This is New York:
The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek's This Is New York. First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the book from their childhood.
This Is San Francisco:
Let the rumbling cable car tell you the story! And what a story: From the crookedest street in the world to the Peking ducks in Chinatown, San Francisco is easily one of the world's most enchanting cities. Illustrator Miroslav Sasek captures both the breathtaking landscape and the cosmopolitan flavor of the City by the Bay in This is San Francisco. First published in 1962, Sasek's jaunty, colorful illustrations will still dazzle kids and adults alike.
About the Author:
M. Sasek was born in Prague in 1916 and died in Switzerland in 1980. He worked as a painter and illustrator for most of his life. Starting with This is Paris published in 1958, the books he wrote painted a delightful and evocative picture of some of the world's great cities (and countries!). Having delighted children and adults for more than 50 years they are now being reissued.

Ryan Braun wins appeal, long live Ryan Braun
milwaukee brewers February 24th, 2012
Ryan Braun will not be missing 50 games due to a suspension after winning his appeal against the MLB. This is the best news Brewers fans have received in months. The good guys won. This is awesome, awesome news. This is a reason to celebrate as Evan Rytlewski was kind enough to point out:
Personally, this is the happiest non-game day excited I have been for the Brewers since the Zack Greinke trade. I smiled, I called or texted all of my friends and I did a little dance around the apartment. It was a good day for me. There isn't going to be a need for any "oh wait til we get Ryan Braun back" conversations or blog posts that I wasn't looking forward to having/doing. Now that Ryan Braun has been exonerated on all charges we can finally put this whole ordeal behind us and move on with what really matters: drinking baseball. Right? Read the rest of this entry »

I haven´t been digiscrapping for long (just learned how to use a computer a year ago), but I am "addicted" now. It´s so fun.
By the way, my english suck. Sorry about that, but I hope you will understand me, and probably I will learn more.

Very Nice!
I loved this dress from the moment I laid eyes on it, for a casual option. I would be reluctant to wear this in the heat of the day because it has 2 layers so your undergarments do not show. GOOOOD JOB BEBE!!!!
It's a little longer than I wanted but it's still a super cute dress. It can be worn casual and dressed up. I love having that option

Perfect for summer!
I really like this dress. It's sexy yet sophisticated and office-appropriate. I like how it's lined (no visible panty lines) and at knee-length. I really wish bebe made more dresses like this. Bebe has tons of sexy dresses, but most are not office appropriate because they're either too revealing or too short. I think I speak for many customers when I say I like to get my money's worth when I buy clothes and that means being able to wear them over and over to just about any occasion. Another plus about this item? It's machine washable!!!! Thanks, bebe!

Great summer dress
This dress is very pretty, fits amazingly (snug in all the right places), perfect for those summer time adventures. The colors really pops! love it. I bought it in a small because they didn't have a medium and I'm glad I tried the small, it looks amazing!!!

