DIGITAL FOLKLORE - To computer users, with love and respect, edited by Olia Lialina & Dragan Espenschied. Brilliantly designed by Manuel Bürger. Published by Merz & Solitude and available on amazon UK, DE and FR*.
Technical innovations shape only a small part of computer and network culture. It doesn't matter much who invented the microprocessor, the mouse, TCP/IP or the World Wide Web; nor does it matter what ideas were behind these inventions. What matters is who uses them. Only when users start to express themselves with these technical innovations do they truly become relevant to culture at large.
Users' endeavors, like glittering star backgrounds, photos of cute kittens and rainbow gradients, are mostly derided as kitsch or in the most extreme cases, postulated as the end of culture itself. In fact this evolving vernacular, created by users for users, is the most important, beautiful and misunderstood language of new media.
As the first book of its kind, this reader contains essays and projects investigating many different facets of Digital Folklore: online amateur culture, DIY electronics, dirtstyle, typo-nihilism, memes, teapots, penis enlargement ...
Something both good and absolutely irritating happened while i was reading the book. I usually jot down tons notes on bits of paper while reading a book i have to review. This time however, i was so engrossed and entertained, i have only two lines on the notebook. I wasn't expecting that, i thought the book was for real geeks, not Sunday web drivers like me.
Digital Folklore fills a gap in the computer and network culture you'd never know existed if you attend only big tech or web design conferences. Subcultures peopled by lolcats, memes and unsightly fonts are conspicuously absent from these polished gatherings, but that doesn't mean that they are less relevant to computer culture than what you see in the PowerPoint of usability strategists, information designers and other web gurus.
Almost everything i abhor and love about the internet is in this book. I was hoping not to face again those dreadful Blingee cards that many of my french-speaking contacts from Belgium were so keen on inflicting upon me during the Holiday season but the damn Glitter Graphics are indeed featured in the book. My eyes closed themselves at the mere mention of the Blingee but other than that, i learnt so many things that i'm sure i'm a bit closer to satisfying the authors who, while writing the book, were guided by the moto: "You can and must understand computer culture NOW"! I wish my education had always involved so much fun.
The first part of the book is made of essays, articles and observations by Espenschied and Lialina. Computer culture has evolved and been submitted to guidelines and 'best practice' since they started the authors activity of web users and creators in the mid-90s. As they told Marie Lechner in an interview for Libération: "The excitement raised by the Web as a new medium has disappeared. Nowadays every single interest has its own, perfectly-organised online space, communication has become very standardized. The Web is regarded as a tool also by amateurs. The idea of a homepage supposed to communicate from a bright future is regarded as a silly romanticism."
Then come four essays by former Merz-Akademie students about online phenomena.
The last section presents projects of New Media and Interface Design students at Merz Akademie.
Here's one of my favourite, Bootyclipse. Dennis Knopf's YouTube channel archives and loops the few seconds that precedes the arrival in the frame of a girl who is going to shake her booty in front of a camera. Don't pay attention to what youtube writes, This video is suitable for minors.
I found the design of the book particularly appropriate, smart and playful. The objective of the designer Manuel Bürger was, as he wrote himself, to create a real amateur spirit - though you can feel that there's a "proper" design approach which makes everything practical and clear.

