Whoever despises the penis despises the cunt
Whoever despises the cunt despises the life of the child.
—Muriel Rukeyser
Rapists make better artists.
—Carolyn Donahue/David Salle/Joan Wallace
A woman lies on her back, holding her knees to her stomach. She has no face, she is only a cunt, buttocks, and a foot, toes tensed as if to indicate pain, or sexual excitement, or both. A patterned cloth shape is superimposed over her, and paint-tipped pegs protrude from the wooden picture plane above her. Thus, she is dominated by phallic representations.
This image of woman in David Salle's The Disappearance of the Booming Voice (1984) may be appropriated from mass-media pornography, but more immediately it is based on a photograph taken by Salle himself. Salle has said that "what's compelling about pornography is knowing that someone did it. It's not just seeing what you're presented with but knowing that someone set it up for you to see," and that "the great thing about pornography is that something has been photographed." Salle has even suggested that photography was invented for the enhancement of pornography.
But, cries Robert Pincus-Witten, "clearly your works must be liberated from the false charges of pornography." This sentiment permeates almost all of the vast critical literature on Salle. The issue of pornography is forever raised and laid to rest. But the issue of misogyny is left untouched. Yet, it is the pervasive misogyny of Salle's depiction of woman that is so persistently refuted and excused in favor of a "wider possibility of discussion," for "in literature of twentieth-century art the sexist bias, itself unmentionable, is covered up and approved by the insistence on ... other meanings." Salle's depiction of woman is discussed in terms of the deconstruction of the meaning of imagery, and in terms of art-historical references to chiaroscuro, Leonardo, modernism, postmodernism, poststructuralism, Goya and Jasper Johns, Derrida and Lacan—you name it, anything but the obvious. The explicit misogyny of Salle's images of woman is matched by the implicit misogyny of its acceptance by many critics. This complicity is clearly stated by Pincus-Witten: "We're commodifying the object and we're mythifying the makers.... I've certainly participated in that mechanism because I believe in the mechanism."
The "mechanism" and Pincus-Witten's belief in it are evident in his earliest interviews with Salle, "up close and personal." He visits Salle's studio in 1979 and meets "a dark 26 year old, impatient and perplexing." "The real content of Salle's painting is irony, or paradox, or parody." Flesh into Word (1979), reproduced alongside this text, contains several images of women. The painting is framed on the left by a kneeling nude, seen from behind, near a telephone, and on the right by a headless, upside-down nude. A central, more heavily drawn female contains within her a pleasing, bosomy, sketched-in nude. The central figure is scowling and smoking; a small plane flies into her brain. Thus, the private plane (canvas plane/paintbrush/penis) of the male artist zeros in on the only female in his painting who seems to be trying to think and to question his authority.
Pincus-Witten returns months later, now apparently writing for Harlequin romances. "Complex David Salle—lean of face, tense, dark hair on a sharp cartilaginous profile—the unflinching gaze of the contact-lensed. A cigar-smoker (by way of affectation?) and a just audible William Buckley-like speech pattern." The macho positioning is completed by the specification of locale: "the Salle studio is in that row of buildings in which Stanford White—shot by Harry Thaw—died." Thus, the vicarious glamour of a notorious murder committed over the naked body of a woman is rubbed onto Salle (and perhaps onto his hopeful accomplice, Pincus-Witten).
Pincus-Witten offhandedly describes the left half of Autopsy (1981), Salle's notorious photo of a naked woman sitting, cross-legged, sad and stiff, on a rumpled bed, a dunce cap on her head and smaller ones on her breasts. In Autopsy, the naked woman is juxtaposed with an abstract pattern of blue, black, and white blocks* This type of juxtaposition of representation with abstraction, as well as any juxtaposition of "appropriated" images, seems to be enough to allow for the deflection of scrutiny away from the sexual content to other, apparently more intellectually valid, concerns, specifically "the uncertain status of imagery, the problems of representation that infect every art."
Challenged in public forums to explain the meaning of Autopsy and other like images, Salle has stated tersely that it is about "irony." Indeed, his work is seen by his supporters as an eloquent representation of the nihilistic relativism that can result from an ironic stance and that is one of the hallmarks of current "avant-garde" art.
For Thomas Lawson, who does see Salle's representations of woman as "at best ... cursory and off-hand; at worst they are brutal and disfigured," Salle represents nevertheless one of the hopes for the survival of painting, painting as the "last exit" before the despair of "an age of skepticism" in which "the practice of art is inevitably crippled by suspension of belief."
This school of art accepts and revels in the loss of belief in painting except as a strategic device. The images of painting are representations of representations, not of a suspect "reality." Belief in any meaning for an image in this age of reproduction is dismissed as naive.
