Insulation air leak troubleshooting: this article describes the types of air leaks that occur in building insulation systems and explains how to track down and fix these energy loss problems. This article series discusses air bypass leaks, thermal convection loops, voids & leaks in building insulation, including fiberglass, chopped fiberglass, icynene foam, and blown-in cellulose. Our page top photo shows a void in wall insulation, viewed from a seldom-visited attic. An insulation void such as this one should show up easily during an infrared building scan using thermal imaging. But unless the homeowner thinks of this step, the uninsulated wall may pump heat out of the building for years. Readers should also see AIR BYPASS LEAKS as well as HEAT LOSS in BUILDINGS.

The claim of fiberglass batt air leakage, supported vigorously by the foam insulation industry, is equally vigorously counter-argued by the fiberglass insulation companies who point out that properly installed the air flow rate through the fiberglass itself in fiberglass insulated cavities is very low. OPINION-DJF: air leaks around insulating batts that are not snugly fit between building framing members or where openings have been cut for ceiling lights, electrical boxes, plumbing chases, and voids left from workers who move or remove insulation appear from visual inspection to be the prime culprit, rather than air movement through the fiberglass insulating batt itself. Our attic photo (left) shows both air bypass leaks (black stains on the fiberglass batt at center-left of the photo) and an insulation void (above the bath vent fan). Where air leaks occur around fiberglass batts, look closely: you will probably see that the leaks are at the perimeter of the insulation and at locations where openings in framing, drywall, or insulation were cut to admit recessed ceiling lights, electrical or plumbing penetrations, or similar openings. If airflow were simply through the fiberglass batt in any uniform way, the dust stains on and inside the insulation would also be expected to be uniform. They are not. See Air Bypass Leaks, Thermal Tracking for details. Leaky Icynene Foam Insulation?We full agree with PEP, however, that predicting air leaks through fiberglass-insulated cavities is very difficult, since leakage depends on the quality of installation workmanship. We have indeed occasionally found workmanship errors that resulted in unanticipated air leaks though foam-sprayed insulation as well, particularly when the insulation (of either type) was installed in a hard-to-access space such as a crawl area.

How to Find Points of Heat Loss & Building Air LeaksThe article HEAT LOSS DETECTION TOOLS explains how to survey a building for air and heat loss or gain points and how to correct them. Just below are links to images of pages from "House Doctors with Better Medicine, Princeton Energy Partners use the latest diagnostic tools to comb a house for the major causes of heat loss. Their findings are often astonishing. Their strong prescriptions bring results", Steven Bliss, rom Solar Age Magazine. In this article the author, Steven Bliss, accompanies a building weatherization and energy-savings company through a detailed building inspection for heat loss points, convective loops, and air leaks. The author accompanies Princeton Energy Partners as they use thermal imaging, smoke guns, and visual inspection to pinpoint building air leaks, heat loss points, air infiltration and air exfiltration on a building. The importance of setting priorities for sealing these points of energy wasted is emphasized and discussed, and sketches as well as photographs of common points of building heat loss, or unwanted heat gain, and air leaks are provided.

Privacy & Free Speech in Online Politics: Cause for Alarm or Applause?
Privacy & Free Speech in Online Politics: Cause for Alarm or Applause?
Washington, D.C., December 5, 2001—The Internet has changed Americans' lives in many ways, but how much will it also affect politics in America? To what extent should online profiling—the information collected about visitors to political websites—be allowed? How far should political websites go in aggressive outreach?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
These are just a few of the questions answered in a new report by the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Project on Technology and Innovation for George Washington University's Democracy Online Project. The report, authored by CEI Senior Policy Analyst Solveig Singleton and CEI Senior Fellow James V. Delong, will also be discussed at a debate on privacy and online politics at the National Press Club Thursday, December 6 from Noon to 4 p.m.
"The techniques being used by political websites have great potential for breaking the hammerlock on the electoral processes that have long been held by incumbents, and any effort to restrict them would be significantly anti-democratic," said Singleton.
The report, "Privacy and Free Speech in the Political Landscape", is now available. Both Singleton and Delong are available for interviews, at the National Press Club event and by calling CEI at 202.331.1010.

