I'm using the latest version of WordPress, freshly installed. However, I cannot add a link to images via the editor. I pull up the image's property screen, add a link in Link URL, click save...and then the change doesn't take.
I'm also seeing an error with double X's in the add link modal's exit button. The only JS error I see is in wp-tinymce.php: cannot read property style of null, repeated several times.
This issue happens with Twenty-Eleven freshly installed and no plugins. Help!

#2982 closed enhancement (duplicate)
[patch] allow replacing models.py with a subpackage models/__init__.py

|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
if you have a lot of models, or even a model hierarchy, one might want to convert the plain models.py into a package models/__init__.py.
However, the ModelBase class cannot cope with models in subpackages, since it always chooses the second-last module part as app name. This patch fixes this by looking for the module part before models.

comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by ubernostrum
I don't know offhand if it's documented anywhere (if it isn't we need to fix that), but splitting models up into files in a module actually works right now -- you just have to set the Meta option app_label to the name of the app, and make sure the __all__ statement in the module's __init__.py exports all the files you want to use.
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by Gary Wilson <gary.wilson@…>
There is some documentation at CookBookSplitModelsToFiles.
There used to be a small section in the old model_api docs, but that seems to have disappeared.
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@…>
I did not see the Meta.app_name setting. With the patch you don't need to set the Meta.app_name anymore. Just move the Models in a subpackage and be done.
And it would be nice to have the models-as-subpackage doc paragraph back, I surely missed that :)

Apart from a few weird character typos in the documentation, it looks all right to me. I'm sure a core will check the wording / typos and change as appropriate.

- Needs tests set
- Patch needs improvement set
- Triage Stage changed from Ready for checkin to Accepted
Not quite ready for checkin yet, upon examination (no fault of the triagers, I just was looking over it before checking it in)...
In the past we've rejected this sort of approach because it required the redundant import statements in models/__init__.py (rather than just from models.foo.bar import MyModel in the code being sufficient). Ideally, it would be nice to descend from models (whether it's models/ or models.py) and extract all the models without needing the models/__init__.py import. I think db.models.loading is one place that needs fixing for that. I think it should be possible to make this work.
We should be able to make a test for this one, since we have models.py files in the tests already (make a new test directory and have a models/ directory in it). Need to make sure we test that it works sufficiently generally (models/foo/bar.py should work -- looks like it does, but testing makes perfect).
I don't like the use of "assert" in this patch, since assert is for things that should never fail and we can "guarantee" will be true. We cannot make guarantees about the user's (programmer's) code, though; they do make mistake and it's not Django's internal fault if that happens. So we should do a normal check and raise a proper exception (not AssertionError) if there is a problem. Everywhere else in Django does this upon an end-user error, so it's consistent.
I'll probably fix some/all of these problems myself on the next pass through if nobody wants to do it first. Just recording the problems for future triage benefit.

I was wondering if there's a way of removing feeds completely from wordpress (or at least disabling them completely without leaving dead links) ?
I use wordpress to publish but I don't need the feeds and I notice that most of my search engine traffic is hitting the feed instead of my actual blog, which is pointless.
What's the best way to approach this ?

17th Annual Kevin's Fund Golf Tournament
The 17th Annual Kevin's Fund Golf Tournament was held on September 27th at Wayland Country Club. Fifty-one golfers participated in this year's tournament. More than $7,500 was raised for the fund. The threesome of Sean McDonough, Dana Ng and Joe McMenimen took home first place with a score of 9 under par. It was the fourth Kevin's Fund golf championship for this group but their first since 2003. The other contest winners were:
Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who partipated, donated or volunteered their time. Please click HERE to see a special message from Chris Eidt.
Kevin's Fund and the Kevin M. Eidt Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Kevin, an Honors Program computer science major in the Boston College Carroll School of Management class of '00, who died of cardiac arrest during an intramural basketball game in his freshman year. The Fund will apply 100% of the proceeds from this event to scholarships for the 2015-16 academic year, and in particular to the Boston College scholarships.
Since its inception in 1997 the Fund has awarded over $1.5 Million in scholarships to 114 young men and women attending institutions such as Amherst, Boston College, Bucknell, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Connecticut, Dartmouth, Fairfield, Georgetown, Harvard, Holy Cross, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Rhode Island, Tufts, William & Mary and Wisconsin. There are currently two scholarships in Kevin's name at Boston College, one for a member of the CSOM Honors Program and another for a member of the Emerging Leader Program.
For more information and registration forms please contact John Fahey at firstname.lastname@example.com or Tom Henault at email@example.com. Anyone wishing to donate auction items or become a program or event sponsor is requested to contact John Fahey at (978) 251-0305.

Previous GeneCards Identifiers for CHP1 Gene
Summaries for CHP1 Gene
This gene encodes a phosphoprotein that binds to the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1. This protein serves as an essential cofactor which supports the physiological activity of NHE family members and may play a role in the mitogenic regulation of NHE1. The protein shares similarity with calcineurin B and calmodulin and it is also known to be an endogenous inhibitor of calcineurin activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for CHP1 Gene
CHP1 (Calcineurin Like EF-Hand Protein 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Glycosaminoglycan metabolism. GO annotations related to this gene include calcium ion binding and microtubule binding. An important paralog of this gene is CIB1.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for CHP1 Gene
Calcium-binding protein involved in different processes such as regulation of vesicular trafficking, plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchanger and gene transcription. Involved in the constitutive exocytic membrane traffic. Mediates the association between microtubules and membrane-bound organelles of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus and is also required for the targeting and fusion of transcytotic vesicles (TCV) with the plasma membrane. Functions as an integral cofactor in cell pH regulation by controlling plasma membrane-type Na(+)/H(+) exchange activity. Affects the pH sensitivity of SLC9A1/NHE1 by increasing its sensitivity at acidic pH. Required for the stabilization and localization of SLC9A1/NHE1 at the plasma membrane. Inhibits serum- and GTPase-stimulated Na(+)/H(+) exchange. Plays a role as an inhibitor of ribosomal RNA transcription by repressing the nucleolar UBF1 transcriptional activity. May sequester UBF1 in the nucleoplasm and limit its translocation to the nucleolus. Associates to the ribosomal gene promoter. Acts as a negative regulator of the calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway. Inhibits NFAT nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity by suppressing the calcium-dependent calcineurin phosphatase activity. Also negatively regulates the kinase activity of the apoptosis-induced kinase STK17B. Inhibits both STK17B auto- and substrate-phosphorylations in a calcium-dependent manner.

