according to the drawing by John it works out to =
1:1.618 or 2:3.236 (roughly).  However if I take the tangent of the =
angle provided by John (13.88 degrees) I get 0.247.  If I take the ratio =
described above I get a tangent ("y/x" or "opposite over adjacent") of =
0.618 and an angle of about 32 degrees.

If I do what Eric suggests I end up with a ratio of 1:1.414, an angle =
with a tangent of 0.707, and an angle (looking at John's diagram) of =
35.26 degrees.

A Google on the subject indicates that the ratio is 0.618 as described =
by John but I don't know where the 13.88 degrees figures in:

P.S.  My graphics book also indicates that the eyes are about 1/2 the =

Actually, the eyes are half way down on most human faces

The 13 whatever degrees is to make it EASY to derive rectangles of the
same proportion without screwing around with numbers and calculators or
memorizing anything.

I did a google on "golden ratio" and came up with:

Phi: That Golden Number
by Mark Freitag

Refer to the URL in my original note (make sure you get the full =
length).

Note that it isn't "Pi: That Golden Number" but "Phi" and that it is the =
Golden Ratio, not Section.

The 13 whatever degrees is to make it EASY to derive rectangles of the
same proportion without screwing around with numbers and calculators or
memorizing anything.

Please site your source for the Golden Section?

Its an aide.  A tool.  It works.  Put your calculator down.  Go out
for a walk.  Look at the pretty buildings and find all the squares.=20
When you get your fill of squares, look for the rectangles.  Don't
examine the widths of the mullions, its all make believe.  After the
designer has assembled all his/her squares and golden rectangles,
somebody who knows how buildings go togeter has to jump in and get the
mullions detailed so that they can be built...and that person don't
care much about no golden mullions.=20

Weird.  I've finally found a way to reply to you Ralph!  I the reply.
Nothing happens.  I quit the program.  I restart the program.  Bingo,
the unsent email shows up!  At least it works.  Trashing you didn't do
much good.

Shit is very useful in the right context.

Ruth,

High heat does a whole bunch of stuff to stone or mortar. Magma is stone
in high heat.
Depends on the materials and depends on the amount of heat.
As to controlled burns in Indiana cemeteries I would suspect that the
gravestones are more than likely being damaged.
Though to prove this out may be difficult as micro-damage is not always
easily recognized as promoting an incremental increase in long-term and
radical decay of stone.
Scientific investigation would be for a study to be made by a materials
conservator of the effect of the controlled burns on the masonry in the
specific cemeteries.
Possibly comparing of weathering effects on stones in non-burn
cemeteries of comparative age & climate etc.
Such a study would require sufficient interest for there to be funding.
Speculation as to the effect would not be very scientific.
In the mean time controlled burns would likely continue.

Bruce,
Faces and Numbers .............  Questions/Comments

1) The length of the nose is directly proportional to the size of the lie
just told.   Ask Pinocchio.

2) The ratio 1 : 2.236.....  is cousin of the Golden Ratio, know to some as
the "Divine Ratio". (That should wake Ralph up.)

I have never found where the "Golden" and "Divine" ratio names originated,
but they seem to be from the 1800's.   An old old wizened experienced mason
who spoke at a restoration course I once attended at the Institute for
Advanced Studies in York, England (he worked on cathedrals in France), sure
did recognize the ratio values when I asked about them, although he said he
had never heard of the names.   He said he used them all the time to lay out
corbelled arches and other details.   He pointed out that the Medieval
mason's square was not in fact totally square, and could be used to produce
those proportions.   He also said that, traditionally, a Master Mason was
not someone who could carve stone any better than another, but someone who
could do layouts (knew geometry).

A very slippery golden rule/ratio, it looks like cheap aluminium but it
is painted to resemble a yellowish brick.
Often sold to sheep farmers in Indiana. It is NOT related to the Brown
Gerbil.
Though I enjoy the Golden Ratio and Fibinacci stuff [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...]... I do think it hogwash when touted as the
absolute "key" to beauty in aesthetic design.
Then again, seeing as the Great Pyramid is through these mathematical
schemes aligned w/ Sirius, within our galaxy of origination, there may
actually be something to it.

Well, if you think of it ( Proportions ) like a piano and a piano tuner and
a piano player, the concept of being in tune is a bit relative, depending on
whether you want to play Honky Tonk or Chopin, but the detail of being as
precisely in tune as possible makes all the difference in terms of what
happens in a saloon or a concert hall.   Some like it wonky.   Some like it
tight.   Different magic for different customers.   However, sending your
head into the outer space of ecstasy happens best when the piano is in tune.
Just as true in the visual/spatial world as the soundscape.   But, I once
had a customer ask me to de-tune her piano because she liked the
"liveliness" of the sound that way.   She wanted thumbtacks placed on the
hammer pads too.

"God lives in the details."

Cuyler,  It's a good thing geometry was invented by the Greeks, because
it's all Greek to me.  I did, however, recognize the only bit of geometry I
ever learned, namely, the square of the hypotenuse of a right angle
triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides.  I think
Pythygoras must have been unemployed for a large part of his life to have
time to think this stuff up, and all just to torment poor high school
students.

However, I asked 16 year old son and he knew all about the Golden
Rectangle, however, he sounded as though it was not his favorite part of
Algebra II.  Ruth

OOPS !

Not meaning to tarnish your reputation and clever e-drawing in front of
friends, but, hey jc., your Golden Rectangle is a little tarnished.
Sounds more like a Bronze Rectangle, close, but not quite.

Golden Rectangle arrived at by geometry:

1) draw a square

2) from the mid-point of one side, let's call it the bottom of the
square, swing an arc using that point as centre and an opposite (top)
corner of the square as the end of the radius.   Swing the arc to the base
line (the bottom line with the centre point) extended (right or left)beyond
the square to allow the arc to intersect with it.

3) from the intersection of the arc and the extended bottom side of the
square, erect a line at right angles (vertical line).

4) extend the top line of the square to intersect with the new vertical.

5) the new large rectangle, including the square and the small new
rectangle just created, is a Golden Rectangle.

Golden Ratio Proportions are approximately 1 : 1.618...  or 1 : 0.618... ,
reciprocal and an irrational number (Ralph will like that).
You can prove it with the resulted rectangle constructed as above.   AxA +
BxB = CxC  (my e-mail doesn't have the symbol for "square", but that is
nice because even those without Rich Text, like Ruth, can read it, "In a
right triangle with short sides a and b, and long side c,  a-square plus
b-square equals c-square.")

6) if you use the long side of the new large rectangle as the length of the
side of a square to add beside that rectangle, then the new very large
rectangle will be another Golden Rectangle, etc., etc., etc.   Connecting
similar points on all the new-to-infinity rectangles will describe a
logarithmic curve, but that is another story.

jc., you describe beautifully the benefit of looking for the proportion
systems used by the original designers, not always Golden, as a means to
discovering missing parts or creating new work that blends harmoniously
with old.   Have experienced this frequently with delightful success while
working with heritage home owners in revitalizing their houses, finding old
clues to everything from missing walls to the original position of picture
or plate rails and the height of wainscoting.

The Golden Ratio is a mathematical or geometrical relationship that
describes how many living things grow their form in nature, has its own
wonderful curiosity as a piece of mathematical gymnastics, describes sonic
and musical relationships, and seems to be hard-wired into our
visual perception system, so it has a powerful intrigue from many points of
view.   Wordsworth, a serious geometer, constructed poems based on its
proportions, and the story goes on and on.   It is not universal, but it
sure can be interesting.

I would have guessed the angle to be 30 to 40 degrees just from looking
at John's drawing. I couldn't understand the 13.88 degrees either,
which would be a much less inclined looking angle.

How about Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?

Or do you mean a tune like tuning your engine?

Or do you mean like Timothy Leary's "Tune in, turn on, drop out"?

Or do you mean like our two dollar Canadian coin called a "Toony"?

Just send a plane ticket and I will happily tune your piano for free.

www.putneyschool.org will get you to their website, however, I could not
find a single picture of this building on the website.  I think they call
it a recreation building, or arts building or some such.  Very few pictures
on the website.  Of course the ones I liked were the farm pictures.  Ruth

Let's not write off the tradesperson's interest in the Golden Rectangles
so quickly. My dad got me into art school for six years (high school &

workshop. He was fascinated when I laid out a carved panel in the shop
with the Golden Rectangle that I had just learned about at school. He
recalled when he had learned about it also, back around 1920 when he was
working with Keats Lorenz the noted woodcarver. After that we both used
the Golden and other Geometrics more often in the shop. Perhaps we can
consider ourselves artisans when we use such techniques of the mind that
guide our hands in the ways of the heart. I agree that there are many in
the trades who know or care little about such matters, but there have
always been a few of us who do, or want to. I am no longer suprised when
I find at least one such tradesperson on every crew I work with these
days, who is ready, or already, stepping into the realm of the artisan
where Golden Rectangles apply.

  (In the olden days, long long ago, when architects designed with
pencils and engineers did what they were told and all was right with
the world, there was a tool called an Adjustable Triangle.  A magic
tool.  In those days a younger and much more attractive JC, [Not that
anyone noticed] would set his magic adjustable triangle to the diagonal
of a golden rectangle.  Then he would proceed to draw additional
rectangles knowing that as long as each rectangle had the same
diagonal, or its perpendicular, it too would be golden.  Professor
Weber may not have been pleased, but he was satisfied that he had
beaten JC into submission, [which he believed was his duty].  With JC
down, domination of the studio was complete, and all the designs
produced by the studio were uniformly covered in golden rectangles.

uniformly beaten into submission.

good and drunk.  Ahh the good old days.

Please site your source for the Golden Section?

Interestingly enough (or not) we use 14 degrees (13.88 rounded up eh?)
in layout of haunched shoulders on horizontal tenons and housings. It's
the only angle that I know of that can be drawn by using the digits as
pitch on a framing square, ie; 1/4 = 14 degrees.

Here is a "handy" way to layout a Golden Rectangle if you have left your
paper, colored pencils, dividers and straight-edge back in the shop:

Just point to the first joint of the opposing finger and you're all set.

Have no fear, I would NEVER, EVER attempt to draw a picture of ANYTHING!!!!
I was just repeating what I have heard about how to go about drawing a
picture of a human face. I was horrible at it in school and am still
horrible at it.  A friend once showed me how to draw a picture of a horse's
head and I could do one that was actually recognizable, oh yes, and a tree
with branches--no leaves, just branches, so my trees are all deciduous in
winter.  Once there was one of those drawing class things on PBS and I used
to watch it, one day she was drawing a bowl of fruit so I decided to try
it.  I had this little bitty picture in the corner of the piece of paper,
but it did almost look like fruit in a bowl.  Ruth

What sort of Mustangs.  I like the early ones, '64, '65.  My son has an '89
that he thinks is just wonderful and I don't like the looks of it at all.

A couple of thoughts come to mind.

Question: In this day and age of off-the-shelf window, door, etc. sizes do
you know if the GR is incorporated into those sizes or are they more geared
toward the notion of starting with a 2x4 and 16" stud spacings, 4x8 sheets
of plywood, etc. (realizing that those things really aren't that limiting
if you're willing to put up with a bit of waste). Lately I find myself
planning a garage/barn but laying it out in multiples of Mustang (the
car--I own several and the other cars I own are about the same size)
dimensions and the idea of sticking with two or four foot framing
intervals. Obviously these examples are not typical of architect-designed
structures (at least not, shall we say, artistically-designed ones) but I'm
just pointing out how the standard construction materials and other factors
influence the design process (at least of some out there in the field).

<<image.tiff>(In the olden days, long long ago, when architects
designed with pencils and engineers did what they were told and all
was right with the world, there was a tool called an Adjustable
Triangle. A magic tool. In those days a younger and much more
attractive JC, [Not that anyone noticed] would set his magic
adjustable triangle to the diagonal of a golden rectangle. Then he
would proceed to draw additional rectangles knowing that as long as
each rectangle had the same diagonal, or its perpendicular, it too
would be golden. Professor Weber may not have been pleased, but he was
satisfied that he had beaten JC into submission, [which he believed
was his duty]. With JC down, domination of the studio was complete,
and all the designs produced by the studio were uniformly covered in
golden rectangles.


In the next chapter we will learn how in the final critique (ritual
dual of egos and magic incantations), the evil Dr. Glasser managed to
praise Professor Weber's powers as an Archeted, while he reamed the
entire studio out very thoroughly for having allowed themselves to be
uniformly beaten into submission.


JC rarely agreed with the evil Dr. Glasser. The realization that he
did agree, and exhaustion, and a little wine. were enough to get him
good and drunk. Ahh the good old days.

jc,

You are absolutely right.  I often think I am reading my words and =
thoughts and wonder how they got on the Outlook screen, and they turn =
out to be yours.   The adjustable triangle tale was too amazingly =
familiar.  It is still my favourite tool.   Makes me feel especially =
happy every time I use it.

Maybe it is in the Ancient name.   In the drafting room at Cornell, the =
guys from New York with the Ralphian persuasion used to love to speak =
jovially about our little social group, me and them, as "JC and the =
Boys".   I was frequently crucified by their good natured jokes.

It would be fun to meet and see what the mirror looks like.   Funny =
thing about the name sound.   After I graduated from the initials name =
no one else had, into a real word name, I continued to be blessed by a =
name no one else had, Cuyler, and that felt familiar.   I could never =
imagine what it would be like to have the same name as anyone else.   =
However, since the early 90's, "Tyler" has became a popular name for =
parents to give their new little boys.   I still jump in a shopping mall =
or restaurant when the automatic response kicks in to the sound of =
"..YLER COME HERE !" yelled by some young female voice.