Freikorps (English: Free Corps) were German volunteer military or anti-communist paramilitary units. The term was originally applied to voluntary armies formed in German lands from the middle of the 18th century onwards. Between World War I and World War II the term was also used for the paramilitary organizations that arose during the Weimar Republic. An entire series of Freikorps awards also existed, mostly replaced in 1933 by the Honor Cross for World War I veterans.
First Freikorps[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (January 2011) |
The first Freikorps were recruited by Frederick II of Prussia in the 18th century during the Seven Years' War. On 15 July 1759, Frederick II ordered the creation of a squadron of volunteer hussars to be attached to the Hussar Regiment No. 1 von Kleist. He entrusted the creation and command of this new unit to Colonel Friedrich Wilhelm von Kleist. This first squadron (80 men) was raised in Dresden and consisted mainly of Hungarian deserters. This squadron was placed under the command of Lieutenant Johann Michael von Kovacs. At the end of 1759, the first 4 squadrons of dragoons (aka Horse-Grenadiers) of the Freikorps were organised. They initially consisted of Prussian volunteers from Berlin, Magdeburg, Mecklenburg and Leipzig but later recruited deserters. The Freikorps were regarded as unreliable by regular armies, so they were mainly used as sentries and for minor duties.
During the Napoleonic Wars, Freikorps were formed for the purpose of shaking off French rule in Germany. Those led by Ferdinand von Schill were decimated in the Battle of Stralsund (1809); many were killed in battle or executed at Napoleon's command in the aftermath. Later, Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm von Lützow, a survivor of Schill's Freikorps, formed the Lützow Free Corps, which took part in the German War of Liberation. The anti-Napoleonic Freikorps often operated behind French lines as a kind of commando or guerrilla force.
Throughout the 19th century, these anti-Napoleonic Freikorps were greatly praised and glorified by German nationalists, and a heroic myth built up around their exploits. This myth was invoked, in considerably different circumstances, in the aftermath of Germany's defeat in World War I.
Post-World War I[edit]
The meaning of the word Freikorps changed over time. After 1918, the term was used for the paramilitary organizations that sprang up around Germany as soldiers returned in defeat from World War I. They were the key Weimar paramilitary groups active during that time. Many German veterans felt disconnected from civilian life, and joined a Freikorps in search of stability within a military structure. Others, angry at their sudden, apparently inexplicable defeat, joined up in an effort to put down communist uprisings or exact some form of revenge (see Stab-in-the-back myth). They received considerable support from Minister of Defense Gustav Noske, a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, who used them to crush the German Revolution of 1918–1919 and the Marxist Spartacist League and arrest Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, who were killed on 15 January 1919. They were also used to defeat the Bavarian Soviet Republic in May 1919.[1]
On 5 May 1919, 12 workers (most of them members of the Social Democratic Party) were arrested and killed by members of Freikorps Lützow in Perlach near Munich based on a tip from a local cleric saying they were communists. A memorial on Pfanzeltplatz in Munich today commemorates the incident.[2][3][4]
Freikorps also fought in the Baltic, Silesia, Poland and East Prussia after the end of World War I, including aviation combat, often with significant success. Anti-Slavic racism was present, although the ethnic cleansing ideology and anti-Semitism that would be expressed in later years was not developed yet.[5] In Latvia Freikorps murdered 300 civilians in the town of Mitau that were suspected of having "Bolshevik sympathies" and after capture of Riga further 3000 people were killed,[6] including summary executions of 50-60 prisoners daily.[7] Though officially disbanded in 1920, many Freikorps attempted, unsuccessfully, to overthrow the government in the Kapp Putsch in March 1920.[citation needed] Their attack was halted when German citizens who were loyal to the state went on strike, cutting off many services and making daily life so problematic that the coup was called off.
In 1920, Adolf Hitler had just begun his political career as the leader of the tiny and as-yet-unknown Deutsche Arbeiterpartei/DAP German Workers Party, which was soon renamed the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei/NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers Party) or Nazi Party in Munich. Numerous future members and leaders of the Nazi Party had served in the Freikorps, including Ernst Röhm, future head of the Sturmabteilung, or SA, Heinrich Himmler, future head of the Schutzstaffel, or SS, and Rudolf Höß, the future Kommandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Hermann Ehrhardt, founder and leader of Marinebrigade Ehrhardt, and his deputy Commander Eberhard Kautter, leaders of the Viking League, refused to help Hitler and Erich Ludendorff in their Beer Hall Putsch and conspired against them.
Hitler viewed some of them as threats. A huge ceremony was arranged on 9 November 1933 in which the Freikorps leaders symbolically presented their old battle flags to Hitler's SA and SS. It was a sign of allegiance to their new authority, the Nazi state.[8] When Hitler's internal purge of the party, the Night of the Long Knives, came in 1934, a large number of Freikorps leaders were targeted for killing or arrest, including Ehrhardt and Röhm. Historian Robert GL Waite claims that in Hitler's "Röhm Purge" speech to the Reichstag on 13 July 1934, he implied that the Freikorps were one of the groups of "pathological enemies of the state".[9]

Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone is enjoying time at the lake, having backyard barbecues and spending time with family and friends today. We are visiting with several of my cousins and friends in Wister. It should be a great day.
Cash and I have been going fishing this week since I finally got my boat out, and have a little morning time to hit the lake. I was afraid that since it was going to be July before I had any time to fish that it was going to be smokinŌĆÖ hot, but this week has been unusually cool.
We caught several Wednesday morning, and, with some luck, Cash and I will be out here a whole bunch more between now and when school starts.
ŌĆó ŌĆó ŌĆó
If you get a chance, run into Wister Food Market at Wister and check out Tanner McAlesterŌĆÖs full-body mount black bear he shot last year.
Have a great week!