Previous post on this panel: Positions in Flux - Panel 1: Art goes politics - Hans Bernhard from UBERMORGEN.COM
Art goes politics, the first panel of Positions in Flux, discussed how/whether media art has the potential to contribute to global and local problems such as religious and territorial conflicts, environmental or social crisis.
One of the three artists invited to participate to the discussion is Wafaa Bilal. Born in Iraq, Bilal gained worldwide fame in 2007 with his performance Domestic Tension (aka. Shoot an Iraqi) which enabled web users around the world to control a paintball gun and shoot at him 24 hours a day. For a whole month. His works are being exhibited and discussed internationally and he is currently Assistant Arts Professor at Tisch School of Arts, NYU.
The artist presentation was articulated around his artworks:
Domestic Tension
How can artists today make images mean something, stimulate people and provoke them? Problems that political art face: disengagement of the issue and tendency of some artists to express the issues at stake through aesthetic pain rather than aesthetic pleasure. Bilal grew up in an oppressed society and didn't have the leisure to meditate on aesthetic alone. He therefore works with both aesthetic pain and aesthetic pleasure.
On May 4, 2007, Bilal set up his living and working quarters in a Chicago art gallery to perform Domestic Tension - Shoot an Iraqi. The project was a way for him to deal with the grief over the death of his brother in his hometown back in 2004. Bilal realized that he lives a comfortable life in the USA while his family is still in Iraq. Americans have been relatively shielded of the pain and suffering people experience in Iraq in their name. What kind of ethical consequence would seeing the consequences of war trigger? Would it humanize the issue? How can an artist go beyond a mere street protest (which alienates people most of the time anyway)?
Bilal found out that internet enables an artist to enter the safety zone of people's house whether they like it or not. Domestic Tension ended up exposing more complex issues than the artist had imagined at first. It was also a bigger success than he had hoped for. By the end of the one month performance in the gallery, the Domestic Tension website had received 80 million hits. The results of the work were both healing and disturbing for him. Some took control of the paintball gun in a very aggressive way, hacking the system so that the gun would shoot non-stop but by day 21, Bilal noticed that the gun was going right and left, not aiming at him. It turned out that a group of 39 people had united force to prevent people from shooting at the artist. They called themselves 'the virtual human shield.'
On day 14 of Domestic Tension, a link to the project was posted on Digg.com and Bilal was bombarded non stop, he couldn't fill the paintball fast enough to keep up with the demand.
The themes Domestic Tension explored:
Domestic Tension embedded the horror in the experience and allowed webusers to participate. People invested their own narrative and integrated the one of the artist.
After Domestic Tension
In 2008, while he was in residence at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Wafaa created Dog or Iraqi, asking people to vote who -- a dog named "Buddy," or an Iraqi, himself -- would be submitted to waterboarding, a form of torture that consists in immobilizing the victim and pouring water into the breathing passages to have them experience drowning. PETA obviously went mad about the idea that a dog would be harmed in the project, they were quite undisturbed by the fate of the Iraqi. Bilal lost to the dog and was submitted to waterboarding.
The next project was Night of Bush Capturing: Virtual Jihadi, a modified version of the first person shooter video game Quest for Bush, itself a "hacked" version of the commercial video game Quest for Saddam. In Bilal's version the artist inserted his personal narrative by casting himself as a suicide bomber who gets sent on a mission to assassinate President George W. Bush. He was intrigued by the idea that a terrorist organization had released a free game to recruit people. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute had to cancel the show after governmental pressures. At the time, the College Republicans called the RPI's Arts department "a safe haven for terrorists" on their blog. A second exhibition of the project had to be shut down due to the fact that the gallery didn't comply with some regulation about the size of its doors.
The objectives of the game were many:
For Bilal, new media art and interactivity presuppose the active involvement of a public whose function was once limited to viewing only. If the audience takes an interest in the work, they are more likely to engage in a dialogue that might, in the best cases, be revolutionary.
I would, once again, like to recommend Waffa Bilal's book Shoot An Iraqi, Art, Life and Resistance Under the Gun to get to know more about his experience and art work. Previously: A few words with Wafaa Bilal and When interactive art becomes bored with you.
The first panel of Positions in Flux, a symposium organized by the Netherlands Institute of Media Art in Amsterdam last Saturday, was Art goes politics. The presentations and following discussion explored the artistic practices that turn their back on the assumption that art is something purely aesthetic, distant and contemplative. Instead, art can bite and get people involved in political, social or ethical issues: Does art have the potential to contribute to global and local problems such as religious conflicts, environmental or social crisis? Or is art constrained to raising awareness only? Should art become an agency for political and social affairs at all? How to successfully implement and conduct art projects in zones of crisis? How far do these projects benefit from the dubious attention of the mass media?
Some artists choose to stay outside conflict zones and reflect on the issues at stake, others step right inside the fight and either try to come up with possible solutions or subvert dominant systems.
The three speakers of the panel were Wafaa Bilal, Hans Bernhard from UBERMORGEN.COM and Christian Huebler from Knowbotic Research. It was fascinating to see that there's no such thing as 'just activism'. Each of them had a different view on the role and meaning of artists' involvement in burning issues.
I took notes from Hans Bernhard's talk but because i found his statement truly thought-provoking, i begged him to get his text. He was kind enough to upload it online. One of the points that i find most striking in his talk is when Bernhard explains that UBERMORGEN.COM are not, as most of us would lazily assume, activists but rather actionists in the Viennese Actionism tradition. Just go and read the manifesto, it speaks of their view on all sorts of media outlets, the real life (e.g. legal) impact and side-products of their online actions, and the group's lack of political agenda. But most of all, even if it is not written by self-declared activists, the text has nevertheless a deep relevance on the Art Goes Politics front.
If you're interested in going beyond the manifesto, i would recommend two recent books dedicated to the Austrian duo. The first one is UM.BOOK, UBERMORGEN.COM - MEDIA HACKING VS. CONCEPTUAL ART by HANS BERNHARD and LIZVLX (no worries, the text is all in english), a book compiling texts by critics, curators and artists and celebrating the 10th anniversary of UBERMORGEN.COM. The other book is UBERMORGEN.COM which provides an overview of work and features contributions by the art critics Inke Arns and Domenico Quaranta and the net.art duo Jodi.org.

