Drawing Series: Drawing Dreams
Posted by admin | 14th August 2012Part three of the Drawing Series sees participants exploring themes and symbols within dreams and taking the fear out of each other's nightmares..
It was a different set-up from previous sessions in the Drawing Series as there was no life-model and participants were encouraged to draw from either memory or selected source material. There were no boards or moving around the room to gain the 'best view', the artists were all seated comfortably around a table. This made for a friendly, intimate atmosphere.
Our 'Art for Well-Being and Learning Project Developer', Andrea Grottick, guided the artists through three drawing activities aimed at promoting self-discovery and inspiring new art works. The first showed how everyone's interpretation of images and symbols is different and that what we are drawing is not always viewed as intended. The second gave the artists a chance to interpret each other's nightmares and give them a comedic spin! Drawings included a family of primates, parachuted little men, and naked monsters!
The third and final activity gave everyone an opportunity to relax, use their imagination, and – hopefully – encourage good dreams for that night.
It was a sociable evening which prompted many discussions amongst the artists and raised interesting questions on Dodo's work, psychoanalysis and popular dream themes.
Everyone was a great sport and created many wonderful, colourful, and surreal drawings. A BIG thank you to everyone who attended for their willingness to be 'analysed' and displaying so much honesty in their work…you can see their work in the Facebook album for your own analysis!

la casita
latest vintage findings
1960's leather baby shoes (made in England!)
a beautifully hand sewn-embroidered silk baby camisole
few cones of natural linen
(perhaps not so vintage)
we went and now we are back!
Hello and sorry for the long absence...
Sooo, we went camping and we had a fair share of adventure!
Make yourself comfortable as this post is a bit long...
{the Ttowel is a gift from Nathalie}
We went
, which is a wonderful place to experience a bit of wilderness, without having to go too far. This is the forest of wild horses, ponies and reindeer and many other amazing creatures that we never see in our ordinary life.
{the marks on the tree were made by a reindeer to mark his territory}
All was going well until a big and noisy family pitched their several tents and a large gazebo
very closed to us, after a hell of a day and night, I had a nervous breakdown and moved to a more solitary place....
It started to rain and rain and rain until our tent was flooded!
It was several years since this county hasn't seen so much rain and a flood!!! (by the way the noisy family was flooded too...he he he, with an evil grin in my face!).
So we moved near the burrow of this poor blind rabbit, which we fed with veggies.
Anita made some (humans) friends and we managed to relax a bit.
The stuff I was drinking is a dandelion coffee with rice milk, which I pretend is a nice thing to drink but truly is not! You see, I am on a kind of healthy diet, but after few days of hard camping I gave up, I will eventually start again as long as I get over this dandelion coffee!
The salad was for myself and not for the rabbit! ^.^
We also went to the seaside and to the Isle of Wight and after several years of digital I took with me my dear old analogical manual camera and took some pictures, which I can't wait to see and eventually show to you too.
And finally on the last day, my dear friend came to say goodbye to me (actually I was sneakily scoffing a packet of "healthy" crisps when suddenly I sensed a presence! I cried and then realised that few people gathered around to take pictures.... how embarrassing... but I managed to stay calm and even took her a picture.
Aaanyway, now I'll go to make myself a well deserved cup of strong coffee and I will start to catch up with you, lovely folks.
Have a nice Monday...so long, goodbye.
*UPDATE: if you were reading this post before, you might notice that it is slightly changed, that's because my original post disappeared nowhere amidst lost bytes and mega bytes in the obscurity of the world wide web, hence I had to re-write the all thing, but my memory is not a computer so...
we are still here
...Only a bit lazy.
She's wearing the dress I made for her
last Summer
Have a nice weekend : )

It doesn't get any crazier than this. Deciding it cannot possibly compete with the iPad juggernaut in the 9.7-inch space, Lenovo has gone all out to impress watchers with a 23-inch thing they're calling a "tablet". It should be out this year and will be based on Lenovo's all-in-one computers. It's a "home" tablet, Lenovo's senior marketing specialist William Cai tells TechRadar.
