Trowbridge woman's memoirs provide therapy
7:00am Monday 9th December 2013 in Latest News By Adam Care
Writing her memoirs was a therapeutic experience for amateur actress Sheila Hansford, helping her to make peace with her abusive grandmother.
Mrs Hansford, 76, of Orchard Way in North Bradley, Trowbridge, spent three months working on the first part of her life story, from a wartime childhood in Southampton to living with grandparents and a Quaker children's home following her parents' deaths.
She said: "Everybody I spoke to about my childhood said, 'Why don't you write about it?' It was very therapeutic. I have always written travel memoirs, but I've never done anything like this."
A keen playwright and actress, she came to Trowbridge with husband Kenneth in 1965 and has been a regular with the Trowbridge Players.

text: See, I think that's an awesome attitude. I shouldn't have said I never show anything, I know there's a chance that some breast shows, but I don't mind, as I view bfing as natural. That being said, I think that everyone has a different comfort level and you being comfortable covered DOES show other women that bfing is natural and fits into every women's lifestyle.

Overall, it was a great trip. We only ended up staying one night because we really had to get back home. The park was nice enough to give us a refund!

Austin >Bars & Clubs > Mean Eyed Cat
1621 W Fifth St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870330.274579 -97.764781
Neighborhoods: Old West Austin
Named after a Johnny Cash song, this ramshackle bar is so delightfully out of place on fancy west 5th. With creaky wooden floors, broken in (and/or broken) furniture, and a jug band/singer-songwriter/hillbilly music lineup, it draws an eclectic crowd almost every night of the week. And before 2004, it was Cut-Rite Chain Saws, where Dennis Hopper visits in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.
The Cat's Meow – Having just moved to Austin, my husband and & I are on a mission to frequent every dive bar in town (although he may not know that yet). A group of us started out at Donn's Depot up the road (the midget stripper pole and monkey swing in the ladies' bathroom are good for a few laughs), and never made it past the Mean-Eyed Cat.
It was AWESOME. You walk into this crazy two room shack and everywhere you look, Johnny Cash is flipping you off. It was a Friday night, the place was packed and the only pool table was empty. Perfect! There was only one bartender, but he was really fast, efficient and super friendly.
The patio was great for a summer night hang-out. It's basically a concrete slab with a tin roof thrown on for good measure, the furniture all looks like it was saved just before it hit the local dump, the decorator was clearly tripping out when the decor went up. But, they do have fans going and they even leave out cans of bug spray to ward off any bastard mosquitos. Fabulous!
In a city where the motto encourages you to keep it weird, this place is doing it's best!
sevice issues... – Short and sweet of it is the location is great, but there are plenty choices in Austin. Service was terrible and the bartender was rude.
Not worth your time and/or money – Don't waste your time. The location is really great! Unfortunately, the bartender has a seriously negative attitude and anger management problem. It's too bad for the owner, because the staff's attitude really does set the atmosphere. Personal issues/problems should be left at home. There are so many cool and hard-working bartenders looking for jobs in Austin right now... that would be less of a liability for the owner. Too many other great bars in Austin to hang out!
***Check out Donn's Depot across the street instead...you won't be disappointed!***
???? – is this bar a lesbian bar...bc i had passed by yesterday and i saw rainbow lights? please someone comment back so i can know
Cool Spot – I've lived in Austin for years and have driven by the Mean Eyed Cat thousands of times. I stopped by a few weekends ago and had a pitcher of beer with some friends. Although this is considered a "dive" bar, it's pretty nice on the inside for a dive bar and has a great outdoor patio you can sit at. This is definitely an Austin spot and a great place to hang out with friends.
I hope the condos don't ruin it – This is a fun bar to sit outside and feel like you're somewhere out in the Texas Hill Country. It has a relaxed icehouse feel, but it's full of rock 'n rollers instead of bikers. Convenient location across from El Arroyo makes it a good first stop while you're on your way into town for a night of fun.
Pseudo-Dive Bar – This place is just OK. I know this is listed as a "dive bar" on this site, but I really don't think it's as much a dive as a trendy hotspot. It's too contrived and it seems to try too hard to be a dive bar. The people are a little too hip and probably go there because going to "dive" bars may be in now, but anyone who has been to the Poodle Dog or Lala's can tell the real thing.
Best Bar in town – This is a great bar! The guys behind the bar a very friendly and cool. Great atmosphere! I always feel comfortable there and have a great time!
Packed on friday and saturday nights for good reason – I have spent many a night talking with friends over pitchers of Lonestar on the patio of Mean Eyed Cat. It's a great place, very chill. Everyone I've met there is very friendly. It's a great place to go with friends when you actually want to talk to them and don't want to be yelling over bad pop music. Beer is pretty cheap too. Go check it out.
Kickin' it at the Cat – The Cat is my current favorite for a quick beer or two or six. It's easy to get to, always has close parking and the bar staff is great. Sure, there's the total Johnny Cash theme but the jukebox also includes the Pixies, Ozzie and much, much more. The beer specials are good and the patio, although small, is nice at night. Check it out!

