<description><![CDATA[Le sigh. Much better. D. came home, and was all &#8220;Wow, it looks and smells great in here!]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Le sigh. Much better. D. came home, and was all &#8220;Wow, it looks and smells great in here!&#8221; which was very nice. He feels better, which is good &#8212; he&#8217;s has a miserable cold and been home sick the last two days.</p>
<p>I remember being sick as a dog one year when I was a kid, for Mother&#8217;s Day. I had tonsilitis, and we were supposed to be going to a very fancy (to 9 year old me) restaurant. I didn&#8217;t want to miss it. I went, but I couldn&#8217;t eat anything, of course. I had something like a 101 degree fever, which I understand puts most parents in a screaming panic attack, but I had so many cases of tonsilitis as a kid, with so many really, really high fevers (like 103, 104) that my folks were all &#8220;Eh, 101. What the fuck ever&#8221; by that point.</p>
<p>I wonder sometimes how many brain cells that killed. C&#8217;est la vie.</p>
<p>This blase attitude towards fevers has translated to my adult life &#8212; people get all het up about &#8220;OMG, OMG, 100 degree fever! ER, stat!&#8221; to which my somewhat heartless reply is &#8220;Are you kidding me? Chill the fuck out and give &#8216;em some fever reducer.&#8221; Unless you can see actual heat waves, I&#8217;m just not worried.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have eaten, made green bean casserole, which is cooling on the counter, and the ham is in the oven. Cider-mustard glaze is reducing on stovetop, and I have a load of dishes going in the dishwasher. Now I&#8217;m all RSS-feed checky and thinking about giving myself a manicure and settling down with a book until the ham is cooked.</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving!</p>

<description><![CDATA[My day so far: Wake up, coffee, internet round-up and check. Go to to start iTouch for cleaning ramp]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cleaning.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-133" title="cleaning" src="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cleaning.jpeg" alt="" width="84" height="126" /></a>My day so far:</p>
<p>Wake up, coffee, internet round-up and check. Go to to start iTouch for cleaning rampage music, is dead. Say bad words, charge.Prepare to clean in monk-like silence.</p>
<p>Awful gingham  curtains removed from dining room.</p>
<p>Go out, apologize to neighbor&#8217;s for ex-wife&#8217;s dog incessantly barking. Explain dog needs to be out while I clean. Neighbor is very nice, offers to bring EWD over to play with son&#8217;s GIANT Lab puppy. EWD goes over fence, promptly starts trying to hump giant Lab puppy&#8217;s face. I go inside.</p>
<p>Dining room dusted, lemon oiled, window seat hastily cleaned and decorated with items pilfered from screened in porch room, de-cat boxed, de- cat fooded, de- pethair and de-cat condoed</p>
<p>Dining room swiffered, swept (yes, I have to do it twice, fucking 5 pets, OMGWHY?) mopped.</p>
<p>Dining room chairs brought in, not polished yet.</p>
<p>OMG, I forgot I have to cook a turkey breast too! Check turkey breast &#8212; does not need to be defrosted. Cancel plans for evening, as this means I have to cook the ham tonight.</p>
<p>Put ham out.</p>
<p>Go get cigarettes. It&#8217;s cold. I&#8217;m wearing a short cotton skort.</p>
<p>Get nicotine. Pay in $10.77 worth of change.</p>
<p>Get home, smoke cigarette. Get up, spray overn cleaner in oven, as it was producing large amounts of smoke when I baked a pizza last night (from last time I broiled chicken breasts with shittons of butter.)</p>
<p>Dust and polish almost all furniture in foyer, living room and office, except stuff that will just have to be done again after the de-hairing of the furniture tonight.</p>
<p>Swiffer and sweep living room and office. Mop living room while hollering as cats traipse across wet floor &#8212; &#8220;Wait till I&#8217;m done cleaning it before you get it dirty!&#8221;</p>
<p>Take internet and cigarette break.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So I had a weekend of insomnia, and I went surfing into the sunrise. This is some of the stuff I found out.</p>