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionThis species is known only from two sites in Peninsular Malaysia: Sungai Lembing logging camp (3° 52.26" N, 103° 3'.13" E), in Pahang Province, at 255m asl; and Gunung Benom in the western part of Pahang Province (Grismer, 2006). The elevation of the Gunung Benom records is not recorded, though it is likely to be higher than Sungai Lembing logging camp. The species presumably occurs more widely, especially in locations between the currently known sites.

Third-generation, or 3G, technology is a wireless network technology that is commonly utilized in smart phones like iPhones and Blackberries. While its predecessor, second-generation (2G) technology, was formulated around voice applications (like talking, call-waiting and voicemail), 3G technology puts a strong emphasis on Internet and multimedia services, such as web browsing, video conferencing and downloading music. And while there are several advantages to 3G, the technology also comes with its disadvantages.
High Bandwidth
High bandwith—the measure of transmission capacity—is one of the selling points of 3G. This allows you quick and easy access to all of your favorite online multimedia and Internet tools, just like you were at home on a computer. You can pay bills, book dinner reservations, update social networking pages and check emails, all on-the-go. While the maximum bandwidth for a stationary 3G device—according to Silicon Press—is 2.05 megabits (Mbps), when you are moving slowly (such as walking), this drops to 384 kilobits (Kbps). When you and your device are moving at high speeds (such as in a car), the maximum bandwidth drops to 128 Kbps. However, Silicon Press notes that this is still 10 times faster than the maximum bandwidth of moving 2G devices.
Always-Online Devices
Another advantage of 3G technology is that it can utilize packet-based Internet protocol connectivity. This means your mobile device will always be online and ready for Internet access. However, you will not actually pay for the connection until you start sending or receiving data packets, such as sending an email or looking at a webpage. Some 3G devices are also designed to automatically pick up the closest, free-to-access Wi-Fi signals, in which case, you won't have to pay anything for Internet.
Power Requirements
In addition to being more expensive, 3G handsets also require more power than most 2G models. According to Silicon Press, this extra power requirement can translate to larger batteries, shortage usage periods between recharging and more bulky handsets overall.

Course Description
The International Meistersinger Akademie (IMA) offers emerging artists an exceptional environment of excellence in the study of opera and Lied/Mélodie. Our prestigious staff and guest professors bring their expertise to the vocal and interpretive development of the young professional. The opening opera gala and an open air concert are planned with the Nuremburg Symphony Orchestra. Recitals take place in Neumarkt and Bayreuth, with an additional operagala in Ottobeuren. Language coaching in French, Italian and German is considered an important facet, as are Alexander Technique sessions.
European agents, promoters, opera directors and festival managers are invited to hold auditions, give seminars and to take part in roundtable discussions with the young artists, thus providing the networking and professional contacts important to the profession.
Through the IMA, many of our participants have found prestigious management and have been engaged at opera houses in Fest-contracts or as guests. Houses who have hired our singers include Glyndebourne, Covent Garden, Frankfurt, Munich, Hannover, Hamburg, Aix-en-Provence, Lille, Leipzig, Dresden, Geneva, Palermo, Basel, Klagenfurt, Zurich, as well as the Metropolitan Opera in New York. There have also been engagements in opera studio programs in Munich,Frankfurt, Dresden, Basel and Zurich. In the realm of concert, there are also engagement possibilities for recitals and oratorio/orchestral concerts.
In the acoustically famous Reitstadel Hall, the recital will be recorded by the Bavarian Radio/Studio Franken.
Our Mission
Our goal is to help each singer find the key to his or her own artistry and individual voice. This includes taking the time needed to work the new ideas into the repertoire and into the body.
To facilitate this, we offer extended practice time, both alone, and in rehearsal with a pianist, in our seven practice facilities.
The offer is for 12 to 15 emerging artists, not older than 30 years on August 17, 2016.
We expect our participants to come completely prepared. All music must be memorized.
Location and Course Dates
The IMA takes place from July 9 - August 17, 2016.
Neumarkt is a very welcoming, picturesque town in the Oberpfalz, and is the ideal partner for the IMA: the concert hall, Reitstadel, is renowned for its acoustics; two other large halls with grand pianos are available, as well as seven practice studios (with pianos) and several teaching rooms without pianos. Neumarkt can be reached from Nuremburg in 30 minutes.
St. Joseph´s monastery lies in a beautiful park 15 minutes from city center. All the participants are in residence in single rooms. Bikes are provided by the city.
Neumarkt is also a town which enjoys festivities. The renowned Volksfest ("peoples' party") is held during the IMA weeks, and has proven to be huge fun, right down to being in the parade on an IMA float, and enjoying the rides and beer-tents at the fairgrounds.
Audition Dates/Deadlines

I have a very strong willed and what some may refer to as "high needs" little guy. He has also been an AWFUL sleeper since day 1. We've been cosleeping the last year or so to save my sanity and for me to get some sleep. He nurses to sleep, then I put him in his crib. He will sleep anywhere from 1-4 hours, get up, nurse more, then go back to sleep.
I tried CIO around 8 months, then again at 10 mo & 11.5 mo. He did not respond to it, it resulted in 45+ minutes of absolute screaming/ vomiting / choking on the vomit/snot etc.
I decided tonight to try again.
Just for a few. See if he would fall asleep after a few minutes of fussing/crying. In the 4.5 minutes he cried, he started hyperventilating. Then puked. After I cleaned up, I picked him up and he proceeded to bury his head in my chest and whimper until he fell asleep. Without even nursing, and thats his fave thing ever.
I cried. Hard. What was I thinking?!? I feel like the worst mom ever.