Have you noticed that more and more wines are coming with screw caps instead of corks? And not just Thunderbird and other inexpensive brands.
Well, I for one am appreciative of that trend. I wish all wines came that way. Opening wine bottles can be quite a challenge.
The other night I really had a tough time drawing the cork. By the time I finally got the cork out, I hardly had enough of it left to sniff. In fact I was grateful that I had enough wine left to drink.
Yes I am in favor of the easier-to-open screw caps. In fact, you might say, I am in favor of easier-to-open just about anything, but my front door.
Even prescription drugs and over the counter drugs can be a struggle to open.
In view of past tampering (remember the Tylenol scare and recall of a few years ago), I can understand the necessity for tamper-proof caps.
But that's medication where we are talking about risks that could be considered life or death situations.
But how about our everyday purchases?
Opening almost everything you buy is more difficult than it used to be. So much of it comes encapsulated in impossible-to-open packaging.
Recently, after one such struggle to free some purchase from its entombment, I turned to my wife and asked why someone hadn't invented something to help us with this increasingly Herculean task.
"What task?" she asked.
The task of trying to open a package and extract the contents from their encasement.
"You mean like the CD player that was imbedded in plastic that you struggled with this morning? Or the corkscrew we had so much trouble with last week?"
Exactly. I think they call it cryovac because it makes you cry just trying to breakthrough.
"Usually I have to use shears to get through the plastic in order to pry it open. That's why I call it pryovac," my wife said as her blood pressure began to rise.
Nothing like a hard-to-open package to get your blood flowing — sometimes literally, I added. It's pretty easy to cut yourself and then you might require first aid, like a band aid or even a tourniquet.
"Right, and if it's a band aid, look out," Barbara said. "What can be more frustrating than to try to find the little thread to pull to open it and 99 percent of the time the thread doesn't even work, so you may need a scissor."
Yes and risk another cut. You could bleed to death before you get it open. And that is adding injury to insult.
"And how about those little condiment packages you get at a fast food store and that they used to give you on the planes when they were providing snacks," she added, getting into the spirit of things.
Yup, those too.
"They put a mark on those tiny packets where you're supposed to open it, but it usually takes your teeth or one of the plastic forks to get it open. And by then half the contents are either on your fingers or your clothes and the fork is broken and maybe your teeth, too. At the very least you'll have a toothache. Maybe a dentist invented them."
Someone should be able to invent something to open them besides shears which you don't always have handy and which you definitely can't take on a plane. After all, someone finally came up with a gadget to open the seal on a CD without tearing the cover or breaking the box. It can be done.
"It's like the companies that produce these products offer a special bonus to the most difficult-to-open packaging," mused Barbara.
And I can see the production and marketing division executives meeting to assure that only the toughest suggestions are considered and then announcing with glee the winning submission.
"And my fantasy is to walk in on one of those meetings and challenge them to open their own packaging," added Barbara with glee of her own.
Yeah, that would certainly give them something to chew on. In the meantime, let's open another bottle of wine. Do you have the corkscrew?

Landing in Hobart was a bit of a shock as it was only 13 degrees C, the coldest since Germany 3 months earlier. Got picked up by Tammy and her sister at the airport and got the full rundown on the Tasmania branch of our family in the 4 years since I had been there last time. Francis and Bill have both got married, Bill has a baby with another on the way. Matthew was working on a big Russian ship that was going to the south pole. Got to their house to meet Xavier who's only 2 but the size of a 4 year old, Tammy who was on crutches due to hip problems was having problems keeping up with him.
Booked 3 nights in a local hostel beforehand which was a bit of a dump compared to when I stayed at a different one last time. It felt very strange walking around Hobart again, walked up a nearby big hill and got slightly sunburned. Went to visit Colleen but it took 3 attempts to catch her when she was in. She had not changed a bit since last time I was there, her life still revolved around the Church.
Matthew and Tammy were going to travel round the north of Tasmania for a few days and invited me to join them. So with me looking after Xavier in the back we headed north. Tasmania looks nothing on the map next to the Australian mainland but its several hours drive to the North coast. A lot of the island seemed empty with long distances between towns and villages. On the way to Devonport we stopped at 2 houses to see people Matthew and Tammy knew. The second one was like a farmhouse and they had 2 massive st Bernard dogs!!!! By the time we got there it was late and Matthew was suffering a bit from the few beers he had round the 2 houses.
The following morning I was taken on a tour of Devonport which included a trip on an old train (the Don river railway) then headed in the direction of Launceston. Matthew got bit on the back when he was driving, thankfully it was a harmless beetle and not a dodgy spider.
Before heading back to Hobart we went to the Cataract gorge with the worlds longest chairlift. Also seen a blue tongue lizard...
Back in Hobart I stopped the last 2 nights round Colleens. During this time we went to visit Frances her new husband and her kids who didn't remember me that well from when I went in 2004. Didn't see Bill as he was very busy with work, but it was good to see everyone else again. Some of them have mentioned coming to visit us in England one day.

Your stories are always fascinating of all of your travels.
How do you afford to travel so much?
Prior to that trip I was never a "big earner" as strange as it may sound.Still live at home in my 30s, have no costly things like cars/kids etc I don't even own a mobile phone. I never seem to spend much and save a lot.Strange thing about this website it that I will first be publishing my travel stories then the events and factors which led to me going.