He then launched into the sales pitch:
We think that there is potential for a 23-inch tablet. We'd have to take care of battery life and we are working to get the weight down. It's obviously not for full mobility use, but it could be moved from room to room in the house and used with a full keyboard, or as a television.Or you could lay it on a table top and use it for family games.
Hold it right there, Mr. Cai, I've got a question for you...
How the heck am I supposed to play games on a 23-inch "tablet", huh?
I would need to hang it up on the wall and then what? Stare at it from a few inches away and interact with the game using my fingers?
Please, have someone tell Mr. Cai that bigger isn't always better. It's not a tablet, it's an all-in-one desktop. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, they should have the guts to call it a duck. I guess he didn't get the memo.
Seriously? Lenovo's 23" Tablet is not a tablet at all. This computer category is called "All in One PC".
Thanks for reading BSN*

Statement of Senator Orrin G. Hatch
Ranking Republican Member
Before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Hearing on the Nominations of
Dennis W. Shedd, to be U.S. Circuit Judge, Fourth Circuit
Terrence F. McVerry , to be U.S. District Judge, W. D. of Pennsylvania
Arthur Schwab, to be U.S. District Judge, W. D. of Pennsylvania
I want to welcome all the nominees today and ask that I be able to put statements for Mr. Schwab and Judge McVerry into the record. I look forward to voting for all the nominees in Committee and on the Senate floor.
You will forgive me, however, for spending some time welcoming Judge Dennis Shedd, for whom this moment must surely be both a life's milestone and a sentimental homecoming. I know this is a proud moment also for Senator Thurmond whom Judge Shedd served in various positions and including as Chief Counsel to this Committee.
Senators feel very strongly about their staffs. Our legal counsels make uncounted sacrifices to work for us and for the American people. We are surrounded by very talented lawyers who forego larger salaries for the sake of public service. Sometimes they put their personal opinions aside to advocate ours. We Senators take very personally when they are nominated and given the opportunity for yet higher public service. It has been the tradition of this Committee to give great courtesy to our former staffers. I certainly take it very personally, and I know that Senator Thurmond does too.
But we two former Chairmen are not alone in our good impressions of Dennis Shedd. When Judge Shedd was nominated to the federal trial bench, Chairman Biden had this to say to him: "I have worked with you for so long that I believe I am fully qualified to make an independent judgment about your working habits, your integrity, your honesty, and your temperament. On all these scores, I have found you to be beyond reproach."
This is high praise, indeed, and from a colleague from the other side of the aisle for whom we all have the greatest respect.
Judge Shedd has strong bi-partisan support in his home state as well, and not only from Senators Thurmond and Hollings. He is also strongly supported by Dick Harpootlian, South Carolina State Chairman of the Democratic Party, and himself a trial lawyer.
Dennis Shedd has served as a federal jurist for more than a decade following nearly twenty years of public service and legal practice. While serving this Committee, Judge Shedd worked, among many other matters, on the extension of the Voting Rights Act, RICO reform, the Ethics in Post-Employment Act, and the 1984 and 1986 crime bills. As Senator Biden put it: "His hard work and intelligence helped the Congress find areas of agreement and reach compromises."
It is no wonder to me that during his service on the District Court, he has sat by designation on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on several occasions.
That leads me address a few issues that have been raised in the press and on the websites of the usual suspects in the last few days.
First, let me address the more ludicrous attempt to discredit Judge Shedd that was brought to my attention: that when he was confirmed to the District Court bench he had little experience in the practice of law. To ignore the remarkable experience Dennis Shedd had in legislative practice crafting historic laws while serving this Committee is some chutzpah. To raise an objection like that twelve years after the fact is just silly.
But let's be clear. When Judge Shedd joins the other members of the 4th Circuit, he will not only have unmatched legislative experience, he will also have the longest trial bench experience on the 4th Circuit. He will also add some diversity to that Court. The last five 4th Circuit confirmations have all been Democrats.