This book is called NUMBERS from the several numberings of the people contained in it. It extends from the giving of the law at Sinai, till their arrival in the plains of Jordan. An account is given of their murmuring and unbelief, for which they were sentenced to wander in the wilderness nearly forty years; also some laws, both, moral and ceremonial. Their trials greatly tended to distinguish the wicked and hypocrites from the faithful and true servants of God, who served him with a pure heart.
The numbering of the Israelites. (1-43) The number of the people. (44-46) The Levites not numbered with the rest. (47-54)
Verses 1-43 The people were numbered to show God's faithfulness in thus increasing the seed of Jacob, that they might be the better trained for the wars and conquest of Canaan, and to ascertain their families in order to the division of the land. It is said of each tribe, that those were numbered who were able to go forth to war; they had wars before them, though now they met with no opposition. Let the believer be prepared to withstand the enemies of his soul, though all may appear to be peace.
Verses 44-46 We have here the sum total. How much was required to maintain all these in the wilderness! They were all provided for by God every day. When we observe the faithfulness of God, however unlikely the performance of his promise may appear, we may take courage as to those which yet remain to be fulfilled to the church of God.
Verses 47-54 Care is here taken to distinguish the tribe of Levi, which, in the matter of the golden calf, had distinguished itself. Singular services shall be recompensed by singular honours. It was to the honour of the Levites, that to them was committed the care of the tabernacle and its treasures, in their camps and in their marches. It was for the honour of the holy things that none should see them, or touch them, but those who were called of God to the service. We all are unfit and unworthy to have fellowship with God, till called by his grace into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and so, being the spiritual seed of that great High Priest, we are made priests to our God. Great care must be taken to prevent sin, for preventing sin is preventing wrath. Being a holy tribe, they were not reckoned among other Israelites. They that minister about holy things, should neither entangle themselves, nor be entangled, in worldly affairs. And let every believer seek to do what the Lord has commanded.
Numbers 1:1-54 . MOSES NUMBERING THE MEN OF WAR.
1, 2. on the first day of the second month, &c.--Thirteen months had elapsed since the exodus. About one month had been occupied in the journey; and the rest of the period had been passed in encampment among the recesses of Sinai, where the transactions took place, and the laws, religious and civil, were promulgated, which are contained in the two preceding books. As the tabernacle was erected on the first day of the first month, and the order here mentioned was given on the first day of the second, some think the laws in Leviticus were all given in one month. The Israelites having been formed into a separate nation, under the special government of God as their King, it was necessary, before resuming their march towards the promised land, to put them into good order. And accordingly Moses was commissioned, along with Aaron, to take a census of the people. This census was incidentally noticed ( Exodus 38:26 ), in reference to the poll tax for the works of the tabernacle; but it is here described in detail, in order to show the relative increase and military strength of the different tribes. The enumeration was confined to those capable of bearing arms [ Numbers 1:3 ], and it was to be made with a careful distinction of the tribe, family, and household to which every individual belonged. By this rule of summation many important advantages were secured: an exact genealogical register was formed, the relative strength of each tribe was ascertained, and the reason found for arranging the order of precedence in march as well as disposing the different tribes in camp around the tabernacle. The promise of God to Abraham [ Genesis 22:17 ] was seen to be fulfilled in the extraordinary increase of his posterity, and provision made for tracing the regular descent of the Messiah.
3. Aaron shall number them by their armies--or companies. In their departure from Egypt they were divided into five grand companies ( Exodus 13:18 ), but from the sojourn in the wilderness to the passage of the Jordan, they were formed into four great divisions. The latter is here referred to.
4-16. with you there shall be a man of every tribe, &c.--The social condition of the Israelites in the wilderness bore a close resemblance to that of the nomad tribes of the East in the present day. The head of the tribe was a hereditary dignity, vested in the oldest son or some other to whom the right of primogeniture was transferred, and under whom were other inferior heads, also hereditary, among the different branches of the tribe. The Israelites being divided into twelve tribes, there were twelve chiefs appointed to assist in taking the census of the people.
5. these are the names of the men that shall stand with you, &c.--Each is designated by adding the name of the ancestors of his tribe, the people of which were called "Beni-Reuben," "Beni-Levi," sons of Reuben, sons of Levi, according to the custom of the Arabs still, as well as other nations which are divided into clans, as the Macs of Scotland, the Aps of Wales, and the O's and the Fitzes of Ireland [CHALMERS].
16-18. These were the renowned--literally, "the called" of the congregation, summoned by name; and they entered upon the survey the very day the order was given.
18. by their polls--individually, one by one.
19. As the Lord commanded Moses, &c.--The numbering of the people was not an act sinful in itself, as Moses did it by divine appointment; but David incurred guilt by doing it without the authority of God.
20-44. These are those that were numbered--In this registration the tribe of Judah appears the most numerous; and accordingly, as the pre-eminence had been assigned to it by Jacob [ Genesis 49:8-12 ], it got the precedence in all the encampments of Israel. Of the two half-tribes of Joseph, who is seen to be "a fruitful bough" [ Genesis 49:22 ], that of Ephraim was the larger, as had been predicted. The relative increase of all, as in the two just mentioned, was owing to the special blessing of God, conformably to the prophetic declaration of the dying patriarch. But the divine blessing is usually conveyed through the influence of secondary causes; and there is reason to believe that the relative populousness of the tribes would, under God, depend upon the productiveness of the respective localities assigned to them. [For
45, 46. all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand. &c.--What an astonishing increase from seventy-five persons who went down to Egypt about two hundred fifteen years before and who were subjected to the greatest privations and hardships! And yet this enumeration was restricted to men from twenty years and upwards ( Numbers 1:3 ). Including women, children, and old men, together with the Levites, the whole population of Israel, on the ordinary principles of computation, amounted to about 2,400,000.
47-54. But the Levites . . . were not numbered among them--They were obliged to keep a register of their own. They were consecrated to the priestly office, which in all countries has been exempted customarily, and in Israel by the express authority of God, from military service. The custody of the things devoted to the divine service was assigned to them so exclusively, that "no stranger"--that is, no person, not even an Israelite of any other tribe, was allowed, under penalty of death, to approach these [ Numbers 16:40 ]. Hence they encamped round the tabernacle in order that there should be no manifestation of the divine displeasure among the people. Thus the numbering of the people was subservient to the separation of the Levites from those Israelites who were fit for military service, and to the practical introduction of the law respecting the first-born, for whom the tribe of Levi became a substitute [ Exodus 13:2 , Numbers 3:12 ].

Natya Dance Theatre will present "Shakti Chakra: The Energy Cycle" at 8 p.m. Feb. 16 in the Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University. | Supplied Photo
Updated: March 8, 2013 7:14AM
For the second straight year, the Chicago Community Trust has awarded a $50,000 grant to Governors State University's Center for Performing Arts. The grant will be used to support GSU's "One More Night" series.
Under the terms of the grant, the center will introduce its audiences to Chicago-based theater, dance and musical ensemble companies and develop new audiences through collaboration with diverse arts organizations, school officials said in a news release.
Officials also said "One More Night" is designed to increase attendance from underserved communities, increase theater participation by minority populations, and increase the number of first-time attendees.

