Aug 17 – Homily – Fr Maximilian W: Prayer: A Sign of FaithSunday, August 17th, 2014
Homily #140817n ( 09min) Play – Father speaks of today's theme, fidelity and perseverance in prayer. He tells why, sometimes, God doesn't seem to answer our prayers, and emphasizes that God is constantly reaching out to us; the question is: are we reaching out to Him? Do we have faith in him like the Canaanite woman from today's Gospel reading? In prayer we confess our need for God, and demonstrate our faith in Him. We can see how much the world needs prayer, Our Lady at Lourdes, Fatima, and other places has asked for prayer and penance. God is asking us, "Turn to me in persevering prayer, show Me your faith."

This is in our master bath. I added the corner cabinets for my wife to store more stuff. The medicine cabinet was for my stuff mostly. Made from poplar and painted. I did not get to take pics before they were well into use so please excuse the "stuff".
Ok, I fixed the photos. Sorry for any strained necks or headaches.

Pleasure P - Who's Gonna Love U
Artist: Pleasure P
Producer: K.E. On The Track
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 17 total votes )
While DJBooth always focuses on the music, we'll let the fine folks at the gossip sites bury themselves in dirt, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least mention that the last few months have been rocky for Pleasure P. Hoping to put all the drama behind him and get people once again talking about his song skills, Pleasure is back with potential new single Who's Gonna Love U, making its world premiere right here, right now. Produced by K.E. On The Track, who lays down a bouncing, synth heavy beat that straddles the line between pop and r&b, Who's Gonna Love U is the tale of man who may have done wrong, but still knows that his lady won't get better love anywhere else. With hitmaker Rico Love penning the lyrics and Pleasure's always smooth voice gliding over the record this sounds like radio will eat it up, but you just never know until DJBooth Nation gets to commenting; get to it people. In the meantime, P's upcoming sophomore album is still awaiting an official title and release date, so you'll just have to keep it locked for more.

Tesla Unloaded on New Jersey Following Last Week's Legal Drama
Last week, Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) suffered a blow when legislation backed by the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers (NJCAR) passed, effectively banning Tesla's direct sales to consumer approach in the state. Under the new rules, Tesla has until April 1 to sell its vehicles before its license to do so is yanked; however, its stores in the state will remain in place as galleries, and people will be on hand to answer questions, though no sales may take place.
However, if you thought Tesla would go quietly, you haven't been paying much attention to the brand — or its passionate and outspoken leader, Elon Musk. On Friday, Musk and company unloaded on New Jersey and its governor, Chris Christie, and said that it would look into "judicial remedies" in order to retain its right to sell its vehicles within the state.
Tesla called the move "an affront to the very concept of a free market," among other barbs directed at Christie's administration. "The rationale given for the regulation change that requires auto companies to sell through dealers is that it ensures 'consumer protection.' If you believe this, Governor Christie has a bridge closure he wants to sell you!" Musk quipped in Friday's blog post, poking fun at the bridge closure controversy that ensnared Christie and some of his top aides.
Naturally, Musk wasn't done, and took on the NJCAR also. "Unless they are referring to the mafia version of 'protection,' this is obviously untrue. As anyone who has been through the conventional auto dealer purchase process knows, consumer protection is pretty much the furthest thing from the typical car dealer's mind."

Where do you see iOS in 5 years?
Steve Jobs made an interesting point in his keynote for the iPhone back in 2007 (take a look at 10:18). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4OEsI0Sc_s
Jobs mentions that the OS is 5 years ahead of anything on the market at that point in time. And time has proved him correct. With only minimal changes to the iOS design paradigm, it has managed to stay relevant and excel in the times, along with Android for FIVE years. I mean, look at the changes Android has gone through...while the iPhone has maintained its grid of icons, Android has gone from ugly to beautiful to blazingly fast. It's time for the iPhone to be reinvented.
Once again, to stay on top of the heap, Apple must innovate. But how do they do so when so many users are invested in the platform and comfortable with how it functions? Five years from now, where do you see iOS?
Relatively unchanged, but with more features? A combination of laptops and touchscreens to create a single OS, a la Windows 8? Or something else that's insanely great?
Other OS are pushing the boundaries. iOS, it's your move.

MINI Paceman 2015 Refresh Debuting in Beijing Next Week
The MINI Paceman will debut the same 2015 refresh we saw with the Countryman in NYC in Bejing next week. The refresh will focus in three new colors, improved sound deadening, new grill designs for all models and new exterior and interior trim.
Additionally MINI is taking it's R56 accessory LED headlights and making them a factory option (standard on the MCS and JCW) on the R60 complete with halo rings. The foglight portion is powered by by three LED units arranged horizontally at the centre of the cluster. The daytime driving light takes the form of a luminous ring fed by 15 LED units. When the parking lights are switched on, only five LED units are active in the upper third of the ring.
Finally look for standard rain sensing wipers and automatic climate control across the range in the US.
The updated Paceman will arrive in showrooms this July and August.

RIVERSIDE, California, May 20. THE Santa Margarita High School girls and University High School boys took home the CIF Southern Section Swimming and Diving Championship titles for Division I last Saturday afternoon, highlighted by national high school records from Santa Margarita's Katie McLaughlin and Saugus' Abbey Weitzeil. Santa Margarita topped the girls' field with 280 points, followed by JSerra (209) and Edison (162). University won the boys' meet with 337 points; Loyola finished second with 246 points, while Edison took third with 185.