Taylor Precision Products Acquires MetrokaneWednesday November 13th, 2013 - 8:57AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Taylor Precision Products, Inc., a supplier of consumer and professional measurement devices, today announced that the company has acquired Metrokane, a leading North American marketer of wine and kitchen accessories, including the Original Rabbit Corkscrew and the Rabbit Electric Cocktail Mixer. Metrokane sells products under a number of brand names including Rabbit, Houdini and Houdini Deluxe. The move, coupled with a smaller acquisition occurring concurrently, will increase Taylor's revenues by 50%, according to the company. Since its July 2012 acquisition by Centre Partners Management, a New York-based private equity firm, in conjunction with Rob Kay who became Executive Chairman with the acquisition, Taylor has been pursuing a strategy of broadening its product offerings through a combination of new product development and strategic acquisition initiatives. Metrokane represents the company's second acquisition during this period. "We are extremely excited to be adding the world class brands and products from the innovator who created the wine accessory category over the past 15 years," Kay said. "This highly strategic combination will further enhance Taylor's capability to offer the most meaningful brands and products to our retail trade partners and builds a strong cornerstone addition to our growing portfolio." Taylor said it intends to retain the sales, marketing and product design capabilities that have been the hallmark of Metrokane's success. The founders will remain with the company for a transition period of 15 months.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The voice on the message is clear and authoritative. The man identifies himself as a lawyer, and he wants money.
Typically not a good sign.
But Tim Miley, quick to laugh, smiles and holds up his phone as the voicemail continues.
"This is the Senate president of the state of Maryland calling to collect your dues for the Surrattsville Alumni association. At the same time calling to congratulate you."
Maryland Senate President Mike Miller, a lifelong friend of Miley's, goes on: He points out Miley made it from a small Maryland town to become the leader of the West Virginia House of Delegates.
"Who woulda ever thunk?" Miller says, telling his friend the accomplishment is amazing.
Miley's ascension to one of the most powerful positions in the state came about rather quickly. Within a month of former Speaker Rick Thompson announcing his decision to leave to the Legislature, Miley emerged from the ensuing Democratic scramble as the nominee.
The Harrison County attorney is confident he can prove it wasn't a mistake, helping his adopted state and keeping a Democrat majority in the process.
Miley, 47, is the second of four kids born to children of West Virginia. His father hails from Harrison County, his mother from Preston County.
"In the early '60s they went to the D.C. area to find work. And so, they found work and found each other and they've been there ever since," Miley said Friday, sitting in his new office at the state Capitol.
They settled in the town of Clifton, Md., about 12 miles south of the nation's capitol. But Miley remembers fondly coming back to West Virginia on holidays, visiting one week with his mother's family and the next with his father's. It would be years before Miley considered coming to the state for work.
Miley attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas for his undergraduate degree. The NCAA leveled its dreaded "death penalty" on the school's football program while he was there, eliminating the program in the wake of rampant scandals. It's the only time the penalty has ever been used.
"My senior year of college we had soccer as our homecoming game," Miley said.
He wasn't sure what he wanted to do for a living until his junior year. He'd tossed around the idea of being a lawyer for sometime though, based on interactions with his best friend Tommy's dad, Mike Miller.
Miley revered the older Miller, who worked both as a lawyer and state senator.
"Mike was always the person people seemed to turn to if they had a problem or an issue, whether it be a legal issue or a non-legal . . . Mike was always that guy," Miley said.
He moved closer to home for law school, attending Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. During the second year of law school, students traditionally look for a place to clerk and potentially work full time after graduation.
Looking through the list of potential businesses, Miley noticed the Clarksburg-based Steptoe and Johnson. He immediately signed up for an interview.
"I can still remember the partner who interviewed me, he's still there today and we're good friends to this day," Miley said.
"I owe everything I am today to Walter Williams for being willing to go out on a limb and hire me at Steptoe and Johnson."
After clerking with the company for a summer, Miley accepted an offer to come back full-time after graduation. He stayed with the firm for about five years, before bouncing around to a few more firms. Miley worked in insurance law for 10 or 11 years, "representing basically what amounted to corporate America." It was fine, but Miley said he wanted more personal interaction with clients.
That led to several general practice firms, and eventually, as he calls it, "the whole tiger schtick."
Law and office
When Miley first considered running for elected office, friends said they thought it would be great for his legal career. He'd gain some name recognition, win or lose, which could bring in more business, they said.
Miley hates to lose. A self-professed competitor, he won a seat in the House in 2004. Taking office in the winter of 2005, Miley saw something different transpire:
"The people in whose eyes my name was enhanced only knew me as a politician. And some of those people who knew me as a lawyer even before then thought I was closing my law practice, which I can't afford to have happen," Miley said.
He turned to his brother Doug. Two years younger, Doug was working in Dayton, Ohio, for a law firm that also happened to have a subsidiary production company. They made commercials that happened to use tigers, and worked out an agreement with Tim Miley to license with the production company.
"If you're seriously injured, get the tiger on your side," Miley says in one commercial, standing in front of an animatronic American flag blowing in a digital breeze.

