I was interested to is description of Fetishism not as manifested ideas represented by objects (typical of Marzist analysis of fetishization) but as an obsession with the reflection/refraction in the code of the system of objects, or words, the fetish is then embedded in the act of play with structural differences of the sytem in question. This is a systematic analysis of the systems themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In The Politics of Difference: An Intro To Deleuze by Todd May, I found an interesting correllary, which I believe applies the significance of negative space in another way:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We do not want to say, one should live in such a way. There is no general perscription. We have done globalizing concepts. It is not a question of how we should live; it is a question of how we might live. Seen from Deleuze and Guattari's viewpoint, the question might become something like this: "What connections might we form? Or, What actualizations can we experiment with?" If we ask the question this way, we need to bear in mind that "we" is not a given we. It can be a group. It can be an individual. It can be an ecosystem or a pre-individual part or a cross-section within an environment or a geographical slice. What makes it a "we" is not the stability of an identity. It is the participation in the formation of connections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wil this participation be a matter of living together? Will it involve power? Yes to both questions. Politics is an experiment in machinic connections; it is not a distribution of goods to those who lack them. To ask how we might go about living is not to repeat the dreary question of who needs what.

Lee at dusk, got caught in the rain. Watched a 1922 Swedish/Danish silent film by Benjamin Christensen, Haxan: The Witches or Witchcraft Through The Ages. Based partly on Christensen's study of the Malleus Maleficarum, a 15th century German guide for inquisitors, Häxan is a study of how superstition and the misunderstanding of diseases and mental illness could lead to the hysteria of the witch-hunts.The film was made as a documentary but contains dramatized sequences that are comparable to horror films. With Christensen's meticulous recreation of medieval scenes and the lengthy production period, the film was the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made, costing nearly two million Swedish krona. Although it won acclaim in Denmark and Sweden, the film was banned in the United States and heavily censored in other countries for what were considered at that time graphic depictions of torture, nudity, and sexual perversion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2111596600457269814-8533518292420274213?l=aspecimen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/feeds/8533518292420274213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween-at-robert-e-lee.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/8533518292420274213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/8533518292420274213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween-at-robert-e-lee.html' title='Halloween At Robert E.

The eclipse takes place in the upper center of the painting, with a small circle, Mercury, encroaching on a large circle, the Sun. The dazzle of white triangles nearby can be explained as the impact on the naked eye as Balla looked away from his lens. The green cone may also refer to a specific retinal color effect experienced by Balla as he peered down his telescope. Balla was continuing his experiments in conveying the sensations of movement through space with the use of transparent planes, rectilinear and curving forms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I thought this was an interesting parallel to the post I made a few weeks ago with my version of a telescope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2111596600457269814-3621896292605576964?l=aspecimen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/feeds/3621896292605576964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/10/view-through-telescope.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/3621896292605576964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/3621896292605576964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/10/view-through-telescope.html' title='View Through a Telescope'/><author><name>ad Lowing</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955718056825756665</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Sw8_71TqoJI/AAAAAAAAAdo/s2m_6FwVYkg/S220/wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SuehHa6F6vI/AAAAAAAAAWY/DQQ7-pHYSUs/s72-c/balla_mercury.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111596600457269814.post-8362070704072715173</id><published>2009-10-26T17:18:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T17:22:08.005-04:00</updated><title type='text'>first attempt</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SuYSem_UzgI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/CcwK3eMV8MU/s1600-h/kite1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SuYSem_UzgI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/CcwK3eMV8MU/s400/kite1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397021520521645570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SuYSTxu0GVI/AAAAAAAAAWI/YVqarr7Rp4c/s1600-h/hmkite1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 277px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SuYSTxu0GVI/AAAAAAAAAWI/YVqarr7Rp4c/s400/hmkite1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397021334426622290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After much delay the first kite is finished.

