fleeting components
Fleeting Components Ep. 3- Kristen Roos' Electrosmog
Fleeting Components is a micro doc series following the experimental radio broadcasting platform, RADIUS through it's year long series, GRIDS. The GRIDS series consists of four mobile commissioned radio broadcasts at four different Chicago geographical locations throughout the 2014 calendar year.
Radius Ep 54 – theradius.us/grids
Electrosmog is concerned with themes of electromagnetism and material processes which sonify inaudible events. Using an electrosmog high frequency receiver, Roos captures sounds produced by mobile phones, wireless phones, wifi, microwaves, and other electronic devices (between 800 MHz – 2.5 GHz). Important to electrosmog is that wifi operates on the same frequency as a microwave oven (2.4GHz), and when modulated into audible frequencies, wifi sounds like pops and clicks and a microwave creates a deep drone.

Material Sounds
Cross Waves is a Canadian Sound Art series that includes performances and internet radio programs curated by eight media artists representing various regional and cultural perspectives in Canada. This edition is curated by Anna Friz. Friz's radio and performance program "Material Sounds" explores the materiality of sound, and artists who collaborate with every day devices to reveal audible but unstable systems of sound and signal.
Featuring work by Kristen Roos, Nancy Tobin, The User (Emmanuel Emmanuel Madan, Thomas McIntosh), Andrea Jane Cornell, Peter Peter Courtemanche, Music for Lamps (Adam Basanta, Max Stein, Julian Stein), and Gambletron. Read more here
RADIUS: GRIDS book
The Radius GRIDS book is now available for $5.00 from Half Letter Press, Chicago.
Featuring interviews with Kristen Roos, Amanda Gutierrez, Ethan Rose, and Radio Aktiv (Antye Greie-Ripatti, Brett A. Bloom, and Bonnie Fortune)
The GRIDS series consists of four mobile commissioned radio broadcasts at four different Chicago geographical locations throughout the 2014 calendar year. The transmissions occurred at either working or now defunct electrical production or distribution centers. Using a low-power FM transmitter – the Audio Relay Unit – that can be powered by solar panels, the broadcasts specifically addressed how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed in the event of radio broadcast. Radius has previously supported and broadcast audio work that makes inaudible energy fields audible. GRIDS continues to investigate the sonic qualities of electromagnetic energy and specific sites that produce this energy.
3 tracks from a new music project using computers and electronic equipment from the 1980's and 90's –
Radius highlights Episode 54: Kristen Roos in the next program of the ongoing Sketchpad series. Sketchpad is a monthly radio program produced for Wave Farm. Wave Farm is a non-profit arts organization that celebrates creative and community use of media and the airwaves, providing access to transmission technologies and support for artists and organizations that engage with media as an art form.
The Sketchpad program features a re-broadcast of previous Radius episodes. Each episode is followed by a playlist of works selected by that episode's artist. The series seeks to highlight the peripheral work that influences the research and production of the episode.
Someplaces: Radio Art, Transmission Ecology and Chicago's Radius
As part of a recent yearly theme on "Grids" Radius tackled the electro-magnetic field space of the city by inviting four artists to create new works to be performed near power stations. In his piece electrosmog, Canadian artist Kristen Roos utilized a high frequency receiver to sonify signal activity in the 800 MHz – 2.5 GHz range, which includes mobile phones, wireless phones, wifi, and microwaves. His site-specific performance took place overlooking the Fisk Generating Station in Chicago, and included microwave ovens and micro-watt transmission to a sound system made of radio receivers. Thus the work was site-specific to both the transmission ecology of urban Chicago and the field effects of the electrical grid, mixing material signals with a speculative approach as to what the cumulative effects of living in this built environment characterized by centralized power could be. In Roos' work, radio space contextualized and revealed the real–though naturalized and often invisible–relationships between people, things, and systems, where a microwave oven gestured at both danger and musicality.

Define HAL's role in MMRCA project: Dassault to Def Min

After bagging the multi-billion dollar deal for supplying 126 Rafale fighter aircraft to the IAF, French firm Dassault Aviation has asked the Defence Ministry to define the role of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in the project.
If the contract is finalised, the first 18 aircraft would be supplied by Dassault directly to the Indian Air Force and the remaining 108 would be licence-produced at HAL facilities in Bangalore.
The French Dassault has asked the Ministry to define the role of the premier Indian aerospace company in the final delivery of the 108 aircraft to be produced in India, industry sources.
As per the IAF tender issue for the project, the primary role for integration and supply of these aircraft would be of the HAL, which is successfully working on several important fighter aircraft projects such as the Su-30MKI project.
The French company has told the Ministry that if it is given the overall responsibility for the project, it should be given the freedom to decide on the proportion of work to be done by the HAL and private companies in the programme, they said.
In that case, the firm would determine the role of the defence and security wing of a new Indian defence company in the project and a major share of work would be given to it, they said.
Soon after Dassault was declared as the lowest bidder for the MMRCA (Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft) deal pipping EAD's Eurofighter, it signed an MoU with a Reliance Industries Limited company for working together in the security sector. It is currently negotiating the deal with the Defence Ministry and the IAF.
For completing the Indian project, Dassault has also opened an Indian subsidiary company here. The company named Dassault Aircraft Services India Private Limited (DASIPL) was set up recently and it is 100 per cent owned by its French parent company, they said.

Kingsway outlasted Williamstown for the Tri-County Conference Royal Division title last year in girls' soccer, and the Braves refused to allow it to happen again.
In a physical and emotional game between fierce rivals, Williamstown came out on top Tuesday, edging the host Dragons, 2-1, to clinch the division title.
Both of the Braves goals came in the first half from sophomore Ashley Engler.
"It's a big win for us, really big," Engler said.
The victory left Williamstown at 16-2-1 overall and 9-0 in the Tri-County Royal. Kingsway fell to 14-3-1 and 7-2-1.
"Kingsway did a great job last year and took it from us, One of our goals was to get it back to Williamstown," Braves coach Dan Torcasio said.

Why is post office hiding religious Christmas stamp?
This isn't about the SAFE Act, fracking or immigration. Instead, I write about the mailing I received recently from the U.S. Postal Service promoting its holiday stamps. I am the first to appreciate a desire for equality at the holidays and I welcome a promotion of all faiths and celebrations. "All" is the operative word here. What used to be a cry for equal recognition for Kwanzaa and Hanukkah – to have equal time and be held up alongside Christmas – has now swung the pendulum beyond the "equal center."
This is about the USPS voluntarily and intentionally, through a direct mailing to American homes, endorsing two other wonderful religious/cultural celebrations and intentionally omitting our nation's longest-standing national holiday called Christmas. When I saw the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa stamps, I was excited until I realized that the third stamp was that of a gingerbread house placed between the others. That's it – a solitary gingerbread house as the third "holiday" celebratory stamp. Maybe a gingerbread house is the new symbol for atheism.
This sure looks like faith discrimination to me. Whether you subscribe to any religious belief is not my point, because I absolutely respect your right to do so or not. This also is not about whether the post office sells a religious Christmas stamp, because I know it does. In fact, that reinforces my position because the Postal Service purposely chose not to promote it alongside the others.
It's one thing to advance equality, but please remember to include reason when doing so. And, in this case, don't conveniently omit the very religion that the majority of Americans treasure and that generations have celebrated for centuries. I am proud to refer to it as Christmas.

Almost Human: Making Robots Thinkby Lee Gutkind
A remarkable, intense portrait of the robotic subculture and the challenging quest for robot autonomy. The high bay at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University is alive and hyper night and day with the likes of Hyperion, which traversed the Antarctic, and Zoe, the world's first robot scientist, now back home. Robot Segways learn to play soccer, while other robots go on treasure hunts or are destined for hospitals and museums. Dozens of cavorting mechanical creatures, along with tangles of wire, tools, and computer innards are scattered haphazardly. All of these zipping and zooming gizmos are controlled by disheveled young men sitting on the floor, folding chairs, or tool cases, or huddled over laptops squinting into displays with manic intensity. Award-winning author Lee Gutkind immersed himself in this frenzied subculture, following these young roboticists and their bold conceptual machines from Pittsburgh to NASA and to the most barren and arid desert on earth. He makes intelligible their discoveries and stumbling points in this lively behind-the-scenes work.
At the End of Lifeby Francine Prose Lee Gutkind
What should medicine do when it can't save your life?The modern healthcare system has become proficient at staving off death with aggressive interventions. And yet, eventually everyone dies--and although most Americans say they would prefer to die peacefully at home, more than half of all deaths take place in hospitals or health care facilities.At the End of Life--the latest collaborative book project between the Creative Nonfiction Foundation and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation--tackles this conundrum head on. Featuring twenty-two compelling personal-medical narratives, the collection explores death, dying and palliative care, and highlights current features, flaws and advances in the healthcare system.Here, a poet and former hospice worker reflects on death's mysteries; a son wanders the halls of his mother's nursing home, lost in the small absurdities of the place; a grief counselor struggles with losing his own grandfather; a medical intern traces the origins and meaning of time; a mother anguishes over her decision to turn off her daughter's life support and allow her organs to be harvested; and a nurse remembers many of her former patients.These original, compelling personal narratives reveal the inner workings of hospitals, homes and hospices where patients, their doctors and their loved ones all battle to hang on--and to let go.
Becoming a Doctor: From Student to Specialist, Doctor-Writers Share Their Experiencesby Lee Gutkind

The Best Seat in Baseball, But You Have to Stand!by Lee Gutkind
A fascinating and revealing look inside the lives of umpires, from the godfather of creative nonfictionIn 1974, Lee Gutkind walked into Shea Stadium, then home of the New York Mets, with an unusual proposal. He wanted to chronicle one of the least celebrated cadres in professional baseball: the umpires. Gutkind spent one exhilarating season traveling with the officiating crew he found that day--Doug Harvey, Nick Colosi, Harry Wendelstedt, and Art Williams, the first African American umpire in National League history. Gutkind's narrative reveals much about the peculiarities of the men charged with the "thankless and impossible task of invoking order"--their work ethic, fallibility, and perhaps most strikingly, their pride.As resonant today as when it was first published, The Best Seat in Baseball, But You Have to Stand! is an engrossing story of the men who work on one of the nation's biggest stages, their victories and their failures, and their inner worlds that are rarely--if ever--explored.
Bike Feverby Lee Gutkind
Lee Gutkind's memoir of motorcycling, and an ode to the solitude, independence, and exhilaration of the open roadFew things loom as large in our imaginations as the idea of a cross-country trip, exposed to the elements and open to whatever challenges lie around the bend. In the early 1970s, looking to experience and explain the allure of the road trip, Lee Gutkind embarked on a long motorcycle road trip, documenting the misadventures and magic that he found along the way. He writes of the men whose journeys continue to resonate, from Lawrence of Arabia to the Hell's Angels. He explores the appeal of the motorcycle--his vehicle of choice--and its historically loaded place in the American imagination. And he revels in the country's diverse and striking landscapes, as seen while moving through woods, plains, mountains, and deserts.An inspiring and evocative tribute to the power of the journey, Bike Fever is a classic rendering of the unique freedom wrought by a motorcycle and a long highway.
For the Love of Baseballby Andrew Blauner Yogi Berra Lee Gutkind

I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurseby Lee Gutkind
This collection of true narratives reflects the dynamism and diversity of nurses, who provide the first vital line of patient care. Here, nurses remember their first "sticks," first births, and first deaths, and reflect on what gets them though long, demanding shifts, and keeps them in the profession. The stories reveal many voices from nurses at different stages of their careers: One nurse-in-training longs to be trusted with more "important" procedures, while another questions her ability to care for nursing home residents. An efficient young emergency room nurse finds his life and career irrevocably changed by a car accident. A nurse practitioner wonders whether she has violated professional boundaries in her care for a homeless man with AIDS, and a home care case manager is the sole attendee at a funeral for one of her patients. What connects these stories is the passion and strength of the writers, who struggle against burnout and bureaucracy to serve their patients with skill, empathy, and strength.
An Immense New Power to Healby Lee Gutkind Pagan Kennedy
Is personalized medicine--what some scientists call genetic medicine--a pipe dream or a panacea? Francis Collins, current director of the National Institutes of Health and director of the Human Genome Project, considers this new era "the greatest revolution since Leonardo," while Nobel Laureate Leland Hartwell compares personalized medicine to a train that has not yet left the station--"a very slow train with a very long way to go . . . before we arrive at our destination."There is no denying that new technology, which has triggered an explosion of scientific information, is ushering in a revolution in medicine--for specialists, general practitioners and the public. Anyone can spit in a cup and, for a small fee, learn about his or her individual genetic make-up. But how useful is this information, really, to us or to our doctors? What's more, how much do we truly want to know--and have others know--about our possible destiny? There is more than we can imagine at stake.In An Immense New Power to Heal, authors Lee Gutkind and Pagan Kennedy delve into the personal side of personalized medicine and offer the physician's perspective and the patient's experience through intimate narratives and case studies. They also offer an intriguing background of the personalized medicine movement including the fascinating personalities of the key scientists involved as well as a glimpse into the in-fighting that accompanies any race for a scientific breakthrough. The result is a highly engaging, lively, and provocative discussion about this revolution in health care, and most importantly, what it really means for patients now and in the future.
Keep It Real: Everything You Need to Know About Researching and Writing Creative Nonfictionby Lee Gutkind

Writers of memoir and narrative nonfiction are experiencing difficult days with the discovery that some well-known works in the genre contain exaggerations--or are partially fabricated. But what are the parameters of creative nonfiction? Keep It Real begins by defining creative nonfiction. Then it explores the flexibility of the form--the liberties and the boundaries that allow writers to be as truthful, factual, and artful as possible. A succinct but rich compendium of ideas, terms, and techniques, Keep It Real clarifies the ins and outs of writing creative nonfiction. Starting with acknowledgment of sources, running through fact-checking, metaphor, and navel gazing, and responsibilities to their subjects, this book provides all the information you need to write with verve while remaining true to your story.
Many Sleepless Nightsby Lee Gutkind
Winner of the American Heart Association's Howard W. Blakeslee Award for outstanding achievement in scientific journalism: Lee Gutkind's riveting and groundbreaking account of the science, ethics, and life-changing capacity of organ transplantationOver the past six decades, the rapid advances in transplant surgery rank among the most impressive and significant in modern human history. But the procedures, which have an astonishing power to improve or even save lives, are often fraught with an unrivaled level of complexity. Seeking to better understand the world of transplant surgery, Lee Gutkind embedded himself for four years in the University of Pittsburgh's Presbyterian-University and Children's Hospitals, one of the largest transplant centers in the world. He got to know the doctors, researchers, patients, and families involved, while also exploring the history of transplantation and the often insoluble ethical quandaries it poses.Mesmerizing and unforgettable, Many Sleepless Nights depicts with uncanny insight the tremendous effort, suffering, and fortitude of the individuals whose lives have been changed forever by organ transplantation.
One Children's Placeby Lee Gutkind
"A welcome and poignant account of the intense human and political dynamics of a major children's hospital that will have a substantial impact on the way you view children and their care." --The New England Journal of MedicineLee Gutkind is a master at stepping into the worlds of medicine and revealing the unique desires, characteristics, and stories of the people therein. For One Children's Place, he spent two years at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, observing not just the patients but also their nurses, surgeons, therapists, administrators, and families. What he found was an institution that excelled at responding to the needs of the children who stayed there, from the professionals who dealt with the unique problems of hospital furniture and design, to the nurses and social workers who became unwaveringly close allies to their young charges, to the doctors who undertook risky new procedures to save lives.Brimming with hope and animated by fascinating anecdotes, One Children's Place is a powerful portrait of heroism and heartbreak, by one of America's foremost nonfiction storytellers.
Our Roots Are Deep with Passionby Lee Gutkind Joanna Clapps Herman
Thoughtful, poignant, and hilarious personal essays collected by the editors of Creative Nonfiction explore the meanings of Italian-American identity. In the twenty-one nonfiction narratives collected in Our Roots Are Deep with Passion, established and emerging writers with family ties to Italy reflect on the ways that their lives have been accented with uniquely Italian-American flavors. Several of the essays breathe new life into the time-honored theme of family--Louise DeSalvo honors her grandfather, nick-named "the drunk" because he spent his life of hard work drinking wine instead of water, and James Vescovi portrays the close of the stormy relationship between his father and grandmother. Other stories tackle the mystical side of Italian-American life, like Laura Valeri's account of a summer vacation séance in Sardinia that goes eerily awry. And elsewhere, Stephanie Susnjara charts the history of garlic in society and her kitchen, and Gina Barreca offers an unabashed confession of congenital jealousy.Lee Gutkind, founding editor of Creative Nonfiction, the nation's premier nonfiction prose literary journal, and Joanna Clapps Herman have brought together artful essays by novelists, scholars, critics, and memoirists from across the country. The pieces are as varied as their authors, but all explore the unique intersections of language, tradition, cuisine, and culture that characterize the diverse experience of Americans of Italian heritage.
Southern Sin: True Stories of the Sultry South and Women Behaving Badlyby Dorothy Allison Lee Gutkind Beth Ann Fennelly
23 strange-but-true stories of women flirting with perdition... In the steamy South, temptation is as wild and plentiful as kudzu.

Whether the sin in question is skinny-dipping or becoming an unlikely porn star, running rum or renting out a room to a pair of exhibitionistic adulterers, in these true stories women defy tradition and forge their own paths through life-often learning unexpected lessons from the experience.As Dorothy Allison writes in her introduction, "The most dangerous stories are the true ones, the ones we hesitate to tell, the adventures laden with fear or shame or the relentless pull of regret. Some of those are about things that we are secretly deeply proud to have done."A diverse array of contributors-mothers, daughters, sisters, best friends, fiancées, divorcees, professors, poets, lifeguards-in-training, lapsed Baptists, tipsy debutantes, middle-aged lesbians-lend their voices to this collection. Introspective and abashed, joyous and triumphant (but almost never apologetic), they remind us that sin, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Stuck in Timeby Lee Gutkind
A harrowing exploration of one of the country's most troubling hidden shames: the widespread neglect of disabled children by the institutions that have sworn to protect themFour-fifths of American children with serious mental health problems receive no professional treatment whatsoever. They are the product of an overextended and often neglectful system that, as Lee Gutkind writes, has reached the level of insanity. Following the stories of three children--Daniel, Meggan, and Terri--Stuck in Time chronicles the tragedies and injustices wrought not only by the deficiencies of the mental healthcare system, but by government policymakers who have failed to address the problem. Through these children and their families, Gutkind explores mental illness as both a scientific and social issue, from the harsh economic realities of supporting a disabled child to the immense difficulty of finding a suitable counselor.Written with passion and piercing detail, Stuck in Time is a poignant examination of three families fighting against impossible circumstances, and of a system too inflexible to accommodate the helpless victims it is meant to support.
True Crimeby Lee Gutkind
The real-life stories collected here reflect not only the myriad ways in which a law can be broken, but also the countless ways in which crime - whether in the news or close to home - can be experienced. In these diverse and compelling narratives, award-winning journalists investigate the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords and the unsolved lynching of Claude Neal; an identity thief finds herself confronted by one of her victims; a triple homicide rattles a high school swim team; a young adventurer supports her travels by smuggling Peruvian pre-Columbian artifacts; a woman struggles to live free of the ex-boyfriend who kidnapped and tortured her; and more. While appealing to true crime audiences, this unique mix of personal essays and award-winning long form newspaper narratives will also appeal to creative writing and journalism programs, as well as to readers of memoir and crime fiction.
True Stories, Well Told: From the First 20 Years of Creative Nonfiction Magazineby Susan Orlean Lee Gutkind Hattie Fletcher
Creative nonfiction is the literary equivalent of jazz: it's a rich mix of flavors, ideas, voices, and techniques-some newly invented, and others as old as writing itself.

This collection of 20 gripping, beautifully-written nonfiction narratives is as diverse as the genre Creative Nonfiction magazine has helped popularize. Contributions by Phillip Lopate, Brenda Miller, Carolyn Forche, Toi Derricotte, Lauren Slater and others draw inspiration from everything from healthcare to history, and from monarch butterflies to motherhood. Their stories shed light on how we live.
An Unspoken Artby Lee Gutkind
In the tradition of James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small, An Unspoken Art is Lee Gutkind's captivating look at the lives of veterinarians, from the zoos to the farmLee Gutkind, the godfather of creative nonfiction, explores with warmth and sincerity the worlds of modern-day veterinarians--from practitioners operating on Manhattan's Upper East Side to those working knee deep in mud in the English countryside. Gutkind profiles the men and women who have devoted their lives to the care of animals, almost all treating their patients with more humanity and compassion than physicians in human hospitals do. He writes of the people who do not bat an eye at sharing a bed with their dogs, and of those who spare no expense when it comes to the well-being of their pets.An Unspoken Art is an insightful look at the individuals who dedicate themselves to the care of creatures, and of the enduring bond between people and animals.

The only thing I can tell for sure is they were built by Savage Arms.............
February 20, 2012, 06:11 PM
Yeah, it says Springfield/Savage Arms. Another thing is the clip from Numrich (gunpartscorp.com) that supposedly fits the 18 C and other models does NOT fit this gun.
February 21, 2012, 08:53 AM
Are you sure it is a 18C
February 24, 2012, 06:53 PM
Yeah, it's stamped on the barrel
February 25, 2012, 11:20 AM
Did they send a .410 mag or a 12 ga.?
Anyway, I think I'd email http://dickwilliamsgunshop.com/Springfield.html
Or Bob's www.gun-parts.com/savageshotgun
Just be aware that they are usually swamped with calls and emails.
February 25, 2012, 01:13 PM
No a 12ga. mag. would not work, but the thing with the model 18`s was alot of the parts would interchange like you could have a 18c barrel on a 18 action, but the mags don`t interchange.
Lets see some pictures............
February 26, 2012, 03:03 AM
They sent a .410 mag, but the shells wouldn't load into the chamber right. They'd hang up in the magazine .... maybe the spring was weak?
i'll get some pics later on this afternoon..
February 26, 2012, 09:05 AM
They hang up in the magazine, Where ? They are a rimed round, they have to be loaded like a .303..............
February 26, 2012, 10:00 AM
The first round will load up just fine, but the next one doesn't come up high enough for the bolt to catch it and slide it into the chamber.
here's a few pics i had, I'll take more later.

hi guys,
pls. help me about PNG format. pls reply to my question about it.
Re: Help!!!!
First, learn how to post in a way that's helpful to you and to the forum. "Help!!!" is a crappy search term for other people looking for solutions. Secondly, don't post multiple threads with the same question. Thirdly, don't use a new thread to bump an old thread that is insufficiently worded so as to receive any kind of help.
If you want an answer to a question, make the question clear. Include every iota of applicable information you have. We do not indulge in magic, voodoo, or crystal balls.
Grow up. How do you ever expect to contribute to society or a commercial interest if you act like a whiny child.

Dazzling Glinda ensures a bewitching 'Wicked'
Watching Hayley Podschun's captivating Glinda on Thursday night at the Marcus Center, I realized how much this ambitious sorority girl from Oz has in common with the musical in which she co-stars with Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West.
Like the dazzling Glinda, "Wicked" knows how to milk an entrance, fill a room and put on a show. This is the same tour that was here in 2010, and the production values in evidence then continue to impress, from the lavish Edwardian costumes and matching steampunk set to the spectacular lighting design and 14-piece pit orchestra. »Read Full Article

2011 Ford Mustang V6 Premium 2dr Convertible (3.7L 6cyl 6M)
I have a convertible and like it, but I feel the price for the V-6 Premium was about $5K too much and I bought it used.I have only had it three weeks and was a victim of a nasty hit and run while I was in a store so it sits in the shop.It will be interesting how it will hold up after being repaired.My girlfrield loves taking it on tight curves so I think this will be more her favorite car than mine.I miss my 2011 Fusion SEL.Much better bang for the buck.
I love the gas mileage.
23-26 in the city and 30-32 on the highway.
Automatic transmission shifts almost unnoticed.
Love the changeable lighting on the instrument panel.
Longer seat belts, not all of us are thin toothpicks.
I worry about belting in the winter with a heavy coat on.
Belts may not fit at all.
I had no issues with the Fusion.
It feels a bit unstable over bumps, I know that seems to be common with convertibles.
Recently purchased a used 2011 Mustang Convertible w/ 22k.Like the look, but extremely unhappy with the quality of some interior parts as well as the Ford 3/36 Bumper to Bumper warranty.First thing wrong is my 6-way power drivers seat makes a terrible noise and moves very slow to not at all at times and Ford says that because it still works they will not replace it so play with it until it goes out.Has an engine or tranny hesitation, then the radio buttons on the steering wheel have the paint chipping off and the tan convertible top shows the black grease everytime you put it down.I am no kid and am not hard on my baby but very disappointed in the car and Ford.
Love the look of the new 2011 standard dual exhaust.
Very classy looking car that gets lots of looks and many comments.
Like having the Sync system when it actually works sometimes it can be more frustrating than helpful.
Sometimes she understands what I say other days she doesn't get one word right.
I speak very clear english so not sure what the problem is there.
Would like to see better Ford service where their bumper to bumper warranty is concerned.
Should not have to jump through hoops when there is a problem that you can show to the service tech.
Working with a smaller dealership and wonder if some of the issue is them.
Can someone please tell me who I can contact to complain about the warranty issues?
This pony pak, V6 is one awesome Mustang, Every where I go, People stop and stare, or shout WOW, handles and rides great, and great power, this is the best ride I ever bought, and I have bought lots of them over the years, the interior is pure quality, and the paint ,candy red is flawless. I have a 67 Mustang also, The 11 is so retro, not like a Camaro, Buy one you won't be disappointed.
Good looks and fun to drive, but the roof leaks above driver and passenger windows. After 2 dealer visits, no help so far. Leaks in drive-through car wash. Owners manual and Ford hot line maintain power washing could cause this problem, but car was not exposed to power washer. Haven't driven in more than light rain so severity of problem remains to be seen.
Interior and exterior styling.
Deeper recessed storage area on top of dashboard. Things have a tendency to "fly off" during even normal acceleration.
My wife & I rented a 2010 Mustang convertible to drive from Kentucky to the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen in early August. That rental proved a stronger sales tool than any dealership could ever provide. When reading the features of the 2011 model, we decided they far outweighed any price savings obtainable from a 2010 year end deal. We love the styling, peppy V-6 305 hp with smooth sounding dual stainless steel exhausts. The sync system takes a little adopting to. My short drives to/from work a a real joy; whenever the top is down. Evening drives with the top down are exhilarating!
Perfect comfort in the electric adjustments for the driver's seat. Interior light tinting to your taste is a "wow". Sync System & Sirius Radio are great! Love the sequential tail lights!
The size opening of the trunk across the bottom creates a real problem loading a wheel chair. A "uniform opening" (like the 2010 model) would be helpful.

National Apiculture Programmes
EU support for beekeeping is provided through the national apiculture programmes.
Under the Single CMO Regulation the EU provides support for improving the general conditions for the production and marketing of apiculture products in the EU through national apiculture programmes.
>> Go to the Single CMO Regulation
Commission Regulation (EC) No 917/2004 sets out the detailed implementing rules for the apiculture programmes.
>> Go to the Implementing Regulation - consolidated version
Each Member State can access the EU aid scheme by drawing up a three-year period apiculture programme.
50% of a Member State's expenditure for the national apiculture programmes is reimbursed by the European Commission.
For the present tri-annual programme (2011-2013) EU contribution to the beekeeping sector is EUR 32 million a year.
Priority measures
The national apiculture programmes are drawn up every three years.
The priority measures that may be included in the programmes are:
Technical assistance to beekeepers and groupings of beekeepers
Technical assistance is designed to enhance the efficiency of production and marketing by introducing better techniques. Courses and other training measures for beekeepers and those responsible for groupings or cooperatives relate in particular to such areas as breeding and disease prevention, collection and packaging, storage and transport of honey and marketing.
Control of varroasis
The aim of varroasis prevention is to reduce expenditure incurred in treating hives or to ensure that part of the cost is met. This disease is caused by a parasite and, at the present time, is severely diminishing the honey yield in the EU, leading to the loss of bee colonies if not treated. As varroasis cannot be completely eradicated, the only way to avoid its consequences is to treat hives with approved products (those that do not leave any residue in the honey). A financial contribution was also considered necessary to ensure that beekeepers do not treat hives with unauthorised chemicals or ineffective remedies.
Rationalisation of transhumance
Aid for the rationalisation of transhumance is intended to assist with managing the movement of hives in the Community and with providing locations for the strong concentration of beekeepers during the flowering season. Transhumance management can be facilitated by such measures as a transhumance register, investment in equipment and maps of honey varieties.
Measures to support laboratories carrying out analyses of the physico-chemical properties of honey
Support measures for carrying out analyses of honey are intended to improve the marketing of honey. Financing of analyses of the physico-chemical properties of honey according to its botanical origin provides beekeepers with precise knowledge of the quality of the honey harvested, and enables them to get a higher price for their product.
Measures to support the restocking of hives in the Community
The restocking of hives makes it possible to compensate for losses of bees, and therefore of production, by funding activities to promote queen production or purchasing of bee colonies.
Cooperation with specialised bodies for the implementation of applied research programmes in the field of beekeeping and apiculture products
The opportunity provided by the Regulation for including specific applied research projects for improving honey quality in the honey programmes, and dissemination of the results of such projects, can help to increase producer incomes in particular regions.
Notification and monitoring
In order to access the direct aid financed by the EAGF budget for apiculture and to support these measures, Member States must notify their tri-annual apiculture programme to the Commission by 15 April of the first year of the three years period applied by the programme.
The national programmes shall:
- describe the situation in the sector;
- state the aim of the programme;
- describe the measures and specify the costs of implementing them;
- state the estimated costs and financing plan broken down yearly at national and regional level;
- mention the applicable laws, regulations and administrative provisions;
- state the organisations and bee-keeping cooperatives that the Member State collaborated with in drawing up the programme;
- set up the monitoring and assessment arrangements of the apiculture programme.
Besides the apiculture programmes, Member States must also forward to the Commission documents specifying how the programmes are to be monitored in order to verify compliance with the terms on which the national aid is granted.
Implementation reports
According to Article 184(2) of the Single CMO Regulation Commission presents to the European Parliament and to the Council, a report on the implementation of the apiculture programmes in Member States every three years.
>> Go to the implementation reports
Current apiculture programmes in Member States 2011-2013
At present, beekeeping is a sector of great interest for the European Union both for the products which it provides but also for its contribution in maintaining an environmental balance.
In supporting the production and marketing of honey the EU provides € 32 million for the current tri-annual apiculture programme (2011-2013), co-financing the priority measures designed to improve the beekeeping sector in Member States.
Future apiculture programmes in Member States 2014-2016
In the spirit of the new EU Biodiversity Strategy the Commission will continue to apply sustainable policies for the development of the beekeeping sector due to the environmental service performed by honeybees through pollination.
Beekeeping is playing an important role in the sustainable development of rural areas and will continue to benefit from the CAP after 2013.
In order to improve and ensure the efficiency of the apiculture programmes a close collaboration with the beekeeping sector at European and national level will be maintained.
Apiculture programmes for 2014-2016 in all 28 Member States, co-funded by the EU, were approved in the Management Committee on 18 July 2013.

TRUCKED UP Who Really Wins in This Ford vs. Chevy Tug of War?
The owner of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 in the following video definitely paid a price. He gained more ground with his Duramax-powered rig than a 2003 Ford F-350 with a 7.3-liter Power Stroke V8 in a tug of war, but he lost something in the process.
This Ford F-250 is One Helluva Hybrid
The Ford F-250 you see here is big enough to be three vehicles. In fact, it kind of is.

Dallas Mavericks Pick a Really Bad Night to Start the 2010-11 Season
Poor Mark Cuban.
With his billions and success, seems weird to type that. But think of his plight:
In August he came this close to buying the Texas Rangers. Now not only are those same Rangers on the verge of winning the World Series, they're taking a big steamy, stinky one on his Dallas Mavericks' season opener.
In case you haven't noticed, the Mavericks begin their 2010-11 season tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats at American Airlines Center, about the same time the Rangers-Giants get it on out here in San Francisco.

Was nice to see the Miami Heat open the NBA season with a resounding thud last night. Would be even nicer to see the Mavs one day live up to their potential. This year, however, looks a lot like last year. And the year before and ...
The Mavericks will again - yes, still - rely upon Dirk Nowitzki. His surrounding cast is back, except Tyson Chandler replaces Erick Dampier at center. Otherwise, Dominique Jones is a backup shooting guard via the draft, Roddy Beaubois isn't ready to play because of a broken foot and, oh yeah, coach Rick Carlisle fainted during training camp.
I read Sports Illustrated and USA Today's NBA previews on the flight(s) out here, and neither has much hope for your Mavs. Most experts think the Mavs are better, but not good enough to win the Southwest Division nor challenge the Lakers for the West's berth in the NBA Finals.
Me? Looks like another 50-plus-win team in the regular season - that'd be 11 in a row if you've lost count - and then in the playoffs, as always, it'll be about matchups.
And now - sorry, Mark - back to baseball.

In a city where a club's life span is a mere blink and a party's is even less, it's inspiring to see something last beyond the fickle trends. Night of a 1,000 Stevies, the tribute to all things Stevie Nicks, is now on its 16th year. This year's theme is "Stevie in Wonderland," a homage to her "Red Stevie" look introduced on The Other Side of the Mirror. Don your best lace dress, dance to Stevie hits spun by Craig Spencer and Poison Eve, and watch performances from an all-star lineup that includes Joey Arias, Hattie Hathaway, and Miss Guy, among many, many others. As always, Chi Chi Valenti, Johnny Dynell, and Hathaway produce.Fri @ 9, Knitting Factory Main Space, 74 Leonard, 212-219-3006, mothernyc.com/stevie

Posted on 12/12/2004 11:39:02 AM PST by CHARLITE
OK. So I understand that you are ticked off at Israel, and in love with the Palestinians. That's fine with me, as long as you have truly weighed up all the facts.
So, you want to boycott Israel? I'll be sorry to miss you, but if you are doing it - do it properly. Let me help you.
Check all your medications. Make sure that you do not have tablets, drops, lotions, etc., made by Abic or Teva. It may mean that you will suffer from colds and flu this winter but, hey, that's a small price for you to pay in your campaign against Israel, isn't it?
While we are on the subject of your Israeli boycott, and the medical contributions to the world made by Israeli doctors and scientists, how about telling your pals to boycott the following.....
An Israeli company has developed a simple blood test that distinguishes between mild and more severe cases of Multiple Sclerosis. So,! if you know anyone suffering from MS, tell them to ignore the Israeli patent that may, more accurately, diagnose their symptoms.
An Israeli-made device helps restore the use of paralysed hands. This device electrically stimulates the hand muscles, providing hope to millions of stroke sufferers and victims of spinal injuries. If you wish to remove this hope of a better quality of life to these people, go ahead and boycott Israel.
Young children with breathing problems will soon be sleeping more soundly, thanks to a new Israeli device called the Child Hood. This innovation replaces the inhalation mask with an improved drug delivery system that provides relief for child and parent. Please tell anxious mothers that they shouldn't use this device because of your passionate cause.
These are just a few examples of how people have benefitted medically from the Israeli know-how you wish to block.
Boycotts often affect research. A new resear! ch center in Israel hopes to throw light on brain disorders such as depression and Alzheimer's disease. The Joseph Sangol Neuroscience Center in the Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer Hospital aims to bring thousands of scientists and doctors to focus on brain research.
A researcher at Israel's Ben Gurion University has succeeded in creating human monoclonal antibodies which can neutralise the highly contageous smallpox virus without inducing the dangerous side effects of the exisiting vaccine.
Two Israelis received the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Doctors Ciechanover and Hershko's research and discovery of one of the human cells most important cyclical processes will lead the way to DNA repair, control of newly produced proteins, and immune defense systems.
The Movement Disorder Surgery program at Israel's Hadassah Medical Center has successfully eliminated the physical manifestations of Parkinson's disease in a select group of p! atients with a deep brain stimulation technique.
For women who undergo hysterectomies each year for the treatment of uterine fibroids, the development in Israel of the ExAblate 2000 System is a welcome breakthrough, offering a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
Israel is developing a nose drop that will provide a five year flu vaccine.
These are just a few of the projects that you can help stop with your Israeli boycott.
But let's not get too obsessed with medical research, there are other ways you can make a personal sacrifice with your anti-Israel boycott.
Most of Windows operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel. So, set a personal example. Throw away your computer!
The Pentium NMX Chip technology was designed at Intel in Israel. Both the Pentium 4 microprocessor and the Centrium processor were entirely designed, developed, and produced in Israel. Voice mail technology was developed in Israe! l. The technology for the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 in Israel by four young Israeli whiz kids. Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R.& D. facilities outside the US in Israel.
So, due to your complete boycott of anything Israeli, you now have poor health and no computer. But your bad news does not end there. Get rid of your cellular phone !
Cell phone technology was also developed in Israel by Motorola, which has its biggest development center in Israel. Most of the latest technology in your mobile phone was developed by Israeli scientists.
Feeling unsettled? You should be. Part of your personal security rests with Israeli inventiveness, borne out of our urgent neccesity to protect and defend our lives from the terrorists you support.
A phone can remotely activate a bomb, or be used for tactical communications by terrorists, bank robbers, or hostage-takers. It is vi! tal that offocial security and law enforcement authorities have access to cellualr jamming and detection solutions. Enter Israel's Netline Communications Technologies with their security expertise to help the fight against terror.
A joint, non-profit, venture between Israel and Maryland will result in a 5 day Business Development and Planning Conference next March. Selected Israeli companies will partner with Maryland firms to provide innovation to the US need for homeland security.
I also want you to know that Israel has the highest ratio of university degrees to the population in the world. Israel produces more scientific papers per capita - 109 per 10,000 - than any other nation. Israel has the highest number of start-up companies per rata. In absolute terms, the highest number, except the US. Israel has ratio of patents filed. Israel has the highest concentration of hi-tech companies outside of Silicon Valley. Israel is ranked 2 in the world! for venture capital funds, behind the USA. Israel has more museums per caita. Israel has the second highest publication of new books per capita.
Relative to population, Israel is the largest immigrant absorbing nation on earth. These immigrants come in search of democracy, religious freedom or expression, economic opportunity, and quality of life.
Believe it or not, Israel is the only country in the world which had a net gain in the number of trees last year.
So, you can vilify and demonize the State of Israel. You can continue your silly boycott, if you wish. But I wish you would consider the consequences, and the truth.
Think of the massive contribution that Israel is giving to the world, including the Palestinians - and to you - in science, medicine, communications, security. Pro rata for population we are making a greater contribution than any other nation on earth.
We can't be all bad.....

Ping! :)
pong! BTTT
Wow, I had no idea...learn something new everyday!
Good post.
Remember the Libert...err...Maine!
They couldn't care less about the Palestinians. It's all about finding any excuse to demonize and villify Israel. Why? Rabid envy.
WARNING: This is a high volume ping list
Your whole story is propaganda and lies--all those advances were made by Mohammed's enlightened followers and the evil Jews stole all the credit.
/heavy sarcasm off
My boycott will consist of never buying the propaganda put out by the enemies of the Israelis.
And for free.
This will not stop the anti-Israelis from being anti-Israelis, however this is a good example for their heavy problems and stupidness.
Who needs the Israelis? After all, everybody knows that the "Religion of Peace" and its followers have been responsible for many scientific advances over the past 1000 years, like..................................?????
Interesting ping
...bomb belts, nitroglycerin Nikes, and Semtex pessaries.
In protest of Palestinian homicide bombings, I refuse to buy anything developed by the Palestinians.
Man, this is an easy way to show my social conscience.
I've found Israeli's to be very cool. At least the younger ones, they are educated, come from nice big families, usually speak several languages, have great style, and it seems they all involved in some kind of entrepreneurial venture.
Hey, if only the Pali's could drive the Jews into the sea and claim Israel for their own, they'd be just as successful...... (/sarcasm).
Thankyouvery much!

Well, I guess it was just a reply to your off topic post then, sorry.
I took the liberty to change your statement to reflect the truth...

Who want's to boycott Israel? I read the article but I didn't see who the article it was directed at.
If you are so outraged at any portion of your tax money might be going to foreign aid loans to Israel I will be happy to refund your $1.25.
Hmmm, I re-read my post about 30 times. I detected no outrage. I was merely correcting the previous poster. The facts are the facts, no matter how emotional YOU get about the subject.
Hmmm, I wasn't aware of God working for the US Mint. Is he on our payroll too?
All the more reason that we should buy Israeli products!
"In the interest of fairness, and in giving credit where credit is due, it is imperitive to list those who make Israels existance possible: The American Tax payer."
Map and Graph: Military: US military exports (Top 100 Countries)

1. Saudi Arabia - $4,319,299 thousand

3. Israel - $1,630,931 thousand
4. S. Korea - $1,016,006 thousand
5. Egypt - $615,240 thousand
Guess what? Saudi Arabia is not exacly what you would call a friendly American country (aham September 11 terrorists).
Same goes for Egypt.
Your money and weaopns are going to much worser countries...
By the way, the 1.5 billion $ dollars aid from the USA compared to the 9-10 billion $ budget of the IDF.
Israel does NOT exist only because of to the US aid!!!!!!
(P.S Until 1967, US didnt give any military aid to Israel, and we did just fine in 1948, in 1956, in 1964-1966, and in 1967).
I do not consider Israel a "worse" country. On the contrary, they are our allies. My point was (to which some people on this thread TRY unsucessfully to read between the lines) that Israel owes the US taxpayer a debt of grattitude.
The Israeli poeple are very thankful for the US poeple for the great help, however we hate to hear claims that Israel exists only because of the help of the USA, and without this help Israel would not exist. Those claims are not true (check my previous comment), and most of all,
such claims offence the memory of the thousands of Israelis who died in the wars to defend our nation, and thanks to them I can sit here today and write you this message.
Well, here is one American who does not mind my tax money going to help Israel. Friends help friends. Israel has valiantly stood alone against radical Muslim terror for many years, and paid a heavy price. The US at large has only just woken up since 9/11/2001 to the danger. A few voices in the US had been warning of the dangers of radical Islam for years and were dismissed as cranks at best and "bigots" at worst.
By me, anything that Israel "owes" the US has been paid over the years by the sacrifices of their armed forces and intelligence people in fighting evil. They'd fight even if the US did not give them a penny, they proved that in 1948-49. Other Americans may think differently, but I feel that my tax money being used to aid Israel is an investment to help a friend, and it is one so-called burden I do not mind bearing at all. If I'd been alive in WW 2 when Churchill and Britain were alone in fighting Hitler, I'd have said the same thing about the USA supporting and helping the Brits and Winston.
There is no monetary price for friends, and the US and Israel have very few friends - so they need to stick together.
You are right, and thank you my friend!

I am on the softball team. We receive so much support from the athletic department. There is great school spirit and the faculty really cares about sports.
We don't have a football team. Not many people attend sporting events because we are a small school but many of the students that are there play on a team.
Our athletics program is average. Since we are unifying with the North Central campus to become Purdue Northwest, we should be getting better players. I am hoping this is an opportunity to also expand our athletics program. I will say that the fan support for the athletics is usually subpar.
Good fields and athletic department dares about what they're doing.
The athletics at my school are good but I don't always utilize them.

On Transcribing the Lyrics to Pop Songs
August 2, 2016 | by Anthony Madrid
You really can't tell what a song is going to look like until you type it, and that fact itself is interesting to me. When you listen to a song, for instance, you don't know whether its "stanzas" are in quatrains or tercets or what. The stanzas and line breaks you install when you type the lyrics simply were not there before you typed them. They were not in your head, and they were not really in the song either.
You discover all kinds of things. For example, I recently typed up the words to Cream's "White Room" (1968). Before doing that, I didn't know that the song does not rhyme. If someone had asked me if it rhymed, I would've had to sing it to find out. It somehow seems like it rhymes? But how is that possible.
I go around telling people that 99 percent of songs rhyme. Is that true? It might not be. Maybe songs all seem like they rhyme, but when you actually check … ? Read More »
Merle Haggard, 1937–2016
April 8, 2016 | by Lorin Stein
Ever since I started editing The Paris Review, I've wished we could interview Merle Haggard. No songwriter means as much to me. Unfortunately, the Review doesn't have a series on the Art of Songwriting (and for good reasons), so for the past six years I just wished. Then last Friday, at a friend's wedding, I met a country deejay named Rebecca Birmingham. We happened to start talking about Merle and how much his songs moved us both, how true they were to experience, how original they sound even now. We both knew he was in poor health, he'd been in poor health for years, but she had a friend who'd know how to get in touch … Four days later we got the news that he was dead. Read More »
Worst. Kid. Song. Ever.
March 28, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
The other day, my husband and I were talking about putting together a playlist for our nieces: a list of empowering, kid-appropriate songs in which women were treated with respect. We had fun thinking of titles: Aretha and All Hail the Queen and plenty of Dolly, for sure. But also Belle and Sebastian and sixties Brit pop. I started a Spotify station based on "I'm Into Something Good" because I've always thought the lines "So I asked to see her again / And she told me I could" were sweet.
And then, from this place of idealism, came perhaps the most inappropriate song to place on a little girl's playlist ever written. 1964's "Little Children," which was a number-one UK hit for Billy Jay Kramer and went on to chart at number seven Stateside. Read More »
Branded Man
March 23, 2016 | by Max Nelson
The long tradition of outlaw poets.
Max Nelson is writing a series on prison literature. Read the previous entry, on Austin Reed's The Life and the Adventures of a Haunted Convict, here.
Early in the first volume of Panegyric—the bad-tempered, ironically self-deprecating eulogy he wrote for himself in the late eighties—Guy Debord sang the praises of a kind of writer he knew he could never become. "There have always been artists and poets capable of living in violence," he wrote. "The impatient Marlowe died, knife in hand, arguing over a tavern bill." Five hundred years earlier, in the picture Debord goes on to imagine, the medieval poet François Villon presided over a cluster of writers who lived raggedly and riskily at the banks of the Seine. These were outlaw poets, "devotees of the dangerous life"—starved, browbeaten figures for whom pariahdom, persecution, imprisonment and homelessness were both facts of life and the materials out of which they made their art.
Outlaw poets are what certain prison writers become when their term is up—when they've been let loose into a world that spurns them and whose values they reject. In some cases, the poetry they write from this position turns out bitter, sour, and defiantly indigestible, full of lines that dare their civilized, comfortable readers to tolerate rude language, unhinged imagery, and wild variations in refinement and shape. In others, it comes off as a seductive, pining lament, a plea for pardon or a performance of rueful self-blame. Some of the great outlaw poets shuffle unpredictably between these two tones. "I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am," Merle Haggard sang in 1967, less than a decade after the end of his two-year term in San Quentin: "but they won't let my secret go untold; / I paid the debt I owed 'em, / but they're still not satisfied; / Now I'm a branded man / out in the cold." He could write an equally convincing song that placed the fault on precisely the opposite side: "Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied; / that leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried."

Seeking Jagger's Muse
January 1, 2016 | by John Jeremiah Sullivan
We're away until January 4, but we're re-posting some of our favorite pieces from 2015. Please enjoy, and have a happy New Year!
Dear Lorin,
Did I ever tell you about the thing I did with The Ice Plant? You know them—they make oddly compelling photography books. Last year they did one about some candid "found photos" of the Rolling Stones, pictures taken in the South that had somehow turned up at a flea market or estate sale out west. I wrote a piece to go with the book. But the book wound up getting squashed, or at least suppressed. There was some kind of legal problem—a photographer's estate claimed rights, saying their man had taken the pictures, but it couldn't be proved, and there were other claimants. At one point the book was embargoed on a container ship, I'm not inventing. Anyway it was all a shame because the book was beautiful to look at and would have been positive for all parties, and The Ice Plant's books are done for the love—if nobody's profiting, nobody's profiting off—but we are a people of the lawsuit, we like to own.
All of that is background, though, to the actual pictures (referring here only to those that have already been on the Web). There's something sweet and sad about them (a twenty-two-year-old Brian Jones flipping playfully into the pool … ), and something unglamorous that has postwar English childhoods in it, and at the edges maybe just a trace of eerie and autumnal pre–Altamont Apocalypse vibes.

Classic Dionysian Shit: An Interview with Richard Hell
December 8, 2015 | by Adam Leith Gollner
"Without a doubt, the single most influential thing I've done was my haircut," Richard Hell writes in Massive Pissed Love, his new collection of nonfiction. It's a characteristically self-deprecating statement from a writer who started as one of the main sparks in New York City's 1970s punk-rock movement. Hell has authored novels, books of poetry, and an acclaimed memoir—but his most lasting achievement, in his view, is that groundbreaking haircut.
Maybe it's a strangely fitting legacy: Hell has been fascinated with hair since childhood. "Because it's dead but personal and because I'm moved by the futility of its attempts to warm and protect the places where it grows," as he put it in 2013's I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp. Rachel Kushner's review of that memoir lauded Hell's commitment "to the unvarnished truth, about himself and others." That honesty remains on display throughout Massive Pissed Love; at one point, he imagines asking Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth whether her hair is real or if she scalped an angel.
The collection is divided into three sections: long-form essays ("Massive"), angry takedowns ("Pissed"), and adoring panegyrics ("Love"). Hell, a prolific essayist and critic, has published everywhere: in Bookforum, the New York Times Book Review, GQ, and in the cunnilingus-themed issue of Ecstatic Peace Poetry Journal, where he envisions eating out a deer whose "vagina would taste like warm folds of liquefying bubblegum and then like lobster meat drenched in lemon butter sauce." Elsewhere, he writes on culture, politics, emotions, spirituality—anything he wants, really.
I first spoke to Hell for an essay I was working on about Michel Houellebecq and the nineteenth-century French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans, who figures prominently in Houellebecq's latest novel, Submission. The discussion below took place soon after Houellebecq, who did a literary event alongside Hell in Spain in 2008, wrote a widely discussed op-ed for the Times. (Antonin Baudry, The Paris Review's newly appointed Paris editor, comments on it here.) Houellebecq's call for France to be run without political parties or a government, through direct democracy, seemed like a fittingly punk-rock place to begin the conversation. Read More »
