Chicago Art in Pictures: Summer of 2013

Mickey Pomfrey is one of a relatively small number of people I encounter on a regular basis at gallery openings in Chicago. In spite of that fact, I'd never before brought a camera to the space (CourtneyBlades) which he runs with Blake Cameron Harris. And it was only because I happened to take photographs there on August 9, 2013, that Ria Roberts noticed me, and reminded me to attend Medium Cool: a new art book fair with which she's involved.

The Mission

Above: Joshua Albers' lower-gallery (Sub-Mission) projected video installation.
Yhelena Hall's da Vinci-like creation is built from fabric stretched over a frame, which method of construction reminds a Chicago resident of Linda Warren's artist Juan Angel Chavez. But, maybe, within Warren's stable the better comparison is to Conrad Freiburg–for as helium escapes its imperfect balloon, Hall's wooden machine has a self-destructive potential.

Like Yhelena Hall at The Mission, Conrad Freiburg chose to present freestanding, three-dimensional objects made largely of wood, in the company of smaller, wall-mounted graphic works, which in this case are still images rather than video. Unlike Hall, around the perimeter of gallery interior Freiburg set a race, which in turn carries bearings or marbles as such activity is initiated by visitors. Four years ago, in June of 2009, Monica Herrera arranged a similar work at 65GRAND, there observed with an additional audio component: falling marbles "played" upon successive wooden elements with each drop in elevation.

When I hold a camera to my face and look through the viewfinder I'm blind to the room around me, so that it's especially surprising to be struck at that moment. I write here with authority as I've suffered the aforementioned indignity on multiple occasions. On August 9, 2013, for the second time at one of Myers' openings, someone threw something at me while I was taking a picture. If the games, and food, and liquor, all now frequently available at gallery openings, have served to draw in a certain sort of person then, maybe, they've done so only at the cost of another sort of person. After six years of work on this photographic project, my patience has been exhausted.

Sonnenzimmer print and design studio is Nadine Nakanishi and Nick Butcher. On July 14, 2013, Nick and Nadine held a sort-of art benefit / garage sale, during which Michael Bingaman (electronics), Josh Berman (cornet), Anton Hatwich (double bass), and Matt Schneider (guitar) played music. There, I bought a big Taschen contemporary art compendium for three dollars, and got a Design Bureau magazine for free. Everyone was cool! And John Corbett was there–because he's really good about attending these things. Even my mother was happy.

The scale of the event was overwhelming. The quality of almost all of the work was very high. I spent most of my time with those presenters who seemed to have a fine arts orientation. Rikki Levine, above, was something of an exception as she seemed (?) most interested in travel and documentary work. But, her book (portfolio) looked too good to ignore. Whether they knew it, not a few graduates produced material recalling John Opera or Jessica Labatte. And I should have been yet more forceful in my exhortation to go out and look at what's being made here and now.

Wenzel, like Fake, above, and Andre, in the previous article, has made use of the floor for the purpose of presenting modular units in a grid pattern. Here the invitation to the audience to walk upon the artwork is wanted to be especially cheeky: an institution (magazine) and a commercial appropriation of culture resources (gallery ad) are both trodden upon, which action symbolically mimics Wenzel's own "progress" through the real and metaphysical worlds of art.

A historical piece which points towards exceptional moments observed directly by the writer, in Chicago, over the course of the previous calendar year. Alternative, NFP, and commercial galleries, as well as art centers, museums, and public spaces, were visited more-or-less regularly, according to the nature of their programming. All artwork copyright original artists; all photography copyright Paul Germanos.
Per convention, "best of" lists and "year in review" articles are released late in December. And critics have tended to follow in lockstep. Yet such a schedule might be a cause for concern when one considers how little time in reflection is afforded the author of any such piece.
That said, it's the original scope of the critic's experience, and not the amount of time spent in reflection upon that experience, which is the greater issue in most cases. Readers have good reason to wonder about art writers: How much did he or she see in the first place? And what does it mean to be placed in a "top ten" list by a person who might have attended only ten events?
Of course, with regard to the utility of press, the writing itself counts for little; it's a publication's masthead and associated social connectivity which are really crucial. For whether the subject is artwork or the publicity related to it, heavily invested dealers, artists, directors, et al, labor to get the right bits in the right places, till the overall picture looks good–much like jigsaw puzzle work. The gaming of interpersonal relationships is, after all, the chief modality of the art world.
Let's try something different!
(1) Best Artist's Talk: "Andre Butzer @ Cochrane-Woods Art Center"
Forgoing the pretense of a rational narrative, German painter Butzer dryly delivered pre-Socratic fragments–first in his native language and then in English–alongside projections of his artwork. The audio and visual elements in combination, amounting to a performance, were, in fact, stronger than his show which followed at Rhona Hoffman Gallery.
Butzer became moderately excited when, after the lecture, I presented him with a question about Nietzsche.

(2) Best Gallery Opening: "Short Court: Tropical Aesthletics @ ANTENA"
Above: Jake Myers at left, in glasses, on the court in ANTENA.
Curated by Jake Myers and Chris Smith, a/k/a "Tag Team," and featuring 19 artists (Adam Farcus, Adam Grossi, Alberto Aguilar, Alex Bradley Cohen, Angeline Evans, Brian Wadford, Caroline Carlsmith, Cory Glick, Edra Soto, EC Brown, Irene Perez, Jeriah Hildwine, Jim Papadopoulos, Kevin Jennings, Nicole Northway, Pamela Fraser, Philip von Zweck, Thad Kellstadt, and Vincent Dermody) "Short Court: Tropical Aesthletics" was dominated by Jake Myers' own performance in the center of the gallery.
There, Myers and company (including two professional players) offered to "take on all comers" in a high-spirited volleyball match. The boisterous physical competition which ensued was entirely contrary to the quiet struggle for rank which is usually present, if unseen, at such affairs. This was good. It's yet unclear to what degree Myers' work is ironic.