Shot in black and white and composed of only thirty-nine languidly paced shots, the film describes the aimlessness and anomy of a small town on the Hungarian plain that falls under the fascist influence of a sinister traveling circus lugging the immense body of a whale in its tow. A young man named János tries to keep order in the increasingly restless town even as he begins to lose his faith in the unnatural and disordered universe from which God Himself seems to have disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title refers to the baroque musical theorist Andreas Werckmeister. György Eszter, a major character in the film, gives a monologue propounding a theory that Werckmeister's harmonic principles are responsible for aesthetic and philosophical problems in all music since, which need to be undone by a new theory of tuning and harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt, I will return this to you later this week..I've had it for almost a year..sorry!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2111596600457269814-1539370554120193632?l=aspecimen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/feeds/1539370554120193632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/10/werckmiester-harmonies.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/1539370554120193632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/1539370554120193632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/10/werckmiester-harmonies.html' title='Werckmeister Harmonies'/><author><name>ad Lowing</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955718056825756665</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Sw8_71TqoJI/AAAAAAAAAdo/s2m_6FwVYkg/S220/wall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111596600457269814.post-1403358362579643461</id><published>2009-10-11T15:12:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T16:26:56.619-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Robert Grafias'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wish'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='field recording'/><title type='text'>Record</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/StIuk2yXNGI/AAAAAAAAAUo/yeQvupAszgc/s1600-h/sound-editing-4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 345px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/StIuk2yXNGI/AAAAAAAAAUo/yeQvupAszgc/s400/sound-editing-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391422914632823906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been trying to organize all of my recordings to share them here, but I am still working on it.

The low quality image of the video is said to enhance the ideas within it. The video relates Rock and Roll to contemporary culture and the Shaker religion.

Like the Peters map, the grid is rectangular and lines of latitude and longitude are all parallel. The Mercator map was designed as an aid to navigators since straight lines on the Mercator projection are loxodromes or rhumb lines -- representing lines of constant compass bearing -- perfect for "true" direction. If a navigator wishes to sail from Spain to the West Indies, all they have to do is draw a line between the two points and the navigator knows which compass direction to continually sail to reach their destination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The Mercator map has always been a poor projection for a world map yet due to its rectangular grid and shape, geographically illiterate publishers found it useful for wall maps, atlas maps, and maps in books and newspapers published by non-geographers. It became the standard map projection in the mental map of most westerners. The argument against the Mercator projection by the pro-Peters folks usually discusses its "advantage for colonial powers" by making Europe look a lot larger than it actually is on the globe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SrZbfqlwi-I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/xZ_4m0hcXkc/s1600-h/PetersMap470pix.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 258px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SrZbfqlwi-I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/xZ_4m0hcXkc/s400/PetersMap470pix.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383591004134738914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;font-family:verdana, geneva, helvetica;font-size:85%;"  &gt;German historian and journalist Arno Peters (his Ph.D. dissertation focused on political propaganda) called a press conference in 1973 to announce his "new" map projection that treated each country fairly by representing area accurately. The Peters projection map utilized a rectangular coordinate system that showed parallel lines of latitude and longitude. Skilled at marketing, Arno claimed that his map more fairly displayed third world countries than the "popular" Mercator projection map, which distorts and dramatically enlarges the size of Eurasian and North American countries. The media had a field day with this new map that supposedly made things right for the oppressed people of the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maps are bias, as long as we know this it's OK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2111596600457269814-6628872629634062178?l=aspecimen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/feeds/6628872629634062178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/09/mirror-maps.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/6628872629634062178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/6628872629634062178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/09/mirror-maps.html' title='mirror maps'/><author><name>ad Lowing</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955718056825756665</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Sw8_71TqoJI/AAAAAAAAAdo/s2m_6FwVYkg/S220/wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SrZbgMsgFoI/AAAAAAAAAPY/HWCJqKJvGfc/s72-c/world-map.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111596600457269814.post-1817939676351304703</id><published>2009-09-15T17:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T18:03:14.862-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Strange Loop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SrAPDAi3oEI/AAAAAAAAAPI/faIf4ZaN1eU/s1600-h/strangeloop.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