<p>The following things are to be found at <a href="http://www.shopplasticland.com" target="_blank">Plasticland</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Product_Code=P90521012&#38;Category_Code=Home-Decor" target="_blank">Vintage Woman &#38; Bird Stretched Canvas Wall Art</a></p>
<p><a href="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vintage-woman-bird-stretched-canvas-wall-art.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-91" title="Vintage Woman &#38; Bird Stretched Canvas Wall Art" src="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vintage-woman-bird-stretched-canvas-wall-art.jpg?w=247" alt="" width="247" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s just pretty. I would put it in the foyer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Product_Code=P91117036&#38;Category_Code=Home-Decor" target="_blank">Vintage Victorian Hand Jewelry Holder</a></p>
<p><a href="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vintage-victorian-hand-jewlery-holder.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-92" title="Vintage Victorian Hand Jewlery Holder" src="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vintage-victorian-hand-jewlery-holder.jpg?w=123" alt="" width="123" height="150" /></a> While I have pretty trays and boxes and such already stashing a lot of my jewelry, I only have one 3-D storage option, and that&#8217;s for necklaces.</p>
<p>This would be a fabulous 3-D way to store and display rings, as I have quite a few pretty ones, but I can really only stand to wear one on a daily basis.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Product_Code=P91117070&#38;Category_Code=Home-Decor" target="_blank"><br />
</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Product_Code=P91117070&#38;Category_Code=Home-Decor" target="_blank">Glass Drops Flower Vase on Wood Stand</a></p>
<p><a href="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/glass-drops-flower-vase-on-wood-stand.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-93" title="Glass Drops Flower Vase on Wood Stand" src="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/glass-drops-flower-vase-on-wood-stand.jpg?w=247" alt="" width="247" height="300" /></a>I like wee bud vases &#8212; I think they take up less room and also, you can get some fresh flowers or bits of greenery into more places in your house (say, a tiny powder room or a bookshelf)  and spend less money &#8212; and this, while not precisely wee, is small and clever and pretty. I would use this in the bathroom.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Product_Code=P91117901&#38;Category_Code=Shoes" target="_blank">Fuchsia Faux Suede Bardot Platform Pumps</a></p>

<p>Yeah, these are just hot, and I want them.</p>
<p>These things are from <a href="http://www.aplusrstore.com/" target="_blank">A+R</a> which is AWESOME OMG AND I WANT TO SPEND TONS OF MONEY THERE OMG SQUEEEE.</p>
<p>Er. Ahem. Excuse me. I couldn&#8217;t help it.</p>
<p>I have a whole wish list saved on this site (hello, anyone who reads this and wants to buy me stuff) but I have edited it to just include a few of my very favorite items for you to peruse. But there&#8217;s tons of really wonderful items &#8212; tell me some of your favorites, because I guarantee you will have something.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aplusrstore.com/product.php?id=162" target="_blank">Tord Boontje &#38; Artecnica&#8217;s Garland Light</a></p>
<p><a href="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/brass_garlands.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-99" title="brass_garlands" src="http://captainmordinary.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/brass_garlands.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>This is just gorgeous, and I love it. I would get it for the foyer light fixture.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<p>I love this design. I would definitely plant herbs in this and keep it on my kitchen windowsill.</p>

This is genius. SO. DAMNED. CUTE.  You can get different plants &#8212; cactus, phlox, lavender, petunia, basil, mint, chrysthanemum and strawberry. You get it, crack it open, water and it grows. And it&#8217;s $10.50.</p>
