A Potter's Monumental Inspiration
Ceramic Artist Kate Malone Comes Home to London for Her First Solo Show
In the cool of her brand new studio in a mews at the back end of Islington in north London, potter Kate Malone introduces me to her latest pots. Six massive shapes wrapped in cling film rise from the floor: rotund, curvaceous, one shaped like a fennel bulb with an elegant slender neck, another like a Russian doll, yet another plumped and segmented like a swollen gourd. Ms. Malone moves between them, opening her arms to describe and embrace their forms, as if she can summon them through sheer force of will and imagination out from the ground.
'I have to grow them. That's the adventure. ...—I want to visualize something I cannot see.''
But of course hand-building pots, as Ms. Malone does, on this scale, is a long and technically difficult process. They proceed at a rate of three inches a day, each sausage of T-material clay carefully shaped, smoothed and joined seamlessly to the body beneath. And this is only the start. Once the basic forms are complete, Ms. Malone will embark on the sculptural enhancements—the handles, leaves, stalks, petals, seeds, seals or flowers—which, once prepared, she pinches into place like pastry, and which give her pieces so much of their vital energy. Despite the careful drawings pinned to the wall behind her, the pots change shape and character along the way: "The transition from 2D drawing into 3D vessel form is always shocking. I have to grow them. That's the adventure, that's why I keep making things—I want to visualize something I cannot see."
Ms. Malone, 51 years old, is one of Britain's foremost ceramic artists. Her frank, joyful organic forms, with their rich decoration and sumptuous glazes, are instantly recognizable and can be found in major private and public collections throughout the country and abroad. Besides making pots of all sizes for sale and on commission, Ms. Malone is well-known too for her work in public spaces and is currently embarking on an architectural project in Brighton at the Jubilee Children's Library. Ms. Malone's work is on the school syllabus, and her commitment to the encouragement and education of nascent potters is generous and passionate.
The monumental pots I encountered in her London studio are destined for a solo show opening at the gallery of Robilant + Voena on Nov. 3. This is the first big exhibition of her work in seven years, though she has exhibited widely at art fairs and in group shows. As well as an opportunity to exhibit new work—besides the monumental pieces, there will be 25 smaller, studio-sized pieces representing, as Ms. Malone describes it, "an autumn harvest of nuts and berries, acorns, pumpkins, gourds, fennel, atomics and seeds"—this show celebrates Ms. Malone's homecoming to London.
For while Ms. Malone has created the large pots entirely in London, the smaller pots were all built in Barcelona, where three months earlier I had seen them ranged on shelves in a very different studio, down a back street in the old La Ribera district. For eight years Ms. Malone worked in that studio, just round the corner from the beautiful medieval church, Santa Maria del Mar. Always a traveler—Ms. Malone, her partner Graham Inglefield and their 13-year-old daughter, Scarlet, travel adventurously for at least two months of every year—and with a house in the heart of the Var, in the south of France, the family came to Barcelona eight years ago primarily for Scarlet's education. "The reason we came wasn't anything to do with work—but now, of course, I realize it was obvious to come. In Barcelona I have been at my most productive ever."
It is almost laughable, indeed, as we navigate the city together, how at almost every turn there is an architectural detail or burst of natural growth that seems invented for Ms. Malone's delight. It is not just the overwhelming presence of Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), whose ecstatic pursuit of the life force in all his architecture has a clear parallel in Ms. Malone's own vibrant organic forms, but older buildings too. The ornate curling tops on some 19th-century gate posts have combined with the extravagant palm trees on every boulevard to inspire a large platter; the roofline of the central post office shares with Ms. Malone a daring with scale and proportion; the tree above the doorway of Santa Maria del Mar has inspired new pot lids—("Of course, I've just realized it's the top of that bloody door!")—while the twist and swing of flamenco dresses has given a Spanish flourish to Ms. Malone's newest pumpkin stalk handles. Inside Gaudí's La Sagrada Família the surging upward thrust of the pillars, shaped more like celery stalks than the classical columns favored by more conventional architects, captures a raw energy of nature that can still shock today. As Ms. Malone describes her own creative impulse: "What I chase is putting my finger on the pulse or flow of nature."
Ms. Malone is very aware that the true impact of Barcelona may only emerge many years down the line: "Currently, I am pulling stuff in from everywhere: fashion, Sevres porcelain, Indian temples, plastic toys, the drawings of William Morris, the work of Danish potter Axel Salto, Japanese Bizen ware, the designs of Zandra Rhodes..."
Ms. Malone's scrapbooks travel everywhere with her, filled with drawings, notes and cuttings, while the walls of her studios are tacked with further sketches and photographs, and there is no single formula for the intuitive unconscious process through which these ideas become embodied in a series of pots. What Ms. Malone is conscious of, however, is that leaving London for a life lived partly in France, partly in Barcelona, "has made me slow up and think more deeply. I'd never lived in the country before, so moving to France made me feel more deeply real nature, the earth, if you like. It was going on walks with the dog in France and picking things out of the hedgerow—things became more figurative and less symbolic. In London, I was thinking more abstractly about nature."
If these new experiences are partly responsible for the intense, sympathetic liveliness of her latest vegetable forms—the curling fern fronds sprung with new life, the garlic bulbs plump with potential, the giant blackberries bursting with juice—another decisive contribution comes from Ms. Malone's magnificent glazes. Ever since she was a student in Bristol and then at the Royal College of Art in London, Ms. Malone has experimented constantly with glazes, pursuing a wide range of colors in both opaque glazes, which produce the dazzling crystals that often animate her pots, and transparent glazes, which enhance the smooth forms she has created. Ms. Malone has always glazed her work back in London, shipping back biscuit-fired work so that this most vital process can be undertaken in her own kiln, the largest private kiln in London.
This autumn Ms. Malone is working with a new palette of colors: "the colors of nature—various tones of greens, honeys, mushroom browns, darker browns, turquoise, quite a few whites and creams, and a new use of blues.... I have been researching around 150 new shades of these colors, and have started to use them on this work."
It is also the first time that Ms. Malone has felt confident enough to leave some pots entirely white. For me, however, it is the blues, in all their subtle variety, that mark a new phase in her work. These introduce a note of moving thoughtfulness, balancing mastery of effect with maturity of judgment, to add to the rich celebration of life in all its colors that has always been there.

