Niobe: The Cclose Calll
With highly regarded drummer Christian Thomé and Feinmotorik's Marc Matter, who both have contributed to the present album recording, Yvonne Cornelius (Niobe) has once more performed magic, enveloping little stories in multi-facetted songs. As always the exotic atmosphere that is lost in reverie is maintained.
A near escape from the "other" life. Twelve pieces about the question, how one's life might possibly have turned out. Yvonne Cornelius, composer of colourful and complex arrangements, and extraordinary vocal virtuoso, narrates in rich, imaginative ways from different characters who picture - within a song ? how their actually life would turn out if it was not beautiful but HORROR.
No Kids: Judy At The Grove
Judy At The Grove is a pop record of a different order, transcending any expectations of what "indie" music should sound like. Pristine production values, bonkers arrangements, and a star-studded list of talented guest musicians all prove that No Kids are onto some next level shit. Every track on Judy At The Grove points to a ingenuity, maturity, and clarity of vision that lifts No Kids heads and shoulders above their contemporaries.
Mantler: Monody
Six years after the release of his previous album "Landau", Toronto's Chris A. Cummings, a.k.a. Mantler, is set to release his highly anticipated fourth album Monody in March 2010. The album will be made available via Tomlab in continental Europe, Japan and the USA, and through exciting new partners Tin Angel in the UK and Ireland, and Blocks Recording Club in Canada.
Combining soul, rock, r&b, jazz and various other influences, the sound of Monody, which means "a sad melody" or "a single melody", is hard to pin down. Mantler further elaborates: "I like it when a 'normal' artist tries to make a 'weird' album, like Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, or when a 'weird' artist tries to make a 'normal' album, like Archie Shepp's Attica Blues. Somewhere between Tusk and Attica Blues, that's the area I'm aiming for, conceptually. Even if the end result sounds nothing like either of those two albums!"
Diamond Rings: Wait & See
Diamond Rings is a creative outlet for Toronto based artist and musician John O. His first single "All Yr Songs" was released on limited edition vinyl via his own boutique label and design house Hype Lighter in August 2009.
Diamond Rings' follow up single Wait & See marks his first release with German record label Tomlab and features gated snares, distorted guitar, and a catchy chorus featuring backing vocals from Toronto based indie-pop star Gentleman Reg. The B Side is an unlikely cover of Sebadoh's "On Fire" that trades the mid-nineties acoustic aesthetic of the original for nightclub-ready MIDI beats and shimmering analog synth flourishes.
Gigi: Maintenant
Capturing the spirit of the pop music that flooded the hit parade in the early 60's is a tall order, and the songs on Maintenant decidedly develop a world and language of its own. With a reverent eye on the past and a deep respect for the airtight songsmithery of artists like Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry and Shadow Morton (among countless others), the songs aren't content to be throwback-y pastiches or polka-dotted retro workouts but rather stand as attempts at working within a specific and incredibly rich tradition of pop music production.
Parenthetical Girls: The Scottish Play: Wherein the Group Parenthetical Girls Pay Well-intentioned (if Occasionally Misguided) Tribute To the Works of Ivor Cutler
Parenthetical Girls are a marginal pop group from Portland, Oregon. They have released a handful of records, most notably last year's celebrated and sprawling orchestral pop opus Entanglements—a concept record so lush and beautiful that most people neglected to notice that it was about pedophilia. Their songs have been described as lascivious, unseemly, and grotesque. But their songs are also called lovely.
Over the past several years, Parenthetical Girls have developed a collective obsession with the life and works of Mr. Cutler—so much so that they decided to devote two full sides (an astonishing eleven-and-a-half minutes!) of a ten-inch LP to pay tribute to his gentle genius. Packaged in a silk-screened sleeve designed by renowned illustrator (and fellow Glaswegian) David Shrigley, this extremely limited release (500 total copies!) features Parenthetical adaptations of four songs and four prose poems from across the dense Cutler discography. These sparse, meditative recordings are a far cry from the chamber pop bombast of Parenthetical Girls' recent output, as the group continues to skirt sonic expectations with yet another creative 180. Which means we're back to where we started. As good a place as any for this to end, I suppose.
Niobe: Blackbird's Echo
Blackbird's Echo is the title of the fifth full length album by Cologne, Germany based Niobe, recorded and produced at Studio G by Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu, Home & Garden) in Brooklyn, New York with Aki Onda, Brooklyn, New York acting as guest producer and collaborations with David Grubbs, DJ Olive?