<p>Perfect for kids and also a super-cute holiday gift for co-workers and friends.</p>

<p>These are so pretty. After I paint the walls in the stairwell leading up to the seond story (and someday, I will, I swear &#8212; don&#8217;t ask me what color) these would look wonderful there.</p>

<p>I would get 2 or 3 of these (they are $26) and hang them over my desk. I don&#8217;t know why I would display in them, but the possibilities are endless.</p>

<p> I know, I know &#8212; D. went to bed at 12:30 and I SWEAR I was going up by 1 a.m.. but at about 11 p.m., I&#8217;d stumbled on <a href="http://mydeco.com/design/">mydeco.com</a>, which is fierce CRACK, because it lets you design your own little 3-D rooms and make virtual moodboards. I made a sex noise when I found it that made D. turn to me and raise an eyebrow inquiringly. I just kind of flopped a hand towards the computer screen, at which he obligingly peered.</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh. Wow, you&#8217;re never gonna sleep, are you?&#8221; says him. Eyes wide, I just nod and nod and my fingers twitch as I try it out. Oh, you Brits! With your clever time sucks. I love you.</p>
<p>But I was conscientious, and only played with it for an hour or so.  Then I looked at a few blogs that had to do with insomnia, and that led me to this article in the <em>New York Times:</em>  <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/10/an-internet-solution-for-insomnia/" target="_blank">&#8220;An  Internet Solution  for Insomnia.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>It talks basically about providing CBT &#8212; cognitive behavioral therapy &#8212; via the internet.  I&#8217;ve encountered a lot of these ideas in my various trips to sleep specialists and sleep clinics, but I will be researching the idea more throughly now that I&#8217;m not insured and can&#8217;t have the assured quick fix that a sleep med might bring. I will be doing more research on this, and reporting on my findings.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experiences with CBT for insomnia, or for any other issues? I&#8217;d like to hear about them.</p>
<p>Anyway, to wrap up this Insomnireport, 2 mgs. Lorazepam, to bed at 2 a.m., didn&#8217;t listen to anything at all, and last time I remember seeing on the clock was 2:34 a.m. Woke up at 10:41 a.m. this morning, feeling like I could use another couple hours of sleep, but I got up.</p>

<p>I need to get a new shower curtain. I moved into D&#8217;s place and the bathroom is PINK. Which, actually, I&#8217;m ok with (oh, but I miss my deep, deep 1920&#8217;s bathtub &#8212; the pink tub is a mere puddle &#8212; no baths for me!).</p>
<p>The shower curtain&#8230;needs to be replaced. Yes, I tried to wash it; I&#8217;m trying not to GirlStyle the poor man out of all semblance of his home. But &#8212; yep, washed it, needs to go.</p>
<p>Price is an object, and it&#8217;s gotta tie in this Pepto pink paint and fixtures things, and maybe tone it down a bit. I already have a lot of light green mats and towels.</p>
<p>Paiseley curtain above is my favorite, but it is awfully girly. D. likes bright colors; here&#8217;s my second choice.</p>

<p>So&#8230;what do you think? Paisleys or geometrics?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Yes, yes, I know: this is the plaint of about half a zillion people since this spring. I still tool wistfully about the mag stand at the bookstore, hoping to find a print magazine that will be comparable, but there&#8217;s nothing that quite fits the cute little niche Domino occupied.</p>
<p>Apparently, one of the stylists for Domino, and other assorted publications, <a href="http://www.lilidiallostyle.com/">Lili Diallo</a>, is continuing to style. (How much do I love that &#8220;styling&#8221; is a profession? But it makes sense &#8212; some people just have a knack and a definitive aethetic sensbility. Diallo has a website, and I can look through it and remember some of the layouts in Domino.</p>