David Kramer is a real estate agent at Hilton & Hyland in Beverly Hills. He was the agent for the buyer of the Spelling mansion and was ranked #15 in real estate agents nationwide by the Wall Street Journal. He answers questions for Yahoo! Shine about the best and worst times to sell and finding the right home for you.
"The most exciting sale I had," says Kramer, "was the sale of the Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills." He notes that it was an interesting real estate deal for him to make. "You had a lot of very powerful people and you're wedged in between them. And everyone needs to be happy because they have the money to do what they want, and you're the ping pong ball making sure that they are happy." He and his client were at the right place at the right time, he says, and Candy Spelling was ready to sell, simplify her life, and move on.
Related: How to invest in realestate
He adds that the transaction was difficult but a lot of fun, noting that the new owners didn't really care about the specific rooms (like the doll rooms and the gift wrapping room). They wanted to make it their own--and they did.However, they did keep the bowling alley, which Kramer says has elements of a chic club. The 56,500 square foot house (not including the attic) was listed at $150 million, and he got it for his client, a 22-year-old heiress, at $85 million in 2011.
According to Kramer, "When you're dealing with the high end, I have an expression I always say. 'We're not in the need business, we're in the want business.'" He has clients tell him what they want, not what they need."Everything goes. And we're in the business to find it for them."
Related: Have I bought theright house? 5 questions to ask yourself
Kramer says that people often have a dream home scenario in their head, but a lot of times it doesn't exist. "What I tell people to do is put together a list of what you need and what you want and what you expect in a home, and then don't look for a house. Just say, I'm going to look at homes, but I'm not going to look for a home. And get an idea of what's out there. And you might surprise yourself and find something you didn't think you would."
Everyone wants to know how to get a good deal in real estate, says Kramer. He notes that typically there are seasons to watch. According to Kramer, a good time to sell is pre-summer and summer, when people are looking to settle into a new home before the next school year begins. December can also be a good time for sales, as some buyers want the tax benefits before the end of the year. Conversely, if you are looking to buy a home, there may be more inventory at these times, but there is also more competition.
"The most important thing you can do," Kramer says, "is really diligently learn the scenario of the seller and the situation. Beyond that, the best way to get a good deal is not to be emotionally attached to the house." He adds that you have to think about your motivation. Is it to get the house you want or to get the better deal? "If it's a better deal, then be prepared to walk away."
Real estate is always a good investment, says Kramer. "There's a saying that real estate gets sick but never dies," he adds.
"When you're buying a home, make sure it's something you're really happy with," says Kramer. "It may not be exactly your dream house. But it is your home and it's going to be your home for a long time. You may raise your children there. So don't save a few dollars on a purchase and get the one you don't want. Make sure you're happy."

Farm Credit Services of America
Omaha, Nebraska
"We have a strong relationship with Cox Business Services and we see that partnership continuing down the road as we continue to grow and expand our business"
Jim Modde - Chief security officer and director of network and communications, FCSAmerica
Services Provided: Internet Local access to Sprint Frame Relay, Disaster Recovery, Expanded Basic Cable
Moving a company's national headquarters is no easy task. Farm Credit Services of America, an agricultural loan company based in Omaha, Neb., knew to expect some surprises along the way. But never did it expect to face a major technological challenge. And one upon which the company's livelihood was dependant.
Every day, FCSAmerica's 47 retail and regional offices connect to its network to access resources provided by national financial institutions and specialized service organizations. This commitment to its retail offices came into jeopardy when FCSAmerica learned Sonet Ring Service was not available in its new location just west of the city. According to FCSAmerica, the news came after the company had already started building its new headquarters. FCSAmerica had just months to find service before the move-in date.
"Our Sonet Ring Service provider couldn't provide redundant fiber links to the new location, even after they said they could," said Jim Modde, chief security officer and director of network and communications for FCSAmerica. "We had no alternative but to look for a solution, and we found that with Cox."
In one phone call, Modde learned the advantage of Cox's state-of-the-art broadband network – business-grade broadband Internet services are available to all customers, including FCSAmerica with its new building located 10 miles west of downtown Omaha.
"Cox already had fiber running down the street," Modde said. "I asked Cox if they could give us a redundant path and they said 'absolutely.' So it was a marriage made in heaven."
Initially, Cox Business was to provide a broadband Internet connection and redundant connectivity to Sprint Frame Relay – services that are imperative to the company's survival.
"We chose Cox for its superior technology and customer service," Modde said. "Plus, the local leadership said they were in the position to make decisions locally that could be tailored to our needs. We wouldn't have to go up the chain if problems arose."
Modde had the opportunity to experience Cox's local commitment immediately. Days before FCSAmerica's move-in date, Modde discovered a common problem – the company needed more bandwidth. In less than 48 hours, Cox installed a 20 Mbps pipe that enabled the company to move into the new building on schedule with no issues.
"Cox Business was able to help us in a timely manner that met our deadlines and exceeded our expectations," Modde said. "Cox literally saved the day by providing the extra bandwidth we needed."
Because of Cox Business' flexibility, technology and quick delivery, FCSAmerica was fully connected when it moved into its new building. Dave Martin, senior vice president and chief information officer for FCSAmerica, said Cox was instrumental in ensuring the company's continued existence.
"Without that circuit, it would have been nearly impossible to connect to our 47 retail and regional offices," Modde said. FCSAmerica is so pleased with Cox that it added more circuits for remote mobile connectivity, and is planning to add additional services.
"We have a strong relationship with Cox Business and we see that partnership continuing down the road as we continue to grow and expand our business. Based on the excellent customer service that we've received, I would highly recommend their services to other entities," Modde said.