Cheers,
cp in bc

PS:  Hey, you passed the test.   Don't worry about the grid.   =20

Better yet, after dealing with all those 2' grids in ' 60's =
architecture, maybe it would be fun to make a fractilated GR grid for =
the next design project.   Gosh, maybe that is what Gehry does.   Or =
maybe it was just something he ate.

to arch school to use his adjustable triangle, and  I was amazed to find out

Makes me  feel especially happy every time I use it.

Maybe it is in the Ancient name.   In  the drafting room at Cornell, the guys
from New York with the Ralphian  Meaning the Hebraic? persuasion used to love
to speak  jovially about our little social group, me and them, as "JC and the
 Boys". We were The Boys in The Back Row, to one of our structures  teachers
who got pissed off one morning and threw chalk at  us.     I was frequently
crucified by their good  natured jokes.

It would be fun to meet and see what the mirror  looks like.   Funny thing
about the name sound.   After I  graduated from the initials name no one else

early  90's, "Tyler" has became a popular name for parents to give their new

PS:  Hey, you passed the test.    Don't worry about the grid.

Better yet, after dealing with all those 2' grids  in ' 60's architecture,
maybe it would be fun to make a fractilated GR grid  for the next design
project.   Gosh, maybe that is what Gehry  does.   Or maybe it was just something he
ate.

 Bruce doesn't have any Mustangs you would be interested in. Trust me, one
of them is mom's 4 cylinder, 84 model. FYI, I have an 01 Cobra.

What sort of Mustangs.  I like the early ones, '64, '65.  My son has an '89
that he thinks is just wonderful and I don't like the looks of it at all.

A couple of thoughts come to mind.

Question: In this day and age of off-the-shelf window, door, etc. sizes do
you know if the GR is incorporated into those sizes or are they more geared
toward the notion of starting with a 2x4 and 16" stud spacings, 4x8 sheets
of plywood, etc. (realizing that those things really aren't that limiting
if you're willing to put up with a bit of waste). Lately I find myself
planning a garage/barn but laying it out in multiples of Mustang (the
car--I own several and the other cars I own are about the same size)
dimensions and the idea of sticking with two or four foot framing
intervals. Obviously these examples are not typical of architect-designed
structures (at least not, shall we say, artistically-designed ones) but I'm
just pointing out how the standard construction materials and other factors
influence the design process (at least of some out there in the field).

Cuyler,

I may be doing something wrong, but I keep coming up with 1-1/4".  When
I went through the A/C=B/A routine I came up with .61538xxx and
.625xxx.  We are talking about a difference of 0.01+/-.  At this scale,
3"+/-, its a difference a craftsperson, can deal with it, probably with
sandpaper.  If I needed to work at microscopic level, I might want to
figure out how to increase the accuracy.  If I'm working on the
preliminary design for an airport this might be too much accuracy.

Few people actually call me "JC".   Its mostly just sort of an email
thing.  I don't often hear parents in stores calling for "Joooohnnnn!"
anymore.  But, goodness there's always some kid screaming, "DDAAAAAAD!"
  Now that I'm not constantly responding to the calls of my kids, I find
I've been so conditioned that I automatically respond to the calls of
other people's kids.  I hope it goes away.  I especially hate the
sudden instinctive urge to grab a kid who is about to fall out of a
shopping cart or experience some other tragedy.  I haven't taken to
lecturing young parents yet...but I've come across one or two I though
about decking.  (I have a bad temper, and can be self rightous, but I
try to control it in public.)  Although I am frequently lost in stores
and wandering unsupervised, hoping to find either my wife or some cool
stuff to play with (same thing on some level, I suppose) I have never
found myself responding to some strange woman calling to her husband.
Maybe they don't do that.  Probably not because it would be
embarrassing....more likely once a husband is lost there's a vague hope
they will stay that way.  Apparently there is no danger of any woman
going home with an extra husband.

-jc

Bruce,  You gotta be nuts, you think I'm goin' through all that work to get
my PhD??  Why, just yesterday I got an e-mail said I could get my PhD in
just 2 short weeks with no study, no test, nothin', just fork over the
dough.  Problem is, I couldn't decide what field I wanted my degree in.
LOL  Ruth

The thing to do, it seems to me, is to make a cemetery research facility,

together and you can get a PhD out of this! You can get sponsorship from
Miracle Grow (to speed the regeneration of the weeds) and Rock Of Ages (for
the stones). Maybe some of our constipated brethren (with the aid of
Ex-Lax) will donate natural fertilizer too...

Kinda like that place down south where people who donate their bodies for
this purpose are allowed to sit out and rot away so researchers can study
the rate at which the worms go in and out and play pinochle on your snout
(not to be confused with the guy in GA who just got about 12 years for
doing much the same thing under the guise of running a crematorium).

The real problem is that the sample would have already been contaminated by
every cleaning agent known to man so it would be impossible to know which
caused deterioration, the cleaning agents or the heat.  Ruth

Too worldly... Actually, speaking of series, since you asked, my all time
favorite was one called "What in the World" on Sunday mornings, where a bunch of
 cranial types would sit around postulating about an ethnological object
placed  before them in a room. They were usually wrong about the origin of the
object as  I recall, but it was a good intro to the art of pedantry and how to

To say nothing of men with bad aim.

Hey, it was just a suggestion.  We are in the late design phase of a =
project where we're trying to get LEED certified so we're looking for =
any opportunity to recycle the stuff in the existing building.  They =
were just talking about using the marble partitions for flooring or some =
such scheme (or maybe use them in another building as toilet partitions) =
so it came to mind.

It just occured to me that the idea of burning off a cemetary could give =
the occupants the idea that they didn't fare so well with St. Peter...

The real problem is that the sample would have already been contaminated =

which

Jim is right.  Although I used to have '65, '66, and '67 models (the =
latter a convertible) back in the mid 70's I now only have the newer =
body style similar to the one your son has.

Jim has a nice cruising car (a convertible) but one of mine has been =
raced on real race tracks (not drag strips) by me and another has a lot =
of experience on race tracks in the northeast, driven by a friend of =
mine and myself.

Three are the fastback model (the rest are regular coupes), three are =
V-8s (the rest are 4 cylinders), and all but one have standard =
transmissions.

I agree the old ones were nice and I've considered buying one again but =
I'm pretty heavily invested in the newer style now (though still well =
under $10,000).

Note that it pretty quickly settles out on a ratio of 0.618 (though it =
does show up as 0.61835 and 0.625 early on) and the angle is 31.72 =
degrees (or 31.7174744...).

I think someone made mention of the idea that maybe this series is one =
that approaches a given ration when the calculation is carried out a =
large number of times--the table above shows that it does.

I've also attached the calculations as an Excel spreadsheet.  Excel is a =
favorite tool of mine for repetitive calculations.

I note that the ratio of 1/1.618 is 0.618...

Interesting, but my mind is getting fried on this whole business. =20

Do you want Golden Fries with that?

P.S. I again refer you to the item I googled which has some high =
fallutin' derivations and constructions on the subject:

Cuyler,

I may be doing something wrong, but I keep coming up with 1-1/4".  When
I went through the A/C=3DB/A routine I came up with .61538xxx and
.625xxx.  We are talking about a difference of 0.01+/-.  At this scale,
3"+/-, its a difference a craftsperson, can deal with it, probably with
sandpaper.  If I needed to work at microscopic level, I might want to
figure out how to increase the accuracy.  If I'm working on the
preliminary design for an airport this might be too much accuracy.

Hi Bruce,

Nice chart.   You are using the number series known as the Fibonacci Series,
discovered by Middle Aged monk who loved matematics.   The Fibonacci Series
features numbers in which each is the sum of the preceding two.   Therefore,
you have to add another two units at the beginning, a "0" and a "1" to make
the series perfect.   After all, the Universe had to begin with the big
yawn, and then there was One, who got lonely, so then there were Two, and
then .........

The Fibonacci Series and the Golden Ration are not the same thing.   The
Ratio is pure in its geometric form.   What iz interezting is how they
describe each other, becoming more precise the higher the plane of
reference.   There are other places where the Golden proportion has
parallels too, but Fibonacci's numbers are the easiest to see.

An interesting thing about the ratio is that it is reciprocal.   If you
divide one number into the next, you get 1.618....  If you divide it into
the previous, you get 0.618....

To really make Ralph steam, go count the spiral rows of seeds in a
sunflower.  Count both left and right spirals.   One will be 34 and the
other will be 55.   Been there, done that.   It works.   Obviously you don't
believe anything you can't do yourself.

31.71747441

Note that it pretty quickly settles out on a ratio of 0.618 (though it does
show up as 0.61835 and 0.625 early on) and the angle is 31.72 degrees (or
31.7174744...).

I think someone made mention of the idea that maybe this series is one that
approaches a given ration when the calculation is carried out a large number
of times--the table above shows that it does.

I've also attached the calculations as an Excel spreadsheet.  Excel is a
favorite tool of mine for repetitive calculations.

I note that the ratio of 1/1.618 is 0.618...

Interesting, but my mind is getting fried on this whole business.

Do you want Golden Fries with that?

P.S. I again refer you to the item I googled which has some high fallutin'
derivations and constructions on the subject:

Bruce,

I agree.  We have each applied our logic and our tools and explained
what we found useful and/or interesting.  We can come back to it when
we use it in anger, or are in need of refried brains.

For heaven's sake, it's enough bother shucking the seeds out of the
sunflowers and toasting them without counting the spirals too!!!!  Most
years I grow some giant sunflowers at the ends of the rows in the vegetable
garden but didn't do it last year.  They will get probably 8-10' tall
before they start to bend over.  One year I had one break in a windstorm
but it didn't break off completely so I staked it and taped and splinted
the break and it went on to mature.  A couple of years ago a lady stopped
out front and asked if she could take a photo of them, of course I said
yes.  Don't know if they ended up on postcards for the city folk or what.

I am sorting, cleaning and getting rid of things here in the house,
basically because there is just too much here.  This is a large house but
even large houses have their limits.  Therefore, I am disposing of certain
books, mostly ones that have no connection to my family and nobody here
will ever look at.  I am offering to anyone on this list who would like to
have it a book about New York City.  The title is "Sunshine and Shadow in
New York" author, Matthew Hale Smith, published in 1868.  This book has 92
chapters, I think if I remember my Roman numerals correctly, and over 700
pages.  There are quite a lot of illustrations and it tells about the
people and places in New York City at that time, shortly after the Civil
War.

I have offered this book here first as I consider you folks
friends--almost kin, but if no one is interested I have found another place
that I think might take it.  It is, of course, old and fairly fragile, but
overall in pretty darned good shape for it's age.  Ruth

I like to grow sunflowers too Ruth.  I guess I like them 'cause there
big and beautiful AND tasty.  I grew artichokes once.  But the flower
was so pretty all the plants went to flower instead of fruit.  But
normally, I like plants I can eat...or burn.

...while Olivia was in Aquascutum.    Trinity was closed, but I noted the
brownstone looked remarkably crisp for such deeply cut carving in an exposed
position in a cold weather climate.  Wondered if it was a little too crisp.

Walked past McKim, Mead & White's Brattle Street Baptist Church, with the
distinctive tower processional frieze (by Bartholdi, someone said?), and I
wondered, what is it with those Baptists?   Obviously, they are very rock-based,
which is a good way to be, to have something solid to work from.  And yet Baptist
churches - the stone ones - are almost always dour, flat, kind of like
roadkill.

Around the corner - Exeter Street? - an interesting collision of faith and
works.  A dental enameling outfit opened up in a 1910's storefronted 1880's
rowhouse, all very intact.  But the storefront was recently replicated in heavy
gauge copper - spare no expense!! - but then the copper was painted white,
yielding a bright white storefront against the Victorian masonry - sort of a "fresh
clean smile" I figure is how they saw it.  At least that's how I saw it.

The cavity in this enamel was that the paint - oh, perhaps 2 months old? - is
now peeling off the copper in grapefruit size hunks.   Separation is
exquisitely clean.   Probably 5% failure now, surely the rest will not be long
delayed.   Ooops.

I've always imagined that painting non-ferrous metals was essentially a
doomed enterprise, no matter what, so I was thinking this was entirely misbegotten.
 But then I realized that I really don't know:  is there, indeed, a sound way
to paint over (say) copper and have it last   as long as, say, wood?

Christopher


PS Time to paint from (south) elevation of Vineyard house again; cancel that
one-week trip for two to Venice in March.  Luckily, it's not copper.

We grow Jerusalem Artichokes, which make for rather small sunflowers.

If he offers me a truckload of filing cabinets I'll just tell him I have
given them to my dear friend Ralph in New Jersey and please deliver them to
him.

This book may sound familiar because I think I have mentioned it here
before.  It is really an interesting book even though I don't think it
mentions the Golden Ratio.  I have only just glanced through it as I am
going through many books here making decisions as to what ones I should
dispose of.  The next question becomes, how should I dispose of each one.
Some have people's names in them and/or dedication inscriptions and those I
am trying to find descendants to see if they are interested in having the
books.  Others I am boxing up to be sold or given to booksales held by
various organizations.  Ruth

John,  When do you cut your sunflowers and how do you dry them?  I tried it
once but I think I cut them too soon or didn't dry them correctly as they
got moldy and I gave them to the birds, which is OK too as I buy lots of
bird seed during the winter.

I have a vegetable garden but also have a flower garden which has been here
as long as I can remember.  It is quite overgrown with weeds and brambles
now and I am working as time and season permits to get it into shape.
There are a lot of those "Chinese Lantern" plants there that were there
when I was a kid.