The compact Ixus 310 HS is big on features and creative modes.
By JENNIFER NG
Looking for a compact digital camera that's fuss-free and reliable? Canon recently unveiled three new models for its Ixus range. One of the models that I tested on a recent trip to Bangkok is the Ixus 310 HS.
It's a compact with manual control, stainless steel body, touchscreen interface and HD movie capture. The camera takes impressive photos, is fun and easy to use and has basically all you need in a compact, and it bears Canon's stylish trademark Ixus look and feel.
It also boasts Canon's High Sensitivity (HS) System and Digic 4 imaging processor which allows users to take sharper, better and more stunning photographs even in low lighting conditions.
You'd be surprised to know that the Ixus 310 is actually slightly smaller than the iPhone 4 in terms of width and height. However, it is thicker which makes it a bit bulky.
Still, the camera fits snugly in your hand and does not feel too heavy as it weighs about 185g.
The Ixus 310 stays true to Canon's stylish sleek design but has a little more curve compared to its predecessors, making it more comfortable in your hands. The candy-bar shaped camera is available in three attractive colours - silver, chocolate and pink.
There are only a total of four buttons on the camera. The buttons for Power, Shutter release/zoom and the auto-program mode are located on top. The back of the camera comprises the 3.2in touchscreen and a single playback button.
What I absolutely love about this camera is that it fires up and is ready to shoot in two seconds! In other words, you are able to capture shots almost instantly after pressing the power button.
If you are an advanced user, you will appreciate the control over aperture or shutter speed offered by Av and Tv modes respectively. But if you just want to point and shoot with your compact, the camera comes with an intuitive Smart Auto mode which lets you shoot in all kinds of conditions.
Whenever I encounter difficult shooting situations like low-light conditions, back-light or fast movements and cannot get a good shot, switching to Smart Auto never fails to produce a good image. Canon's Smart Auto can detect up to 32 different scenes and adjust the exposure and focal settings accordingly to the various lighting conditions.
The camera comes with a fast f/2.0 wide aperture and this means that you can achieve the bokeh or shallow depth of field effect on a compact.
As this is my first time using a touchscreen on a camera, I did not know how to switch the camera from still imaging mode to shooting videos. There is no physical button for you to select Image or Video shooting mode. Instead, to shoot a video you press a red movie button on the screen itself. Once you've discovered that, you can shoot 720p HD movies on your compact.
Canon sweetens the deal on this compact by adding its Dynamic IS System, a function previously only available in high-end Powershot cameras to give users enhanced stability. This allows you to shoot video footage while walking.
There is also a function called Super Slow Motion Movie that enables you to record videos in slow motion. Another cool function is called the Movie Digest which enables you to record four seconds of video clip before you capture your pictures.
Creative functions
This ultra-compact also comes with a plethora of shooting modes and creative functions. My favourites are shooting in Super Vivid mode which makes colours in your photo stand out and Poster mode which adds clarity and contrasts to your images.
Another cool effect to try out on the camera would be Colour Accent. Shooting in this mode lets you quickly give photos a dramatic look by converting it into black and white, while your chosen subject remains in colour.It gives your monochrome image a splash of colour and all this is achievable without any post-processing.
This camera also comes with two of Canon's new creative filters - Toy Camera effect and Monochrome, both of which are self-explanatory.
Canon's latest Ixus compact camera does not disappoint. The Ixus 310 HS starts up really fast and makes it easy to shoot pictures even in challenging situations with its Smart Auto mode.
On the whole, there are no major complaints, battery life is sufficient for a day-long shoot and it does not take ages to charge the battery pack.
Pros: Quick start-up time; takes excellent pictures; Smart Auto works very well; plenty of shooting modes and creative functions.
Cons: Touchscreen lags at times; menu not very user-friendly.
IXUS 310 HS (Canon) Compact camera Sensor: 12.1-megapixels Viewfinder: 3.2in touchscreen Shutter Speed: 1 1/1600 sec ISO Range: 100 - 3,200 STORAGE: SD/SDHX/SDXC, MMC/MMCplus/HC MMCplus OTHER FEATURES: Image effects, movie modes, face detection, Smart Auto mode Battery: Rechargeable lithium-ion NB-6L Dimensions: 100.6 x 55.4 x 25.0mm Weight: 185g Price: RM1,199 Rating: 4 Review unit courtesy of Canon Marketing (M) Sdn Bhd, (03) 7844-6000

Travolta considered retiring after son's death
London, Sep 22 (IANS) Actor John Travolta says he thought of retiring after his son died.
The "Grease!" actor and wife Kelly Preston were left devastated when son Jett passed away in 2009. He admits it was only the support from his fans, loved ones and faith in Scientology that prevented him from turning his back on his career.
"I lost my son a few years ago and I had been having quite a time of that," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Travolta as saying.
"And after three years of getting a lot of support from the church and a lot of support from people – fans and family – I decided that it was OK to go back to work. Because I even thought of retiring at one point, because it just felt like too much," he added.

Sorry things have been quiet around here for a bit longer than we intended. KellyAnne and I are both full-time homeschooling moms along with running Humanist Homeschoolers, HHH, and The Thinkers, and as you can probably imagine, our lives get pretty hectic.
We haven't just been planning for the upcoming school year, though. KellyAnne has been chatting with a reporter from Religion News Daily to explain why some of us prefer our homeschooling sans religion. The article was picked up by several other news outlets, including The Washington Post. While the article isn't perfect (I'm fairly certain the yearly revenue of the homeschooling industry is somewhat more than six hundred and fifty dollars, and my last name is NOT Scott, as was originally posted) it's an interesting look at secular homeschooling, along with some lovely pictures of KellyAnne and her beautiful family.
Our Indiegogo campaign has now come to a close, and while we didn't meet our original (and very ambitious) goal, we still managed to raise a very respectable $390, along with the additional $200 from the lovely and generous ladies at Secular Woman. That will allow us to send out a lot of books. Thank you so very much to all of you who opened your hearts and your pocketbooks to allow us to help so many in need.
Our goal now is to begin sorting and shipping materials for the upcoming school year. We've received an incredible amount of donated books, and now we'll begin to match curricula to families. We still have more materials on-hand than requests, so please let us know if there's something you need for your family. And tell your friends!