Interestingly, the last Democrat confirmed, Judge Gregory, has affirmed Judge Shedd's rulings in 11 appeals. Notably, Judge Gregory also agreed with Judge Shedd's ruling in the Crosby case, which found that the Family and Medical Leave Act was improperly adopted by Congress, a case which the liberal groups seem worked up about. I find it curious that no one asked Judge Gregory about his ruling in Crosby when he was before this Committee.
Judge Shedd has heard more than 5,087 civil cases, reviewed more than 1406 Reports and Recommendations of Magistrates, and has had before him more than 929 criminal defendants.
Judge Shedd's record demonstrates that he is a mainstream judge with a low reversal rate. In the more than 5,000 cases Judge Shedd has handled during his twelve years on the bench, he has been reversed fewer than 40 times, less than one percent. Detractors have made much of the fact that he has a relative few decisions that he has chosen to publish. But in fact, he falls in the middle of the average for published opinions in the 4th Circuit. One Carter appointee has published all of 7 cases, one Clinton appointee has published only 3, and another Carter appointee has published 51, only one more than Judge Shedd, despite being on the court for 10 years longer.
Mr. Chairman, Judge Shedd is known for his fairness, total preparation, and for showing no personal bias in his courtroom. This is not just my opinion; this reflects the opinions of lawyers who practice before him. Judge Shedd is well-respected by members of the bench and bar in South Carolina.
According to the Almanac of the Federal Judiciary, attorneys said that Judge Shedd has outstanding legal skills and an excellent judicial temperament.
Here are a few comments from South Carolina lawyers: "You are not going to find a better judge on the bench or one that works harder." "He's the best federal judge we've got." "He gets an A all around." "It's a great experience trying cases before him." "He's polite and businesslike."
Washington's professional nominee detractors have been particularly misleading on Judge Shedd's record on employment cases. They have misleadingly pointed out that the Judge seldom grants summary judgment in employment cases in favor of the employee. Of course, few judges do. Such cases are inherently fact-laden and go to trial or settle, or the plaintiff too often fails to state a claim. They could have noticed that he has only twice been reversed in employment cases. But they didn't. They might have pointed out that in one of the appeals that he was invited to hear for the 4th Circuit, he reversed a summary judgment and remanded for trial a political discrimination case against a worker who was a Democrat. But they didn't.
Detractors have also tried to make irresponsible claims as to the Judge's criminal case record. In criminal cases, Judge Shedd has strongly defended citizens' Due Process rights from violation by the state. He has frequently chastised law enforcement for errors in search warrants and the questionable use of seized property. In fact, he has sanctioned the State for discovery problems. He is known for aggressively informing defendants and witnesses of their 5th Amendment rights.
Remarkably, Judge Shedd has never been reversed on any ruling considered before or during trial, or on the taking of guilty pleas.
The cases that come before a judge are often difficult. He has not been exempted. In one case, Judge Shedd allowed a detainee to engage in a hunger strike as a protest against government's attempt to force feed him.
Though some would seek to question Judge Shedd's respect for privacy, in two cases he protected HIV blood donor's confidentiality. In another case he ordered special accommodations to an HIV positive defendant to ensure his continued clinical treatment.
Of course, a smear campaign against a nominee is not complete without the suggestion that they are a foe of environmental rights. Judge Shedd's detractors have ignored the wetlands protection case where he handed down tough sanctions against a violator and ordered wetlands restoration. They also skipped over his decision in favor of National Campaign to Save the Environment. They missed his ruling to grant standing to a plaintiff challenging a road construction project on its environmental impact. They missed his ruling in favor of a woman protesting possible waste dumping in her community.
But the most breathtaking charge against Judge Shedd was the NAACP's, earlier this week, that he has "a deep and abiding hostility to civil rights."
I have to tell you I was outraged by this. It is a distortion far beyond the pale of decency, and I hope my colleagues will be quick to repudiate such rabid practices. In part, I am outraged because there are some who would profile Judge Shedd as merely a white male from the South and start from there to give him a certain treatment.