The meet got off to an exciting start with a very close finish in the opening 200 medley relay. After trailing by almost a second and a half after the backstroke leg, Flintridge Sacred Heart's Christina Campbell, Kirsten Vose, Katie Altmayer and Kate Herrill chased down JSerra's Katie Glavinovich, Catherine Lowengrub, Kaitlyn Albertoli and Karli Thuen for the win, 1:44.38 to 1:44.52. Santa Margarita's Andrea Laliena, Emily Gibson, Raquel Remick and Camryn Barry touched third in 1:45.94.
In the boys' relay, University took down their own Division I meet record from prelims in dominating fashion. Daniel Tran, Michael Schiffer, Corey Okubo and William Hofstadter swam a 1:30.10 to erase their day-old 1:30.87 from the record books. Loyola's Joon Sung, Zach Profozich, Oliver Maarse and Ryan Wilson held off several other schools to take second in 1:32.05, just .02 ahead of Redlands' Shea Macready, Tyler Ocasio-Pare, Kyle Gornay and Collin Green (1:32.07).
Santa Margarita's Katie McLaughlin earned her first of two individual victories in the girls' 200 free final. McLaughlin lowered her own Division I meet record of 1:45.39 from last year with a 1:44.66 for the win. Woodbridge's Daniela Georges nearly broke the old record as well with a 1:45.89 for second, while Foothill's Rachel Thompson wrapped up third with a 1:47.51.
Santa Margarita kept the momentum going in the next event as sophomore Grant Shoults swam away with the boys' 200 free crown. Shoults touched in 1:35.99 to knock off Hart's Cole Cogswell (1:36.81) and Edison's Thomas Smith (1:38.02).
Valencia freshman Nikol Popov got her high school career off to a great start with a win in her first individual event, the 200 IM. Popov cleared two minutes in the event, touching in 1:59.90 to secure the win. Flintridge Sacred Heart's Kirsten Vose (2:00.85) and Edison's Nora Deleske (2:01.44) rounded out the top three.
University senior Corey Okubo capped the last 200 IM of his high school career in record-breaking fashion, lowering his own Division I meet record of 1:46.92 from prelims to 1:45.42 in finals. Corona del Mar senior Liam Karas also broke the old record in finishing second in 1:46.54. Daniel Tran of University snuck in for third at 1:48.99.
In the girls' 50 free, Saugus' Abbey Weitzeil became the fastest swimmer in high school history with a record-breaking 21.98 in finals. That lowered the national high school record of 21.99, set by Olivia Smoliga in 2012, and the Division I meet record of 22.21 set by Weitzeil in prelims. JSerra's Kaitlyn Albertoli finished way behind in 22.84, still an incredible time for high school. Alemany's Katherine Wagner rounded out the top three in 23.07.
Loyola's Corey John got to the wall first in the boys' 50 free final, hitting the wall in 20.55 to finish just ahead of University's William Hofstadter (20.71) and Mater Dei's Matthew Payne (20.96). Alex Chan of Saugus actually had the third-best time of the day, but finished ninth in 20.80.
Capistrano Valley freshman Camryn Hidaldo won her first section title in the girls' 1-meter diving final, scoring 536.40 points to edge Mission Viejo's Alexandra Caplan (523.80) and San Clemente's Haley Farnsworth (522.35). Tarek Abdelghany made it a sweep of the diving events for Capistrano Valley after winning the boys' 1-meter title with 579.35 points. El Modena's Matt Casillas scored 539.65 points to finish second, followed by Huntington Beach's Brandon Loschiavo in third with 537.95 points.
Another national high school record fell in the girls' 100 fly, this time to Santa Margarita's Katie McLaughlin. McLaughlin touched in 51.78 to take down Jasmine Tosky's national mark of 51.92 from 2011, and also took over a second off her own meet record of 52.93 from last year. Tamara Santoyo of Hart swam a 53.75 to take second while Anna Quinn of Thousand Oaks placed third in 54.34.
Dos Pueblos junior Alex Valente had almost as impressive a race in the boys' 100 fly, finishing just over a second off the national high school record in that event with a 46.69. He wasn't quite fast enough to take down Joseph Schooling's record of 45.52, but he did lower Kyle Gornay's Division I meet record of 46.83 from 2013. University's Corey Okubo took second in 47.53, while Edison's Wade Nelson claimed third place honors with a 48.63.
Abbey Weitzeil of Saugus took down her second national high school record in as many events in the 100 free, lowering Dagny Knutson's 2009 mark from 48.15 to 47.91. That also took six tenths off her own Division I meet record of 48.54 from prelims of the 400 free relay, which she led off. Kaitlyn Albertoli of JSerra finished second to Weitzeil for a second time, posting a 49.90. Rachel Thompson of Foothill came in third in 50.49.
After finishing second in the 200 free, Hart's Cole Cogswell moved up one spot on the podium to first in the 100 free, out-touching Redlands senior Kyle Gornay for the title, 43.97 to 44.03. Cogswell just missed the Division I meet record in the event, a 43.85 set by Derya Buyukuncu in 1994. Valencia's Kevin Dai swam a 45.12 to take third.
Woodbridge's Daniela Georges held off Capistrano Valley's Brooke Lorentzen to win the girls' 500 free, 4:45.94 to 4:46.85. Meagan Popp of Corona del Mar touched third in 4:50.35. Meanwhile, Capistrano Valley's Nicholas Norman won the boys' 500 free in 4:23.02, ahead of Servite teammates Stephen Marcin (4:24.30) and Jerad Kaskawal (4:27.02).