Re: Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook in response to skippyhippy
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the
update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it.
Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've
2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system
software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through
other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other
interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below)
from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use
the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
6. Follow instructions.
E. If updating:
1. Download and install update(s)
2. Use Software Update, or
3. Download standalone updater(s).

Re: Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook in response to Kappy
Do I need to do all this even if my computer is working perfectly fine with the v10.5.8? Why would I need to Repair Disk?
Kappy Apr 28, 2013 3:42 PM
Re: Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my MacBook in response to skippyhippy
No, you don't need to do any of it. That's your option. I just provide the best method for finishing with a properly functioning upgrade to Snow Leopard. You wish to omit parts then be my guest. My feelings won't be hurt.
You repair the disk because if it's damaged or corrupted then your upgrade will fail and possibly all your files will be lost.

Videos: Inside The 2014 Rolls-Royce WraithWritten by Alan Caruso
The Rolls-Royce Wraith, the first incarnation of which was initially produced in 1938, is set to make a return to the roads after more than 70 years on hiatus. As the vehicle is completely outfitted with luxurious new features, the product manager Phillip Harnett takes viewers on a tantalizing trip down the sweeping roads of London's outer country from behind the wheel of the Wraith. Here we find the 625hp car executed with road-curve foresight, as informed by its acute GPS navigation; able to maintain its poise in the harshest conditions – thanks to testing in Sweden and Death Valley; and fitted with seamless automatic gear shifting for urban driving. In combination with a handcrafted leather, chrome, and wooden interior, the impressive Rolls-Royce Wraith is certainly its own spectacle. Enjoy.

Art & Design: Ro ArmchairWritten by Nikki Davalos
It's not quite as angular as most modern seating, but it's also a little more inviting. Named for the Danish word for tranquility, the Ro Armchair ($2,550 USD) features a curvy, sculptural design from Spanish designer Jaime Hayon that provides both comfort and privacy. The seat is 1.5 times as wide as your standard chair, giving you extra room to stretch and move, or sit your tablet/book/kid/laptop next to you. It'll be available in September at select retailers and comes in nine colors, broken down into traditional (black, grey, and taupe), bright (violet, blue, and yellow), and soft (light pink, sage green, and sand).

News: Tiger Reclaims Highest-Paid AthleteWritten by Alan Caruso
Tiger Woods, whose four wins this season have seen him return to the top of golf's world rankings, is also back on top of Forbes' list of highest-paid sports figures. An article posted on the magazine's website this week gives the rundown of the 2013 list, which will appear in the June 24th issue. Woods had topped the Forbes list from 2001-2011 — staying there despite the loss of some sponsors in the wake of the sex scandal that engulfed him in November of 2009. But he fell to third last year, behind boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Forbes calculates he is back on top, raking in $78.1 million over the 12 months from June 1, 2012 through June 1, 2013 from prize money, endorsements, appearance fees and golf course design work.

Videos: 2014 Bentley Continental Flying SpurWritten by Anthony Jeselnik
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur was always hampered by one thing – no, I'm not talking about VW Phaeton's platform, because that was excellent and gave the driver huge confidence. The thing that hampered the car was the fact it was called Continental, meaning it shared a lot in common with its (cheaper) two-door sibling the Continental GT – it was a version of that model with two extra doors. Now, though, the new model has gained a more distinct body and a new name - the Flying Spur full stop. MotorTrend magazine flew all the way to China to find out what the new Flying Spur is all about. Enjoy.