I cannot recommend this template at all. There are huge lists of unanswered/unresolved problems. Looking at all the other reviews, there's a common theme. Unless you are an advancedprogrammer and can use this as a basic starting point to create your own, you're out of luck. Uploading the template will not create the functionality suggested by the image in the description (http://wordpress.org/themes/minimatica). This is a fundamental flaw. If you want to do other things and mess around with code, fine. But a template should default to its basic function without the need for forums and custom coding.
There are few customization options and definitely no clear options for creating the main slide bar which is the main feature of this photography-oriented template! There are many custom coding answers to questions, but again, the main feature of this template will not work after installing the template and there are no instructions or control options for the average user, such as with a "WeaverII" based template. Advanced users, good for you! Not-so-advanced users, stay away and try any one of the many other photography sites that work basically after installation.
The title page does not show any of the page's pictures like advertised. I have tried many different ways of posting and was not able to get it done. Tried and installed 1.1.0 and went back as far as 1.0.8. None of them worked. I looked in the support section and found no help. Is this theme incompatable with 3.5.2? Either way, i was sorely dissapointed.

Column - The shocking failure of shock art to shock
Andrew Bolt
–, Friday, October, 01, 2010, (6:03am)
IT'S the smile on her face - not the poop in her hands - that says Georgie Mattingley has touched bottom.
Mattingley, whose own painted faeces goes on show this month at the Kingston Art Gallery in Mornington, is the latest artist to beg for attention by trying to outrage what few sensibilities this raddled society has left.
That is actually harder today than you may think, although I rather fancy I could do something sensational with a koala and a microwave.
You see, the trouble for Mattingley, just 21 and still a student at Monash University, is that so many artists have tried her caper already that they've finally managed to shock us not into silence, but indifference.
Eighty years ago Salvador Dali could win a worldwide reputation for chic daring just by painting the rotting carcase of a donkey, but we've calloused up remarkably since.
By 1975, Ivan Durrant could no longer count on merely painting rotting livestock to get noticed. He had to drag an entire putreyfing cow on to the steps of the National Art Gallery of Victoria to get a headline, and even then he remained largely a local sensation.
Now even that stunt would win an artist no more than a ticket for littering. So to gain international fame for his own exhibition, German artist Gunther von Hagens had to get his hands on not only a dead horse, but 26 dead humans.
What's more, he had to skin and chop up the bodies before posing and plasticising them so that millions could marvel at his show of the mutilated dead, and especially at his masterpiece - a corpse with a topless skull riding the flayed cadaver of a horse while holding his brain in one hand and the neddy's in the other.
Could anyone top that? No, you might think, but Chinese "conceptual artist" Zhu Yu is way ahead of you - if "ahead" is the right word.
In 2003, Britain's Channel 4 broadcast stills of Zhu's Eating People exhibition, including one showing him apparently biting into the body of a stillborn baby.
And even this you know must one day be trumped with a fresh depravity some other attention seeker will devise, because each new outrage in the art of shock can only be outdone by one worse.
In fact, seeing what's gone before, we can only be glad that Mattingley merely scoops out her dyed excrement, arranges it among flowers and leaves, and displays it under acrylic.
Clearly she's a conservative. Indeed, that sweet smile of hers suggests she herself has not the slightest notion that she's being naughty by playing with her poo. Doesn't everyone do this?
Well, yes, dear. They do now indeed in certain artistic circles, not to mention many ape enclosures, which is why even this innocent girl finds herself up to her elbows in the merde. Again, check the increasingly aggressive transgressions by artists of the values we devise - perhaps arbitrarily at times - to protect us from decay, despair, disrespect and disorder.
Forty years ago, all that the producers of Hair had to do to ensure they had a hit was to get the cast of their hippy musical to perform nude.
Now stripping on stage is nothing. Even by the 1990s, you also had to do things with your dangly bits simply to fill a suburban theatre, whether it was tying knots in your penis (Puppetry of the Penis) or doing tricks with your bare breasts (Busting Out!).
More serious artists have gone further ... or sunk deeper.
Annie Sprinkle has famously asked her audiences to come up to the stage to look into her vagina, Monash University's gallery showed paintings of the exposed anuses of people lashed into chairs, and more than 40 artists from prime minister Kevin Rudd's summit of our "best and brightest" defended the right of artist Bill Henson to sell his pictures of a naked 13-year-old girl in sexually charged tableaus.
So you can see why two of Britain's richest and most famous artists, Gilbert and George, concluded they couldn't just paint themselves in the nude, either.
In 1994 they decided to add little details that made all the shocking difference between obscurity and fame. Let me quote from a review back then in Britain's Independent, and please excuse the artistic language: "Most of the pictures on show will feature one or more of the artists' very own turds in gleaming colour.
"The Naked Shit Pictures is an immensely powerful body of work (or should that be out of body?), and designed to shock ...
"What makes their huge pictures so special is the way in which the grubby, disturbing, upsetting, defecatory subjects they represent are portrayed in the most fastidiously conceived and beautifully crafted manner ... "
So sacred did the ABC consider their work that it presented it to us in a two-part Christmas special.
And have I told you of this duo's pictures of their sperm? Of the equally famous Tracey Emin's collage of her used tampons? Of Chris Ofili's use of elephant dung to paint the Madonna?
Yes, well. No wonder Melburnians seemed such hicks to the hip when we got uncharacteristically cross with the NGV for showing Piss Christ, a crucifix in a jar of urine.
Hadn't we dull suburbans been paying attention? Didn't we know the ultra-cool Andy Warhol had made works with his own urine? That Piero Manzoni had canned his faeces for art as long ago as 1961?
How embarrassing for us. And so, bit by bit, we've been shamed out of our shame, so that we today look at Mattingley holding her bright poo and can barely summon the energy to care.
Yet that's just why we should care, and dare to say something. As in: enough, dear girl. The next time you go to the toilet, don't fish but flush.
And we finally dare say this because we can no longer be accused of being shocked, disgusted or whatever else we'd feel if we were embarrassingly middle class and sheltered. Honestly, we've seen it all before, and worse. Our moral senses have been almost cauterised by it all, leaving us dangerously apathetic. It's as much as we can do to pay attention, let alone react.
So we can safely say, without the risk of being mocked for prudery, that Mattingley has not shocked our morality but offended our intelligence.
How much longer will artists rely on the cheap shock, rather than deep insight and painstaking skill, to win our interest and respect? How much longer will the smart-arses win the honors that only genius deserves?
Not so long ago it was still believed - or at least preached - that the role of art was to affirm, rather than appall. To elevate, rather than destroy.
Culture, said the great critic and poet Matthew Arnold, was to introduce us to "sweetness and light", and help us to the "best that is known and thought".
Of course, we need to explore the dark as well. But how does this self-absorbed tugging of penises or parading of turds help us to better understand anything at all? Is it even intended to?
No, this is the kind of art that is not only produced by a culture of shock, but protected by an age of inanity.
Many artists of the second rank have long given up the responsibility of making any meaning.
You can see the results in the length of the captions. The less that art made sense, the more you had to read to have any hope of understanding what the hell you were looking at.
Hear RMIT Associate Professor Linda Williams now try to explain Mattingley's work: "She is, I think, trying to reclaim the idea that bodily processes are not something to be ashamed of."
I think. Or maybe not, because this is the art of the bower bird - objects collected and arranged just to catch the eye, not engage the brain.
Again, Mattingley is here no radical, plumbing daring new depths of meaningless. No, it was actually in the Melbourne International Festival of Arts in 2003 that we saw the gold standard set for vacuity.
Here's a review of one typical show from that senseless year.
The Lost Breath, reported The Australian, was "loosely based on the writings and personalities of Franz Kafka and Harry Houdini", and featured five singers, one in a Superman suit, who "perform in English, German, Hebrew and Yiddish as well as tap dance", before closing the show with 14 Schumann songs, sung in German from inside a box.
After that, Mattingley's painted excrement seems not just conservative but as profound as Shakespeare.
Which is why you should finally panic. Just look at that smile, after all. The poor girl has no clue how deep in the tish we all now stand.
Have Your Say
Are any modern artists capable of producing works that simply speak for themselves and don't require a short story to explain that they are actually works of genius? It seems to me that most modern artists spend more time on their narratives than their works.