If you're gonna hangout with dead chicks in the graveyard, you could do a lot worst than UFC Octagon fav Arianny Celeste. The girl looks surprisingly sexy ... for a corpse.
Alisnon Brie and Gillian Anderson have an unusual fetish for 1960s lingerie. It's a fetish we fully support, too.
The female body is an amazing creation. Its form is highlighted even more in contortionist poses to create motorbikes. Confused? Check out the video and get ready for a mind trip.
Cassie Ventura works it for the camera in this "love cat"-themed photo shoot. Even if you're not a cat person, this is one fine feline you probably wouldn't mind rubbing against your leg.

Abstraction Colored by Race
Sam Gilliam works with form and hue, but we always see history in it.
This is Sam Gilliam's "One Thunder", from a show at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery on abstraction by Black artists – about as vexed a subject as you could ask for. Does Blackness, as a social color, change the hue of all the other colors it touches? Does the very fact of a Black artist not working with figuration, and not addressing issues of race, become a salient refusal – and therefore as political as anything else? This 1970 Gilliam strikes me as notably concise and self-contained, from an artist who hit his stride by sprawling work across rooms. It also evokes the pointed hood and robes of a Klansman.
This is the last Daily Pic to be cross-posted to TheDailyBeast.com. The series will continue uninterrupted at BlakeGopnik.com, and there should be news soon about a new second venue.
Our Kids' Purgatory
Greg Miller catches school children as they wait for their bus to come in.
A photo from the series "The Bus Stop at the End of the Driveway", by Greg Miller, again from the faculty show at the school of the International Center of Photography in New York. The title is more or less self-explanatory: These are exurban kids waiting for their school buses in the early a.m. Ryan's photos represent a moment and a place and an event – and even figures – that we mostly overlook. It's always great to see photography doing its job of ostension.
Computer-Art Fossils
In 1969, Frederick Hammersley was already playing with CPUs and printers.
"Jelly Centers" was made in 1969 by Frederick Hammersley, one of the first artists to make serious use of computers and their printers. It's now in a group show at Bortolami gallery in New York. I am just (barely) old enough to remember when computer-generated art was new, and hot, so what strikes me most about Hammersley's piece is how something that once seemed so clearly to yield a vision of the future now is all about nostalgia for a vanished past. Those feed-holes on the paper's sides are enough to bring a wistful tear to a programmer's eye.
Greater Than The Mona Lisa
To celebrate the 1,000th Daily Pic, we declare "Las Meninas" the West's greatest hit.
In honor of the Daily Pic's 1,000th post, I'm revisiting Velazquez's "Las Meninas", which was the "Pic" that got my project started. (Click here to see the image hugely enlarged.) Back in August of 2010, I climbed on my new soapbox and suggested that the work might be "The greatest picture in the Western world", without giving reasons. A few months later, I spent a solid week with the canvas, then argued my position at rather great length. And now, even after one thousand Pics, I don't have much to add, except to note how brilliantly the picture has refused to turn into the empty icon that the Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's "David" have become. Velazquez's masterpiece, dubbed "the theology of painting" shortly after it was made, is simply too rich and complex to bear compression into a fridge magnet's mental space. Portions of the painting – the Infanta herself; her dog and dwarf – have suffered that fate, but the whole has mostly escaped it. The truth is, I feel more than a bit guilty trying to squeeze this endless work into the limits of a single Daily Pic. Better to think of it as the creative force that has lurked behind the last 999 of them.
A Martian's Eye View of Modern Art
Tomoo Gokita paints worlds no one has seen.
"Mystic Revelation" is one of the deeply peculiar paintings by the Japanese artist Tomoo Gokita, now gettting his first solo at Mary Boone Gallery in New York. Gokita's pictures feel like they were made by someone surveying the entire history of 20th-century art afresh, with no special attachment to any particular moments, and asserting no hierarchy between them. Normally, the idea that a work is "timeless" is both praise and empty cliche. Here "timelessness" yields anxiety, and a sense of a world out of whack. Even reference seems to float free: Are those ten appendages swollen fingers, or dreadlocks, or sea cucumbers? The surrealism in these pictures doesn't seem to come from recombining what's out in the world, so much as from not recognizing reality's parts.
Iron Man XVII
Richard Serra repeats the right stuff, at last.
One of the sadder statements I've heard an artist make came from the famous tough-guy sculptor Richard Serra, in 2007, when he waxed lyrical about the popularity he'd finally achieved with his light-and-lively, oft-repeated "Torqued Ellipses", compared to the "hostility" he'd encountered from viewers of the weighty, challenging, protean art of his earlier career. In New York now, at Gagosian Gallery's 21st Street space, Serra has installed the latest iteration of his crowd-pleasing playground pieces, lighter and livelier than ever – I once called them "Dale Chihuly's glass baubles, blown up big for the heavy-metal set". But then at Gagosian's 24th Street space, Serra has new works – including the "7 Plates, 6 Angles" shown here – that point back to the heft and risk of his earlier art. Of course these are derivative, too, almost as though Serra were his own pupil, or a forger of his own pieces. But at least they "forge" (pun intended) the pieces by him that matter.
Guys Gone Tame
Jeanette May's photos show men at ease in their bachelor pads.