Demolition has started on the long abandoned Starlite Theater in Latham. The 58 acres will become a mix of retail and commercial space. But for those who visited the theater in its heyday, its collapse doesn't come without a flood of sentimental memories. Our Erin Vannella has more.
LATHAM, N.Y. -- "I drive by it and see trees and shrubs and everything else all grown through the place and windows broken out and I feel sad about that but hey everything's got its time and it's over," said Delmar resident Joe Futia Jr.
Look through the demolition to imagine a bright stage with big names singing classic hits drawing sell-out crowds. That was the Starlite Theatre its biggest fans will miss.
"After you got through the front gate you would see a theater that was 180 foot span across and a revolving stage down at the bottom," said Futia. "It was fun."
Futia used to work there. His father owned it in its heyday, though he couldn't remember the dates, and his son, stepped on stage.
"My son Joe was in Fiddler on the Roof," said Futia. "He was one of the little walk-on's. He'll probably not like to tell you that but he was."
But Tom Jones was there, too, and Carol Channing, Wayne Newton, Norm Crosby and many others who performed on a revolving stage making even the worst seat in the house a good one.
"They come over and hug you and shake your hand and kiss you," said Futia. "It was really homey."
Before it closed in '98 Mike Tyson fought there and Peggy Flemming skated. There was circus and burlesque. All gone but not forgotten said Futia. Future stores, offices and homes won't erase his memories.
"We got to sit at the table with Bob Hope and his wife and my wife and I," said Futia. "I never met a person who was so down to earth in my life, you know big guy like that, wow."

Wired for Growth and Innovation: How Digital Technologies are Reshaping Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses
18 April 2012
Executive Director Ann Mettler and Senior Fellow Anthony D. Williams explain the potential of the Internet – and greater adoption of information and communication technology in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – to dramatically raise competitiveness, improve productivity and create 21st century jobs. The policy brief sets out a "to-do" list for policy makers to unleash the potential of the single market for SMEs and the economy at large, which in turn offers conceivable and powerful way out of the crisis, given that 99% of all European companies are SMEs.

Genetic variation is an identified factor underlying drug efficacy and toxicity, and adverse drug reactions, such as liver toxicity, are the primary reasons for post-marketing drug failure. Genetic predisposition to toxicity might be detected early in the drug development pipeline by introducing cell-based assays that reflect the genetic and ethnic variation of the expected treatment population. One challenge for this approach is obtaining a collection of suitable cell lines derived from ethnically diverse populations. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) seem ideal for this purpose. They can be obtained from any individual, can be differentiated into multiple relevant cell types, and their self-renewal capability makes it possible to generate large quantities of quality-controlled cell types. Here, we discuss the benefits and challenges of using iPSCs to introduce genetic diversity into the drug development process.