Picture: Jay-Z New York Premiere of 'American Gangster' at the Apollo Theater in Harlem New York City, USA - 19.10.07
Hip-hop artist Jay-Z could be set to follow U2 and Madonna in signing a multi-million dollar deal with concert promoter Live Nation.
Reports from the states claimed on Thursday that the 38-year-old rapper is set to agree a $150 million (£75 million) contract with Live Nation.
According to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal among others, the deal would encompass almost every aspect of Jay-Z's career.
Last month Live Nation announced a similar deal with U2, although the rock group's recording rights were left with Universal.
Reports on the mooted Jay-Z deal say the contract will cover the next decade and involve a $25 million (£12.5 million) upfront fee and then $10 million (£5 million) per album.
The deal will reportedly create Jay-Z's own music venture Roc Nation which will incorporate publishing, licensing and other rights.
The New York Times quoted the singer, real name Shawn Carter, as saying he was the "Rolling Stones of hip-hop".
Jay-Z would have to end his association with Def Jam for the deal to go ahead, although the rapper is still contracted for one more album with the record label.

Jûsan-nin no shikaku (2010)
Thundering Shogun!
This film was a dark-edged delight from beginning to end when I saw it at the 2010 edition of TIFF. The audience there loved it too, breaking out into spontaneous applause during several scenes.
Solid direction by Miike, great characters, beautifully shot and simply some of the best and most intense action sequences put on film - ever! It does have it's obvious influences, such as Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", but damn, this one kicks ass mightily! You've never seen Shogun like this! And something else to point out: the sound on this film was thundering, shaking and stellar! THIS is the kind of film that reminds us why we go to a movie theatre to enjoy a film on a big screen, why we turn off our cell phones and immerse ourselves in the experience of cinema-going, as opposed to staying home on our couches.
I'll go see it again on the big screen when it hopefully returns to town - you can bet on that!
L'homme qui voulait vivre sa vie (2010)
One of TIFF 2010's best!
I saw this film at the 2010 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, and it was a pleasant surprise.
Great performances, tightly directed, and a very compelling storyline, in addition to a being beautifully shot and using some great Magnum Photos in the film as part of the main character's unexpected shift into a new world and a new life.
Based on the American writer Douglas Kennedy's acclaimed book of the same name, but changed to a Euro setting, director Eric Lartigau easily shows how European filmmakers can take the themes of murder, obsession and identity to new artistic heights, while also giving us one of the best thrillers of 2010. It's a thriller as cinematic art as only the Europeans can do.
The film might not have gotten as much attention as other films at TIFF 2010, but it definitely should. I truly hope it gets a wider release here in Canada and elsewhere.
Seek it out. Decidedly worthwhile.
Es geschah am hellichten Tag (1958)
Calling Criterion...
I became curious about this one after realizing that this was a film based on the same source material as a later adaptation directed by Sean Penn and starring Jack Nicholson, Robin Wright, Benicio del Toro and Aaron Eckhart.
Penn's version is a very bleak, disturbing film with Jack Nicholson actually disappearing into the role of the main detective character, something he so rarely does these days. The unrelenting gloom of the film was probably what made it less palpable for audiences at the time of its release. I have to wonder if that atmosphere of despair was taken from the book, or simply inserted by Penn in his adaptation of the screenplay.
This version from the late 50's is nonetheless a very effective thriller in its own way, with great performances and very well directed. Gert Frobe (Goldfinger) gives a very chilling portrait of the killer, while Heinz Ruhmann as Detective Matthai is excellent too, and carries the film well.
It's simply one of those solid and well-done black and white thrillers from an earlier era that slips under the wire, and that should be rediscovered again by contemporary audiences. Criterion! Check this one out!
Requiem per un agente segreto (1966)
great title, so-so film...but still kinda fun!
While this movie can't be considered a classic due to its low-budget and uneven acting, it does have an appeal for me, in some strange way. Stewart Granger is all smiles and morally corrupt in his actions, but there's something about his character that makes you wonder where he originated from and what set him on the path to being the bastard that he is at an older age, compared to his younger compatriots. When he does unleash that smile upon hearing about an offer of more money to do a job, you can't help but laugh at his smarmy style.
He's like the dark side of espionage...something the genre of spy films rarely recognizes as a possibility, in that any man in such a world doesn't need any morals, he just needs finances to get the job done, whatever it may be. This is also something verbally acknowledged by those who hire him for the job early in the film. They don't want an upstanding citizen or agent...his actually being a bastard is what makes him right for the task, because those he faces are just as bad!
The title, while connected to events in the film, is also saying something about the whole genre of spy films at that time; that these men, being a Bourne, a Bond or whomever, can't always be doing the right thing for the right reasons, and that such films as a whole are more often about assassins and men of violence than those of noble and misunderstood heroes. (and yet, there is a touch of nobility and honor to his character in the film, too)
Maybe that's reading more into what is essentially a low-budget take on the popular espionage films of the 60's, but I think the film has a better script, and some decent enough dialogue, to make it hard to ignore completely. And Stewart Granger is a delight to watch as a gray-haired, older anti-hero spy-for-hire.