"Bachelor #2, Jeff", shot by Jeanette May in 2011, is from a series called "Bachelor Pads", now in the show of faculty work at the school of the International Center of Photography. It particularly appealed to me because of a historical precedent I've written about before: According to the architectural historian Beatriz Colomina, the idea of the high-design "bachelor pad" was popularized by Playboy in the 1950s and 60s, and was "sold" to men by posing naked women on the furniture. Its nice to see that, 40 years later, men have settled into their "pads", as normal places to live, and can be their own cheesecake.
Liberace Would Have Balked
At the Met, jewels by JAR may be tacky junk, but they tell us about ourselves.
OK, so I'm on the record – this morning, on Marketplace – as hating the jewelry of the Parisian gemster known as JAR (a.k.a Joel A. Rosenthal). But that doesn't mean that this tacky butterfly brooch, from 1994, isn't deeply interesting and informative as a shiny little fragment of visual culture – and so worthy of a Daily Pic.
As I argued on the radio, the solo show of JAR tchotchkes now at the Metropolitan Museum in New York helps us keep in mind how entirely our culture has been taken over by the values of the ultra-rich. JAR's gewgaws have nothing to do with serious artistic thought, such as other contemporary jewelers are engaging with; JAR makes empty-headed twinkly stuff that any little girl would want for her princess costume. But as things stand today, if you can get the price tag on such objects up high enough, they begin to command respect. In the 21st century, money doesn't talk, it outshouts everything else.
Beauty in Bondage
Robert Mapplethorpe used old forms for forbidden content.
Who else could this shot be by than Robert Mapplethorpe? It's a 1980 image titled "Leather Crotch", and it's in the Mapplethorpe survey now at Sean Kelly gallery in New York. I visited with a smart artist and an art-historian friend, and somehow we got caught up in the same-old Mapplethorpe debate: Is his aesthetic too conservative and Edward Weston-ish for its own good, or can we ignore that because of the radical subjects he shoots? Afterward, I realized the obvious solution to the (non-)issue: Mapplethorpe's art matters most when it uses the old Modernist tropes to display his new subjects. Finding a new, radical language to show bondage gear would have been almost a capitulation to the sidelining that gay culture had suffered for decades; by using the established language of elite art, Mapplethorpe could insist on a retrospective insertion of gay culture into the aesthetic mainstream. He could be the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing, while saying that wolfskin is in.
Masterpiece Smackdown: Warhol's 'Empire' vs. Marclay's 'Clock'
Two endurance movies go head-to-head
Last weekend, I spent seven-plus hours watching all of Warhol's great "Empire", which consists of unedited footage of the Empire State Building that he shot in 1964. My account of the screening appeared in print in today's New York Times, while all 5,500 words of the minute-by-minute notes that I took at the screening are up at my new Warholiana.com Web site. But for all that looking and thinking and writing, I missed something obvious, pointed out to me over drinks last night by Tom DeKay, former art editor at the Times and now editor-in-chief of ArtInfo.com: The obvious counterpoint to Warhol's meditation on passing time is Christian Marclay's superb "Clock", from 2010, which cuts together 24 hours' worth of Hollywood images of clocks and watches and all things temporal, so that the collage of times seen on-screen match the real times on a viewer's watch. The two pieces are analogues, yes, but also importantly and surprisingly different: In Warhol, nothing happens, and that's its greatest virtue – it teaches cinematic patience; Marclay's "Clock" gives us a constant stream of event, more like the insane flicker of an Olympic chronometer than the pace of a clockless day at the shore. It perfectly suits our current attention spans. I adore Marclay's "Clock", and have spent many hours entranced by it; it is irresistible and ceaselessly compelling. But I guess I believe the Warhol is the more challenging, complex, surprising piece. It overcomes our doubts, rather than confirming our pleasures.
Child Labor ... of Love
Lewis Hine saw beauty in the oppressed kids he shot.
"Paris Gamin" was shot in about 1918 by Lewis Hine, and is in the fabulous survey of his work that's on view for only a few more days at the International Center of Photography. Hine, of course, is famous for his images of working people – mostly children – stuck in an unjust and cruel system. His photos of kids, especially, are almost unfailingly touching and sensitive, conveying the sense (true or false) that the photographer genuinely felt for them. The only problem is that this leads Hine to make his subjects look luminous and gorgeous – with this French urchin as a prime example. They might as well have been shot by a fashion photog. And, in the presence of so much beauty and elegance, it's hard to feel that there's much wrong with the world. Hines's pictures don't make us feel miserable enough, for the misery of their subjects to impinge fully on us. There's too much love in them.
The Fine Art of Recycling
G. William Webb turns old bricks into new sculpture.
This 14-inch terracotta drum is called "Quantity", and it's a days-old work by G. William Webb, now on view in a group show at the little Room East gallery in New York. At first it comes across as a supremely elegant example of modernist formalism – a kind of apotheosis or archetype of the shape that a potter's wheel most naturally forms. It turns out, however, that there's a backstory. Webb made his clay from ancient bricks that he found on walks in Brooklyn, then smashed to a powder with a sledge hammer. The darker dot on top is actually a hole into the drum, filled to the brim with Webb's raw brick dust. So the piece is still about archetypal ceramics, but this time understood as having a history.