(3) Best Art Writing: "Hamza Walker for The Renaissance Society"
With regard to the consistency and volume of his production, Hamza Walker has been exemplary: Every exhibition at The Renaissance Society is accompanied by a broadsheet containing one of Walker's companion essays. Curiously, these essays usually go nowhere. Are they not read? not understood? not thought to be of any value? Sunday attendance at The Ren is too often like unto church: orderly, solemn, performed for fear of damnation, and forgotten on Monday.

(4) Greatest Spectacle and Drama: "NON GRATA 'Force Majeure' @ New Capital"
The Estonian performance collective NON GRATA staged the destruction of an American-made sedan on the grounds of New Capital: outdoors, late-winter, encouraging audience participation in the act. No fig leaf of sport covered the aggression here; this was a naked, public display of violence hitherto latent in the community. And it was possible to read the event as a sort of response to the call made by Butzer a little over one month earlier.

(5) Most Noteworthy Young or "Emerging" Artists: Sarah and Joseph Belknap, Tyler Blackwell, Robert Chase Heishman, Sofia Leiby, Jake Myers, Meg Noe, Danielle Rosen, Joseph Rynkiewicz, Etta Sandry, Vincent Uribe, and Nikki Werner.
Over the course of the previous year, some memorable artwork, conversation, or public engagement was initiated by each the people listed above. Further, as a result of the good attendance at gallery openings and other events which most displayed, their names were easy to learn and remember.
(6) Best Museum Show: "The Language of Less (Then and Now) @ MCA Chicago"
Above: Dan Flavin: Untitled (for you, Leo, in long respect and affection) 3, 1978; John McCracken: Untitled, 1967.
Above: Carl Andre: Zinc-Lead Plain, 1969; Donald Judd: Untitled, 1970.
Curated by Michael Darling, the "Dimensions of Space" gallery within "The Language of Less (Then and Now)" exhibition wasn't novel, or exciting, in the conventional sense. Rather, the thing had the appearance of being the logical conclusion of a long meditation upon the fundamental unit, or building block, of the works included, viz., the square. And this formal vocabulary hasn't disappeared. For example, in "Binary Lore," the most recent show local NFP threewalls, Edie Fake recalled Carl Andre.

(7) Best Museum Opening: "Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art"
Above: Michael Rakowitz' Enemy Kitchen, opening night.
Above: Sonja Alhäuser's butter buffet billy goat, opening night.
The Smart has made an effort to push its programming outward: into its lobby and courtyard. That physical movement runs parallel to the community engagement which has been a major thematic concern of several recent exhibitions. "Feast" wasn't solely a remembrance of the past by means of a presentation of artifacts; rather, "Feast" was a new sort of moment, available to be experienced via the socialization which was possible at its opening reception.

(8) Best Performance: "Mikey McParlane @ Defibrillator"
Mikey McParlane's performance on April 1, 2012, was really something special. Relevant to contemporary gender issues (whether I'm able to tease-out any deeper meaning) McParlane presented ambiguously in the guise of a harlequin. Here, the choreography, costume, makeup, audio and lighting came together perfectly. It was weird and beautiful.

(9) Best Installation – "Jacob Hashimoto @ Rhona Hoffman"
Hashimoto's work was interesting in its own right. But, too, quite literally depending upon fiber, it recalled gallery artist Anne Wilson's past treatments of the space, and prefigured Fred Sandback's recent showing there as well. Politics aside, it's rare for a dealer (here) to survive long enough for such a formal thread to become evident–running through a succession of shows. Hashimoto was polite and professional, and he didn't need to be so.

(14) Best Photography: "Dawoud Bey @ The Renaissance Society" and "Sade Kahra @ threewalls"
Above: Dawoud Bey
Above: Sade Kahra
Bey was exactly as expected; Kahra was wholly unexpected. Both photographers presented evidence of the human condition, the bodily circumstance, of their subject. Whether relatively conventional or experimental in its execution, the genre of social documentation is alive and well. Sincere, but not maudlin, the work in each case was a relief from the tide of irony here yet to ebb.

Norton's schmutzy floral collages incorporate all manner of found objects–cast or bound together with wax and resin. If her additive Ab Ex, Neo-Dada process might recall a male figure such as Rauschenberg, her palette and penchant for translucent materials are more distinctly feminine.
After showing at Johalla Projects and the late Ebersmoore, Norton graced the MCA in 2012. In 2013 she was hired by Northwestern University; and institutional connectivity is, we all know, key to longevity in Chicago.