Santa Margarita's quartet of Camryn Barry, Raquel Remick, Elizabeth Devitt and Katie McLaughlin raced to the top spot in the girls' 200 free relay, holding off Flintridge Sacred Heart's Kate Herrill, Katie Altmayer, Christina Campbell and Kirsten Vose by .14, 1:34.64 to 1:34.78. Woodbridge claimed third in 1:35.78, led by Alexa Clayfield, Whitney Ching-Wen Chang, Kathryn Krolikowski and Daniela Georges.
In the boys' 200 free relay, Loyola's Oliver Maarse, Joon Sung, Ryan Wilson and Corey John took down the Division I meet record of 1:23.04, set by Yucaipa in 2008. The foursome touched in 1:22.57 to outdistance Hart's Cole Cogswell, Kevin Moore, Austin Barreiro and Matt Johnson, who touched in 1:23.15. Valencia's Kevin Dai, Jessie Kim, Tyler Tran and Jack Kerchner took third in 1:23.94.
Three swimmers cleared 56 seconds to lead a quick girls' 100 backstroke field. Foothill's Courtney Mykkanen led the way in 55.12, just off her prelim time of 54.83. Ventura's Solie Laughlin stayed right with Mykkanen the whole way and touched just over a tenth behind in 55.29, while Mater Dei's Aislinn Light took third in 55.93.
Redlands senior Kyle Gornay rebounded from a second place finish in the 100 free earlier in the meet to put his stamp on the 100 back. Gornay won by more than a second, just missing his own Division I meet record of 47.04 with a 47.15. Valencia's Jessie Kim came in second with a 48.39, followed by Westlake's David Puczkowski in 48.56.
Valencia freshman Nikol Popov added a second victory to her win in the 200 IM earlier in the day with a commanding victory in the 100 breast. Popov touched in 1:01.17 to beat Edison freshman Nora Deleske (1:02.61) by almost a second and a half. Devin Newton, also of Edison, also cleared 1:03 with a 1:02.82 for third. Tyler Lin of Corona del Mar won the final boys individual event on the table, taking the 100 breast title in 55.53 over University's Judd Howard (55.97) and Northwood's William Monjay (56.17).
Santa Margarita wrapped up the girls' championship title with a win in the final 400 free relay. Elizabeth Devitt, Sydney Franzen, Emily Boggess and Katie McLaughlin raced to a 3:24.32, just over a second ahead of JSerra's Kaitlyn Albertoli, Brittany Kahn, Katie Glavinovich and Karli Thuen (3:25.44). Foothill, led by Emily Konishi, Brooke Maxson, Courtney Mykkanen and Rachel Thompson, finished third in 3:27.30.
In the boys' relay, Hart's Cole Cogswell, Austin Barreiro, Kevin Moore and Matt Johnson edged Redlands' Shea Macready, Collin Green, Tyler Ocasio-Pare and Tom Frye, 3:02.41 to 3:02.60. Loyola took third behind Kyle Otazu, Sean Lee, Ryan Wilson and Corey John's 3:03.71.

In a bid to be more active here I'm going to start posting quotations. I'm getting up to my elbows in Modernism, and this from H.D. is worth sharing for its anger at the degraded status of the poet. Paydirt in the last two lines of this section.
So we reveal our status
with twin-horns, disk, erect serpent,
though these or the double-plume or lotus
are, you now tell us, trivial
intellectual adornment;
poets are useless,
more than that,
we, authentic relic,
bearers of secret wisdom,
living remnant
of the inner band
of the sanctuaries' initiate,
are not only 'non-utilitarian',
we are 'pathetic':
this is the new heresy;
but if you do not even understand what words say,
how can you expect to pass judgment
on what words conceal?
H.D., The Walls do Not Fall, p.14 of Trilogy (Carcanet Press: Cheadle, 1973)
I had tremendous fun sitting in the chair at a Contemporary Fiction Seminar event in conversation with my old friend and former colleague, crime novelist and Sounds and Melody Maker journalist Cathi Unsworth, and I hope this comes across in the video below. We covered quite a lot of ground talking at music selected to respond to Cathi's work, but also hopefully addressing some broader concerns of the pop music and contemporary literature brief. I particularly enjoyed playing Nick Cave's version of Stagger Lee in almost its entirety – still sends a shiver down the spine!
I'm very excited to be giving a paper at the Weird Conference a week on Friday. I'm going to speak about formal innovations in Weird fiction related to the spatial imaginary of the period, a kind of reversioning of Joseph Frank's seminal essay 'Spatial Form in Modern Literature' as 'Higher Spatial Form in Weird Literature' that hopes to disturb Modernist border policing in an appropriately oozing and weird fashion.
To whet appetite, here's Roger Luckhurst's freewheeling and thought-provoking plenary from last year's Weird Council with some urgent advice around 13 mins 40 seconds:
Tacita Dean's film JG, opening today at the Frith Street Gallery, was inspired by a correspondence with J.G. Ballard shortly before his death from cancer in 2009. Dean was interested in the connections between Ballard's short story 'The Voices of Time' (1960) and Robert Smithson's masterpiece, Spiral Jetty (1970), a 1500 ft earthwork built into the Salt Lake in Utah. Ballard urged Dean to 'treat [Spiral Jetty] as a mystery that your film will solve.' I've not been able to make it in to see the film yet but Ballard's papers are archived at the British Library so I spent some of yesterday nosing around in them.