We also have acres of plants that can be burned and the menfolks are busy
cutting them during the warmer months so we can burn them in the furnace
during the winter.  Dad always said that the trees were growing and
maturing on the farm at a faster rate than we could burn them.  We still
don't sell firewood though, too much work to cut it.  Ruth

nope.   demolished 1840's for A. J. Davis' crisp temple-fronted subtreasury
building, which stands on Wall Street at the head of Broad.  you can ascend the
steps and stand more or less where the Father of the Country (until DNA
proves otherwise) stood when he took the first oath of office.  very inspiring if
you are an insufferably patriotic, flag-waving "black Republican" like myself.


the NY Historical Society has one of the three sections of the original iron
fence on which he rested his hand (as depicted in period prints) but they
don't let you touch it any more.

no one has answered my query about painting copper, so the heck with you.

Ruth,

What I have grown and done with my land has varied greatly from place
to place.

As a kid I seemed to start a garden each year, but I think I was more
interested in planning and planting and harvesting.  I was overly
ambitious with the number and kinds of plants and had little interest
in maintaining them.  Harvests were unremarkable.

I grew a bean plant in a pot in my dorm room one year in college.  It
was part of a photographic essay.  I needed a series of slides of
something growing.  I must have grown fond of the plant and vaguely
remember bringing it home to the future Mrs. C. to care fore, since I
tended to neglect it once the project was complete.

When we lived in Maine I ordered seeds from a Canadian outfit.  I
planted sunflowers all along the driveway.  It was kind of pretty.  My
garden was on a rock ledge where I was able to get a small patch of
sunlight through the trees...after taking down a couple of mature White
Pine.  Carrots, radishes, beans and a few other hardy plants did well.
It was important that they did well, school teachers were not paid well
at that time, at least in Maine...I could have gotten a raise by moving
to Mississippi.  It was then that I became a reasonably successful
fisherman too.  We had a couple of acres and I took half the firewood
we burned each winter out of our own land.  Smaller oak and maple, sort
of like weeding.  I learned that a chain saw can screw up your back, a
splitting mall helps straighten it out, and X-C streteches muscles
nicely...if you can stay away from the snowmobiles.  But I do remember
winter evenings by the wood-stove studying the seed catalogs as being
very pleasant.

In Milwaukee we lived in a Condo.  I had a couple of those funky wooden
barrel halves filled with topsoil and I grew pumpkins and cherry
tomatoes.  I took the left over pumpkin seeds and secretly plantedt
them in my neighbors planters.  I remember my kids friends in the
neighborhood screaming, "OOOOOH! You ATE that!  Its been in the dirt!"
But that was nothing compared to their reaction when I had some live
lobsters shipped in from Maine!

In Pennsylvania I got serious about the garden.  But, the trees on the
land were Walnut, Cherry and Mulberry.  It was either too good for
firewood, or not good enough.  I did a sort of raised bed gardening
there.  I had such lousy soil that as I improved it, I didn't want it
to get mixed with the stuff that hadn't been improved.  There I grew a
wide variety of stuff.

Here I'm back to containers, mostly.  Time seems to be a problem now.
I'd like to do more.  I generally have just left the sunflowers to fend
for themselves until they are turning brown.  Then I cut them off and
hang them up someplace dry.  If I forget about them the mice get them.
The mice entertain the cats.  Somehow it all fits into the circle of
life.

I've run into some nasty critters here that are new to me.  Some squash
beetle kills off my pumpkins as soon as they start to flower.  This
bothers me.  I always though a pumpkin was something you could plant
and forget about.

I was more agressive with my gardening last year.  Maybe I will be
again this year.  I've been thinking about moving my compost pile to
the other side of the creek while its frozen.  But I only think about
it on nice days, and then I don't think about it for very long.

Black Republican?  Like J. C. Watts, or Alan Keyes?

As for painting copper, it probably needs some sort of special primer, and/or may have had some sort of solvent left on it from the fabrication process.  It may not have been scuffed up enough for the paint to bind to the metal.  I never tried to paint copper, or called for it to be done, and unless you changed your mind about something, don't know why you would want to do so.

I know galvanized steel requires special primer and/or you have to wait a year or more before you paint it.

It's not often that I fell like the Blue Eyed Devil-
but in the crowd I was with this am I looked like a surf Nazi....
ended up this am in Brooklyn NY- 47th St and 8th Ave.
Had to borrow a Magelan 700 GPS NAvigator- " Right turn in .3 miles"
in a voice that sounds like Hal's sister, to find the place.

Wall to wall Asian comunity,
Right out of the Blade Runner souk, between the snow that the city
probably couldn't plow [or wouldn't as i can't see a whole lot of voter
registration cards being issued there]  with the cars and trucks parked
willy nilly and the overspill onto the sidewalk from the shops it was a
contact sport to walk down the street.

Meet the owner and get to the building and we have a fight with some
enterpenure who has set up a stall
out front complete with blue tarp awning and a cash register running on
powere booted from the light pole.
He was very indignant that we wanted to get to the door.
On my way out I take a spin down the block looking for a cup of coffee,
unattainable,  and
I just pass all of these stalls selling foods I can't identify- except
for the bushels of blue crabs......

Get back in the car, punch up the NY office saved setting and the
maggellan takes me right to 150 28th St Brooklyn...

Yes. See Ralph et Twybil. Acidic wash will also remove any of the
factory solvents/oils from production that Ralph refers to.

Its okay with me if Ralph is insufferable and waving the flag.  Its
okay with me if he is a Negro or a Republican too, but I wouldn't
recommend making it a requirement.

Did you hang them in dry air?
Best drying for herbs is hanging in dry air and/or putting them in a
paper bag hanging in dry air.
I particularly use the paper bag with my slowly accumulating collection
of rose petals w/ intention one day to make rose petal wine.

My e-mail was scrunched up in cyberspace... I don't care too much for
painting metals but I've known copper to be painted and have it last a
while. I think it has to do with removal of oils from the metal surfaces
and use of primers. This may be a case of nobody reading the instructions.

Not sure.  A search says their web site is down for maintenance (it is a =
club track so not very professional in many respects).  Lots of stuff on =
24 hour motorcycle races that took place there but I don't see much =
about the car races. =20

http://www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/Nelson.php

It's a fast track with a long back straight followed by a wicked tight =
hairpin.  It is located in a swampy area so I guess it fogs in pretty =
regularly, not the best for an all-night race.  I drove past Mike =
Tyson's training camp (a pretty plain farm out on a back road south of =
Cleveland) on my way there.

My memories of the place include terrible toilets (took me back to my =
Boy Scout days of holding it for the whole weekend until my eyes turned =
brown), bumps that ruined my shocks to the point that my car was bobbing =
up and down on the start-finish straight to amusement of those viewing =
(so I went out and paid $1000 for double adjustable Konis which I then =
only used a few more times), and trying to use a different sway bar up =
front to get rid of my understeer (I think I went to oversteer as a =
result).  With a relatively slow car like mine I was supposed to be able =
to hold it wide open all the way down the back straight despite a kink =
with bumps but I don't remember if I ever got the confidence to do that =
(sliding sideways at 100 plus mph in a stock car with a bolt-in rollcage =
on a narrow track was not my idea of a way to have fun)...

Kinda like the downhill straight after Turn One at Bridgehampton my =
buddy told me about.

I see the SCCA ran a 12 hour race there last July and did some paving =
improvements last year so I guess it is still active as a car track.  =
The bikes seem to like it too but then those guys seem to race anywhere =
they can get track time.

I went there at least twice by myself back in '93 and '94 and once as a =
crew person in '95, I think.

A very low-tech, casual kind of place.

Within two weeks after 9/11 I was down there on the steps standing
around waiting for someone to arrive. I was holding my aluminium
briefcase and noticed that I was being noticed. We had been asked to
clean off the roof of debris from WTC. I suspect when my queries went
towards the A word we were suddenly removed from the A list. Never ever
heard back from anyone on that proposal. A very interesting low pitch
roof of marble slabs. There was about a half inch of grey powder along
with business papers, personal belongings, and other articles of human
incrimination deposited there.

Someone unmentionable here on another list who mentioned the grandeur or
somesuch of totalitarian/fascist dictators having profound impact on
urban design & monumental architecture -- as in Stalin -- I got a tingle
thinking the cost of 15M dead and the result being 'gift' examples such
as the Palace of Culture in Warsaw... eventually my query led to
wondering at what point in the future Ossama bin Laden will be
breathlessly credited as a genius of urban planning and progressive
architecture for his causal elimination of the WTC. I took pains to
indicate that any architect who was today sequestered in a room with a
surviving family member and mentioned same would be in danger of
elimination. I'm trying to be told where the line is between 'objective'
fine architecture, the ethics of architects in bed with the devil, the
relationship to totalitarian/fascist governments and the distinction
between their building monumental buildings and killing off, torturing
or otherwise supressing their people. I am actually VERY curious about
this set of ideas that float between annihilation and rebirth of the
built environment.

Drew,

Wow!
Have you read any Samuel R. Delany?
If not you should read Dhalgren.
Let me know on that.
I met him one time in an SF bookstore in the Village when he gave a talk
and nobody showed but me and the store owner.
Hell of a nice guy... amazing book.

jc & Ruth,

I go through spurts of interest & non-interest in growing plants.
Our small parcel of property is an odd and diverse collection.
We have a very nice and abundant sheld fungus growing out of one of our
many oaks.
The years of commuting took a lot of the gardening out of me.
This last year I revisited the small raised earth garden, it had been
taken over by really neat thimble-type berries.
I dug out the berries and relocated them. Then went to tomatoes and
peppers, but no ambition.
One year I grew tomatoes 15' high. They were remarkable and I had to use
a ladder to tend them.
Lots of lettuce this year, but mostly I stood in the garden eating arugula.
Next year I want to design the garden strictly for my grazing habits.
Nobody else in the house has an interest in any outdoor plants.
And this with vegetarians... you would think they would take an interest
in homegrown food.
We have a tall thistle weed that grows near the light pole and I
fertilize it.
I don't know what it is but I like it just the same.
The lawn is a mix of grass, crocuses, clover, moss and trimmed weeds
that I have not bothered to look up their name.
The fern garden did pretty well this year. I bought an Amaranth and am
waiting to see how it does.
For a while I was into miniature roses, but then my climate changed.
We have wild roses here and the domestic variety does fairly well
without tending.
I was raised collecting and cataloging wild plants.
A particular favorite is the Adder's Toungue

c-

There is no particular season. If you want to dry them, though, it is
best not to cull them in the rain.
We have spearmint at the end of the driveway and if the plants were
poking up from the snow I'd be able to go out and snip them now.
We have sage that I snip any old time I feel like it... though I don't
usually care to chew on it.
Some plants are only going to be useful for short periods of time. For
example, there is only a very brief time in which to collect Tiger Lily
petals.
They tend to twist themselves up, turn mushy, then fall to the ground.
If you miss them then you are out of luck.
Rose petals are a bit of a fix, as well, as you have to get them before
they suddenly all fall off the plant.
Rose hips, which are high in vitamin C and make for a fine tea can be
harvested through the winter into spring.
Though there is likely an optimal time for their harvest.
Herbalists/cooks, and histo presto herbalists, would grow their plants
and snip from them fresh for cooking.
Cooking with fresh herbs can be a whole different experience than using
them dried.
Sumach buds (the red ones, not the white and not poisonous) also make
for a fine tea.
You might also experiment with a food dryer particularly as something
gadgety to do on DFI to avoid other 'chores'.

 Is the car still eligible for any SCCA classes, or is it strictly club

Jim:

Not sure.  A search says their web site is down for maintenance (it is a
club track so not very professional in many respects).  Lots of stuff on 24
hour motorcycle races that took place there but I don't see much about the
car races.

http://www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/Nelson.php

It's a fast track with a long back straight followed by a wicked tight
hairpin.  It is located in a swampy area so I guess it fogs in pretty
regularly, not the best for an all-night race.  I drove past Mike Tyson's
training camp (a pretty plain farm out on a back road south of Cleveland) on
my way there.

My memories of the place include terrible toilets (took me back to my Boy
Scout days of holding it for the whole weekend until my eyes turned brown),
bumps that ruined my shocks to the point that my car was bobbing up and down
on the start-finish straight to amusement of those viewing (so I went out
and paid $1000 for double adjustable Konis which I then only used a few more
times), and trying to use a different sway bar up front to get rid of my
understeer (I think I went to oversteer as a result).  With a relatively
slow car like mine I was supposed to be able to hold it wide open all the
way down the back straight despite a kink with bumps but I don't remember if
I ever got the confidence to do that (sliding sideways at 100 plus mph in a
stock car with a bolt-in rollcage on a narrow track was not my idea of a way
to have fun)...

Kinda like the downhill straight after Turn One at Bridgehampton my buddy
told me about.

I see the SCCA ran a 12 hour race there last July and did some paving
improvements last year so I guess it is still active as a car track.  The
bikes seem to like it too but then those guys seem to race anywhere they can
get track time.

I went there at least twice by myself back in '93 and '94 and once as a crew
person in '95, I think.

A very low-tech, casual kind of place.

Bruce

I have done a lot of painting in my time but never painted copper so have
no tips to send on to you.  However, I should think that copper would be
too smooth a surface to hold paint well, usually the surface needs some
sort of roughness for the paint to cling to.  Maybe prime with one of the
automotive primers.  I'd ask at my favorite autobody shop, there must be
plenty of them in the city with all the fender benders they have there.

AhHa!! The big tracks, I've heard of several of those but have never been
to any.  I have been known to frequent the Sat eve/ Sun afternoon local
tracks but have no desire to go to the big tracks.  I'd rather watch on TV
away from the crowds, traffic and overpriced poor quality food.  Besides
you can see ever so much more on TV.  Ruth

Dentils are a classical ornament, not  Baptist.



Dan,

If our Sharpie meant classical dentils, he would'nt have written  dental.  He
was referring to a business establishment that does something  to people's
teeth.

