US Elected to UN Rights Council
The United States has been elected to a seat on the UN Human Rights Council for the first time.
The council had been shunned by the Bush administration, which accused it of admitting states with poor rights records and having an anti-Israel bias.
But the Obama administration has reversed its predecessor's policy of boycotting the Geneva-based body.
The US was one of 18 countries elected to the 47-seat council in a vote by the UN General Assembly.
It received 167 votes, far more than the 97 votes needed in the secret ballot.
The Obama administration announced in March that it would be seeking to join the Human Rights Council as part of a broader strategy to create a "new era of engagement" with the rest of the world.
Previously, the US government had accused the council of being hijacked by countries with a strong bias against Israel, and had criticised it for its failure to condemn perceived human rights violations by the Sudanese government in Darfur.
A number of countries whose human rights records have been criticised by the US - including Cuba, Saudi Arabia, China and Russia - are also represented on the council.
The council was set up in 2006 to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights, which had also been dogged by accusations of anti-Israeli prejudice.

Show AllWith a rogues' gallery like that on the council, I guess the basic rule about human rights will be that "The ones with the guns have the rights."
The USA and Israel: shining beacons of human rights. Excellent examples for the rest of the world to follow. These countries have the moral authority to dictate what the rest of the world does, using violence if necessary.
Sorry for this slightly off-the-wall comment, but this development reminds me of an episode in a truly excellent book called, "The Way It Spozed to Be" by James Herndon. Written c. 1960, it's the author's account of his first year teaching in an inner-city elementary school in California. (He is fired for incompetence, although he made a comeback and became a widely-respected teacher and author.)
Since I doubt that anyone will rush to dig it up, I'll cut to the chase: one of the students in Herndon's English class is Leon LaTore, who makes an appearance now and then, but spends most of the school year in and out of "Juvi", or wandering around the school making trouble-- e.g., setting fires in trash cans, selling kids drinks of wine for a nickel, etc. The kid is bad news, and no scholar.
On the last day of school there's a big assembly in which awards are handed out. The principal saves the best for last, presenting a Spelling Award to... Leon LaTore! Herndon knows that the only way to get such award is to take a spelling test given in English class-- and LaTore was in Herndon's English class. Or not. So Herndon knows that Leon never took the test; the award is totally bogus, and the principal apparently made some kind of face-saving deal with Public Enemy Number One.
Needless to say, LaTore strolls up on stage and collects his prize like he was born to receive it.
Sorry if that was a long way to go, but "US Elected to UN Rights Council" is the global equivalent of "Leon LaTore Gets Spelling Award".
· Yr Obd't Servant
Where are they now?
Leon LaTore has been appointed as our representative to the UN...
Well put. Until We the People find some way to stop the MIC and the ongoing administrations from reaping endless profits by raping the environment and by killing and exploiting the people of poorer lands, we belong in the "hall of Shame" not the Hall of Fame.
It appears to me that the goats have been loosed to guard the cabbage patch and the wolves are to shepherd the sheeple.
Well, you've got to start some place. What we need to do is to dissolve the NSC, which is the avenue for veto power quashing, making an international 'forum' with 'equal voices' impossible. I am convinced much violence will begin to abate when EVERY nation is given a voice (and real consideration). It is inevitable if we are to survive now on this globe. There has to be more tolerance for all types of nations. The Latin-American countries have been forming an alliance because of this, and strong defensive alliances/power blocks will continue to develop until the U.N. becomes the body it was meant to be. Aggression can be dealt with MUCH better if ALL other nations collectively restrain illegal invasions (of course the U.S. and Israel/AIPAC have already violated that principle lately - in fact Israel has more UN violations than Iraq the last I heard). The UN may never be the ideal in the near future, but it has to move that direction. The U.S. is staggering from it's second 'stroke' (the first one was WW II/industrialization); is suffering from the 'oligarchic corporacraticitis' virus; and an 'MIC basis foreiginterventionitis' is still raging. In addition, we need to treat 'militarensis bloatitis' and go through a serious treatment of self reflection if we hope to recover anytime soon. Also, it wouldn't hurt to learn some natural holistic medicine to reduce all the unneccesary toxic pharmaceutical-induced behavior, sickness and out-of-control medical costs here while we're at it.
Is sick joke, n'est pas?
So we can re-write the universal declaration of Human Rights, right?
You have the right to be tortured for something you may or may not have done.
You have the right to voice opinions approved of by the government and big media corporations.
The bigger the Corporation, the more rights you have.
You have the right to worship any faith that keeps your women in line, and yourself unquestioning.
Some humans are born with more rights than you, don't complain that's the way of the world.
People who break the drug laws will be enslaved.
Every poor person is subject to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Everyone is entitled to a kangaroo trial.
As the Romans did, everyone charged with a crime is guilty until proven innocent.
You have the freedom to move, if you can afford the gas.
Everyone has the right to own property, unless the goverment can make more money by siezing it and granting it to a corporation. You might be compensated, at half the value of the land...
You have the right to be ignored should you protest peacefully in 'free speach zones' but you could be arrested for going to or from those zones at the whim of the politican/police.
This was also my first impression - that the US wanted to strong-arm the rest of the world into rewriting the laws so torture and other gross violations of human rights would then be 'legal' - but they can't make them 'moral' - there is no power strong enough to cure morality.
There are many Human right issues on this planet. Yet, before 2008, the only country which was singled out by name by this UN Human Rights Council was only Israel.
All other 191 UN members, some of which committed human right violations far worse than Israel (by a factor of 1000) - were not worthy of being condemned by this council.
As of January 24, 2008, Israel had been condemned 15 times in less than two years.