<p>The food and clothes styling are kinda &#8220;eh&#8221; to me &#8212; but the homes! I can&#8217;t directly put up the photos that I am all &#8220;Oooh, shiny!&#8221; about, but seriously &#8212; go look at her website and see some of the pretty for yourself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>You know, I am fine with sustainable living, and people living simply. I get it &#8212; sometimes the urge to purge all my stuff and go live in a rustic cabin in the Colorado mountains by a stream with spawning salmon and deer and nature and quiet musing wrapped in a cashmere blanket and writing in a Moleskin journal becomes all too appealing.  Ok, maybe a ratty quilt and Mead notebook, if I&#8217;m doing the simple living thing.</p>
<p>However, this <a href="http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/blogging/mom-dad-and-baby-live-happily-in-380-square-feetla-times-101462">couple</a> featured in <a href="http://www.ohdeedoh.com/">Odeedoh</a>&#8230;wow.  They live in 380 square feet. And have a baby.</p>
<p>I know &#8212; I KNOW &#8212; tons of people live in tinier places that are just unthinkable for a large number of Americans. And  I know anyone who lives in say, New York or London or many large cities are going to have wee, wee places. But I was just thinking about how weird it is for me to live with someone at all &#8212; sometimes, I think it&#8217;s way too crowded &#8212; mentally in my house, and that&#8217;s with two adults, four cats, a dog all occupying a two story house with a basement.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sitting here right now, and we&#8217;re utilizing one room &#8212; we have his and hers computers set up spanning the south wall, using a T-shaped built-in abutted on both side with bookcases. It&#8217;s nice to be able to share thoughts and not feel separated, but&#8230;well, right now I&#8217;m wearing headphone to kind of build a separate mental space for myself.</p>
<p>After living with myself so long, I am not used to people.  I know D&#8217;s not looking over my shoulder&#8230;but he could be. I keep wanting to put a net or a curtain between us.</p>
<p>How do you deal with having your own space while living with a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So I moved into my boyfriend&#8217;s house about a month ago. I&#8217;d been planning on moving in about the mid of October but then boom! POW! I lost my job unexpectedly and I hustled my shit in here in a frantic half-week. So I went from living in a small one-bedroom 1920&#8217;s era apartment on the Plaza to a two-story three bedroom with a basement full of his ex&#8217;s stuff, a hyperactive Corgi, two cats (in addition to my two), a deck with nails sticking out, and you know, grass and TREES and shit.</p>
<p>So. Regardless of the other issues that moving in (having never lived with anyone in a romantic attachment, and not had a roommate of any other type in at least 8 years)  have dredged up in the primordial ooze that is my psyche, I have had decor issues crowding the brain.</p>
<p>See, I LIKE decorating. This house is cool; I like it. But I am dead broke, so while I&#8217;m trying to do as well as I can with creative repurposing and shopping from my own inventory, so to speak, there are just so many things I&#8217;m itching to do.</p>
<p>Like paint, for instance. The living room is kind of a medium yellow &#8212; fine when there&#8217;s some light in here, but since there are only windows on the south side of the living room, and it&#8217;s a oblong living room, and the south side is devoted to a built-in desk/bookshelves office type area&#8230;not a lot of light.  It&#8217;s kind of a mustard yellow in the afternoon and in the evening. Not terrible, but not what I want, either.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to get to the living room for a while, so I&#8217;ve got that on a mental back burner, but the foyer&#8230;THAT I can do. I have an actual foyer! The floors are parquet, and I got down and scrubbed and lemon oiled those bitches by hand a couple of weeks ago. I organized the closet in the foyer, but I would like to add a bit more zip to the area eventually.</p>