John,
I guess that makes you an insufferable  flag-waving libertarian.  Which beats
the shit out of an insufferable  flag-waving Republican.

I'm not too hopeful for the squash bugs.  Yup.  Not just my pumpkins,
they basically went after all the squash type plants.  They even took
out a Zuchini!  What kind of critter kills Zuchini?!  THATS just plain
MEAN!  I suppose I should call someone at the Extension and ask for
some help.  I tried the chemical approach, which didn't work...that's
usually my last approach.

I just cut my catnip down when it gets too big and bushy, tie it up and
hang it from the rafters in the porch.  I have a rosemary plant in the
south window that I am trying to shape, now that I have managed to keep one
alive.  I just snip off the branches and tie them up with twine string and
hang them on a nail in the kitchen till dry then I strip it off the stems
and put in a plastic sandwich bag to use whenever.  Ruth

Ken,  I think we may have a stray copy or two of George AIKEN's "Pioneering
with Wildflowers."  And maybe a catalog from his nursery too.  Senator
AIKEN was first and foremost a nurseryman and a poltician second.  After
Senator AIKEN sold the nursery my Dad worked there for a number of years
and knew a lot about all the different wild plants.  Sadly, Dad doesn't
remember any of it now.

I have always liked wildflowers from the time I was little and my
grandmother and I used to go for walks around the farm and see the flowers.
We have arbutus, Adder's tongues, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Lady Slippers and
some others that I don't know how to spell.  When I was in grade school we
used to have wild flower contests in the spring to see who could bring in
the most different ones.  One time I went to pick a Jack-in-the-Pulpit and
it came up by the roots.  I was so upset I took it home and Grandma said to
plant it out by the steps so I did.  It came up for years but when we moved
back here I didn't see anything of it and assumed it had just died out.
Last spring I was clearing some of the weeds out of that small flower bed
and there were several Jacks, not in the exact spot, but there so
apparently it seeded itself, or whatever they do.  Ruth

OK, OK,  Who's Hawgdad that is greeted so warmly?  Where's he from?  I love
meeting folks from all over.  It's so much fun to have friends in Australia
and other far away places when I know I can't leave sunny southern Vermont.
And it WAS sunny and warm today and supposed to be even nicer tomorrow,
makes me think of gardening.  Ruth

Ruth,

We had a wonderfully record setting warm day today.  We walked the dogs
and got back just as the sun set and things started freezing up again.
I hope that weather is headed your way.  Enjoy it!

I can vouch for the catnip.  In case any of you didn't trust  her.

Yeah, we had a guy run over to us in the street and offer to bend our
fenders right then and there for $200. We said no thanks, we had a place
to be, he said he would follow us and do it for $180. We took one look
at his rat-a-tat bunged up car and drove off before he could get into it
and himself and his rig turned around to follow us.

Ruth,

That is fantastic! Jacks are a wonder of wild flowers, and rare.
I assume that they are particularly fussy.

Sounds like the fella that wheeled into the yard one day on a motorcycle
and wanted to paint the house.  I wondered if he was going to bring his
ladder on the motorcycle.  I said, "No thanks," though Lord knows it needs
it bad enough.

Which brings me to my present dilemma.  We ARE having the house painted
this coming summer and I don't know what color to paint it.  OF COURSE!!
Ralph, you've seen our house do you have any suggestions?  I know I don't
want it white or gray, it's been both in my lifetime and I didn't care for
either.  I know what I want it to look like but I don't see the colors on
the charts to make it work.  I wouldn't have any problem if it were someone
else's house but for my own I always have trouble.  Ruth

These don't seem to be fussy, there isn't even any shade for them and I
thought they were shade loving plants.  It's also not at all damp which I
supposed they required as that's where they grow in the wild.  They are not
particularly rare around here.

I'll try to get a picture of them in the spring.  Ruth

Go to the local Sherwin-Williams dealer and take a look at their Heritage
Colors;  Benjamin Moore has some sort of similar set of historic  preservation
color set.  Both companies put together a bunch of colors  (sets of a couple or
three or four or five) that go together.

There is a book called "A Century of Color" which has color illustrations  of
houses from different periods from about 1820-1920. Sherwin Williams
published it way back, and your paint dealer may have it, or perhaps the  local
library or historical society/commission.

 I don't remember the details of your house well enough to be able to  date
it from memory, but if you can figure out how to a) take and b) post a  picture
of it, you'll provide hours of entertainment for us all and you  should have
quite an argument on your hands.

But you're right about not painting it--or at least not all of  it--
white/gray again.  It needs some color in  there....contrast.  Must have contrast.

Ralph

Dear Pinheads,

You are all cordially invited to attend the American Natural Cement Conference
in Rosendale, New York, March 31 - April 2, 2005.

This unique event will bring together a wide range of experts to help today's
restoration professionals rediscover this core technology, used in the
construction of thousands of historic 19th century buildings, monuments and
structures. From 1818 to 1900, natural cement was the predominant hydraulic
binder used in large masonry and early concrete structures in North America.

The program will include distinguished presenters and demonstrators, covering
topics including:

History
Geology
Mine and Kiln Tours
Petrography
Engineering
Restoration Architecture
Masonry Trades
Chemistry

If your work involves the restoration and preservation of 19th century masonry
and concrete structures, this is a "must-attend" event. For complete program
information and registration materials, please visit the conference web page
at:

http://www.rosendalecement.net/html/american_natural_cement_confer.html

The conference is cosponsored by Century House Historical Society and the
Association for Preservation Technology Northeast Chapter. The core two-day
program is pre-registered with AIA/CES for 12 LU's. The optional third-day
Geology tour and Hands-On Workshop are each registered for an additional 5
LU's.

Additional information is also available by contacting us at:

 It wasn't I, over the weekend I realized I have to till the garden, and get
the tomatoes in the ground by the first of the month.

Thanks John.  I will remember that about the sunflowers.  BTW, if you find
a cure for those cussed beetles that attack your pumpkins let me know, they
eat my summer squash.  Ruth

Jim, The first of WHAT month???  Hereabouts it's the first of JUNE before
it's safe to plant tomatoes.  Do you plant seeds direct in the garden or
have you got your plants started already?  Ruth

I found a home for this book, the Historic District Council, I think I
heard about them on this list.  I looked them up on the web and wrote to
them and a Mr. Simeon BANKOFF wrote back that they would be happy to have
the book so I will send it to them as soon as I can find a box big enough.

Jim must be a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggg ways south of you and me
Ruth.

I think first of June is regarded as acceptable around here, but we had
frost at the June last year and up north, I don't think they ever put
those covers for their tomato plants too far from the garden.

Ruth:

 March, you can usually go into about mid to late April, but if you do, at
times the daily temperature gets too high, and the plants won't set. I
purchase sprouts, which are starting to show up at the stores already. Heck
I'm already pulling broadleaf weeds out of the back yard.

Jim, The first of WHAT month???  Hereabouts it's the first of JUNE before
it's safe to plant tomatoes.  Do you plant seeds direct in the garden or

a. Definitely going to attend this conference

A new section has been added to the Historic HomeWorks Forum:

Tradespeople & Contractors

You can participate at:

http://historichomeworks.com/forum/index.php

The new section is for tradespeople and contractors to announce their
business and services. They can automatically get an email when someone
wants to know more about their work.

Building owners can find out who does what, ask questions and let
everyone know when they have found someone who knows how to work on
their fine old place.

This new, no-cost no-obligation service is offered  by Historic Homeworks.

I'm in need of some pithy quotes, generally related to preservation,
but what ain't?  Any suggestions?

Anyone know if it was Clarence Darrow who asked if someone would tear
down the law to get at the devil and when answered in the affirmative
asked what would be used for defense when the Devil turned around and
came after the pursuer?  Any idea where I can find that quote?

Thanks.

Anyone know if it was Clarence Darrow who asked if someone would tear
down the law to get at the devil and when answered in the affirmative
asked what would be used for defense when the Devil turned around and
came after the pursuer?  Any idea where I can find that quote?

Thanks.

The year 2007 will mark the 40th anniversary of the landmark
1967 Whitehill Report of the National Trust Committee on Professional
and Public Education for Historic Preservation and Restoration.  For
almost forty years, the preservation movement has grown and developed in
ways that could not have been imagined by the authors of the Whitehill
Report.  The evolution of the trades has been a significant part of that
process.


The International Trades Education Initiative is committed to creating
measurable, achievable, and sustainable models to continue that course
into the 21st century.  In cooperation with the Preservation Trades
Network, Inc (PTN), an international group of preservation industry
leaders, trades representatives, and educators are working to develop
the Trades Education Initiative.  PTN is in the process of developing a
Trades Education Directory cataloging existing academic, vocational, and
apprenticeship programs.  The International Trades Education Symposium
(ITES) will take place at Belmont Technical College in St. Clairsville,
Ohio on October 5-6 2005, in conjunction with the 9th annual
International Trades Education Workshop (IPTW) October 7-9, 2005.

Spending a lot of time at the Mark Twain house these days. Here are a few  of

"The lack of money is the root of all evil."

My favorite Twain-ism: That's the remarkable thing about Science. You get such
a rich return of conjecture from such a trifling investment of fact.

We're turning the kitchen wing, which was variously a boarding house,
dormitory offices and general crap space, back into an interpreted kitchen. The
butler's pantry had mahogany cabinets. Way cool...

Interpreted kitchen sounds good to me.

Hope the coal stove is still there; I've seen a couple of (or maybe  only
one) big mothers like I assume he had, and don't imagine they're easy  to come
by.  If you're interpreting it, it must either be there or you've  got one on
ice somewhere. I remember mahogany cabinets in the  bathrooms.

What a house.  You lucky fuck.

I could probably uproot weeds too, if I wanted to use a snow shovel and a
pick-axe.  Predictions of anywhere from 2" to 24" of "white gold" here
tomorrow.  It'll be good for the ski areas coming just a day before the
weekend.  Tow truck drivers really love a storm like this.  Ruth

I am not going to attend.  That does not mean I am not dreaming of how
lovely it would be to attend, I just know I cannot leave here for that
long.  Ruth

I think we're all lucky fucks. The coal stove was gone but someone donated
one to them. One of the cooler things was finding the speaking tube holes
(filled) on the kitchen wall. One of MT's writings is a note to Susie, his
daughter, telling her to go to the speaking tube in the kitchen so that Santa  Claus
could call her... I love this crap. It's way cool going into the attic and
seeing his shaving cup and other personal stuff.

You sure as hell are.  It's a miracle somebody had one the  right size.

I also think speaking tubes are neat as hell.  Do you guys  have the
mouthpieces for them, and do you know where the other ends of the  speaking tubes are?
 I suppose you could find them with xrays or metal  detectors and boroscopes
or something.  But to have MT's letters  talking about the ones in his house,
and finding them.....hot damn.

On the bldg I worked on in Phx in Arch School, we found the  speaking tubes
but no mountpieces, and nobody knew what they were.  After I  moved to Jersey
City, I found out about them (several houses in our neighborhood  still had
'em), and gave a pair of mouthpieces to the house in  Phoenix.

Wish you still had some. The holes have been filled in and the tubes
removed. We're putting back mouthpieces and can later refit tubes. I am having a
hell of a time finding mouthpieces - I've even looked at websites in the UK. If
you hear (no pun here) of any, please let me know. I'll take you there and buy
 you lunch at the Robert Morgenstern visitor center.

Mr. T,

I picked one up on ebay or $75 or so (with whistle) --tell it to search for
speaking tubes (I'm already watching for them and will watch for you if you
want).  Most of what you'll get is some Brit's colelction of nautical  speaking
tubes, but now and then an American residential one shows up.
Also my bud from Jersey City might be persuaded to part w/ some for SUCH a
worthy cause.  I hesitate to ask how many you need, but lemme know.

Ralph

I keep a little journal of my favorite quotes. Not as funny as some you guys
have sent, but I like 'em.

"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present
delight, nor for present use alone; let it be such work as our decendents
will thank us for."
-John Ruskin

"The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of
a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows,
the bannisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of
the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls."
-Italo Calvino Invisible Cities

"Sometimes I see signs on walls saying 'Kill the Rich,' Clem said. And
sometimes 'Kill the Rich' has been crossed out, and 'Harm the Rich' written
underneath. A clear gain for civilization I would say."
-Donald Barthelme Snow White

"And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until
gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch
sailors' eyes-- a fresh green breast of the New World. Its vanished trees, the
trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to
the last and greatest of all human dreams; for in a transitory enchanted moment
man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled in
an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face
for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for
wonder."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby

Ralph-

Any help would be great. We only need two.
I lived in a house in Chestnut Hill, Pa, for a few years where we had them
(Arthur Carles house). I never got over playing with the things. It was fun
making them whistle while unsuspecting friends were in the house.

I appreciate your suggestions. On to Ebay!

The whistle, as you presumably saw, is in fact a porcelain "door"  mounted on
a hinge.  You open  the door, by pushing on a wire  lever, to talk and to
listen; the air goes through the tube (about 7/8"  diameter soldered light-gauge
"tin" of some sort, rolled into tubes (I have a  section of it about 6' long,
but don't know standard original length) and comes  out through a porcelain
(or metal) mouthpiece (not unlike a Sousaphone  mouthpiece) which also serves as
an earpiece where the other person (ie  Twain's daughter what's-her-name;
started with an S, I think, or maybe O  Olivia???, or is that Chrif'f dau?) hears
you talk.  The door has a hole  about 3/16" dia in the middle, and is
ordinarily held in the closed  position by a spring in the hinge.  You push the door
open on your end,  blow, and the air coming out the other end makes a
whistling sound as it passes  through the hole.

Perhaps someone smarter than I can find and post a picture of a speaking
tube, because this description is not going to help the unenlightened masses, of
whom there are many.  Maybe esteemed Twybil can help, either with
illustration or  with the description.