A Promise in Pieces
10.16.14 |

Perfection. Does it haunt you? Is it something you strive for but can't obtain? Does it feel like an inner drive for excellence, helping you achieve your personal best? Or does it rule and stifle you because you can never measure up?
Perfectionism can be your greatest strength or your greatness weakness. As I learn about myself and observe other people, I realize the need for balance in every character trait. Good things taken to the extreme can ultimately be a detriment. I'm not advocating complacency or lukewarm attitudes - be passionate! However, don't let the means overrule the end goal. In this case, the end goal is to be like Christ. I don't know what to call this inner drive toward perfectionism. It seems like some people have very little of it, while others are consumed by it.
A friend of mine recently shared his struggles with perfectionism. He desires to do everything so perfectly, that in the end, he does nothing at all out of fear he'll never measure up. I struggle there too. "I can't do it, so why try?" WHY try?
Learning is a part of life and so is making mistakes. We learn and develop strength by God's grace. When we fail, God reveals weakness and seals our cracks with his Holy Spirit. What an amazing testament to God's glory! I don't want anything obstructing that glory, namely perfectionism. God doesn't want our works - He wants our hearts. And when we realize that truth, the Lord can use us to the maximum!
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1. Cor 10:31
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men" Col. 3:23
God wants our personal best. But sometimes our standards are higher than His! He simply asks for our hearts and our all, not our perfection! While praying about this, the Lord led me to this scripture. It really rocked my world.
"To all perfection I see a limit; but your commands are boundless." Psalm 119:96
For us, perfection has limitations. Striving to push past these boundaries can seriously hinder our lives! But His commands are boundless and they ARE life.
"It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy." Rom. 9:16
"But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Matt. 9:13
None of us can measure up – ever. And that's more than okay! Perfection is not God's standard. If it were, Christ wouldn't have come to set us free.
Does perfectionism rule you or do you use those tendencies to push yourself into working heartily unto the Lord? When used correctly, a healthy drive can produce excellence in character and in work, which all together reflects the glory of the Lord.
Perfectionism - To rule you OR to reflect Him?
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
Very powerful words to remind us that our purpose here on earth is to reflect Him. Thank you!

Eddie Redmayne was at the Giffoni Film Festival today. He wore his favourite pants and a beautiful shirt with his hair a little too strategically tousled. I've been waiting for new photos of him to come out because I wanted to write about what he said to GQ recently about how he was Twi-Harded on a plane recently by a flight attendant: "I fell asleep, and when I woke up the man next to me asked, 'Excuse me, are you someone important?' I must have looked confused. Full Story

The truth is I was looking for Eddie Redmayne at Wimbledon. I thought he might be there. And he was, just not for the final. This photo is from July 1. He was there with his girlfriend Hannah Bagshawe. This isn't a very happy-looking photo but I promise you it doesn't mean anything. Full Story
Eddie is a leftie

Eddie Redmayne played tennis with some other celebrities at the Rally Against Cancer charity match at the AEGON Championships in London the other day. I kept looking at this shot of him thinking it was a two hand forehand, evidence of my right hand bias. Because when I asked my husband Jacek, a leftie, to help me figure out why Eddie was hitting a two hand forehand, he told me I was an idiot. Full Story

If you were to ask me to close my eyes and picture a London couple, like raincoats and Burberry ads, I would come up with Eddie Redmayne and his girlfriend Hannah Bagshawe, seen here holding hands last night on their way out of the Groucho Club after an event. Eddie's been at home for work lately on the Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending. Full Story
Carey & Eddie two years later
Wenn, Alberto E. Rodriguez/ WPA Pool/ Getty
Two years ago, Carey Mulligan was rebounding off Shia LaBeouf (it makes even more sense now, doesn't it?) by hanging out with Tom Sturridge and living out of a Best Western. It was never confirmed if they were dating but it didn't last long enough for any interest to really take hold anyway because a couple of months later she was photographed holding hands in New York with Eddie Redmayne.

Annie won while Eddie was sick
Wenn, Reimschuessel/ Getty
BAFTAs. Anne Hathaway won Best Supporting Actress. As I wrote after the SAG Awards -- click here for a refresher -- Annie's acceptance speeches always start out great. Even before she spoke last night she was great. In a gorgeous Burberry dress and her short hair combed forward, stepping up to receive her trophy but acknowledging Sally Field on the way, and hugging George Clooney, and then talking about how stupid she was for almost not hugging George Clooney… All of that, all of that is great. Full Story
Big Top Hollywood
It's a month to Oscar which means it's time to yell at Vanity Fair for its annual Hollywood Issue. As always, the limited diversity that's featured in this supposed celebration of the best of the industry is hidden behind the cover. Of course, yes, they suck for this, totally. But if the Hollywood Issue is a reflection of Hollywood, well, isn't this actually a pretty accurate reflection of Hollywood? Hollywood is white and no women over 40 are allowed. Full Story