I'm attempting to hawk around paying print outlets a piece based on that archival cratedigging, so won't post it here until next week, but here's some useful contextualising material. Ballard sent Dean the text of his short piece 'Robert Smithson as Cargo Cultist' (printed on the back of a proof page from Millennium People). This is published in Conley, Brian, and Joe Amrhein, Robert Smithson: A Collection of Writings on Robert Smithson on the Occasion of the Installation of 'Dead Tree' at Pierogi 2000 (Brooklyn, NY: Pierogi 2000, 1997) but is nowhere online, so with apologies to the publishers, here it is:
What cargo might have berthed at the Spiral Jetty? And what strange caravel could have emerged from the saline mists of this remote lake and chosen to dock at this mysterious harbour? One can only imagine the craft captained by a rare navigator, a minotaur obsessed by inexplicable geometries, who had commissioned Smithson to serve as his architect and devise this labyrinth in the guise of a cargo terminal.
But what was the cargo? Time appears to have stopped in Utah, during a geological ellipsis that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years. I assume that that cargo was a clock, though one of a very special kind. So many of Smithson's monuments seem to be a patent amalgam of clock, labyrinth and cargo terminal. What time was about to be told, and what even stranger cargo would have landed here?
The Amarillo Ramp I take to be both jetty and runway, a proto-labyrinth that Smithson hoped would launch him from the cramping limits of time and space into a richer and more complex realm.
Fifty thousands years from now our descendants will be mystified by the empty swimming pools of an abandoned southern California and Cote d'Azur, lying in the dust like primitive time machines or the altar of some geometry obsessed religion. I see Smithson's monuments belonging in the same category, artefacts intended to serve as machines that will suddenly switch themselves on and begin to generate a more complex time and space. All his structures seem to be analogues of advanced neurological processes that have yet to articulate themselves.
Reading Smithson's vivid writings, I feel he sensed all this. As he stands on the Spiral Jetty he resembles Daedalus inspecting the ground plan of the labyrinth, working out the freight capacity of his cargo terminal, to be measured in the units of a neurological deep time. He seems unsure whether the cargo has been delivered.
His last flight fits into the myth, though for reasons of his own he chose the wrong runway, meeting the fate intended for his son. But his monuments endure in our minds, the ground plans of heroic psychological edifices that will one day erect themselves and whose shadows we can already see from the corners of our eyes.
I'd also like to draw attention to Eric Saxon's MA thesis which is a nice piece of scholarship on precisely this relationship; and Smithson's essay 'Quasi-Infinities and the Waning of Space' (1966, sadly a bit difficult to read in this form). There's also a really solid article by Andrew Frost at ballardian.com. Suffice to say there is much to be read and thought around this relationship.
Depicted on the canvas is a thing. The painterly language of a still-life tells us that it is an object: it is placed on some kind of rectilinear plinth, presenting a sharply defined corner to us. There is nothing in the background but colour – a depthless black or white, perhaps a queasy green or brown, an elegant purple. There, however, our certainties begin to fail us. What this thing 'is' is not certain. Ivan Seal paints many of them. He has referred to them in the past as 'hand-eye parasites': should we assume that by this he means things that assume control of his 'hand-eye' co-ordination to make themselves exist
Such an object might be a bit like a distorted mass of skulls on spikes, a model of a ballerina, a fan of sectioned wood, a lump of agate, a box, a giant fabric balloon, a woodwork block with a chisel resting on it, a lump of clay sectioned with wire. It may be a vase of blooms, overdaubed, overflowing their container. It may be a branch adorned with hanging objects. It may be some kind of watch, but not a watch that has surely ever been worn, its wrist-strap is stretched, strange, somehow snakelike, perhaps reverting to the animal that gave up its skin. The strangeness of the objects, the fact that they don't quite correlate with anything in the real world, is what they are about. They speak to us stylistically of classical painting – and their technical composition is, to this untrained eye, seriously impressive – but their content speaks of something altogether different.
I first encountered Ivan Seal's paintings on the album covers of Leyland Kirby and The Caretaker records, three of which have just been re-released on vinyl. I chased down the tail-end of his first show at the Carl Freedman Gallery on Charlotte Road a couple of years back. I've just been to see the new show at the same gallery and spoke to Ivan in situ. His work has expanded, in all dimensions – the thickly impastoed oils now emerge yet further from the surfaces of the canvas, giving objects that were once sculptural again a sculptural feel.
Like his friend Jim Kirby, also from Stockport, Seal now lives in Berlin (although Seal reports that Kirby is moving to Poland) and like his friend he has worked with sound: before returning to painting five or so years ago, in fact, sound art was the form his practice typically took. There is a kinship between Seal's painting and Kirby's sound work that makes sense of their coupling in Leyland Kirby and Caretaker releases. The objects Seal paints are remembered from his childhood. He has not seen them for decades but they are dredged up from memory and return distorted, mutated, accreted. He does these memories great service to remake them as vivid, lurid things, but they can never be what they were. They have been changed in his head, changed by time. We realise that mental deposits are not eroded like environmental forms, or degraded like discarded metal; the cerebral equivalents of frost-shattering and rust do not destroy so much as translate. Colours are shifted, edges are blurred, shadows are cast at impossible angles and lines are drawn into thin air. References have been accrued: Bacon directly referenced in one piece. The objects have become steeped in the solution of the unconscious mind, doused in the fluid of dream.