I should note that no less a figure than Ralph Neas noted in the National Journal in 1987 that the Judiciary Committee during Dennis Shedd's tenure had a "good" civil rights record.
If his record working for civil rights legislation on the Judiciary Committee were not enough an accomplishment for one lifetime for any man or woman, the truth is that each of the cases that have come before Judge Shedd involving the Voting Rights Act of 1965, plaintiffs have won their claims. In the Dooley case, a one person/one vote case, Judge Shedd gave the plaintiff a clear and strong decision. In another political rights case, he ruled to protect Plaintiff's right to make door-to-door political solicitations.
You know a lot about a judge by how they conduct their court room. As you know, Mr. Chairman, I have been a strong advocate for the protection of religious practices in the public square. It says a lot about Judge Shedd, especially in these times, that he allowed religious headdress in his courtroom.
Judge Shedd also led efforts to appoint the first African American woman ever to serve as a Magistrate Judge in South Carolina and has sought the Selection Committee to conduct outreach to women and people of color in filling such positions. He pushed for an African American woman to be Chief of Pretrial Services. He has actively recruited people of color to be his law clerks.
And because of Judge Shedd's work in an Award-winning drug program that aims to reverse stereotypes among 4,000-5,000 school children, he was chosen as United Way School Volunteer of Year.
Mr. Chairman, I would like to place in the record a very touching letter from one of Judge Shedd's former clerks, Thomas Jones, who happens to be a person of color -- an African American -- written in favor of Judge Shedd and sent just yesterday to Senator Leahy. He says: "It is apparent to me that the allegations regarding Judge Shedd's alleged biases have been propagated by individuals without the benefit of any real, meaningful interaction with Judge Shedd...I trust the allegations are given the short shrift they are due."
Lastly, I would like to address the most repugnant attempt to smear Judge Shedd by taking his words entirely out of their context with regard to the neuralgic issue of the Confederate flag. According to one group's website and an NAACP release, Judge Shedd is accused of having made "insensitive comments as he dismissed a lawsuit aimed at removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina statehouse."
Nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, in the Alley case, a complaint brought by white plaintiffs -- not African Americans -- Judge Shedd never addressed the merits of the Confederate flag issue. Instead he stayed the federal case to permit a parallel state action to go forward. The statements attributed to him were in fact questions to the counsel.
Judge Shedd explained that he was merely asking questions to explore the lawyer's legal theory. He stated: "Let me make it very clear to everybody. I'm not determining now whether or not the flag should be there at all."
Mr. Chairman, I would like to place into the record a portion of the transcript from the Alley case which places in context what Judge Shedd thinks about the issue of the Confederate flag in relation to other issues facing the African American community. His is a view shared by many African American leaders concerned with the issues facing their community.
Remarkably, although taking Judge Shedd to task for a Confederate flag case in which he never reached the merits of the issue, the liberal groups starkly ignore Judge Shedd's ruling in the Vanderhoff case, in which he did reach the merits of the issue concerning the Confederate flag. In Vanderhoff, Judge Shedd dismissed the claim of a fired employee who repeatedly displayed the Confederate flag on his toolbox in violation of company policy. Judge Shedd rejected the plaintiff's contention that he was dismissed because of his national origin as a "Confederate Southern American."
In sum, Judge Shedd's detractors have a habit of ignoring the positive and accentuating the negative. For these irresponsible liberal groups, fair is foul, and foul is fair, and the truth is what works for them.
Now, Mr. Chairman, let me welcome the two nominees to the District bench of Western Pennsylvania.
Terrence McVerry has a distinguished record of service in both the private and public sectors. After graduating from law school, Judge McVerry served in the United States Army Reserves and the Pennsylvania Air National Guard. Then he went to work as an Assistant District Attorney for Allegheny County, prosecuting hundreds of trials with an emphasis in major felonies and homicides. In 1972, Judge McVerry formed a private practice law firm where, for the next 17 years, he engaged in civil litigation representing individuals in a variety of matters including personal injury, real estate, contracts, family matters, estate planning, and small businesses and corporations. Judge McVerry was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1979 and served there for 21 years.