The Abominable Snowman (1957)
Go Yeti!
I just stumbled across a copy of this film recently on DVD, and consider it a very good find.
Since a kid, I've had a (somewhat) continuing fascination with Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman, etc. However, this is the first time I've come across a film that treats the subject intelligently, and with more thought than just providing a simple scare. This film was well acted, written (intelligently so) and directed, and created a genuine sense of suspense, and maintained an eerie mood throughout. You don't see the creatures full-on, but that's to the film's benefit and better over-all effect to those watching, especially in the almost film noir use of black and white photography.
This is no cheap monster quickie, or faux documentary (though I like some of those too), and though fairly low budget, it's still good.
So basically, I'd have to say this is the best film about the Abominable Snowman (or Bigfoot-like creature) I've seen. Like the Yeti...seek it out!
Seven Sinners (1940)
that Dietrich look....
I've seen this film a number of times on late-night TV, and quite enjoyed it, especially Marlene Dietrich. Go figure.
The story is all fun...kind of a South Seas version of "Destry Rides Again"....mixed moments of comedy and drama.
But the scene that gets me, and literally makes me always want to watch this film over and over again, is the one scene where Dietrich and Wayne are flirting with one another somewhere outside her home, and Dietrich is just looking at Wayne with a "oh yeah, we're gonna hook up tonight" look (for want of a better term) that would make any sane man melt. She's also so beautifully lit up and photographed, and the light in her eyes glowing with desire....sigh. It comes across as such a genuinely captured moment of desire on film, that it makes you wish you were in the Duke's shoes at that moment (he does indeed look happy to be there himself). Considering there are reports they in fact had an affair and spent time together around and after the making of this film, you can easily imagine and believe that it is indeed just that.
Les petits chats (1965)
an intriguing clip....
I've only seen a clip/trailer on one of the Something Weird videos as a bonus feature on their 'Chained Girls/Daughters of Lesbos' DVD, but it looked quite beautifully shot, even though it seems there's no trace of the entire film to be found anywhere otherwise. The trailer was almost hypnotic with the narrator repeating: "The Wild Roots of Love. The Wild Roots of Love. The Wild Roots of Love."
Very bizarre stuff. I'd love to see the whole thing. Maybe the film will eventually come out.
If you come across that SW DVD, be sure to take a look at "The Wild Roots of Love. The Wild Roots of Love. The Wild Roots of Love."
Tagebuch einer Verlorenen (1929)
wonderful silence, and pace adjusted...
I stumbled on this flick on a late-night Canadian French channel, and became quite enamoured with it - partly due to the story, the way it unfolded, but more so with Louise Brooks. She looks fantastic, her smile (when it actually appears in this somewhat melodramatic film) so captivating. But even the characters around her were fascinating too, and the way they were filmed.
It seems to me that with current technology, we can watch a silent movie like this now adjusted to what we understand to be a movement of characters to a pace more like our own, not the slightly quickened pace that we're used to seeing in silent films. I haven't seen the film in its original form, so I can't make an accurate assessment as to whether it unspools a bit more quickly simply due to projectors of the era, or the way it was filmed - the point is this: watching a movie such as this Pabst classic now adjusted to a more realistic pace does seem to make one appreciate them more in a strangely contemporary context. Though we still note the differences in clothing and appearance of the people, they all seem more identifiable somehow. But I swear, I spent a few minutes wondering if I had stumbled onto a contemporary silent-film imitation of some type! Oops!
I experienced something similar recently when watching a screening of Murnau's "Sunrise" - the film and its characters somehow transcended their era. Though part of me wonders if that film also had its pacing adjusted technologically, there was a human dimension to it that made me push aside any preconceived notions of silent cinema and just enjoyed it as a tale well told, beautifully filmed, and amazingly acted. This film has the same effect - though I think it was actually I who transcended my era by experiencing it.
From Russia with Love (1963)
the best Bond film...
This particular Bond flick will always be my favourite.
I don't think I need to elaborate too much on this film, as others have done, but suffice it to say this one captures the most Cold War feel of the series than any other of the films, and does it amazingly well before the films became a bit more fantastic in plots and situations. Great villains and action sequences - it's all there.
And the fight scene between Connery and Shaw still holds up as one of the most intense, exciting punch-ups in any of the Bond films. If that one scene didn't hugely influence the fight scenes in the "Bourne" series (amongst others), I'll eat my hat.
To me, this is THE Bond classic.
Thunderball (1965)
one scene stands out...
...of many, of course.
Many other reviewers have written about this film in various capacities, but let me offer my own take by highlighting one scene that made me laugh and yet was perfectly in keeping with Connery's take on the Bond character.
In the card-playing scene with Largo, Bond manages to beat him at cards several times, whereas Largo states: "You seem unbeatable, Mr. Bond." What does Bond say? Nothing. He just puts on a smirk and waves his hand as if it's a given. Bloody brilliant. The scene stood out upon watching the film in the new special editions that came out recently. Having seen the movie many times before, it was just one scene that illuminated Connery's mastery of the character in this particular brilliant Bond flick.