On 20 June 2007, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement that read: "The Secretary-General is disappointed at the council's decision to single out only one specific regional item given the range and scope of allegations of human rights violations throughout the world.
Anti-Israel bias was a fact.
I hope UN Rights Council will start protect human right universally. And treat all humans right victims equally.
Am I to understand, sanchothebailiff, that according to you:
Israel : 15
The rest of the world: 0
(As per UN Human Right Council country specific condemnations before 2008) is a fair and unbiased representation of Human Right violations on this planet?
And you call my comments "smear"?
True. But have you thought to ask why?
Member states are testing the waters to see if US allies are immune from human rights violations. Have you forgotten that the context of this situation is a 60 year old pro-Israel bias?
Ask yourself how many times we have vetoed a near unanimous condemnation of Israel by the UN.
That's why they want to proceed with this issue. They want to see if our attack dog is immune to prosecution/condemnation. Because if Israel is off limits, then they know their purpose is to merely condemn enemies of the US like N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela etc... And their role as a fair and unbiased (did you mean "balanced"?) representation of Human Right violations on this planet is a joke.
Look at it this way, if you were given a position in a police department created by the mafia, wouldn't the first question you would have be "do we arrest mobsters or just their competition"?
You got to admit, Letto, you are simply parroting the exact same line Bush spokesman Sean McCormack did.
"Spokesman Sean McCormack again criticized the Commission for focusing on Israel in light of many more pressing human rights issues around the world, such as Sudan or Myanmar, and went on to criticize the termination of Special Rapporteurs to Cuba and Belarus, as well as procedural irregularities that prevented member-states from voting on the issues; a similar critique was issued by the Canadian representative."
However, contrary to both of your assertions, context actually matters quite a bit and the singling out of Israel is not random or without a purpose.
hopedup, indeed I asked myself that question.
Why would an organization, who was supposed to represent human right, all human right, globally, ignored 191 countries. Some of whom are the worse human right abusers on this planet. (Sometimes by a factor of 1000 when compared to Israel)
Why the UN Human Right Council would chose to single out, again and again, only Israel?
Surprisingly, the words that pops into my mind are: "Double Standards" and "anti-semitism" instead of "Context"
Weird, isn't it?
Because its hypocrisy to allow the powerful off scott free.
Let me get this straight, Letto, you are now accusing nearly the entire UN General Assembly of antisemitism?
Are you forgetting how many times Israel has been condemned (democratically) by the member states of the UN?
You actually claiming that the votes of countries like Antigua or Cambodia are motivated by antisemitism? That the entire world hates Jews - even where they have no historical connection or sizable local population?
It really isn't surprising that you want to obscure the context and history of this situation. It's like Zionists have developed a form of Tourette's syndrome where they have to shout antisemitism whether or not it makes any sense.
The article and the discussion here is about the UN Human Rights Council and not about the UN General Assembly.
Suppose in a town of 192 people, 191 white and one black, the Sheriff arrest the black guy 15 times for jaywalking, while many white people jaywalk, steal, and rape on a massive scale in front of the Sheriff's eyes, yet he let all the white guys walk free.
Wouldn't you say that this Sherriff is racist? Or will you bring other reasoning such as 'context' to justify the Sherriff's behavior?
Well... that's exactly how the UN Human Rights Council did between 2006 - 2007.
Now don't get me wrong. - I'm not saying that the black guy is innocent. Nevertheless, the word 'racists' pops into my mind when describing this Sherriff.
Your analogy is missing a few details...
The whole town knows that the "black" guy broke into a neighbor's home, forced the inhabitants to live in a fenced cage in the back yard, after killing the father, denies them food and medicine, and tasers their children for resisting and protesting their incarceration...
The "black" guy shoots their dog and rapes their daughters while forcing their family to watch...
Also, his uncle is the police commissioner... And a jaywalking ticket is the only means that the sherriff has to show his contempt for these heinious ongoing crimes, since the Uncle will protect his nephew from any criminal investigation... In fact, his uncle gives him millions of dollars to test out new police weaponry on the prisoners, and tells the sherriff and everyone else in town that the black guy is a victim here because his grandfather was lynched by the white folk's grandfathers...
"The article and the discussion here is about the UN Human Rights Council and not about the UN General Assembly."
Are you for real? You can't simply ignore the relevant facts and the context which you find so uncomfortable. If you are claiming that that the UN Human Rights Council condemns Israel purely because of antisemitism and not because of their illegal actions or relationship to the US, then the same holds true for the much more numerous General Assembly votes.
Why is it you want to ignore them? Because it is CLEARLY absurd to accuse the ENTIRE world of antisemitism. If you didn't ignore them, you would be forced to admit that there are other reasons why Israel is being focused on. After all, I don't know a lot of Guatemalan antisemites, do you?
Letto, you are just playing games and you're not playing very well.
Perhaps because Israel, since 1948 has been commiting apartheid and genocide against the Palestinian people? Do you think that may factor in on the citations? Naaaaaaw...no way! It's all racism and bias and anti-Semitism and people forgetting about the Holocust which, as we know, is all the Palestinians' fault - no doubt!
Or perhaps you didn't do your research.
Perhaps the countries that single out Israel and only Israel are more racist, more apartheid and more genocidal than Israel?
Perhaps that's why Russia, who killed 50,000 people by shelling Grozny, Libya, who expelled its the Jews, Iran, who executed 40,000 people (Some because they were gays or practiced the 'wrong' religion), and China who occupy Tibet, while killing 1,000,000 Tibetans, chose to single out only the Jewish state while turning the blind eye upon themselves.
Nice try, didn't work. Zionists have lost all credibility - I don't even bother researching their claims anymore. I finally figured that out.
Research?!? Oh, Letto...