Positions in flux: On the changing role of the artist and institution in the networked society (intro)
The Netherlands Media Art Institute has re-located part of its brain power to Trouw Amsterdam for the symposium Positions in flux: On the changing role of the artist and institution in the networked society. The symposium is part of the Here we are - There we go programme which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Netherlands Media Art Institute (NIMK). The institute opened its doors during the weekend and visitors could experience some of the artworks the NIMK has been supporting over the past three decades.
One of them, Adad Hannah & Niklas Roy's International Dance Party, made me laugh out loud for its way to bring interactivity to its more extreme and absurd. This 'party in a box' looks like an ordinary and closed 'flightcase' until you get nearer and start moving. The more you jump around and dance, the more the system will deliver: powerful dance music, laser and light effects and even (but i didn't dance wild enough to experience it) fog.
The symposium focused on three of the most relevant topics of current media art practice: the relevance and involvement of new media art on the political and social sphere; new geographies in media art; the possibilities and challenges that the open source movement is proposing to the production of artworks or exhibitions.
Given my total and shameful laziness i probably won't have/take the time to blog everything but the Netherlands Media Art Institute will upload the videos of the talks online in the future and i'll be sure to update this blog post when this happens.
Susanne Jaschko, who curated and organized the conference, made a couple of very timely and interesting remarks in her introduction to the symposium. And that's where i'll start:
There are some traces of an acceptance of new media art from the institutional art world. Last year, two exhibitions have highlighted this tendency: Deep Screen - Art in Digital Culture at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, a show organized with a double objective: getting a sample of contemporary media artists living in The Netherlands and buying some artworks to be added in the permanent collection. The second exhibition, Holy Fire at iMAL in Brussels, had the so far very unusual purpose to explore how new media art, bypassing all the stereotypes connected with its presumed immateriality and difficulties of maintenance, was able to enter the art market.
Media art has come a long way since the NIMK opened. Which does not mean that the self-conception of the whole field is not as cloudy as ever: some say that new media art has never become mature, others believe that it has reached its peak in the '90s, others would add that new media art will never integrate concepts of contemporary art, etc. Not only is the Netherlands Media Art Institute celebrating its 30th anniversary, but Transmediale has just turned 20 and Ars Electronica is going to be 30 this year, it's time to take a critical look at where we are now and which directions we want to take.
There was a time when cultural funding bodies set the course but things started to take another turn when, in 2003, the Walker Art Center decided to reduce its media art programme to a minimum and last year the whole media art community was shocked by the news that the Institute of Contemporary Art in London was closing its performance and new media program. Artistic Director Ekow Eshun justified the decision as follows:
As an institution dedicated to the contemporary moment it is important that we continually review the timeliness and relevance of our activities and at times make decisions on that basis.
New media based arts practice continues to have its place within the arts sector. However it's my consideration that, in the main, the art form lacks the depth and cultural urgency to justify the ICA's continued and significant investment in a Live & Media Arts department. Following discussion with the ICA Council and the Arts Council - and agreement from both bodies - I have decided to close the department.
At the other end of the spectrum, LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Centre, which opened in 2007, has proved over and again that it is possible to fill its gigantic white space with new media art exhibitions of great quality. And, once again, the exhibition Deep Screen at the Stedelijk has shown that some contemporary art institutions see the relevance of new media art.
So what does it mean today to be an artist in a networked society? Artists, curators and institutions today work on grounds that are increasingly loose, they struggle to define themselves. Technology -though it has lost much of its fascination- has the potential to enrich art, culture and society. It is one of the driving forces of today's society and culture, it has brought important discussions about public domain, commitment, open source, etc.
More about the symposium soon...
It might come as a surprise to some of you but it's not everyday that a major contemporary art institution in Europe dedicates some space and energy to look into one of the most prominent characteristics of today's culture: the social web. The National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens is doing just that with an exhibition bearing one of the most evocative and imaginative titles i've ever read: Tag ties & affective spies. The online works selected for the show comment on the aspects of the web 2.0 and evoke more particularly the controversies that have animated its short but intense life.
Exploring the functioning modes of the social networks and the ways users interact within them, a new form of artistic practice is being formed that comments, critisizes and subverts their structures by altering their semiology and formalism. Posing questions, and approaching the social media in a playful way, the works presented aim to raise awareness about the different possibilities that are now opened up to the users.
The brain behind the concept and curating of Tag ties & affective spies is Daphne Dragona (who co-curated Homo Ludens Ludens at LABoral in Gijon a year ago.)
Daphne is an Athens-based media arts curator and organiser. The exhibitions and events she's been involved in over the last few years have focused on the notion of play and its merging with art as a form of networking and resistance. She is a also PhD candidate in the Faculty of Mass Media & Communication of the University in Athens conducting a research on social media. I asked her to give us more details about the why and how of the exhibition.
Tag ties and affective spies is part of a series of online exhibitions featuring works conceived for the Web. Does the exhibition appear only online or is there an installation or anything else inside the actual museum that points to its existence? Would it make sense to you to mirror this exhibition in 'real' space like it is done sometimes with online exhibitions?
Tag ties & affective spies is presented online in the museum's media lounge area, where computers are available for visitors to explore the works.
We have not created a specially built environment or installation particularly for this exhibition. Really, there wasn't need for an additional structure. The natural environment of these works is the internet, wherever this is : at the computers in the users' homes or offices, at their mobile phones or at the computer screens provided in public spaces - such as those in the museum.
But, yes I do believe that it is very important for museums to mirror online exhibitions in the real space so that net based art can be further supported. Visitors might not spend hours to view all works. In reality, they usually have a glimpse of the exhibition and then they visit it again at their own places and leisure. But museums need to support the opportunity for this first acquaintance in order to spread the information. Also, let us not forget that visitors mostly go in a contemporary art museum, to see contemporary art works. Most of them would not look at net based art on their own because they are not accustomed with this form of creativity. An institution though, can help to attract their attention towards a new direction.
In reality, net based art cannot become institutionalized. This is its charm but also its handicap because it cannot support itself easily. Net based art is about works that usually cannot be sold and consequently cannot offer money to their creators. It is about works that bring different kinds of challenges to institutions.
Projects based on social media bring into mind the issues net art was facing back in the nineties. Issues to do with what can be bought, what can be preserved and what can be owned. Instead of bringing to light these discussions again I think, we should look for ways to support these forms of art, to assist in conveying their messages and making them known to a wider public. Therefore, mounting an exhibition like the "tag ties & affective spies" in an institution is meaningful to me.
The exhibition is a critical approach on the social media of our times. Could you tell us how you got the idea for this show? What motivated its existence?
Well, I find that it is a field with an amazing interest as it is also controversial; both full of promises and restrictions; a genuine product of our times based on connectivity, affection, and surveillance. I think, what intrigues me most is the fact that most people share, communicate, and participate without realizing the story behind or without thinking about how this constant aggregation of information from their profiles works for the market. I believe creativity can play a role here as it speaks for the medium using the medium itself, a fact that I consider to be very interesting. While forms of creativity based on the social media platforms might be difficult to attract an art audience that is not technologically savvy, on the other hand, they can turn up to be of an interest for a wider audience that might not be art savvy but partly lives in this virtual dimension.
Speaking from a more personal point of view, this exhibition also expresses my need to share the first bit of knowledge I have gained from my PhD, which I have just started on social media and art. I wanted to see how the audience would react to such an entity of works, how the press would respond, and how local artists would experience it. I looks it is going well so far... Greece is not an easy country. My experience, during the last decade, tells me that things are moving slowly in the field of media arts. Budget is usually tight and the audience is usually reserved. Some of the media art festivals happening in the country in the past have now ceased to exist. It is somewhat difficult to take big risks. But, organising events of a smaller scale, like an online exhibition, that thematically refer to contexts and issues the people are familiar with, could be a safer path and a transitional stage for a wider opening to the media arts.
Did it change anything in the way of curating the exhibition to know that the exhibition was organized by one of the major art institutions in the country? This probably implied that the exhibition would receive a different, maybe broader exposure. Did you approach the subject differently than you would have done if you had worked again for a more media art-oriented institution like, say, LABoral?
No it did not. I did not modify or alter any of my ideas because the exhibition was organised by a museum. I must say that the museum was very positive and did not have any hesitations regarding the concept and the selection. So, all went very smoothly. Context and content would have been the same even if I was to do this privately somehow. I was thinking anyway of an exhibition that would be viewed, hopefully, not only by people from athens but by internet users from different parts of world. There is no locality on the web. What locally exists, is the support of institutions to net based projects as well as their presentation to new audiences. For instance, now, the exhibition will also be presented in the context of the Enter festival in Prague. This support can attract attention, bring discussions and open new roads for collaboration among art and other disciplines.
A comparison with the work in LABoral is difficult because the exhibitions were very different from one another. But, as institutions they are not that different. LABoral is more media art oriented but it does have a strong interest also towards contemporary art. Additionally, every institution does have particularities that connect to the structures of the country it belongs. In general, I think it is the feeling of trust and mutual appreciation that is essential for collaborations between artists, curators and institutions. When there is such ground, fruitful collaborations do happen.
Having a look at your selection of artworks i had the feeling that it provides a good snapshot of the current issues and debates that surrounds social media. The title itself reflects quite accurately and poetically the appealing and appalling aspects of contemporary social media. Do you feel that the general trend is heading towards more "surveillance and exploitation" or is the big picture much more optimistic? Which trend(s) does the now ueber-popular Twitter embodies best for example? subjectivity - collectivity - production - consumption - exposure - surveillance - affection - exploitation - participation - resistance...all of them at the same time?
I think that the moment web 2.0 embodies all these notions. Each platform might have some features stronger than others depending on the possibilities it offers. Twitter is a lot about announcing feelings and moments. Exposure, affection, and a kind of surveillance are definitely involved. I don't like to be negative for the future. I hope that we are not going towards a model that involves more surveillance and exploitation. I believe that as the "mainstream" social media evolve, so do the creative and critical stances. The great number of people using the social media will soon bring a new situation on stage. More and more social platforms should soon appear that would allow groups of people to connect and form networks for different purposes based on open source models and these do not need to be controlled or be accessible by the market. Connectivity is an incredible feature of our times - we don't need to get lost on the way.
Thanks Daphne!
Last weekend, I had the chance to check out the current exhibition called Ik R.I.P. at Mediamatic Amsterdam, which has recently relocated to a very central spot in a former bank on Vijzelstraat, escalators and all. Like the two previous 'Ik'-shows, this one revolves around the idea of self-representation on the internet, but this time it's all about death.
"...not a happy topic, but it is important nonetheless. Besides arranging your funeral, obtaining a life insurance and drafting your will it can be useful to think about what you leave behind in the online world. You may have a profile on Mediamatic.net and other networks, perhaps you write a blog or chat with people who live on the other side of the world. What happens to all those affairs if you suddenly pass away?"
Tackling these issues are a range of artists, most prominently in the space The Travelers by Elisabeth Heyert. A series of portraits "taken after death in Harlem New York. Photographed against a black background, using the techniques of making formal portraits of the living, these photographs explore what qualities make us seem human before and after death."
Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn aka Tale of Tales are showing a game called The Graveyard in the darkened basement, in which the player walks an old lady through a cemetery and eventually sits her down on a bench to access a Dutch song, which is actually a quite sad experience. They describe 'The Graveyard' not as a game as such, "but as an interactive painting". I'd say it clearly is a game, but one which hits a somber note that is fairly hard to achieve in this medium.
Upstairs, in a brightly lit small room there's a wonderful selection of incredible Ghanaian coffins, one of which has been custom-crafted by a gentleman called Eric Adotey Naah after a sketch of Mediamatic graphic designer Anuschka Linse's "ideal coffin" and then shipped to Amsterdam. It's quite an incredible and well-documented story and the coffin looks like a crazy bear.
Further projects include a coffin where you can test-die and have your picture taken using their ever-evolving RFID projects, coffin-making workshops and more.
On March 12th eBoy will lecture about their Mission Eternity and on the 13th they will host a Digital Stowaway Workshop which will "ensure that your digital remains will be safely stored for eternity."
Ik R.I.P. runs through April 12th.