Hi Dave,
That perception could probably be extended to include literature and drama.
There is a mind-set in the community amongst some, that if a painting, a novel or a play is incomprehendable it must be brilliant. It's quite rampant in the circles of the 'wannabe' elites and exploited by those who are convinced they are elite.
That is: It's created by the untalented and 'sold' to the totally bewildered by the thoroughly unscrupulous!
I have found that little saying can blow the f^rt right out of a group of 'wannabe elitists' during a dinner party!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:13am)
It ain't art: it's coprophilia.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:23pm)
I now vow to never read a book or see a movie that has been lauded by the elite. My last attempt with "The Life of Pi" ended in tears of disappointment.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:57pm)
I think you hit the nail right on the head Dave.
When Picasso was asked about his paintings he is quoted as saying something along the lines of - if I could put it into words I wouldn't need to paint it.
Today's 'artists' have turned this concept on its head. Without the words, much of passes as art is meaningless.
ps ... I humbly acknowledge Picasso's substantial contribution to 20th century art, even if he was a stupid Commie.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (03:32pm)
Perhaps the Moore Park Stables should open a stand to sell its art by the bag.

Nonna: Very, very nice… but sad, too, because of the truth within it.
It's created by the untalented and 'sold' to the totally bewildered by the thoroughly unscrupulous!

"On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45 Communist goals into the Congressional Record".
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations that are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, and policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."
No, really. Colonel Neville.
A long time ago someone called Paul wrote this in a letter:
....whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
These words seem to be more relevant now than they were 2000 years ago.

I find myself thinking of that quote more and more these days, Elsie. What has happened to our society?!
Oh, and:
That is actually harder today than you may think, although I rather fancy I could do something sensational with a koala and a microwave.
Comedy gold!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:05am)
These words seem to be more relevant now than they were 2000 years ago.
elsie, those wise words are no longer relevant but despised.
If those words were still relevant today, there would be no need for Andrew to raise this issue as he has.
Instead, people have willfully altered those words into a question.
....what is true? what is noble? what is right? what is pure? what is lovely? what is admirable?…
Apparently we are "capable" and "intelligent" enough to ask these questions and decide our own morality.
However, as can be seen, we are quite literally spiraling towards immorality and are rapidly approaching the position of being incapable of recognising the truth of what is "excellent or praiseworthy"
Fri 01 Oct 10 (11:14am)
Yes, the Koala / Microwave combination might get you on page 7 of the arts section in the Templestowe Leader, but you know the following week someone will do the same with a dead baby and a microwave, then 2 weeks later someone will put themself in a microwave in a live display and the next day it will be on page 1 as a "tragedy".
Now where is that koala…
Fri 01 Oct 10 (01:09pm)
Paul also wrote: 'To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted ...' Think how hard it is for children just to be allowed a child's innocence these days!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (04:29pm)
Loaded Dog, I agree with you that those words have become despised and questioned, but not that they are irrelevant. Anyone who wants to can still adopt the actions, even though millions are scorning the precepts and sneering at those who choose to follow them them.
Great column this morning Andrew. Having spent my life in the Arts, I find the turd offering by this young lady just very sad indeed. However, they do say that art is a reflection of society, which is even more worrying.