(I) The following errors were identified and corrected in the article above:
– "Sofia Leiby" was originally written as "Sophia Leiby"
– "Vincent Uribe" was originally written as "Vince Uribe"
– "Chris Smith" was not named as Jake Myers' partner in Tag Team
(II) Image of Jason Lazarus at ACRE Projects removed:
– On March 25, 2012, the author of the article above created a photograph of Jason Lazarus in the act of igniting fireworks in the alley behind ACRE Projects. Uploading said original digital image to Flickr, the author of the article above maintained the nomenclature which he received on-site at the time of said event: ACRE staff referred to said event as Lazarus' "Fireworks Extravaganza." Regarding that reference, for 16 months no complaint was made. Jason Lazarus saw said image on Flickr 16 months ago, left a comment on Flickr at said time, and therein made no complaint about the presence of the words "Fireworks Extravaganza" in said image's Flickr caption. After the publication of the article above a complaint was received by Bad at Sports, from ACRE, with regard to the use of the words "Fireworks Extravaganza" in said image's caption on Bad at Sports. The offending image and caption have been removed from the article above.
(III) No Endorsement:
– The author of the article above failed to clearly indicate that even as his viewing experience was his own, so too his conclusions were his own. No individual member of Bad at Sports, nor Bad at Sports collectively, ought to be assumed to endorse the article above, in part or in whole. Errors and omissions are the fault of the author of the article above, not Bad at Sports.
Likewise, with the exception of content which he has produced, the author of the article above endorses no content on Bad at Sports, whether said content is found in the blog, podcast, or in any other place.
(IV) Schmutzy:
– In the article above, an image of John McCracken's "Untitled," 1967, appears opposite Dan Flavin's "Untitled (for you, Leo, in long respect and affection) 3," 1978. Whether appropriate, McCracken has been associated with "finish fetish" artists: meticulous practitioners of craft, whose minimal objects are denominated by clean, smooth surfaces, illustrated by the mirror-like reflectivity of McCracken's piece in said image, above.
Heidi Norton, while having exhibited geometric figures in the same museum (MCA) in the same year (2012) as McCracken, is in no danger of being confused with him. Norton's work of late has been hallmarked by blobs, drips (see the image of Norton's work, above) and other surface irregularities.
The author of the article above chose to employ the word "schmutzy" to describe said formal qualities in Norton's work. "Schmutz," literally, means "dirt," though it's more broadly used to signify some foreign matter: possibly organic, probably only semi-solid, and definitely capable of making a mess. The primary meaning of the word cannot be overlooked.
Artists and critics, male and female, gay and straight, in contemporary Chicago, have set precedent for the descriptive usage. For example, the application of such material to a picture plane was the definition of "painting" provided by Vera Klement: "a mark with liquidy [sic] stuff…a recreation of the body in a way, it's the stuff that's in your body, sloshing around in there, that kind of feces, primal material," at 8:42 – 10:05, in the BaS podcast "Episode 214: Constellations: Paintings from the MCA Collection" October 4, 2009.
And prior to said statement by Klement, Jason Foumberg wrote: "paint flows expressively like an ejaculation," in his June 22, 2009, piece "Portrait of the Artist: Dutes Miller," in Newcity.
Bodily processes and sexuality might be hinted at by a word such as "schmutz" when used in relation to the appearance of Norton's work; but, the association is no more necessary than is forcing such a (bodily, sexual) reading of "finish fetish" in relation to McCracken's work. And it's wrong to conflate the artist and the artwork: a description of one ought not to taken as a description of the other. In no place has it been written that Norton is schmutzy, or is a schmutz.

You Down With OPP?: A Primer on Artist Websites
January 19, 2011 · Print This Article
** A response to this post can be found here. Enjoy!**
A few weeks ago I asked the Chicago Art Community (#chiart) for a moratorium on OtherPeoplesPixels websites. One too many poorly worded artist statements had greeted me on the homepage. I'd inadvertently downloaded my fair share of CVs. I'd had enough. OtherPeoplesPixels is a hosted web application that provides portfolio sites for artists. I've been against this ubiquitous content management system since my first encounter with an OPP-hosted loading bar. The company was founded in 2005 by artists Brian Kirkbride and Jenny Kendler. The platform is notably employed by Chicagoans Theaster Gates, Sara Schnadt and Austin Eddy. Despite its popularity, I've never met a proud OPP user. Everyone I know complains about the service and is perpetually on the verge of switching providers.
I don't mean to hate on OPP. They saw a need and they filled it. That's business. But as a graphic designer and gallery owner I'm more concerned with good design. And as Thomas Watson of IBM once said, "good design is good business.†Don't we all want to do good business? OPP is not well designed. Why does it take three clicks to see a single artwork? Shouldn't a portfolio site have the work front and center? It also wouldn't kill them to update their themes every, I don't know, five years or so. They should at least update the logo if it must be so prominently displayed on of each site.
During a lecture at the Art Institute Ed Ruscha discussed how he had used design throughout his career. He worked as a graphic designer for Art Forum under the pseudonym "Eddie Russia†and took advantage their office equipment to make his own invoices and letterhead. On the Bad at Sports podcast Jefferey Deitch attributed his success to ambition. He thinks that within the art world "if you take yourself seriously, other people will too.â€
My fundamental problem with OPP can be found in their tagline, "Spend time on your artwork, not on your website.†If you are a professional artist, meaning that you (plan to) make money from your art, these activities are not mutually exclusive. Marketing your artwork is part of the job. Don't be bothered by the word marketing. Marketing is showing or telling people what you do. If you don't want to market anything, why pay $160/year (OPP's going rate) for a website? Just skip it and then you can really spend time on your artwork. Otherwise, let's think this through.
The first step is to define your Unique Selling Proposition. Your USP is why anyone would want to buy/read/listen to/look at your shit instead of someone else's. Once you've figured that out, consider your goals and your audience. Most artists have similar goals (to make work, to show work and to sell work) and similar audiences (peers, curators, dealers and collectors). When you know what you want to accomplish and who you want to reach, you can begin looking for website solutions that best serve your purposes.
An artist website can be as simple as a few images and contact information or much more comprehensive. Regardless of their needs every client I've ever had has always requested that their site be "simple†and "easy to update.†Assuming that as a given, here are a few suggestions:
If You Are A Hopeless Luddite:
Don't DIY. Save yourself the stress and hire a professional (me). If you find someone who will do it for free, let them have fun with the project and complete it at their leisure. If you hassle them or promise them exposure they have my permission to punch you.
If You Can Get Down With Facebooks/Twitter/Etc.:
Pick Arlo Sites for a complete solution. $100/yr gets you well-designed themes, unlimited images, video, audio, blogs and social media integration. Steve Ruiz of Chicago Art Review wrote a long post about using Tumblr as a portfolio site. I've seen that work successfully, but make sure you back up regularly because their server goes on vacation once a month.
If You Customized Your Livejournal/Had A Geocities Site/Know How To Weave Dreams:
Indexhibit is content management system that was created by artist Daniel Eatock. It's particularly good at handling projects and sorting information chronologically. Indexhibit was built to be extremely flexible and if you can handle the rude forum dwellers it's a brilliant option. My personal favorite is WordPress. While it was originally conceived as a blogging platform, WordPress can be configured to do just about anything. For two very different examples compare the Bad at Sports website and the visual arts calendar On The Make. Both sites run on WordPress! The Portfolio Theme by Raygun gives you the Indexhibit look with the power to scale.
It's better to have no website than a bad one. A scan of business card would be more effective than some dirt style design. If you want to be treated like a professional artist you should have the highest quality of documentation that you can get, you should know how to talk and write about your art and every designed element, from the paper you print on to the typeface you choose to your domain name, should be working for you. The most important tools for your practice are your images and your words. An understanding of design lets you communicate with intention.
Sorry I Can't Cry For Annie Leibovitz
August 1, 2009 · Print This Article
I wish Annie Leibovitz well and hope she gets her financial situation back on track and doesn't suffer the pain shared by The Beatles and Stones which is the never ending chase to put the genie (rights to your own work) back in the bottle once you have sold it. Aside from that I can't bring myself to shed a tear or show any shock over her situation.
If you haven't had a chance to read up on this, on July 29th Ms. Leibovitz was sued by Art Capital Group in the NY State Supreme Court for failure to pay towards a loan of $24 million that she took. The collateral for this was properties in Greenwich Village and in Rhinebeck, N.Y., her negatives and the rights to her photographs.
Essentially the bulk of her assets.
Now after failure to make the basic payments Art Capital Group has successfully pursued payment in the courts and is gaining access to the collateral with the goal of liquefying the assets to regain the funds. Ms. Leibovitz has not commented on the actions and I don't see any advantage to commenting but sadly it is reported that this is not the first time she has had problems making proper financial payments to clients or the state for taxes.
The point is this is not a rare case in the Art world, many many artists and creative professionals regularly take upon themselves financial responsibilities that they are ill prepared to handle or worse ignore all together. Only to learn that ignorance isn't a defense in the court and a lifetimes worth of work and struggle can be lost in the balance of a few or single bad financial decisions.
I know it feels like it is hard to find people to trust, or you don't want to have some "parental" figure limiting your decisions or options but the business side of art is as important in the long term if not in many ways more important in enabling great work to be produced and shared with the world.
Please take this opportunity to take a good hard look at your current situation if this current economy hasn't made you already and ask yourself are you properly taking care of your long term finances and are adequately planing for trouble and can personally handle that responsibility yourself. If the answer is no, find someone skilled who you can partner with to make sure you don't sign contracts or do expenditures you will live the rest of your life regretting.
Life in Art is hard enough, don't be your own worst enemy.
"Ferris Bueller" at BelieveInn
June 4, 2009 · Print This Article
I recently had a chance to check out part of BelieveInn's "Out of Towners" lineup, their current show, Ferris Bueller, featuring work from Porous Walker, with Gabe Levinson and Timothy Pigott. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was, coincidentally, the first (and probably the last) film I ever enjoyed on LaserDisc.
San Francisco–based Porous Walker said that he wanted to bring to life parts of the film "that were never seen.†When I asked him why this film in particular, he said "Because it's a great film, that's all, simple.  And because I knew Camerons house was going on the market so I hoped the two could somehow mesh and help promote." Artists with heart, that is what I like to see.
The BelieveInn space is the lower half of a house set back from the street. Three of the walls (and the ceiling) of the tiny immaculate front room was filled with Walker's drawings, which are pretty damn funny caricatures of naked women with sagging breasts and hair clips, and naked men with either very large, or very small, penises. Clean in form and raunchy in content, the illustrations are like the jokes that come right after fart jokes but before you find your dads Playboy. And who doesn't think about the cashiers at Trader Joe's without their clothes on, really?
Gabe Levinson and Timothy Pigott's work was orderly installed on one wall, adding a nice grid counterbalance to the rest of the room. Pigott's portraits of "Characters Not in the Movie", consisted of head shot sketches of dweeby men referencing different details of the film. Levinson's piece, "Dudes Thinking About Dudes", were depictions of just that, kind of a one liner homo joke framed in construction paper.
Overall, the show feels like an articulate, very naughty boy's bedroom, and can pretty much be summed up in Levinson's paper plane installation instructions: 1) Tear out a page 2)Make a paper airplane 3)Aim it at someone's head 4) Don't apologize.
I missed the opening of this show, but I'm planning on catching the closing on June 21st from 1-4 pm.

Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

2013 NFL Schedule: Ravens will open in Denver for 2013 NFL Kickoff
The Ravens will open the 2013 NFL schedule with the 2013 NFL Kickoff game in Denver.
The Super Bowl champion Ravens will be taking a break from tradition and playing their first game on the road, in Denver against the Broncos, league sources told CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora.
|More on NFL schedule
|Related links
The 2013 NFL schedule has been released, and the first game of the season won't be in Baltimore, despite the Ravens taking home the Lombardi Trophy.
The Ravens faced the issue of convincing Major League Baseball to move the Orioles' scheduled home game on Thursday night, Sept. 5, in order to accommodate the 2013 NFL Kickoff game and were pinched because of religious holidays. Roger Goodell expressed optimism at the 2013 NFL owners meetings that the league could work with MLB, the Orioles and the city of Baltimore to make something work.
And the Ravens were even invited to opening day. But, ultimately, the Orioles decided they wouldn't budge on moving their game to help out the local football team.
On Wednesday, I wrote about 10 non-divisional games I want to see in primetime. On that list was Ravens at Broncos, mainly because of the likelihood it would end up being the 2013 NFL Kickoff game.
But there's also plenty of drama involved in this showdown. For one, the Ravens don't get to start their championship defense at home. That's a killer. Secondly, the last time these teams played, the Broncos appeared poised toward heading for the AFC Championship Game before Joe Flacco hit Jacoby Jones for a deep pass that torched Rahim Moore and stunned the world.
And third, this offseason featured Elvis Dumervil moving from Denver to Baltimore thanks in large part to faulty fax machine usage.
It's certainly not the ideal setup for the Ravens, and it's a tough first opponent for the Broncos. But the 2013 NFL Kickoff is going to feature a ton of drama and storylines. Even when the NFL can't have its way, things still manage to work out all right.