<p>The window has cute little shutters <img src="http://www.brownstoner.com/forum/profile_post_images/interior_window_3_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>which I really like.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Been suffering growing pains for the whole week. First is heavy cold. Half deaf, sluggish and overdosed, I though the last earthquake was side effect or another thing made by <a href="http://www.letxa.com/issue_haarp.php">HAARP</a> </p>
<p>Then I was made aware that I&#8217;ve got ridiculous amount of RAW files to work on. Last week I did a pre wedding photoshoot for my friend Helga. The couple was agreed with the idea I proposed. I was inspired by 30-40s espionage, and Newseum Cafe at Veteran Street (where we previously did screenplay writing and discussion) it is, definitely. It&#8217;s an alternative room of cafe, art gallery, also legendary hideout place of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mata_Hari">Mata Hari</a> where she studied Indonesian culture. I like the irony, where optimism was used as a counter-balanced of the great depression/post-war ambience of pessimism. Just like how they produced some musicals and comedies to entertain themselves. The zeitgeist: undercover, optimism, betterment, hope, mission, travel, togetherness, harmony, 30-40s spy, agent, etc.</p>
<p><img src="http://idlcru.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/espionage.jpg?w=198" alt="espionage" title="espionage" width="198" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-328" /> </p>
<p>In execution, I want the shots not perfectly lit, or &#8216;beautifully&#8217; low-key. I want them to be just make sense. Not composed. I hate to say that I wanted me and my camera to be sincere (let&#8217;s say: redemption, because we&#8217;ve been such liars). And that&#8217;s the feel I got from Newseum Cafe. Like the era, they have this little cranny highlights and vignette in the corners. With the presence of dead areas, some of the image appears more alive. I also done the props and wardrobe, helped by Stella and Mira. </p>
<p>Just a leak from unedited stuffs. To avoid Frank Miller-ish look I will make it like less gloomy version of film noir (imagine the photos standing amid the flowers in the wedding day).</p>

<p>FUENTE &#124; <a href="http://www.abc.es/20091001/cultura-arqueologia/arqueologos-sacan-comedor-rotante-200910011823.html">abc.es</a></p>
<p>La leyenda del comedor que gira imitando el movimiento rotatorio de la tierra, se ha convertido en realidad. No se trata de la última innovación tecnológica, sino que ha sido el descubrimiento realizado por un grupo de arqueólogos italo-franceses, confirmando la presencia de una habitación con estas características perteneciente a la Domus Aurea de Nerón.<br />
Con este descubrimiento, la «coenatio rotunda» descrita por Svetonio en la «Vida de los Césares» recobra vida. Tras el incendio de Roma en el 64 después de Cristo, el excéntrico emperador se hizo construir una nueva residencia con paredes recubiertas de mármol y piedras preciosas. El lujo era tal que la casa se denominó «Domus Aurea». Precisamenete en el interior de la morada que se extendía por más de 2,5 kilómetros cuadrados entre el Palatino y Cole Oppio, se encontraba esta habitación circular con la que Nerón sorprendía a sus invitados.<br />
El comedor ideado por el emperador romano y construido por sus arquitectos de confianza, Celere y Severo, tenía una base de agua con una especie de parqué flotante que permitía la rotación de la estructura. Por ahora sólo es posible ver el muro de dos metros que delimita el perímetro de la habitación que dibuja un círculo de 16 metros. Los pilares y la pared de la estructura aparecen unidos por una serie de arcos que cubren el primer nivel de la habitación compuesta de dos pisos. Según los arqueólogos la estructura estaba compuesta por un total de siete arcos, cuatro en el nivel superior, y tres en el inferior.<br />
