Midwestern Hayride
Midwestern Hayride, sometimes known as Midwest Hayride, was an American country music show originating in the 1930s from radio station WLW and later from television station WLW-T in Cincinnati, Ohio. During the 1950s it was carried nationally by NBC and then ABC television. The program featured live country music (performed mainly by local musicians but on lesser occasions by national stars) and what was then called "hayseed" comedy, much of which was the inspiration for the later TV series Hee Haw. It is credited as the first country music program regularly broadcast by a national network.[1]
Inspired by the Shreveport-based Louisiana Hayride, the show was originally called Boone County Jamboree (named for nearby Boone County in Northern Kentucky). Midwestern Hayride was first broadcast before 1937 and was carried live on radio each Saturday evening through the early 1970s.
Television station WLW-T came on the air in 1948, sharing larger quarters with radio station WLW in the former Elks Building, re-christened Crosley Square. It eventually became the originating studio for the regional network Avco Broadcasting Corporation, which included WLW-A in Atlanta, WLW-D in Dayton, WLW-C in Columbus and later WLW-I in Indianapolis (after WLW-A was sold) when the program moved to television in the early 1950s. Then originating from WLW-T, Midwestern Hayride was simulcast on WLW radio until the early 1960s, then was revived in the mid-60s. At the show's peak there was a one-year waiting list for tickets to be in the audience (100 people was the limit for each weekly show).
In 1951, Midwestern Hayride was picked up by NBC-TV as a summer replacement for Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows. NBC aired it each of the following summers through 1956, except 1953. ABC-TV then carried it during the summers of 1957–59. For much of its television run MH was hosted by Dean Richards, lead vocalist of The Lucky Pennies, a local singing group. Richards also introduced a "Polka Time" segment (geared to Cincinnati's German heritage and its local breweries) aired near the program's close until 1969, when he was replaced by Henson Cargill riding on the success of his hit song "Skip a Rope".
By the early 1970s, then-16 year MH veteran Kenny Price, a popular musician and comedian nicknamed The Round Mound of Sound, had a string of country hits for RCA Records including local favorite "The Sheriff of Boone County". On the strength of those hits, Price was picked to be the new host of the show, which by then had shortened its name to Hayride (Louisiana Hayride had succumbed to rock and roll's popularity and left the airwaves by 1960).
Like many other locally produced shows of the day, Hayride become increasingly more expensive to produce, and WLW-TV executives decided to bring the show to an end in 1972. Kenny Price became a regular on Nashville-based Hee Haw four years later and remained there until his death in 1987.
In 2009, WYNS-FM, a low-power community FM station in Waynesville, Ohio (north of Cincinnati), announced it would commence a similar live weekly country music broadcast, The Ohio Hayride, beginning May 15, 2010. The local program, possibly the first of its kind since the demise of Hayride, was to feature local musicians as well as country music artists from past decades. The program was also to air on WPFB-AM in Middletown, Ohio and stream from the WYNS station website at www.hybridfm.net.