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich: Handle Derrick Rose return to Bulls with care
BY JOE COWLEY firstname.lastname@example.com February 11, 2013 10:28PM
Bulls guard Nate Robinson floats a shot over Spurs center Boris Diaw in the first quarter of the Chicago Bulls vs. the San Antonio Spurs NBA tilt Monday February 11, 2013 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Gregg Popovich knows a few things about easing injured players back into the lineup after missing significant time, but even the San Antonio Spurs coach said Monday that when the Bulls' Derrick Rose is ready to return from a knee injury, it's a much more unique situation.
"For him as an individual, everyone knows about rhythm and confidence, blah, blah, blah, but for the team it's a readjustment because everyone gets used to each other in a different way,'' Popovich said. "You're used to the way the spacing is and who is in different spaces, who comes in when, who you're playing with, who that group is on the floor, and now it changes.''
Popovich doesn't believe Rose should keep his teammates happy and defer to them more than usual.
"If it's a caliber of the player we're talking about, he comes in and does his thing and everybody figures it out,'' Popovich said. "He doesn't need to defer to anybody. He's got to set the tone and get ready for the playoffs.''
Trading places
With the Feb. 21 trade deadline approaching, coach Tom Thibodeau refused to get caught up in the chatter surrounding his team, specifically Richard Hamilton and Carlos Boozer.
General manager Gar Forman told the Sun-Times in January that the organization was content with Hamilton. As for Boozer, Thibodeau downplayed any trade talk with his roster.
"I think it's the time of the year where all that stuff happens, and most of it is generated by you guys,'' Thibodeau said. "So we don't overreact to that. It's sort of the nature of the beast now. For every 100 trades that get talked about, one gets done. It's not important. We just focus on what we have to do.''
House of pain
Kirk Hinrich (infected right elbow) missed his sixth consecutive game Monday. Though he was expected to travel to Boston for the game Wednesday against the Celtics, the Bulls likely will hold him out through the upcoming All-Star Weekend.
Marco Belinelli (sore right foot) and Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis in right foot) played against the Spurs after being limited in practice Sunday.
Point of interest
Belinelli continued getting point-guard duty when Nate Robinson needed a rest, with Thibodeau taking advantage of Belinelli's play-making skills off the pick-and-roll. Don't expect that to change anytime soon, either. Thibodeau has more confidence in Belinelli's decision-making out of that set.