Between coal stoves, speaking tubes and gas light, I am a hopeless
retro-tech junkie.

I'm afraid they will, unfortunately.  They are the main campus of what is
now Landmark College, the only post secondary degree granting institution
for dyslexics in the country.  Bill Cosby's son went there.  It was
originally the campus of Windham College and I think the founder was a
friend of Stone's.  Ruth

They should stay there.

Since the volume of the entire tube apparatus must be at least 50x that of
the volume of air a human can expell into the system, and since there are five
or six outlets, all with open "whistle holes", each of which must pass enough
air to produce this sound, I am still bemused at how this really works.  I blew
into this guy's tube on 162nd Street and didn't hear a thing.

But Ralph has a lot of experience blowing, so I believe him.       yrs.  O2

Have you tried contacting Otis Elevator of United Technologies? I think they
have an archives department.  I have seen a few elevator upgrades recently
where the machines controls and cables were replaced but the cabs were
restored like in the Chrysler Building but not faithful restoration probably
due to safety,  speed and parts available.

Restoration of 1935 elevator cab in Winnipeg

I am carrying out research for the restoration of a historic
elevator cab interior, installed by Otis-Fensom in 1935 in Winnipeg.
Certain elements of the elevator cab are now missing (flooring,
octagonal light fixture).

Can anyone provide information about the flooring product that was
used, Dominion Rubber Tile floor, and corresponding colours to go
with colour-specification codes T35, T65, T101 and T53.

The wood elevator cab interiors were fabricated by the Newbigging
Cabinet Co.--I have been unable to trace this company.

I would be interested in any readers contacting me about restoration
projects carried out in historic elevators anywhere in Canada or the
US.

I'm not entirely sure how the system works, in terms of volume held vs how much you blow into it when you speak, but having used speaking tubes, I can tell you they do indeed work---assuming that there's somebody at the other end.

This is despite the several references to the speaking tube on the Californian and it's captain's failure to rescue the people on the Titanic (the Californian's speaking tube is also seen in one of the Titanic movies.)  Speaking tubes appear to have been used on ships as late as WWII.

As interesting as the house on 162nd Street was, I'd be careful doing ANYTHING with my lips, especially in realtion to anything remotely described as tubular, with those guys.  If you get my drift.

Will continue to look for speaking tube literature.  Ebay has patent literature on them now and then, and if I could get a digital camera, I could conceivably post a picture.

I will never forget my ride in the original elevator of the 19-story
Exchange Building in Memphis, for which we were preparing rehab plans.
The building had probably been closed for 15 years when I had my ride
about 1980. Open cage, manually-operated, installed before modern safety
codes and governors and all that.

Quick. Really quick. Flattening on the way up. Hair-raising on the way
down.

ABT (Association for Blowing Technology, Association Internationale pour
la soufflante et ses techniques) guidelines indicate that when blowing
into a guy's tube that a guy should remove both thumbs from both ears of
blower.

Twybil,

Possibly you could help me while you are there to satisfy my quest for
knowledge as to the authenticity of the collection of books in the house.

I'm fairly clear that they are not actual copies of Twain's books, as
there are people out and about tracking his personal books, quite often
through his hand written marginalia. What I would like to know is to
what degree the books in the house were selected as representative of
books that Twain would actually have owned/read, or was the collection
more loose akin to the 'furniture' books one would see in an eatery/brew
pub? The lighting is dark in the house and the hustle through is a bit
quick... no time for browsing with greasy hands on the artifacts, and no
context what w/ the gaggle of AARP oohers & ahers for irreverent questions.

If even you can figure out who selected the collection and connect us so
that I can pester them I would be humbly grateful. I want to write a
histo presto tall tale along the line of the books Twain may never have
read.

Thanks,

Sir:

Have a call in to my bud in Joisey City, but didn't hear from him  today.  I
will, however, see him tomorrow.  Are you looking for two  matching
mouthpieces to sit next to each other in the kitchen, or for two that  don't need to
match for use in remote locations?  And from what you  said  about mark and Susie
and Santa, I assume you need them with the  whistle diaphragm, which doesn't
make life easier.

Tw,

Bless you!

While he is up there is that the time when the remainder of the JHP
office will pick up and move to the new digs?

When I was a kid I had this paranoia that when my mother went across the
street to visit the neighbor it was not her returning later to our house
but our neighbor in my mothers body. But then, we never got into a
tradition of throwing trees out of the windows.

...but the Traditional Timberframe Research and Advisory Group annual

Py,

Glad to hear you and yours are leaning this way and truly hope you will be
able to make it. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Average high temps in late March/Early April are around 50, but we've already
had a couple of days warmer than that and will again this coming week. If it's
an early Spring, as they predict, we could see 60's or even 70's. Looking
forward to meeting the Peanut, too. I'm sure you are quite a sight together.

Regards,

Mike

Went to see the opening of the Christo's "Gates" in Central Park at 8 AM this
morning.  Big orange metal portals have been erected along the paths in the
last few days, and this morning they started dropping the orange material.

I had thought it would billow from portal to portal, making long tunnels of
orange, but its actually sort of a hanging curtain effect, the portal perhaps 8
feet wide and 15 feet high, with perhaps 7 feet of fabric released downwards
(by pulling velcro tapes with long hooks) and fluttering down from the top
cross bar.  (Note to self: next time, get hooks, go out at 2 AM night before,
release a dozen or two.)

I had sort of thought it would be like the  Park Avenue Christmas tree
lighting "Let there be light", all at once, but this is low-tech, teams moved from
portal to portal (perhaps 4? dozen in all around the huge oval of the Great
Lawn) with long poles to yank the velco fastener open.  Since it was windy, and
since the velcro fastener loop waved in the breeze, this took some doing -
perhaps 15 tries on the one we saw until the person finally grabbed it, pulled it
across. (Note to self: bring spare hook, in case mine falls out and gets away,
as it did this morning to one team.)

Once released, the fabric was brought down by a long cardboard tube, perhaps
6 inches wide, which fell free at the lowest point of the fabric.  They had to
keep the crowds well away.

It was chilly - the Barkhorns and Grays ran together this morning - and we
became rather chilled, waiting waiting waiting, even though the sun was breaking
through the wintry-bare trees.   When we left only four of five portals
within eyesight of the great lawn had been freed.

What was astonishing was the number of people it attracted - we ran into Lisa
Cobey, the Golanns, Carol France, Stuart Johnson, Bettina Nelson, Mikel Witte
 and half a dozen others we know.   The path around the Great Lawn was, in
spots, impassible, at least with a large poodle.  Must have been at least 1000
people on the walkways just surrounding it, and another one or two hundred on
Belvedere Castle looking out, flashbulbs popping whenever a portal was
released, like Madison Square Garden when Billy Joel waves.

Of course, we haven't seen the Gates in fully display, and perhaps it really
is deeply irrelevant, or even annoying, but what was wonderful was how it
enlived people and got them out together.   "People will find their own meaning in
it.  It is just art - it has no purpose" as the Christos have said.
Evasive, yet wonderful.   And the event was, truly, unmediated - no one had any idea
of what to expect, or how to react.

Made me think of the new $41 million Duccio at the Metropolitan - I have
never seen so many people in the high ital ren galleries there.   For that matter,
the main front of the Met, which is being cleaning, was absolutely engulfed
in scaffolding and netting now - not unlike the Christos' Reichstag project.
Coincidentally, article in the Sunday (tomorrow) Real Estate Section of Times
by a noted historian has a photo of the Met under wraps.

Best to all,  Christopher

Hmmmm.

Described this event -- actually the gates themselves, sight  unseen, and the
artists' oeuvre as a (w)hole -- to new squeeze as "a load  of shit."  No
mincer of words, I.

Based on far better-informed musings and reportage of noted historian, I am
inclined to revise my (still sight-unseen) description to: a load of shit
wrapped in saffron-colored hype.

I was going to ask the purpose of all this but then I see there isn't one.
I don't get a very clear picture of this but it sounds to me like someone
has draped a bunch of orange rags all around a park.  How is this sort of
thing allowed to happen in a public place?  Don't they have a parks
commission or something down there in civilization?  Ruth

Hey anyone  know about this  or where I could see pictures  ?

stonemasons (dry wall specialists from the UK) who are constructing a
(environmental art) sculpture -- I guess you'd call it -- created by noted  British
artist, Andy Goldsworthy. They're using the traditional flat  stones/slabs to
make series of domes at the National Gallery of  Art. They'll be done in a few
weeks, but people are already admiring the way the  stonemasons work. A bit
like poetry in motion,

Modern art folks. Suggest experiencing with an open mind and good humor. It
is also okay if you don't like it. Should be fun and beautiful tho. Risk
taking on the unveiling is an added bonus - doesn't anyone enjoy the rush of
taking a risk? Remember, Michaelangelo hid in a Florence basement cause he
pissed off the Pope. In the early '90s I got to see some incredible sketches
on the walls down there cause he ran out of paper - all because he took an
artistic risk. The modern era has changed the risk threshold as well as the
meaning and experience of art.

I was going to ask the purpose of all this but then I see there isn't one.
I don't get a very clear picture of this but it sounds to me like someone
has draped a bunch of orange rags all around a park.  How is this sort of
thing allowed to happen in a public place?  Don't they have a parks
commission or something down there in civilization?  Ruth





At 12:14 PM -0500 2/12/05, Met History wrote:
Went to see the opening of the Christo's "Gates" in Central Park at 8 AM
this morning.  Big orange metal portals have been erected along the paths
in the last few days, and this morning they started dropping the orange
material.

I had thought it would billow from portal to portal, making long tunnels of
orange, but its actually sort of a hanging curtain effect, the portal
perhaps 8 feet wide and 15 feet high, with perhaps 7 feet of fabric
released downwards  (by pulling velcro tapes with long hooks) and
fluttering down from the top cross bar.  (Note to self: next time, get
hooks, go out at 2 AM night before, release a dozen or two.)

I had sort of thought it would be like the  Park Avenue Christmas tree
lighting "Let there be light", all at once, but this is low-tech, teams
moved from portal to portal (perhaps 4? dozen in all around the huge oval
of the Great Lawn) with long poles to yank the velco fastener open.  Since
it was windy, and since the velcro fastener loop waved in the breeze, this
took some doing - perhaps 15 tries on the one we saw until the person
finally grabbed it, pulled it across. (Note to self: bring spare hook, in
case mine falls out and gets away, as it did this morning to one team.)

Once released, the fabric was brought down by a long cardboard tube,
perhaps 6 inches wide, which fell free at the lowest point of the fabric.
They had to keep the crowds well away.

It was chilly - the Barkhorns and Grays ran together this morning - and we
became rather chilled, waiting waiting waiting, even though the sun was
breaking through the wintry-bare trees.   When we left only four of five
portals within eyesight of the great lawn had been freed.

What was astonishing was the number of people it attracted - we ran into
Lisa Cobey, the Golanns, Carol France, Stuart Johnson, Bettina Nelson,
Mikel Witte  and half a dozen others we know.   The path around the Great
Lawn was, in spots, impassible, at least with a large poodle.  Must have
been at least 1000 people on the walkways just surrounding it, and another
one or two hundred on Belvedere Castle looking out, flashbulbs popping
whenever a portal was released, like Madison Square Garden when Billy Joel
waves.

Of course, we haven't seen the Gates in fully display, and perhaps it
really is deeply irrelevant, or even annoying, but what was wonderful was
how it enlived people and got them out together.   "People will find their
own meaning in it.  It is just art - it has no purpose" as the Christos
have said.   Evasive, yet wonderful.   And the event was, truly, unmediated
- no one had any idea of what to expect, or how to react.

Made me think of the new $41 million Duccio at the Metropolitan - I have
never seen so many people in the high ital ren galleries there.   For that
matter, the main front of the Met, which is being cleaning, was absolutely
engulfed in scaffolding and netting now - not unlike the Christos'
Reichstag project.   Coincidentally, article in the Sunday (tomorrow) Real
Estate Section of Times by a noted historian has a photo of the Met under
wraps.

Best to all,  Christopher

We prefer our antique (histo-presto content) enamel chamber pot. It's
much easier to hit and less likely to cause the Chinese finger trap
effect.

I suppose they could have feed .01 percent of the world's hungry, or put
.001 percent of the homeless up for a night in Motel 6, or given .0001
percent of the world's uneducated a one room school house, but instead
they chose to give uncounted millions a reminder that whimsy is still a
part of human nature.

What they should have done is purchase $20 million dollars worth or
saffron colored prophylactics and sent them to third world countries.
Since they obviously would have no idea what they were for they would
blow them up and decorate their villages with them. Now that would be
global art!

Ruth, Ruth, Ruth,

Come down and join me and Rudy Giuliani ["friend of Bernie Kerik,  foe of
Piss Christ"] on the new Art Commission.  Maybe we can resuscitate  Fat Tony
Comstock [my late neighbor and founder of the Committee for the  Suppression of
Vice] and get him in on it, too.
We got to hear on the radio about how Christo and Jeanne Claude  (that would
be Mrs. Christo) paid the $3 million or $30 million or whatever the  hell this
cost all by themselves--ain't no corporation gonna tell THEM how to  make
art-- by selling Christo's squiggles for $30 Large a page (one assumes  that's an

A tall tale, not a comprehensive list. A short list for brevity. Sort of
along the lines of "Why I have Not Written Any of My Books," by Marcel
Benabou. Or, more to home, I did not write or read, "Pillars of the Earth."

NO, but my friend Uncle Max is --

“It was shiny cloth on the Reichstag, like aluminum foil clouds. This
artist guy, Crisco..."

"Christo, Uncle Max, Chris-toe... Christo and Jeanne-Claude..."