Are you forgetting how many times Israel has been condemned (democratically) by the member states of the UN?
Israel has been singled out by (almost)the entire UN General Assembly not once, but many times.
When you say,
"Perhaps the countries that single out Israel and only Israel are more racist, more apartheid and more genocidal than Israel?"
There is no way to get around the fact that you are accusing the whole world of antisemitism.
Do I even need to point out how absurd that is? Apparently so.
As for your claim that I didn't research, I would advise you to reread the article.
You may find out it was about UN Human Rights Council and not about the UN General Assembly.
You're right Letto,
Israel is a shining beacon of democracy and human rights, as is the USA. Those other countries are biased and just plain anti-American and anti-Semitic. Israel has done nothing wrong and the USA is acting on behalf of freedom and democracy against those bad Muslim terrsts. With that said, the USA/Israel special partnership needs to figure out how to take care of the Palestinians, Hizbullah, and Iran once and for all.
I never claimed otherwise, now did I?
But your insistence that we completely ignore the votes of the General Assembly are really quite funny in a pathetic sort of way.
Bravo to the UN. Israel is either the direct cause or exacerbater of most of the international problems in the world. Kudos.
Israel is the most racist, most antisemitic nation on the planet. Any UN body that fails to address that is simply not doing its job.
But supposedly, we are not allowed to say that, because it is antisemitic.
When it comes to trying to split hairs over the origin, definition or proper use of the word "anti-Semitic"...
Call me anti-semantic...
I hope UN Rights Council will start protect human rights universally. And treat all COUNTRIES equally.
"A number of countries whose human rights records have been criticised by the US - including Cuba, Saudi Arabia, China and Russia - are also represented on the council.
The council was set up in 2006 to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights, which had also been dogged by accusations of anti-Israeli prejudice. "
Oh yeah, it sounds wayyyy better now. What was it Jon Stewart said? "Mission Rebranding accomplished!"
I guess the admission of the US with its poor human rights record won't affect anything since the UN council already has so many human rights abusers on it.
This is insane. What exactly are the ethical and practical guidelines of the General Assembly to cause it to take such an asinine vote? It ought to vote to purge the USA completely out of the UN. If we've learned only one lesson past eight years it is that triangulation destroys. Try something different, eh? Try zero tolerance. Hippocratic oath, eh? Gonna be ready for that some time in the next millennium, people?
C'mon, guys. They just did it to twist the U.s.'s nipple.
This is laughable at best. The US made a part to the UN Rights Council. ROFL! Rights to what? Rights to do what it wants? Rights to invade whoever it wants? Rights to kill innocent people at will? Rights to warmongering? Rights to tell others what to do and refuse to do it themselves? Rights to pillage, theft, chaos and mayhem? The UN is just such a waste of resources, time and energy whose only use is to give cushy jobs to fat cats on the take.
So Coyote guards the chickens.
It was a typo...
It is the "unright" council...
All, so well said. Thank you all.
Another step in the right direction. Thank you President Obama.
Just a reminder. I have to do this in 2 posts due to the 1,000 word limit, but worth reading and remembering.
Part 1.
On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Beautifully Oxidized Bronze Sculptures of Elongated Women
London-based artist Michael James Talbot creates beautiful sculptures of elongated women inspired by Greek mythology and Venetian masquerades. The surreal rep…
Do not accept anything by tradition alone… Do not accept anything just because it accords with scripture… Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions
—Discourse from Kallama Sutra
Francis Bacon
Bacon was born in Dublin in 1909. He moved with his family to London where, at the age of seventeen, he was forced out the house by his father after he caught him wearing his mother's dress. For a while he stayed in Berlin with his uncle and received an education in art at a free academy and found himself in the sexually-liberal underworld of the city. When hereturned to London he began work as an interior designer whilst he continued to paint and follow an illicit and exuberant lifestyle in Soho. Bacon was excused from national service during the WWII due to his chronic asthma. His moody paintings began to attract much acclaim, in particular his screaming portraits of Pope Innocent X after Valazquez. Francis Bacon's first retrospective exhibited at the ICA, London in 1955 and was attended by several world-famous collectors and artists. In spite of the growing popularity of Pop Artists like Warhol and Hockney in the 1960s, Bacon was consistently showered with praise by critics and even recently has been acclaimed by the harshest of writers such as Brian Sewell (Evening Standard, 2008) for his gift to "…so lift [his subjects] with paint that we can contemplate ferociously profane images of sodomy and torment, cruelty and despair."
Bacon has long been an influence of mine and in my self-directed project one can see his themes of existential torment and violence have found their way into my work. The use of blood-reds, paint splashes and contorting limbs all feature highly, sometimes surrounded by deep shadow and often spiralling out into strokes which bleed into the shadow and colours around.
Pope Innocent X, 1953, oil on canvas
H. R. Giger
Another artist who shares my enthusiasm for manipulating the the image of the figure to the edge of recognition is the surreal artist and designer H. R. Giger, sometimes to quite disturbing effect. Porcelain-white bodies and extremities morph and merge with machinery and torsos disappearing into synthetic surfaces or covered with mechanical parts are commonplace. As a child, Hans Giger developed sexually at an unnaturally quick rate and was raised by a devout Christian family which may have added to his pubescent feelings of sexual anxiety. After doing a spell of work at a local carnival Giger began to establish himself as an artist and was ill-received due to the dark and erotic themes of his paintings. He works primarily with and airbrush in order to achieve smooth and curvaceous forms which are quintessential to the otherworldly appearance of his strange techscapes.