The 'table will also take the VPI peripheral clamp and can be used with the SDS external power supply, but the star of the show is undoubtedly the Classic tonearm. One benefit of such a straightforward plinth is that it frees up more money for the tonearm, and here you are getting what amounts to a refined and simplified version of the VPI JMW 10.5, complete with detachable armwand assembly and the option of 'on the fly' VTA adjustment if you are prepared to pay $700 for it (and I would be). This versatile uni-pivot design allows precise alignment of the cartridge in all three planes, alignment that's preserved if the armtube is swapped. Stability and azimuth come from a low-slung, weighted collar around the bearing housing and the under-hung counterweight, while a simple falling weight bias system is provided, although I prefer the sound without it. Bear in mind that this might lead to uneven cartridge wear, although as a long time JMW user I've yet to experience this problem. Add in the VTA option and you've basically got a full-blown 10.5 arm in its own right, which on a deck that lists in standard form for less than £2,500 is little short of astonishing.
The deck that arrived for review was the standard model but with the VTA option on the arm and a second armtube to allow quick cartridge swaps. Of course, I've also got the SDS and Peripheral clamp from my TNT, allowing me to ring the changes as far as options are concerned, but I started without any extras, simply using the deck as supplied with the centre record weight and a Lyra Skala mounted in one tonearm and the Dynavector DV-20X in the other.
The first thing that strikes you about the classic is the absolute, rooted stability on which it builds the sound. If you are thinking staid or sluggish as a result you couldn't be more wrong. The firm footing under the music is a perfect launching pad for whatever dynamic fireworks the disc wants to throw at you. Take a listen to 'Paper In Fire' from the John Cougar Melllencamp album Lonesome Jubilee. This was never a great recording but it's most definitely brilliant music. The Classic picks it up by the scruff of the neck and drives this high-tempo track right into the room, giving it a sense of both physical presence and musical purpose that belie the thin and glarey recording. The energy and sheer life are infectious, but not bought at the expense of poor definition or separation. Just listen to the clean, crisp leading edges on the wood blocks, or the natural tonality and separation of the vocals. Sure, the deck can't disguise the glaze that coats the crescendos, but it can dig through it to stop the instruments congealing into a single whole, keeping the band stable in space and the track on course. If this record on this 'table doesn't get you up and dancing then you are probably dead from the neck down.
But it's not just about get up and go. 'Real Life' is also a high tempo number, but its feel is quite different, the urgency tinged with an empty need and desperation. It's a shift that's well within the Classic's expressive compass and the deck makes no bones about what motivates this track, leaving the listener achingly aware of the underlying poignancy that fuels the lyric. In part, that emotive range is down to the sure-footed rhythmic agility of the Classic, a quality that allows it to deliver the drum accents that conclude each chorus and the bridge with real impact and precision. Grin factor? Off the scale and climbing fast!
Switching to something acoustic and arguably a little more delicate leaves the deck completely unfazed. The famous Romero's recording of the Concierto De Aranjuez (Alessandro and the San Antonio S.O.) may lack the astonishing immediacy and spectacular space and transparency of the Argenta/Yepes reading, but it is nevertheless a majestic performance with a wonderfully coherent acoustic spread, orchestral perspective and a solo performance that seamlessly blends fiery passion, poise and delicacy. The rock solid rendition delivered by the Classic helps bring the performance to life, enclosing the listener in the same acoustic space with a sense of real, living, breathing musicians. The sense of focus, of an instrument locked in space and a person playing it is noticeably enhanced by the use of the record weight, or even better the peripheral clamp. Transparency improves as does depth, while the stage boundaries become more apparent and the images more dimensional and solid. Listen to the carefully structured opening of Rodrigo's Second Movement and you quickly realize that the Classic got a full quota of the VPI spatial DNA, the various instruments beautifully located and stepped across the orchestral plane.

Officials, First Nations meeting in Vancouver
OTTAWA - First Nations leaders and representatives of the federal government are meeting today in Vancouver to discuss aboriginal concerns over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and other energy projects in Western Canada.
The meeting was arranged earlier this month to give top bureaucrats from seven federal departments an opportunity to hear First Nations' views on energy and infrastructure projects.
Aboriginal representatives include Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations Summit and Jody Wilson-Raybould of the Assembly of First Nations.
The meeting comes after the Conservative government's point man on First Nations and energy issues in Western Canada reportedly told Prime Minister Stephen Harper that aboriginal negotiations were not going well.
Vancouver lawyer Doug Eyford has been travelling to First Nations communities across Western Canada and will deliver a final report on his findings by the end of November.
The invitation to today's meeting says it is not meant to replace the federal government's legal obligation to consult Aboriginal Peoples about actions that may impact their treaty rights.

If anything, east Menlo needs to be MORE enfranchised, more inclusive. The City is notoriously BAD at disenfranchising Belle Haven. Of course, the residents need to care enough to step forward & participate.
There is NO way that the county will let Menlo annex Belle Haven - they have no good reason to. There are some good things happening there & a lot of good people, but that doesn't make headlines. This is your standard thug on thug crime - a lot of drama, bloodshed & waste - it's awful & disgusting.
Can you imagine: You work hard all week, busy raising your kids, getting your job done, housework, personal business, etc., & instead of relaxing as you deserve, your neighborhood is torn up by violent idiots???