"Yeah, yeah yeah... I know I know," as he lifts a set of bricks onto the
boards with his tongs.

"...they wrap all kinds of things. It is mostly cloth."

"You ask me, Ulrich, he does it to attract women so he can bed them."

"How can you say that Uncle Max, his wife is his partner?"

"Don't tweak the line, Ulrich, step back and watch where you lean. Hand
me that level."

"We need to keep up the work with Joe and Charlie."

"I know, I know. They are swine masons, not even German. Not fit for a
horse barn... Oh, but he is a smart French boy, this Crisco, does it
right in front of her dainty nose."

"You can't know that," as Ulrich lifts to pour water from the bucket to
temper his mortar, "Besides, they are not French."

"And they say when he put cloth around islands he made love to mermaids."

"You're making a bad joke."

"You telling me the Reichstag is not full of gaudy nymphs!"

"Uncle Max, you exaggerate."

"Don't listen to the raving of an old mule past his use. Go there and
see for yourself."

"Ok, ok, I will."

"They saunter past every day wiggling their fat hips. Oh-la! German
women! The weak little German sun wants to be bright but when they pass
on the street their haunches drown out all the light and the German
manhood is half blinded. With one eye we peek around the folds of her
skirts..."

"Enough!"

"They are like good horses, Ulrich, good fine strong horses."

"Keep to the trowel old man, and watch your mortar."

"A real artist would want to hoist their bridle, quickly, boomp boomp,
goodbye!"

"I could be an artist, a far better artist than Christo, and without
your decadent horses."

"Then quick quick he will have to trot away from their juicy babies."

"Aaargh!"

"Good strong German babies, like you."

"Ahya ahya ahya," shouting to drown out his uncle's litany.

"The greatest artist will spawn hundreds of babies and God will make
them all lift bricks and slap their arses with mortar," he swiftly lifts
up to butter a tan brick of thousands. "There will be a thousand
thousand brick outhouses stretched from here to Barcelona all wrapped in
brightly colored caterpillar shit. The little farts will sit up late
into darkness at the gardens to suck Weizenbock and remember the best
days, the Grand Expedition of the slippery brick..."

"Watch the line, Uncle, your bricks waver."

"A harness of flashy silk, even shiny nylon hides many flaws."

"Keep the line straight before you go blind."

"You see there how he never does a fachwerk barn. Do you see him working
a farm?"

"What does a farm have to do with Christo's art?"

"Put expensive cloth over a wooden shack the chickens will run away."

"Christo is a conceptual artist."

"Blauk blauk blauk the chicks will run from the darkened sky. Artists
are coo coo, son, they are prophets with twelve-inch egos no longer than
my middle finger. Like this, see."

"Keep your finger to the trowel and speak less, uncle."

"When he puts a veil on a mountain he gets..."

"Shut up!"

"If you had a choice, which you do not, would you rather have a mermaid,
a law clerk in heels or a nanny goat?"

"Stop!"

"So, Ulrich, give me another reason a grown man would play with soiled
cloth."

(frm Wrapped Autos by Gabriel Orgrease)

 From another friend-

Going tomorrow to get my mother a new washing machine......  She has a
couple of Dutch women visiting her now -- the wife of a former boarder
who's remained very friendly with her.  They went to New York yesterday
to see The Gates in Central Park and were interviewed by the news,
saying "we came all the way from Holland to see this" (liars), but you
may have caught them on TV.  Beautiful six-foot women in their 30's.

So, what's the dope on the structure of the "Windsor" skyscraper in Madrid?
What is at issue in a possible collapse, now that the fire is out?

DENDROCHRONOLOGY IN THE NORTHEAST:

A RESEARCH TOOL COMES OF AGE.

A Symposium at Historic Deerfield, Deerfield, Massachusetts,

co-sponsored by Historic New England.

Thursday, May 19 and Friday, May 20, 2005

*

Scientists and scholars of various disciplines will gather to report on
recent advances in dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating studies, in the
Northeast and the development of master chronologies for various species
of trees. Speakers’ topics will include the composition of the region’s
historical forests, the history of dendrochronology studies in the
Northeast, cultural impacts of historical climate variation,
explanations of methodology, regional case studies, and how dating
results are helping to elucidate the region’s architectural and cultural
history. Through the presentations of this symposium it will become
clear that the science of dendrochronology has moved into the mainstream
of analytical tools available for architectural research. The program
will be of interest to dendrochronologists, architectural and cultural
historians, archeologists, preservationists, restoration specialists,
homeowners, and all those interested in the accurate interpretation of
New England’s buildings and the history they reflect.

Speakers:

**

*Edward Cook, Paul Krusic, William Wright* - Lamont-Doherty Tree-Ring
Laboratory

**

*Daniel Miles, Michael Worthington* – Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory

**

*David Stahle* – University of Arkansas, Geoscience Department

Who is Jenita?  Why did she lose custody of her baby? And why does that
make you wish you were a Hindu?  Ruth

I never have heard of dendrochronology before but I do so hope some  you
folk can come to this because it is less than an hour from me so I could
get there to meet you all.  Ruth

PS:  I could even take you out to meet some of our native trees.

Danger to passersby and neighboring buildings. However, the building's
(presumably concrete) core seems to have stood.  What I thought was  interesting
was that there's still a construction crane on top of  the  bldg.

I predict a strengthening of whatever European Bldg Code there is, but that
was also my first thought when I saw a straight band of smoke coming off the
WTC.

It's counting tree rings, and dating things built of wood on the basis of
tree rings.  You might be better off staying home.

Hello Michael,
It was a surprise to see the work.  I have not followed any of the media
attention, but if is anything like Running Fence, you have to see it to
know it.  I interviewed Christo and his beautiful French wife in 1975
and then worked on Running Fence in 1976 as a watch guard during the two
weeks it was up.  It paid almost double per hour that any construction
job available in the bay area and all you did was sit in the hills of
Marin and watch to scenery.  A lot of their work is about fund raising
and politics, the aesthetic is the mean ( a barometer in time an
ephemeral marker of the event and the paintings, photos and art leading
up to and after the event are the means by which the work is afforded).

I saw photos of the gates, but now, I guess, I will need to do a little
research, maybe even go to New York!
Best,
Leland

Ralph,
Dead, no, slammed with deadlines, yes.  How long is the installation up?
Did you see it?  Sorry to hear about the wreck.  Can you imagine
wrapping presents for a living?

It's also how Cecil Hewett proved his hypothesis that many historic
buildings in England that were generally believed to be 100-200 years
old were actually from the 12th and 13th centuries.

Ho hum.

Oh, I knew what it was, just never knew it had a name.  We used to count
tree rings all the time when I was a kid and Dad would cut trees for
whatever he needed wood for.  There's still a sawmill in the woods behind
the house.  We're also members of the Woodlot Owners Association.  You city
folk probably don't have enough woods to have a Woodlot  Owners
Association.   Ruth

It's counting tree rings, and dating things built of wood on the basis of
tree rings.  You might be better off staying home.

I take it none of you folks are panting after coming up for this
scintilating event?  This is really the best time of year to visit the
area, after mud season, before tourist season.  Come on up!!!!  Ruth






It's also how Cecil Hewett proved his hypothesis that many historic
buildings in England that were generally believed to be 100-200 years old
were actually from the 12th and 13th centuries.



Ho hum.

Dendrochronology is the counting of tree rings but the simplicity of the
concept stops there.  To practice Dendrochronology, you have to establish a
reliable calendar for a species of wood, Oak is generally chosen in southern
New England, in the area where you want to date timbers.  You do that by
taking repeated borings for analysis.  When the samples from different
buildings and timbers in the test area can be dated reliably the test area
can be expanded until the calendar no longer works.  The greater Boston
calendar area has been reliable in Johnston,  RI, 50 miles south while not
reliable northwest of Boston by a lessor distance.  It is a trial and error
thing.  It is reliable within an area unless timbers were used from outside
the calendar area.  As forests were cut off materials had to be obtained
elsewhere.  So, there may be a date where Dendrochronology may no longer be
effective.  What has been discovered is that trees may be harvested and not
used at the same time. There was a four variation in the dates of timbers
used in a barn on Boston's north shore.  These types of results help us
understand the methods employed three centuries ago.

$750 worth of drill bits on T&M?  So did the Owner have to pay for the bits as a consumable product, or not have to pay because this was means and methods?

I knew Lamont Doherty does earthquakes, but didn't know they drill trees.  Have they gone back to just earthquakes?

No, lucky for us it was NOT t&m. I felt sorry for them, but hey, a  buck's a
buck. They were able to pooh-pooh the local mythic "17th century"  origins of
the barn, closely dating it to around 1788 - late for the type but  making
sense for the foundation it was on and other features at the site. Very  helpful.

They have an extensive dendro colllection - Hudson Valley and North  Joisey.

Out here, in BC Canada Forestry Land where the softwood lumber so dreaded
and so unfairly taxed by the US Government originates, we use preselected
"Datum Trees" throughout the Province for comparison, working with the
sample tree as close as possible to the site of the source of the log or
timber to be dated.   Samples from those "Datum Trees" become shared markers
for the profession.   The skill is in discerning and accommodating the
natural variations that creep into the ring forms of living samples,
sometimes clouding or confusing but rarely totally preventing an analysis.
A project for a dendrochronologist working here at the moment is the study
of growth patterns and incidence of forest fires over time compared with
climate changes over time.

In the rain forest on the coast, they are blessed with those big trees that
are well over a thousand years old, and many museums have slabs with labels
pinned on showing when Charlemagne ruled or Columbus pissed in the ocean.
I had a friend who was secretly making a very special coffee table for her
family from a large slab like that, for many weeks meticulously hand sanding
the end grain to a smooth polish before oiling it and putting the finished
table quietly in the living room as a surprise for her parents.   When her
father, a rustic logger of the old school, arrived home from work that day,
he strode into the house with his axe as usual and simply planted it in the
convenient piece of wood in the living room on his way to the kitchen.
Never noticed, she said.

God lives in the details.

This print is a quality reproduction of a page from an original general sto=
re merchandise catalog published between 1912 to 1918 by J. H. Ashdown Hard=
ware Co. Limited Calgary Winnipeg Saskatoon established 1869. The pictures =
are crisp and show fine details just like the original catalog's black and =
white engravings.

This catalog covered everything a homesteader needed at the turn of the cen=
tury including apparel tools furniture toys guns appliances baby carriages =
hardware household linens jewelry watches carriages saddles etc . We have r=
eproductions of selected pages that are of general interest to collectors o=
f early 1900s Americana. Similar to the old Sears Roebuck and Co. catalogs =
except these were kept at the general store and not widely circulated.

The displayed image above is a low-resolution graphic optimized for quick w=
eb display. The actual print you receive will be a detailed high-resolution=
 print free of any defects or watermarks.

The artwork is printed in black on archival quality acid-free 8 1/2" x 11" =
simulated parchment stock replicating the authentic look and feel of the or=
iginal catalog page that is now over 90 years old.  The actual artwork imag=
e will fit perfectly in a certificate display frame (8 1/2" x 11").=20

This prestigious museum quality print is perfect for framing or mounting as=
 you wish in any home or office as decorative wall art. Keep for yourself o=
r great for gift giving to the avid collector. Great conversational piece e=
specially the pricing from yesteryear! Fascinating reading!

You will receive a high-quality reproduction print of the actual catalog pa=
ge not the item described in the catalog. This print is perfect for the col=
lector who wants historical background on the above item. Some of the text =
may be hard to read but the illustrations are enhanced to meet or exceed th=
e original catalog advertising images and at the same time maintaining an a=
uthentic look from that era.

The following information was scanned and read with OCR directly from a cop=
y of the original catalog page. We apologize for any difficulty in reading =
the OCR text; however it will give you a very good idea of the information =

This print is a quality reproduction of a page from an original general sto=
re merchandise catalog published between 1912 to 1918 by J. H. Ashdown Hard=
ware Co. Limited Calgary Winnipeg Saskatoon established 1869. The pictures =
are crisp and show fine details just like the original catalog's black and =
white engravings.

This catalog covered everything a homesteader needed at the turn of the cen=
tury including apparel tools furniture toys guns appliances baby carriages =
hardware household linens jewelry watches carriages saddles etc . We have r=
eproductions of selected pages that are of general interest to collectors o=
f early 1900s Americana. Similar to the old Sears Roebuck and Co. catalogs =
except these were kept at the general store and not widely circulated.

The displayed image above is a low-resolution graphic optimized for quick w=
eb display. The actual print you receive will be a detailed high-resolution=
 print free of any defects or watermarks.

The artwork is printed in black on archival quality acid-free 8 1/2" x 11" =
simulated parchment stock replicating the authentic look and feel of the or=
iginal catalog page that is now over 90 years old.  The actual artwork imag=
e will fit perfectly in a certificate display frame (8 1/2" x 11").=20

This prestigious museum quality print is perfect for framing or mounting as=
 you wish in any home or office as decorative wall art. Keep for yourself o=
r great for gift giving to the avid collector. Great conversational piece e=
specially the pricing from yesteryear! Fascinating reading!

You will receive a high-quality reproduction print of the actual catalog pa=
ge not the item described in the catalog. This print is perfect for the col=
lector who wants historical background on the above item. Some of the text =
may be hard to read but the illustrations are enhanced to meet or exceed th=
e original catalog advertising images and at the same time maintaining an a=
uthentic look from that era.