Guy Fawkes Mask at the New York Public Library is the Daily Pic by Blake Gopnik
In 2011, designer Adam Bezer gave us this Guy Fawkes mask. We may want to don it again.
Remember this? Three years on, doesn't it already feel like a leftover from a bygone era? Isn't that too bad?
This version of the Occupy mask appeared in The Occupied Wall Street Journal, in November 2011, thanks to the designer Adam Bezer. It's now on view as one of the least light-hearted objects in a show called "Play Things", at the main branch of the New York Public Library. The mask reminds me that many of the most important improvements in American life – women's rights, union rights, Black rights – only came about after demonstrators took to the street, and risked life and limb for their goals. Occupy, with its public theatrics, was central to our slow-dawning awareness of this country's chasm between have-nots and have-way-too-much-es. If the majority's going to take back its share of the nation's riches, those Guy Fawkes masks may need to go on again.
Lou Reed Was Putty in Warhol's Hands
In a filmed "Screen Test", Andy turned the singer into his creation.
In honor of Lou Reed's recent death, here he is in 1966, in a still from the last of this week's five "Screen Tests", on loan from the Warhol Museum and now being projected at the museum of the Rhode Island School of Design. (There's a bootleg clip of the Reed piece on YouTube.) This is what most people who know the "Tests" imagine them to be: Footage of one gorgeous or compelling or (soon-to-be-)famous person, seen staring impassively, revealingly into Warhol's camera for a solid four minutes. (Although each shoot took only three minutes, Warhol wanted the "Tests" screened in slight slow motion, exaggerating the duration of the encounter.) This particular "Test" could almost be an ad for Reed, the new-minted rock star: The black turtleneck and half-moon lighting clearly echo Robert Freeman's famous "With the Beatles" cover from 1963. With his head enlarged by the projector to many times life size, Reed comes across as the archetypal teen idol, a true "Face" in the Mod sense of the word. It's how Warhol might have shown Dylan in the "Screen Test" that I Pic'd yesterday – but didn't.
With Reed, Warhol isn't digging deep into the soul of his sitter, although that's the ancient cliche that's often attached to all of these portraits. We watch instead as Warhol, manager and "discoverer" (in theory) of Reed's band, asserts that the singer is his own private creation. It's a portrait of Reed, but it shows us Warhol as he plays Pygmalion.
Warhol vs. Dylan
Andy films Bob, and KOs him.
A still from the second-to-last Warhol "Screen Test" that I'll be showing this week, thanks to a show of 20 now at the museum of the Rhode Island School of Design, on loan from the Warhol Museum. This four-minute film shows Bob Dylan, and its hardly a secret that Warhol and Dylan had tensions, to say the least, since they were rivals as leaders of their cultural moment. Although today's "Screen Test" seems quite like the cover-girl ones Warhol did of his beauties (male and female), it subtly conspires to chip away at Dylan: the lens is on the high side, which shrinks and fattens its subject, and the lighting often pushes Dylan's eyes into shadow. Dylan seems pouty and self-absorbed, like any self-respecting beauty, but thanks to Warhol's artifice he never delivers the appeal we expect. If the "Screen Tests" can seem like a mostly conceptual gambit, it's clear that in some cases their visual subtleties matter.