In our day-to-day lives, colour is largely secondary to form by practical necessity: the shape of a tree is more immediately important than its colour. In art history, colour has rarely been considered a worthwhile subject, but has been a discourse continually expanded by visual artists.
New Colour Guide (NCG) is not intended as a means of understanding colour (even if that were possible), but rather a project where colour was chosen to guide and structure my process of image-making. Why? Because, in a contemporary culture where images that cannot be explained by words are mistrusted, colour remains defiantly ineffable, mysterious and uniquely able to highlight the enigmatic nature of human visual perception.
NCG leads the viewer through a photo-world of schools, markets, offices and museums; forests, rivers and skies; artist's studios, laboratories and crime-scenes. It is populated by parents, children, teachers, pupils, tourists and spectators. Colour here overlaps art and science; it is added and removed by both the people photographed and the photographer. Outside, only the winter season persists; snow provides a background for colour but can erase it too.
We see that colour can rise from abstraction to suggest narrative and meaning; it can infer value through hierarchies, provide form, depth and resonance and be connected with feelings of order and disorder. Crucially these qualities are only palpable to the viewer because they have acquired the necessary experience and conditioning from early childhood to interpret colour. Colour can create context but, paradoxically, cannot endure without a context itself.
NCG is a wholeheartedly digital photo-guide. It acknowledges the parallel natures of the human light-eye-mind image and the photographic light-lens-processor image.
In making these photographs I first welcomed, and then engineered, the file-transfer errors that can disrupt lines of binary image-code and result in colour distortions. Normally corrupted images would be discarded, but here they expose the digital medium's chromatic building blocks. They ask: if a photograph is ultimately nothing but a white page, variously graded and spotted with colour, where is the tipping point when a million coloured dots becomes a recognisable image? Furthermore, if a digital photograph of a sky is rendered completely abstract by a file corruption, can it acquire qualities of 'skyness' simply by being titled 'Sky'?
Colour arrangements in nature are largely the result of natural selection but in NCG all colour is contrived and the result of artificial selection. The photographer's camera generates electric light (flash) which creates reflected light (colour). When recorded, this provides us with a layer of information which helps us construct a photo-world, but the discrepancy between colour's physical fact and psychic effect is ultimately imponderable. If any meaning can be gleaned it is cultural, leading me back to one, central question: how do we get ideas into photographs?
John MacLean has been a freelance photographer since 1998, using commercial, architectural commissions to support an independent, fine-art practice. His exhibition of Two and Two was a solo show at Flowers Gallery, London. John's work has appeared widely in books and periodicals and he has self-published seven photo-books. These are held in the National Art Archive at The Victoria and Albert Museum and in private collections around the world.
I read the statement (essay) for New Colour Guide and found it interesting but when I looked at the photos I sort of forgot about it. I just enjoyed them as a sequence of interesting photographs. Sure, colour held them together in a certain way but if you'd come up with a completely different statement with the same photos I'm sure I'd probably buy it. I suppose my question has to do with the relationship between statements and photographs. Did you fully flesh out these ideas before you started making the photographs or did the process of creating them help you develop the ideas? Make sense?
Each project starts with a simple idea or question and the process of taking photographs becomes an investigation of that. Editing the images begins almost immediately and if an interesting direction emerges I follow it.
I tentatively start writing an artist's statement about two-thirds of the way through a project: putting pen to paper helps me recognise the strongest elements in the work and enables me to start thinking about how I could bring the project to completion. I am comfortable taking photographs that are ahead of my ideas so there is a degree of reverse engineering when it comes to writing (pulling the project apart to see how it works).
When a project is finished my artist's statement can be means of drawing conclusions but these are personal conclusions and shouldn't suggest a right or wrong way of interpreting the work. For that reason, I never include text in my photobooks. Ideally, a text should add a layer to my work without the work depending on this layer to function.
"I am comfortable taking photographs that are ahead of my ideas so there is a degree of reverse engineering when it comes to writing (pulling the project apart to see how it works)."
I like that statement. What did you discover once you started to 'reverse engineer' the photographs from 'New Colour Guide?' I'm curious about the title too. I almost get the sense that you're using that particular language as a way of throwing off the viewer before they even look at the photographs.
An example: the first of my corrupted digital photographs were accidents but I had an inkling of their potential – so I started to make them in a more controlled way. At this point I hadn't imagined what their contribution might be but I felt they were questioning something that I wanted to question. Starting to write a statement forced me to try to understand what that question might be; it made me realise that the project was less about colour theory and more about 'the tipping point when a million coloured dots becomes a recognisable image'.
I decided on the title 'New Colour Guide' particularly with the book in mind, and yes, the idea that someone would pick up the book expecting one thing, only to find another, was appealing. The title has a tone of authority but really it explains very little: it's tongue-in-cheek.
So, what comes after 'the tipping point when a million coloured dots becomes a recognisable image'? Maybe that's just a rhetorical question. There's an interesting blend of photographs of people mixed with the still life images. Why are there so many photographs of people taken from above and behind? Was this intentional or was it a pattern you started to recognize during editing?
…the image fades (sand to sandcastle to sand again)?
I had noticed that people in families or groups often wear colours that are harmonious with each other. Photographing from above seemed to clarify these affinities. I wondered if the photographs could even playfully suggest that people have an unconscious desire for colour harmony, and arrange themselves (and objects) to satisfy it.
An early idea was to make colour charts by compiling photographs of people wearing monochromatic clothing, and the way to get a block of uninterrupted colour was to photograph the person's back. Finally, it was the accidental colour combinations of bag straps, belts, scarves, and coats that proved more interesting.
Do you ever think about whether your projects are non-fiction or fiction? Does it matter? Or perhaps it's the blurry line that you're after?
I think if a photographer is trying to invent a project that is completely fictitious, they will always be struggling with a medium which is repeatedly grounded by its qualities of non-fiction. I would say that my projects are conceived with an awareness of that.
When you start a project do you think about with a book in mind? And how much does the book making process impact the way you edit a project?
Definitely. I start with a title and the knowledge that I have space for about forty photographs in each book – that gives me a useful project framework. In the beginning, I keep my edit down to ten images, then when I have a strong base I start to build on it – but always with that upper limit in mind.
When I first started making photobooks I was shooting in quite a rigid way – only taking photographs in landscape format – now I try to shoot roughly half the images in portrait format so I can create a rhythm within the book's structure. I compose some images with a full bleed in mind, others that can live with being small on a page, and some as sequences. New Colour Guide is my eighth book and the first where the photographs themselves have influenced the book's structure. An example of this would be the inclusion of gatefold pages to accommodate the triptychs.
That's interesting that you changed the way you shoot (adding portrait format) with the book in mind. Do you have any moments of hesitation where you might feel restricted in any way? Meaning, your projects seem to be rather well planned out – specific formats, number of photographs for the book, etc. Does that ever feel restricting in any way or is it more improvisational than I'm thinking? And do you ever make photographs with no project in mind?
I am trying to set myself limitations that require inventive solutions. For instance, in my project Neighbourhood I allowed myself to take photographs within only a five minute walk of my flat. After a few months I was fed up, but it was this frustration that forced me to try new ways of working – I was in a corner and I had to photograph my way out. I think there is a balance to be struck when setting these limitations: rigid enough to stimulate creative responses without being so restrictive as to stifle them.
I am an avid reader of artist's biographies and it is through these that I became more aware of the influence of limitations. Some limitations, of course, are imposed by circumstance, such as a young De Kooning using black paint because he could not afford to buy expensive materials. However, I am more interested in the self-imposed limitation, as in Arbus preferring to work with difficult cameras, or Rauschenberg walking no further than one block to collect materials for his Combines.
It seems like every other month someone is declaring photography dead for one reason or the other. Digital cameras and the internet are two prime targets. This is mostly rhetorical, and just a way to discuss how photography is progressing, but there does seem to be this sense of perpetual crisis with photography. Part of me thinks this is just a reaction to the explosion of photographs we've seen in the digital age but others like Joerg Colberg have stated that they think photographers generally play it too safe. What do you think about the state of medium as 2012 comes to a close?
To my eyes, photography is alive and kicking in 2012 – it is kicking at its own boundaries and looking to move in new directions.
The arrival of the internet and digital photography has clearly made the medium less exclusive (much to the chagrin of some photographers) and consequently more abundant. The camera has become a tool much in the way that a pencil is: it can be used to make a doodle, a list, a diary entry, a record, a quick observation… or something with more intent. And the internet provides a ready audience (or perceived audience) for any image.
However, even though photography is now one of the easiest mediums to become competent in, I think it is still just as difficult to hone it into a form of self-expression. Even though the internet gives the photographer an audience, thinking of an audience can often result in less adventurous work.
Photography's rapid expansion could be an excuse to feel disorientated but could also be an opportunity to reconsider the medium's defining qualities and change our ideas about what a photographer can be. It is healthy for contemporary photographers to embrace these new developments and try to push the language of the medium forward.