The structure of the talk, dictated by the architectural/institutional environment as well the passive, unprepared promptings and input from the mediator Sheilah Kast was, in my opinion, weak. This is not to say I didn't glean much from the experience. It was interesting to see how brilliant individuals can be simplified by the easily digestible rhetoric of an overly embellished narrative format (thanks Amy Goodman) turning them into idols or iconic figures that go unengaged by a paralyzed, self-congratulatory audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were moments of realness: Angela Davis mentioned the importance of the ability to "Separately analyze entities that have been considered inseparable by the structure that defines them as such, and to find commonalities in entities that are separated, to study why this is and question the basis of these classifications"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This topic was amazing, and terrifyingly open, this sort of talk doesn't hold up well in the Performer/Audience format that this particular talk took place in, so it was quickly glazed over with the usual rhetoric of criticizing the Obama Administration, health care reform ect... there were plenty of loaded words the incited standing ovations and raised fists, but it felt like no one was listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helen Molesworth was concise and extremely well spoken, guiding the other speakers into realms that were more conducive to relating to the students. She mentioned that young people are working for predecessors, not their ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;Sadly the question/answer period (which consisted of older audience members rambling about how they heard about the "Women's Lib" movement) was cut short by MICA Events Coordinator Firmin DeBrabander announcing that there would be "Books For SALE upstairs!" instructing everyone to leave already.  I was disappointed that the student voice was completely stifled by the format of the talk. I wanted to talk about my insecurities with being a feminist at an art school, how to include this discourse and knowledge into a studio practice, is it irresponsible to neglect this aspect of myself? Clearly I would not expect any of the members of the panel to answer these questions, but I think hearing these topics voiced would have been beneficial for the student body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I assume that it is relatively clear that I may be losing my mind and/or still trying to digest all of this. I will post an audio file or video of the talk as soon as I can get a hold of one, accompanied with more analysis. It is the structure of the discussion responding, relating, and perhaps mirroring the very structures it set about to shed light on that I am interested in, and would like to further explore this.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2111596600457269814-7309788353513557766?l=aspecimen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/feeds/7309788353513557766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/09/constitution-day.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/7309788353513557766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/7309788353513557766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/09/constitution-day.html' title='Constitution Day'/><author><name>ad Lowing</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955718056825756665</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Sw8_71TqoJI/AAAAAAAAAdo/s2m_6FwVYkg/S220/wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Sq06N_QGIfI/AAAAAAAAAOg/oDUWXDZaSaQ/s72-c/usflag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111596600457269814.post-3489217019514074516</id><published>2009-09-12T14:57:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-12T15:26:22.707-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peter coffin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='contemporary museum'/><title type='text'>Opening Tonight</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/SqvzpdbnEyI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/kr2A2TxsZu8/s1600-h/mkebmore.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The debate over pluralism began as early as the time of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales" title="Thales"&gt;Thales&lt;/a&gt; ( about 600 BC ) and has continued, in a variety of forms, until the modern era.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2111596600457269814-1253712495434374179?l=aspecimen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/feeds/1253712495434374179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/08/first-day-night-of-school.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/1253712495434374179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2111596600457269814/posts/default/1253712495434374179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aspecimen.blogspot.com/2009/08/first-day-night-of-school.html' title='First Day (night) of School'/><author><name>ad Lowing</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01955718056825756665</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Sw8_71TqoJI/AAAAAAAAAdo/s2m_6FwVYkg/S220/wall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Spw7daWIHSI/AAAAAAAAALQ/GclcajYvgbM/s72-c/320px-Bruno-demokritos.svg.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111596600457269814.post-7905836277564600166</id><published>2009-08-30T13:10:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-30T13:26:08.183-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fritjof Capra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free stuff'/><title type='text'>Found</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Spq09DsvaTI/AAAAAAAAALA/iitYcf6OjM0/s1600-h/6a00c225283a8c8fdb011017b43466860e-500pi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qomVr1zQUjs/Spq09DsvaTI/AAAAAAAAALA/iitYcf6OjM0/s320/6a00c225283a8c8fdb011017b43466860e-500pi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375808066278091058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best dumpster find: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Tao of Physics &lt;/span&gt;found at &lt;a href="http://%3ciframe%20width=%22425%22%20height=%22240%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20scrolling=%22no%22%20marginheight=%220%22%20marginwidth=%220%22%20src=%22http//maps.google.com/maps/sv?cbp=12,180,,0,5&amp;amp;cbll=41.85217,-87.676024&amp;amp;panoid=&amp;amp;v=1&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;gl=us%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Csmall%3E%3Ca%20href=%22http://maps.google.com/maps?q=S+Damen+Ave+%26+W+21st+Pl,+Chicago,+Cook,+Illinois+60608&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;geocode=FaSgfgIdMSzG-g&amp;amp;split=0&amp;amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;amp;sspn=23.875,57.630033&amp;amp;ll=41.862082,-87.671671&amp;amp;spn=0.00927,0.014312&amp;amp;z=14&amp;amp;iwloc=A&amp;amp;layer=c&amp;amp;cbll=41.85217,-87.676024&amp;amp;panoid=t0gGV_VsnvbYtBAznPLTYg&amp;amp;cbp=12,180,,0,5&amp;amp;source=embed%22%20style=%22color:#0000FF;text-align:left%22%3EView%20Larger%20Map%3C/a%3E%3C/small%3E"&gt;2000 W.
