The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility, and Other Writings on Media
Harvard University Press, 2008 - Social Science - 426 pages
Benjamin'e(tm)s famous 'eoeWork of Art'e essay sets out his boldest thoughts'e"on media and on culture in general'e"in their most realized form, while retaining an edge that gets under the skin of everyone who reads it. In this essay the visual arts of the machine age morph into literature and theory and then back again to images, gestures, and thought.
This essay, however, is only the beginning of a vast collection of writings that the editors have assembled to demonstrate what was revolutionary about Benjamin'e(tm)s explorations on media. Long before Marshall McLuhan, Benjamin saw that the way a bullet rips into its victim is exactly the way a movie or pop song lodges in the soul.
This book contains the second, and most daring, of the four versions of the 'eoeWork of Art'e essay'e"the one that addresses the utopian developments of the modern media. The collection tracks Benjamin'e(tm)s observations on the media as they are revealed in essays on the production and reception of art; on film, radio, and photography; and on the modern transformations of literature and painting. The volume contains some of Benjamin'e(tm)s best-known work alongside fascinating, little-known essays'e"some appearing for the first time in English. In the context of his passionate engagement with questions of aesthetics, the scope of Benjamin'e(tm)s media theory can be fully appreciated.

BWW Reviews: THE ROYAL BALLET Offers an Uneven Mixed Bill by British Choreographers
by Sondra Forsyth - Jun 29, 2015
The second program of the Royal Ballet of England's return to New York City after an 11-year hiatus and the first appearance of the company at the Koch Theatre in Lincoln Center was an ambitious but not entirely successful presentation of works by British choreographers. The greatest failing was not onstage but in the Playbill. No notes at all were included to help the audience appreciate the ballets and the music in a historical context. While I applaud the company as well as the presenting Joyce Theater Foundation for eschewing the standard story ballets in favor of repertory fare, I am at a loss to figure out why the dancegoers were not given any information other than titles, credits, and casting. On the afternoon of June 27th when I was there, I overheard many people during pauses and intermissions commenting that a little assistance in comprehending the inspiration and intent of the choreographers would have been appreciated.

Great mount, nice tilting mechanism.
OCDave from Lone Star State – Verified Buyer
This is my 12th wall mounted flat panel in my modest 1500 sq ft home. OK, I'm a little HDTV OCD lol. Anyway, not my first mount and this was for a 32" LG LED TV for the dining room. Was going up high on the wall so needed the full 15 degrees tilt which this has. Mounting to the wall was easy. Plenty of slotted holes in the mount and I used the included lag screws to anchor to a stud. The parts that go to the TV are never that simple and this mount was no different. There were lots of screws spacers washers etc included but the ones that came with the mount were a little shorter than my liking - would have only been 3 to 4 threads of engagement to the TV - so I used the LG screws that the base was mounted with. Which of course I did not need the base. Those screws were long enough IMO so onward to mounting. I put the mounts low on the TV so the bottom of the TV would not tilt into the wall. Plenty of slotted holes to do this in the mount. I like the locking levers although they do get in the way of the mount and the TV. Just adjust them out of the way. Moral of that story is dry fit everything on the dining room table first then go to the wall with it. Summary - very good quality and engineering for the price.
Perfect for viewing at a slight angle
Daniel Fernandez from Dove Creek, CO – Verified Buyer
This mount is just what we needed. When company fills the livingroom, we can angle the TV for all to view, Not easy to mount, but with three people it can be done.
Hung Low
Timothy Dell from La Habra, CA – Verified Buyer
Excellent mount, the mount was perfect for a whirlpool bath area and works great. The unit was easy to install and no worries being over water for safety.
"Great Buy"
Laura from Fort McMurray, AB Canada – Verified Buyer
I looked up my TV model to see which mounts are meant for my TV. Once I had the model of the mount I needed I found this website and found it for way cheaper than at any store. [...] I saved over $100. It [...] was easy to install. Very pleased!!!
Inexpensive home theater
Happy User from Saint Petersburg, FL
If you are looking for an inexpensive way to mount your TV to the wall and enjoy viewing it, look no further. I have a 32" LCD TV weighing in at about 50 lbs. with standardized VESA mounting holes. This mount fit and has plenty of weight capacity. I decided I needed some tilt capability but did not require the unit to rotate from side to side. This mounting screws into a single vertical wall stud, which is fine for a light weight application such as mine. Once mounted, the TV is easily removed for access to wiring, etc. The parts were all included, instructions were easy to follow, the mounting was very trouble free and only took about an hour start to finish. If you do not have one already then be sure to invest in a stud finder as it is imperative that your screws are placed in the center of the wall stud to ensure a secure attachment to the wall. For about $60 you cannot go wrong. And the TV on the wall is a killer look.
Great for iMac
I'm a Mac, not a PC! from Boston, MA – Verified Buyer
Used to mount my 24" iMac in livingroom. I have 4 small kids and this has made my iMac much safer for them to be around. Easy to install. Used vesa bracket on back of mac. Took ~30min to install. Most of time spent looking for studs in wall!
Great quality
Qualuedtke from Lincoln, Nebraska – Verified Buyer
Very sturdy mount, well made, and comes with a variety of fasteners for different situations. I could find nothing to complain about on this product.
Not for LCD/DVD Combos
Niko from Dallas, TX.
I bought this mount for my 32" LCD/DVD combo but it was not a fit. Instead I used it on my daughters 27" plasma and it worked quite well. Only issue is the that the knobs to tighten the tilt are hard to use once the TV is mounted.
Great Mount
SD from NY – Verified Buyer
It does not fit, now the 30 days are up.