FORT WORTH — The Fort Worth City Council approved a $1.4 billion citywide budget today that maintained most services and kept the property tax rate the same, but cut funding for the arts and social services.The council also voted down a proposed water rate increase, but left in place a hike in stormwater rates.It ditched the controversial $5 flat fee for parking at the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and installed a new variable rate structure that starts with 45 minutes free and tops out at $10 for 4 hours.The council voted 8-1 for the budget, with Councilman Joel Burns voting against. The city's property tax rate remains 85.5 cents per $100 of valuation. The budget shifts a penny of that to debt service from operations for the second year in a row, increasing the city's debt capacity to pay for infrastructure and the new public safety center.Councilman Sal Espino lobbied the council for removing arts funding from the $583 million basic-service general fund, and find a dedicated revenue stream for it, such as the hotel tax.Mayor Betsy Price and the council, without a vote, supported the idea of a midyear budget review to determine whether there are enough savings in the city's Culture & Tourism Fund -- funded by the hotel occupancy tax -- to allocate to the Arts Council.The council also supported, again without a vote, the idea of setting up a task force and coming up with ideas for dedicated revenue streams for funding of the arts, the city's Directions Home homelessness program, Fort Worth Sister Cities, and street repairs."You simply must be removed from that basic general fund," Price said in remarks just before the council vote.The approved $583 million general fund budget created more room for capital investment in infrastructure and police and fire needs, and closed a $49 million funding gap largely by using surplus funds from 2012.Besides the Arts Council cut, the council trimmed spending for the United Way of Tarrant County, minority chambers of commerce, and city partnerships for the homeless and gang intervention.It gives no employee pay raises, increases employee health insurance contributions 8 percent, freezes 17 job openings and contains minimal potential layoffs. The city is reclassifying about 20 library jobs and is working on moving displaced employees into other positions.The budget, 4 percent higher than this year's, helps fund the new police and fire training center and upgrades the public safety radio communications system, and brings on a new fire training class while adding to the victim assistance and animal shelter staffs.It also includes maintenance and operations for the Forest Park and Marine Creek pools and the conversion of the Z Boaz Golf Course to a park, and staffs the soon-to-open Chisholm Trail community center in southwest Fort Worth.Significant budget increases come from healthcare costs and fuel.Scott Nishimura, (817) 390-7808