This is clearly a narco-terrorist gang war
Time to bring in the National Guard -who have combat experience from Iraq and AfPak to end of life these local narco-terrorists.
Enough is enough

^ and soon they be opening shops in PA to sell there goods to the many sick PA residents
on Nov 6, 2012 at 7:15 pm
These narco-terrorists, as you well know, deal in methamphetamine, heroin, crack cocaine etc-
-they violate Homeland Security laws-big trouble for you dead enders
If you plan to sell these drugs in PA you will get a big, fast visit from the Department of Homeland Security, the DEA, in addition to the PAPD SWAT team.
Good luck with that-not

Sweet and tangy sugared cranberries make a surprising addition to candy bowls, your favorite apple pie recipe, cheesecake or baked brie.
Hearty wild rice and sweet and tangy cherries star in this deliciously satisfying main-course salad.
This recipe combines the tangy flavor of quick-pickled spinach with ground pork and is served over rice. The original version would use water spinach, but we substituted more widely available baby spinach.
Filling and satisfying, these bars are good food on the go. Keep them in your desk drawer as an alternative to the temptations of the snack machine. Many of the ingredients in these bars are available in the bulk department, making this recipe a smart budget choice...
This deliciously moist roasted turkey is surprising in its ease of preparation. Exactly what you remember from Thanksgiving dinners of old only better.
Though it's equally delicious on its own, try topping squares of this spiced cake with dollops of applesauce or almond butter. As a breakfast cake, it's great served alongside scrambled eggs or tofu with bacon or tempeh sausage.
Here's a healthy soup based on a Mardi Gras favorite in which traditional red kidney beans and Cajun flavors meld with hearty red rice and dark, leafy greens. Don't forget hot sauce for the table!
Smoky almonds and pimenton (Spanish smoked paprika) are a particularly good match for sweet potatoes.
As an alternative to serving this bright, tart condiment with roasted turkey or chicken, stir a spoonful of it into a cup of yogurt or a tall smoothie for breakfast.
An ideal entrée for those who don't want or need to cook an entire turkey but would like the "turkey with stuffing" experience. The preparation, herb butter, and stuffing can be made one day in advance, easing the workload on turkey day.
This vinegar-free dressing is surely good on a salad, and really good on a baked potato or in mashed potatoes.
In Greece, rich, thick yogurt is often used in recipes or served as a treat. Greek yogurt is significantly thicker than the yogurt we are used to in the U.S.
Serve with a bowl of steamed edamame for a finger food that's nutritious and fun.
These tender chicken breasts are topped with a hearty tomato and mushroom based sauce and a heaping side of history.
In this kid-friendly recipe, egg salad can be used instead of hummus, if you like.
The national dessert of Australia is named for the world-famous ballerina Anna Pavlova. A crisp shell of meringue is topped with whipped cream and a refreshing berry salad. Feel free to substitute light ricotta cheese for the whipped cream or fold some plain yogurt...
Tuna and pasta is a classic Italian pairing. This dish is a more sophisticated version of the well-known tuna noodle casserole with added sweetness from raisins, earthiness from toasted walnuts and a little spiciness from red pepper flakes.
This recipe is a flavor sensation with tangy soy ginger sauce and those calcium-filled, dark leafy greens you're always trying to fit into your menu.