Vandals attack Hobart's Botanical Gardens
It has been revealed almost 1,000 books and archival records at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are water damaged due to an act of vandalism.
Police say closed circuit television footage shows four young men jumping the boundary fence of the gardens and placing a hose under the front door of the Visitor Centre shortly after midnight on Wednesday.
The hose was left running for more than seven hours, damaging carpet, stock and hundreds of horticultural and botanical books.
Archival material recording the history of the gardens was also affected.
Inspector Glen Woolley says the crime is frustrating.
"There's no sense or rhyme or reason as to why this has occurred," he said.
"The damage is wanton, it's wilfull and it's caused significant damage and disruption to the gardens."
The books will be taken to Launceston's museum and art gallery to be freeze dried in an attempt to salvage them.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.

This week the National Film Board of Canada relaunched its website, which now contains hundreds of films from its archives, ranging from animated shorts to documentaries and feature length films. There are some real gems in there. This 2 minute animated short by Jo Meuris shows that with very limited means you can create something with high emotional impact.
So don't worry if you can't make it to Sundance, Annecy, IDFA, the Rotterdam, London, Venice or Berlin film festival. There's plenty to watch here.
If only all national agencies responsible for supporting film production would do this. I mean it is public money and after being shown at a festival most films that were produced with the aid of public funding just vanish.
Ohh, and as an artist I would like to have free access to high quality files so I can create my own mash-ups.