Seal's painting seems particularly timely to me. Philosophy is very interested in Kant right now, even if that interest is in stealing his fire, in revolving the Copernican revolution a quarter-turn again, taking the subject away from the centre of the picture. I'm not a philosopher, so I'm not going to begin to attempt to engage in that particular discourse, but what I would say is that Seal's things seem to work in similar territory, to work at the difference between gedachtnis and erinnerung, between, very broadly, active and passive remembering. I'm going to go to Howard Caygill's admirable A Kant Dictionary as my first port of call for all things Kant (admirable, because he guides you through the massive volume of extremely difficult work by single word themes – simply and effectively – thereby making it unnecessary to dredge through the Critique of Pure Reason first-hand – hey, this is a blog-post, right?)
Here is Caygill's entry on Kant's take on the memory:
Memory is defined as the 'faculty of visualising the past intentionally' which, along with the 'faculty of visualising something as future', serves to associate 'ideas of the past and future condition of the subject with the present' (A §34). Together, both memory and prevision are important for 'linking together perceptions in time' and connecting 'in a coherent experience what is no more with what does not yet exist, by means of what is present' (ibid.). It can thus be seen to play a significant role in the problem of identity, and more particularly, in the character of synthesis. Memory is implied in two of the three syntheses of the 'transcendental faculty of imagination' presented in the deduction of CPR: in the 'synthesis of apprehension' where it informs the consistency of appearances, and in the 'synthesis of recognition' where it is implied in the continuity of the consciousness of appearances. (Bloomsbury, 1995, 290-291)
Clearly, temporality is crucial to the experience of memory for Kant, and memory to the imagination, which in Kant's thought was more literally a process of making mental images. Seal's work seems to disrupt some of the assumptions about the temporalities of memory and to insert assorted spanners into the idea of a consistency of appearances. The things that emerge on the canvas are not recognisable in any sensible sense. In a perhaps slightly tangential way, Seal's work perhaps has a kinship with Richard Long's, about whom we talked briefly: there is evidently a very different approach to practice, but there is the same attention to the experience of time, the same ability to condense that sticky stuff onto a canvas.
Seal's painting also seems to shift some of the agency onto the things he paints, to distance the composing subjectivity from the finished work. He gives his painting titles using a random text generator, a next generation Bourroughsian cut-up machine. This is more coherent than it might seem at first glance – there is also a disturbance of temporality in the text that we discern more clearly if we call it linearity, the way in which one word – or letter – follows another in a line of text. It also makes each thing more sui generis – the act of titling has been delegated to a machine and each thing on each canvas has become more independent of the subjectivity that put it there when it gains a name like 'triltry konte' or 'pervaalfet deatpetchsplobasmag (drunk in a car no. 678 )'. A press release was also produced in the cut-up style.
I could happily spraff on about this painting for pages because I love it but if I did I might miss the chance to recommend the show while it's still on. It was was recently given a seal of approval (please don't even think of that as a pun) by the Contemporary Art Society's Paul Hobson who has this week been appointed director of Modern Art Oxford.
The media line is that she was "divisive", and that seems to remain the case, as folk disagree about whether to respect her or to celebrate her death, or even whether to respect the rights of those who want to respect her or the rights of those who want to celebrate her death. Greater agreement is to be found among politicians, who recognise the politically numinous and, by-and-large, respect that, if nothing else. The irony is that one of the few distinct classes left after Thatcher – apart from the 'underclass' of her direct creation – is the political class, an isolated cadre of intellectually lithe control-freaks, ego-maniacs and affect-engineers.
The most interesting piece I've read came from Russell Brand, of all people, someone I'm not accustomed to much enjoying. Describing a sighting of the late Thatcher in her late-period dotage and loneliness tending the plants in Temple, he comes across as some deviant, near-future naturalist, a spotter of almost-extinct species. His story reminded me of Gordon Burn's encounter with Thatcher in Battersea Park at the beginning of Born Yesterday (if I leant my copy to anyone reading this I'd love it back!):
Where does she go in between all the times she is not being 'Margaret Thatcher'? The answer, sometimes, it seems, is here, where the short, purposeful steps of her performance self are allowed to dwindle into the short, tentative steps of pensionerdom and widowhood and she is allowed time away from the big emphatic colours she uses to identify herself for the cameras – her blazons. (Faber and Faber (2008) pp. 17-18)
Burn, in his fiction and hybrid writing, was something of a geologist of morbidity, digging down into the cultural weirdness surrounding death through the strata of celebrity. His nearly-dead Thatcher was a suspended premonition of what we now have. He recognised Thatcher as exerting a powerful pull in the imaginary realm, the social unconscious that finds coprolalic vent in the tabloid press. So too did Iain Sinclair, whose portrayal of the Widow in Downriver routes into fever-dream to find appropriate voice:
One morning … the newspapers loud with her praise, the Sun in its heaven, banked television monitors floating a cerulean image-wash, soothing and silent, streamlets of broken Wedgwood crockery, satellite bin lids flinging back some small reflection of the blue virtue she had copyrighted, filmy underwear of sky goddesses, clouds of unknowing … the Widow rose from her stiff pillows – bald as Mussolini – and felt the twitch start in her left eyelid. She ordained the immediate extermination of this muscular anarchy, this palace revolt: but without success. She buzzed for the valet of the bedchamber, a smiler in hornrims. He entered the presence with a deferential smirk, hands behind back (like a defeated Argie conscript), bowing from the hip: he was half a stone overweight, creaking with starch and greedy for preferment. He disconnected the 'sleep-learning' gizmo, the tapes that fed the Widow her Japanese humour, taught the finer points of cheating atstud poker, and provided an adequate form forecast to the current camel-racing season. She was a brand leader, she did not sleep. 'A' brand leader? The leader, the longest-serving politico-spiritual Papa Boss not yet given the wax treatment, and planted in a glass box to receive the mercifully filtered kisses of a grateful populace. (Penguin (2004) p. 285; Paladin (1991))