Medicines are taken to help keep your symptoms under
control or to prevent or treat a heart condition.
It's important to know what you're taking, why you are taking
it, and when and how it will affect you.
When you're given a new prescription, speak to your doctor
For more detailed information about your medication, search for
it on the eMC website.
Heart medicines come in many shapes and sizes. The most common
You may find that different manufacturers use different names
and packaging for your medicines. Always check with your pharmacist
if you have questions about this.
Most medications need to be taken
regularly; however, some will need to be taken when you experience
a symptom such as angina. You should always follow your doctor's
If you've missed taking a dose, take it as
soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip
the one you missed and take the next dose at its scheduled time.
Never take a double dose.
Some medicines may cause side effects, but often these are
temporary and disappear after a short time. Not everyone
experiences side effects and you may have none at all.
Don't stop taking your prescribed medicines
even if you start feeling better as this could possibly make your
symptoms or condition worse. Your doctor may be able to adjust the
dosage or change you to a different medication to reduce any side
effects you're experiencing.
Tip: You can register for the Yellow Card Scheme and report
any side effects you experience. This scheme collects information
from health professionals and medicine users on suspected side
You should never take medicines that have changed in colour,
consistency or odour. If you have any old or left over medicines,
return them to your pharmacist who will dispose of them safely.

Tip: Never share your medicine with other
people or take medicine that's not yours. This can cause harm even
if they have the same condition as you.
Some medicines contain sodium, which is found in salt. Consuming
a large amount of salt in your diet increases your risk of having
high blood pressure and therefore cardiovascular disease.
Check with your doctor before taking any over-the-counter
medicine, herbal medicines and supplements. St John's Wort, a

of medicines prescribed for heart conditions and therefore alter
their effectiveness.

After a hiatus that lasted a decade, Kelly McGillis has returned to acting. And if her trajectory this time isn't as stratospheric as her Top Gun days, that's just fine with her.
"It's like starting over because I've aged. I've changed," the actress, 56, tells Smashing Interviews magazine. "I have to reintroduce myself to people, so to speak. I don't want to try to recreate what kind of career I had before."
She adds: "I don't want to do plastic surgery. I don't want to try to look younger than what I am. I really want to do character roles."

As the investigation continues into Sunday's apparent suicide of Top Gun director Tony Scott, an unnamed source has told ABC News that the British-born filmmaker, 68, had been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer.
But Scott's family is disputing that report, says Los Angeles Coroner Chief Craig Harvey.
"According to family spokespersons, the information concerning brain cancer or an inoperable brain tumor in Mr. Scott is incorrect," he says.
So far, the coroner has not announced any findings regarding Scott's medical condition.
Scott, whose box-office hits included Top Gun, Days of Thunder and Beverly Hills Cop II, died Sunday after jumping from a bridge in Los Angeles Harbor. His body was recovered from the water four hours later.
Witnesses told authorities that at around 12:35 p.m., the filmmaker left his parked Toyota Prius on the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the city of San Pedro, scaled an 8- to 10-ft.-high fence and then leapt without hesitation.

Behka's Enquiring Minds: Father's Day Gifts [OPINION]
Father's Day was this weekend, and if your Dad is anything like mine, he's very hard to buy for.
Father's Day was this weekend, and if your Dad is anything like mine, he's very hard to buy for.
Take our survey and tell us about the goodies Dad got this Father's Day.
Tell us about Dad wanted this Father's Day in our poll!
Sometimes it's hard to find just the right gift for dad. You can only buy so many ties and tools before the 'cool' factor wears off. However, if you make dad a gift it will be something he will cherish forever
What's the best gift you've given for Mother's Day? Or, if you're a mom, what's the best gift you've ever gotten for Mother's Day?
A 10-year-old north Texas girl named Jordyn Self accidentally found her Christmas present recently, which is a collectible American Girl doll called 'Saige.' What she decided to do with it is pretty incredible for a young kid.
The too-good-to-be-true bargains that abound on Black Friday may entice people to go holiday shopping, but they may lure in even more people interested in buying gifts for themselves.
Father's Day is right around the corner, and being the procrastinator that I am, I have yet to buy a gift for ol' Pops. Not like it matters, I feel like buying your Father a gift is one of the toughest things to do. I know I'm safe with a gift card to a restaurant, but what if you really want to wow him?
Let's try to conjure up a way to make Dad smile this Father's Day! What is the best gift you can give Dad on Father's Day?

Win $1Million in DOAC Fishing Tournament
The highest paying insured fishing tournament in the world is happening in Atlantic City this weekend!
The highest paying insured fishing tournament in the world is happening in Atlantic City this weekend!
Nothing like spending a cold day out on the ice waiting for something to bite your worm.
You don't count your chickens before they hatch, and you shouldn't count your fish `til it's home safe.
If you teach a man to fish, he'll fish all the time. If you teach a shark to steal, he'll steal all the time.
Yesterday, we jokingly posted a photo and said that a fish was trying to grab Los Angeles outfielder Mike Trout's arm and pull him in.
Millville's Mike Trout, the reigning Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year, almost had his arm bitten off by a giant fish.
So you've hooked the big one - a 600-pound black marlin. You're trying to reel him in, when he decides to help!
Sometimes bringing the fish into the boat is the hardest part.
A total of 80 advocacy groups are against the National Ocean Policy, which they say can harm the fishing industry.