SHOCKWRITE: Expanding the Discourse
Michele McFaull
Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles
Board Member of Art Historians of Southern California
Jens Hoffman, Director of CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in SanFrancisco quotes Daniel Buren in this month's Artforum. Buren stated " an artobject only fully becomes an art work when it is exhibited and can create arelationship with the public. " Taking some literary license, I suggest his quote is analogous to publishing an e-journal. An e-journal only fully becomes an e-journal, when once launched, it creates a relationship with its audience. This paper speaks to creating an audience beyond the realm of art history.
This relationship to a widened readership is based in Shockwrite's mission to provide a forum with few filters for art writers, while providing a venue that preserves literary and scholarly standards and develops a distinctive voice for the writers.
Shockwrite is a hybrid, with the web-based connectivity functioning as a metaphor for its reader and writer outreach. Our vision is part art journal, part cultural affairs with a mix of contemporary art-scene. We have an avid interest in technology and how digital media plays a crucial role in advancing the arts within museums programs, gallery exhibitions, auction sales and educational curriculums. These old-fashioned disciplines of the traditional arts embrace new and expansionary technology in specific ways that I will outline.
In launching an e-journal, we at the Art Historians of Southern California have to be risk-takers. It's my hope to illustrate some target areas of interest and how this relates back to how we wantto publish. Our site intends to be collaborative—allowing dialogue and creating discourse, facilitate access—quick publication and instant access, while offering peer review—the community of the art world. Shockwrite will take its form with your participation in the publishing house of the future.
First, I want to give a brief overview of some risky ventures in new technology taken recently by art institutions. These illustrate both the risk and reward components.
• The Bravo series with the help of judges Jerry Saltz, Art Critic for New York Magazine, sometime lecturer at Yale, kicked off it's fine–art inspired reality competition titled: Work of Art: The Next Great Artist and offered fourteen aspiring artists a chance to win $100,000, a solo exhibit at Brooklyn Museum of Art, and national recognition. Work of Art was a risk on multiple levels, not the least of which was the reputation of Saltz and the Brooklyn Museum.
• One of MOMA's challenging exhibitions was the work of filmmaker Tim Burton but the unacknowledged artists are the fabricators employed toreinvent his haunting but perverse celluloid characters to life size imagery, an exhibition that took 13 days to install. Youtube videos offer interviews with Milo Mottola and his team who successfully transformed Burton's sketches into a surreal world within MOMA's galleries. Unless you take the time to view these, you might think Burton's images were off the Hollywood back lot.
• In the area of theater, Director Julie Taymor's artistry focused on the nimble yet exotic art of puppetry setting box-office records and advanced ticket sales and drawing crowds back to the theater. Her original production of Spiderman, now on Broadway, weaves sensually textured backdrops framed by a cast of suspended and swinging "fiends" above your head headlining weekly controversy.
• When the success of one of the biggest box office draws in Los Angeles history is the Los Angeles Opera's Ring Cycle by Wagner was owed in no small part to the daring costumes and visionary stage set designs by artist Achim Freyer, making his directorial debut from Berlin.
• The Guggenheim Museum launches a partnership with YouTube in aproject inviting unknown video artists – to upload their videos – with the promise that their work will be judged by museum film curators in addition to a possible debut at one of four Guggenheim locations.
• Los Angeles is the birth place of many of the most influential art movements of the second half of the 20th century, yet much is not well known about the role this city played in the development of Twentieth Century art. Through a partnership between the Getty Foundation and Getty Institute that will tell this story in an unprecedented collaboration of more than 60 cultural institutions across Southern California. Pacific Rim will attempt a complete re-telling of L. A. art from Oct. 2011 to March 2012.
David Hockney has announced he is putting brushes and palette aside to draw digital imaged portraits on his iPad – it draws our attention to the Age of Digital. It begs the question, what are other arts institutions doing to stay ahead of the curve in this digital age? The first responders are embracing the power and challenges of technology. Why? Because technology is guiding them in ways to meet the goals of maintaining their constituency, if not increase their audience,viewership, readership, and attendance.
The Demographic We All Seek
Shockwrite is particularly interested in these digital advances and state of the art technology. Gallery spaces, the hallowed halls of the museums, and Smartclassrooms on your college campus are embracing technology. We might inquire how has the digital age changed the way you are interacting as artists, ascurators, as collectors, as consultants, as students?
Freshman in college today were born in the early 90's when the worldwide web was launched. In 1992, there were 50 sites on WWW, a year later 150 and so it grew. This is the social network generation. Our students grew up with cellphones, ipods and Macs. They are the first to embrace the Kindle, the iPad and the social networking sites of Facebook and Twitter. Embracing social networking, the students of today rely on cell phones as their watch, their calendars, their address book and phone number. Museums, galleries, and films, art fairs and et al want to reach this younger demographic.
Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
The controversy last spring at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is a case in point. Nancy Spector and Andy Berndt, video curators, threw their hat into the ring, June 2010 and announced The First Biennial of Creative Video in a partnership with YouTube. The director, of the museum, Richard Armstrong stated, "Creative online video is one of the most compelling and innovative opportunities for personal expression today 'YouTube Play' demonstrates this is within the reach of anyone who uses a computer and has access to the Internet." Reuters
In a taped video by the curators, artists were invited and prompted about the do's and don'ts (everything from plagiarizing to the format) and "how to's" of participating in their newly launched project: You Tube Play. As Carol Vogel of The New York Times sited "anyone with access to a videocamera and computer will have an opportunity to catch the eye of a Guggenheim curator and vie for a place in a video art exhibition at all of the foundations' museums in New York, Berlin, Spain and Venice."
Conceived as a biennial event it is intended to discover inventive work from unexpected sources. Spector stated "we are looking for things we have not seen before." She added that their process of selection looked for "incredibly creative, self-conscious work ….and that artists should always challenge the status quo."
In their on-line promo Spector and Berndt emphasize that "It's about access, communication, creativity, openness for the selection, 20 – 25 videos will be presented – you nominate yourself." In the Digital Media experiment artists needed no means, no education, and no budget. In other words, they lowered the barriers in order to widen the net and avail themselves of the raw talent that the internet afforded them.
A distinguished jury of 10 experts included: Laurie Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, Doug Gordon, Ryan McGinley, Marilyn Minter, Takashi Murakami and Shirin Neshat. This innovative approach by the Guggenheim recalls what university admissions refer to as blind admissions, designed to offer a fair field of play to all interested in submitting applications. Theoretically it sounded democratic; the challenges were many not the least was screening the 23,000 videos received. The winners' work was streamed live from the museum in October 2010, in a ceremonious tribute to the digital camera.
The critics were harsh and to the point. Leading the charge was Robert Storr, Dean of the Yale University School of Art and former curator of Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, attacked the Guggenheim's project in a New York Times article, stating that "It's time to stop kidding ourselves. The museum as revolving door for new talent is the enemy ofart and of talent, not their friend – and the enemy of the public as well." The New York Times, July, 2010
An additional concern about new mediums is what Niels Van Tomme termed "the fetishization of technology," warning "that it often conceals the artist personality". We welcome this debate and as an online journal we also will be tested as towhat to publish and not to publish, what to invite, how are we testing the boundaries? Our intent is to be as elastic as possible – and see what happens. I use this example as a comparison of risk-taking, not to compare an emerging ejournal with an established art institution but to make the point of our intent in staying true to our word that we will publish your work.
The Guggenheim led their curatorial colleagues in franchising their museums around the world—again striking out in new territory. Where might these innovation lead? Inviting artists and sculptors to share their work on line? Conversations with emerging artists in their studios while working? Circumventing the traditional curatorial, gallery, and white cube experience for a direct hit at the Biennial of Your Choice?
Education Curriculum