I did not install right away and now the 30 days are up. The bracket did not fit the 37" Vizio LCD. [@][@]

- Technology from Autonomy, an HP Company, enables transparent, efficient records management with lowered risk and costs
PALO ALTO, California, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Autonomy, an HP company, today announced that the State of Oregon has selected HP TRIM as the cornerstone of a cloud-based records management system that will allow state, city and county agencies to manage, secure and provide access to digital and physical documents.
Called Oregon Records Management Solution (ORMS), the cloud-based system is the result of a unique public-private collaboration between Autonomy, Chaves Consultingand Arikkan, utilizing HP TRIM to implement the first statewide electronic records management solution of its kind in the country. ORMS implements HP TRIM in the cloud as part of a Software-as-a-Service solution to make access to government records easier, more transparent, and affordable.
Currently a pilot program, ORMS will provide agencies with the ability to manage records in an efficient, uniform manner and save money on storage, risk and litigation costs. ORMS will allow agencies to comply with Oregon public records law for scheduled notification of automated retention and destruction of records. In addition, ORMS will support eDiscovery projects when legal teams must produce and review large volumes of information. Currently, over 700 employees across 11 city, county and state agencies have used ORMS with HP TRIM to manage more than 1 million documents during the pilot program.
The pilot program originated in the office of the Oregon Secretary of State, which used HP TRIM to manage its digital and physical records. Before using HP TRIM, employees had to go through back-up tapes, emails and file servers to satisfy public records requests. With HP TRIM, requests are processed exponentially faster. For example, a request for the 80,000 emails generated by the Secretary of State since taking office took 90 seconds to fulfill, instead of days. ORMS pilot agencies are experiencing similar benefits, for example requests for public documents that used to take a week to process now take 30 seconds.
"We realized that the benefits we experienced at the Secretary of State's office could be broadened to encompass every city, county and state agency in Oregon," said Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown. "And since agencies access ORMS on a per-user basis, the smallest agencies can have the same transformative public records management as organizations with thousands of employees and larger budgets. ORMS with HP TRIM truly levels the playing field when it comes to managing public records."
"Most state archivists don't manage information until after documents have been created and used, but that process is cumbersome and does not work very well," said Mary Beth Herkert, archivist, State of Oregon. "HP TRIM lets us pivot to a front-end management solution where the records are managed as they are created."
In addition to the Secretary of State's Office, pilot agencies include: Oregon Department of Energy; Oregon Department of Human Services; Public Utility Commission; Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District; and the cities of Beaverton, Dundee, Hillsboro, Milwaukie and West Linn. In addition, the cities of St. Helens and Lebanon, as well as Tillamook County, have come on board as early adopters.
The Secretary of State's office anticipates more agencies coming on board once the pilot program is over. There is also a federal grant in play for bringing all of the current Oregon governor's records online as well as sharing technologies with the State of Washington.
Because ORMS is cloud-based, there are no up-front infrastructure costs. It also offers a smaller IT footprint and reduced equipment, power and facilities expenses. ORMS fulfills agencies' needs for records management hardware, software, training and support without the requirement of an up-front investment.
"Government agencies are under a lot of pressure, as the public expects their agencies to be working efficiently and cost effectively, while agencies are constantly having their resources cut and are now expected to do more with less," said Neil Araujo, general manager, Enterprise Content Management, Autonomy, an HP Company. "Implementing a records management solution like HP TRIM that is purpose-built to do the heavy lifting is an ideal way for government agencies to ratchet up efficiencies while still complying with state law."

I think we have found the unifying thread on the President's recess appointments yesterday. He did not decide to make appointments on key financial regulatory positions, like OCC or FDIC or the Federal Reserve, and some worry that those nominees will now get blocked from confirmation as a result, though they are seen as uncontroversial. The President reserves the right to make those appointments later, but if he's fed up with Senate obstructionism, why not rip the band-aid off now?
The reason is pretty clear. The President is making a distinction between nominees who the various agencies can do without for a spell and nominees whose seating is crucial to the functioning of the agency. The CFPB would not have full regulatory powers without a seated director, including the ability to regulate non-bank financial institutions. Some conservatives are making the argument that a reading of the Dodd-Frank law, which birthed the CFPB, demands that said director be confirmed by the Senate, but that impression is created through the sin of omission, and while the argument may be possible colorable, it's highly unlikely that a judge would make a distinction between a recess and a regular-order appointment in that matter. So CFPB activates its non-bank authority through the seating of Richard Cordray.
Similarly, the NLRB appointments protect the survival of the NLRB itself. With Craig Becker's previous (recess) appointment running out, the agency was left on January 1 with only two members of a five-member panel. The Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that the board could not conduct business or issue binding rulings without a quorum. So by denying any confirmations, Republicans were essentially stopping all labor law in America from being enforced. Becker got a recess appointment to prevent this circumstance in 2010. You probably notice a pattern here.
So that's the dividing line for the Administration, as Kevin Drum explains.
if these are the only recess appointmentments [sic] he fills, then he's making a very clear, very defensible constitutional point. He's not merely complaining that a Senate minority is blocking his nominees. He's arguing that it's wrong for a Senate minority to shut down entire agencies — agencies that have been duly created by statute — by abusing its appointment power […] This is a point worth making, even if it's arcane enough that it's unlikely to get much public attention. Because to the extent that it does get public attention, it's nothing but bad news for Republicans. They'll be forced to defend a strategy of using their filibuster power not to stop legislation they don't like, but to unilaterally nullify legislation they don't like even after they've lost the vote and it's been passed and signed into law. That's going to be a hard case to make.
Thus these recess appointments can be reasonably seen as a middle ground between doing nothing and going nuclear by appointing every vacant position throughout the government. The President stays on solid rhetorical ground by accusing Republicans of blocking agency functionality and demanding that "we can't wait" to act.
None of this will have much applicability in any legal fights that follow, though we probably won't see them until CFPB or NLRB issues a ruling and that entity sues because the ruling was only possible through an "unconstitutional appointment." That would be a far better argument for standing than just having the Senate sue, which is why the Chamber of Commerce has been more aggressive on the subject of litigation. They will argue that the recess appointment power has been abused because Congress was technically still in session. The 11th Circuit ruling on these matters back in 2004 fell on the side of the executive, ruling that the Constitution "does not establish a minimum time that an authorized break in the Senate must last to give legal force to the President's appointment power under the Recess Appointments Clause." The Supreme Court refused to review that case, so it's the precedent right now. Of course, with this SCOTUS, you never know.

Title: Shade tolerant vines for Mobile AL
Answered by: Brigid & Larry Larson
QUESTION:I am looking for an evergreen vine that will thrive in the shade in hot and humid south Alabama. I plan to plant on a trellis. A flowering vine would be even better.
You're in luck! Hot & humid Alabama has several flowering native vines that will grow in shade. I went to the Recommended List for Alabama, chose "Vines" as habit and "Partial Shade & Shade" as Light Requirement – and it returned these six choices.
Bignonia capreolata (Crossvine)
Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina jessamine)
Lonicera sempervirens (Coral honeysuckle)
Passiflora incarnata (Purple passionflower)
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper)
Wisteria frutescens (American wisteria)
If you honestly meant full shade [<2 hours sun] then Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) and Wisteria frutescens (American wisteria) are still capable of thriving in that amount of light.
You may want to also consider the vines climbing habit in addition to the kind and amount of blooms they produce. For instance, Purple passionflower is famed for spreading aggressivly by root suckers. There are also several choices as to whether the vine grows into its support or attaches itself to it in some manner. All good things to consider before your choice is in the ground and growing vigorously.