Democratic senator introduces fire-safe cigarette bill
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A bill in the Legislature would require cigarettes sold in Wisconsin would have to be the type that automatically extinguish when they're not being smoked.
Wisconsin would join 22 other states in requiring that only fire-safe cigarettes be sold should the bipartisan bill introduced Thursday pass.
Democratic Sen. Judy Robson of Beloit says the cigarette industry does not oppose her measure.
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the second-largest tobacco company in the U.S., plans to voluntarily switch all its cigarettes to the fire-safe kind by the end of next year.
Firefighters and emergency responders support Robson's proposal.

Tallahassee — Florida legislators finished an austere lawmaking session Friday night, claiming minor victories on noncontroversial bills in a fitting end to two months spent mired in budget gridlock.
Republican leaders closed the regular session with little to brag about. They increased the cigarette tax $1 a pack, raised scores of fees and, in the waning hours Friday, voted to increase premiums for 1 million customers of state-run Citizens Property Insurance.

Hines and HAIL acquire interest in Dublin shopping centre
Related fund data links
Hines, in a joint venture with HSBC Alternative Investments Limited (HAIL), has acquired Aviva's 72.8 per cent interest in the Liffey Valley regional shopping centre in Dublin.
The other 27.2 per cent is owned by Grosvenor Britain & Ireland, which will remain a co-owner in the property.
Hines will assume the role of asset manager. It has developed Gallerias in Houston and Dallas, Diagonal Mar in Barcelona, Outlet Village Belaya Dacha in Moscow, and most recently Hofstatt in Munich. Hines has also recently acquired retail centres around the US and Russia.
Liffey Valley is one Dublin's major shopping centres and has a total floor area of 46,500 sq m (500,000 sq ft). The centre is anchored by Marks & Spencer, Next, Dunnes Stores and Boots. In addition to the four anchors there are 63 stores, (including the newly opened Bershka and Apple re-seller iConnect) four restaurants, a 14-screen 2,500-seat cinema and a dedicated food court with fast food restaurants and cafés.
Brian Moran, managing director of Hines Ireland, says: "We look forward to working with HAIL and Grosvenor and the current and new tenants on the next stage of development of the best strategically located retail destination in the city. We believe that it is a good time to invest in major retail assets in Ireland and have a number of very exciting plans to expand and enhance this shopping destination over the coming years."
Paul Forshaw, head of real estate fund management at HAIL, says: "This is the latest transaction by HAIL's Club Programme which provides clients of HSBC with access to otherwise inaccessible high quality real estate opportunities around the world. The Liffey Valley shopping centre is a landmark asset with considerable upside potential thanks to an improving Irish commercial real estate sector, strong tenant demand and significant development opportunities."
Aviva Investors has been retained and appointed to act as transitional asset manager and was represented by DTZ. HAIL and Hines were advised by both HSBC, Dublin and Savills, London.

Wow…35 years deep. In terms of BMX brands, that's a really long time. No doubt, we've seen a lot of players come and go…
What is it that makes Haro stand the test of time? Is it the pioneers, legends, icons, and heros – whether old school or new school – that have helped shape us into who we are? Is it the gold medals, the contest wins, the brand recognition? Is it definitive products like the 1982 Freestyler that helped a generation defi ne the way they rode a bike? Possibly… But we tend to think it's something a little different; something you can't touch or feel. We believe that it's the soul of the brand that's kept us around this long. The idea that nothing is impossible, that everything can be made better, that your bike really is your best tool for self expression, and that at the heart of it all, fun is really all that matters.
Ride anywhere, ride everywhere; doesn't matter if it's on the street, at the trails, or at the park, just having fun on your bike is really the name of the game. It's what every guy on this page lives for and what each of them lives by. If that's your motto too, we simply say welcome to the family.
Everything in modern life takes inspiration from what's happened in the past. This is certainly the case at Haro. Since 1978, our bikes have been leaving big tracks on every terrain you can imagine. From the first BMX courses in California to every ramp park and metroscape from Carlsbad to Katmandu. After proving our innovations on dirt, parks and tarmac, we moved up to mountain bikes. Not surprisingly, much of the technology we pioneered in BMX has found a home on our full range of mountain bikes, city bikes and beach cruisers. Because Haro bicycles are designed by riders for riders, you'll find innovation, performance, and value in every bike we build. That's why, for three decades, Haro bikes have taken hard-core riders to victory. Even if "victory" was just a cold beer at the end of a great ride.HARO. Ride more.
Dirt. Since most of our bikes are designed to be ridden on terra firma, we've spent a fair amount of time talking about it. However, man cannot live on dirt alone. Sometimes you have to venture off the unbeaten path into more civilized territory.
There's an asphalt jungle out there just waiting to be explored. Every successful adventure starts with the right equipment. Haro's line of Asphalt bikes will get you on your way. Lightweight alloy frames are a breeze to pedal and they resist rust. High-pressure tires with a smooth tread zip over paved surfaces with ease. Seats, grips, handlebars, and stems are handpicked to ensure comfort without compromising performance.
There's an adventure waiting in your own neighborhood. And you don't even need to get dirty to experience it.