However, if all images are equivalent, as indicated by the constant juxtaposition of female nudes with abstract marks, bits of furniture, and characters from Disney cartoons in Salle's work, then why are male nudes not given equivalent treatment, not just drawn occasionally from the back, but literally drawn and quartered as female nudes are? If images have been rendered essentially meaningless from endless repetition in the mass media, what is the motivation for the one choice that Salle clearly has made, which is to mistreat only the female nude? Salle does not mistreat the male nude; therefore, he is sensitive to the meaning of some imagery.
Much is made by critics of the refusal of the paintings to render their meaning. Lawson writes that the "obscurity of the work is its source of strength." "Meaning is intimated, but finally withheld." Donald Kuspit writes of a "strangely dry coitus of visual clichés." In withholding their meaning, the paintings are like Woman, the mysterious Other. In withholding his meaning, the artist is an impotent sadist.
The source of this anger is to be found in the intertwined associations among painting, woman, meaning, and death, which form the core of Salle's work. These are clearly expressed in his 1979 manifesto, "The Paintings Are Dead": "The Paintings are dead in the sense that to intuit the meaning of something incompletely, but with an idea of what it might mean or involve to know completely, is a kind of premonition. The paintings in their opacity, signal an ultimate clarification. Death is 'tragic' because it closes off possibilities of further meaning; art is similarly tragic because it prefigures itself an ended event of meaning. The paintings do this by appearing to participate in meaninglessness." For "the Paintings" and "art" one can read "woman," who can only seem to be "known," then returns to the self-enclosed "opacity" of her sex. The meaning "intuited" is that, in the words of Simone de Beauvoir, "to have been conceived and then born an infant is the curse that hangs over [man's] destiny, the impurity that contaminates his being. And, too, it is the announcement of his death." The opacity of the Mother, the calm enclosure of the promise of his own death seems to incite man to fantasies of the rape of woman, and of art.
It is significant that the illustration to Salle's manifesto is an installation shot of the dunce cap pictures. It is also significant that in response to the seemingly obvious offensive nature of this image (Autopsy), Kuspit writes that "to put dunce caps on the breasts as well as the head of a woman, and to paint her with a mechanically rendered pattern ... is to stimulate, not critically provoke—to muse, not reveal." This brings to mind Cane (1983), in which a woman, hung upside down in one of the traditional poses of Christian martyrdom, is impaled by a real rubber-tipped cane resting in a glass of water on a ledge. The cane represents the phallus of the artist, as well as being an art-historical notation, as the painting and the woman are screwed; as befits a "strangely dry coitus" she may die of peritonitis but she won't get pregnant.
Salle uses woman as a metaphor for death; woman has become a vehicle for the difficulty of painting. Painting, with the potential sensuality implicit in its medium, has become a metaphor for woman, and, also, a vehicle for the subjugation of woman/death. In Face in the Column (1983) a naked woman is pressed down by a hand that cannot be her own, by a slice of orange, and by a black band of shadow that straps her down to the ground or bed. A drawing of a woman sitting on a toilet is superimposed so that her ass is directly over the larger woman's face, a further reminder of her disgusting physicality. A white profile of Abraham Lincoln acts as a representative representation of honest male activity distanced from the physical functions of woman, for, to quote Salle, "the ass is the opposite end of the person, so to speak, the most ignoble part of the person and the face is the most noble, the site of all the specificity." As the butt of the ironist, woman is "trapped and submerged in time and matter, blind, contingent, limited and unfree."
Carter Ratcliff comes close to grappling with Salle's treatment of women, admitting that "to glamorize cruelty is the pornographer's tactic." But "Salle's images of nude women" are "not exactly pornographic. He brings some of his nudes to the verge of gynecological objectivity." Perhaps Ratcliff means veterinary gynecology, because I have only seen dogs take poses remotely as contorted as the one a naked woman is forced into in a 1983 Salle watercolor: flat on her back, her thighs spread apart, her legs up. Footless, armless, helpless, she serves as the base for a set table in a pleasantly appointed room. In Midday (1984) a woman is on the floor of a similarly decorated room. Flat on her back, legs up, she holds up her hands as if to help her focus on, or protect herself from, the actively painted face of a man floating above her.
For Ratcliff, Salle is "like a self-conscious pornographer, one capable of embarrassment." A repentant rapist then, who can be excused from culpability. However, Ratcliff continues, "to see his paintings is to empathize with his intentions, which is to deploy images in configurations that permit them to be possessed." It is crucial to emphasize that this form of possession implies a male spectator and is condoned by the male art critic. Linda Nochlin writes that "certain conventions of eroticism are so deeply engrained that one scarcely bothers to think of them: one is that the very term 'erotic art' is understood to imply 'erotic for men.'" The hierarchy of erotic art is clear: "the male image is one of power, possession, and domination, the female one of submission, passivity, and availability." Carol Duncan stresses the violence with which "the male confronts the female nude as an adversary whose independent existence as a physical or a spiritual being must be assimilated to male needs, converted to abstractions, enfeebled, or destroyed."