text: Posted 1 Oct 2012 Told you guys this team wasn't built to win in today's league. While pass rush has improved, the d line still can't fill the gaps against the run and the secondary is absolutely awful. Norman is only playing as well as a 5th round rookie possibly can, which is not nearly good enough, and really the only player we have in the back four that any competent team would be willing to start is Gamble. Godfrey is nowhere near worth the money he's earning, and Nakamura is god awful. Just god awful. Unbelievable with the need for better safeties how we whiffed on the chance to pick up Landry for only 4 million. The running game is bloated with too much talent and not enough opportunity for each to contribute and earn their pay. On a good rushing day our white elephant running backs barely eclipse double digits in rushing attempts. Meanwhile Michael Turner proves just like Andre Brown did ten days ago that less is more with more all purpose yards than "DOUBLETRUBBBLLEEZZ" or "TRIPLETHREATSZZ" or whatever the fug you running game fetishists are calling our backfield at this point. 4th season in a row starting 1-3 or worse. Not really a characteristic of a consistent winner. The losing spell continues until Hurney has an epiphany that causes him to re-evaluate his prioritization of where to invest in talent on this team, or is replaced with someone who already possesses that wisdom. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you know about DNA? Want to know more? Be entertained while you learn and pick up this book! Kean covers everything from how DNA works and how scientists sequence it to the many controversies studying DNA has contributed to. Do cat hoarders have altered DNA that compels them to keep kitties? How do mutations happen, and what do they mean? What scientists have been overlooked for their groundbreaking research, and which ones may have gone a bit too far? With an extensive "Notes and Errata" section that expands on stories and points you to other places to dig if you want to find out more, this book is a great introduction to the importance and workings of DNA for the nonscientist.

Dear Readers:
I've written aplenty about testosterone: for instance, the then-new research demonstrating that high testosterone does not make a male a winner as much as winning makes a male's testosterone high; and the current vogue for prescribing T for everything formerly ascribed, with a shrug and a sigh, to "getting older." I've taught a bunch about hormones, describing estrogen with its touch-and smell-sensitivity enhancing, "receptive" sexuality-producing qualities as the "fuck me hormone," leaving chin-jutting, bad-boy testosterone to be described, inevitably, as the "fuck you" hormone. I've also been quick to explain that that's a joke, son, and to debunk that characterization, emphasizing that women have and need T as much as men do (if in lower quantities), and that aggressive men do not turn out to have higher levels than their meeker brethren. Without testosterone, nobody gets laid not even lesbians.
And then recently we took the kids to the children's museum and I insisted that, naps and lunch be damned, we had to be in the car for the broadcast (actually a rerun) of This American Life's testosterone episode. (Hear it for yourself at www.thislife.org, Episode 220.) You could skip producer Alex Blumberg's introduction about coming of age while feeling guilty for even having testosterone, due to an early (and entirely uncalled-for) reading of Marilyn French's "seminal" feminist potboiler The Women's Room (Ballantine, 1988). Just don't miss the segment on the man with no T (Act One: "Life at Zero") which will, in a mere seven minutes, turn everything you think you know about testosterone on its head. The interviewee, who had written an anonymous piece for GQ, developed an unspecified, rapid onset condition that shut down his T production entirely. But before he got a diagnosis, he simply ... ceased wanting. Anything.
We know that T supplies the drive for sex and possibly for success, but with absolutely none in this guy's system, he had no drive for anything. He stared at the wall, un-driven to get up. He could live on Wonder Bread spread with Miracle Whip and want nothing else, although he didn't particularly want that, either. Everything looked beautiful because he lacked the will to judge it as anything else. He didn't bother trying to see his girlfriend. He became, in short, a sort of bodhisattva, but without any sense of spiritual enlightenment evolved, but in a meaningless way. An enlitened being, if you will. He sounded relieved, yet a bit let down to be reconnected, via supplementation, to the world of drives and wants and needs and giving a shit, rather the way people who have near-death experiences often describe resisting the pull to return to their heavy, duty-bound corporeal selves. An amazing story, implying as it does that without T life is, if not precisely not worth living, not worth caring about whether one lives it or not.
More familiar but in some ways equally startling was the interview with transman Griffin Hansbury, who, at the time, had entirely enough or possibly too much T in his system enough to fuel a few bar fights and an inappropriate remark or two to a female coworker. Hansbury started out, like pretty much every F2M I've known, as a women's collegeattending, women's studiesstudying, "Take Back the Night"type womyn's wummin, and ended up ... a pig. He is honest and extremely funny, describing how under the influence of massive amounts of T, he started dogging women around and getting turned on literally by the piston action of passing machinery. He said stupid stuff. He offended people; and moreover, felt entitled to do so.