In 1998, Governor Tom Ridge appointed him to fill a judicial vacancy on the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County assigned to the Family Division. Currently, Judge McVerry is the Solicitor of Allegheny County where he is the chief legal officer and director of a governmental law department comprised of 36 attorneys.
Arthur James Schwab is a distinguished lawyer who has litigated and published extensively in the areas of protecting trade secrets, copyright infringement and employment agreements, including covenants not to compete. He graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law and served as a law clerk for then-Chief Justice Collins J. Seitz for the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. He then went to work at Reed Smith Shaw & McClay in Pennsylvania from 1973 to 1990, where he focused on both labor law and litigation involving complex corporate litigation, personal injury and civil rights matters. He litigated cases in approximately 24 different federal court jurisdictions and before 8 different federal circuit courts. From 1990 to the present, Mr. Schwab has worked for Buchanan Ingersoll P.C., a Pennsylvania law firm, as chair of litigation, chief council for complex corporate litigation, and partner.

LibraryThing Review
User Review - LibraryThingI enjoyed the digressions more than the story. In fact, I enjoyed them a lot. The history of the rise of electricity in the first part of the book was a merciless synopsis of the westward ho! of frontier history. Things fall apart near the end. Or maybe the piss was knocked out of me by the shift from 10% action, 90% digression to 90% action, 10% digression. Vollmann is a wonderful digresser. So unlike 'War and Peace', I tended to skim the battle scenes in this book. I will now NOT get raptured for reading this book.

Tinnitus Overview
Patient Comment
Read 1 Comment
Tinnitus, (pronounced tih-NIGHT-us or TIN-ih-tus) is a ringing, swishing, or other type of noise that seems to originate in the ear or head. Most of us will experience tinnitus or sounds in the ears at some time or another. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), almost 12 percent of men who are 65 to 74 years of age are affected by tinnitus. Tinnitus is identified more frequently in white individuals, and the prevalence of tinnitus in the U.S. is almost twice as frequent in the South as in the Northeast. Tinnitus can be extremely disturbing to people who have it. In many cases it is not a serious problem, but rather a nuisance that may go away. However, some people with tinnitus may require medical or surgical treatment. Twelve million Americans have tinnitus, and one million experience it so severely it interferes with their daily activities. Tinnitus can arise in any of the four sections of the hearing system: the outer ear, the middle ear, the inner ear, and the brain. Some tinnitus or "head noise" is normal. A number of techniques and treatments may be of help, depending on the cause.

Actor, writer, producer. Born Vincent Anthony Vaughn on March 28, 1970 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The son of a salesman father and real-estate agent mother, Vaughn was raised in the wealthy Chicago suburb of Lake Forest. As soon as the lackluster student graduated from Lake Forest High School, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
Vaughn spent seven years in Hollywood before he landed the role of smooth-operating Trent in 1996's surprise hit Swingers. The irreverent comedy written by co-star and real-life pal Jon Favreau led to a role in Steven Spielberg's The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Vaughn's other notable films include Return to Paradise, Clay Pigeons and Psycho, in which he played the legendary Norman Bates in director Gus Van Sant's controversial remake. Unfortunately, the much-hyped film turned out to be a disappointment both at the box office and among critics.
In 2000, Vaughn appeared in the thriller The Cell with Jennifer Lopez, Prime Gig and South of Heaven, West of Hell, which marked the directorial debut of country singer Dwight Yoakam. Vaughn also re-teamed with Favreau for Made and appeared as a deceptive stepfather in the thriller Domestic Disturbance. In 2003, the actor joined Saturday Night Live alum Will Ferrell for the hit sophomoric comedy Old School. Other popular film credits include Wedding Crashers (2005), The Break-Up (2006) in which he starred with then girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, Four Christmases (2008) and Couple's Retreat (2009).