Field ExperiencesPage address: http://ed.mnsu.edu/eec/fieldexperience.html
Field experiences are a vital component in the teacher preparation program. Future teachers in MSU's Elementary Education programs will complete several field experiences as part of their preparation. The most intense of these experiences are:
Elementary Education Students
- A 30-hour school observation completed as part of EEC 215 - Introduction to Elementary Education.
- A 4-week, half day experience completed near the end of the Block 1 semester.
- A 4-week, full-day experience completed near the end of the Block 2 semester.
- Block 3 field experience is currently under development.
The Block field experiences are designed to prepare the future teacher for student teaching, and are in fact in the nature of a mini-student teaching experience.
EEC candidates are being recognized as extremely well-prepared as we have redesigned our program to provide extensive scaffolding for the edTPA process. EEC candidates benefit from 600 plus hours of field experience prior to student teaching. This is several times more than that which is required by the Board of Teaching.
We take pride in recruiting and retaining effective supervisors for these field experiences. Mentor teachers and principals have commented on how well-prepared they find our teacher candidates. Because they are being so effectively taught through the EEC program, they are ready to hit the ground running once they start their field experience or student teaching.

Walls are up and construction is on schedule for Canyon Independent School District's new intermediate school on Hillside Drive and designs are in progress for a new Canyon High School near the southern city limits.
Board members toured the Greenways Intermediate construction site and saw progress on the renovations at Westover Park Intermediate this past week.
Greenways will open to about 750 fifth- and sixth-graders in August.
The building, on Hillside Drive near Coulter Road, has a separate wing for each grade and offices, library, cafeteria, art and music rooms in the center.
Valleyview Junior High Principal Steve West will be the leader at the new school. He said the floor plan was developed from teacher requests to have light in every classroom.
West said he likes the configuration of the building.
"We're able to keep fifth- and sixth-graders on one end and all the common facilities in the middle," he said.
West currently deals with eighth- and ninth-graders, and looks forward to the younger set.
"I like that age," he said. "They're lively and still young enough to impress upon."
North elementary schools, Arden Road, Lakeview, Gene Howe and Sundown Lane, will shift to kindergarten through fourth when fifth-graders relocate to Greenways.
Assistant Superintendent for District Operations Mike Wartes said construction is on schedule for completion in July.
Westover students will get extra classrooms, a gym and band hall.
The shell for three science labs and two classrooms and outside walls for a gym and band hall are up. Building should be completed in May.
Canyon High is still in the design phase with plans to break ground in January, said Superintendent James Veitenheimer. The existing high school will be converted to a junior high and the current junior high will become an intermediate school.
The site for the new high school is between Highway 87 and 26th Street, just south of 17th Avenue.
In addition to these projects, all elementary schools without a gym will receive one. Other renovations, including technology upgrades, will occur at all campuses.

Hemoglobin "lives" inside of our red blood cells. It is responsible for transporting oxygen to every part of our body. If we were void of hemoglobin, we are void of life. Each hemoglobin molecule is responsible for transporting 4 oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms are picked up at the alveoli of the lungs. At this point the "red blood cell leaves the arteries and moves into the tiny capillaries deep in the body tissues, and the environment around the red blood cell changes." In these areas of the body, it is much warmer, and more acidic due to the carbon dioxide. All of these signals tell the hemoglobin molecules inside the red blood cell to release oxygen. In return, the hemoglobin picks up carbon dioxide for its return back to the lungs. Your red blood cells will repeat this process thousands of times in its 120 day life span. Iron poor blood is directly related to hemoglobin because of its nucleus. The nucleus of hemoglobin is iron. In fact, "without the four essential iron atoms in a hemoglobin molecule, the other 10,000 atoms in the molecule are useless."
The central nucleus of most chlorophyll molecules is magnesium. When carefully examining illustrations of the two molecules you will see striking resemblances. Dr. Hans Fisher and a group of his associates received the Noble Prize for their work on red blood cells. "The scientists noticed that human blood, which carries oxygen to all our cells, is practically identical to chlorophyll on the molecular level."
And, in 1930, Dr. A Zin showed that an injection of chlorophyll increased the red blood cell count of animals that displayed a normal, healthy hemoglobin count. Dr. J.H. Hughs and A.L. Latner reported in the Journal of Physiology in 1936 that animals that they purposely made anemic were able to regenerate their hemoglobin levels 50% higher than average, and were able to approximate their previous blood values in just two weeks. The scientists then concluded in their report that: "It seems, therefore, that the animal body is capable of converting chlorophyll to hemoglobin."
The best chlorophyll to use for this purpose is raw, crude, unrefined chlorophyll. This can be found in wheatgrass juice in alarming amounts. In fact, 70% of the solid matter in wheatgrass juice is raw, crude chlorophyll. Wheatgrass juice contains liquid oxygen. It is also a good source of key vitamins like folic acid, and minerals like iron, potassium and copper. All of these things, the oxygen and the iron are all needed in order to maintain healthy red blood cells and hemoglobin levels. The proper oxygenation of your blood that wheatgrass juice delivers "stimulates digestion (the oxidation of food), clearer thinking (the brain utilizes 25 percent of the bodily oxygen supply), and protective oxygenation of the blood (a defense against anaerobic bacteria. It also promotes better circulation of the blood, ultimately nourishing every cell in the body." Wheatgrass juice can be used as a tremendous building block when treating anemia or blood lost.
Instead of having blood drives, and collecting gallons of blood from human hosts, we can have wheatgrass drives, where we supply fresh wheatgrass juice to patients suffering from anemia or various other blood diseases. Wheatgrass juice has been PROVEN to help regenerate and rebuild the blood. It supplies both oxygen and iron, which is essential for hemoglobin regeneration, and is responsible for supplying oxygen to all of our body tissues and organs. It can be used as an alternative treatment for people who prefer no-blood treatment, and as a means to eliminate blood borne pathogens transmitted through blood transfusions. Wheatgrass juice is an excellent way to increase your hemoglobin levels and your health, giving you a better way to get well.