Drug-addicted Porn)

Tina...I love to fuck with my gf in the bath but prefer the shower as there is more room to manover and being an enclosed shower cubical the steam is so invigorating and with my gf's hands on the wall leaning against it I can fuck her doggy and cup her cute little tits at the same time. After i cum we wash each other and dry off then we go to the bedroom for some oral.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Michael DavisIt hasn't been used as a school in more than 70 years, but the home of what used to be the Locust Grove Institute will soon be back in the education business. Clayton College & State University will begin offering night classes at Locust Grove City Hall as soon as January, school officials said. The classes would be limited at first but university officials hope to grow the program over time. The city council earlier this month gave the school tentative permission to use the Community Room, a large, open space in the back of city hall to help establish the school's ties to Locust Grove. "It has been my job to follow up on the initial work of our President Dr. (Thomas) Harden and Provost Dr. (Sharon) Hoffman to spearhead an effort to establish a new satellite center in Locust Grove," said Clayton State's Director of Academic Outreach, Dr. Mannie Hall. The two offerings will be a beginning math course and a beginning critical thinking course, Hall said. Both are part of the school's core curriculum and will likely attract freshman students. "We are also willing to explore workforce and continuing education populations, which will possibly attract more industry to Henry County and better serve, or educate, the existing industries," he said. Locust Grove Institute was built in 1894 and opened with 13 students and two instructors, according to a chamber of commerce publication. It was closed in the early 1930s and a few years later, reopened as Locust Grove City Hall. They felt like if they could just get a temporary place to house some classes, they could feel Locust Grove out,? said Mayor Lorene Lindsey. ?I think in Locust Grove, the way we?re situated, we?re right in the middle of the surrounding counties,? she said. Indeed, the city borders Butts County and is only minutes away from Spalding County. The nearest institute of higher learning for Henry?s southern-most city is CCSU?s Morrow campus. The next closest, besides Atlanta colleges, are Gordon College in Barnesville and Georgia College in Milledgeville. Hall said the university, for now, will only offer the core classes but hopes to expand in Locust Grove in the future. ?At first we are going to focus on offering core academic courses, although our goal in the future is to be able to offer an entire degree track and maybe even some graduate courses when we make that transition,? he said. The city has already taken steps that may help make that transition a reality. Executing a land swap with prominent developer Tanger Partners, LLC., the city gave the group more than 120 acres of land that had been part of the city?s land application system, or sewerage spray field, in exchange for 190 acres they had under contract closer to the interstate. ?There may be some use for that should we have a favorable decision from the board of regents regarding locating a campus here,? city attorney Andy Welch told the council Nov. 1. Tanger Partners had been hoping to develop a large residential subdivision on that property and more. The subdivision will go ahead, albeit elsewhere, but with state education budget shortages, it is not clear if or when the state education officials will give approval for any large-scale building projects. In October, the regents narrowly escaped the threat of a mid-year tuition hike by freeing up some $68 million to offset state budget cuts. But for now, the night classes are a go in the city?s hall, which is under renovation. In the past year, the city has spent thousands in upgrades and improvements to the building. Fresh paint and new floors allow for the expansion of city offices in space that was previously underutilized. Clayton State?s Hall said the university may work with the city to secure grants to allow access via elevator to the building?s upstairs auditorium, which is one of the last areas city officials hope to restore to the way it was. The auditorium, he said, would be an ideal location for theater classes.