The start of last week looked to be a bright one for MLB slugger, Bryce Harper. The Washington Nationals' first game of the week had them facing the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, and behind Harper's bat, the Nats were able to cruise to a 3-1 win.
In the win, Harper hit his 10th home run of the season, which ties him for second in the National League in total home runs with 10.
But Harper didn't stop there. He added a solo-shot and used a sacrifice fly to bring in his teammate, Denard Span, who scored a run.
The following day, the Nationals faced the Tigers once again. Only this time, Harper wasn't nearly as impressive as the day before.
In the first inning, Harper managed once again to bring Span home, which resulted in a run for the Nats. Not long after, teammate Adam LaRoche was able to bring Harper home for another run.
The Nationals would go on to win 5-4, but after the first inning, Harper went a mere 0-3 in the rest of the time he was at bat.
Harper then missed the following two games against the Chicago Cubs due to a procedure on an ingrown toenail that had been bothering him as of late. Harper wasn't too shy at all when it came to his toenail, and didn't hesitate in uploading a picture of the injury onto his Twitter account.
In addition to the photo of his toenail, Harper also posted a couple of motivational quotes throughout the week on Twitter. He quoted former U.S. president Teddy Roosevelt and current rapper Wale.Comment on this story
Harper returned to the field against the Cubs on Sunday afternoon, where he was clearly rusty. Although he was making powerful contact with the ball, he went 0-2 with two walks, as the Nats lost to the Cubs 2-1.
Harper ended his week by wishing his mother a happy Mother's Day on Twitter, saying, "God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers!"
The Washington Nationals currently trail the Atlanta Braves by only one game in the NL East division. In order for them to capture their second-straight division title, they will need much more from Harper. They can't afford too many more average games from him.
We'll see if he can step up to the plate.

Tell Oil Billionaire to Accept Student's Debate Challenge
In the fiery battle over Prop 23—Big Oil's pet project to suspend California's landmark clean energy and climate legislation—a David and Goliath battle is brewing.
Joel Francis, a student from Cal State L.A., has issued a challenge to Charles Koch, the evil gazillionaire of Koch Industries, Inc., who has thrown millions into the Prop 23 effort and has a long history of funding the climate denial machine. Francis's very simple request: Let's debate the issue.
Should Koch ignore the dare, as it is widely expected he will do, Francis has vowed to march down to Koch's tycoon headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, to deliver his debate letter in person this coming Tuesday.
One hopes this simple but powerful gesture will create some waves. Because there are few better causes than defeating Prop 23, a blatant manipulation by dirty energy companies to turn back the tide on AB 32, a.k.a. The Global Warming Solutions Act, a critical measure requiring polluters to curb their dirty emissions.
Most wretchedly, polluters backing Prop 23 have marketed it as the "California Jobs Initiative" to appeal to citizens during the economic downturn. Yet in reality, the legislation would kill untold jobs in the rapidly-growing green industry—as Francis calls it, "the most promising employment sector for young Californians."
Without money or clout, Francis is leveraging the one tool available to everyone battling the measure—a voice. Join Francis in telling Charles Koch to put his mouth where his money is and accept the Prop 23 debate challenge.

Your donations to the "Yes on Prop 23" campaign make it clear how important it is important to you that California's clean energy and climate law, AB 32, is suspended.
Millions of Californians—including Cal State L.A. student Joel Francis—disagree. In fact, not only do they support AB 32, they say that without it, California's economy will suffer.
Recently, Joel Francis issued a simple challenge to you: Let's debate the issue.