Wurtzel, at the book's outset, is prescribed Ritalin for her depression. She quickly becomes addicted, crushing up to 40 pills a day and snorting them, and using other amphetamines and cocaine when her Ritalin supply runs out. In this manner she completes her book Bitch; does her best to alienate her friends, family, agent, and publisher; practices self-mutilation; becomes strangely obsessed with Timothy McVeigh; and finally returns to New York City and crashes. She goes to a country-club rehab in Connecticut; becomes involved with a recovering alcoholic who may be the only person on the face of this earth who is more insane than her; begins using again; gets pregnant, has an abortion, and checks into Smithers where she attains a not-entirely-believable redemption.
It is a difficult read. It leaves conflicting impressions that may take months or years to sort through. For those who can't stand her (and there are many), I guess there isn't much conflict.
I asked a professor of English at the local community college for her take on Elizabeth Wurtzel, and she said she found Wurtzel's writing to be self-indulgent whining. This was echoed in most of the reviews of More, Now, Again, one of which went as far as to suggest that Wurtzel should be locked up for her own protection, and her publishers should stop exploiting this sick and obviously fucked-up young woman. What exactly does Liz Wurtzel even have to complain about? She has her youth and her beauty and her professional success and her financial security. The book jacket attempts to answer this question:
"No success could staunch her continuous battle with depression".
Or, as I answered my professor, "What does Liz Wurtzel have to complain about? She's stuck inside of her own head. Nothing's gonna change that."
The book is something of an ambitious mess. It's kind of like a bad Bob Dylan record--there are these flashes of incredible writing that crop up just often enough to forgive the rest of it. The book's first third is for the most part very well written. It's when she checks into rehab that things begin to deteriorate. It's hard to say why. Perhaps the Liz Wurtzel that her readers want to see is the pill-popping, drug-taking, extremely promiscuous insane girl. The Liz Wurtzel who leaves Smithers and proclaims--
"I start to think that, maybe, God is doing for me what I cannot do for myself. That transformation that I have been waiting for all my life, that moment when I would be me, really me, true to myself and feel all right--it has finally arrived. For the first time ever, when people ask me how I am, I say that I am happy."
--Well, she is not so interesting as the other one. It's the unavoidable contradiction in her writing style. She writes from a complete emotional nakedness and a brutal honesty that most people can never achieve. And, like Dylan going born-again, by the end of this book she trades hard truth for easy answers.
That said, the book has great emotional resonance for some, definitely for me. Anyone who is an addict, or has addicted friends and family, will probably find at least one passage in the book that makes perfect, ridiculously sharp and clear sense. Like Prozac Nation shone a light into the dark corners of serious depression, this book brings to light many of the inner thought processes of addiction.
Some excerpts:
"I crush up my pills and snort them like dust. They are my sugar. They are the sweetness in the days that have none. They drip through me like tupelo honey. Then they are gone. Then I need more. I always need more. For all of my life I have needed more. My pills are methylphenidate hydrochloride, brand name Ritalin, but I will take Dexedrine or any other kind of prescription amphetamine that I can get. I used to swallow them, ten milligrams at a time, every four hours, no more than three times a day, as directed by my physician. Then I took more, and more often. Then one day I cut one in half, trying to extend the supply, and some powder crumbled off of my uneven slice. I could feel my face light up: I might as well have been Columbus, discovering America while looking for India. I snorted it up, as if it were cocaine, and something different happened in my brain, a scratchy rush. Since then, I've been crushing them up like that on purpose. I inhale forty pills a day. That's how I spend my days: I smash up powder and make it go away."
"Pills are my everything. At the end of the day, other people ask themselves: Is this all there is? I don't wait for the answer. I'm not stupid. I don't wait to see if today will be better than yesterday, because I already know. And these pills are deep inside of me. What person could ever get this close? Who would want to? And I swear to you, and I don't care how this sounds, I think it's love. If you don't understand, you don't know what love is."
"I hate to think that the drugs all come down to loneliness, but that would seem to be the case. They are reliable company. I don't need, much less want, people around when I am using. That often means I have to share my stuff with them, and even more often it means that I have to conceal my use from them. I can't stand people's disapproving eyes. I hate the way they look disgusted. And they do, they always do."
"And then we fuck. Over and over again. We fuck and watch tons of pornography. That's what you do on cocaine. I cannot imagine anyone watching porn without coke, and at this point I cannot imagine doing coke without Jenna Jameson and T.T. Boy and Janine and Cheyenne and Ron Jeremy...."
Ah, you get the idea.