Collaborative 'Idea Furnace' gets artists fired up
"The Idea Furnace," an exhibit that is the result of a six-month residency for glass and nonglass artists, recently opened at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, one of six organizations that has partnered with the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts for the 2014 Pittsburgh Biennial.
The glass center's executive director Heather McElwee selected seven artists to participate based on their creative reputation and paired them with five of the center's glass artists.
"Idea Furnace" provides support to artists working outside of the medium of glass and gives them an opportunity to explore a new material and create a body of work with the help of a glass artist and the Pittsburgh Glass Center.
"The project also challenges our glass artists to think more broadly about the material, to approach it in a new way and to find out-of-the-box solutions to complex design challenges," McElwee says.
For example, Jeremy Boyle, an assistant art professor at Clarion University, was invited to participate in the "Idea Furnace" residency even though he had no prior experience working with glass. With help from glass center artist Travis Rohrbaugh, Boyle created four untitled "glass birds."
"The glass center was very supportive, introducing me to processes and materials and giving me the space to think about my own practice in the context of a new medium," Boyle says, a sound artist and musician. "Once I had an idea for an approach, I was paired with Travis Rohrbaugh to develop a process to realize my ideas. Travis very generously shared his expertise and time as we worked to figure out the best way to make the work."
On display in the glass center's Hodge Gallery, the four pieces feature small circuits built directly on drilled glass, with each circuit synthesizing a bird-like chirping sound in random patterns.
"My initial idea was to build circuits that would be musical in nature, maybe chime-like in sound," Boyle says. "As I worked with Travis, I was influenced by his thoughts around flight and airplanes — and shifted my sound toward flight as well, thinking about birds."
Making the small glass circuits was a tedious and time-consuming process, Boyle says, requiring more than 200 holes to be precisely drilled in the glass. "Not to mention the hundreds of misdrilled holes and cracked glass along the way," he says.
Through the time working on this project, Boyle says he began thinking about other possible smaller works. "I was interested in making something kinetic," he says. "I became very aware of the qualities of light and shadow through the thin glass I was drilling."
This interest led Boyle to propose to Rohrbaugh that they work on something collaboratively, resulting in a glass propeller carefully mounted to a small motor. "I especially enjoyed this opportunity to pull together ideas, common interests and skills in different media into this collaborative work," Boyle says.
Rohrbaugh took this aviation-inspired idea even further to create "Wingman," a scale-model of an airplane made of assembled plate glass and blown glass.
Watercolorist Kara Skylling of Polish Hill found a way to make her collaborative piece, "Walking Past Looking Through," into a continuation of her work in drawing and painting.
Much like her linear, landscape-inspired watercolors, Skylling says, "I created deconstructed compositions using line, color and shape with a focus on process, repetition and material, while flattening space to emphasize the patterns of our urban landscape.
"I was excited to work in glass not only to explore the possibilities of a new and unfamiliar material but also to use a material that is so key to the field of architecture, especially post-modern design."
Skylling says working collaboratively with glass artist Margaret Spacapan and the Pittsburgh Glass Center was "highly rewarding."
"Their support and encouragement to think big and that anything was possible set a great jumping off point for the project," Skylling says. "There were times when it was challenging to be working with a completely unfamiliar material, but my partner Margaret at PGC understood my vision and was a huge help and inspiration throughout the whole process."
Primarily a printmaker, Robert Beckman, co-founder and director of Artist Image Resource, a printmaking facility on the North Side, says that he, too, gained a lot of insight from the glass-center experience.
"I went in thinking about three bodies of work that I had been developing, and two of them, a dictionary project and a portrait project, became the basis for the work exhibited," he says. "The work remains in progress, but I am pleased with this iteration, and the crew at the glass center has been great."
Glass artist Ashley McFarland helped Beckman create his "Configuration 3, July 24, 2014," which includes words and portraits in powdered glass created by pushing glass powder through printing screens (silkscreens) onto sheets of glass and firing them.
Powder was fused into each sheet from both sides, and the sheets were subsequently put into the kiln, one on top of the other, and fused. Words, definitions of words and photographic tracings of individuals were combined and positioned on the wall to create associations meant to prompt the viewer to create new meanings.
"If a culture truly values the work of the artist, it is essential that it provide resources for the artist," Beckman says. "The 'Idea Factory' model, a model that allows a resource organization to provide broad access for the exploration of ideas and creation of new work by diverse artists, is a great example of how we can express value for the artist by providing real support."