I have a small company started in 2002. Last year, I decided to go "online" and when I registered the domain with Godaddy, their hosting package seemed very resonable so I went with it as well.It is just a few simple pages and it does not have a lot of traffic. I cannot complain.
I also started using their email services because I wanted to use my domain as my email ie (email@example.com) instead of using free email accounts like gmail. However, my clients stopped receiving my emails because many of emails went into their junk mailbox or got filtered. These are not marketing campagn nor mass email. It's a client specific email to one individual with an important message in it. I was very frustrated and when I called Godaddy, they said it had to do with the security of the recipients.
Anyway, I couldn't figure out the reason so I need to change service before I start losing business. My question is should I use a separate email service like google apps for my purpose or whatever comes with the good host (hostgater or bluehost etcc) is good enough. I am really new to this beacuse I thought all hostings and emails are the same. Email is definitely more important to be me than the hosting. I do run campaign emails to my clients and it can be more than 500 emails in a day (but less than 1000).
Your help is appreciated. thanks.
If you've been happy with Godaddy's hosting, and happy with gmail for your emails, then go for google apps. That's what I would do if I were in your shoes.
First, Welcome to SitePoint!
I had a similar problem (as a reseller, it wasn't just my e-mail, though) at a pair of shared hosting accounts. If you go to SpamCop or SpamHaus, I'm sure that you'll find that your IP address is in their blacklist (SpamHaus merely takes blocks assigned to a host and blacklists EVERYONE). That happens when a host "allows" spammers on a shared server (and the mail server uses ONE IP address for all the shared accounts).
My solution to that problem was to move to a VPS (or dedicated) server. You may be able to merely use Google apps but I'm not familiar with them.
I'm sorry to hear about your poor experiences with GoDaddy.
Generally the email that comes with the web hosting is perfectly fine (at least in most cases). 500-1000 emails per day is perfectly fine, just make sure you check with the provider before signing up. In this case I do not see any need to use a third party service for email. Perhaps you should move host and give their email a try before moving. Godaddy has a very bad reputation for web hosting these days. I think you will have a possitive experience with your new host.
Thanks. Are you referring my internet's IP or the hosting server's IP being blacklist? I can change my hosting service but not the internet provider for my business.
You can also do the search for so called email hosting. That is separated to traditional one. I suppose that would be something you need
Are you referring my internet's IP or the hosting server's IP being blacklist?
It is the hosting server's IP that can be the problem. Given that hundreds of customers will be using the same IP, all it takes is one sending spam (either willingly, or because his site has been hacked).

Cookie recipes worthy of your holiday cookie platter
Grab some pantry staples and a cold glass of milk — it's cookie season.
Fill your kitchen with sweet smells this holiday season by baking one of our staff's favorite cookie recipes. These sugary treats have been tested and approved by hungry coworkers at The Eagle's annual cookie swap. Bake a few dozen to share, or keep them all for yourself. Just be sure to save a few for any guests you may have sneaking down your chimney on Christmas Eve.
Thumbprint Cookies
Courtesy of Jennifer Huberdeau
This recipe can be made entirely in a food processor, or with a stand mixer and paddle.
1 cup cold sweet butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 cup flour
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
fruit jam
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks and vanilla together, set aside.
Combine flour and granulated sugar in a mixer with the paddle attachment or in a food processor/mixer and process just to blend. Sprinkle the butter onto the flour/sugar mixture and mix on medium until the mixture looks crumbly. Add in the egg mixture and mix until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place dough balls on the sheet. Flour the back of a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon, and push the back of the spoon into the cookie until the dough is pushed up even with the rim of the spoon. Be careful not to push all the way through. The cookies will crack a little bit, which isn't tragic as long as the walls of the imprint are intact.
Using a spoon or a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, fill each indentation with about ¼ teaspoon jam.
Bake the cookies until the edges are golden, 15-20 minutes.
Strawberry Milkshake Cookies
Courtesy of Rebecca Grande
1 box strawberry cake mix
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until combined. Fold in chocolate chips by hand.
Drop round (about 1 tablespoon) balls onto baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes — take out before they turn brown.
Sunny's German Chocolate Cake Cookie
Courtesy of Eric Shuman
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Blend butter, both sugars, vanilla and eggs. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and blend until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, coconut and pecans.
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per sheet, and bake 8 to 10 minutes.
Oreo Truffles
Courtesy of Lindsey Hollenbaugh
1 package of Oreo cookies finely crushed (I used peppermint-flavored cookies for extra holiday fun)
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
4 pkg. (4 oz. each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, broken into pieces, melted
Combine crushed cookies and cream cheese. Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls. Freeze at least 10 minutes (the longer the easier to cover with chocolate). Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

The search for a new Sheridan College president has begun in earnest. The College Board met in a special session on Friday and they decided to contract with the Association of Community College Trustees to provide recruitment services. Trustee Kati Sherwood says the whole process could take less than five months.
The Board expects to have a contract ready to approve by their regular meeting later this month. ACCT will actively recruit for the position from February through April. They provide a list of 6 to 12 final candidates to the Board around the beginning of May. From that time the Board will narrow the field further before making a final decision by the end of the month.