The following information was scanned and read with OCR directly from a cop=
y of the original catalog page. We apologize for any difficulty in reading =
the OCR text; however it will give you a very good idea of the information =
included on the catalog page that you will receive. Please note you will re=
ceive the page shown above not the entire catalog or actual items..

from the roof of NYAC [Chrifto'f  favorite place] next week; my friend the mgr
there says it looks like a bunch  of construction fencing (or an orange
carwash) from his 12th floor office at  59/7th, but that it looks marginally better
from the 24th floor roof,  where you can see more of it at once.  My
colleague also mentioned  that the color is EXACTLY the same as orange construction

Can you imagine wrapping presents  for a living? Doesn't sound like any prize

Ruth,

We have a Property Owners Association, it includes a few trees, but
mostly it is determined by the shoreline. I assume that you have
property where you live?

Ralph,
Had a chance to read the earlier posts on the Gates...  I know a little
more.  And you are right, Jeanne-Claude is not the droid I was looking
for.  Thanks for the laugh.
Bestest,

All,

I've been busy having adventures and despite any appearances have not
had a whole lot of time for e-mail or writing.

Adventure #1 is that since November when I attended the Stone Foundation
symposium in Charleston, SC on behalf of the Preservation Trades Network
(PTN), and with a request to help them develop their organization I have
been working with these fine folks. In particular I have been working
with Tomas Lipps, editor of Stonexus, and getting to know him in a
perfectly jovial and playful manner -- including his soundly beating me
in 8 ball each time that we meet. Stonexus, by the way, on occasion
publishes snippets from Pyrate's Stonemason's Journal. The upshot of all
of this is that the Stone Foundation will be holding their 2005
symposium concurrent with the PTN's International Preservation Trades
Workshops at Saint Clairsville, OH in October (along w/ the
International Trades Education Symposium the two days prior). It has
long been a dream and desire of mine to bring together the community of
stonemasons similar to that of the Timber Framers Guild... and in large
measure my involvement over the years with PTN has been one with an eye
to stonemasonry. The Stone Foundation per se has been in existence for
something like 20 years as an unincorporated group of friends of like
interest and love of structural stonework. At the symposium in
Charleston I met some incredibly fine folks in the trade, including Ian
Cramb whom Pyrate has been telling me for years that I need to meet.
Well, we finally did meet and I was enthralled. I have also met folks
who spent their childhoods scrambling around in the stone bed of a
crick, same as myself. It is the playing with rocks and boulders that I
enjoy and it is a pleasure to network with people of a similar heart.

Adventure #2 is more recent and involves Rudy. Our having moved, with
friends, Edison Building #11 a few years back it has put us on the map I
suppose for such electrifying adventures and through one connection
leading to another last week we met with a fellow in NJ that owns an
Edison Schoolhouse that was originally, but not currently, located at
the 'other' Edison, that is, near Ogdensburg (northwest portion of NJ a
bit East of High Point) at the former Ogden Mines on Sparta Mountain. We
took a look at the wood frame structure and have deemed it worthy,
sturdy and moveable. Thomas Edison during his tenure at West Orange set
about the mining of iron ore at Sparta Mountain and as a result built
the town of Edison. Other than the school house, which had been
convereted into a Hungarian Church in a nearby community, only three
other structures are known to exist, these being residential houses now
occupied in Ogdensburg. That particular area of the world is full up
with mining, zinc being one ore, but more interstingly to me is a
concentration of varieties of flourescent minerals. The town of Edison,
and the mining orperation, were a failure for Thomas and what remains
there now is a wilderness management area and a motly of stone
foundations and other remnants. It is also possible that the failure led
to a conversion of the facilities to production of cement -- worth
lookign into. Our task at present is to assist the owner of the
schoolhouse in putting together presentation materials and a strategy
towards relocation of the schoolhouse to its original location to serve
for educational interpretation as well as, we hope, a resource to the
environmentalists (Friends of Sparta Mountain, Audubon Society, NJDEP)
who are stakeholders in the reserve. We will see, but, it is an adventure.

On the long-range radar of dreams and aspirations is work at either a
Morse or a Tesla site. Fingers always crossed. We did a small bit of
work up at Lyndhurst, NE headquarters of the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, and got word back that our report on the condition of
their chimneys gained particular positive attention in Washington. Oh,
and we are going to be involved in building a beehive oven and cook
fireplace outdoors of an historic site, in a designated "heritage play"
area, in Brooklyn. This project is an educational one working with teens
and adult mentors (from Goldman Sachs?). Looking forward to authentic
17th century Dutch pizza.

Rudy and I, with sons Carson & David will be giving dual presentations
at the Traditional Building Exhibit & Conference in Philly in the
spring. The nature of our talks will be on how builders think and the
need for us as trade conservators to to simulate traditional builder's
thinking when we engage with an historic structure with a desire towards
repairing and maintaining them -- as oppsed to thinking like artichokes
or angstioneers.

We have other adventures, but I had better hold on these. Back to work!

HC,

Jeane Claude says that Christo picked out the color of her hair.
He has a Bozo the Clown complex. Or is it Carrot Top?
This is art. No, this is free verse reflecting art.

And as I remember, we had been drinking heavily at the time. They probably
would have sold better than the beer.

too long to spend in hotels--so that people must renovate small town houses in
order to afford the vacations.

The American two-week vacations make the ownership of a vacation house
irrational. A hotel is always a better deal. The fact that Americans buy vacation
houses is for reason of investment and for retirement. Europe has a better
system to preserve its countryside, and t shows. All this is studied by the
Seaside-Pienza Institute. That is why I know this and few other things too that I

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  All those foreigners always do everything better and smarter than we do.  We're fortunate to have this jerk to point these things out to us.

Maybe he'd like to vacation in one of Osama's organic, low-energy caves.

Yes well as some guy on Terry Gross pointed out last month-
The Europeans only have to field an army large enough to keeps the
vandals and visegoths outside the gates for
a week until the US shows up. Personally I'd rather have the extra 4
weeks vacation than worry about my 10 yr old being drafted in 8 yrs.
or maybe 6 depending on his xbox aptitude.

Some Pakastani big shot told someone who told NPR that Osama isn't
there in them mountain caves.  He be gone Dude!  Then one of George's
henchman was reported that the FBI is very concerned about ALL those
sleeper cells here in this country.  I got to thinking about how there
used to be commies in our schools and unions and EVERYWHERE!  And I
remembered how much I appreciated the FBI keeping track of those evil
dooers...oh they were'n evil doers yet, they were just ner do wells and
riff raff I suppose.

Excuse me I have to look under the bed to see if Osama has joined the
commies camped out there.

faith, the average suicide bomber is recruited, isolated and sent out
in something like 24 hrs.
I just can't believe too much in long term sleeper cells.....

I am currently specifying the repair of a 1786 German red tile roof. Each
tile is 12" long by 6=94 wide. I am wondered if anyone has any information
(or knows a source of information) of German type of clay tile roof
structure (not framing but covering). It includes a tile layout and
supporting structures.
 Thank you

Igor,

The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has several sites=20
with German clay tile roofs.  Ephrata Cloister has them on the Bake=20
Oven, and maybe on the Almonry.  I don't remember exactly.  I believe=20
that Marianna Thomas may have been the architect on the project.  Her=20
office is in Philadelphia.  I'm sure the site will be glad to help.

At Daniel Boone Homestead in Birdsboro, PA I think I remember some clay=20=

tile roofing, but its vague.  However, Jim Lewars the site manager=20
knows more about the architecture of the Olley Valley than anyone in=20
good health should know.  I'd definitely give him a call.

Ah!  Conrad Weiser!  There's a secondary building with clay tile=20
roofing.  However, it no longer has termites or at least it didn't last=20=

time I was intimate with it.

John Fugelso who sometimes lurks here would have much more current=20
information than me.  His office is at Landis Valley, and he would be=20
worth a call.

I think the Harmonists had a clay tile production facility in Economy=20
when the town was at its peak, but I don't remember actually dealing=20
with them.

You can find the contact information for these sites at

  http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bhsm/trailofhistory.asp?secid=3D14

Have fun.

John,
I greatly appreciate your comprehensive reply.
As soon as I complete my research I am going come back and show everybody
the problems and results of investigation of this type of roof.

To take the building in one's teeth
Detail from documentation of performance "consuming architecture" 2001

PRESS RELEASE

A new project by Emily Katrencik
"Consuming 1.956 Inches Each Day For Forty-One Days."

Emily Katrencik's work takes on the main space of social and built =
architecture addressing the interstitial systems of both social and =
built space--their potentials and failures as psychological and livable =
space and the individual's ability or disability to act because of the =
codes that form these spaces. Recently her work incorporates real life =
into projects by creating a discourse between the two.=20

On January 1, 2005 Emily Katrencik began her new project created =
specifically for a space on 60 North 6TH Street that is part artist's =
lab and part space for living. Each day for forty-one days Katrencik is =
ingesting 1.956 inches of a sheetrock wall that separates the gallery =
from the gallerist's personal living space. Katrencik invites the =
visitors to the gallery to take an active position in the piece by =
offering them bread which contains minerals extracted from the sheetrock =
wall. Through the act of consumption, boundaries collapse between the =
gallery owner and the artist, between the architecture and the =
body--creating a new space with the cutting and connecting of the two =
different spaces.=20

By consuming the wall, Katrencik unravels the seamless construction of =
our identity in relation to our controlled environment, revealing a =
counter position and providing action as a model to be taken in order to =
create one's own space within the system.=20


BIOGRAPHY
Emily Katrencik was born in 1975 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and lives =
and works in New York City. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Sculpture =
from the San Francisco Art Institute and a Masters of Science in Visual =
Studies from M.I.T.=20

Ken;
 My good good man
It may be of interest to you that one of those stones that grace my work
desk is a healthy sample of Hemimorhite ;a sparkling white crystal taken by
myself from the Stearling hill mine when I blasted a seam a half mile down  ,
excerpt from "Mine story"

"The dynamite was the old red stick type;we would make bundles of it
,sometimes 3-6 sticks and lash them together with twine or what ever was  handy  then
with a simple battery opperated blasting  cap  she  was set into a promising
seam or creavise, this took great practice because a  well placed charge meant
the least amount of work, while a careless blast  meant very hard work as
there were no second chances .

In humid weather sometimes the sticks would sweat. These were beads of  nitro
and  one could gingerely wipe  up these beads and walk to a far  part of the
shaft and "fling them " like sweat into a corner only to have them  explode
sharply  on contact
Like putting a baby to bed the  charge was placed just so  into the seam .
Then seeing she was secure ,and couldn't fall we wired the cap and drapped
the line back around several cavernous  twists and turns and placed into  the
charger ; a crank devise that required several sharp winds .
Then with the nod of the pit boss ; the plunger was pushed and a blast with
a very strong concusion shook and vibrated  the walls and ceilings pushing
our helmets askew   and filling the air with dust and the acrid smell  of
gunpowder .

With our helmets acting as search lights we made our way to the blast sight
. I was the first one to find it , a little opening in which I crawlled
through  . There I entered a little room , about 12 x16  alive in clusters of tiny
white crystals  peeping and beaming back to me their light  I felt  special
and humbled , and almost welcomed into their midst ...Nature gives  us many
gifts but never have I felt one so personalized and to put it mildly  religious

Pyrate,

It was the Sterling Hill Mine that you worked at in Ogdensburg?
Please confirm that I have got this right.
Amazing how small the world gets each day.

What gets me is that she is baking bread with it and feeding it to visitors.

Ruth,

Just imagine what she'd be feeding people if she'd become a nutritionist
instead of an artist.

We're better off as it is.

What goes on, and I know this from my duration hiding in Williamsburg
(where this artist is located) and my absolute love of these characters
is that after they get finished hocking themselves up the ying-yang to
get a Masters in ART (and we can wonder where HS guidance counselors fit
in here) if they have any wherewithal whatsoever they move to the most
trendy HOT spot they can find and then they need to struggle/hustle as
cooks or waitresses or carpenters or welders or used bookstore clerks
and then to hustle to DISTINGUISH themselves in the ART press... it
being particularly kool to reserve a closet of your apartment as a
GALLERY where you advertise to show other people's work and you get to
go GAGA when a dufus (one level above an intern) slips a two sentence
review of your gallery (closet now with colored light bulb and sections
of the walls eaten out) into the Village Voice. I say this knowing full
well that behind and down under and further back on the historical time
line there are really damned interesting artists that have been
inhabitating that particular snatch of Brooklyn. The bowels of the
contemporary art  scene is always full of fun.

Is there anyone on this list with an interest in Cleveland, Ohio?  Once
again I have a booklet, I guess you'd call it, this one is all pictures,
with captions, of buildings in Cleveland.  It was published in 1899, is
aprox 10"x12" and not very thick, I'd say the traditional 32 pages of a
picture book.

If anyone here is interested I'd be glad to send them this book.  Ruth

If I remember correctly, the mix used at the edges of gypsum board contain

Ruth,

I remember one time going to an early party at Brooklyn Brewery, when
they had just opened their digs, and meeting several local groovy artist
types. I was introduced to one young woman and told she would be the
next great singer and that I should pay attention to her name. The
person introducing her was a painter, of what I'm not sure. I told
everyone that I met that I was the contractor from around the corner.
The guy that was playing lead guitar in the band that night had tried
recently to swoon me with the grandeur of his stonework, looking for a
job, and here he was the BAND LEADER and stoned out of his gourd. Not
that I have anything against that. Eventually I found out what these
folks did for a real living, the singer a waitress and the painter a
carpenter of sorts. I remember years and years ago a friend of mine a
painter who really did make it big time in the major leagues I told him
I was perplexed between writing and stonework. His response was that
possibly I was meant to do stonework, since I could do that or write,
because for him he was a complete failure at anything but painting. I
believe to have a choice in what we do with ourselves as a career is
something of an indulgence. It is quite likely that she could not ever
be a nutritionist.

For those w/ broadband and my friends who are slow readers you can now
get an audio reading off my website at www.orgrease.org
<http://www.orgrease.org/>
I'm still working on the Podcasting venture.