The Future of the NFPA 13 Family
NFPA Journal®, January/February 2009
Over the past six months, as part of the Fire Protection Research Foundation's 25th birthday celebration, we have met with many of the important constituents in the NFPA codes and standards process. The goal of these meetings is to help the Foundation plan its research programs for the future – to be sure that we are doing our part to help NFPA's technical committees prepare for upcoming changes to codes and standards with supporting research and information.
Recently, we met with the leaders of the automatic sprinkler project to learn about the challenges facing automatic sprinkler fire protection in the upcoming years. NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, is constantly evolving to address changes in the hazards of the commodities that automatic sprinkler systems are designed to protect, as well as advances in the technology of protection.
The Foundation invited 30 leaders from the various technical committees involved in the automatic sprinkler project to consider the emerging issues facing these systems, and to submit research topics for consideration. In September, at a meeting in Georgia, 20 members met to discuss, review and prioritize the issues. There are many key concerns, ranging from the immediate need to determine spacing requirements for hanging and bracing of sprinkler systems for earthquake protection, to over-arching issues associated with determining a technically based means to classify the hazard associated with a particular commodity. In all, more than 30 items were considered.
One of the key issues the group asked the Foundation to address is the matter of performance criteria for residential sprinkler systems. NPFA 13D has been in existence since 1975, but the recent growing interest in residential sprinklers has brought increased focus to improving the standard's requirements. Today's homes have rooms in many shapes and sizes that affect the performance of home fire sprinklers. Along with changes in our homes are changes in our abilities to quantify and predict the hazards that home fire sprinklers must address. It's the right time to take another look at required performance.
The group identified another aspect of residential sprinkler performance that is worthy of a second look—water requirements. As sprinklers become more widespread, there is a need to refine our engineering approaches to this issue, and to understand the true impact of home fire sprinklers on municipal water demand, particularly in the context of other forms of fire suppression in times of competing demands on water resources.
In addition to residential issues, the group also identified a key commercial consideration: how tomorrow's sprinkler technology can protect stored commodities. A stroll through your nearest hardware megastore will remind you that rapid changes are taking place in how we store and sell chemicals and other commodities. Plastics, for example, are used to store an ever larger share of the products we use every day. Retailers and warehouse owners are becoming more innovative in the means they use to store and retrieve stock, with new and ever-higher shelving types and more interfaces with consumers. Sprinkler technology is keeping pace with these developments, as are innovative sensor technologies and fire fighting techniques. We are also seeing a growth in novel forms of indoor storage, from "boatels"—vertical storage for boats – to portable "POD" storage units. Sprinkler protection in unique applications such as these requires a careful assessment of the hazard and the geometric and other constraints on performance. NFPA 13 provides the framework to match all these hazards with the appropriate fire protection strategy, and there is a continuing need to provide data to inform its requirements.
While we have traditionally relied on full-scale testing to help us understand the complex interaction of water spray, fire and stored commodities, we are increasingly moving toward models that predict the interaction of a fire plume or a smoke interface with a sprinkler spray. But we need validation for these models so that we can apply them to understanding the ongoing challenges facing automatic sprinkler systems.
The Foundation is rolling up its sleeves to develop projects in these areas. To that end, we have formed the Automatic Sprinkler Fire Protection Research Council to help us to continue to focus on the priority challenges for this important aspect of fire protection and the development of NFPA standards. To participate, contact email@example.com.
Kathleen H. Almand, P.E., FSFPE, is the executive director of the Fire Protection Research Foundation.

One of the Strangest photos that have Ever Been taken of space is that of the Eagle Nebula. The photo itself is supposed to show the birth of a star from the gaseous clouds.
When the photo was shown on CNN, [See Image1] hundreds of calls came in from people reporting — they could see a face in the cloud. When the color of the photo was adjusted, a large human form seemed to appear within the cloud. [See Image2]

It is hard to believe that Google just willingly ran ads they knew to be illegal.
I corporate terms I agree, however companies are made up of many people and not everybody is cut from the same ethics cloth.