The D-S Expedition: Part I
Dada and Surrealist Art
Arp on Arp
Let's call it the D-S expedition. Between 1915 and about 1947 an unruly group of writers and painters made a collective attempt to reach a new territory of mind. They said that they wanted a revolution and that they were ready to leave literature and art behind. They were far from indifferent to adventure and glory. History tells the story of other great fiascoes—the Crusades, the utopian settlements of the last century. The D-S expedition overturned no governments and never reached the people. Since it never really got under way, it could not leave anything far behind. Nevertheless the events are very real and they are ours.
Or call it Dada and Surrealism. In any case, the cultural police have now herded those rowdy crowds back onto the sidewalks of literature and art. It's all firmly under control. Today, in the top class of French lycées, the works of André Breton are listed as recommended reading. American universities offer courses on the literature of Dada and Surrealism. It has taken me a year to write this review because a new book on some aspect of the D-S expedition seems to appear every few weeks. Was the expedition, after all, a success?
Purists insist on a careful discrimination between Dada and Surrealism as different or even opposed movements. I have been taking sightings and soundings on them for many years and cannot find a more satisfactory distinction between the two than straight chronology. The first six years or so, from 1915 to about 1921, belong to Dada. Duchamp and Picabia rocked New York during World War I. In Zurich Hugo Ball and his friend Richard Huelsenbeck stumbled on the unbeatable nonsense name that made a dozen reputations, especially Tristan Tzara's. The biggest and socially most significant eruption of Dada took place in Berlin at the end of the war; it has been sadly neglected. The two big Paris seasons of 1920 and 1921 replayed—with a few adaptations—the two Zurich seasons of 1916 and 1917. Then, for twenty years, Surrealism held its own.
The textbook version of the D-S expedition says that the Cartesian cast of the French mind organized the anarchistic and nihilistic spirit of Dada into a constructive movement. Thus Surrealism is depicted as having a coherent doctrine, working poets and artists, and a firm place in history. Such a tidied-up account violates both the letter and the spirit of what happened. Dada was child's play, literally and figuratively, and for a time it had wide appeal. Its spirit drew on a deep simplicity of purpose. "Drop everything. Drop Dada." Breton's good-bye to Dada expresses its logical essence. There is an incontrovertible order in being opposed to everything, including one's own survival. In comparison, it is Surrealism that seems wayward and contradictory. Don't let anyone tell you that Surrealism took all these high spirits and subdued them, fitted them into a rational synthesis. The situation was very different.
Until recently all physics textbooks contained an illustration of a historic experiment called the Magdeburg hemispheres. In some engravings the sphere is no bigger than a man's skull, with a pair of horses pulling on each half. In others, performing for groups of burghers and nobles making astonished gestures in the carefully drawn landscape, eighteen to twenty horses strain at a globe as big as a hogshead. The ideas and individuals lumped together as Surrealism had no more cohesive force of their own than the two metal shells joined in Magdeburg. But after the interior chamber had been emptied by endless discussions and declarations, the surrounding pressure of Western art and bourgeois morality held the parts together with remarkable strength. In the case of Surrealism, however, we would have to revise the engraving to show a sphere divided into three parts and another team of horses tugging off in a third direction. For it was a triad of forces that wracked Surrealism: politics, science, and the spiritual.
Although the Surrealists, led by Breton, made some ridiculous mistakes, in the long run their political record is uncompromised. They did not allow themselves to be herded for long into the Communist Party corral. They defended Trotsky, refused to swallow communist fronts and the pap printed in l'Humanité, and were among the first to circulate statements condemning the Moscow trials. It makes a fascinating story in which Breton's stiff-necked disposition lost him many friends and served him well.1
In one of his sturdiest political statements Breton tries to sort out the several stresses exerted on the Surrealist activities:
…all of us hope that power will pass from the hands of the bourgeoisie into the hands of the proletariat. Meanwhile, it is no less necessary, in our opinion, that experiments [expériences] with the inner life continue, and without any external control, even Marxist. [Légitime Défense, 1926]
The French word expérience means both scientific experiment and experience in the general sense. The emphasis here is scientific. Breton and Aragon were former medical students. Their review, La Révolution surréaliste, was designed to look like a medical journal, the better to set off the humor and scandal in its pages. The group established a Surrealist Research Bureau and conducted surveys on suicide, dreams, and sexuality. They published Freud on lay analysis and honored Charcot on "the Fiftieth Anniversary of Hysteria." These scientific ambitions, though fumbling, were genuine and served as an antidote to what they were already calling "the literary alibi."
The ground on which Surrealism established its foundations is described by the first Manifesto as "pure psychic automatism," presumed to reveal "the real functioning of thought." Like Gertrude Stein under William James and Hugo Münsterberg, they sought something other than literary results. A great cloud of uncertainty still hangs over the authenticity and the significance of automatic writing.2 Unfortunately none of the books under review explores the problem thoroughly and without bias. The confusion is increased by the fact that Surrealists turned to the unconscious not primarily for therapeutic purposes but for what they often called "revelation." And here we have already slid a long way into the third domain of the spiritual.
The eighth number of La Révolution surréaliste contains an apparently unposed photograph of "Benjamin Péret insulting a priest." It almost looks as if Péret, in an undershirt, is spitting at the startled figure in a cassock. However, attacks on church and clergy were obviously a matter of trustbusting. The most perceptive French critics (especially Monnerot, Carrouges, and Audoin) have insisted on the commitment of Surrealism to the spiritual and the sacred. Some of the early documents circulated within the group speak both of revolution and of "Surrealist illumination." The language is clear: the Surrealist revolution "seeks above all to create a new kind of mysticism." The members functioned very much like a sect of initiates, and the second manifesto brings all its weight to bear on discovering "a certain point of the mind" which would reconcile all contradictions—a modern version of the Holy Grail.