Wax treatment, yes: but there's to be no glass box. Sinclair's vision has the feel of detournement, the blighted writer reclaiming his psychic territory and wreaking satiric revenge: he, too, has her defined by death; steeped in sleep; producer of skies. Thatcher summons this visionary mode, her powerful psychic pull requiring something far more lucid than realism. A response of this order closes David Peace's GB84, a single-page prose poem equal parts Blake and Marx:
Here where she stands at the gates at the head of her tribe and waits – Triumphant on the mountains of our skulls. Up to her hems in the rivers of our blood – A wreath in one hand. The other between her legs – Her two little princes dancing by their necks from her apron strings, and she looks down at the long march of labour halted here before her and says, Awake! Awake! This is England, Your England – and the Year is Zero. (Faber and Faber (2004) p. 462)
Note that hand between the legs. There have been any number of quotes remembering Thatcher's sexual power, and doubtless this is astonishing to the young and repulsive to those who self-identify as left-wing. John Snow recalled her rustling tights, a particularly fetishistic response; all and sundry have quote Francois Mitterand's remark that she had the mouth of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula; Ian McEwan trotted out some Christopher Hitchens anecdote, which is all the McEwan crowd are good for these days.
There's a stand-out source to turn to for the good juice on Thatcher's powerful sexual allure: as Iain Sinclair remarked in interview to Tim Chapman, "When in doubt, quote Ballard."
'What I Believe', first published in French in Science Fiction #1 in January 1984 (French readers, famously, got Crash-era Ballard rather more readily than we Brits), and later republished in Interzone that summer, places her firmly in the Ballard pantheon, posing her in various frames and snapshots, as if a character in The Atrocity Exhibition:
I believe in the mysterious beauty of Margaret Thatcher, in the arch of her nostrils and the sheen on her lower lip; in the melancholy of wounded Argentine conscripts; in the haunted smiles of filling station personnel, in my dream of Margaret Thatcher caressed by that young Argentine soldier in a forgotten motel, watched by a tubercular filling station attendant.
(If you're unsure about the confusion the sexuality of Thatcher causes among younger readers, check out this piece on Dazed Digital that reads 'What I Believe' as tongue-in-cheek and lists it as an 'anti-Thatcher moment')
Ballard has been asked to expand on this in interview a number of times. Survival Research's Mark Pauline procured a particularly rich response in 1986:
JGB: I've always admired her enormously. I always found her extremely mysterious and attractive at the same time. I think she exerts a powerful sexual spell, and I'm not alone. I think there are a lot of men who find themselves driven to distraction by the mystery of Margaret Thatcher. She's remarkable. I think she taps all sorts of extreme responses on the part of, certainly, men in the population at large.
MP: How do you think she fits in with the whole English historical tendency to have female rulers?
JGB: I think she exemplifies that. She taps very deep levels of response. There are elements of La Belle Dame Sans Merci–the merciless muse, in her. Also the archetype of the–
MP: Medusa.
JGB: Yes, the Medusa. She taps a large number of deep responses which people express in present-day terms. She's the nanny, she's the headmistress, and she's school-marmy as well. I think her appeal goes far beyond . . . it's a very ambiguous appeal. She represents all these sort of half-stages–half-conscious, primordial forces . . . that she certainly tapped.
As ever, Ballard is an expert analyst of the cultural condition. He is listening carefully to what the analysand has to say, and what's coming through is that they want to be fucked by Thatcher.
The excellent Extreme Metaphors interviews book, edited by Simon Sellars and Dan O'Hara, reveals the extent of Ballard's infatuation/interest and its maturation (go straight to the index, something we might have picked up from Jim himself). Thatcher is discussed on several pages from the 80s through to his final years (Ballard's a fan of cruise missiles, a proponent of the Falklands action, and a supporter of her economic policies – this, despite being anti-monarchist, anti-Lords, anti-public school. Libertarians would like to claim him, but we might be more secure identifying him as a denier of political binaries. Certainly, he's more interested in how politics works in the psychological register than in the ideological.)
For those whose livelihoods and communities were devastated by her political decisions, she might be the embodiment of evil, a single individual on whom to heap blame for destruction. If we join Ballard and analyse from a different perspective we might note that she embodied something that has remained more culturally potent than ideology: the adman's understanding of the libidinal forces that really drive us. She had a domineering sexual hook. She fucked us and a great number of us asked her to do it again. And again.
Her most quoted phrase – her epitaph – is a piece of sexual advice, a coital warning. This lady's not for turning. Quite. You'll have to look into those eyes if you want congress. There'll be no beast of two backs with Thatcher. In fact, perhaps you should be the one to turn.

Pros: all rooms and public areas fresh, modern and clean; great rooftop swimming pool and gym area; amazingly central location; super-helpful staff; decent buffet breakfast.
(Minor) Cons: it's a modern 'business'/tourist hotel, so if you're after something very traditional/local it's probably not the place for you; some people (and the Lonely Planet) note that it can be a little noisy as a result of its central location - possibly an issue if you are a very light sleeper, although neither of the rooms we stayed in (including a 1st floor street view room) really felt very noisy at all....