James conceived the story of "The Jolly Corner" during his extended visit to America of 1904-5. Returning to his home country for the first time in over twenty years, James was overwhelmed by the speed and extent of the changes that had taken place in his absence. He notes in The American Scene (1907) that the New York of his childhood had been so "violently overpainted" with new tenements and skyscrapers that the city skyline now resembled "some colossal hair-comb turned upward and … deprived of half its teeth". James saw social as well as material change. Industrialisation and immigration had transformed the demographics of the Eastern Seaboard, and had problematised the concept of an American national identity. …

Hellickson "Felt Great" First Time Throwing Post-Surgery
Jeremy Hellickson made 25 throws from flat ground today for his first action since undergoing elbow surgery in January and afterward the Rays right-hander told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times that ?it felt really good.?
At the time of the surgery to remove ?loose bodies? from his elbow Hellickson was expected to be out until May, but today he called late May a ?best-case scenario? while focusing on June 1 as the new target date.

Courtney Love, due in court Friday for a drug-rehab progress report, was taken by ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital late Wednesday "and released immediately," her publicist says.
Love was hospitalized after she was at an entertainment-industry party for a jeans brand at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Not feeling well and nearly fainting, the singer went outside for air, her rep, Jill Fritzo, said in a statement, adding: "A friend called an ambulance for precaution."
Los Angeles police Officer Kristi Sandoval tells the Los Angeles Times that officers filed a report involving a "Courtney L." in the Hollywood area about 10 minutes after midnight Wednesday. Sandoval called the report confidential and would not discuss it.
Love's attorney, Michael Rosenstein, is quoted in the New York Post as saying his client is doing "fine. She's living a drug-free life. She had a negative test last week."
In February, Love, 41, was sentenced to three years' probation and anger management counseling after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor assault on a woman at the home of her former boyfriend.

Awesome pic reaper
September 3, 2010, 01:15 PM
Thanks reaper for that pic,its just what I was looking for. Also should I worried about having a kaboom in a Glock 27? This is what I'm wanting as a carry gun and I've read a lot of stuff about kabooms in Glock .40's.
However it seems that it almost always involves reloaded or cheap factory ammo. Is a kaboom something I should even be concerned about? I don't reload or shoot reloaded or lead bullets,I'd only be using quality jacketed factory ammo in the Glock 27 when I get one,thanks.
September 3, 2010, 01:24 PM
I am assuming that the gen 4 barrel will fit a gen 1,2 or 3 slide with no problems. Wonder if it would make any difference. My g27 hasn't gone boom yet. But, I can only assume that Glock thought it was a good idea to add more support for the casing for some reason. Does this mean that they realize there might have been a problem? I wonder...:scrutiny:
September 3, 2010, 01:47 PM
Nice pic reaper.
My 23C factory barrel has slightly more support than yours (pretty close to the aftermarket barrel pic).
If the OP is concerned on any Glock he owns or is considering purchasing, it doesn't take but about 30 seconds to pull the barrel out and examine the case/barrel fit.

September 3, 2010, 06:34 PM
Well my Glock 40s must be defective then. They are well beyond 1000 rounds.:what:
Just try to imagine how many Glock 40s have been produced and sold, and how many kabooms you have heard about. People are going to do stupid things, factory ammo and reloads aren't perfect, and crap happens. Everything else you read on the internet is true though.
September 3, 2010, 09:12 PM
Also should I worried about having a kaboom in a Glock 27?
Of course not. The .40 Glock is the most popular pistol in the country. It is used by 7,500+ U.S. PD's and many more in Canada, Australia and other lesser nations. It is also a top commercial seller and the king of its class in the various gun games. They would not be the most popular .40 pistol on the planet if this was a real problem. Stop listening to internet idiots who have most likely never even held a Glock.
September 3, 2010, 09:15 PM
I am assuming that the gen 4 barrel will fit a gen 1,2 or 3 slide with no problems. Wonder if it would make any difference.
Nothing has been done to the GEN4 chamber. The increase in support was done 10~ years ago.
September 3, 2010, 09:16 PM
Just try to imagine how many Glock 40s have been produced and sold,
As of 2007 Glock sold 5 Million pistols. Most being 9x19mm and .40.

There is no such thing as a "fully supported chamber" unless you're shooting a revolver or single-shot pistol.
With a Glock,
1.) Don't shoot lead bullets in the stock barrel.
2.) Don't shoot reloaded ammunition in the stock barrel, whether is was reloaded by you, a commercial enterprise, or anyone else
3.) Buy an aftermarket barrel with conventional land-and-groove rifling if you want to shoot non-jacketed lead bullets
...and you should have no problems. If you don't reload your own ammo and don't buy reloaded ammo from shady guys at the local gun show, then you will have no problems with your Glock.
September 3, 2010, 09:53 PM
I would recommend the following:
- Do shoot YOUR reloads as long as they are loaded to current published load data for your specific bullet type and components are in good serviceable condition (I use mid to high range load data). Toss any questionable components.
- Do shoot YOUR lead reloads but inspect the chamber/barrel every 200-300 rounds or so for lead fouling build up and clean as necessary.
- If you do a lot of shooting with lead reloads, consider an after market barrel with conventional land/groove rifling, tighter chamber and better case base support at ramp area.
- If you reload your rounds near max load data+ and get bulged cases, lower your powder charge. If you won't, I strongly recommend an after market barrel so the brass don't get over-worked too much.
Be safe but have a lot of fun with your Glocks.
September 3, 2010, 11:50 PM
Glock does suggest you not shoot lead bullets in stock barrels because their rifling tends to build up lead fairly quickly. This has been demonstrated in tests of their barrels.
I would have to disagree about not shooting your own non-lead reloads out of a GLOCK however. Stock service pistol division of IDPA would not exist if we could not shoot reloads out of our GLOCK pistols. Everyone shoots reloads out of their GLOCKs, and if you know what you are doing, you will have no problems.
The cheapest alternative to lead in GLOCKS is Berry's plated bullets or Ranier Plated bullets. They are ALMOST as cheap as lead, and don't leave lead deposits in your bore, or on you while you handle them.