Greco-Roman Statues and Monuments
Marble sculpture is one of the oldest forms of art in the western world, the high availability of the material and the slight surface translucency made it ideal for sculpting human figures, often representing mythological figures or historically-significant individuals (in the time of pre-Christian antiquity these could often be interchangeable). Marble is also easy to quarry and soft enough to easily sculpt and polish, it can however turn slightly yellow after prolonged contact with the natural oils on human skin and can be eroded by weak acids making it less suitable for outdoors sculptures. Both my drawing and painting projects have been focused mostly on the interaction between the human form and malleable substances such as fabrics, hence my interest in marble sculpture- the quintessential marble sculpture tends to feature and abundance of classically-attractive bodies partially wrapped in cloth. The uniform shade of pearl white further suggests the transformation of human flesh into cloth, cloud or natural solids, the colour also gives the figures the appearance of dolls, aliens, gods or other quasi-human entities. Another key theme of my project is the nature of sentient being, self-awareness and the brevity of human existence- in the context of antique marble sculptures this is furthered by the occasional damage to limbs, faces and bodies, The Venus di Milo or The Winged Victory of Samathrace for instance (see below.)
Chris Ofili
Educated at Chelsea School of Arts and the Royal College of Art, Ofili's first show was in Brixton in 1991. In '92 he went on horseback safari of Zimbabwe where he witnessed a tracker observing dung to judge the proximity of animals, it from this trip that he developed his habit for combining dried animal dung into his paintings- "a crass way of bringing the landscape onto the painting" also a means of creating a dichotomy from the combination of a repulsive material and alluring images. He later spent time in Berlin, he appreciated the emerging hip-hop scene and the freshness of contemporary German art; he staged Shit Sale, his first public performance piece. It was from this that his Shithead stemmed- three pieces of dried dung with baby teeth and dread locks lodged in them, the wary and inappreciative glances he and his work would attract made him feel one with the lumps of dung he was flogging. Over the course of the mid-90s his style developed to accommodate collage alongside his elephant dung and his swirling painted strings and forms composed of coloured dots. Within his style we can detect an influence of Zimbabwean cave paintings, flowering and colourful abstraction of psychedelic art and the use of appropriation and collage typical of both Dada and 90's port-modernism. After a series of successful shows in London across the mid- and late-'90s Ofili was nominated for the Turner prize in 1998 for which he submitted a series of paintings "No Woman No Cry"- paintings of weeping black female faces inspired by the racist murder of teenaged South Londoner and the grief of the victims mother during media interviews. His success marked historical milestone in British art: not only was he the first painter to win since 1985 but the first black artist to ever win the Turner prize. The following years brought a torrent of opportunities for exhibition across New York, English cities and Berlin. During a show at the Brooklyn Museum, conservative New York mayor Giulani slated the mixed media piece "Holy Mary" and the museum director for its "desecration of the most personal and deeply held views of people" despite not having gone to see the show. The piece in question features a black Madonna surrounded by disembodied derrieres and vaginas, Ofili defended the sentiment of the piece, saying "when I got to the National Gallery and see paintings of the Virgin Mary I see how sexually-charged they are. Mine is just a hip-hop version". I can respect Ofili's desire to highlight the disrespectful and demeaning attitudes towards women expressed in certain black cultures (especially in American gangster culture and rap) by combining sacred religiously evocative imagery with profanely sexual porn stills. Since the turn of the century Ofili was made a trustee of the Tate Gallery and has partaken in the 2003 Venice Biennial, he moved to Trinidad in 2005 and has since totally changed his style of working, focusing on pure painting, primarily in green, red and black, the pan-African colour scheme (to represent red blood spilt by black people upon green grass).
Wu Shanzhuan
Wu Shanzhuan is a Chinese artist who currently lives and works in Germany. His work is concerned with the social upheaval caused during the Cultural Revolution, the role of the artist in modern and pre-modern China and the employment of text and images in both art and propaganda. During Mao's cultural revolution of the '60s and '70s almost all traces of traditional Chinese music, art, craft and literature was systematically collected and destroyed by the Red Army, meanwhile artists and intellectuals were sent from China's cities and forced to work amongst the proletariat on farms and in factories. In place of the Millennia-old culture, striking and cringe-inducingly blunt posters began sprung up and covered every surface. Shanzhuan's work combats this with slogans from popular culture and terms and words of poetic ambiguity produced and arranged through free association -all in blocky text of varying sizes and purely in red black and white, the colours of the Communist government's visual campaign. Shanzhuan was a member of the Red Humour Group a collective which was founded after the Cultural Revolution as a tonic to the abrasive propaganda and ideals of Mao's government. Shanzhuan was also a founding member of the Chinese Conceptual movement (1980) and the first Chinese artist to use slogans and appropriation in his work, he is a also a performance artist and uses fantastical expression, nudity and satirical humour to undermine to imposed and restrictive societal model forced upon his people by the Communist regime.
I appreciate and admire the style and and boldness if Shanzhuan's work, his intelligent use of text and characters, combined with installation and performance is relevant to my emerging style and I might look into how wordplay and text can be incorporated into performance and 2D pieces in my own practice.
Self-Analysis of "Red Wine Hangover" and "Blood"
Both of these pieces are one-shot performances I undertook in recent weeks. The themes of sacrifice, rituals and the interplay between spiritualism and medicine are important to my current project and are expressed fluently in these two performances.
Red Wine Hangover was inspired by the acts propitiation in the blood sacrifices of tribal cultures as well as the Christian Eucharist. As a young child I used to paint myself from head to toe in paints and perhaps this desire has lingered within me since; the act of painting one's body instils an unusual sense of power and freedom, like applying warpaint before a battle or make-up before a pantomime. In the same way that donning a mask gives oneself a liberating feeling of anonymity, so altering one's image with strong pigment provides a temporary new identity and permission to behave in ways they wouldn't normally. The piece itself is short and simple, an introduction into a new way of working and an experimentation in the alternative uses of pigment. A friend and video student assisted me with the filming and editing of this work.