And, Kathy now has a blog for children's stories at Granny Kathy's
Journal <http://www.livejournal.com/users/granny_kathy/>. It is meant to
be read by children... so if you know any children besides yourself then
please share.

Rudy,

One of my current histo-presto obsessions is documentation of buildings built
with natural cement. More than 80% of that would have happened pre-1899, the
date of publication of Ruth's book on Cleveland buildings. There are
historical references indicating that several bridges, industrial structures
and federal government buildings in Cleveland were built with natural cement
in 1898 or earlier. If any of them are in the book, that may constitute a rare
record of their existence, what they looked like and what happened to them.

If any of those structures are documented in this book, then maybe it belongs
in the Century House natural cement museum, rather than in a private
collection.

Mike,

The entrance to Prospect Park at Grand Army Plaza was built with natural
cement - McKim Mead & White late 1890s (I think). I was the resident
engineer for Parks when the ensemble was restored in 1993-95.

Rudy,

One of my current histo-presto obsessions is documentation of buildings
built
with natural cement. More than 80% of that would have happened pre-1899, the
date of publication of Ruth's book on Cleveland buildings. There are
historical references indicating that several bridges, industrial structures
and federal government buildings in Cleveland were built with natural cement
in 1898 or earlier. If any of them are in the book, that may constitute a
rare
record of their existence, what they looked like and what happened to them.

If any of those structures are documented in this book, then maybe it
belongs
in the Century House natural cement museum, rather than in a private
collection.

Mike,

So I assume then that there should be a DIABETIC warning on all sheetrock?

Only for artists and their patrons.  This eating sheetrock sounds like  a
bigger load of shit than The Gates, which I saw (and photographed, as did
everybody else in the universe) yesterday.

Since Christo doesn't allow corporate sponsorship of his fabulous work (who
does he think pays for his $30K sketches?  The homeless?), he must own a  LOT
of stock in Kodak.

So does this artist eat unleavened sheetrock at Passover?  Or at least  3/8"
instead of 1/2"?
Does she make a Hillel sandwich with sheetrock and spackle, as opposed to
matzoh and moror? (For those of you unfamiliar with Hebraic matters, moror is
chopped up apples and nuts, soaked in wine and cinnamon, which symbolizes the
mortar made by our ancestors in building Pharaoh's cities; one eats it (like a
 sandwich) between two pieces of matzoh)

Or is eating regular sheetrock close enough to eating matzoh?

Thank you, Eric, for that information. The Grand Army Plaza gates are
spectacular.

Apparently a great deal of 19th century NYC Parks construction (like a great
deal of other 19th c. NYC construction) is natural cement. Joan Berkowitz
tells me that the Central Park perimeter walls are documented to have been
built with Rosendale cement as well.

Eating sheetrock on Passover would be an even more striking symbol of 40
years' wandering in the desert.

Mike,

OK, so then I suppose there should be a health movement to have the
sugar tinted so that the diabetic artist knows not to eat the edges.
If only this art movement would catch on for EIFS.

Now EIFS would be much less caloric...acrylic polymers are too big to digest.

The Europeans are correct in subsidizing agriculture in order to save
the landscape and incidentally to eat better. The Americans also do
tremendous subsidies but it is to agribusiness, and also to grow less.
The other thing that Europe does is to grant 5-6 week vacations. These are
too long to spend in hotels--so that people must renovate small town houses in
order to afford the vacations.

The American two-week vacations make the ownership of a vacation house
irrational. A hotel is always a better deal. The fact that Americans buy vacation
houses is for reason of investment and for retirement. Europe has a better
system to preserve its countryside, and t shows. All this is studied by the
Seaside-Pienza Institute. That is why I know this and few other things too that I
learned in their Summer programs.
That's crap. Every fourth person in New Jersey owns a vacation house, all at
the Jersey shore, which is why our beaches look the way they do.

Frankly I think if there are reasons why more Europeans own vacation houses
than Americans-- and I'd like to see the stats on that, because I can name at
least five people that I know off the top of my head that have a vacation
home-- here are a few that I could throw out there:
1) American women don't really consider that having to cook three meals a
day, plus cleaning, making beds, doing wash, etc. to be a vacation.
2) Americans move around-- for jobs, relationships, climate. Sometimes it can
be a hassle to hold onto property in a specific place.
3) Americans like to travel. And since we do tend to take less vacation time
than Eurpoeans, sometimes you have to make a choice-- Paris or the beach
house? Most people I know choose the place they haven't been before.

As I was growing up, I can remember my mom saying, "Why would we buy a place
at the shore? Then we'd have to spend all our vacation time there..."

Vive la difference.

Thought I'd pass it on to those not receiving the preserve link.

We have a situation where a historic building with some fine architectural
detail may be demolished, but its possible that the developer may be willing to
salvage some of the architectural elements.  Problem is, with the LPC
warehouse no longer is use, I'm not sure where we could even bring such things to be
(hopefully) preserved and re-used.  I know there are architectural salvage
businesses, which this developer could sell to (and they don't need any help from
us to do that), but I was wondering if anyone knew of any resources out there
other than businesses that could take, and find a good new home/use, for some
great 19th century architectural details.

We have a situation where a historic building with some fine  architectural

Heidi,

I love the decorative sidewalk bricks and the conduit tiles.

Thanx,

Can you explain to this goyim why my Jewish mother in law won't eat regular

There are those of us of the Hebrew Persuasion who don't consider it the

The American two-week vacations make the ownership of a vacation house
irrational. A hotel is always a better deal. The fact that Americans buy
vacation houses is for reason of investment and for retirement. Europe has
a better system to preserve its countryside, and t shows. All this is
studied by the Seaside-Pienza Institute. That is why I know this and few
other things too that I learned in their Summer programs.

That's crap. Every fourth person in New Jersey owns a vacation house, all

Eric,

First of all, you (singular) are not "goyim".  Goyim is plural, and you (singular) are a "goy."  As a male goy, you are a shaygets; your sister is a shicksa.

As you your mother-in-laws dining habits, she doesn't eat pasta during passover because it has (or potentially has) leaven in it, and we are commanded to eat no leaven in commemoration of the Exodus when the Hebes didn't have time to allow their bread to rise. One goes through all manner of gyrations to avoid leaven, and with greater difficulty to figure out how to cook edible food without it.

As I have mentioned, when single in Joisey City I used to eat my standard lunch (ham and swiss) on matzoh during passover, and have been known to exuse myself for eating raisin bran and pizza on the theory that they are flat.  On the other hand, I felt bad one year when I realized halfway through a bottle of beer that this was a no-no.

Which reminds me that I have misled you goyim with my comment comparing sheetrock and spackle to matzoh and maror, and the Hillel sandwich:  maror is in fact bitter herb, normally (in my family of origin) a slice of horseradish, eaten as a sandwich between two small pieces of matzoh; the chopped apples, nuts and wine mix I described is called charoses (if you eat enough, you might get cirrhosis), and tastes MUCH better between two pieces of matzoh.

My coreligionists should be ashamed to have failed to catch me in this grievous error.

Ralph

I was surprised to find TWO  people who were interested in this booklet.  I
thought I'd be lucky to find anyone who would take it off my hands.  I
appears to be a souvenier type of thing, probably someone in the family
passed through there at some point.

It is all photos with captions, no text to amount to anything.  I would be
interested to know if these buildings are still there, they are absolutely
gorgeous!!

So here's what I'm gonna do.  I'll print out the captions, if anyone wants
the photo I'll see if I can scan and send before I send the booklet off to
Rudy.

Inside front cover is a map showing the various annexations and the dates.

PG 2 & 3:  several pictures of Cleveland in 1830s

PG 4 & 5:  more pictures of Cleveland in 1830s, 60s and 70s

PG 8:        picture of city from rooftop

PG 9:      Cuyahoga County Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument
          This is a fabulous building

PG  16:  Views of various parks

PG  17:  The Rose Building, The Williamson Building, Chamber of Commerce

Ralph,

Thanks for correcting my miss-plural.

Anyway, that is what my in laws and wife say but I make fresh pasta with
flour and eggs. I don't think there is leavening agents in that and it sure
is a quick meal.

Eric,

First of all, you (singular) are not "goyim".  Goyim is plural, and you
(singular) are a "goy."  As a male goy, you are a shaygets; your sister is a
shicksa.

As you your mother-in-laws dining habits, she doesn't eat pasta during
passover because it has (or potentially has) leaven in it, and we are
commanded to eat no leaven in commemoration of the Exodus when the Hebes
didn't have time to allow their bread to rise. One goes through all manner
of gyrations to avoid leaven, and with greater difficulty to figure out how
to cook edible food without it.

As I have mentioned, when single in Joisey City I used to eat my standard
lunch (ham and swiss) on matzoh during passover, and have been known to
exuse myself for eating raisin bran and pizza on the theory that they are
flat.  On the other hand, I felt bad one year when I realized halfway
through a bottle of beer that this was a no-no.

Which reminds me that I have misled you goyim with my comment comparing
sheetrock and spackle to matzoh and maror, and the Hillel sandwich:  maror
is in fact bitter herb, normally (in my family of origin) a slice of
horseradish, eaten as a sandwich between two small pieces of matzoh; the
chopped apples, nuts and wine mix I described is called charoses (if you eat
enough, you might get cirrhosis), and tastes MUCH better between two pieces
of matzoh.

My coreligionists should be ashamed to have failed to catch me in this
grievous error.

Ralph

eric,

Try making whatever you make with matzoh meal.  The'll HAVE to eat it, and when (not if) it comes out lousy, you can blame it on the Jews.

Ruth,
That is quite a generous offer. A quick look at the list tells me I absolutely
have to get the Viaduct on pg. 15, which is listed as a natural cement
structure.

Pgs. 17, 18, 19 and 24 could also be of interest. I'm not sure what is in some
of the other listed pictures, but I am particularly interested in any federal
buildings, post offices and steel mills that may be pictured. Also: Does the
Lake Erie picture include a lighthouse?

Glazed brick???? Sidewalk????  Sheen????

Don't sound good to me, unless Columbus OH10 glazed brick is way different
from Noo Yawk glazed brick.  This stuff is safe to walk on in freezing  weather

Did I chase the beer with milk, or the ham and Swiss?  If the former,  no; if

It's like magic. No problem walking on it. But it isn't "glazed" as in with a
glassy surface, the way old historic (and I'm thinking of NJ examples) glazed
brick looks like glass baked onto brick. The decorative brick here has an
almost metalic sheen to it, but yet, it still looks and feels like brick, it
terms of surface texture. It's really cool.

It doesn't ice up any faster than anything else; however, that isn't really
saying much, since a large majority of the sidewalks here are sheets of ice in
the winter (mine included, so I throw no stones when I live in the
metaphorical glass house.)

Europeans rennovate vacation houses in their home towns.  So do Europeans buy
vacation homes in the towns they already live  in, or in the towns they lived
in as children? Americans dont.  Why the hell WOULD you buy a vacation home
in the town you already  live in? Or is this the same theory as the Chinese
making a meager living  taking in each others' laundry? Our towns are goners.
Maybe  if our towns had been bombed like European towns, they wouldn't be goners
now. Are they gonads now?
Cooking can be a pleasure when it is  not at the end of a workday. Or if
somebody else is doing  it.  Does this asshole have a cook?  It is different  when
on holiday. Does he enjoy washing dishes on vacation (I mean,  holiday), too?
Less wealthy people in Europe have vacation  houses than do the equivalent
Americans strata, regardless of the  proletarian look of the Jersey Shore.  Does
he mean "fewer  wealthy people..." or "people who are less wealthy..." It  is
precisely because Americans move around a lot, and because families are
therfore dispersed they yearn for  a permanent vacation place,  Something that
recurs in time and place. My crazy friends from  Cleveland thought it was
essential to own a second house (no matter how much  it impoverished them), and their
families of origin didn't move around all  the time.  I still fail to
understand why anyone would want a second  house any more than one would want a
second bigamous family.  Call  me narrow-minded.
And I dont have "statistics".  I read,  travel, observe and think-- the old
way. This guy sounds more and  more like Ronald Reagan.The way when we used to
do things right.  Modern planning is all about statistics and the outcome is
garbage.  Somehow I doubt that the outcome is garbage because the planning is
based on statistics. All sorts of
ineptitude and timidity and  lack of vision is disguised behind.
Statistics. Which makes it  sound like boldness and vision is based on

 on models that are observable. Like what? They are more  integrated
Integrated like when I lived in Jersey City surrounded by  old colored ladies? than
statistics and a shorter leap to the  desired outcome.  What are a shorter leap

This is the New Urbanist way. Sounds like  "playing urban games," a phrase
(or maybe a book/article title?) I remember  from planning class in Arch school,
taught by another  lunatic.

Americans on average only own their houses 5 to seven years.  About 45
million moved last year.  I don't know what the mean is, or what the
European numbers are.  Anyone?   A number of studies show that second
home buying in the US will be at a rate of 1,000 units per day for the
next decade.  Approximately 6.5 million people have second homes today,
which is about 6% of all home owners.   Although more people are moving
within the same county, the statistics are plainly stacked against the
development of long term community development, local accountability and
the creation of any planning efforts that will look at the long term.
    I recommend an interesting article on planning "A call for the
Radical revitalization of American Planning" by Emily Talen.

Best,
Leland

Recently there was a flap in CT where someone pressed the wrong button
for the radio emergency broadcast and the announcement told everyone to
evacuate the state. We here in the unHamptons have been wondering ever
since if the emergency response is for everyone in NJ to go to NY,
everyone in CT to go to NY, and all NY'ers to go to either CT or NJ?
Seems that a good deal of people will be out on the road when the giant
meteor hits. Under these conditions I would say that it is rather
difficult to figure out where to locate the vacation house.