Unique 1898 Decorated Baseball Trophy Stein
Starting Bid - $200.00, Sold For - $928.00
This pewter tankard, with attached lid, appears at first glance to be a simple trophy awarded to the starting shortstop on the "99" ball club. That information is apparent from the engraving on the front that reads, "Class Base Ball Championship 1898 Won By '99 J. Nowell, S.S." It is also functional, designed to be a pitcher. A peek inside the lid, however, reveals the unique nature of this presentation piece. There, inlaid along the bottom of the tankard, is a reverse-painted glass slide picturing the "99" ball club. Eleven team members are present, including the manager, with the majority bearing the number "99" on their jerseys. The nine-inch tall tankard displays minor surface wear and tarnishing and is in Excellent condition overall. The interior photo, which is colorized and illuminates when held to the light, is in Near Mint condition. This is an extremely unique and very elaborately constructed piece, designed to be a trophy, function as a stein, and be a photographic keepsake. We have never seen another baseball trophy of this unusual style. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$600. SOLD FOR $928.00

Our Cherries and Essential Oils are 'in a Jam'.We picked and pitted 50lbs of cherries in the last 3 days. I'm glad to say our counters are cherry free for the moment--unless they're in jars becoming wine, in pie, in bags as leathers, or canned as 'Tango Cherry Jam'. Having not yet tasted the wine, we can't know for sure until that's done, but so far the Tango Cherry Jam is by far the best result of our picking adventure. And I have to share.
Tango Cherry Jam by Schoolhouse Farm
- 5lbs Bing Cherries washed, pitted and mashed up.
- 2.5cups sugar
- 1 package Sure Gel Low Sugar Pectin
- 1 cup of water
- 10 drops Certified Pure Tangerine Essential Oil (ask us how you can get some free!)
In a separate pot mix water, sugar and pectin. Over the burner stir constantly until it comes to a boil, then allow to boil while mixing for 1 minute.
Quickly pour the pectin mixture over your cherries and stir in quickly and thoroughly. Pour into clean canning jars leaving 1/2inch headroom, cover and allow to sit on the counter over night or until set.
Store in the freezer or in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Makes about 9 8oz jars.

Featured Golf News
Work Resumes on Tribal Course in Western Washington
After a multi-year hiatus, work has re-started on Salish Cliffs Golf Club, an 18-hole track designed by Gene Bates.
Salish Cliffs Rendering
The course is being built by the Squaxin Island Tribe next to its Little Creek Casino on the outskirts of Shelton, Wash. The resort is accessible by highway from Tacoma, and is across Puget Sound via ferry from Seattle.
The par 72, 7,300-yard track is now slated for a fall 2010 opening. Site prep had begun back in 2006, but the slow American economy brought the project to a halt. (For more background on the project, visit http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/building_a_new_track_part_1).
Squaxin Island Tribe officials believe 2010 is a more propitious time to complete the course and they envision big things for their new venue. "Salish Cliffs is dramatically beautiful, comparable to famous courses nationwide," said the tribe's executive director, Ray Peters.
"It's only a matter of time before Salish Cliffs is a staple among Pacific Northwest golfers and a favorite resort destination for visitors," he added.
Offering 360-degree views of the Kamilche Valley (Squaxin for "Pleasant Valley"), the course crafted by Bates involves 16 holes encircled by woodlands and natural vegetation. The venue is named after the property's rocky outcrops - some of which soar upwards of 600 feet.
The elevation changes are clearly seen at the 12th hole, a 437-yard, par-4 offering broad panoramas from the tee and a 100-foot drop from fairway to green. The primary hazard here will be the large, cavernous bunker along the left of the fairway that extends up and around the face of the putting surface.
Another stern test can be found at the 440-yard, par-4 16th, which features a banana-like dogleg-right fairway that plays along a hillside and is lined by wetlands.
The front and back nines will conclude at a 15,000-square-foot double-green. The ninth is a 415-yard par-4, while the closing hole is a risk-reward, 540-yard par-5.
Unusual for a Western Washington track, Salish Cliffs will boast bentgrass tees, greens and fairways, with ryegrass sown in the rough. The course has already achieved a rarity in golf, earning "Salmon Safe Certification" for its protection of native wetlands and wildlife habitats.
The Florida-based Bates has made his mark in Northwest golf, having designed the highly acclaimed Circling Raven Golf Club in Worley, Idaho, just south of Coeur d'Alene. Other recent projects include his remodel of Bayonet Black Horse in Monterey, Calif., which brought that 36-hole facility into the rankings for the "100 Greatest Courses in America" and "Best in State" by Golf Digest and Golfweek, respectively.
About Little Creek Casino Resort
Owned and operated by the Squaxin Island Tribe, Little Creek Casino Resort features nearly 190 well-appointed rooms. The casino showcases more than 900 slots and table games, including poker, blackjack, craps, roulette and Texas Hold-Em. Nationally-known, live comedy, music and other acts perform in the resort's Skookum Creek Event Center that hosts business and events for up to 2,000 guests.
Little Creek Casino Resort and Salish Cliffs Golf Club are situated just off Highway 101 north of the state capitol of Olympia. For more information, call 800/667-7711 or visit www.little-creek-casino.com.

I acquired a 311ae second hand and the boom can't be tightened because of use. I guess just rotating the boom over time has worn away the vinyl like coating and just gold metal is showing.
Is there a fix for this or should I order another boom. Also, is the boom easy to replace by an end user.