Occultism, objective chance, the revival of the chivalric and Arthurian traditions of erotic love, magic, and alchemy, the cult of the supernatural in woman—all these unstable items fed a faith that had unmistakable elements of transcendence. It comes out with intensity in much Surrealist poetry, in prose narratives full of quests and epiphanies, and in visionary paintings. Even Paul Eluard, the most "classic" of the poets, shows his hand in Donner à voir.
No mere play on words. Everything is comparable to everything else. Everything finds its echo everywhere, its justification, its resemblance, its opposition, its becoming. And this becoming is infinite.
The word with which the Surrealists tried to conjure so often, le merveilleux, belongs to a sustained attempt to find spiritual values in everyday life.
These, then, were the great attractive forces pulling Surrealism, and the whole D-S expedition, in three different directions: politics, science, and the spiritual. Though the Paris group held together for nearly two decades, it never achieved any complete synthesis or reconciliation of these forces. The dynamics shifted steadily both with the times and with the composition of the group. Such stresses help explain why it is difficult to discern the shape of the D-S expedition—its effort and its accomplishments. As I see it, substantial effort produced limited accomplishments in two respects. From Hugo Ball to Max Ernst to André Breton, the D-S expedition sought a redefinition and a reunification of mind in order to incorporate large segments of mental activity increasingly excluded by materialism (including Marxism). Secondly, they often tried to work collectively, in pairs or as a group, ready to believe that mind and imagination do not occur exclusively in the singular.
These are the most significant aspects of the entire undertaking, and also the most neglected. Both attempts must be counted as failures. Nevertheless, the D-S expedition remains one of the great modern case histories, because of and in spite of its failures. It has much to tell us about inducing and simulating mental processes and about the dynamics of artistic collaboration. It may even have dropped off a few works of art as it went past.
During these events, two men attained recognizable greatness, though they were by no means free from flaws and crotchets: Breton and Duchamp. For fifty years these contrasting figures, leader and loner, were resourceful and intractable in their opposition to an acquisitive society and to political and artistic compromise. Their methods were totally antithetic. Breton founded a counterinstitution—cell without party, brotherhood for research, nonresidential phalanstery. It was an attempt to fight fire with fire. Without the institutionalization of Breton's moral conscience in manifestoes, public meetings, and private game sessions, it is hard to imagine the shape the avant-garde would have taken in France during the Twenties and Thirties.
Meanwhile Duchamp enacted a lengthy and elaborate pantomime of shaking out of his garments and off the soles of his feet every particle of the dust of Western art. Refusing all institutions except the ancient free masonry of chess, he performed a solitary rite of divestiture. It has had an effect as lasting as Breton's negative institution. Though Breton sometimes acted like a toy Pope, and though Duchamp began to look like W.C. Fields trying to get rid of the fly paper, they were neither charlatans nor fools.3
In the United States we have been kept reasonably well informed about these goings-on. What could be reckoned as the third wave of publications is now engulfing us.4 It is having an unfortunate effect, for scholarship and surveys seem to be driving out the original texts. Meanwhile the D-S expedition is enjoying a combination of academic respectability and intellectual fashion. But where is the genuine article? Selected Writings by Eluard is still available in the serviceable New Directions volume.5 Books by Queneau and Leiris appeared, and more or less disappeared, several years ago.
See Henri Lefebvre, "1925," Nouvelle Revue Française, April, 1967; Robert S. Short, "The Politics of Surrealism, 1920-1936," The Journal of Contemporary History no. 2., 1966; and my essay, "Having Congress," in Critique, Cooper Union, 1972.↩
In an age of extended professional training and widespread skepticism toward received values, it constantly confounds me that not only the young but also many certified intellectuals accept uncritically the superiority of spontaneous or unconscious products of mind over those subjected to conscious, rational control. In many situations it is difficult to tell whether this attitude is due to laziness, conviction, or bad faith. The practice and study of automatic writing (the label is highly unsatisfactory) could lead to a better understanding of the relations among nonverbal thought, interior speech (endophasia), and articulation, and challenge some of the monopolistic practices of linguistics in that area. The psychologist Jean Cazaux wrote a short book on Surrealism in 1938; the severe essays of Herbert J. Muller and Kenneth Burke in New Directions 1940 are still very pertinent. But most questions about autowriting (and painting) remain unanswered, rarely asked.
1. Is the autowriter perched on a privileged frontier between sleep and waking (cf. Proust), or does he speak from the heart of the unconscious—trance, deep sleep, "inspiration"?
2. Does the autowriter reach the seat of individual identity? or a repository of collective experiences and attitudes? or Huxley's "Mind at Large," Schrödinger's "singular consciousness"?
3. What does he dredge up: profound, suppressed thoughts closely connected to childhood and primitive knowledge? or a store of clichés, trivia, and drivel mostly of cultural origin?
4. Are talent, sensitivity, and training irrelevant to the operation of automatic processes? ("The essential nature of surrealism is to have proclaimed the complete equality of all normal human beings before the subliminal message a shared patrimony of which each one of us has only to claim his portion." Breton, Le Message automatique)
5. Are the published automatic texts, most of which are punctuated in sentences, retain basic syntax and logic, and have a literary tone, genuine examples of the form? If so, do they have primarily scientific or literary significance?
↩ -
One of the most penetrating and poetic descriptions of Surrealism ever written lies in Sartre's vehement attack on it (What Is Literature? IV). Unerringly he pins down Duchamp and Breton as the principal agents of destruction. Duchamp, he insists, is a metaphysical and semiotic prankster, making holes in conventional meanings so that subjectivity itself begins to dribble out. Breton achieves destruction of the objective world by overloading it with signs, images, and unresolved ambiguities. The eloquence of Sartre's writing hints at a kind of outraged sympathy with these two villains who tried (but failed) to destroy the "bourgeois ego."↩
Several earlier works are still in circulation. Robert Motherwell's Dada Painters and Poets (Wittenborn, 1967, reprint) has had no counterpart for Surrealism. A number of informative histories are available by Hans Richter, Maurice Nadeau, Marcel Jean, and Patrick Waldberg. Works by three American scholars have concentrated primarily on the literary side of Surrealism: Anna Balakian, Herbert Gershman, and J.H. Matthews.↩