Is it Time to Reassess this Paradigm?
13/07/2012 § 16 Comments
Image Credit: http://zapatopi.net/labs/
Last year, HLS's founder Micah wrote a post about the "publish or perish" paradigm. He shares (or shared then, not sure if he still does) with me some apprehensions about the publishing model, in general, and how it relates to the library science world, in particular.
I entered library school wanting to be an academic librarian — an engineering academic librarian to be exact. But over time, as I've taken classes and had outside experiences, my desires have changed. I still want to work in an academic library setting (because I love the idea of working with such a diverse group of people), but not in the traditional academic librarian role (see my post on data curation; that's what I want to do now). Regardless of my title, if I work in an academic library, one of things I'll likely have to do is publish. I've been pondering over the last year about researching and publishing requirements of being an academic librarian. I want to build on Micah's post by saying that I am not comfortable with academic librarians being considered faculty and having to publish as a requirement of tenure (another thing I'm not comfortable with for librarians).
Let me start by saying that I do enjoy informal research and finding new ways of doing something better or more efficiently. When I used to be an engineer, I devised novel ways to fix immediate problems almost daily. I knew the theory because I learned it in college, but I didn't care so much about that, as long as it solved the problem. As a librarian, I want to meet the needs of my institution with novel ideas. In other words, I want to see where the needs are, then devise a solution that works in my library. If it works in yours, too, then great, but that should not be my focus. I'd be fine with simply publishing my thoughts on a blog, but I don't want the pressure to publish peer reviewed articles in order to keep my job.
I know research and publishing are requirements of tenure track faculty positions at most institutions. It's one of the three legs of the stool consisting of research, teaching, and service. But as practitioners, librarians shouldn't be classified as academics simply because they work at an academic institution. Research and publishing requirements can be a distraction to simply being an excellent librarian. We can do great things without that pressure, so why not let us? Why not leave the publishing requirements to the regular faculty? Please don't misunderstand me, I am certainly not implying that we don't have what it takes to publish at the same level as a teaching faculty member — quite the contrary. Nor am I suggesting that we wouldn't have much to add to the discussion. But what I am clearly stating is that conferring university faculty status and tenure requirements on librarians is superfluous.
I really want to hear from our readers on this issue. So my questions for you today are these: do academic librarians really need to be called faculty? I know it has a long history behind it, but that doesn't make it the best way to do things. Do you think the publishing requirements of academic librarians are important or distracting? If you think it's important, then why do we not require the same of other professions' practitioners and even other areas within LIS, such as public and school librarians ? If you think it is a distraction, then what can we do to change the culture?
§ 16 Responses to Is it Time to Reassess this Paradigm?
A couple of my thoughts…
1) I am actually at an institution where I am known as a "Clinical Faculty" member. This means that I am faculty, an assistant professor, in basically every regard EXCEPT tenure. Here, clinical faculty are not tenure-track and are therefore evaluated on the merit of their ability to do their job and not on the other tenure criteria of service and publication. This has many pro's and con's but I just wanted to point out that some institutions are experimenting with this notion and so now "faculty" does not always mean "tenure track."
Part of this shift is due to the fact that libraries are changing and if a library hires someone to a do a specific job, they achieve tenure, and then the library realizes they no longer need that specific service – it's harder for the library to be agile and adapt with someone now stuck in that position until they retire.
2) Going off my point in number one, whether or not librarians NEED tenure and NEED to publish in order to be a good librarian is beside the point. Tenure is JOB SECURITY. I think that now more than ever librarians are looking for that reassurance and stability of achieving tenure. Even in my position now where I don't have to publish or serve on any committees, I still do because I know that long-term my goal is a tenure-track position.
I know this is an old conversation but I'm also interested to hear others comments.
I'm beginning library school this fall, with a first master's degree in an academic field already, and I plan to become an academic librarian. As "clinical faculty" brought up above, job security is number one on my list of things I want, and the easiest way to achieve this in a university setting is through tenure.
For me, coming from doing heavy research to get through the master's degree already, I'm looking forward to, and totally willing to, publish or perish for that tenure if I can. I don't think every academic librarian should be expected to, but in exchange for that job security (even though the university could fail, removing that job security) publishing is totally worth it to me.
From a different angle, I think librarians should be considered academics, and faculty. From my own experience, librarians are every bit as important as my teachers were to finishing my degree. I learned a great deal from the librarians in undergrad and in my graduate program, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to provide that to another generation of learners.
Also, i want the perceived prestige of being "faculty." :-)
Going beyond the tenure and "publish or perish" mindset, I'll ask this question: If librarians do not publish — particularly publish practical information like case studies — how will the profession develop? Perhaps the question should expand in the way it has in other academic fields (particularly the humanities and social sciences): What constitutes "publication?"
I'm not too worried about developing the profession. The fact that so many librarians publish and comment on blogs when it is not required for professional advancement is a sign, I think, that we will continue to push the profession without being required to publish. It appears that librarians are drawn to talking about what they do and how they want to improve their profession like moths to an animated JPEG of a light on Tumbler. And the formal, peer-reviewed publications will still have their important place, and those librarians who feel they can do best by publishing in them will continue to do so. But I just can't imagine how forcing all academic librarians to publish to advance in their jobs does anything but force librarians who would rather be advancing the profession in other ways to do something they'd prefer not to do.
In the UK we don't have this system – we aren't faculty in the same way, the concept of tenure doesn't apply to us, and most of us don't publish.
I'm very happy with this arrangement because I dislike academic publishing quite a lot. I've published a book – but that's written entirely on my terms, without jumping through any hoops, and in an informal style. I've been asked about writing for peer-review journals but have said no – I prefer to write either online or for professional publications about useful, practical things. Sometimes research gets bogged down in the research… Plus the whole method of writing academic papers is so much about form, it gets in the way of content.
The trouble with a requirement to publish (and this applied across academia, not just to librarians) is that it's the tail wagging the dog – you are told to output and THEN you look for something to research, as opposed to finding something of value and then looking to share it. Hence why so much academic writing is of no value to ANYONE ever, at all, except as an end in itself – and hence why we, as libraries, get duped into buying journals as part of packages, that no one ever reads, because the content is solely an excercise in ticking 'publication' boxes.
How are faculty/librarian relations in the UK with the librarians as non-faculty? I feel like I am constantly reading about librarians in the US wanting to be treated by other faculty as equals since that's technically what they are and that faculty often don't. So I'm interested in how that relationship works in a context where librarians and faculty are decidedly not the same thing.
I think this is a pretty dour view of academic publishing and forgets the merits of doing research. While I agree that the academic tenure structure may focus overmuch on publications, professors go into academia exactly because they want to do research and share their results and not the other way around. Additionally, as a scientist I can say that the process of peer review and publication is critical to moving a discipline ahead and solving important problems (like ending disease, improving energy efficiency, etc).
When it comes to research and tenure in librarianship, I'm of mixed opinion. This is likely due to the fact that, being a scientist new to LIS, I don't yet understand the types of research done in libraries. My thoughts are that if our research and publications are of the same quality of our professorial peers, then we should have tenure. Otherwise, we should have a different system that still encourages the sharing of information through publication.