Vt. Fish and Wildlife benefits from woman's estate
MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife says its going to use a $500,000 bequest from an East Montpelier woman to support programs that protect nongame species like the bald eagle or Canada lynx.
The department said that when Mamie Thurston died last winter at age 87 she left her home, property, belongings and financial assets to the department.
Steve Parren, director of the Wildlife Diversity Program, said Thurstons bequest will be used to fill budget gaps and that her legacy will long be reflected by the species and lands that her donation will help protect.
The Nongame Wildlife Fund is paid for with private donations and federal grants, which have been hit hard by recent federal budget cuts.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

So I think it is reasonable to wonder whether that decision by NBC is any kind of business model that the network will repeat ...
Well, blind Freddie could have seen this one coming. Of course he retires now; saves the embarrassment of what would have happened to him at Nationals.
My biggest question is, what happens to the money that he was begging his fans to donate for his training? They ought to get a refund since he clearly had no intention of trying anymore.
I'll tell you this--there are lots of angry gay men about Johnny getting this job from the gay chat sites I've read. They think the only way he can redeem himself is to wear a rainbow flag and stand in the middle of the opening ceremonies--preferably atop the Olympic cauldron--and denounce the Russian law in no uncertain terms. I'm all for it though--I think with more experience he can be the new Uncle Dick Button. He's got that combination of sass and knowledge that could make for some VERY colorful commentary.
I hope the addition of both Johnny and Tanith will provide voices which will help viewers better understand in a user-friendly way, the IJS system. It is 10 years in use and even the dedicated skating fan struggles (as do - evidently - some of the judges).
Jammers, are you trying to slight Kwan, or Abbott, or Evan, or who? The consistent thing about champions (usually) is that they don't know when to quit, we've seen that over and over. They LOVE competing, or training, or winning, or something, and it drives them.
Johnny tried to compete last year. It wasn't happening. Let's get past the end of his on-ice career and all enjoy this, hopefully long-lasting, second career in broadcast.
I remember during 2006 Olympics, there was a program called Olympic Ice in cable channel. Weir was one of the stars there and appeared in several episodes. Once, he asked Dick Button who was then a distinctive analyist hosting "Push Dick's Button", "Hay, Mr. Button, can I takeover your position after you retired?" Now Weir's dream came true!
More of Johnny's thoughts about retirement:
Johnny Weir-Voronov @JohnnyGWeir 2h
I hate the idea of retirement meaning to let your belt out a couple notches and going golfing. Off to sweat on the ice. #stayfit
I really wish we had more ice shows in the US--or a pro circuit--so we could still Johnny, and soon many other top skaters, performing. Whatever happened to the pro competitions ISU was supposed to launch?

NSA weaves web of secrets: Letters to the editor
When I heard that the proposed new rules over the National Security Agency had been watered down, I wanted to know what were the rules before and after. Then I realized it doesn't matter.
A secret spy organization requests a secret warrant from a secret court that issues secret rulings.
After the secret ruling, the NSA -- FBI, Department of Homeland Security take your pick -- does whatever it wants anyway. If there is a chance a stink will be raised, the regime's teams of lawyers will come up with slimy double talk to cover their backsides.
Reform is never meant to happen. Reform legislation is meant to fool the public into believing expansion is shrinkage. Government agencies never allow themselves to shrink. Limited always becomes unlimited. Temporary always ends up being permanent.
The resolution is dissolution.
The "how" is panarchism or Lew Rockwell's anarcho-capitalism. Google them.

Maybe national
service needed
On June 6, in Viewpoint, the Erie Times-News published the editorial "Remembering D-Day vets, 70 years later," and then in Your View was a well-written letter from Dan Casey regarding the upswing in violence in Erie ("Erie turning into ghost town").
Sadly, what Casey outlined is happening all over our country in cities and small towns. After reading both articles, I couldn't help but wonder if the current gangs and hoodlum situation would be different if we still had the draft? Perhaps there is a place in our society for some type of mandatory service to our country for both young men and women, and could or would it make a difference? Just a thought.

NFL not using
'L' lamented
Back in MCMLXIX, when I was XV years old, my hometown New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. The score was XVI-VII. In the years that followed, I came to appreciate the NFL's use of Roman numerals to designate each championship matchup.
There's something massive and angular about Roman numerals; they were designed for marble monuments and granite cornerstones. They evoke an ancient gladiatorial era, and thus go very well with football. If baseball numbered each World Series, the graceful curves of the Arabic system would be more appropriate. But the Super Bowl needs its X's, I's and V's.
Imagine my surprise, then, to learn that the NFL will use the number 50 for the MMXVI game, foregoing the Roman numeral L.
Apparently, someone thought the stand-alone letter L was weird-looking or, as one source put it, "asymmetrical." I read elsewhere that L might be associated with "loser." What does that mean? People wouldn't watch the game?
I realize that Roman numerals are outdated; a lot of folks don't want to be bothered trying to decipher them. And yet the NFL has said it will go back to them for Super Bowl LI. Just think: for the 54th Super Bowl, the coin toss could be handled by actresses Liv Tyler and Liv Ullmann.
So why skip L? In our rapidly morphing world, why not hang on to one small link to the past? How could Commissioner Roger Goodell, a guy with as cool a first name as that, agree to something so uncool?
I won't be around for the 100th NFL championship game. But my sons will be. My oldest will be LXXI years old in MMLXVI, and the other two a few years younger. They'll watch the game with their grandchildren on some sort of Jetsonian hologram device I can't even imagine. And when they do, let's hope the logo will read "Super Bowl C." It goes very well with "centennial," doesn't it?
So write to Goodell and tell him to stick with the Roman numeral L. Do it today. What are you waiting IV?

Where's video
from weather buoy?
Can someone explain to me why we can see a live stream of a polar bear living in the Arctic, or a seal frolicking off the shores of California, or a rat running through the New York sewer system, or a shark swimming in the ocean, or the Martian rover, 34 million miles away, etc., but we can't see a live stream from a buoy sitting 2 miles off the peninsula?
I'm confused. I promise I won't moon the camera when I'm out perch fishing. Well, maybe I will, but so what?

Sentencing cats
to country lethal
It's that time again. Stray cats will be dumped in our backyard. They were fun for a while, but now they are a problem.
So what makes you think country people want extra cats? I accepted a black female and had her neutered. I also have a neutered male. My neighbor's three cats were attacked and killed. When you dump your cats out here, their future is nil. Your friendly companion is food for coyotes, hawks, etc. He can no longer cuddle up to you. He is a meal for wild animals.
Next time you have a cat while in college or allow it to breed, think about its future and have a heart. I am moving into Erie and will leave my cats with my son where they are safe and fed. That is the least you can do for a pet that has been loyal and loving while you are in college or whatever.