Summary: a great choice for a clean, friendly, central hotel while staying in HCMC; on our second visit, the reception staff were kind enough to let us check in at 10am and upgrade us to a suite for free - really made a big difference after our early morning flight, and typical of how the staff generally went out of their way to be helpful to us during our stay. Would recommend this place.
Local tip - the street restaurant that sets up along the side of the market round the corner (out the hotel door, turn right, and right again at the first corner then 50 yards up on your left) is well worth visiting. It doesn't look like all that much, but was so good we had to go there twice during our stay - really fresh, tasty, authentic food - some of the best meals we had in Vietnam (and that's saying something!).

Richfield trustees continue discussion of Crowell Hilaka
A joint park district between Richfield Township and Richfield Village moved a step closer to fruition during a special Richfield Board of Trustees meeting May 22.
The trustees introduced a resolution to join the park district, which would investigate the possibility of purchasing Crowell Hilaka, a 336-acre former Girl Scout camp located between Broadview Road and state Route 303, and how to fund the purchase.
"If I had $4 million, I'd buy it," Trustee Bob Luther remarked.
Richfield Village Council has introduced similar legislation, and both governments could pass the resolutions in the first week of June.
The governments have been talking with the Western Reserve Land Conservancy (WRLC) and the Friends of Crowell Hilaka, whose president, Corey Ringle, attended the meeting. According to the Friends of Crowell Hilaka website, the group is currently working with the WRLC to create partnerships, raise awareness and take pledges for preservation of the property, once the estate of inventor Jim Kirby. This property includes miles of trails, historical structures and scenery, and the vision of the Friends of Crowell Hilaka is to preserve this land and open it to the public as a recreational and educational destination, according to the website.
Luther said he would like to see the land developed.
"We have 10,000 acres in the township, and 3,000 is park land already," he said. "I'm looking to get some of the tax base back. But first, someone has to buy it."
He noted that while Crowell Hilaka has hosted as many as 21 Girl Scout camps in the past, that number has dwindled to three.
Ringle said the WRLC has submitted the highest bid so far for the property. It would preserve the property with the intention of it going to an "end user," she explained.
Trustee Jeff Shupe said the township has a lot of other financial priorities, including a new administration building and upcoming police and fire contracts.
"Your heartstrings get pulled because it's been here for 1,000 years, but we're not in the real estate business," he said.
Ringle said the cost of purchasing the property could be reduced through a Clean Ohio grant.
"Funding is out there that could give us a good discount," she said.
Trustee Janet Jankura said the residents of Richfield would ultimately decide on whether the joint recreation district would purchase the property.
"When we approve something like this resolution, we are only committing to forming the board," she said.
The trustees also approved a bid from Empire Paving to repair the parking lot at Rising Valley Park.
Road Foreman Jerry Schall said that "winter has taken its toll" on the parking lot.
Luther added the problem of garbage trucks coming into the lot has been solved through smaller trash containers and "no trucks" signs.
Park Administrator Chris Eastwood said he caught a concrete truck going through the park, but the driver told him that Google Maps sent him there.
"They think that's a road," Eastwood said. "He was apologetic. I told him to spread the word."
The cost of the work is $31,150 and will come from the Hershel Hunt Capital Improvement Fund.
Trustees agreed to have an ordinance drafted that would protect the parking lot with a ban on through traffic and a 10 mph speed limit.
Also during the meeting:
- Jankura revived last year's discussion of a dog park, and she suggested the township test the idea with a special day for dogs that would include a "pop-up" dog park.
- Trustees agreed to renew their insurance policies for another year. Wichert Insurance will cover the township's property, equipment, vehicle and public liability insurance for $16,149.
- Trustees approved the hiring of Court Reporters Inc. to transcribe a six-hour Board of Zoning Appeals hearing in connection with a lawsuit filed against the township by Club Motor Plex. The cost is approximately $1,800, and the trustees approved the expense of no more than $3,000.
"Other communities have done this, and the cost was in the $1,500 to $2,000 range," Jankura said.
- Trustees approved the expense of $25,500 to Cardinal Asphalt for repairs to Hawkins Road. This replaces the previous plan to repair the lower half of the road this year.
"We're going to apply for a grant to fix the whole thing," Luther said.
- Trustees welcomed new Township Administrator Mindy Remec, who has taken over for the retired Linda Bowmer.
"She's been working with us for almost two weeks, and we're delighted that she's with us," Jankura said.
The next meeting of the Richfield trustees is scheduled for June 5 at 10 a.m. at the township offices, located behind the fire station on West Streetsboro Road.

Dividing audiences at the Tribeca Film Festival when it premiered earlier this year, Tony Kaye's education world drama "Detachment" promises to leave you with a strong opinion no matter which side you're on. And this new international trailer for the film is definitely the most compelling yet.
The film finds Adrien Brody playing Henry Barthe, a substitute teacher whose relationships with three women change his cynical outlook on his profession. This latest glimpse, like every other tease we've seen of the film so far, is a mixed bag with some earnest scenes not playing very well (the "you don't have to be angry with me" scene is pretty over-the-top) mixed with some genuinely charged emotions and some attractive camerawork by Kaye. A rundown public school has never been filmed with more energy, which is a nice contrast to how they are usually portrayed in films of this sort. And OH SHIT CLAY DAVIS FROM THE WIRE IS IN THIS . Sorry, Isiah Whitlock Jr. always gets us a bit excited and he's joined by Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu, James Caan, Marcia Gay Harden, Blythe Danner, Tim Blake Nelson, William Petersen and Bryan Cranston in supporting roles.