We at Shockwrite are interested in course curriculums in the field of art history that bridge other disciplines. One case in point is a course I developed last year in apartnership with the Cultural Affairs Department of the City of Los Angeles. This program is the very definition of hybrid – a cross between an art history course and an Integrated Learning experience for seniors at Otis College of Art and Design. The course was originally conceived as a one-semester course and soon grew to be a four semester-two year project. As fellow travelers you may have noticed the mounting art exhibits in airports both domestically and internationally. It has burgeoned into a competitive field where cities use terminal spaces to transmit their cities identity through art exhibits.
The title of the course is "LAX: Public Policy and the Arts" and the students are given an insight to the role of government in the arts. We look back at the history of government agencies supporting art particularly in the United States (Depression and New Deal Era) and, from a contemporary perspective, the long plight of artists fighting for financial support from national associations (NEA), local government, through government-sponsored grants.
Students are assigned four projects per semester. They must successfully respond to these assignments by building their own criteria as to what defines public art.The course is a collaboration on many levels between the government arm of the arts (CAD), an educational institution of the arts (Otis), and the private airport (LAWA) management located at Los Angeles Airport.
The course structure needs to meet Integrated Learning (IL) criteria as well as Art History. The Il mandates inter-disciplinary teams of students to conceptualize, analyze and define issues shared with them by the partner. It is up to the student to find creative solutions. To give some background on the Integrated Learning program. The IL established partnerships with community based nonprofits and industries within the community of Los Angeles. The program seeks to find real-life experience for Otis students working with the institution/company/or non-profit organization. The focus is learning collaborative skills and successful problem solving with students from other disciplines while maintaining a platform whereby students realize the challenges of the work place.
In the course, the students negotiate a diverse public sphere of national and localpublic works. The final project examines a specific space at the airport that they redesign. The Cultural Affairs Department manages over twelve art centerscounty wide, including three airports, and Watts Towers, and Barnsdale Center, which is a part of Hollyhock House built by Frank Lloyd Wright in Hollywood. The Department has vast resources, a permanent collection of art that is not properly archived and a small support staff to handle the grants, fellowships and exhibits citywide that they curate, plus artists in residency programs.
During the process of writing the curricula for this class, the Mayor of Los Angeles cut the city workforce by 15%. Luckily, the Director of Public Art within the Cultural Affairs Department kept her position and went on to play a crucial role in continuing her interest in our partnership. We are in the second semester this spring. In a 15-week semester we have three field trips to the airport. The manager of LAWA hosts students in their boardroom, gives them a history of the program, outlining the dynamics – the exciting and the pragmatic- to let them see first hand the challenges they face.
Within class students are treated to guest lectures, staff reports and behind the scenes tours of exhibits; they bring cameras and notebooks to judge what should be exhibited versus the present exhibitions. I also ask two speakers per semester to bring their expertise in the field of Public Art to the students. These speakers vary from artists who participate in public artor directors/curators of public art projects. (https://blogs.otis.edu/laxarts/)
Christie's and the Internet
Auction houses have some strange items that sell transforming their interior sales rooms into masterful stage sets. One example is Roy Rodgers' taxidermied horse, Trigger, who sold for more than a quarter of a million dollars. What really happens behind the scenes here? How is technology changing Christie's Auction House? 2010 was the best financial year in the history of Christie's Auction House. They sold 5 billion dollars worth of art, antique and artifacts. The difference from last year's sales is that 27% of those worldwide sales were from on-line buyers. In a sign that fine art collectors are growing ever more comfortable with bidding online, Christie's International reported the sale of an ancient wine vessel and cover, the Fangyi from late Shang dynasty, Anyang, from 12-13th century B.C. sold to an online bidder for $3.3 million setting a new house record for the most expensive item sold online. The sale price smashed the previous Christie's online sales of $1.27 million, set in April 2008 for a Stradavari violin purchased using Christie's LIVE™, the company's proprietary online bidding platform.
Christie's stepped up to the plate and developed their own proprietary technology to increase their audience before their competition. They are changing the paradigm of auction bidding—a win-win for their customers.
Galleries and the VIP Option
Galleries are forming alliances, collaborating on openings, and looking strategically to position their physical spaces within an arts community to survive in this economy. Access is everything. When you talk to gallery owners, as I have over the last few months, you learn that they are concerned with lack of foot traffic, and that they are not sure which direction to go to increase revenues. The owners realize their customers can often view the works they seek through gallery websites and that a new sales strategy needs to be created.
In Los Angeles we have vibrant arts communities from Silver Lake to Culver City, from downtown Los Angeles and NoHo to Bergamot Station in Santa Monica. Bergamot alone hosts 600,000 visitors a year showcasing forty one galleries that physically surround the Santa Monica Museum, a small boutique non-profit museum. It offers parking, a restaurant and gallery openings that are collaborative ventures. On Saturday evenings it's an active art walk. The dealers formed a close alliance to support each other's business. Dealers are not only forming alliances in their community, they are forming alliances in cyberspace.
The answer to what direction to turn was answered by one such group who called their endeavor The VIP Fair. It was launched for one week and started in January 22, 2011. It provided a virtual tour of 138 galleries represented by 30 countries who their featured artists and works along with the technology to sit down and interview the director on a particular work and negotiate prices. They range from established shops like London's White Cube and New York's David Zwirner to relative newcomers such as i8 in Reykjavik.
The VIP fair was created by James and Jane Cohan, from New York, both art dealers who teamed up with two internet entrepreneurs three years ago when the art world was about to be hit by recession. As you might imagine their site is provoking some angst among the other dealers who did not join. We might ask does the world really need another international art fair? With ARCO Madrid in February, Tefaf in March, Art Basel in June, Frieze in October, Miami in December and a dozen fringe fairs in between. There is a mini-travel business built around the travel schedule of art and antique dealers and the annual costlycircuit they chase. The VIP Fair offers access, collaboration to top galleries for a fraction of the cost of attending the conventional fairs.
Gallery owners chose between three sizes of virtual booths for their wares, for about one-fifth of the charge of the traditional art fair. Mere browsing is free, although visitors must pay for access to an instant-messaging system, price lists and dealers' private rooms. VIP ran for one week and the success of it is still being determined. The most expensive work purchased was for $336,000. According to critics the model is not perfected as yet. Between wait times to upload images and the non-invited guest—called Spam—the site experienced some glitches. Some viewers found it difficult to negotiate. However, the vision is set and we will follow the endeavors of such attempts to integrate the arts and the web at Shockwrite.
Shockwrite is here to be a catalyst, the catalyst of transparency. What do we wish to be transparent? The art world we inhabit. Not only the academic but the happenings in and around the art world. Our daily lives. Our gallery, museum, theater and classroom experiences. But just as rarefied air turns stale and inbreeding becomes toxic – we owe it to our generation and future ones to talk with our fellow travelers on an equal playing field to make our discipline stronger.
We invite the non-art historian to address and present the art world they see, they hear and they experience. We invite the untold narratives from the back scenes, the behind-the-scene activity – that takes place in the white cube, at the drop of a gavel at auctions worldwide, and within the hollowed structures of museums.
The conventional research paper is always welcomed but we stand as more than a journal – we are the new world of happenings within art research, art critique, art premieres, art collecting, art foundations, that normally go unacknowledged. We welcome the narratives you experience in your work place and play, as well as in your library.
We aim to lower barriers while maintaining a distinctive presence. Although we welcome the scholarly papers and essays published monthly and quarterly in mainstream art journals such as (October, Frieze, Art Forum, Art Papers) our schema is not to solely publish art history research and methodological essays but glean from your interests and your writing.
We offer you a stage to highlight your area of expertise and link to others via video, hyperlinks and alternative media. If you value other communities input this is your site. For those artists, art historians who create, install, experience, moderate, argue, critique, obey, or disobey the rules please join us in our new venture.
You Deserve to be Heard.