It's Friday, so we're sure you'll join us in raising a glass to Iberian beast of burden Aladdin - as of right now our official Special Projects Burro. Veteran followers of El Reg will recall that Aladdin was born back in September 2010... Aladdin and mum Susi ...and has since grown into a fine, strapping and extremely hairy …
Duties? No lo sé.
Just keep Aladdin away from any church towers.
Part of the celebration dinner... ;o)
Old jokes are the best
"So who was it who said he wanted to be hung like a donkey?"
.... he's the prime candidate for the donkey work.
SPB Uniform Dress code..
Catarina appears not to be sporting the regulation pipe (or alternative flat cap) That'll be one demerit point.
As for Aladdin.. what is Uniform for a Burro-Boffin anyway?
is too obvious isn't it?
Re: Asstronaut...
Well, LOHAN would have to be a tad bigger than I suspect, is currently planned. Could be interesting though
A donkey among asses?
> what his future role at the SPB might be...
You could always lend him to a journalist in return for lots of highly favourable reportage
I think perhaps he'd be suited to the role of a general office ass-istant.
Like everyone at El Reg...
...Aladdin's sure to make an ass of himself. Welcome to the IT crowd, amigo!
He can be like the tractor NASA used to haul the Saturn V to the launchpad, except lower budget and more environmentally friendly
Spiritual advisor
If the project needs a spiritual advisor you could make him a bishop. However I understand spanish donkeys don't like this.
Future role
Carrying the helium balloons from VAB to launch pad, of course!
(Also politically correct, no fire drawn from animal righters etc.)
you almost had it
Beast of Bourbon.
And maybe successor to James Murdoch, as he's got a longer memory and is less of an ass.
I'll have a quadruple, cos it's friday.
well, there is a precedent of sorts, you'll have to fit him with Oxygen though and is that winter coat thick enough for the altitudes he'll be going to?
Parasailing Donkeys make for great publicity... Well, maybe not great publicity, but publicity non-the-less.
Musical meme
Surely this relates to the Flying Burrito Brothers? Not that I can recall anything of their music - I can't remember why...
Don qué ?
Aladdin could pull the pursuit and supply cart when retrieving descended project bits and bobs. Would a little bag of barley on a stick in front of him get him going ?
Using His Talents
Because one of his stated talents is "Refusing to move," I would think he would make an excellent anchor during the inflation of the balloon, sort of like the gantry towers that hold rockets prior to launch. I'm willing to bet that the SPBW (Special Projects Burro Wrangler) could be persuaded to add her talents as anchor-tender by an appeal to patriotic and scientific duty, thus adding little additional cost to the endeavor.
Isn't it obvious?
Chief Quality Ass-urance Inspector.
The donkey will go stratasspheric
It is a wellknown fact that donkeys have had a disastrous past history with helium balloons. Eeyore for example.
A quick search of Google images will turn up several pictures of the Disney rendition of A.A.Milne's morose character going skyward.
To bold Lego...