Raindancer, well said. But these cerebral onanists don't really represent our society (unless you count its 14-year-olds). They think they are heroes for transgressing any social norms. As BoltA says, being this offensive and this yawn-inducing at the same time is an achievement of sorts. As for penis-puppeteers tying it up in a knot, I'm for it - with any luck it will stop such people from breeding.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:18pm)
Urine art has been around since I can remember.
I've been doing art with my urine since I was young. Many times whilst in the act of urinating I would write my name on a brick walls, then in the sand, the dirt or anywhere I considered appropriate for my art. Sometimes I could extend it to a couple of words or a love heart for someone special. I know I am not alone.
I've heard Mr Beasley likes to express himself in the snow.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:47pm)
I don't think that Art reflects Society, or rather, I don't think what might be said about Art might be said about Society.
The Art clique has very deliberately distanced itself from Society and despises it - is it any surprise the works are revolting.
The Arts clique sees itself as above and beyond society, and feels its offerings should be wondered at by a Society in awe (and certainly sponsored by it) and they need make no effort to engage with Society.
If the Artists truly cared about the world they would seek to engage with the people who comprise it. Instead they manufacture these little trophies, inviting their fellow elites to simultaneously worship them and despise 'the people'.
It's an ego trip.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (07:15pm)
whats really sad is that this is news worthy!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:10pm)
Clearly she's currently in her own Pickasso brown period..No, really. Colonel Neville.
As I said yesterday, ugly artists, with ugly hearts, creating ugly art. Even if you paid me, I'd not waste a nanosecond of time to go to one of their exhibitions. Exhibitionists indeed. I'm sure psychiatrists would have a field day with them.
Give me the Pre-Raphaelites any day.

Not only their beautiful paintings, but the dreams they had for a rather beautiful (but admittedly rather unrealistic) society) are something to treasure, Rosemary.
We certainly are living with the results of the "If it feels good, do it" mantra.
The role of art in society is to uplift, to inspire, to raise one above the drudgery and constant struggle of day-to-day existence through the creation of wonderful works of beauty, charm and intelligence. The highest works of art arise from the rare brilliance of true masters who combine genuine talent with enormous hard work; and who blend radiant insight with committed determination to produce stunning works of lasting value that seem impossible to ordinary men.
However, the modern art world is full of pretentious, self-absorbed wankers who insist that the role of art is to challenge, to confront, to shock, to disturb. We've had this for nearly 100 years - nothing but shock, shock, shock. The most lauded creations of the art community are invariably horrific and disgusting pieces of filth that no-one would ever wish to actually display within their own home.
And, of course, a constant theme within the art world is to attack, mock and spit on Christianity with the most blatantly offensive and outrageous means that can possibly be devised. Their frenzied preoccupation in this respect is contrasted by their almost universal silence in relation to islam, which apparently has no failings and needs no comment on what some pedants might regard as questionable, such as islam's never-ending lust for murder combined with complete and arrogant determination to compel everybody else on the face of the planet to fall under its cruel, pitiless yolk.
Yes, in relation to islam, no artistic comment is warranted - the brave Danish cartoonists excepted. No artistic necessity to question, to challenge or to shock exists into this ever-spreading cloak of darkness. Either that, or the clique of gutless bludgers who claim to be the arbiters of what is art and who demand ever more public funding for their banal, childish, talentless pap SNIP.....TOO LONG. BOLT MODERATORS.

Hit the nail on the head there Gobsmacked.
These non "artists" find it extremely advantageous in seeking fame to mock the Christian God as piss weak. (As illustrated quite clearly in the example "Piss Christ")
This shows their spineless nature in believing they can take "artistic advantage" of the subject God and suffer no immediate ill harm as everyone knows true Christians won't fight back....and where is this God that everyone's been talking about anyway?
When these non-artists fail to subject the Muslim god or prophet to the same artistic scrutiny however, their true nature as insecure, petty attention seekers emerges.
The fascinating part is that the weakness of the diety is displayed solely by a necessity or requirement of its followers or creations to defend it.
A real god has no need whatsoever to have its honour defended by its creatures.
What sort of god needs someone else to fight for it? One that is not omnipotent but impotent I would argue.
One last point. These "artists" must be pretty damn confident about the non existence of the Christian God to mock Him and His followers so blatantly.
How can they be so sure?
Do they see themselves as omniscient?
Or are they just plain arrogant?
I would argue they might be playing with fire…
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:03pm)
Look and listen, everywhere you can, for the God who speaks with the still, small voice.
As Schaeffer said, "He is there and He is not silent".
I am wary of the other god who stands maliciously, with ugly shouts. This is a weak god, who needs fear and the sword. Which is the stronger?
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:43pm)
Loaded dog,
I agree with you 100%. Hopefully the true and living God will give them long, healthy lives to reconsider their views.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (04:55pm)
Gobsmacked of Gippsland.
One must not blame Georgie Mattingley entirely for her desperate bid for public attention.
Georgie's case is similar in a sense to the case with Helen Darville, who wrote THE HAND THAT SIGNED THE PAPER which was praised by the establishment for being a remarkable work of fiction by a very youthful ETHNIC author. At the time she lied when she said she was Helen Demidenko, a Ukranian. Helen was simply playing the system in order to make a name for herself. As Robert Manne pointed out, she was not original. She copied entire bits from famous books.
Like Helen Georgie longs to achieve something in the arts and to do it easily. Georgie has been praised for her efforts by those who are involved with exhibitions just as Helen was praised by judges of literature who came from the establishment. Andrew Bolt, critic extraordinaire, has damned her work.
If you are female in particular and want to make the mark, you overdo something in order to make a point. People in academia will praise you for your efforts particularly if you speak nicely to them.
It is a great pity that Georgie has had this praise which has not been earned through the route normally expected of an artist. It is but one example generally of how people get to prominence these days unfortunately. The talk behind the product is more important the physical thing itself. Talk evaporates in time and then what remains?
Art which lasts takes much effort and commitment. The results are not found easily and many famous artists were never widely known in their own lifetime or, as in the case of van Gogh, had the opportunity to benefit monetarily from their art.
The few samples of Georgie's work seen on this blog do not impress the average layperson, or, the true professional who has gone through with the hard yards.
If she is really interested in art, she should study the formal aspects of it first and then diversify. By that time, she will find out that sh*t is sh*t and art is art. Sometimes the twain shall meet but generally people do not want it in their home or in public places. Sh*t sits well in the toilet but of course, other people think their own sh*t is pretty good too. It is so bloody hard to be original, isn't it?
I made the mistake of trying to read this column whilst eating my breakfast, I wont do that again!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:09am)
I did see Puppetry of the Penis and it was hilarious. No pretensions there, no arts grants either. Just a lot of "How did he do that? Ow ow ow that looks painful.". Better than what happens every night in "Gentlemen's Clubs", the ones with the poles.