The simple of the issue is that the employee(s) involved may have acted outside of corporate policy in pursuit of commissions or other. Regardless, Google as a corporation is responsible for their actions.

Shoes for the Homeless Sorted and Ready for Giveaway
Posted: 9:52 PM Feb 8, 2013
Reporter: Ruth Morton
Shoes for the Homeless Sorted and Ready to Give Away
February 8, 2013
On Saturday, if the shoe fits, people can wear it for free.
After a month of collecting used but useable shoes, Shoes for the Homeless volunteers sorted through the donations for the needy on Friday afternoon.
About thirty volunteers took about three hours to sort around 3,500 pairs of shoes.
Shoes for the Homeless is an annual campaign, now in its third decade. It is a joint effort between the Salvation Army and the local Podiatry Association.
"It's important because some people can't afford shoes," said Lena Haskins, a shoe sorting volunteer. "So, they can come here and get them for free."
If you or anyone you know needs shoes, the giveaway is Saturday at the Salvation Army on Ridge Street from ten o'clock until noon.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 12:00 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013
By Vick Mickunas
I remember the first time I heard the band Joy Division. I was clerking in a record store. We stocked imports, records shipped over from England. We received an album called "Unknown Pleasures" by this group called Joy Division.
We popped the record onto the turntable (remember those?). We had never heard anything like it. This music was atmospheric and dirge-like. It was hard to make out the lyrics. The band's singer was Ian Curtis. He had a haunting, hypnotizing voice. The instrumentation was dark and churning and brooding.
In 1980, with just that one album released, Joy Division was about to come to the United States on concert tour. Then we heard shocking news; their singer had taken his own life. Just like that, Joy Division was no more. (The band's second proper album, "Closer," was released later that year.) Over the past 30-plus years their brief tragic history has rendered them almost iconic cult status.
We wondered what really happened? Why did Ian Curtis do it? The band's bassist Peter Hook has published a memoir; "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division." Hook, or "Hooky," as he was known to his bandmates looks back and illuminates the figurative darkness that foreshadows this band from Manchester, England.
Hook will be in Ohio to sign books Monday in Cincinnati. (See the "how to go" box for details.)
Joy Division fans will anticipate that tragedy that haunts this influential band's brief existence, knowing how this story will end. It is still an enthralling read. The author's own personal memoir serves as a prelude to the timeline that delineates the band's formation, performances and recording sessions.
Hook met Bernard Sumner, their future guitarist, in grammar school. After Joy Division ended they formed another influential band, called New Order. Hook describes how they returned to their old school for a photo session for a music magazine. Their musical fame didn't impress the headmaster, their former geography teacher. He ran them off campus.
This book is a smorgasbord of anecdotes and revelations. The band recorded in sessions supervised by a music promoter named Martin Hannett. He had his own singular vision of the sound he wanted to capture for posterity. Hannett usually excluded the band from the mixing and editing process.
Sumner and Hook were used to being shunted aside. They were also deterred from doing many interviews. This actually enhanced the mystique of the band. At the time they were not pleased with Hannett's production of their songs. They wanted a heavier, punkier sound. Now Hook admits that the late Hannett was a visionary and his musical intuitions were inspired.
Joy Division was constantly touring. Hook usually drove the band to gigs in his van. He got stuck loading the equipment. His resentments over this still feel raw. He was also a relentless prankster. Some of the practical jokes that they pulled on other bands were utterly juvenile but hilarious nevertheless.
A tour of Europe exacerbated the problems that their singer was experiencing. Curtis was suffering from epilepsy. During some performances he had epileptic fits on stage. Strobe lights were a particular hazard. But the band soldiered on. In retrospect Hook realizes that the constant grind ultimately drove Ian Curtis to end it all.
"Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division" by Peter Hook (It Books, 386 pages, $27.99)
What: A book-signing with Peter Hook for "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division"
Where: Joseph Beth Booksellers, Rookwood Pavilion, 2692 Madison Road, Cincinnati