Blood was a more elaborate time-based piece for which I enlisted the help of a friend to partake in the act of performance. I involved props in the form of a mod-roc caste of a torso, metal stands and clasps, clear plastic tubing, clay organs and a length of "intestines" (a long strip of red velvet). The caste (complete with baguette arms, alluding to Jesus's supposed transformation of flesh to bread) represented an ill man but also stood for the martyr or the sacrificial figure in general. The metal stands, clasps, tube and bottle are features of modern medical procedure, but the "bleeding" of the red ink into a tray is more reminiscent of medieval European medicine, a practice grounded in superstition as opposed to research and logic. In hammering the organs to the walls and stringing the velvet "guts" to the walls I am illustrating my feelings of repulsion towards offal and blood and creating a dichotomy between the frailty of the anatomical props and the violence they are subjected to in the name of ritual. The words I daub on the walls in the bust's "blood" read "religion", "science" and "art", a trinity of causes I think have played a vital part in shaping the development of society, where religion means the arbitrary reverence of controlling power(s) or following of personal beliefs, science is the cold logic which enables and guides technical progression and art is the expression and recordings of human experience and ideas. I think the imagery of this piece is strong and the motions were performed fluently; one piece of criticism I have is the slightly convoluted and jumbled messages which, though clear to me, did not seem to come through clearly to my critique group.
I will attempt to perform my next time-based piece in front of a live audience perhaps with content which is easier to decipher for the viewers.

Organic produce
I just saw this posted by CafeMom blogger Heather NYC and thought I'd pass it along.
Every year, someone complies a list of what the cleanest foods are - and which are the dirtiest. And we aren't talking which ones have the most little specks of dirt. They track the amount of pesticides used in growing these foods.
I think these lists are a great resource for us moms. Maybe we can't buy organic for everything - for cost reasons, for convenience reasons, for availability reasons, but using this list, we can see which ones we should really try to buy organic and which ones we could maybe buy regular. With any of them, always wash your produce thoroughly before eating or cooking.
The Dirty List -- These foods tested positive for a minimum of 47 chemicals...and some had more. When looking for these, try to buy organic: celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, domestic blueberries, nectarines, sweet bell peppers, spinach, kale and collard greens, cherries, potatoes, imported grapes and lettuce.
The Clean List -- These all had little or no traces of pesticides. Feel okay about buying non-organic: onions, avocados, sweet corn, pineapples, mango, sweet peas, asparagus, kiwi fruit, cabbage, eggplant, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet potatoes, and sweet onions.
Which of these do you buy organic?
I find it hard to keep up with this. I try to buy local produce and have found that even though it's not certified organic, it is may not be really "dirty". There's a cost to the farmer to be certified, and it's often prohibitive for small farms.
Quoting aenima49:
Oh rats, I just bought regular collards.

Slain officer was committed to changing lives, his father says
By Margaret Harding
Published: Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011,
In the week and a half since a gunman killed his son during a traffic stop, John Dryer said he has literally felt the impact Officer John "David" Dryer had on the community.
"My hand is sore from people squeezing it, expressing their sorrow that he is gone," John Dryer, 74, said on Tuesday at his family farm in Avella.
Dryer and his wife, JoAnn, left last night to visit relatives in Atlanta, four days after burying their son. During an hourlong interview, the house phone rang at least three times. Dryer said it's been like that all week, with people calling from across the country to offer their condolences.
"He helped so many people we never knew," he said. "He dedicated his life to helping other people."
David Dryer, 46, of Claysville, a veterinarian and part-time East Washington police officer, was fatally shot on Dec. 18 during a traffic stop on Interstate 70 in South Strabane. Officer Robert Caldwell, who provided backup, was shot in the right hand. Police killed the gunman, Eli Franklin Myers III, at his Rostraver home when he came out armed after a 10-hour standoff.
John Dryer recalled his son's life of service.
David Dryer became a volunteer firefighter at 16. He suffered second- and third-degree burns fighting a fire while he was in vet school.
"He just assumed it was his duty," John Dryer said.
When his son told him he wanted to go into law enforcement, Dryer said it was impossible to talk him out of it.
"I said, 'You're a veterinarian, you don't need to risk your life as a police officer,' " John Dryer said. "It was like water off a duck's back. I'll guarantee he helped more people than he ever arrested."
More than 1,000 people attended Dryer's funeral on Friday in Washington. John Dryer said he was touched by what he saw through the dark and gloom as a procession of 750 vehicles drove through town.
"It was absolutely miserable out -- cold, raining," John Dryer said. "Everyone all along the streets had their cars stopped, got out and had a hand over their heart or waving a flag, in the dark in the rain.
"It was incredible."
Supporters established the David Dryer Memorial Fund to provide for the officer's son, Ben, 17, who is autistic. John Dryer said he also wants the money to benefit an autism group.
Ben Dryer has been texting his relatives in the close-knit family several times a day since his father died, said Beth Ann Nijenhuis, David Dryer's sister.
"I still think he's suppressing a lot," she said. "It takes a lot for him to express his feelings. He's texting us five times a day how much he loves us. That breaks your heart."
On the kitchen counter in the Dryer home was a photo of David Dryer and a young Ben grinning at the camera, one of David Dryer running along a beach with a niece and another of him posing in full uniform as a Civil War re-enactor.
"We'll miss him terribly," John Dryer said.
The Western Pennsylvania Benevolent Foundation and others planned to collect donations on behalf of the fund before last night's Penguins game at Consol Energy Center. They also are selling T-shirts commemorating David Dryer at www.officerdryer.com and www.wppbf.org . Donations can be made at any Washington Financial Bank or mailed to the bank at 3616 Washington Road, McMurray PA 15317.