While there is no exact release date just yet, this one is coming soon from Tribeca Films with a VOD/theatrical rollout planned. Get a taste of what's to come below.
Evangelos | December 23, 2011 9:19 PM
Bravo. Compelling story and having been a substitute teacher; a must see.
jingmei | December 22, 2011 8:31 PM
This is a film seems amazingly touchable, supposed to be another one of my favorites besides Young Adult, with Adrien Brody's impressive performance shares another same common sense with me "you always look unhappy"(told by one his student). Also Tony Kaye seems another awesome inspiring outcaster artist.
nadia | December 22, 2011 6:59 PM
Can't wait to see it, finally something good for Adrien Brody.

In the 1930s, filmmaker Dudley Murphy offered an exiled David Alfaro Siqueiros sanctuary in Hollywood, and in return Murphy received a hand-painted fresco for his Pacific Palisades backyard. Alfredo Ramos Martinez, director of Mexico's National Academy of Fine Arts in the 1920s, painted murals and commissions for screenwriter Jo Swerling, costume designer Edith Head and actress Beulah Bondi.
"Martinez's daughter had a spinal problem," says Nathan Zakheim, a leading restoration expert. "He went around to different doctors in Beverly Hills, often painting frescoes in their homes in exchange for medical treatments," says Zakheim, who relocated one piece from a home on Rodeo Drive not long ago.
"They're fairly rare," Leslie Rainer, senior project specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute, says of such pieces. "But they're also very, very important, especially some of the great murals of the 1930s by the Mexican muralists, who were essential to the entire movement."
THESE days, the rise in commissioned artworks includes major artists as well as established names. Until his death this year, New York-based Sol LeWitt was perhaps the best-known artist to work with walls, ceilings and floors. He would come up with a design for a home — about 1,200 during his career — and then allow the collector, with the help of LeWitt's minions, to apply ink, pencil or tempera directly to the wall.
LeWitt's work remains in the upper echelon of home commissions; two of his conceptual pieces recently sold at auction for about $150,000. But collectors have other options. Young contemporary artists Barry McGee and Trenton Doyle Hancock have been known to add graffiti-style flourishes such as cartoon imagery and text to their residential commissions. San Francisco-based Waterston prefers to work in a more somber mode with organic shapes awash in a netherworld of bubbles, branches and sunrays created on canvas off-site, then installed on walls.
Interior designer Molly Luetkemeyer commissioned Jeff Robinson to paint a flowering quince tree, whose distinctly mod form climbs from the living room wall onto the ceiling of her former L.A. apartment, now occupied by Kate Schintzis, a designer in Luetkemeyer's studio.
"I love them," says Luetkemeyer, who also has hired Michaela Daly and Karen Sikie to punctuate rooms with site-specific artworks. "They're incredibly energizing. You can add this one, beautiful, dramatic gesture which completely activates the space, and it allows you to keep everything else fairly neutral."
New York-based artist Nancy Lorenz, on the other hand, tends to create not just a single gesture but rather huge spans of color, which she augments with delicate brush strokes, gold leaf and mother of pearl. The Beverly Hilton hotel owns a 60-foot wall piece by Lorenz. Cindy Crawford, producer Joe Roth and former Bond girl Lois Chiles are also clients.
"I really love the scale," says Lorenz, who often works with interior designer Michael Smith. "I love the sensation of walking along a really large painting."
Lorenz and figurative painter Matthew Benedict were commissioned to bring a dash of Hollywood opulence to the Laurel Canyon home of interior designer William Sofield, who oversees the look of Gucci's retail spaces worldwide. The result is a stately abode filled with Lorenz's gestural, mother-of-pearl wall pieces in the living and dining areas, as well as Benedict's evocative images of vintage Americana on various doors and hallways.
The house once belonged to Douglas Fairbanks and served as the location for United Artists' inception, Sofield says. "We deliberately set out to evoke that era without trying to copy it," he says. "So I feel that the artwork is very much a part of the house."
That enthusiasm is echoed by the likes of restoration expert Zakheim.
"There's something about being in the presence of something that is not only the result of extraordinary craftsmanship, but the result of something that takes a long time to do," Zakheim says. "Because it gives you something back when you are in its presence. You're looking at something that is full."
And for homeowners like Midler, the effect goes beyond decoration to the essence of home.
"I love it and can't imagine ever selling it because it is such a personal expression," the entertainer says of her Beverly Hills house, which is filled with Kintisch's wall paintings.
"She is a fine artist doing home decorating, and the results are not just beautiful but wonderful to live with. Her walls glow, and people are always happy to be in those rooms. Call me crazy, but that's the truth."
What makes a fresco
"Fresco" refers to the technique of applying pigment to wet plaster. "The depth of the pigment gives it an extraordinarily luminous quality," conservator Nathan Zakheim says. Frescoes tend to last longer and retain their vibrancy better than some other techniques, but they can be expensive — upward of $25,000 for a small wall. They also can take months to complete, finished bit by precious bit. The technique is employed by California artists such as Ian Hardwick, iLia Anossov and Kelly Holden. "It's historical art that didn't exist in this country," says Holden, who studied classic methods in Italy. "People find it intriguing because it's so old and there's beautiful history behind it." Here, a brief look at Holden's process:
