If you've been following the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, you know that Craig dreams of one thing only: a robot skeleton sidekick. (Who doesn't?)
Well, last night, the talk-show host's fantasies finally came true. Ferguson introduced his new pal, a metal fellow named "Geoff Peterson" created by MythBusters co-star Grant Imahara.
"It's the kind of thing you'd see in a biology classroom, and I put it on steroids," Imahara says of the sophisticated robot. Get a behind-the-scenes peek of the project (including sketches) in this Wired.com feature.
Geoff Peterson stuck around the show for a chat with Craig and Imahara, and he even got to meet guest Kristen Bell (hilarious). You can watch all of these highlights on the official site, but I'm including my favorite moment below.
In it, Craig unveils Geoff in a toe-tapping musical montage:

The Nashville Predators, the final team into the NHL playoffs, are headed to the first Stanley Cup Final in franchise history.
Coach Peter Laviolette insists they won't just be happy to be there either.
"Our guys know the big picture," Laviolette said. "They understand what it is that we're trying to do here. And when that time comes, we'll be ready."
Colton Sissons scored a hat trick with his third goal the game-winner with 6:00 left, and goalie Pekka Rinne made 38 saves as the Predators beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-3 on Monday night in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals.
Now the team no one outside of Nashville expected to be here is...

This is a story about a girl called Kirsty who decides to look after an orphaned fawn in secret. Kirsty's life is very difficult as her mum is depressed, and her dad is too busy working to look after mum, which means Kirsty has to look after her. Also her Auntie Sarah has died, and Kirsty is being bullied at school and that's not all her problems!!
So looking after the Fawn is really important to Kirsty as he makes her feel better, even though he cant talk to her; he is like a comfort and, she thinks, a lucky charm. Kirsty knows that one day Fawn will have to go back to the wild, but is she really able to let him go?
I would give this book 10/10 because of the way author keeps you in suspense and you really don't want to put the book down. It is a sad book where lots of sad things happen but there are lots of hopeful moments too. The writing is very descriptive, simple but beautiful.
I would recommend this book for 8+ and its a definite must read. Thank you Guardian Children's Books for recommending this to me!!

CANADA STOCKS-TSX set to open higher, eye on BMO, Bernanke
Feb 26 (Reuters) - Canadian stock index futures pointed to a slightly higher open on Tuesday, helped by higher-than-expected results and a dividend increase from Bank of Montreal, with investors also looking ahead to testimony from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Dear Family Archivist,
I never imagined I would be an archivist when I grew up.
To be honest, I didn't even know there was such a thing as an archivist.
When I applied to college, I was forced to choose a major. So I decided to become a rock n' roll photo-journalist. You know, the next Annie Liebovitz. This is precisely what happens when you ask an 18 year old to choose a career, my friends. And yet they still make you declare a major before you start college. (Shakes head slowly.)
Fast forward to 1994. I had a BA in History and Anthropology but decided against getting a Master's or PhD in either. Mostly because I didn't want to teach high school kids or college kids. After traveling and living abroad for a spell, I got a decent job at a great book store in The Only City I Wanted To Live In. I was madly in love with my boyfriend (now my husband) and pretty darn happy, but retail had started to lose its appeal after a few years. I was ready for whatever was coming next, I just didn't have any idea what that was…
One day my coworker brandished a course catalog and announced that she was going to library school to earn her Masters in Library Science.
Library school, here in town?
Grad school?
I read the catalog and discovered something jaw droppingly amazing: I could specialize in unpublished historical materials and be trained as an archivist. The best part? All the archives classes were taught by working archivists from the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Becoming an archivist made a lot of sense. I bet if you polled people who knew me in high school they would not be the tiniest bit surprised that I turned out to be an archivist. Clearly, this was what I'd been waiting for. I felt at home as soon as I started my classes, and went on to meet some of my very favorite people in the world. OK, I'll stop now before this turns into a "Have You Hugged An Archivist Today?" public service announcement.
Since earning my Master's degree, I've had the honor of working on collections at the Library of Congress Prints & Photos Division, the Wisconsin Historical Society, Memorial Library Special Collections, American Girl, and the Chicago Chapter of the American Red Cross. I delight in helping family, friends, and clients take better care of their family collections.

Beyond Organizing: Storing and Preserving Precious Photos and Videos (Austin American-Statesman)
Jacobs also proposes the "3-2-1" rule: Three copies of a file in two different format types in more than one location. For example, have copies of your photos on your computer hard drive, on a DVD and on a photo website. Saving in multiple formats is especially important for videos, where the commonly used file formats seem to change more frequently. Finally, keep some of these copies somewhere other than your home should disaster strike.

Publication Acceptance Date: 8/15/2007

Citation: Larose, M., Heathman, G.C. 2007. Rank Stability Analysis of Surface and Profile Soil Moisture [abstract]. American Society of Agronomy Annual Meeting, November 4-8, 2007, New Orleans, LA. CD ROM. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Although several studies have examined the spatial and rank stability of soil moisture at the surface layer (0-5cm) with the purpose of estimating large scale mean soil moisture, the integration of the rank stability of profile (0-60cm) soil moisture has not been fully considered. This research combines the rank stability at the surface and profile soil moisture to estimate large scale average soil moisture for better representation of the subsurface hydrology. The research is part of the Cloud and Land Surface Interaction Campaign 2007 (CLASIC07) remote sensing experiment with various combinations of soil types, vegetations, and management practices. Daily surface and profile soil moisture were measured with Theta and Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) probes, respectively, in two winter wheat and two pasture fields at 800 m x 800 m scale within the Little Washita River Experimental Watershed. The results of this research address whether the Rank Stable Sites (RSS) determined for surface and profile soil moisture are the same within a given area, and illustrate how RSS can be best employed in a surface soil moisture data assimilation scheme to better estimate soil moisture dynamics over large areas.

Vegetable Pancakes
Makes: 4 servings
Time: At least 30 minutes
A surefire way to get anyone to eat any vegetable, these crisp babies are delicious as a side dish, alone as an appetizer, or served on a bed of Nicely Dressed Salad Greens (page 135) as lunch.
Root vegetables are most common, but you can use whatever looks good to you, alone or in combination: zucchini, yellow squash, winter squash, corn, or chopped scallions; even spinach or chard is good (just cook it, squeeze it dry, and chop it first). And consider tossing in a tablespoon of fresh herbs or spices. Sweet potato and corn benefit from a bit of cilantro, zucchini comes to life with dill, and ginger or cardamom will warm up winter squash beautifully. Serve with Olive Oil Drizzle (page 158), a sprinkling of Parmesan or chopped nuts, or any salsa.
About 11/2 pounds grated vegetables, peeled first if necessary
(3 cups packed), and squeezed dry
1/2 small onion, grated; or 4 scallions
1 egg or 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup white or whole wheat flour, more or less
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive or vegetable oil or butter for greasing the pan
1 Heat the oven to 275°F. Grate the vegetable or vegetables by hand or with the grating disk of a food processor. Mix together the vegetables, onion, egg, and ¼ cup of the flour. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a little more flour if the mixture isn't holding together.
2 Put a little butter or oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted or the oil is hot, drop in spoonfuls of the batter, using a fork to spread the vegetables into an even layer, then press down a bit. Work in batches to prevent overcrowding. (Transfer finished pancakes to the oven until all are finished.) Cook, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a sit. The more important part of that is the stay part. I usually try to teach a sit or a down because they are less likely to try to move forward. Is a down more comfortable for him? If not, a stand stay would work as well, it is just much easier for them to break a stay from a standing position.

|thank you for giving this dog a new home
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your foster! My last dog came from a similar situation chained in a back yard with little to no contact besides food and water from 8 weeks to a year and a half old, so I understand having to catch up on manners! If his nose is in overdrive, it sounds like he may work for some nice-smelling food. Positive reinforcement would be a good way to go for a dog that has had a rough start like that. I would start with the basics - sit, down, stay, come etc. If you're not sure about your training skills, you could always hire a trainer to help you out or attend a class.
Shepherds are smart and you can establish some good boundaries early on by being firm and consistent. If he's a bully when greeting people, I would teach him a good sit-stay so you can park him on the floor a short distance from the door when greeting people. Possibly a back up, or a side or heel position for out in public so he doesn't spring ahead to check a person out. If he is persistent, you can physically back him up by just blocking off his path to a person he wants to check out or you can back him up by just shuffling into him.
I am looking forward to all your knowledge, tips and tricks! I recently lost my dogs due to old age and decided that I wanted to foster. I have never owned a GSD and now I am fostering one. We are 3 weeks in now and everything has gone really well, better than expected that's for sure. He was an extreme cruelty case, 8 yrs on a 5'chain, in a vacant lot, guarding some machinery... 24/7/365 ... can you imagine? I want to make sure I do the right thing for him and teach him manners so he can spend his senior years with peace, love and comfort. How do you teach an elderly dog manners? His nose is in overdrive and he can be somewhat of a bully when he wants to "check a person" out.

Roseville Police Create Online Archive of Stolen Goods
The Roseville Police Department is going online to try to reunite stolen property to its rightful owners.
The department launched an online property room where people can go and see if their stolen items have been recovered.
Roseville PD's Property and Evidence Supervisor Scott Koll says not only is this helpful for people who were robbed or burglarized, but it also might help detectives catch who did stole the items.
"If they call us and say, 'That's my bicycle,' that helps us link up where we believe where the suspect was and it helps us draw the whole investigation together," Koll said.
Items on the website include everything from bicycles and computers to jewelry and power tools.
Neither the city of Sacramento or Sacramento County has a website like this, so people will have to do it the old fashioned way by filing a report to see if it matches any items recovered.

The Princeton Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints received a new bishop on Feb. 5. Nicholas Izzo, 37, Isanti, replaced Ronald Watson, also from Isanti, who served as bishop for nearly seven years. An LDS bishop presides over the local congregation of the church, called a ward, as the priesthood leader.
"We need to look towards our Savior for greater strength in our lives and become the individual that He wants us to become," Bishop Izzo said, pointing to Philippians 4:13 from the New Testament for a vision of his leadership. "As we do so, we will have greater peace in this life and be able to face our trials and challenges that we face with power from on high."
Latter-day Saint clergy receive no pay for ecclesiastical responsibilities and maintain their paid employment while serving. Bishop Izzo is a supply chain manager for a global container company. Brian Merkley, Big Lake, and Hugh Duke, Becker, have been called to serve as counselors to assist the bishop in his new responsibilities.
Bishop Izzo, who grew up in Coon Rapids, married his wife Sarah in Dec. 2000. They have four young children — three girls and a boy. They moved to Isanti from Brooklyn Park eight years ago.
In addition to his strong faith in Jesus Christ, Bishop Izzo will also bring youth and vitality to this responsibility. At home he wrestles with his kids. Baseball is one of his all-time loves and he still remains actively involved in the baseball community.
The Princeton Ward congregation has more than 450 members with geographic boundaries that include the communities of Princeton, Zimmerman, Becker, Milaca, Foley, Cambridge and Isanti. All are invited to Sunday worship services at 9 a.m. at the LDS meeting house in Princeton at 100 Ave W. Hwy 95.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.

Well, the switches need to be replaced on the hatch. I think that one may have been intermittent for awhile, and the computer indicated that the battery was shot, so they replaced the battery, too. Unfortunately, not unexpected, they had to order the switch assembly. I think it may have been triggering the computer into getting ready to open the hatch, or that it wasn't fully closed, and this put a drain on it. The parking/emergency brake switch was bad a couple of days after I picked the car up in Munich...maybe just a bad day for switches? Anyway, hopefully, it'll come in while I'm here, otherwise, they'll have to send the switch to a dealer closer to home (I'm away) to be replaced when I get back. Was hoping to get it fixed sooner, but it is what it is. They recalibrated the auto hold braking function (it was getting a little abrupt) and flushed the brake system (it's coming up on two years, maybe a little early, but hey, I was there).

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Enterprise, but only because AD is coming back.
edit: The Screen Savers. I know, I know...it's been kind of recreated on the twit network. Not the same.
The Life and Times of Tim
Classic Futurama. I'm thinking if they didn't cancel the series in 2003 we wouldn't have gotten as much rubbish as we have now that the show is "back".
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we got the films and the last two seasons but it's mostly mediocre now. Alas, you can't truly go home again.
Better Off Ted
Murderer's Row of canceled TV shows already up there, but FX's Terriers is a series I miss greatly. It never found an audience because it wasn't a star-studded affair or very exciting subject matter, but the casting was top-notch, the acting was brilliant and the writing was--as usual by Shawn Ryan--superb.
My runner up is AMC's Rubicon. Riveting show that would have done better on a premium network like HBO or Showtime. It's more intricate than Homeland, but definitely as good and addictive.
jm76430 wrote:Terranova
I second this!
The Finder
Two of 'em.:
Freakylinks which got moved to the "We couldn't give a flying fruitcake about your series" time slot, abruptly, and then cancelled.
The Beast was a CNN-esque show that had some of the drama of and a plot similar to "Homeland" in a pre-9/11 drama way. The irony - This show aired and cancelled in June BEFORE the Twin Towers incident. Five episodes before the axe. Kind of suprised me, but I think it was too controversial for its day.
Stargate: Atlantis (But not Universe.)
Also Mystery Science Theater 3000, but at least there's Rifftrax.com
Pushing Daisies.
I voted Arrested Development in the poll. I just wanted to also throw in Dead Like Me and Party Down.
wootgf wrote:I voted Arrested Development in the poll. I just wanted to also throw in Dead Like Me and Party Down.
"Dead like Me" is cute. It also has one of my favorite actors in it... I didn't list it because I didn't see it in the original lineup, only in re-runs. (Thus, I lacked the instant What The Hay? factor of my show being very mysteriously missing.)
Y'know what? Eureka had a long run, but it COULD have kept going for a whole lot longer.
Or at least to a proper end of the season instead of five episodes. I felt like smacking someone when it was over.
A few that really hurt:
Keen Eddie
Life (NBC)
30 Rock
The Tick
My Boys
Better Off Ted
Studio 60 OTSS
Terminator SCC
and some notables already mentioned:
Terriers (very underated!)
Terra Nova
togle wrote:Better Off Ted
I third and fourth that (as cedaroo 2nd'd it)!
Farscape !!!
Cancelled before it could really develop into a much better series !
It was great television for the first four seasons. It needed another four seasons.
Oh, so many! Common Law, Firefly, Chaos, Partners, Stargate Atlantis, Lie to Me, Medium, and most of all: Human Target.
Invader Zim
I second Deadwood and Terminator SCC
I voted Firefly. Traffic Light and Party Down are a couple others.
Mockingbird Lane had such potential and they killed it off as a pilot/halloween special. The acting was good, the FX great, the humor was subtle, and the rebooting of The Munsters superb...and the Loco in the Cocos declined to make it into a series.
2 Words: Sledge Hammer!
Thirding Terranova. Great show. I've watched through it 4 times and everyone I've introduced to it watched the whole thing in less than a week.
Farscape was a great show too, but I think it had a good run. Some of the best character development I've ever seen in a TV show.
Fringe series finale tonight
Party Down, Carnivale, Summer Heights High....probably many others.
Maxx Headroom
frisky dingo.
Lie to me
So many ...
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
My Boys (and I liked her in Mob Doctor except it had to end, it couldn't go anywhere)
The Mole
New Amsterdam
In Plain Sight
The Finder
Human Target
Pushing Daisies
and now Last Resort
Maybe 6 or so of the ones listed so far. My list is so long. It almost seems like if I like it, it is sure to get chopped. So I'm not even going to think about the ones I do like. What gets me are the shows that the networks cut after only 1 or 2 have been aired, and before they played all they have made. If your lucky they played the rest of the ones they already made on Saturday.
ThunderThighs wrote:Human Target
Pushing Daisies
and now Last Resort
I absolutely agree with you on Last Resort.
"Keen Eddie" led me directly to "Human Target", and I'll add in "Boston Legal" for a Mark Valley "cancelled too soon" trifecta/curse.
Now that I've seen the pattern, I'm hoping he doesn't show up on either Supernatural or Vampire Diaries. ;)
There needs to be an "all of the above" option. However, I am starting to feel a little loserish....and sad.

Fights are erupting among Occupy Wall Street protesters, so much so that one corner of Zuccotti Park has emerged where protesters say they won't go for fear of their safety, the New York Daily News is reporting.
Police officers also have been warned of "dangerous instruments" being concealed in cardboard tubing, the News says it has been told by unidentified police sources.
MORE: Full coverage
"There is a lot of infighting in the park," a police source told the news organization. "There is one part of the park where they won't even go at night."
Meantime, Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, is warning protesters at Zuccotti Park in Manhattan that he will pursue civil suits against anyone who assaults a union member.
"New York's police officers are working around the clock as the already overburdened economy in New York is being drained by 'occupiers' who intentionally and maliciously instigate needless and violent confrontations with the police," the News reports Mullins said in a statement.
But protesters tell the News they have been the victims of police brutality, not the other way around.
"We have been brutalized and mass-arrested by the NYPD," said protester Jen Waller, 24, of Brooklyn. "They can threaten us all they want. We've got lawyers, too."

In its November issue, Consumer Reports rated the new-for-2003 Honda Pilot EX "Excellent" in tests between four models of eight-passenger sport-utility vehicles. The tests pitted the Pilot against three bigger and heavier full-size SUVs, the Toyota Sequoia, Ford Expedition, and Chevrolet Tahoe.
As well, the 2003 Honda Pilot outscored the magazine's previously top-rated midsize sport-utility vehicle, the Toyota Highlander Limited V6. The Highlander was CR's Top Pick for midsize SUVs in the Annual Auto Issue published in April 2002.
Consumer Reports' November issue also compared winter and all-season tires. The magazine rated 26 winter and all-season models, including 15 high performance tires. The Dunlop SP Sport A2 was rated best in tests of H-speed-rated, touring-performance, all season tires. H-speed-rated all-season tires are found on roughly one of every 10 new vehicles that roll out of the showroom and are designed to handle sustained speeds of up to 210 km/h.
Among winter tires, Consumer Reports rated the Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grip GW-2 and Kumho I'zen Stud KW-11 best overall.

The 'Hope' Lock Drop Box !I, as always will attempt to take the position on this blog from the viewpoint of our community = Wauwatosa.
It should be easily agreed upon that the majority of Tosan's are 'successful' and 'hardworking' citizens who for the most part are proud and take good care of the community as a whole. We have a good police department, beautiful well maintained homes on character bound streets tree lined with unique and diverse families. We have the strength of things like: Mayfair Mall and a strong commercial backing as well as a solid housing stock and well perceived school district amongst our peers. (sarcasm begins) These things really haven't been earned....they just fell upon us because we are lucky haves.
Would you or would you not categorize us here in 'Tosa' as the lucky haves? Based on this notion, I think it is about time we take some of our hard earned money and drop it in the newly created 'Hope Lock Drop Box' located at the Wauwatosa Post Office and make it addressed to "FEDERAL GOVERNMENT" Attn: Obama/Biden so that our ' have not friends ' can have some fun and live a good life also. So, don't plan on eating at Cheesecake or Maggianos for the rest of the year and tell Billy that the laptop might need to wait until next year....its about time you did something for the greater good of our fellow 'have not friends'.So, everyone here in Tosa, if you make more than $150,000+ a year, statements will arrive demanding $4,000 to be dropped off at the Hope Lock Drop Box.. You will be allowed to make a $3,800 deduction on this amount if you are: "Currently a Being Prosecuted for Voter Fraud/ACORN or belong to any of our endorsed Labor Unions". Of course this deduction can only be administered with a Photo ID with any registered Presidential HOPE Community Organizer. Please be sure to include your address and personal information on the check or money order...no cash please...this could lead to fraud. Please note that there may be other 'out of nowhere' requests for the 'have nots' in other special places the new President feels might need : HOPE SPREAD YOUR WEALTH: help... If they want anything we will be calling on you again shortly.
Everyone who earns $100,000+ a year, We demand for you seal in an envelope $2,750Everyone who earns $75,000+ a year, We demand for you to seal in an envelope $2,250
Everyone who earns $40,000+ a year, We demand for you to seal in an envelope $2,000
*If you do not drop this amount off by Friday you will be fined a daily amount of $25.00 per week. All fines will be tripled if you haven't officially signed up for: "YES WE WILL-Wait in Line Longer Socialized Gov't Healthy Wisconsin" which is your newly FREE nationalized health coverage.
Once all the HOPE money is collected we will send these checks accordingly to our 'have not' friends...who need it...more than you do...for cell phones.Because you plan to work for more career earned income in the near future you can be sure we will ask for your HOPE-SPREAD YOUR WEALTH contribution again very soon. Don't worry... this plan has been endorsed and approved by: Oprah, Barbara Streisand, Nancy Pelosi, Jim Doyle and Matt Damon (people who truly know the plight of the have nots) (Sarcasm Ends)While I was working this week I heard that our POTENTIAL next President (Obama) told a plumber on TV....while being taped.....live.... he is going to take more of the career-earned money that my fellow residents here in Tosa earn and spread it around to all of his little special places he thinks need it. Sorry Robin Hood....this isn't Disney World. I hope.....scratch that....wish that some of these Tosans with their Obama signs would be a little embarrassed by these hooligan ideals....do they know? I am amazed! I worry VERY STRONGLY for a win in 2 weeks.

I use these PUMAs when I go out on dates with my wife. This shoe is comfortable and attractive. They fit extremely well and are light. Thank you, Sierra, for offering these shoes at a GREAT price!!!
Reviewed by bill from sacramento, ca on Thursday, November 28, 2013i think these are a little narrow which is what i wanted since a i have narrow feet. i run on 3 surfaces - very hard like concrete, very cushy (a composite 440 track near my home), and very hard dirt. i have several pairs of running shoes by different manufacturers. the Voltras are just OK on the composite track - my feet seem to get sore after 5 miles on the track. the Voltras seem to shine on very hard dirt (with some rocks) and concrete. my feet get less sore on these very hard surfaces after 5 miles. they are very white, and show dirt easily.
Reviewed by Brad from Minnesota on Monday, November 11, 2013The shoes seem to be of high quality. I run about 3-5 miles 4X per week, and the shoes provide good cushion. I'm not wild about air cushions, because I've had them pop in the past, leaving the shoes useless. However, in these shoes the air cells are divided, so that if one of the cells happens to break, it doesn't seem as though it would ruin the whole shoe. Also, I think the shoes run very true to size, in fact I ordered my usual size and they almost seemed a bit longer than normal, so I haven't found the complaints about the shoes running small to be true.
Reviewed by unknown from unknown on Wednesday, April 3, 2013I bought these to have as my "dress" sneakers. These shoes are great for everyday wear and look great. Caught my 12 year old sone trying them on. Wonder what he had in mind? They are stable and would be great for the gym, but I wouldn't however purchase them for running.

They weigh 2 pounds.
These are a cushioned shoe that will work for an underpronator. These are not necessarily a specific shoe as it is almost more of a good looking shoe.
Probably not. The last-design and vector-angle coming out of the heel suggest it's more appropriate for a neutral-type runner.

The Armory Week's curator-centric show SPRING/BREAK is gearing up for its second outing at the Old School in Little Italy — it's bringing along some major partners this year — and has just announced its roster of curators and the artists they've selected for the March 7-10 exhibition.
The exhibition will feature a 35mm film work by the con artist couple Jack and Leigh Ruby curated by the duo of Eve Sussman and Simon Lee titled "Car Wash Incident," with Sussman also curating a selection of Peter Dudek's vividly colorful architectural sculptures. Curator Maureen Sullivan will contribute works by Jeremy Blake's and Yorgo Alexopoulos in keeping with the show's theme, "New Mysticism."
Grey Area's Kyle DeWoody will curate a projection piece by Michael Joaquin Grey, while Amanda Schmitt, assistant director at The Hole, curates a group show focused on the blurred boundaries between public and private on the internet featuring works by Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Grace Villamil, and Myla Dalbesio. Schmitt will also curate a solo presentation by Dalbesio.
Under the direction of curator Mark Azoulay, French street artist JR will create an enormous photo-mural installation in the Old School's courtyard. Marco Antonini, director of Bushwick non-profit NURTUREart, will curate a show of photographs by Luigi Presicce. Gallerist Helen Toomer of Lower East Side spot Toomer-Labzda contributes a curated selection of paintings by Howard Raimund Hurst. And the Brooklyn trio Fall on Your Sword, who, by our estimation, were the big winners at last year's show, will be back with another site-specific installation courtesy of curators and fair director Andrew Gori and Ambre Kelly.
The full list of curators is below:
Gabriela Alva, Marco Antonini, Marc Azoulay, Ted Barrow, Elizabeth Clark, Angela Conant, Kyle DeWoody, Aaron Levi Garvey, Andrew Gori, Ambre Kelly, Natalie Kovacs, Simon Lee, Patrick Meagher, Adam Mignanelli, John Morrow, Aurora Pellizzi, Natalia Porter, Amanda Schmitt, Cecelia Stucker, Maureen Sullivan, Eve Sussman, Helen Toomer, Tom Weinrich.

The Best Poetry of the Year
The best books of the last year of the decade, as picked by the staff of Poetry magazine and poetryfoundation.org:
Chinese Apples, New and Selected Poems
W. S. Di Piero
City Dog: Essays
W. S. Di Piero
Northwestern University Press
Christian Wiman, Editor, Poetry Magazine:
Di Piero, both as a poet and a prose writer, is one of the most idiosyncratic, intelligent, original, and criminally neglected writers alive. Though he's not a believer, his work has a kind of religious residue, and seems lit from within by an anxious, almost sacred attentiveness.
Museum of Accidents
Rachel Zucker
Wave Books
Catherine Halley, Editor, poetryfoundation.org:
Dozens of terrific poetry books landed on my desk this year, but Rachel Zucker's "Museum of Accidents" stood out because (and pardon the over-sharing) I'm not married and I'm not a mother, and this big square paperback, which concerns itself with the underbelly of both marriage and motherhood, made me feel okay about that even as it indulged my curiosity about such things. Don't get me wrong—it isn't simply a spinsters' schadenfreude that draws me to this confessional book. I love how varied the poems are. Each one takes a different shape, ranging across the page in a way that would make Robert Duncan proud. The book is by turns funny: one poem's called "Nice Arse Poetica", and dead serious: "Long Lines to Stave Off Suicide" begins, "or/ I could keep having children which helps a little (hurts/ a lot) because everything for a long time is so/keep-the-baby-alive…" Here is a book about crisis and the ho-hum space between crises that we call ordinary life. The poems often begin mid-sentence, reflecting the moments when the poet remembers she is alive and not so well.
The Whole Island: Six Decades of Cuban Poetry
Edited by Mark Weiss
University of California Press
Don Share, Senior Editor, Poetry Magazine:
A whole island of poetry, indeed: reading this book, you discover a new world of poetry. What could be more exciting than that?
The Tree That Time Built
Mary Ann Hoberman, Linda Winston, and Barbara Fortin (Illustrator)
Sourcebooks, Naperville, Illinois
Penny Barr, Project Manager, Children's Poetry:
An anthology of poems touching on nature, science and the imagination. A beautifully printed book, with CD of poets reading their own work. Very colorful and for the whole family. This is a joint-venture of between science and poetry for children.
"Mental Ears"
JH Prynne
Chicago Review 55:1
Michael Marcinkowski, Web Project Manager, poetryfoundation.org:
So maybe issue 55:1 of the Chicago Review isn't a book, but JH Prynne's lecture "Mental Ears" is so good that you should buy the issue, tear out all 30 pages of the essay, staple them together, and make it into a little book of your very own. (Chucking the rest of the issue into the waste bin or not is your own prerogative.) What makes the essay (alright I know: lecture) so great is that it not only gives the reader a bit of insight into the fantastical workings of Prynne's own distinctive versifications, but also provides a startlingly distinct formulation of the mechanics of poetry at large, one that digs deeper and in different directions than normal semantic or metrical considerations. The ideas are so well wrought that even the discussion of Wordsworth's old-as-drawers "Tintern Abbey" seems alive and fresh as a daisy. Did I mention the startling nuanced application of Indo-European derivations? Yeah. It's that good.
Jennifer Moxley
Flood Editions
Travis Nichols, Associate Editor, poetryfoundation.org:
Moxley's fifth book of poems finds her lyic "I" speaking for the group: the complicit and the defiant, the lovely and the melancholy. A zeitgeist-y companion to Julianna Spahr's This Connection of Everyone with Lungs. (For prose by poets, I choose the shot of textual courage that is Eileen Myles' The Importance of Being Iceland).
The Book of Men and Women
David Biespiel
University of Washington Press
Gina Rosemellia, Editorial Assistant, Poetry Magazine:
In his book about regret, longing, and loss, Biespiel explores the intricacies of relationships between men and women in settings both real and imaginary.
Raúl Zurita (translated by Anna Deeny)
University of California Press
Michael Slosek, Permissions Coordinator, poetryfoundation.org:
Zurita is seen by many to be the most important poet in Chile and the inheritor of Neruda's legacy. His work has been widely neglected in the US. Purgatory was Zurita's first book of poetry, and the work tries to take account of the atrocities committed by the Pinochet regime against the Chilean people, culture, and Spanish language. Zurita speaks through a variety of subjectivities: a woman, a cow, a man tortured the regime (which Zurita actually was), in a fractured and wounded language. I think it's an important book to be published in the US at this time, since we're coming out of our own 8 years of atrocities that many would like to simply forget.
Fred Sasaki, Associate Editor, Poetry Magazine:
Exilée and Temps Morts: Selected Works
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
University of California Press
"Dear Collegue,
It's amusing. But serious. You make decisions everyday; large and small. Decisions that could and often do affect your profession, your life-style, where you live and even with whom you live. They are important and necessary decisions that could have a far-reaching impact on your life not just today but in your future as well.
Far too often in today's quick-changing, fast-paced world, new events and trends come along that can catch us off-guard and lead us into the dim world of 'future shock,' the disorientation that occurs when the world changes faster than we can rearrange our thinking patterns, attitudes, and values.
It doesn't have to be that way."
Comments (81)
Thanks for the leads. But did you really have to include the hulking mass of discarded books? A writer's nightmare!
Michael, I love lists! I would just say the Jeffrey Yang piece in Chicago Review means a ripper/stapler/chucker would have two small books if he/she followed your suggestion. And yes, the Prynne is "that good".
There's no one under 40 on this list, which may just be the landscape, but c'mon . . . feels pretty safe. No one wanted to risk anything on Zachary Schomburg, Tao Lin, Lara Glenum, Craig Santos Perez? Do y'all not get the SPD catalog?
What about Michael Robbins's poem in the New Yorker?
And what about Kennty Johnsmith's Day?
Let's not forget Blithewold Dendron.
I'll split my favourites into five US books and five from over here:
Chronic by D A Powell (Graywolf Press)
Fort Red Border by Kiki Petrosino (Sarabande Books)
Sunny Wednesday by Noelle Kocot (Wave Books)
Taste of Cherry by Kara Candito (University of Nebraska Press)
Shore Ordered Ocean by Dora Malech (The Waywiser Press)
Broken Sleep by Sally Read (Bloodaxe Books)
Like This by Diana Pooley (Salt Modern Poets)
Through the Square Window by Sinead Morrissey (Carcanet Press)
We Needed Coffee but… by Matthew Welton (Carcanet Press)
Undraining Sea by Vahni Capildeo (Egg Box Publishing)
Teri G., I must protest. Rachel Zucker is indeed under 40.
Ageism, great.

I hope Michael Marcinkowski didn't mean the above as a snide aside on the other material in the Chicago Review issue. CR is hands down one of the centripetal literary journals of the U.S., and it is so because it's consistently rich and provocative in its offerings.
Marcinkowski's absolutely right about the importance of the Prynne essay (though lots to argue with there, too, for sure), but there's a large amount of other great stuff in the magazine worth reading. Google Chicago Review and check out the table of contents. And if you get the issue, don't throw the rest away, even if you make your own little book out of the Prynne!
Raúl Zurita is truly a vate, a prophetic poet. I got the chance to get to know him at the Poetry Festival in Medellín, Colombia. He has the deepest voice, giving the impressio of huge depth, and long, bony fingers. He wraps an audience around his hand. He was arrested at the university on September 11, 1973, tortured and confined on a Navy ship, but ultimately released. He has skywritten poems over New York, written poems with bulldozers in the desert. Half the Chilean poets reject him. Well, almost all the Chilean poets reject Neruda.
Kent– not at all– the CR's one of a few magazines I always check out. I think it usually bats around .375, which for my money is astonishingly high. The admittedly snide aside was really just to re-enforce how much I loved the Prynne. I was totally bummed to have been laid up with what I assumed to be the first wave of the swine flu when he gave the lecture at the U of C earlier this year, so to see it in the CR, and for it to be so engaging, set it in stark relief to the rest of the issue, however quality the rest of it is.
I read the Prynne in a copy that was floating around the offices here, and haven't had a chance to really check out the rest of the issue yet. The portfolio of German poets in the same volume seems to merit some attention. I hope someone is able to chime in and talk a little bit about it.
One general question though: didn't Powell's North used to carry CR? I popped by there the other day to get my own copy of the latest and I couldn't find it in the store.
John Oliver Simon wrote on Raul Zurita:
>He has skywritten poems over New York, written poems with bulldozers in the desert.
For an account of a meeting with Zurita, pic of him, and a photo of the giant bulldozed poemwork in the Atacama desert, see
a collaborative essay by Forrest Gander and me from a few years back.
Here is my top 5 books for 2009:
And, Michael Blumenthal
The Spoils, Ted Matheys
Tryst, Angie Estes
Chronic, DA Powell
Warhorses, Yusef Komanyakaa
Upgraded to Serious, Heather McHugh
Ok, that's 6. And they all might not have been published in 2009. But what the heck, that's when I read them.
Purgatory: picked it up the other day. Zurita writes boldly in spite of the Neruda burden. Considering his subject matter, he almost has no choice. Good thing he has the courage to carry through.
OK, thanks for the blurbs, gentlemen. But what is actually GOOD about the Prynne? Aside from the fact that it is "the Prynne"? Can we try to move away from unpaid PR campaigns, toward substance? Ie., what do you LIKE about The Prynne?
Do you know if Bolano knew anything about Zurita? If he did, Distant Star must have been, at least in part, an attack/homage. And it certainly feels more roman-a-clefy.
It's a complicated piece. I'm thinking about writing something more extended about it.
At its heart is an argument for the presence of deep, cross-historical phonological energies apprehensible in strong poetry. Or a suggestion that more attentiveness to phonological vectors may reveal such structure. It's something you might find to your liking, Henry. Prynne proposes that this phonological stuff is more substantive and meaningful than surface matters of prosody or even syntax. He does a lot in the essay with etymology, to show how certain grammatical choices (mainly with verb and verbal forms) carry subliminal, even somatically laden charges that can be traced back through time, seen and felt as charged in exchange with prior cultures. A listening and calling back, with what he terms "mental ears," so that the poem becomes a space where history is doing a sort of linguistic peek-a-boo performance, involving masks, and role-changing, and time bending, all of it up-welling from a material substratum we are surrounded by, but don't exactly hear. Poetry is the stereophonic instrument that allows us to…
There are interesting echoes in what he's proposing, actually, with the work of a school of linguists active in Leningrad during the late Soviet years– the LISS group, which I wrote a bit about some years back (I met some of them in 1989, when I was over there). The issues that don't seem quite worked out in the essay (and Prynne makes clear his proposals are preliminary– though you'd never know it, I guess, by the twenty pages of footnotes!) are those of agency and axiology: His cases are Wordsworth and Milton, and though he does say that the linguistic mappings he discloses in the close readings were not necessarily consciously made by the poets in composition, Prynne's etymological claims and references are specific enough to make one wonder how such cross-historical "soundings" might purposively emerge without the OED close to hand! In the case of axiology, the questions posed are larger ones, I think, and have to do with what we read *for* and *why*, and in this sense I think it might be interesting to explore the essay as a kind of sublimated polemic for modes of formal difficulty and resistance, a la Adorno. That's just a hunch, from a first reading.
It's a brilliant essay.
Spasiba, Kent. Sounds like The Prynne has been reading a lot of historical linguistics.
I'll see you, and double you: here's an interview with Marie Ponsot, who has a new book out at the age of 88:
That was my thought, too, Henry. I felt the essay was oddly old-hatty, esp. coming from Prynne (whose poems I love, I should add). A better, deeper read is a book just out by Daniel Tiffany, Infidel Poetics, which explores what he calls "lyric obscurity." Just my opinion, needless to say!
Oh yes, Penelope, Bolano knew about Zurita and Zurita knew about Bolano. I've got something coming out on the matter, in Fulcrum journal– whenever the next issue of the journal comes out.
I didn't mean to sound dismissive, though. I'm really interested in historical linguistics right now. Reading "The horse, the wheel & language", a fascinating book about Proto-Indo-European (P-I-E in yr ear), by archaeologist D. Anthony. & "Infidel Poetics" too, thanks to you.
Okay, 38. And Ponsot is 88. The point–not properly expressed, perhaps–is that I think this list is overly safe. I would have liked to see someone take a risk on something not already so clearly acceptable.
Thanks for the great list! It motivates me to get going on my poetry reading.
Rachel Zucker is 37. (Although you can send her birthday wishes on 12/27 — her 38th). Acceptable? Acceptable? I'm not sure I agree with that.
That's great. I'll be happy with either warm friendship or virulent enmity, but until fulcrum comes out I'll sit suspended in the irresistible smugness that comes over me when I contemplate the feuds of foreigners. An attitude I'd like to think Bolano would approve of.
Chilean writers have traditionally hated each other. Pablo de Rohka called Neruda a plagiarist and a sexual amphibian, and called Vicente Huidobro a señorito with fat pink fingers playing with Daddy's money. Not to be outdone, Neruda called de Rokha a titanic goon.
Neruda makes a fatuous appearance in By Night in Chile. Not having Spanish leaves a big gap in my, and fellow non-hispanophone readers, knowledge of Bolano, particularly his relationship with poets from both Chile and Mexico. There is much to said about it, I would think. Hopefully, apres Kent, it will be.
I'm so ageist that ALIVE is too young for me!
Sorry, I find ugly and insulting to poetry Michael Marcinkowski's suggestion that it "is [our] perogative" whether to literally throw in the trash everything but the 30 page Prynne essay in the current Chicago Review.
Even if it's somewhat tongue in cheek, why oh why suggest that, given the other great stuff in that issue, including the Berlin poets (75 pages), and David Grubbs' account of collaborating with Susan Howe.
If I ever did want to get rid of any pages of this issue, you know what I'd do with them? Stuff 'em down Marcinkowski's throat, that's what. Shame on him.

That doesn't mean that everyone who's irascible is worth a damn.
Yes! A quote-off! I am nodding and saying "hmmm"!
Boy, that attitude really worked out well for old Ezra "I was a crazy anti-Semite who spent my last days as bonkers as a guy who's really bonkers" Pound, didn't it. I mean, his poems are pretty great, but I wouldn't exactly take any advice on how to live from that guy.

Hey Franz, it's me, Henry Gould. You don't really know me. I'm not famous, or successful. I haven't won any poetry awards (since college, anyway), or published any books with major publishers, or gotten any grants or genius
awards or anything like that. I did just watch a movie on DVD, "Taking of Pelham 1-2-3", with Denzel Washington & John Travolta. It's a movie about communication in a situation of conflict. & it reminded me of the email & blog post you wrote, where you attacked & insulted me, out of the blue. Well, I'd like to talk. I wish I were as mellow & suave as Denzel Washington (a famous actor) in that film… I could use that right now. It's a tense situation, where we don't really know each other, but we have to communicate… I'd like to be a peacemaker, like Denzel. But I kind of identify also with Travolta, since he had all that frustration & rage… he wasn't right in
the head, he had a chip on his shoulder, he was angry with the world… well, I'm not really angry with the world, but with respect to the recognized poetry world, you
are definitely on the inside, & I am on the outside, that's how it is. & you took it upon yourself to zero in on me & put me down. Why?
Do you feel threatened by internet chit-chat about poetry? Does it seems to shift the dynamics of your readership, sort of the way Travolta kept checking the Dow Jones, down there in the subway train?
The thing is, I have read quite a few of your poems. I have read articles written about you. I actually like what I read a great deal. I ENJOY your poetry, I like your father's poetry too (I grew up in Minnesota, near that
farm where your father wasted his life, reading Rilke). My question is, what do you know about me? I have the feeling that, for you, I am just one of those chattering nonentities out there, making trivial & facetious comments about literature. A spoiled brat, an academic, a privileged ivory tower type. & that poetry is something very different from that world. Am I right? Well, let me tell you, if that is indeed how you feel, well, I agree with you! That's how I feel too! Let's talk about it! No, don't let that subway car crash into Coney Island, OK? Let's keep talking!
Hey, Franz, I've been in a mental hospital. I've been given the Minnesota Multiphasic (the doctor was upset – he said I came out "perfectly normal" – which messed up their machine). I've dealt with illness, & with mental & physical suffering, on many, many levels – possibly more than you have, even. I started writing poetry in 1956 (I am possibly 12 years or so older than you are). & I've kept at it. Why? I feel I'm good at it, actually. Despite the fact that the world in general doesn't seem to think so, & your insulting email & comment have reinforced that perception. But hey, I've been writing for a long time, it's a habit you don't lose easily. Right? I know you understand that. I've seen your remarks about how you have devoted yourself to your art, come hell & high water. Well, I understand that. I've been doing it approximately twice as long as you have, my friend.
You don't really know much about me. My paternal great grandmother was named Jessie Ophelia Lawrence. Her father was a riverboat captain on the Mississippi. Jessie's sisters' names were Cleopatra & Desdemona (her father liked Shakespeare, I guess). My mother was a childhood friend of Longfellow's granddaughter (they grew up in nearby houses on the Mississippi riverbank, in Minneapolis) – she had her first drink (sherry) in the
Longfellow house in Portland, Maine, when she was 13 (my mother's parents were Iowa teetotallers, so you can imagine how dramatic that was). My father quit drinking & chain smoking on New Yrs Eve, back in the 60s. He had will power! He wrote down my first poem (1956) on an apartment room key card (a little piece of cardboard) as
he was leaving for work – this was the poem I had just composed (for him, mainly) :
Play, p[ay,
it's time to play!
Play all day,
that's what I say!
Your work is done,
come out in the sun!
Play, play play!
50 years later, my mother happened to find that key card, & sent it to me, from Minneapolis. I think it's a pretty good poem, don't you?
But listen, Franz – here's the clincher. I know perfectly well that what you has to say about me was nothing personal, nothing personal at all. Rather, you were expressing a professional opinion about the value of my work, such as you have seen it. & that's fine. I'm not afraid of your opinion, it won't hurt me to hear what you think of my writing. But if you don't defend your argument – if you simply leave it at the realm of insult, without evidence or argument – well, then that's all it is, a personal insult. & that's why I'm writing you this open letter : because I don't I gave you any cause to insult me. Am I wrong? Have I missed something? If so, please let me know.
Henry Gould
p.s. hey Franz, I forgot to mention my dramatic adolescent spiritual experiences, & my return to religious faith, & my love & gratitude to God, & the relation of all that to my writing, which I know you have also been through, seriously… but let's leave that for another time. When we get off the Pelham subway.
Since this is an open letter, I guess anyone has the right to respond. This letter is completely unfair. I notice that you addressed Mr. Wright's response to the comments on digital emunction, but you did not mention how your friends Kent Johnson and Michael Robbins have been goading him, insulting him, mocking him and publicly bringing his name up over and over. How would you respond, Mr. Gould? Obviously, this is a case of resentment due to exactly what Wright claimed: jealous nobodies simply trying to provoke a successful somebody. In my opinion it was a shameful display of disgraceful behavior.
And here you are, badgering and bothering the man again.
What does this have to do with the poetry of the year blog?
And, no, I'm not a fan of Franz Wright's poetry…just one who believes in fair play. I objected when this first started on DE but my comments weren't posted. It must be great to criticize anyone you want and simply ignore any objections. Even Dick Cheney would be proud of you.
My open letter is not meant as an attack on Mr. Wright, as should be clear from its content. It is a response to "ad hominem" remarks by Mr. Wright both to me and about me, in a blog comment thread and a private email. But my letter is not meant as an antagonistic or angry response to those remarks. I think you misunderstand and mis-characterize both my letter's occasion and its content, Mr. Fitzgerald.
how is favoring old people any less "ageist" than favoring young people?
Fair enough and, if so, I apologize. Maybe you should 'open' the comments you received that initiated your response so it will be clear to all of us.
Not ruling out old people because of their age isn't the same as favoring them.
There is, of course, the fact that, ideally, poets get better as they go along. Those who are under 40 now will, if they keep at it, be writing even better poetry later, and maybe the stuff being written by older poets could simply be better than most of what's being written by younger poets. No -ism about it.
Henry–I have no opinion about your "work", or the "work" of others like little Kent and the others you masturbate with. My suggestion to all of you is: give up everything for the art. Everything. Can you do that? I did it 35 years ago–do you think that might have something to do with what you little whiners call "being on the inside"? I am not on the inside of shit. I gave up everything, everything, to be a poet. I lived in financial terror and homelessness, sometimes, for nearly 40 years. Can you do that? You little whining babies.
OK, Franz. So it's not about my poetry, which you clearly haven't read. You decided to insult me personally because I engage in a lot of internet chit-chat. Here's a question for you : if it's so worthless & a such waste of time, what are you doing here?
I guess once you've published some books with Knopf or whoever, & proved you are a real bonafide poet, it's OK to go online now & then & badmouth people, vent. That's what I would call one of the perks of literary success. Hey, you'te welcome to it, buddy.
All rather ugly, the preceding. One would hope that poets (human beings?) might perceive and/or practice a larger esprit de corps than what's evidenced here. Because if poets can't manage to behave humanely with each other, how in the world can we maintain hope that humanity might learn to?
I understand the impulse to say "a plague on both your houses". But I haven't responded to Mr. Wright's disparaging remarks with more insults. In fact, in the open letter above, I praised his poetry, & sought common ground.
This is obviously some private affair that has nothing to do with anything in this thread, so Henry, why don't you take your pique and put it in an email to Franz and sort it out that way? Or give him a call? You just sound petty and silly importing this stuff from somewhere else and dropping it in here.
It's an Open Letter. It's not required reading, for you or anyone else. I chose this method & this venue because Mr. Wright is in the habit of transmitting his disdain for persons in both public & private fashion, & then refusing to discuss it further. I am just one recipient of such contemptuous messages. I decided to try to change the pattern. I'm willing to take the consequences.
"The fastest way to get famous is to throw a brick at someone famous."
– Walter Winchell
Said consequences include the peanut gallery, inevitably.
Inevitable peanut gallery, we get to Bronx cheer both sides as hissy fits play out in public, making each principal look tawdry. Shall we lay odds on the passive-aggressive righteous wounded victim, or the huffing dismissive hollow dominant? Blood-pressures soar, obsessive ripostes await, but luckily, our all-too-reptile display behavior does not tarnish the poetry. I refer you to the nasty things said about each other in Chile in the thirties by Pablo Neruda, Vicente Huidobro and the Bukowski-like Pablo De Rokha.
It's actually a winter solstice celebration. Get with the program. Play, play, play.
Whiners? Little whining babies?
You're very quick with the put-downs, Franz. & you brag about your sacrifices for your poetry. But you just don't know me. You don't know anything about me! That's what amazes me.
Like I say, I'm older than you are, Franz, by quite a bit. I've made my own choices on behalf of poetry, but I'm not going to brag about it. & I defy you to show me where, since the time I started writing poetry many decades ago, I have "whined" about it. I think I've been pretty clear where I stand on the whole "inside/outside" business. I'm not one of the literary conspiracy hawkers, or theorists of factions. I've said that poetry is one grest art & tradition, & it has its own demands & standards. I've never blamed anyone for being left out; I'm not bitter; in fact I'm very hopeful & confident about poetry – whether I myself am "successful" at it or not. That is not how it is, anyway. Poetry has its own ways, which we can't control – I've said & written that again & again. I've also put MOST of my time & effort into making poetry over the last 25 years – & I'm happy enough with it. I can look at poems I wrote 25 yrs ago & still find them worth reading.
The thing is, you know nothing about me, & you don't really care : the insults come too easily for you. But it doesn't really bother me! Why should it! I'm just kind of taken aback by the gratuitousness of it all.
Anyway, I wish you & all the Harriet readers some peace & joy for the holidays.
Hmmm…mysterious disappearing comments and poetry.
I always said that Harriet was a magical place.
Wow, if you don't think Tao Lin is "acceptable," you must be living in Kansas. What Teri thinks of as radical is trite & staid, but who's counting. Me, actually. Counting sheep as I try to dream away the proposition that Tao Lin, of all people, isn't "safe."
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Poets, of all people, are more enlightened, a shining example to humanity? Jesus, do you want me to give you some names to Google in conjunction with "fascism" or "Stalin" or "anti-Semitism"? No? Then stop believing in fairies.
Gary, if you're going to lie about me, at least have the nerve to drop me a line or something. For the record, none of us at DE said word one to or about FW before he dropped by to insult a number of people in the vilest, most idiotic terms. Why don't you mention that everything anyone said about or to him followed his unprovoked fit of spittle-flecked nutjob megalomania?
Not to sound too out of it, but DE would be where, exactly?
Ahhhh, is the digital emunction. Yessss.
I don't believe in fairies OR in some inherent nobility of poets, just that we really ought to TRY to be decent (not enlightened, not perfect) human beings or why the heck would anyone want to read what we've got to say? At least when we fail in such an epic fashion we ought to have some shame and try not to broadcast our pettiness.
Donald Rumsfeld writes poetry, too, but you're not going to see me shelling out a dime to read it, even if it were any good (there's plenty of good poetry out there, I don't need to read stuff written by people with minds not worth communing with). At this point I'm not inclined to buy one of Mr. Wright's books, either, I'm afraid (not that he's in Rumsfeld's class of jackass, of course), though I've enjoyed well enough what I've read of his online and in the recent Poetry mag. He ought to try to keep that in mind when he decides to rant in public. He says he gave up everything for poetry. I hope that didn't include his decency, or there's an increased chance his poetry won't endure.
You know who's poetry I enjoyed this morning? Philip Whalen. Now that guy's good company.
Michael: first off, I do not lie…ever. You can count on that.
Secondly, I believe this all started when Kent Johnson announced to the world on DE that he had just written the worst sentence since Franz Wright. When Wright, indignant, naturally, objected, the pack was on the trail. The digital bully-boys went on the attack.
A comment can be deleted, but surely you don't think that I'm the only one out here who can read…or remember.
I do, however, want to compliment all parties to this little melee in that nobody said anything critical about anybody else' poetry. At least there's a little honor left among poets.
Mr. Wright's comments about me were unjustified and uncalled-for. I don't bully people & I don't take part in such. You & Mr. Wright may want to lump me with others, in order to play your own blame games. But that's your business.
The Best Poetry of the Year is actually proving very difficult to locate. This is not due to the usual reasons (small presses, pecking orders, editorial inebriation, slackers on the job, Corruption, Shiva or Kali or Destiny or Luxury, Sanitation Departments, Departments, Other Departments, Some More Departments, Pigeonholes of Departments, Intelligence on Vacation, National Decay, International Decay, Original Sin, Originality, etc. etc.). No, the difficulty (as reported by SNN – Somebody Nosey-Nosey) emerged out of the depths of nomenclature. Yes, that's right, out of WORDS. As reported by Jacqueline Triathlon of the Athens Duly Noted (AP/Reuters) in late November 2009, poetry – I mean Poetry in General – has changed its name.
Poetry is now called Elbakia (or Elbaquia, depending on region).
Search engines take note. What used to be referred to as "poetry" no longer exists. Be calm, stay tuned, everyone. Look for Elbakia. Good night, & good decade.
Sorry, Gary, you can "believe" that if you want to, but I was there. As I suspected, you do not actually know the history of FW's temper tantrums on DE, which long precede Kent's intervention & even KJ's tenure at DE, & to which Kent was alluding in the post you mention. I notice that even after I pointed out that you were wrong you didn't bother to do the basic research required. You "believe" that all this started with Kent's post, & that's enough for you, I guess. But for the record, which is easily checked, it started before then, when one of our writers posted a straightforward account of FW's stupid bullying of William Logan. Long before the post of Kent's you "believe" started the whole thing. FW came into the comment stream, throwing chairs, cursing everyone, ironically proclaiming his superiority, & generally behaving like the complete fool & jackass everyone knows him to be. That's why we occasionally rib him on the site. So now you know better.
Henry, Michael…you're both full of beans! I engaged with Mr. Wright on DE long before you guys were ever even there, back in January:
If you boys want to run with the big dogs, you should expect to get nipped now and then.
And you should cough up a little poetry …
just to justify the runnin', that is.
(Yes, Michael, I'm a little loaded again but, hell, it's almost Christmas and, like I told you, I'm always honest!)
Okay, I found Robbins on that thread. He was there.
But what ITF do you guys have against Wright? Is it because he's the only one who is human enough to even speak to us?
Where's Ashbery?
Bob Dylan, for Chrissakes?
et al,
et al?
Gosh, good question, Mr. Investigator! What do I have against Mr. Wright? I don't know – you tell me! I've said only good things about him, & his poetry. Why don't you ask him what he has against me?
Every poet, and their poetry, will benefit
from a little humility.
Again, don't know what you're talking about, Gary. But I do have poems coming out in The New Yorker & Fence, if you're truly interested in what I cough up.
Good for you, Michael!
And, Henry…you're the funniest guy in Po-blogia.
Unfortunately, being a poet, I have never known what I was talking about. I just write down what the voices say.
Great stuff, the ebb and flow of this poetic exchange.
Keep it up!

street carb choice - 350
I've got a 350 in my '64 gmc truck, which I use in the city for work & such. Bought it last summer with a holley 4160 in it. Recently I've been having problems with it - it stalls suddenly sometimes, perhaps the needle is stuck or something.
I suppose it needs to be rebuilt, which sounds interesting (though I've never done it), but I'm also considering getting another carb which might be more friendly to my general-purpose needs (and might be more fuel efficient!)
. Someone suggested a quadrajet to me, but I'm not sure what that is - is it a brand name or a style? Is it a general term for a four-barrel?
I'm also curious about edelbrock - i've been reading these posts, and i hear a lot about the Edel 600. Is this good for "normal" use?
I also read something about considering the difference in primary and secondary sizes... small primaries with big secondaries being better for fuel consumption or something.
Are there any good websites for this kind of research? (perhaps I should just do some google footwork for that one.)
thanks very much!
I think a Quadrajet would best serve your needs, they came on millions of GM vehicles from the 60`s to the 80`s, Q-jets are made by Rochester, a Division of General Motors. they have small primaries for good cruising and efficiantcy and huge secondaries when more power is needed. Edelbrock also makes these, as for your holley it`s a breeze to rebuild.
Heres the Hotrodders Knowledge site on carbs. It has everything that you can think of. Also how to rebuild the Holly.
thanks. I think I'll do some looking around for a quadrajet that is compatible w/my truck. Any opinions on the edelbrock quadrajet? (i think i was looking at #1904) There's lots of quads on ebay and such but I'm not sure I want to go messin with more potential problems, just like to get the fella working again. So I was thinking of a new edelbrock...
And in any case I think I'll order a rebuild kit for my holley anyway. I'm kinda looking forward to taking it apart and rebuilding it....
....and then writing a couple of posts to hotrodders when I screw it up!
thanks again!
a new one would work nicely, used ones I`d avoid.
I've got a Rochester Q-Jet on my truck (350) and I sure don't have any complaints! I'm getting really good mileage, too.
I *hear* the Edelbrock Q-Jet is better than Rochester, though I wouldn't know ... but if I was buying a new one, I think I'd go for an Edelbrock.
Any comments from anyone about the differences between Rochester & Edelbrock? Or is that a loaded question?
Alan Horvath
http://AlanHorvath.com/
Acoustic Rock ... for real.
Can you buy new Rochesters? Or are they only available from old vehicles?? (what's the term for that - OE?)I (in my great ignorance?) figured that vehicles these days don't ever come with carbs anymore... or is that wrong?
if ur thinking about getting an edelbrock q jet then the suggested carb for ur truck would be the q jet carb with the divorced style choke #1901. Brand new itll run u about $753.95 dollars it replaces stock Rochester Quadrajets and they are compatible with all stock linkage and components for the year listed.
look here.
much cheaper...
man I love jegs.

Why Street Art's Future Lies Within The Internet's Walls
Rapidly spreading visual ideas, as it turns out, have lessons for anyone trying to get their product out there.
The connection between Banksy, animated GIFs, and business might not be immediately obvious – other than their popularity in the early 2010's. One seems intensely contextual and linked to the actual world, while the second is portable and a product of recent internet culture.
Street art prodigy RJ Rushmore, however, has spent time in the communities that spawned both. Viral Art is his new free eBook, and it compiles two and a half years of research into a common history. Full of fascinating stories from the early graffiti era as well as great new internet artists to discover, Rushmore's collection spans stories across a multitude of media: photography, fine art, 'zines, films, and more. The salient connections he sees between street art and what he terms "viral art" on the web, though, are more important to him than the differences, and they provide a useful map for many on how to get a concept circulating across diverse audiences, whether your product is a friend's zine or an award-winning ad for a major company.
Rushmore, who is the editor of the street art blog Vandalog, conceptualizes the internet as fostering public art in a similar way to the streets because he argues that both are public spaces. A new population of amateur photographers and their sharing tools, such as Flickr, has created a loose online community that puts more art in front of users' eyes than ever before at little cost and high saturation. In particular, he sees Buzzfeed founder Jonah Peretti's 'Bored at Work Network' as a crucial sharing and pioneering audience that finds art and edification where others might not expect. And far from declaring street art a casualty of the web, Rushmore highlights several examples of street artists' responses to the web's effect on viewers' presence and responses.
These discussions are particularly relevant to our ongoing investigation of the power of online vs. offline events in the world of retail. Though the online world increasingly seems to back everything in business, offline events still grab attention in inimitable ways that, like street art, never occur the same way twice.