«Se trata un estructura que no tiene comparación con nada parecido en la antigüedad», comentó a los medios la directora de las excavaciones, María Antonietta Tomei quien puso en evidencia la importancia del pilar central de grandes dimensiones sobre el que se apoya toda la estructura. La Domus Aurea de Nerón se ha conservado gracias a que sus herederos cubrieron la villa para borrar toda huella del emperador. Los lujosos salones fueron desmontados y cubiertos, elevando encima las termas de Tito y Trajano, mientras que en el valle bajo la casa, se construyó el Coliseo.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Eine wichtige Gemeinsamkeit der wirtschaftlichen Aktivität von Pompeji und Herkulaneum, war die Tats]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Eine wichtige Gemeinsamkeit der wirtschaftlichen Aktivität von Pompeji und Herkulaneum, war die Tatsache, dass es eine stetig wachsende Anzahl von vermietbaren <em>domus,</em> <em>tabernae </em>und<em> cenacula </em>gab, die von Großgrundbesitzern an Kaufmannsleute, Familien und Handwerker verpachtet wurden.<a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bei der gefundenen Inschrift: CIL IV 1136<a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a> wird eine Mietanzeige der Iulia Felix aus Pompeji dargestellt. Es lässt sich der Quelle entnehmen, dass Iulia Felix ihre Immobilien vermieten wollte. In diesem Fall handelte es sich neben einem Bad auch um Läden, die von dem Pächter für gewerbliche oder private Zwecke genutzt werden konnten. Drexhage<a href="#_ftn3">[3]</a> vermutet, dass Iulia Felix sich &#8211; ausgelöst durch die Wirtschaftskrise nach dem Erdbeben ab 62 n. Chr. &#8211; zur Vermietung ihrer Besitztümer entschloss. Um die näheren Hintergründe und Absichten der Verpachtung durch die Großgrundbesitzer und Verpächter zu untersuchen, sollte man zusätzlich andere Quellen betrachten: <em>„Alle Handwerker betätigen sich einer schmutzigen Kunst. Denn eine Werkstatt kann nichts Freies haben…Der Handel aber hat, wofern er klein ist, als schmutzig zu gelten.“<a href="#_ftn4"><strong>[4]</strong></a></em> Man kann der Quelle eine ablehnende Haltung Ciceros gegenüber der Gewerbeform der <em>tabernae</em> entnehmen. Ciceros Absichten spiegeln sich in der Rolle als Großgrundbesitzer wieder, der abwertend als Verpächter dem Kleingewerbe keine Freiheit eingesteht, sondern der wahrscheinlich über die Pächter verfügen wollte. Pirson erwähnt, dass bei Verpächtern wie Cicero die <em>„ökonomische Basis in erster Linie der Großgrundbesitz war.“<a href="#_ftn5"><strong>[5]</strong></a> </em>Eine Inschrift wie: <em>„Profit ist Freude“<a href="#_ftn6"><strong>[6]</strong></a> </em>scheint die vorherrschende Denkweise in Pompeji auszudrücken. <em>„Schmutzig“</em> sollte dieses Gewerbe sein, bei dem die Verpächter an den Gewinnen des Kleingewerbes verdienten, da die Pächter an sie eine Pacht entrichten mussten. Als weitere wichtige Beweggründe für die Vermietung von <em>domus</em> kamen sozial-politische Absichten der Großgrundbesitzer hinzu, die sich, durch den Besitz und die Verpachtung von Läden, eine große Gefolgschaft in der Bevölkerung anzusammeln erhofften, um damit den Einfluss auf das gesellschaftliche und politische Geschehen einer Stadt zu vermehren.<a href="#_ftn7">[7]</a> Heutzutage spricht Pirson hierbei von <em>„ökonomischer Potenz“<a href="#_ftn8"><strong>[8]</strong></a></em>. Dabei führte der wachsende Wohlstand dazu, dass Besitztümer wie z.B. Immobilien zu Statussymbolen wurden, die für die Römer politischen Einfluss, Prestige und Machtansprüche verkörperten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Es muss an dieser Stelle überprüft werden, inwiefern sich diese Abläufe wirtschaftlichen Geschehens auf Herkulaneum übertragen lassen. Dazu soll die Casa dell`Abergo Insula III Nr. 19 aus Herkulaneum näher betrachtet werden. Der Leiter der Ausgrabungen Amedeo Maiuri sieht in der Casa dell`Albergo die <em>„größte und vielleicht reichste Wohnung des ganzen südlichen Stadtviertels“</em>.<a href="#_ftn9">[9]</a> Zu der Wohnung gehörte eine große Gartenanlage sowie eine Terrasse; von der Südseite hatte man einen guten Ausblick zur Küste. Gewisse Umgestaltungen und Veränderungen in der räumlichen Aufteilung, wie zum Beispiel, dass ein Saal der <em>casa </em>in Läden umgebaut wurde und dass fabrikähnliche Merkmale in der <em>casa </em>anstatt des zu erwartenden typischen Villentyps zu finden sind,<em> </em>lassen Maiuri schlussfolgern: <em>„Es ist also auch in Herculaneum ebenso wie in Pompeji, dass der Kaufmannsstand allmählich hochkommt, und dass es ihm schließlich gelingt sich in den reichsten Stadtwohnungen an die Stelle des alten verarmten Patrizierstandes einzudrängen.