Oh how I adore MAC Paint Pots!!!
Below is my Paint Pot Collection
MAC Paint Pots are technically cream shadows but used commonly as bases for powder shadows. My all time favorite is Indianwood (metallic bronze).
LOL! I've used it so much that the name has rubbed off.
Other faves are Rubenesque (metallic golden coral), Painterly (def the most popular. A semi-matte nude), & Constructivist (dark metallic brown). Rubenseque & Constructivist work similar to Indianwood. All 3 are gorgeous alone, but even better w/powder shadows/pigments.

Thought this would be a nice change from most threads on this board that have nothing nice to say about FiOSThe DVR is a mess, The HD Lineup is inferior, the IMG is a disaster, HDVOD is nonexistent and the billing is a nightmare. Now lets hear what you LIKE about FiOS...
1. Getting a service tech out the same day you call with an issue.2. The internet service.3. ESPNU carriage.
The internet service is rock solid and the actual TV signal has always been reliable.
Multiroom DVR and On Demands
Picture Quality, Internet service reliability, onDemand.
I'm sure the folks at Verizon who read these boards appreciate the compliments (We're not all a bunch of whiners and complainers)Personally I think fios is the best bundled "Value" on a cost/benefit basis. And the wife is crazy over having Ondemand after being deprived so long with Sat.
Picture quality, Internet service, selection of SD channels
The pause/fast-forward etc... while watching VOD, no long lag between pushing button and reaction from the show, compared to scumcast.--Ways to Relieve Stress #10. Make up a language and ask people for directions.
The internet portion has been rock solid for over 2 years, picture quality is great (when not pixellating)- sorry but I had to add the qualifier so I guess it's a half compliment on the TV side. That being said, I still consider it growing pains and will try to be patient with a relative "newbie" to the video side.--REMEMBER: Stupidity should be painful !!
I've never had a service outage in 2 years.I only had one issue. The Actiontec died. I had a replacement 13 hours later.--So put me on a highway, and show me a sign.And take it to the limit one more time...
PQ is second to none and the internet service (I may just go for that 20/20 tier) can't be touched by anyone right now.
The 20/5 Internet Service is the best ever. Was with a friend yesterday who told me that while using his Bloombergthis week in one day this week, Comcast/Patriot Media cable went out six times. The telephone service is excellent. Never goes out like VOIP cable phone. The TV PQ is excellent and Iget CSN Phila HD, YES HD and SNY HD (until it disappearedyesterday and Phila and NY locals in HD.
Best PQ I've seen. Best SD lineup around (yeah I want an extended HD lineup, and I'm really waiting for HD VOD, but they have more SD channels than anyone else around here). HD included in the price. Best bang for your buck. Multi-room feature on DVR. VOD service. I even like the DVR. And I've had nothing but positive experiences with their customer service.Oh yeah, and rock solid, and fast, internet service.
My first ten reasons for liking Fios are 1-10:it's not Cablevision.After that:PriceClearer pictureFaster and consistent internet speed.
HDNET!! The movies they show are awesome. I know lots of other carriers have it, but I had Comcast and Comcast is never getting HDNet. The video quality is awesome too. I know someone who captured it, and said it's full bitrate, 18Mbps.And of course, the internet speed is just amazing for the US. With 20/20 we are 1/5 of the way to Japan's speeds!
stability of the service. I've had the internet for two years, TV a year and a half. Only had one outage in the entire time. and they made sure I knew what happened. The few times i've had to call for something, i never had to hold more than 5 minutes or so that I can remember, and the csr was always pleasant and helpful.my interet speeds I get at advertised or better, tv pic quality is excellent.--babbling | a time for change... | Sports Forum!
PQ10/2, 24/7/365Clear phones.
Internet excellent... Phone excellent... TV excellent...AND IT's NOT CABLEVISION...When I worked for Verzion ( retired after 34 years ) Cablevision was a customer and they were the biggest pain in the ass... Hate them...
1 - HBO/Showtime On Demand included in packages2 - Not Cablevision3 - Price value for TV alone4 - Price Value for Internet5 - (HD is not an issue for me, dont have an HDTV) - more channels than cablevision tier for tierApparently CV is getting a bad rap on here :-p
1. PQ of SD Movie channels is much better then Cablevision.2. Having channels Cablevision does not offer, ESPN U, NFLN,CNNi, ABC News Now, Discovery Health, Fit TV,and DIY.3. Only one outage of local channels only since service install in April.4. Only one outage of internet service.5. Though not directly related Verizon Voice Wing VOIP phone service works great via FIOS.6. DD 5.1 audio on SD Movie Channels.
Rock solid service - no outages30/5 internet is really 30/5! Comcast upload wasat best 768k and their internet really got slowaround 5 - 6 PM every day.Picture Quality beats comcast even on the localchannels which are SD.All of the FIOS techs that I have seen (1 installer,2 cable card installations) have been top-notch.
I'm still thinking. Don't rush me.
their usenet service, while not as great as when I first signed up, is still the best of any ISP.
For me, all the services have been solid once we got past the initial installs. Only 1 minor billing issue cropped up (so I carefully check the bill each month).The phone service, the TV service and the Internet service have been rock solid. The multi-room DVR is a winner in the house whenever someone takes advantage of it.At this moment, considering from start to finish, they'd get a 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.--Tweaked your connection? | Mail Parse | Speed Converter
Staggeringly good picture quality.Blazing fast Internet (with wireless router, which I didn't even know was part of the deal before the installer showed up with it).Using the DVR -- which ain't as cool as my kid's Tivo but, considering that I had nothing like it before, ain't bad.Getting to watch DVR shows in other rooms. That is really cool. [If only there were a way to see the HD content on other SD sets in the house, even if only downsampled in some fashion, but I know the SD STBs just don't do that. Maybe someday...]And, in my case, the fact that IMG 2.0 hasn't gotten to my area yet. [Sorry, couldn't resist.]