No doubt you would also break out in entertained laughter if someone farted in a lift.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:05pm)
And my wife and I saw Busting Out, and it too was hilarious. Not designed to shock or disgust, just to have fun with a body part 50% of us have (and the other 50% enjoy).
I don't think these two examples are relevant to the rest of this caca that Andrew is talking about.
Andrew, if your aim was to give publicity to an "artist" that no-one's ever heard of, you have succeeded. Wouldn't we be better off just ignoring these people? If no-one goes to their shows, they'll eventually end up behind the fast-food counter where they always belonged. You'd be amazed at the artistic nuance you can load into a phrase like "Do you want fries with that?"
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:40am)
Fri 01 Oct 10 (01:14pm)
DON'T put this particular artist anywhere near food! Please!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (02:19pm)
True. Controversy isn't a game that can be played alone.
Some more from Rand on the state of art today
I made it my task to learn what made Romanticism, the greatest achievement in art history, possible and what destroyed it. I learned—as in other, similar cases involving philosophy—that Romanticism was defeated by its own spokesmen, that even in its own time it had never been properly recognized or identified. It is Romanticism's identity that I want to transmit to the future.
As for the present, I am not willing to surrender the world to the jerky contortions of self-inducedly brainless bodies with empty eye sockets, who perform, in stinking basements, the immemorial rituals of staving off terror, which are a dime a dozen in any jungle—and to the quavering witch doctors who call it "art".
Our day has no art and no future. The future, in the context of progress, is a door open only to those who do not renounce their conceptual faculty; it is not open to mystics, hippies, drug addicts, tribal ritualists—or to anyone who reduces himself to a subanimal, subperceptual, sensory level of awareness.
Will we see an esthetic Renaissance in our time? I do not know. What I do know is this: anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today. The Romantic Manifesto

Look closely at the picture - I bet they're not her hands holding the 'work'.

For her sake let's hope she washes them after her 'creations'.
It shocked you enough to do two columns in two days. I would say then this is a spectacular success, Andrew - people are talking about it, no small thanks to you, and that is what art is for.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:50am)
Fri 01 Oct 10 (01:16pm)
Darling Teddy Bear,
You fail to notice that Andrew uses his blog to explore ideas and reactions before he writes his column, which then appears in newspapers.
Absolutely appalling-she will probably get an Arts grant.Of course if the media hadn't given her any attention we would never have had to see this.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:52am)

See my comment above…
The sad thing is the academic who defends her. It just shows where our universities have descended to.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:54am)
I admire the spirit of fee enterprise Mattingley is showing. The fact she can get a gallery to exhibit her bodily waste is a remarkable achievement, and proves people can make a buck from anything if they are creative.
If Mattingley finds a way to get people to pay for her glorified excrement I say good on her.
PS: I do hope they take a picture for us of such visionary souls that collect her art.

You would have the equivalent in Sydney of a place in Brisbane called Luggage Point. It is a sewerage treatment plant, now I can see it being redeveloped as an art supply store.
"A rose by any other name is still rose." "A turd by any other name is a modern art masterpiece."
"...I could do something sensational with a koala and a microwave."
Classic line!
@Rosemary of Queensland - re psychiatrists: In the inimitable words of ...err...someone..."There's whole conference there."
One could draw a parallel between the artist and a certain anatomical part ...and what it produces!
Fri 01 Oct 10 (08:57am)
I remember years ago when I took my kids to the Melbourne art galleries I was struck by how different art from other time periods was to today's standards. A tremendous amount of artistic genius was displayed in the lovely older works. The 20th century art onwards was not liked by myself or my kids though. There was obvious skill in some pieces but most artwork had no beauty at all.
Older art had meaning back when people believed that life had meaning. As society has rejected religion and social etiquette art has done the same and chaos has resulted. If this artist's "work" is a case of art reflecting life then 21st century Australia really is up s**t's creek....
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:02am)
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:33pm)
Older traditions of art require much greater skill, talent and hard work.
Just ask any master violinist: 15 or more years of hard, daily work, every day, and talent. Lots of love and support needed. Many lessons. A fine instrument is also needed, made by a master maker who likewise has given his or her life to art.
And the composers who worked to make the music.
The poo doesn't shock, dear. Only the spirit does.
And who says the right are not into PC?
The right are all for PC as long as it's directed that those the right don't like.
The right are all for insulting, say Muslims, but somebody produce 'art' that they don't like and all of a sudden they become all precious.
The right will not defend an artists right to produce 'art' as they see it but will defend their own God given right to criticise it under the guise of free speech.
btw, personally I'm not interested in feces art but if she wants to produce it and people want to see it, so be it.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:12am)