On An Overgrown Path |
"But now the salmon-fishers moist -- Andrew Marvel (1621 - 1678) "Generations have trod, have trod, have trod. And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears the man's smudge and bares man's smell: the soil is bare now, nor can foot feel being shod." --Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) On An Overgrown Path is an evocative piano composition by Leo Janacek (1900 - 1912). After hearing it performed by Alain Planès last year, I thought the title was a perfect fit as a description for this project. The shoes take a walk on an imaginary "overgrown path." The path, made of boxes covered in pine needles, sand and salt, is elevated to contain their movement and painted white to provide a focus. The shoes have no specific designations but represent indisciminate lives past and present, a history of travel - its exigencies and the terrain over which many have traversed. Only the vistas in the small ink washes hint at a landscape surrounding the path and in spite of their small scale they suggest a landscape of great space and distance. These ink studies are part of an ongoing project, "The Horizon Series," a group of ink wash drawings depicting a landscape of subtle light and form. After tearing large sheets of paper for that original project I was left with long strips that I decided to use by resizing them to a much smaller scale. |
Working on a small area of paper to suggest a landscape of indeterminate space is also a reaction to the "supersize" quality of some of the work seen in museums and of my own large paintings. As I traveled this summer I did some of these pieces in a cramped hostel room in London, definitely working to scale. I selected the lines of poetry at the top of the page because they connect two different and somewhat opposite aspects of my work with shoes. The humor and theatricality of Andrew Marvel's lines are an improvised adventure into the imagination. The weight and pathos implicit in the words of Gerard Manley Hopkins reflect darker more catastrophic themes. The shoes are in many ways a combination of the two extremes. They, too, incorporate an amalgam of leftovers stumbled over during haphazard journeys to unknown destinations, where pratfalls and accidental failings' exist side by side with disaster and devastation. Distance and Proximity: Ruth Pettus' Shoes and Horizons |
Convictions, directions, opinions, are of less importance than sensible shoes. -- Thomas A. Clark, In Praise of Walking The pleasure of being in crowds is a mysterious expression of sensual job in the multiplication of Number. -- Charles Baudelaire, Intimate Journals We can walk between two places and in so doing establish a link between them, bring them into a warmth of contact, like introducing two friends. -- Thomas A. Clark, In Praise of Walking |
We can walk between two places. We are one and we belong. As much as the inky horizons in Ruth Pettus' landscapes seem desolate, barren and uninhabited, her unruly shoes, even when considered singularly, suggest a teeming world. Pettus' amassment of dilapidated and resuscitated shoes brings to mind communities and individuals, the social and singular natures of human beings. Baudelaire wrote that multitude and solitude are "equal and interchangeable terms for the active and fertile poet," and so they are for Pettus' shoes. The sensual joy found in the multitude is reinforced by the pleasure one takes in the vidual ingenuity of a particular shoe. The ebb and flow between the individual and the crowd, between the singular and the many, make us consider distinctions betweent eh intimate and the vast, between detail and magnitude. In Pettus' collection of enticingly non-functional shoes, the crowd and the individual take on a similar emotional and iconci weight. Each shoe is a distinct visual experience, but the group becomes powerful when individual differences such as chunks of brink and lumps of charcoal, black heft and thin-solded wightlessness, disappear into the engulfing mass of a generous crowd. We can walk between two places. We can move from history to history. Pettus' shoes encapsulate multiple histories and multiple stories. They manifest local characteristics, local customs, local climte, and local fashions while creating new fashions we have yet to imagine. They speak of an auspicious beginning on some pristine pedestal, of a shabby demise and a miraculous (if strange) reconstruction. The history of travel and motion is implicit in their original purpose. These are real shoes that were made in a real place and worn by real people. The shoes became scraps, either found by or bequeathed to the artist. Encrusted with wax and detritus, they shift from practical to improbable, their original functionality derailed by old sticks and rocks and concrete. Who but Flannery O'Connor's Hazel Motes would wear them? We can walk between two places. We shift between imagination and reality. Pettus is an alchemist and a lover of common substances. Her work is a transmutation of materials, from familiar equipment to raw, aesthetic matter, from object to enigma. Her shoes slip from the world of function to the world of appearances. Although Pettus' shoes are removed from their practical origins, the impact of the materials Pettus uses -- wax, sand rocks, rusted metal, dried lemons, and other incongruous substances -- creates an almost unbelievable new reality. Shedding workaday fact for fancy, her shoes are simultaneously ugly, harsh, gentle, capricious, frightening and amusing. They are tied up with twine, cinched and dqueezed by string and laces and hemp, perched upon rocks and bricks, lashed to decaying pieces of wood, bursting with hirsute wires, swathed in canvas, wrapped in netting, given driftwood wings, stuffed with straw and dried plants, expanded, widened, lengthened, crushed, flattened, framed, filled, sheathed, bursting, coated, wrapped, shellacked, bucked and belted in, stuffed, shoved into tin cans, fused to impossible states of being. Their tongues wag and sometimes go missing. They are soulful and soleless. We can walk between two places. We connect through conventions and signs. By juxtaposing her small ink washes and her crowds of shoes, Pettus implicitly asks us to consider the conventions of sculpture and painting and to create bridges between the two. Pettus' love of gesture, sometimes quiet, sometimes rough, is evident in both her two-dimentionsional and three-dimensional work. She is interested in texture, in tone, in clashing juxtapositions, in formal relationships between light and dark, in contrasts between jagged and tender. Her paintings, which for many years have deftly explored the theme and variations of figure and landscape, often seem to have an energetic life of their own. They want to push off of the canvas in textures volutes to engage with the space beyond their surface. Her shoes are similarly gestural, with wiry protrusions and jutting sticks extending the original objects into unforeseen spatial dimensions. In this exhibition, it is particularly interesting to consider this gatehring of markedly singular objects as a cohesive group. All of a sudden, what at first appears to be a collection of individual sculptures can be seen as a form of large-scale painting. Appearing against a pale ground of sand and needle-strewn boxes, the shoes become brush strokes, gestures, mark-making across the canvas of the gallery itself. We can walk between two places. We hover between departure and arrival. In Pettus' installation, traces of movement and elements of suspension coincide. The endless monochromatic rhythm of gentle horizons and the staccato of rough shoes combine to create a third sensation of passage, stirring, migration. As Pettus' shoes spread across and occupy the gallery floor, they pull histories of transit and flux behind them. One can see pilgrims and soldiers, flâneurs and roving mendicants, wanderers and window shoppers. This movement also exists in fortuitous conjunctions of texture and material, by shoe touching shoe, in the viewer's eye movement from horizon to floor. Unified in their individuality, Pettus' shoes grunt, teeter, sashay, and dance across the gallery like the silhouetted immigrants in Carlos Saura's Tango. Nameless, faceless masses moving forward toward the audience, these travelers cross the space in pairs and alone, among friends and with families. Small groups merge with other small groups. Each silhouette is distinct, but the silhouettes move in unison across the gallery stage. The objects on the floor and the objects on teh wall converge. They pause, then stir. The shoes stop toward the horizon. -- Laura Burns Laura Burns is an artist and educator who lives and works in Baltimore. She teaches photography at Goucher College. |

Age UK mobility and fitness tests coming to Cullompton
11:19am Thursday 14th June 2012 in Cullompton
PEOPLE living in Tiverton and Cullompton are being encouraged to have their mobility and fitness tested next week as part of Age UK's Falls Awareness Week, which runs from today until June 22.
The event, which will be held at Cullompton Community Centre in the morning hours and at Cullompton's Hayridge Centre during the afternoon, will include the opportunity to measure your mobility before receiving advice and help on how to make improvements. People in later life and health practitioners from across the region are invited to turn up and find out what they can do to help prevent falls.
Lloyd Yorke of Age UK Tiverton, Cullompton and District, said: "I have witnessed for myself the wonderful work that the team of professionals provide during the Falls Awareness Week.
"It is sad to think that according to results from the ICM Research for Help the Aged in 2008, over 78,000 people are afraid to leave the house because of a fear of falling. We would encourage as many older members of our local community to attend these special events in Cullompton so they can feel more confident and reduce the risk of falls in the future."