Salle's reduction "of woman to so much animal flesh, a headless body" seems, in part, to be a response to the radical avant-garde feminism that he was exposed to while a student at the California Institute of the Arts in the early seventies. The Feminist Art Program at CalArts, created and led by Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro, which I was part of, aimed at channeling reconsidered personal experiences into subject matter for art. Personal content, often of a sexual nature, found its way into figuration. Analyses and quotes (i.e., "appropriation") of mass-media representations of woman influenced artwork. "Layering"—a technique favored by Salle—was a buzzword of radical feminist art and discourse, as a basic metaphor for female sexuality. The Feminist Art Program received national attention and was the subject of excitement, envy, and curiosity at CalArts. Even students, male and female, who were hostile to the program, could not ignore its existence or remain unchallenged by its aims.
The history of this period at CalArts has been blurred, for instance in the curating of the CalArts Ten Year Alumni Show (1981), which excluded most women and any of the former Feminist Art Program students. In Craig Owens' review of that show, he mourned the resurgence of painting by artists nurtured in the supposed post-studio Eden of CalArts. His point may be well taken on the nature of the sellout by certain artists, but he does not probe beneath the given composition of the show to see that the Feminist Art Program, excluded from the retrospective, was truly radical and subversive in daring to question male hegemony of art and art history, whereas post-studio work at CalArts often simply continued an affectless commentary on art history.
Salle's lack of belief in the meaning of imagery is in striking and significant contrast to much work by women artists. From Paula Modersohn-Becker, Florine Stettheimer, and Frida Kahlo to Eva Hesse, Louise Bourgeois, Nancy Spero, and countless other artists working today, women artists have shown a vitality that shuns strategy and stylistics in order to honestly depict the image of the core of their being. A comparison of two artists' statements speaks to this difference in belief, and, parenthetically, of motivation:
I am interested in solving an unknown factor of art, an unknown factor of life. It can't be divorced as an idea or composition or form. I don't believe art can be based on that.... In fact my idea now is to counteract everything I've ever learnt or ever been taught about those things—to find something inevitable that is my life, my thoughts, my feelings.—Eva Hesse
I am interested in infiltration, usurpation, beating people at their own game (meaning scheme). I am interested in making people suffer, not through some external plague, but simply because of who they are (how they know).—David Salle
Salle's abuse of the female nude is a political strategy that feeds on the backlash against feminism increasingly evident in the national political atmosphere. The current rise of the right in this country puts issues pertaining to female organs and women's freedom or loss of choice at the top of the right's list of priorities. It is not surprising that in such an atmosphere Salle's theater of mastery of humiliated female Fleisch (the title of a Salle painting) is so acceptable despite its bad-boy shock value.
Just as the black leather trappings of the Nazi SS have become trivially eroticized, so too it is possible for some critics to openly succumb to the cult of the artist as magical misogynist. Michael Krüger describes a day spent with Salle in the snow-covered Alps: from a patio, the two consider the "breathtaking scenery" before them, as they drink "a dry Swiss wine from inexhaustible bottles," and Salle smokes "one of those excessively long cigars which cause one to wonder whether they can ever be brought to a successful conclusion." Salle draws an imaginary picture on the view, and then, apparently, a real one in the snow.
And then he did something that left me completely perplexed. I had always assumed that a painter begins his picture in one corner, for example, top left, if he is right-handed, bottom right, if he is left-handed. But, without removing the cigar from his mouth, David concentrated his attention on the center, where he placed the gigantic figure of a woman, naked, her thighs spread wide apart. And he did all this in such a convincing matter-of-factness that the obsceneness of the gesture with which he had drawn so quickly in the snow only struck me as my view, still dazzled by the sunlight, slowly began to penetrate and rapidly melt.... The most obvious explanation that occurred to me was that David was using a symbolic action to liberate the instrumentalized body from the constraints of economy, to return it to nature. So there was this splendid body before us, several hundred meters across, and there were the skiers, their tiny bodies wrapped in the most incredible disguises, registering naked shock.... The route back down the valley obligated them to desecrate this naked figure.

Cheers from the other side! (Kiwis are great!)
I've arrived!
Is that enough to say? Would you believe it's raining here too? I thought I just moved to summer. Ok, it's a warm rain. I don't mind at all. There is still light out and it's nearing 9pm. That's a summer sign.
The trip here was mostly uneventful. I had a lovely stop with Uncle Brian and Andrew in LA. Then survived the mass confusion of LAX. Air Pacific was a sweet airline. The guy at check in just weighed my bag and quickly pulled it off the scale when it was 2.5 Kg over... no fees. The flight crew was equally great. I managed at least 8 hours of sleep on the plane, helped by the fact that we sat on the runway for 2 hours in LAX due to rain. I thought I was leaving the rain in Oregon.