It would've been much simpler, and shorter, to merely say "I'm a wanker".
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:51am)
TBK, succinctly and perfectly put relativist thought. This post explains more about your general outlook on life and the reason many of your posts so lack in intellectual direction. You are the product and now one of the propagators of this decadent philosophy that is the root cause of the malaise in our modern and directionless western society. Frank Furedi has written a short study on this issue "Where have all the Intellectuals gone".
Fri 01 Oct 10 (10:27am)
BK you're a hypocrite. In your opinion, everything should be tolerated, except the ability of conservatives to express their opinions. How progressive of you.
Oh and BTW, the right are not "all for insulting, say Muslims". The right objects to muslims (or anyone else for that matter) forcing us to comply with their rules/cultural values. Made all the more obvious because muslim rules belong in the cave-man era. Yet you champion them. What's that say about you?
Fri 01 Oct 10 (10:40am)
Do you also think this type of "art" should be publicly funded.........
Fri 01 Oct 10 (10:55am)
Another D.Head screaming 'an artist's right', until the 'artist' creates an image or description of them or someone they admire in a non-flattering or insulting way.
E.g. - you are quick BK to come on and defend your precious Labor party/politicions from verbal attack here, yet that can also be said to be a 'artistic dialouge'.
So when I call you a D.Head, I'm merely exercising my 'artistic right' as well, something you have just condoned for me, D.Head !!
p.s. - I find it pathetic gutter level you have to stoop to justify your ranting arguement by claiming the right are all for insulting muslims - that's a gutless irrational smug coward's act on your behalf, but so typical of your posts here.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (11:42am)
Shaun, the problem with conservatives expressing their opinion is that the dumb and gullible actually listen to them. The result is intolerance and endless war - and endless commentary about scatart.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (12:34pm)
And who says the right are not into PC?
This has NOTHING to do with right vs left TBK. As was shown yesterday Gilbert & George are Thatcher supporters and as such identify as "right wingers"
Their behaviour, which has been identified as art, is nothing short of disgraceful.
The right are all for PC as long as it's directed that those the right don't like.
What sort of an arguement are you trying to make with that statement?
Don't the left do the same thing?
This is not about Muslims either. Its clearly about the degeneration of society. It's not that hard to grasp TBK.
As I outlined yesterday, how far does society need to degenerate before degeneration is identified for what it is...degeneration?
Trying to identify deviant behaviour as art is fraught with dangers. Can't you see this?
If non-artists need to keep spiraling further and further into depravity to gain notoriety for their work how long will it be before public masturbation is considered an art form? (a point I raised yesterday, and one which you conveniently chose to ignore)
Fri 01 Oct 10 (03:00pm)
Oh and BTW, the right are not "all for insulting, say Muslims". The right objects to muslims (or anyone else for that matter) forcing us to comply with their rules/cultural values.
Speaking hypocrisy.
So why should artist comply to your notion of what is and is not art? Why should artist comply to your notion of political correctness?
I don't like punk music. Therefore, I don't buy punk records, I don't go to punk concerts and I don't listen to JJJ. I also don't bitch about about it. If the Sex Pistols do an horrendous version of 'God Save the Queen', let them I don't care. Society hasn't fallen apart in the last 30 odd years as a result.
btw, I thought that by definition intellectuals were left wing socialist. Or at least that what your mob keep telling me. Therefore, you should be happy that all the intellectuals have gone.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (05:23pm)
Society hasn't fallen apart in the last 30 odd years as a result.
Teehee. Oh my TBK. That statement is priceless, and all I need.
You really have no idea do you?
see ya…
Fri 01 Oct 10 (06:01pm)
This has NOTHING to do with right vs left TBK.
The Loaded Dog
But...yesterday you said it did!
Although, Gilbert and George aside, lefties appear to be authorities on ultra crude jokes and art of a degenerative nature.
Why else would they be constantly either promoting or defending it?
Piero Manzoni died in 1963. He's specialty was art using bodily fluids. He even can his own feces and put it on the market. A can recently sold for US$80,000. Tell me how did he contribute to the decay of society assuming that you have even heard of the guy?
Your public masturbation question is a straw man. The art Georgie Mattingley is showing is the end product and the process of it been made.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (06:58pm)
Really TBK you've been coming to this site for that long and still don't understand? You must be remarkably obtuse. It's really not that hard:
"The right are all for PC as long as it's directed that those the right don't like."
Wrong. A true conservative always wants a free, fair, frank exchange of views. We enjoy the debate. Restriction of debate is to be abhorred at all times.
"The right are all for insulting, say Muslims.."
Wrong. See point one. The intention is not to insult, but to debate if the basic principles of the philosophy behind Islam are compatible with our own. You may find that insulting, but refer to point 1. Also, this is not limited to Muslims, but any ideology that similarly attempts to control the individual.
"but somebody produce 'art' that they don't like and all of a sudden they become all precious."
Wrong. Not precious, see point 1 – some of us find this 'art' repellent and express that. Note we are not calling for the beheading of the artist, nor issued a death warrant re point 2. All we prefer is this (and all) art be funded by the collector/exhibit visitor, not the public purse. If there is a suitable market - it will flourish and good luck to them.
"The right will not defend an artists right to produce 'art' as they see it.."
Wrong. She can produce what she wants and I'm happy to defend her right to do so. It is also my right to say its repellent (see point 1). No-one here is having a Mohammad cartoon moment (see point 2).
"...but will defend their own God given right to criticise it...."
Wrong. Not god-given, but earned by the blood of our ancestors over many centuries given to defend that right against all forms of despotism be it the monarch, the church or the dictator.
"under the guise of free speech."
Guise of free speech? What free speech to you means only the right to say what the collective agrees with? (See point 1).
In short, your post says much about your own intolerance than ours and this demonstrates you intolerance perfectly "I thought that by definition intellectuals were left wing socialist..." Ever heard of Adam Smith, Descartes, etc. etc.
Well, there is the old saying that "some people think their sh^t stinks better than anyone else's."
The reply to that is..."Ah, but their (f)arts give them away."
A sad and sorry lot they are.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:16am)
No doubt that now, with all this publicity, she
will be booked into the National Gallery, St Kilda Road, as a special event.
They love to hear the turnstiles clicking and
the Gallery authorities, Director, Curators at al invariably view the success of an exhibition by
the numbers passing through.
They too are inclined to put sensationalism
before quality.
Fri 01 Oct 10 (09:22am)
Fri 01 Oct 10 (02:07pm)
Quality is a slippery thing when it comes to art.
I remember an exhibit of Picasso's sketchbooks here in Toronto many years ago. (I hasten to add that I am in no way comparing this young lady to Pablo Picasso.)
One of the pages included a little squiggle, with an oddly deformed eye elsewhere on the page. I didn't get it then and I don't get it now.
However, another page contained a pencil sketch of a mother breastfeeding an infant. It was absolutely incredible; I can still see it. You could almost stroke her hair.
Was the squiggle just a crappy little squiggle? Or was it an expression from a man of inconceivable artistic depth of something beyond my understanding? Is it crap because I don't understand it?
Maybe he was talking on the phone when he doodled it; maybe it meant something very profound to him. How can I judge it?
I don't know how an intellectually honest person can judge artistic quality, beyond saying whether they like it or not.
And I recall at Rudds 2020 Summit,Cate Blanchett and the bunch of whinging artists with her, wanting art students to be exempt from paying HECCS fees.
So under that idea the likes of young Georgie would get fully subsidized by the taxpayer to be taught how to produce "crap" like this,but those studying to be doctors,scientists,engineers,teachers etc have to pay their own way.
Why do these psuedo artists think they are just sooooo special?