Schloss Ambras
The city's biggest stunner is Schloss Ambras . Archduke Ferdinand II acquired the castle in 1564, the year he became ruler of Tyrol, and transformed it from a fortress into a palace. He was the mastermind behind the Spanische Saal (Spanish Hall), a 43m-long banquet hall with a wooden inlaid ceiling and Tyrolean nobles gazing from the walls.

Your website is usually the first impression someone has of your business…. make sure you're happy with what they see
Custom Design or Template Based (CMS)
We focus on creating websites that are effective, and get you noticed. Your website should help you grow as a business, and this is our goal when we work on the design and the development of your site.
Whether you go with a complete custom design, or start with a Content Management System (CMS) Template, depends completely on your needs, and your budget. However, no matter which direction is chosen, the design process remains the same.
The first step in the process is to get an understanding of you, your business and your target market… that the site will be designed for. We will also ask you for any reference material that you have, or may have seen that will help show the style that you like. The style of other sites is always helpful. You may just like the way another site handles it's navigation, or the layout of some pages, or even just a colour or typeface. All these small things help give us some direction.
The simplest way to get started with your online presence… WordPress!
The process starts with a template, that we customise to your requirements. Adding your logo, colours and the necessary pages and navigation.
Contact us for a quotation, or with any questions you may have. It always helpful if you send at least 3 links showing the style of website that you like.

Know Your Rights When CPS Comes Knocking
The intent of this guide is to help domestic violence survivors understand what their rights are in the initial stages of a Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation, and to know what Washington's policy is regarding domestic violence and CPS, especially in the early stages of a case, when things are moving fast and may feel scary and confusing.
Legal Voice has also published this guide on parents' rights; it does not focus on domestic violence specifically, but it does give a very good overview of the dependency process. It makes great companion to WSCADV's guide.

DULCE: Desserts in the Latin-American Tradition
by Joseluis Flores with Laura Zimmerman
April 2010
32 color photos
Contact: Nicki Clendening
Savory Latin-American cuisine is increasingly well-known and popular, yet the sweeter side of this vibrant culinary culture has been overlooked. DULCE is devoted entirely to Latin-American sweets, uncovering a whole new world of exciting flavors. Easy-to-follow recipes span traditional desserts as well as Chef Flores' original creations. Tantalizing recipes like Tres Leches Cake, Avocado Panna Cotta, Coconut Tapioca Pudding and Oatmeal Guava Bars will bring the world of scrumptious Latin-American desserts to your kitchen.
About the Author
Joseluis Flores is the Corporate Executive Pastry Chef of the award-winning restaurants Deseo in Scottsdale and D. Rodriguez Cuba in Miami. Laura Zimmerman Maye is the co-author of The Great Ceviche Book (Ten Speed 2003) and the former Director of Marketing for Fox & Obel, Chicago's premier specialty food retailer.
Sample Recipes
Coconut Tapioca Pudding
Puding de Tapioca con Leche de Coco
Tapioca pearls are made from the root of the yucca or cassava plant, a plant native to South America. I've been eating tapioca pudding since I was a small child in Mexico and to this day it remains one of my very favorites, especially with the addition of coconut milk.
You might have come across tapioca pearls while drinking up the latest craze-bubble tea, in which tapioca pearls are dropped into smoothies and teas and sucked up by adults and kids alike through chubby straws. The pearls work in this pudding for the same reason they work in bubble teas: They provide a pleasing and somewhat addictive texture and chew. You can find tapioca in the baking section of most supermarkets (near gelatin and pudding mixes), but be careful to buy tapioca "pearls" (the larger pearls are best), not instant tapioca. I like the Bascom brand.
This pudding is delicious, comforting, and easy to make. You can eat it after a casual weeknight dinner at home, or you can dress it up and take it out to a dinner party without a second thought. Try serving it in a hollowed-out coconut (Tahitian coconuts work best with their thin shell and tender meat), or simply in pretty glass bowls.
Serves 8 to 10
1 cup (200 g) large or medium tapioca pearls
2 cups (480 mL) whole milk
1 (6-ounce/180 mL) can evaporated milk
3 cups (720 mL) unsweetened coconut milk
1-1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large mixing bowl, cover the tapioca pearls with cold water and soak for at least 8 hours or overnight, until the pearls look slightly translucent and glossy.
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Drain the tapioca very well in a sieve, then stir it into the milk mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the tapioca pearls become clear and glossy, about 10 minutes.
Pour the pudding into a large nonreactive bowl, with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 5 days. Serve cold.
Oatmeal Guava Bars
Barritas de Avena con Guayaba
You'll find the guava paste at most Latin American markets, or in the imported foods section of your local supermarket, but this oatmeal dough can be filled with any thicker fruit paste, marmalade or jam-whatever fits your mood or complements the flavors of the other desserts on your table. Try filling these addictive bars with mango or passion fruit.
The crunch of the cookies works well to balance the creamy consistency and rich coconut flavor of my Coconut Tapioca Pudding. They are pretty cut into long, skinny bars. They are quick to make and hold up well in the freezer (tightly wrapped, they'll keep for up to 1 month)-a great treat to bring along as a last-minute host or hostess gift, to have around the house for a snack, or to toss into a lunch box.
Makes 2 dozen bar cookies
2 cups (455 g) butter, softened
2-3/4 cups (625 g) packed dark brown sugar
3 cups (285 g) rolled oats
3 cups (430 g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (455 g) guava paste
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the oatmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. Continue mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, but is still crumbly, about 5 minutes.
Grease an 11-by-7-inch half sheet and dust with flour, or line the bottom with parchment paper. Press half of the dough firmly and evenly across the baking sheet. In a clean bowl with clean beaters, beat the guava paste on medium speed until light and smooth, about 3 minutes. (If you don't have a hand-held electric mixer or standing mixer, you can use a wooden spoon for this entire preparation; it will just take a little more muscle.)
Spread the guava paste over the dough and, using your fingers to break up the remaining dough, dot the top of the cookies with the dough pieces. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let cool for at least 15 minutes, then cut into bars. The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Something is telling us Feist's social scene is anything but broken. After breaking through in a major way in 2007, the Canadian probably found all sorts of new friends, admirers & one-cell organisms in her mix; perhaps the 4 Grammy noms in 2008 had something to do with that, the spots with Stephen Colbert or maybe the SNL performance in late 2007. There is no danger Feist will ever occupy the pop territory of a Cheryl Crow but there was something just a bit unnecessary about the number of video vignettes that preceded this release (alright this one was kinda cool). Yes there are marketing campaigns/stunts far more egregious, but if the music is strong, they are frivolous and no one remembers them anyway.
The singer's understated (dare we say, odd) sexuality becomes a bit more pronounced when listening to her expressive mezzo-soprano which is again on delightful display here. Hard to imagine a more pitch-perfect tone, that kind of vocal clarity doesn't always compute in the indie-hip leaning world, so we have to call her a singer/songwriter.
Don't expect to uncover the inadvertent power-melodies that made her the darling of the Nano & Verizon Chocolate campaigns. The serene minimalism remains but you won't find a "1234″ or "I Feel It All" on Metals. The closest thing might be lead single "How Come You Never Go There," one of two memorable cuts readily accessible (the other being the rather somber "Get It Wrong, Get It Right").
Feist has found a way to make soothing music for frenetic times, fine if your soul feels 40+ but suddenly a bit one-note in lullaby land. This is not to say Leslie Feist will put you to sleep, her songwriting and structure are far too intricate and those classical scale flourishes demand attention.
There are male echoes on "The Bad In Each Other," frequent collaborator Mocky most likely or perhaps Chilly Gonzalez. All the other ballads seem pretty asexual. Feist has a way of de-tuning the libido in her music while retaining allure, must be a Canadian thing; her space is not of the quick slap-and-tickle you e-pervs, much more enduring emotions at stake.
Nothing will blow you away here but a good listen taken in total. An album sensitive males will proudly have on hand (i.e., to perhaps help close the occasional, ahem, business deal). Even the grisliest grinder can use a dose of girly-girl contemp-folk (on occasion).