Rated 1 out of 5 by Elsa I am really disappointed I bought this product hoping that it could curl my hair perfectly and the curl will stay long but it turns out the other way around. I am extremely disappointed since the curl in less than 1 hour goes away even though i had sprayed so much hair spray on it. Compare to the previous one (my sister bought the previous version), the newest product is worse than that. I paid so much for this product but did not get what I want. Hope I could get my money back. 3 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynndell Great Nothing comes close to ghd,this is my 4th set,it's just a shame they don't last long 2 July 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by sjenn Not as good as my old GHD I bought this exact same styler in 2007 in the UK. It lasted until this year when I had to replace it. The Australian replacement, though the same model, is inferior. It's not as hot and doesn't do as thorough job. Not worth the premium price tag. 2 July 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by jaan this product does not heat up as before I have found that these new ghd do not heat up as good as the first ones that came out. It leave my fair fuzzy after straighting. 2 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Divya The "perfect" styler for supremely unmanageable hair Ordered it in Bangalore, India. GHD shipped it quickly and it reached me in less than a week. That is incredible service ! This was a gift for me from my husband and let me say, it couldn't have been a more perfect one. My struggle with styling my hair used to take a minimum of 30 minutes just to get that perfect look, but now thanks to the GHD IV styler, it is done in minutes. The GHD IV styler is very quick, very smooth and definitely stylish.. leaving you with great looking hair every time. I'd recommend this styler to anyone who wishes to have great looking hair everyday with minimum effort. Definitely worth every penny paid for. Thank you GHD ! 1 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carlaleexx I love it 2 bits Best straighteners I have ever come across they r perfect heats up quick and straightens hair really quick love em 2 bits 1 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by anouska ghd absolutely love my ghd straightners especially the colour purple brilliant for curling my hair well worth the money 1 July 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Abi1991 GHD's are a great reliable company So far I'm getting on really well with my new GHD's. I've often bought my straightners from hair salons as I have family in the business, but I have been let down by many makes after them not working after a few months. I have now turned to yourselves and wont turn back...long as they continue to work the way they are now. The only drawback is that no protective mat is included in the package. This is something I miss from other brands that offered me. 1 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susiq ghd IV styler-brilliant Wish I had bought one of these years ago. At last I have found a styler that I can use and get great results. My old styler just seemed to make no difference. The only slight comment that I have is that when you put the styler down it rolls to one side and I am concerned that it will affect the wood of my dressing table.So I put it on something to be safe. The speed at which it heats up is fantastic. 1 July 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jodie30 This product straightens hair very well Had my previous GHD IV styler for 10 yrs so thought I would buy the same one again. Arrived next day, very happy with them. 1 July 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by haffiza33 I love my styler, I can not do without it . I think its a great product , I love the fact that I don't have to sit for hour trying to make my hair look great , in just a few minutes I'm ready n looking great. I started using GHD from 2010 an neva looked back. I only wish that there was a longer garantee on the product cause I was left strandered when my first styler gave up and because my garantee was over I could not do anything. I was very lucky to receive a birthday gift from my mom this year an now I'm stress free . 30 June 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by shrimpy1 not as good as my old ones Might be because they are new but my old ghds (they are 8 years old) gave a better finish. They might get better the more I use them. These new ones make my hair more frizzy and takes longer to get a good finish. Otherwise I love them. 30 June 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by furby heats up very quick So far so good ive always used them my old ones are brilliant too 30 June 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ladytink1986 Best of the GHD range Had the GHD 4's first time round and lasted me 5+ years - looked for the same ones but couldn't find exactly. These ones are the best but think you've tried to make them better and have failed. Feel lighter and don't seem to grip as well. 30 June 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Han123 not good not happy with the straightners. They do not get hot enough and I'm wondering if they are not rally ghds. Will be trying to return them or sell them myself. 29 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by blodyntatws The best straighteners around I was given my ghd as a birthday present two years ago and love them but since my daughter has been staying with me my straighteners have been going astray. So the best birthday present I could have given her was some ghd of her own. We both consider them to be the best straighteners on the market. 28 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaymas39 Ghd are the only way to style!!!! Once you go GHD you do not go back!!!! They do the job you need and your hair stays in good condition because they do the job the first time so you don't have to keep going over it!!! I love them!! 28 June 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Skittles It is stream lined This product once heated the light on the handle flashes continually which I don't think it should ! 28 June 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 Not as good as the old ones GHD havw now made their IV Stylers a lot lighter than the originals ones when they first came out. they dont seem as sturdy. Also they have reduced the heat from 220 to 185 so I feel they definately dont give a great finish as they are not as warm. A friend of mine both the exact same pair around same time as she feels the same. She has the original ones also and uses these instead. 28 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jojo82 This product is ideal heats up fast and is easy to use I have wanted ghds for a long while now an must admit that the price put me off but when I add up all the straighteners I have purchased that were time wasting and not suitable i wish I had bought them years ago! They are fast heating and unlike any others I have had before (and there have been lots) my hair actually stays straight. 28 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Niomi27 Easily the best flat iron out there. I've always had really thick curly hair, which I absolutely loathed. I tried several different flat irons, even some recommended by stylists but none of them worked. A lot of them tugged and got caught on my hair, they didn't get hot enough to actually straighten anything. So finally I decided to splurge and just go for the GHD flat iron that I knew my recent hairstylist used(And recommended) and oh my, the difference is night and day. I don't need any special tricks or product to straighten my hair, it works wonderfully and in half the time any other flat iron I've used. It's easily the best, no snagging on my hair, its hot and it heats up extremely fast, so no wait time. I can even curl the ends of my hair inward or outward easily with no problems if I feel like adding a little flair. Easily the best flat iron on the market, definitely worth the money. 27 June 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AK786 awesome product to have, no regrets! From bad hair days to good hair days! I never thought I'd love doing my hair so much. Thumbs up to this product. 27 June 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sammitee Great, but not the best I've had a ghd before, it was a limited edition and I felt it worked much better than the classic or original model. This one doesn't seem to straighten or style as quickly as the ones I've had in the past. I love the ghd but was disappointed with this one. 27 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Geoamb this product is very reliable. I bought this styler for my wife as a second pair so she can take them when travelling. She loves them and has no complaints so I'm more than happy at a product that does what it should and works well. 27 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bobbalou49 This product is the best! My GHD Classic is the best flatiron out there for thick, frizzy hair! I could not love it more. 26 June 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lindy62 Not the usual standard I had to send the Ghd's back as the plates didn't line up properly and therefor they didn't grip the hair whilst straightening. Also they didn't heat up as quickly as my previous pair. I had bought them as back up for my 5 year old pair just in case they failed me. I guess this time I was unlucky and recieved a sub standard pair. 26 June 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sarah88 Ok I had a pair of ghds for 8 years previous to this pair and they were amazing lasting that amount of time with no problems. I have had this new pair for a few months as had to send them back for repair leaving me very disappointed. 26 June 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by vick28 a must have, can't live without mine This is my third pair of GHD'S, not bad going. I couldn't live without mine, makes my wavy hair smooth and I'm ready to go. 26 June 2013
Do I look
Like I want
A cardie
For Christmas?
Subtlety works for no one and a cardie won't work for you. Send your loved ones a hint to make sure you get the gift you really want this year. Don't be shy.
If you have to, spell it out... g.h.d!
Personalise your hint below by entering a novelty gift that you don't want to receive, then we'll tell them
what you really want.
They don't
want to
get the hint
Unfortunately, {0} doesn't want to receive emails from ghd, so we cannot send them your hint. But don't worry, there are still lots of ways to get what you want this year, including:
- Pop into your local approved salon and pick up a hint card at the desk
- Leave not-so-subtle hints with strategically placed magazines and the ghd adverts circled
- Share our social posts so they #getthehintdarling
We think
they've got
the hint
We are on a mission to make you happy this Christmas, and it seems you are too. Unfortunately, sometimes less is more and you have used all of your hints for today. But there is always tomorrow!
You've just
sent the hint
We hope your not-so-subtle hint gets you the gift you want to receive this Christmas. Just to make sure, drop more hints so they #getthehintdarling

In Pennsylvania, Monday was the last day to register to vote in the state's upcoming primary.
All weekend, party members were trying to sign up as many people as they could. The April 22nd primary is important because of the state's large number of delegates.
A last-minute voter drive unfolded in an unlikely place. Parishioners at Trinity United Methodist Church in Jonestown came out for Easter services, but along with a sermon, they also got a bit of politics.
Jo Ellen Litz, a Lebanon County Commissioner decided with Monday's voter registration deadline, Church on Sunday would be a good place to get people to register.

We are so blessed to have this opportunity to grow----and to grow so fast. In fact, hubby and I were reminiscing about how quickly it all has happened.
This show will also be the 8th anniversary of LaurieAnna's! Over the past 8 years, we've gone from booth to Yellow House, to The Shoppe, to the expanded Shoppe----and now we are expanding the expansion! It's been a wild ride!
With the additional room, The Shoppe has now grown to almost 10,000 square feet! WOW! It's simply mind-boggling!
In addition to growth at the physical store, we have been diligently working on an expansion of the online store which we will soon share with you! What kinds of things would you like to see featured in the new space and online?
Come see us! The fun all begins on this Thursday morning at 9am, show dates are Feb 28th - March 3rd.
Store hours:
Thursday 9am - 5pm