“<a href="#_ftn10"><strong>[10]</strong></a></em> Diese Ansicht von der Vermietung von Immobilien beschreibt eine andere Sichtweise als die Pirsons, insofern als dass Maiuri die Schicht der Kaufmannsleute gegenüber den Patriziern als überlegen und moderner ansieht. Genaue Gründe für eine Verarmung des Patrizierstandes nennt Maiuri nicht. Vermutlich könnte es zu einem Einbruch der kampanischen Wirtschaft durch das Erdbeben 62 n. Chr. gekommen sein.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Einerseits besaßen die Großgrundbesitzer städtische<em> domus </em>und<em> tabernae, </em>mit denen sie ihre Machtposition und ihren gesellschaftlichen Einfluss deutlich machten. Andererseits hatten sie als eigene Lebensstätten sehr prunkvolle Villen, welche, nach der Meinung des Verfassers, eine weitere wichtige Form der von Pirson beschriebenen ökonomischen Potenz darstellte und ebenso wie die städtischen verpachteten tabernae das Streben nach Ansehen und Prestige der römischen Oberschicht widerspiegelt. Auf der einen Seite lässt sich das Beispiel der <em>Villa dei Papyri </em>aus dem Nordwesten Herkulaneums anführen, die laut Capasso perfekt für die römische Aristokratie war,<a href="#_ftn11">[11]</a> weil neben prunkvoller Ausstattung eine riesige Bibliothek gefunden wurde, die als ein Statussymbol für die intellektuelle aristokratische Oberschicht galt.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Auf der anderen Seite lässt sich in Pompeji das Beispiel der <em>Casa del Fauno</em> hervorheben, die als Stadthaus mit kostbaren Mosaiken verzierte Wohnräume und eine üppige Gartenanlage aufwies. Besonders hervorzuheben waren bei den insgesamt 3200 qm² Grundfläche die <em>tabernae, </em>die wiederum an vermietbare Wohnräume angeschlossen waren. Man kann dies als ein klassisches Beispiel für die ökonomische Potenz nach Pirson anführen und somit sehen, wie diese in einer Stadt offen ausgelebt wurde: <em>„Von den Eliten der Städte wurde öffentliche Präsenz erwartet. Das galt auch für ihre Häuser, deren Fassaden im Stadtbild nach Möglichkeit Akzente setzten. Nicht nur die Breite der Hausfront entlang der Straßen auch die verwendeten Baumaterialien und der Fassadenschmuck in Form von Kapitellen und Wandvorlagen (Lisenen) hoben die Anwesen aus der umliegenden Bebauung heraus.“</em><a href="#_ftn12">[12]</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>L&#8217;habitatge, un problema absolutament preocupant en l&#8217;actualitat, no era tan digne a Roma ni tan sumptuós com ens transmeten les pel.lícules de Romans. De fet només una petita part de entre els patricis  i alguns enriquits amb el comerç es podien permetre de viure en una <em><strong>domus</strong></em> luxosa, amb peristil ple d&#8217;estàtues i fonts, jardins, amb termes privades, estàncies decorades amb pintures murals dels millors artistes, mosaics fascinants a terra, mobles i orfebreria de disseny &#8230; i un exèrcit d&#8217;esclaus per cuidar-se&#8217;n. Alguns, com C. Verres, van aprofitar els seus càrrecs per embellir casa seva. D&#8217;altres, com Neró, eren emperadors i en podien fer fins i tot d&#8217;or. Però la immensa majoria de ciutadans vivien en apartaments mal ventilats, petits, obscurs, cars&#8230;i encara molts no aconseguien pagar més que una habitació en una <em><strong>insula</strong></em> o bloc de pisos. Aquestes <em><strong>insulae</strong></em> eren tan nombroses i estaven tan mal construïdes i distribuïdes que Neró no va necessitar incendiar Roma: el foc podia propalar-se fàcilment de punta a punta de la <strong>Urbs</strong> en qüestió d&#8217;hores.</p>
<p>Al camp passava el mateix. Els propietaris de les terres, com imagineu els pocs grans propietaris, gaudien de luxoses <em><strong>villae</strong></em>, mentre que uns pocs més tenien cases més modestes i molts vivien a les cases que els seus senyors, per als quals treballaven, els prestaven. Alguns posseïen <em><strong>villae </strong></em>al camp, a la muntanya o a la platja com a segona o tercera residència, per escapar del bullici i de les responsabilitats de la ciutat, per fer una vida retirada. Com sempre, hem de reconèixer amb el poeta allò que <em>&#8220;poderoso caballero es don dinero&#8221;.</em>En fi, mireu la presentació i, si voleu, completeu-la amb les dedicades a la pintura i el mosaic.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em><a href="http://designthesign.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/simon-schubert-6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1503" title="Simon Schubert 6" src="http://designthesign.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/simon-schubert-6.jpg" alt="Simon Schubert 6" width="450" height="327" /></a></em></p>