danah boyd has written an interesting and controversial essay documenting an observation she has made in recent months that there seems to be a socioeconomic/cultural division between young people using MySpace and Facebook. Privileged kids are gravitating to Facebook; lower-income and otherwise marginalized kids are staying on MySpace. There are a lot of very serious concerns about increasing inequality and decreased social mobility in the US. And if I was looking for domains to worry about it, Facebook and MySpace would be somewhere near dead last.
Like other folks who have commented on danah's essay, I would be watching out for change. The demographics of Facebook changed rapidly when they opened it up. The population is likely to change further with new applications. Maybe developers will add apps to Facebook that have more media and decoration features, so kids who want music and more pictures will be able to have those things on Facebook. Without more research, it's hard to say how much of the relative preferences have to do with overall visual style, vs. features, vs. preferential attachment. Not to mention, sns's are the subject of fashion, like physical clubs. What is considered "cool" will change in different social groups, too.
I don't see an increased concern about the creation of an SNS-based caste system. People group themselves, that is nothing new. A person will go where their friends and perceived peers are. We're talking about MySpace vs. Facebook, so digital divide access issues are factored out. Free social network services have much less built-in stratification than: selective colleges; the ability to pay for higher education or private education; racial profiling in shopping areas and on the street; clothing; transportation; neighborhood safety... any number of factors in the real world that differentiate strongly by income inequality, and are much higher, more persistent, more tightly closed barriers than social groupings on Myspace or Facebook.
One of the reasons that the article was controversial was that danah wrote about her anecdotal observations before going and getting quantitative data. I think it's fine to blog prepublished, unfinished and informal things. I would very much look forward to danah's cut of the analysis based on data. Once source might be the Pew data set which has socioeconomic information. The Pew study doesn't have the psychographic categories that danah is talking about, but they do have household income, education level of parents, race and ethnicity, and age, and might be a place to seek to validate some of the hypothesis.

Greetz! :D

It's honestly not that hard to get in. The only issue is that they usually have applications closed (for everyone), and don't mention it on there website. Contact them and ask them when they will start accepting websites again.
ok, but i think when schools open then i can get. :D
i will create new proxy and advertise on only us groups. :) is this okay
Make a site block all others IP then USA wait for 1 month and WOW you have 100 % traffic from USA, or make a new site and redirect all traffic from USA to the new site and you have traffic from USA.