Drip line irrigation is a great idea for gardeners who want to save water and grow plants successfully.
By soaking the ground with water, the drip line approach mimics the effect of a gentle soaking rain, instead of battering leaves with a harsh jet of water like so many sprinkler systems do. More importantly, by slowly delivering the water to the soil and plants and not spraying it overhead the air, a drip line system can better target, and thereby reduce, the water needed for landscape or edible plants.

I try to pretend I'm a tea snob, but really I'm not. I just like tea – as a child, my grandmother used to call me a "tea face". That was back when I was drinking Red Rose with probably more milk and sugar than tea.
Now that I'm a big girl and drink loose leaf, I'll admit that I still sweeten my teas – I used to try not to so I could feel more like a tea snob (haha), but then I realized I was being stupid and I should just make my tea the way I enjoy it!

If your small business is inundated with debt, you can file for Chapter 7, Chapter 13, or Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Before you decide on what type of bankruptcy to file, you need to determine if you should file a personal bankruptcy or a business bankruptcy.
If you are personally liable for your business's debts, you should probably file a personal bankruptcy. You are personally liable for business debt if your business is structured as a sole proprietorship or general partnership. Personal liability means that creditors can go after your personal assets (your income from another job, your home, or other property) if your business does not pay its bills. Most small business owners that file for personal bankruptcy choose Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Rarely is Chapter 11 a good choice for small businesses.
If your business is structured as a corporation or LLC, the business is responsible for paying business debts, not you (although there are some exceptions which are covered in the articles below). If you want to file for bankruptcy, you'll have to do so on behalf of the business (this is often called a business bankruptcy). You can do so under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 -- Chapter 13 is not available to business entities.
Read the below articles to determine if you are personally liable for your business's debts, decide if Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 is the better option, and learn about other issues related to filing bankruptcy for your business.

We have daily "dining" specials.
Bland and Unexceptional – This is Italian food for timid middle class people - bland, clean, and uninteresting. Our Caesar salad had an overly sweet dressing and too much cheese, and the pizza we ordered was undercooked and lacking in flavor. There are many better options nearby...we won't be coming back.
Best Food Ever – I really miss the Earth, Wind & Flour in Westwood. But, the Santa Monica location is great, too.
Great pizza, pasta ...pretty much everything on the menu is great. Always come away with a very full belly.
My family and I will always go back!
It always comes through – Look, it may not be the most exciting or innovative place around. But the food is consistent. And always tasty. That is enough for me to come back again and again.
Amazing Foood – I am a pizza fanatic and the pizza here is so delicious!!!! the crust is my favorite! everyone needs to experiance this mouth watering pizza!
my favorite pizza in all of LA! – the crust is amazing
the people are nice who work there and wow they have cheap drinks!!!
i would definitely recommend this pizza spot for anyone who hasnt tried before.....
Great place! – I don't know why I haven't written a review on this place yet! But OMG!
I've driven past this place for years, and for some reason never had the chance to go in!
This place is very homey! Even with the interesting sawdust floors! Everyone who works here is extremely friendly and patient!
I also have to note that EW&F has one of the best happy hours in West LA! They have $3 well drinks and beers for $2.50 or something like that! They also have cheap wine specials and good martinis for only about $5!
I probably shouldn't say more otherwise all the college students will flock here with their $50 left in their checking accounts and need to get f*cked up like, yesterday!
They have great mild sourdough rolls which could be more sourdough-y but they are good enough!
Whenever I come here I order the Angel Hair and marinera sauce with meatballs! The sauces they use are fresh and not canned and the meatballs are never frozen, and taste good even after you put your leftovers in your fridge! The Parmasan cheese is really good and not to mild and not to bitter!
I love this place! xo
Great Place for Good Pizza!!! – I love Earth Wind & Flour. I've been going there for years for the awesome lunch specials & happy hour. I love their pizza & pasta dishes. I also order
It's a great place to catch a game too...they have tons of flat screens set up.
Good Food & Good Prices – Earth Wind & Flour in Santa Monica always serves up good pizza and I love their salads - they are huge and filling. I've also tried some of their pasta dishes and enjoyed them as well. This is a great place to catch a football game...they have tvs in the bar area or to grab a bite to go. If you are looking for a casual dining spot with solid food & friendly staff - Earth Wind & Flour is the place. The portions are large and decently priced.
Decent food served hot at a good price – I have gone to this place several times. The staff is usually friendly , the service is good and the food is good for the price. Come on, we are talking about pasta and pizza. I have tried many of their chicken dishes and have never had a bad meal there. I like the food there. I know its not top notch real Italian cooking but it is good. I know there are plenty of Italian places charging twice the amount for pretty much the same thing. If you are looking for an easy going, not expensive place with decent food, then this is the place. I usually sit in the bar area. They recently put in new booths and have big screen tvs on all the walls. I do miss the pool table.
Editorial Review – Casual dining restaurant combines American grill classics, Italian specialties and Boston-style pizza. Catering also available. Sister location in Westwood.