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Joe Ramunno may not be taking much of a break from football after all. After resigning from Colorado Mesa this past Nov., he is now in talks with returning to the Palisade Bulldogs' sidelines.
Ramunno resigned from the helm of the Mavericks after 14 years of coaching. But, before Ramunno was a Maverick, he was a Bulldog. Athletics Director Mike Krueger said he is hopeful that deal will get done with Coach Ramunno in the near future.

Hi I noticed something weird today...
I'm testing a site locally and my sidebars disappear and return unannounced.
The page load also became much longer since I installed a certain plugin.
Upon loading it says "connecting to in.admedia.com" and a javascript snippet appears at the bottom of some posts (only visible in html text mode). When I delete it it simply reappears.
Does anyone know what this is?

Growing at flat, zero rate. This is not a growth stock, as they hype. Sell, Sell, Sell.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Will fall back below $50 before the year is out.
Like a lot of tech, ADOBE is overpriced. AMZN, TSLA even GOOG are way overvalued. We know that. But the sell off here is just, too many shares, too widely owned to go up. Earnings were good, ADBE is making 52% of its revenue from the cloud. It should be up, but the market itself is looking kinda toppy here.
I think ADBE will fall to its next level of support, around 64. And I was long before earnings. JMHO, what do you think?

Finalizing what has been in the works for four years, Alexa King leaves for Berea College on Aug. 21.
The 2010 Henry County High School graduate has wanted to attend Berea since her freshman year of high school, and starting this fall will run cross-country and track for the Mountaineers. Brescia University, Lindsey Wilson and Spalding University all showed interest in the pole vaulting specialist, but in the end she went with the school that first drew her attention in 2006.
True leadership means doing that which is right, though it may not be popular.
On Tuesday, June 20, members of the Henry County Fiscal Court missed a prime opportunity to display true leadership.
At issue was whether or not the court would remove Roger Hartlage from the Henry County Planning and Zoning Commission. In April, Hartlage and the other members of SBH Properties received a notice of violation from the state that charged the group with having improper fill material on its property.
General Manager
In a controversial 3-2 vote, the Henry County Fiscal Court opted not to remove a Planning and Zoning commissioner from his post.

Sandra and Chester Stivers didn't plan to become well-known for their homemade ice cream at the Henry County Harvest Showcase, but it has become a family tradition that all will have the chance to enjoy on Saturday.
The Stivers have brought homegrown green beans, potatoes and other produce to the Harvest Showcase for ten years.
The Henry County Farmer's Market was founded on the principle of sharing. Producers in the county wanted to share their cropland, their hard work and the fruits of their labor with their friends and neighbors.
To a city, Henry County's incorporated cities forbid residents from having any livestock — large or small. But why? On July 12, New Castle City Commissioners were asked to consider that question at their July 12 meeting.
Resident Donna Feltner wrote a letter to city officials asking that a long-standing ordinance be changed to allow people to keep chickens within city limits.
The community wide "giveaway" outreach event on July 22 and 23rd in New Castle far surpassed the hopes and expectations of its sponsors.
Note: This is the third column in a series leading up to the Louisville Ford Ironman. The 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run is Aug. 29.
Now that the Tour de France is over, I find myself searching for motivation. With the Ironman less than six weeks away, it's a crucial stretch and the Tour was providing me with all the inspiration I needed to pedal away.