first off, I see you're fairly new to the part of the internet past facebook and google, so welcome newfag,(or troll =.=) secondly, it comes from a mixture of feelings, like my relation to this, is that I spent a year of my life with this girl, being in high school, that's a fairly long time, and after a year of, "I love you, don't ever leave me," on our anniversary, she cheats on me with one of my best friends at the time. then, to "get over me," she has sex with three other guys, that I know about, and then I find out she's dating the one man on this earth that I can say, with all sincerity, that I hate. I would LOVE to send this text to her, but, then she would remember me, and probably start texting me again, and I want nothing to do with that bitch.

5 months later. 2012 NY res.1.1.0
Being a young dynamic urbanite with a desire for nice but essentially pointless stuff, I went to a shop called Urban Outfitters. They stock an expansive range of books, compact discs, clothes, shoes and plastic skulls. The staff are lithe & sexy, full of youth and very helpful in the way that a modern retail environment demands. I got some paint and some masking tape and an assistant called Sandy Fanny, we cracked out this muriel in a couple of days. The mini project will include some screen prints based on the mural which will be sold in the Oxford Street shop.
Interestingly all of the shop fitting is done in house. There is a fully functional workshop underneath the shop full of wood and people making things. There was also a room full of young girls giggling and eating tomato soup.
I was employed by employee of the month. Bingo! Good ol' boy.

Frank Laws Show Coming Up, Keep eyes peeled.
Frank Laws has spent the past 5 months in his studio, he only moves from his chair to refill his Le Crueset mug with milky Earl Grey tea, or to go outside and talk on the phone for ages.
He now sports a fully trendy beard which cutely houses a family of freelance mice who help him with web design and his internet passwords. Occasionally he'll wear headphones. It really is something to behold, a master at work. He used to be a bricklayer, y'know. So he's like, totally authentic, yeah. With an appreciation of things that are built with care & attention he has produced some new paintings which are based on and around housing estates in East London.
They actaully are rather good. If one owned some money one would purchase one for one's hise.

From the rock.
Uncommon is a guide book to Malta & Gozo. It has extensive lists of all the best places to get a full english breakfast whilst being comfortingly surrounded by fellow English nationals & ex pats. Useful maps, detailing all the best hotels with swimming pools and tour bus trips for the truely unadventurous, laid on holiday.
Oh no, hang on that's not right.
This book is about all those other places, where stupid foriegners don't go. The secret secuded parts of the island. Let's hope the book doesn't get too popular or the whole island will be spoilt.
I drew a picture of (elephant) Man United. The Maltese love 'em.
Bloody English.
Anyway Emma Mattei & Jon Banthorpe have produced this lovely book.
It has some really great stuff in it.

You'd have to ask him why he didn't turn up. He doesn't get out of bed for less than 50 quid.
Directed by Michael Oswald produced by John-Paul Pryor.
Here's the rundown,
The film explores the mood of the zeitgeist, the notion that our economy is based upon a system of kleptocracy and the idea that radical financial reform is key to overturning the current debt-based monetary system, which effectively ties the common people into slavery from the cradle to the grave.
It features interviews with cutting-edge musicians such as Anika, Gaggle and Saul Williams, the leading economist Nicolas Shaxson (author of Treasure Islands), artist, author and legend Billy Childish and the editors of burgeoning alternative media Bare Bones and The Quietus, not to mention some pivotal figures in the student activist movement.

Tales from the bus stop. The bus stop centric universe, the focal point for everything that happens. People leaving, people returning, some people never buy tickets, travelling to the next town, or the capital or away to foreign countries. Escapism on physical and metaphorical levels. Self medicating. Confusing lust for love. The importance of transportation, a scooter, scrambler or even a car. A desire to be somewhere else, a constant feeling and fear of missing out. The grass is definitely greener. Curiosity never killed anyone who stayed here.

Could this be your precious?
One of the many items to be auctioned this month!
We're excited to announce the long-awaited return of the Own A Piece of KEXP campaign, which for the first time will be run as an auction. The Own a Piece of KEXP campaign began back in 2004 with the thought that it would be fun to "sell" annual sponsorship of items of tremendous importance to KEXP (the coffee pot, the DJ interview mic in the in-studio, the DJ booth, etc) all for a gift of support. The "buyer" would then have a physical presence in the station all year long with a sign propped next to their winnings and their name and photo on KEXP's website.
With the return of the Own A Piece of KEXP campaign, we've decided to change it up and add a little fun competition to the mix by turning the campaign into an auction. So when the auction starts up on August 6th, head to KEXP.org to see what item you (or your dog) might want as your own. Perhaps it will be Kevin Cole's glorious hair, or the Denon CD players which feed music out to thousands of listeners each and every day, or maybe it will be Leon's "office," better known as the men's restroom. Nearly 30 items will be put up on the chopping block between Monday, August 6th and Friday, August 24th with new items going up everyday for the first week, so place a bid fast to stake your claim. All proceeds from the auction will go to support the programming you love on KEXP.
The auctions will run for three weeks, from August 6th to 24th with many auctions ending throughout the week of August 20th to 26th. Our auction winners will be recognized as station sponsors with their name posted next to their item at KEXP and on the website for the next year.

Decorating Your Home with MM: Looped Tree
This idea was created by Jill Godon. She used MM's holiday programs to create this beautiful decoration.
- Trim various sheets of patterned paper into 1" x 4" strips
- Bend strips in half, creating loop, and layer over foam tree
- Use map pins to secure each corner, making sure to overlap loops about 1/4" on each side
- Start from bottom and work upwards
- Glue floral wire between two chipboard star shapes, leaving 2" exposed at bottom of star
- Use paper piercer to poke hole in top of tree and place star
- Decorate tree with brads, gem stickers and ribbon
This idea came from Making Memories Season of Joy idea book. Make sure to check it out for more great ideas.