<p>Si potrebbero definire &#8220;<strong>origami piani</strong>&#8221; le opere di <strong>Simon Schubert</strong>, artista tedesco che delinea su carta evanescenti ambienti domestici.<br />
Queste spettacolari opere, che a prima vista sembrano essere create attraverso la pressione di un punteruolo o di una matita, sono in realtà realizzate con centinaia di minuscole pieghe della carta.<br />
Schubert ha impiegato due anni per perfezionare la sua tecnica e per riuscire a ricreare questi effetti di prospettiva con il &#8220;chiaroscuro&#8221;. Il risultato è una serie di paesaggi ectoplasmatici con effetti di luce e ombre perfetti.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.simonschubert.de/papierarbeiten.html" target="_blank">Schubert</a>, in un’intervista al giornale britannico <strong>Telegraph</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“La maggior parte delle persone che vedono i lavori sono sorpresi del fatto che le immagini sono state create piegando la carta, e non credono che ciò che dico loro sia vero” </em></p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.taschen.com/pages/de/catalogue/architecture/all/03888/facts.arts_architecture_1945_54_the_complete_reprint.htm" target="_blank">Alle Ausgaben als vollständiges Faksimile des legendären Magazins, das ein Stück Zeitgeschichte der modernen amerikanischne Architektur ist &#8211; 40 Jahre nach seinem Erscheinen.</a></p>
<p>hrsg. von David Travers, Redakteur, Herausgeber und Leiter von A&#38;A</p>
<p><a href="http://www.taschen.com/media/images/640/default_va_arts_architecture_3d_01_0807041418_id_160456.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.taschen.com/media/images/640/default_va_arts_architecture_3d_01_0807041418_id_160456.jpg" alt="" width="469" height="248" /></a><em></em></p>
<p><em>Der vorliegende erste Teil der Edition umfasst zehn Schuber, die je einen kompletten Jahrgang von A&#38;A aus den Jahren 1945–54 enthalten, angefangen mit Entenzas Ausschreibung des Case Study House Program im Jahr 1945.</em></p>
<p>Während andere noch am Dienstboteneingang der Moderne warteten, stieß John Entenza vorne die Haustür weit auf. Der charismatische Herausgeber von <em>Arts &#38; Architecture</em> und Initiator des Case Study House Program war maßgeblich daran beteiligt, die amerikanische Architektur und das moderne amerikanische Design weltweit bekannt zu machen. Doch <em>A&#38;A</em> berichtete in den Jahrzehnten nach dem 2.Weltkrieg nicht nur geistreich, frisch und spannend über Architektur, sondern auch über Kunst, Musik und Politik. Dank <strong>John Entenza</strong>, der das Magazin über zwei Jahrzehnte leitete, wurde aus diesem ehrgeizigen Projekt ein Magazin, das völlig neue Maßstäbe setzte. <em>A&#38;A </em>präsentierte die größten Architekten seiner Zeit, darunter <strong>Neutra, Schindler, Saarinen, Ellwood, Lautner, Eames </strong>und <strong>Koenig</strong>. Hier wurden zwei der heute international erfolgreichsten Architekten, <strong>Frank Gehry</strong> und <strong>Richard Meier</strong>, zum ersten Mal vorgestellt. Mitwirkende am Magazin waren u. a. die Fotografen <strong>Julius Shulman </strong>und <strong>Ezra Stoller</strong>, die <strong>Autoren Esther McCoy </strong>und <strong>Peter Yates</strong> und die Cover-Designer <strong>Herbert Matter </strong>und <strong>Alvin Lustig.</strong><em> (PR-Text Taschen)</em></p>
<p>118 vollständig nachgedruckte Ausgaben, 6.076 Seiten</p>
<p>Zusätzlich Begleitheft mit einem Essay des früheren <em>A&#38;A</em>-Herausgebers David Travers , Gesamtindex und alle Inhaltsverzeichnissen der Jahre 1945–54.</p>
<p>Nach <em>Arts &#38; Architecture 1945–54</em> wird bei TASCHEN bald auch ein zweites Set mit den vollständigen Ausgaben der Jahre 1955–67 erscheinen.</p>