1 It's not cablevision2 Real internet speed all the time.3 Kids love the free kids stuff on demand.4 Wife likes the weather widgets.5 Series recording option.6 Multiroom DVR7 Did i say Its not cablevision.

Eric began his insensitive jibes: 'You've got a fantastic diet when you're at home. Is that before the chocolate or after the chocolate?
'That's what done your skin all that s**t you're eating.'
The former professional English darts player continued: 'I'd just squeeze her head and get the pus out all in one go.'
Insensitive: Eric, 55, said told Helen, 22, that he believed her skin had fallen victim to her diet
Chiming in: Former boxing champion David Haye also joined in on Bristow's digs
David Haye, 32, also chimed in before an upset Flanagan, 22, headed to Bush Telegraph.
Away from the camp, she said: 'I'm finding it a little bit hard in camp sometimes the boys; they're lovely, they would never mean to and I know they love me but boys don't have as much sensitivity as girls.
Helen continued: 'I love everyone in camp but I'm really sensitive about my skin.
'I know it sounds really stupid I can't believe I'm crying, it just gets to me because I feel conscious enough because I haven't got any make-up.'
Battling her insecurities: Helen couldn't fight back the tears inside the Bush Telegraph
Challenging: The blonde explained that she was finding it difficult in the jungle because she can't wear make-up
According to the Daily Star, a spokesperson for the ITV show revealed that the blonde had not made a complaint against Eric.
However the source added: 'We certainly do not condone bullying and if there was a complaint we would speak to the person concerned.'
The paper also claimed that Helen's parents Paul and Julia are said to be 'very upset' at Bristow's remarks.
And as fans of the popular celebrity challenge show watched on, several took to Twitter to express their outrage.
Self-conscious: The former Coronation Street star has been spent several hours inspecting her skin
Mirror mirror: The WAG looked less than impressed as she got sight of her blemishes
'Very upset': According to reports Helen's parents were less than impressed with what Eric had to say about their daughter
One person tweeted: 'Hope Eric Bristow gets kicked out of the jungle for the skin comments directed at Helen Flanagan. Horrible old bully.'
While another wrote: 'Feel so sorry for Helen Flanagan after what Eric said about her skin, I'd have cried if he said that to me too #outoforder #iknowhowitfeels'.
Helen's former co-star Anthony Cotton, also didn't hold back on the micro-blogging site and showed his support for her.
He wrote: 'Helen is very sensitive about her skin and this shows a lot more about them than it does Helen. She is divine. Team Helen x'.
Not getting along: On Friday Eric delivered another backhanded compliment to Helen
On Friday night's episode, Eric delivered another backhanded compliment to Helen saying: 'You are still as daft as a brush but you look better.'
Curious as to whether he was joking or not, Helen said: 'Why do you think that? Give me an example.'
To which Eric responded: 'You are daft, daft as a brush. Just because you are.'
In the Bush Telegraph, Helen admitted: 'Eric is really annoying, constant banter, it's driving me up the wall, literally!'
'Really annoying': Helen revealed that she felt Eric was 'driving her up the wall' with his comments
Feeling the need to defend his comment Eric told former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts: 'I'm a truth teller, just telling the truth.'
Ashley surmised: 'There's no filter, when he thinks something he just goes and says it, he doesn't process it before he delivers the thought, he just says whatever is on his mind.
'Helen is the baby of the group and she needs the most care-taking and Eric uses that in a way to poke at her and push her buttons and it's been getting to her a little more than usual.'
Confiding in Linda Robson about Eric, Helen said: 'He's doing my head in, I'm just finding it hard.'
Linda then told the young blonde she'd speak to him but he was unrepentant, Eric said: 'She's [Helen] alright in small doses but I have had 11 days of her now and I've zero tolerance.'
The Birds of a Feather actress replied that the experience in the jungle has made Helen look at things differently and she'd grown up a bit but Eric said: 'I don't think so I think she'll just go back into the same old world.'

Your shortcut to the world's best luxury and boutique hotels
⚲search ≡menuYou wouldn't be the first to come to the Orange hotel in London's well-heeled Belgravia neighbourhood for the food, but then stay for the rooms. Hidden above an acclaimed gastropub the hotel strikes the perfect balance between luxurious and laid-back, a friendly public-house atmosphere downstairs complemented by well-appointed rooms dressed in muted tones, exposed brick and wood floors. Its prime location in this high-end dining and shopping haven may tempt you out of doors, but we'll probably be relaxing with a book in charming Orange Square and enjoying drinks and farm-fresh cuisine with the many locals who frequent the pub.

the nurse inserts the cannula, i say 'thank you for not hurting me'.
my mate thinks i can't accept help. over the phone she says 'you won't let anyone take care of you, you want to do all the caring, that's not fair'.
s comes over to my apartment, we eat vietnamese food. i look tired, my body aches, she wants to give me a massage. when her hands touch the back of my neck i think of my mother, i don't know why. she rubs my shoulders and i cry a bit. a small part of me thinks i don't deserve it, is ashamed of needing anything from anyone outside of myself. the loudest voice inside my head says 'take the love, why won't you take the love?'

FSU efforts fail to keep Digital Domain film school in West Palm Beach
- Staff South Florida Business Journal
Florida State University's efforts have failed to keep its film and animation school in West Palm Beach, The Palm Beach Post reports.