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Rex was an outstanding, personable, crowd-friendly DJ. He made our wedding reception flow well and very fun. He has great ideas that are executed smoothly. Thank you, Rex!
Rex of Tidewater Disc Jockeys was the BEST! He kept the party moving at just the right pace. He worked with my daughter and son-n-law so they would have just the type of wedding reception they wanted...and they did. Everyone (including the 80+ year olds) danced and had a great time right up to the end. Even the Williamsburg Winery was very, very impressed with Rex- and they see a lot of DJs. I also appreciated that we could understand him on the microphone and that he helped take movies for us. We will use Rex again for my second daughter's wedding this spring.
Rex did an awesome job at my wedding. I had many guest tell me I had the best wedding DJ they ever experienced. Rex let me know when everything was going to happen and even brought me water when we were taking pictures outside. Having Rex there made for a very stress free reception for my husband and I. I can't say enough good things about my reception music and our experience with Tidewater Disc Jockeys.
Great event, great DJ! Professional and friendly.
The DJ played all the music we requested at our wedding and made it a great reception.
Rex was amazing! He made my special day everything I wanted it to be and more. I didn't have to worry about anything, he handled everything very professionally! He made time to meet with me and my husband to make sure we were on the same page about every little detail so it could be just right. All of my guests are still asking me about him and commenting on how great he was. I would recommend their service to everyone!!!
Awesome job! We can't believe this was just a "homebrew option." We received so many comments from all ages. He even incorporated music that we wanted at the last minute. Too bad that this has to end so soon :-(...we will definitely recommend you all!
So professional Read the crowd so well. We had a fabulous time........worth every penny!
My sister and I both used Rex as our DJ for our wedding reception. We love his enthusiasm and his ability to entertain a crowd. He listens to your ideas and delivers exactly what you want on your wedding day. I love the service that Tidewater DJ provides and the entire staff is very friendly and committed to proving you the best music and entertainment that the whole group will love. I stronly recommend them for your next event.
all of my guests commented on how great the DJ was. He and his assistant made the reception fun and it flowed well. Their personalities and actions were just what I was looking for, a fun and happy party!
Rex is very professional and wonderful. He puts on a great experience for all the guests and trys to make your day more special.
Rex was fabulous. He kept the party going and our guests enjoyed his savvy and professionalism.
One of the very best DJ services I have ever seen. Rex has performed at both of our daughter's reception and he was excellent both times. He manages the reception and you sit back and enjoy - Fred & Eileen Sundstrom
Rex is an amazing DJ, I can not tell you how many of our wedding guests commented across the evening about how much fun they were having and how the music that was being played was keeping them partying! I would HIGHLY recommend Tidewater DJ's and especially Rex for anyone who is looking for the best in wedding music! They are the BEST!!!
Tidewater Disc Jockeys (Rex) have provided the entertainment at the wedding receptions of our two daughters in the past year. Save yourself some money because you won't need a wedding planner to orchestrate your reception - Rex did that and coordinated with the reception staff. I can't begin to tell you how 'blown away' the guests were and they couldn't stop talking about what a great job Tidewater DJs did and all the fun they had. If you want the best reception and a memorable time look no further than Rex.
The Rexpert is totally worth any extra expense for a wedding reception!! With 2 children getting married 7 weeks apart, my husband and I weren't exactly convinced that spending extra money on a great DJ package would really be worth it in the end. After 2 consultations with Rex we decided to take a chance and we hoped that we wouldn't be disappointed. We weren't. Nor were the bride and groom or any of the guests. Many guests throughout the evening told us that this was the BEST wedding reception they'd ever attended and wanted to know who the DJ was. From group hugs to love tunnels, the entertainment provided by Rex was outstanding and I highly recommend Tidewater DJ's for any future event where FUN is in order!!

Sixteen-year-old Sami has a lot to deal with when she moves with her mother to Scotland to turn a struggling family farm into a tourist farm. While her cousins want to tell her what a magical country Scotland is, Sami feels like a peasant without electricity. A group of eighth-grade girls I have been reading with likes this book because: (a) it is written like a diary; (b) theres a ghost; and (c) it has a hot guy.
What a cool story! Anyone who ever saw Jaws knows the true, harrowing story of the survivors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis who battled sharks in the South Pacific after their ship sank. What many – including me – did not know was that the navy blamed the captain of the ship, despite sailors' pleas that their captain was not to blame. Fifty years later, an 11-year-old boy's history project becomes a crusade to restore the captain's name. This book had everything, and I honestly caught myself turning pages before students were ready. The kind of book every teacher needs to read to inspire her students to write.
Acne is calamitous for just about every teenager, but for Olivia – an actress – it can spell the end of her career. Howse does a great job of addressing a number of teen issues without belittling them or judging them. Your girls, especially, will flock to this one.
I'm not someone who goes ga-ga for animals, but Bekoff's touching story will stimulate wonderful discussions among your students about how important animals are…and our importance, as humans, in treating animals with compassion and respect.
Great female protagonist in this thrilling time travel tale of a girl who discovers that the life she thinks she leads in the 1840s is really a tourist attraction for 1996.
I know a lot of stressed people who need to get off to a good start in 2005. This is the ultimate anti self-help book that celebrates butter and booze over diet and exercise. Read this book, and you just may live the life of Jack Nicholson instead of the dude in the American Gothic painting.
Great parable about learning leadership with some very practical reflective exercises. The principles learned by the authors as Air Force pilots provide an excellent reflective process for anyone determined to improve their leadership skills. I breezed through this book and dog-eared a bunch of pages.
Made into an Oliver Stone film with Tom Cruise in 1989, the book is pretty grim. If you're too lazy to read it now, check it out over Memorial Day next year. If you're still too lazy, rent the video at Blockbuster.
Let's just say that this book is about a girl who becomes a "wereowl" at night. Yes, it is a funny book, and there is a lot more depth to it than that. My students, especially the girls, love this book.
Middle-school science teachers will especially appreciate this book about an 11-year-old girl whose family lives in an extraordinary underground house. Great way to excite students about geology. Fantasy that is scientifically-based!