Are You Depressed? ~ Ira Israel
"I don't know who discovered water but I don't think it was a fish." —Marshall MacLuhan
Since the time of Hamlet—"But two months dead, nay, not so much, not two"—our culture has deemed that the bereavement period should last approximately two months.
After that time, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, eight of the nine symptoms that characterize bereavement now characterize depression.
On my DVD "Mindfulness for Urban Depression" I make a temporal distinction that helps me differentiate pain, grief, and depression: Pain is immediate and often overwhelming; it informs you that there is a precise situation that demands attention. For example, a broken nose or arm is painful because it needs to be addressed urgently.
Grief is the period of time it takes to process a loss, any loss irrespective of whether it is your mother, your son, your job, your 401K, your home, your car keys, or your favorite pen—anything that is a part of your life is something that you may have to learn to live without.
And then I ponder the putative distinction(s) between grief and depression according to the DSM.
For are we not continuously processing losses? Doesn't change—and thus simply being alive, since everything is constantly changing—inherently imply loss? Lost hopes, lost dreams, lost aspirations, lost expectations, lost friendships, lost loved ones.
So then, what exactly does it mean to be diagnosed with depression and why are there 100 million prescriptions for anti-depressants written every year in America?
I would like to explore the possibility that our scientific/capitalistic paradigm has an aversion to heightened emotions (crying, screaming, etc.) and doesn't allow sufficient bereavement time because grieving can hinder productivity and busyness/business.
Babies cry because they are not getting their immediate needs met. They cannot articulate which need isn't being met—food, safety, cleanliness, or affection—and the situation requires a caretaker to interpret what the non-specific cry refers to. Adults need the same basic things as babies need to survive, but to thrive in our advanced society an adult also needs a sense of self, a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose, a sense of accomplishment, the space to process emotions, some means of attaining whatever peace of mind he or she can muster… and maybe a little sex (although I would argue that it is far easier to live without sex than it is to live without affection.)[1]
Let's explore for a moment the possibility that the symptoms the DSM identifies as constituting depression are analogous to the non-specific crying of babies, that depression is a blunt tool people subconsciously learn to use in order to try to get their needs met. Crying does not solve the baby's problem but it does draw other people's attention to the situation. Similarly, depression doesn't solve any problems (although there could be secondary gains such as avoiding work); viewed as a tool, depression is obviously maladaptive, but it does draw attention to a potentially problematic situation.
And when we interpret these situations, when we "read" the symptoms, we often find that the depressed person does not feel as if he or she has the space or time to process losses and disappointments, and/or he or she doesn't have the loving and trustworthy connections that would facilitate the sympathy and empathy needed to work through the natural traumas of being alive and experiencing perpetual change.
I doubt you ever heard anyone say, "I feel completely lovable, and I feel loved, supported, and appreciated by my family, friends and colleagues, and I'm depressed."
All of us will experience terrible traumas and tragedies. It is those of us with real community who will be able to process our resentments and negative emotions and move forward in a positive light.
I guess it comes as no surprise then when we learn of recent studies demonstrating that placebos, exercise and meditation are more effective than anti-depressants in the long-run.
Which is a more empowering position, to believe that you have a certain gene or brain chemistry that causes a disease as defined by a book that changes every 15-20 years, or to analyze your way of being, your relationships, your needs and your tools for getting them met, and then make adjustments that bode more favorably for your overall well-being and happiness?
If it will help you decide, just read Lisa Cosgrove and Sheldon Krimsky's article from the Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University wherein they state, "The revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders… has created a firestorm of controversy because of questions about undue (pharmaceutical) industry influence."
It is clear that as a society we are tolerant of a relatively thin bandwidth of human emotions.
Curing the supposed depression epidemic is not contingent upon altering brain chemistry with billions of dollars of pharmaceuticals. Treating this dis-ease would first entail reframing our cultural paradigm and changing our priorities to create the time and space needed for people to express and process a wider range of emotions. Secondly, it would entail teaching people skills for cultivating loving relationships and community so that they don't feel alienated, isolated, and disconnected. Thirdly, it would entail providing people with healthy tools like meditation and yoga that are specifically designed to help cultivate personal equanimity, peace of mind, and ease.
[1] Maslow adds "self-actualization" to the top his hierarchy of needs, but I feel that this ability to overcome and transcend oneself is problematic for spiritual reasons that I am not going to address here.

This is a good article except it seems to leave out the possibility that some people really do need medication. I agree that exercise and meditation and friends and diet are all very important in treating depression. But sometimes, people who are in the depths of depression can't do the things they know would be good for them. Medication can help stabilize them so they can start doing these other helpful practices. And studies about the effectiveness of anti-depressants are very complex and very contradictory. It really comes down to what works for the individual.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- The Ulster County District Attorney's office says the person of interest in their investigation into the death of Anita Jacobs-Royer has been taken into custody.
According to the DA's office, the person is being held by U.S. Marshals in New York City for violating his parole. Officials have still not said what kind of relationship Jacobs-Royer had with this person.
The 45-year-old was found dead in her home on Third Avenue last weekend.
The District Attorney's office announced on Monday that they were looking into Jacobs-Royer's death as a homicide.
The person of interest was arrested by fugitive task force and members of the Kingston Police Department in New York City.