The school, the Digital Domain Institute in the university's College of Motion Picture Arts, was a partnership between FSU and St. Lucie-based Digital Domain Media Group, which filed for bankruptcy in September. The school had 24 students.
The Florida Board of Governors voted Thursday to close the West Palm Beach school and is giving FSU until May 1 to submit plans to relocate the program to Tallahassee, according to the Post.
The city of West Palm Beach had given land, which has an estimated worth of $10 million, for the now failed animation school.

The hip International Design Hotel is located in one of the most recognized squares in down town Lisbon, Rossio Square, with classic architecture in the outside, but inside it's the archetypal contemporary-design boutique hotel.
Divided in four distinct concepts that bring four different experiences in the same place is one of the reach goals of this hotel, where even the smell is one of the main characteristics of the room and halls.
Urban, inspired in big cities rhythm, as room decorated with graffiti, cold metals and strong colors. The tribe city inspiration full of sensuality, translated by the organic forms and the savannah colors. In the Zen rooms people can appreciate an relaxing ambiance brought by simple shapes and clean elements. The Pop zone is fresh and full of colors, inspired by Andy Warhol with a lot of geometric shapes and the wall smell like bubble-gum.
In any pattern they start out compact but not at all lacking in comfort, and expand to take in up to 25 square meters, taking in a 40-inch TV and a hydromassage tub along the way.
The stylish Naoki restaurant serves a modern Portuguese cuisine, and the Rossio Wine Bar is another fine example of truth in advertising. More unexpected is the Heaven Room, not a white-clad nightclub but a multi-purpose relaxation space, including a reading room, massage space and conference center.

What free antivirus should I use on my Android phone?
Episode 1000
Ray fromRay uses AVG on his Windows computer, and is wondering if he should get AVG on his Android phone as well. Leo uses Lookout, which offers extra features such as the ability to remote wipe the phone, or to track the phone's location. Since AVG has this also, they probably are pretty similar in what the programs offer.
The question is really, is an app like this needed? There are malware programs on Android, but smartphones in general are less susceptible to attack. This is especially true on iPhone.

nice piece of work but graphics sucked and story wasn't the full thing of correct (you may need to see a psychiatrist if any more of your flashes have head shots)
I voted 5... But, uh... Read \/
This will never be able to stay #1. It went a shizer load too fast. I like how you were trying to be kind of like DBZ in a Nutshell. But, this would be the FUNNIEST THING ALIVE if youu made it go at normal speed. It would be great if some parts moved more too. I very much liked the parts with the girl. Where he eats her gun, and her boobs keep getting bigger, then at the end you made 'em tiny.
I like how she's like, "Look at my ass."
"Sure," or maybe he says, "Ok,", but I don't remember.
I also liked the diareah (however you spell that) guy.
You should have used more of those, "What was that?" Jokes, I think it's funny because there like, "Who's footprints are there?"
"What was that noise?"
You should milk the shit out of that joke.
I hope that this stays at maybe #40 or something though, because this is no way #1 material.
Still good though, please make a remake.
Thanks much.
I'm going to go look at her ass again.
Oh well! Number 1 isn't for me... haha.
Maybe you could make a version that goes "normal" speed? I made it at a pace that made me laugh, you're free to tweak it to your liking!
Meh. Not bad.
The voices were probably this submission's strong point. However, I found the humor really weak and unoriginal. Maybe I've just seen the Metal Gear Fiesta series one too many times.
i love jesus, it was a little too fast but funny.
jesus is my savior!!!! didnt understand alot of things at first but then i got it. it was good.
funny but can do better
that was so funny but you can do better and try to slow it down

Fashionistas at first scoffed at Suzie Moncrieff's displays of bizarre bras and out-there attire, but 25 years on international designers are clamouring to be part of Wellington's annual World of WearableArt show.

Fashionistas take heed as 'WearableArt' goes global.
FASHIONISTAS first scoffed at Suzie Moncrieff's displays of bizarre bras and out-there attire, but 25 years on international designers are clamouring to be part of Wellington's annual World of WearableArt show.
The event Moncrieff founded in the late 1980s features mind-bending costumes that use materials from finest silk chiffon to rusty kitchen utensils.
Models clad in spiked armour made of stainless steel mesh vie for attention with rainbow-hued paper jellyfish as bungee-jumping acrobats bounce from the roof, in an experience more Cirque du Soleil than fashion show.
"It's art-based, not your average catwalk walk-up-and-down scenario," says Moncrieff. "We create an amazing sense of theatre to show off these incredible works of art that the designers have submitted."
Already an institution in her native New Zealand, with close links to the country's burgeoning film industry, Moncrieff plans to take her World of WearableArt (WOW) vision onto the global stage, with Asia the first target market.
But first, the 60-something artist says, she wants to dispel the notion that WOW is simply a fashion gala with a few more brightly painted frocks than the average shopping centre collection.
Moncrieff says WOW's mission is to "take the art off the wall and put it on the human body".
The designs – "these are not dresses," she insists – are treated as mobile sculptures and compete in seven categories.
Around the costumes – 158 this year - Moncrieff's team creates a two-hour stage show featuring elaborate sets, custom-made animation and about 2,000 performers.
The extravaganza runs for two weeks at an arena on the Wellington waterfront before the costumes are packed away at WOW's museum in the South Island.
"Wearable art's a really hard thing to explain, you take it off the wall, you put it on your body," she says.
"People often don't realise that it's this huge theatrical performance. Even in this country, they sometimes still think that it's walking down the catwalk, and that's not something the average male is going to be interested in going to see.
"But they come along and they're just blown away by what they see and end up telling their friends to go." – AFP