Are Eden Beans packed in cans with enamel lining that contains bisphenol-A?No. Eden Organic Beans are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical, bisphenol-A (BPA). Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir. These cans cost 14% more than the industry standard cans that do contain BPA. The can maker, Ball Corporation, confirms that this oleoresinous lining is not corn-based. Ball Corporation also tells us that Eden is the only U.S. food maker to date to use their oleoresinous, non-BPA, lined cans, which we have been using since April 1999.
What is the shelf life of Eden canned beans?Three years. A 'Best if Used by' date code is on the top of each can. The code starts with the year's four digits followed by a two-letter month abbreviation and then the numbers of the day. Example: 2013MA05
How many canned bean offerings does Eden have?
Where do Eden's beans come from?All Eden's beans are organically grown on USA family farms that are visited at least once a year by Eden and that we are secure in their motivation and methods.
Does Eden Foods offer low sodium and sodium free bean choices?Yes. Eden has 12 very low sodium Plain beans with no salt added; 5 low sodium Plain beans; 2 low sodium Seasoned beans; and 6 low sodium Rice and Bean offerings.
Are Eden Canned Beans cooked and ready to eat?Yes, just heat and serve. See each product 'Detailed Description' for more cooking ideas, as well as our recipe section.
What are the brown specks that can be found mixed in with Eden Plain beans, towards the bottom of the can?The brown specks are from Kombu, a healthy sea vegetable also known as kelp, which enhances flavor, digestibility, and nutrition.
Does Kombu in Eden Beans contribute iodine?Yes. Based on our third party independent laboratory analysis, the Kombu in Eden Beans contributes, on average, 48.4 mcg of iodine per 1/2 cup serving, or 32% Daily Value (DV).

Other Business Terms
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Temporary market where buyers and sellers gather to transact business. Fairs are held at regular intervals, generally at the same location and time of year. An important form of commerce before the Industrial Revolution, fairs solved the problem of distribution and made possible the demonstration of arts and crafts and the sale and barter of goods. They were a fixture of the Roman Empire and medieval Europe, where they were held at major caravan crossroads and near religious festivals. The rules of the fairs eventually became the basis of European business law. Fairs began to die out as cities grew larger and transportation networks became more extensive, though some continued to exist as religious festivals or recreational events. County, agricultural, and livestock fairs are still held in many countries. The trade fair or trade show, often an international event in which exhibitors from one industry display their goods, gained popularity in the 20th century.

Deadline for submitting completed ballots is Monday, May 20, by 5 p.m. Winners will be announced in a special section scheduled in June.
It's as simple as this. Area residents can write in the names of their favorites in these classifications: Automotive, People, Restaurants, Services and Shopping. Each class has a collection of its own categories. Voters may also cast a ballot for "Best Overall Business" in Bradley County.
In Automotive, readers may write in votes for area businesses, companies or operations that provide the best in auto body repair, automotive repair, tires, oil change, auto batteries, new car sales, used car sales, new truck sales, used truck sales, window tinting, motorcycle sales and towing/wrecker service.
In People, a few — but not all — categories include naming the best politician, community leader, volunteer, elementary school teacher, middle school and/or high school teacher, principal, dentist, dental hygienist, attorney, physician, nurse, boss, administrative assistant, Realtor, caterer, banker, teller, photographer, electrician, plumber, car salesman, optometrist, home builder, accountant, newspaper columnist and many others.
In Restaurants, who offers the finest breakfast, bakery, international cuisines, seafood, hamburgers, French fries, desserts, kids' meals, chicken, coffee, barbecue, steaks, ice cream, salad bar, sandwiches, hot wings, hot dogs, fine dining, sports bar and yes, many more?
In Services, who's the best funeral home, college, elementary school, middle or high school, hair salon, spa, medical clinic, hotel or motel, coin laundry, car wash, fitness center, bank, credit union, apartment complex, church or worship center, insurance agency, golf course, nursing home, law firm, computer repair, appliance repair, among a bunch of others?
And in Shopping, where can you go for the community's best antiques, convenience store, bridal shop, men's clothes, women's clothes, kid's clothes, shoes, paint, electronics, sporting goods, pharmacy, landscaping materials, hardware, bookstore, jewelry, furniture, garden center, supermarket, bicycles and yes, much more?
Similar to last year's Reader's Choice awards, which received overwhelming community response, the 2013 version has a few guidelines. They include:
1. Voters may cast as many ballots as they desire; however, only official ballots from the Banner will be accepted. No photocopies.
2. Ballot deadline is Monday, May 20, at 5 p.m.
3. Ballots will be available through Monday, May 20, and will be published regularly in the Banner.
4. Completed ballots may be delivered to the Cleveland Daily Banner offices in person at 1505 25th St. N.W. or they may be sent by postal mail to Cleveland Daily Banner, P.O. Box 3600, Cleveland TN 37320.
5. Voters are asked to fill out as many of the categories as possible.
6. Voters are reminded to use complete names for people, if possible.
7. Voters are reminded to designate which site, by address or location, if the business has more than one operation in the community.
8. Voters are reminded to cast a ballot for "Best Overall Business in Bradley County" which can be found at the lower bottom corner of the full-page ballot.
9. Voters are reminded to enter their names and addresses in the coupon that can be found at the ballot's bottom right corner. Filling out the coupon will enter the voter's name in an entry for a $150 gift card to the Bald-Headed Bistro as the Banner's way of saying "thanks" for participating in Reader's Choice 2013. But, don't separate the entry form from the ballot. Keep the two together.
It's a simple ballot.
It's a fun opportunity to recognize Bradley County's best.
And no, it's not a scientific survey.
Its intent is to highlight community favorites and to grant them bragging rights; at least, until Reader's Choice 2014!

M.A. Trading Geo Shapes Contempo Shapes Red Rug
Item #: 209BERBLU-P Add to Wishlist
Features: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Geo Shapes
- Brand: M.A. Trading
- Material: 100% New Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 3' x 5' 4", 4' 6" x 6' 6", 5' 6" x 7' 10", 6' 6" x 9' 9", 8' x 11' 6" and 2' 8" x 7' 10"
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
this rug is nice quality, and true to size but not true to color. after reading the reviews and pierring at the screen, I expected all the colors to be as seen on the website. There are approximately 6 colors, the dark blue is very, very dark. the other dark blue is a little more vibrant, the med. blue is a little lighter, the real light blue is beautiful and really makes this carpet. however the other two colors which look blue on your monitor, are two shades of grey and very muddy. This rug would look best in a very well lit area, because it takes on a dark cast at night. Ask for a mfg's color photo, don't believe your website monitor.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.We bought another rug from another company on December and when it still hadn't arrived in April we cancelled the order and ordered this rug instead. We LOVE it. It is great quality, was delivered in just over a week and looks just like its picture. We wish it could have been slightly bigger but all in all we have had a fantastic experience ordering this product and if we buy another rug we will definitely get it from here!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Northern Ohio Sprint Car Show Rings In A New Season |
Tuesday, 20 March 2007 | |
By Stephen J. Hartzell (Tiffin, OH) The long off-season is nearly over, and there is no better way to ring in a new racing season than to come to the Tiffin Mall this weekend, March 23-25, for the annual Northern Ohio Sprint Car Show. The NOSCS is once again being made possible by the generous support of Fremont Speedway, Attica Raceway Park and Coors Light Beer. Local racing enthusiast Steve "Scoop" Hartzell is in his 5th year as NOSCS event promoter and organizer. |

This is the 4th variety of Food Should Taste Good chips that we've reviewed here on Iateapie.net. So far the MultiGrain and Cinnamon Tortilla Chips are our favorites, while the Chocolate Chips were just okay. I recently received a free sample of Food Should Taste Good Potato & Chive Chips and with the excellent track record for this brand, I couldn't wait to try it.
Normally, I am not one to reach for potato chips; but this cross between a tortilla chip and a potato chip put a smile on my face. The somewhat thin and crispy chips possess a scrumptious, mouthwatering lightness. The flavor profile is comparable to that of a baked potato. It tastes almost as though someone baked the skin of a potato into a chip ... in a weirdly delicious way. They are not overly salty and the flavor profile is thorough, entertaining your taste buds from start to finish (as opposed to simply being a coating that enhances the chip).
A 1 ounce serving of Food Should Taste Good Potato & Chive Chips provides 140 calories, 11% & 5% of the daily value for total and saturated fat, 5% of the DV for sodium, 16% of the DV for fiber, no sugar and 2 grams of protein. The ingredients are simply, stone ground corn, potato (Russet & Superior), high oleic sunflower and/or safflower oil, corn bran, chives and sea salt.
These all natural chips are Gluten free, Kosher, lactose free and contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Yes - this is another Food Should taste Good Chip that I'm enamored with. A 7 oz bag of Food Should Taste Good Potato & Chive Chips cost me somewhere in the neighborhood of $3.00 - not to mention you can get $1.00 off instantly by signing up as a fan at FoodShouldTasteGood.com.
Whereas the total fat is a little on the high side - this is a snack and should be treated as such - the simple ingredients list and delightful taste means I will be buying this again.