Fiji was hot and humid. They had a band playing while we waited to go through security clearance. Thank goodness, since they only had ONE lane and about 500 people. Luckily I was in line with a Kiwi couple - in their 20's who chatted and wrote in my journal a list of things to see in Auckland and around.
After a very simple customs clearance and shuttle ride, I checked into my hotel. It's set up to be more like a home away from home. With a large communal kitchen, fridges in the rooms, etc. I think I prefer hostels. They're more friendly and knowledgeable about the stuff I want to do. But I did make myself at home- there's clothes strewn all over the room now. (Had to find some lost items in the monster duffle bags.)
After creating a giant mess of my hotel room, I took a shower and headed out to walk around town. Auckland's quite manageable. Nice folks. I found out about Vodafone and wandered into a large grocery store. They were broadcasting helpful messages like, "Don't eat too much candy, it's low in nutritional value and high in calories" and "Even 30 minutes a day of exercise makes a difference." A little helpful non-subliminal messages in the grocery store. Makes you think twice about buying piles of candy.
I wandered down to Parnell, a very old section of Auckland, where I heard they had free wifi. I found it. In STARBUCKS. Sorry. I cannot believe I went in there. But there was a girl in the window with her computer, so I figured I would take a shot. I met a lovely barista named Kiki, who later gave me her cell to text if I wanted. And a German girl named Carolin who is here on a work visa also. I take back anything mean I've ever said about Starbucks. It's already made me 2 friends.
So far, I feel normal. It's fun just learning new things every day.

Auntie Verdle, being a dietitian, likes the idea of health broadcasting in the grocery! Find me a job there and I will come.
Sounds like so far things have gone smoothly. Our love flew with you on that long ride with those heavy bags. Looking forwarding to hearing about new chance encounters. We are waiting for the snow to arrive.

modern twist
Inspired by a Japanese anemone box (which is traditionally used to hold family heirlooms), the handmade PJ Pocket is a contemporary home accessory with a purpose. From afar it looks like a simple pillow, but a closer look and a twist of the lid reveals your secret stash. The minimalist printed squirrel pattern is delightful. For children it's the perfect hiding place for PJ's, blankets, a stuffed animal or pacifier and can be found at fawn & forest. I say forget about the children what about me this is awesome.

Baby's room is filled with simple, beautiful pieces like the carved wood crib, toe-tickling shag rug and for storage, a large basket with handles and a lid. Pastel shapes make a pretty gallery wall.
A crisp, white bed is topped with hot pink throw pillows to create sharp color contrast to the gray walls of this bedroom. A large, vintage mirror adds a fun, eclectic substitute for a headboard.
A patterned area rug compliments the hexagonal shape of the floor tile on this covered patio. A cozy gray sectional faces the home creating the feel of an outdoor living room. Striped pillows decorate the couch and compliment the neutral and gray tones used in the design. A simple, sharp coffee table fills the rug space to finish the room.
A turquoise lamp adds beautiful color to this simple and stylish country bedroom design. Attention to decorative details like a striped throw pillow and black and white photograph add personality to the room without cluttering the space. The wooden nightstand and black metal bed frame look beautiful against the soft, neutral walls.
A white wall sets a clean background for the colorful furniture in this living room. A green sofa with white zig zig pattern is decorated with striped black and white pillows and a long decorative pillow in the center. A pair of upholstered coffee tables feature a bright blue hue with fun, floral design. The versatile pieces also work as extra seating and ottomans.
A cream throw blanket with coral stripes is a perfect color compliment to the deep turquoise and coral duvet cover in the background of this dorm room bed close up. Tied ends with a fringe finish add a touch of texture.
This small backyard takes full advantage of space with a swimming pool, seating areas and beautiful landscape details. Gray tile surrounds the L-shaped swimming pool and matching steps lead down to a tile concrete walkway. The walkway passes a row of gray cushioned seats with striped throw pillows to add cushion and color.
Keep in mind that your furnishings should be in proportion not only to the actual size of the space but also to the perceived size — which can be affected by such elements as paint color or extensive areas of glass. In this project, the latter came into play. "The floor-to-ceiling windows make this small space feel larger, and to keep that open feeling the furniture needed to be scaled appropriately," says architect Leslie Arnold. "Choosing furniture that was open at the bottom — i.e. pieces that do not go all the way to the floor — 'enlarges' the room by allowing the entire floor to be visually unbroken. The simple, solid colored upholstered furniture allows the brightly colored rug and wall art to be the main focus of the room."
An oversized, plush chair makes a strong statement with brown and white stripped upholstered chair, nailhead trim and a floral throw pillow. The mirrored side table and clear floor lamp make this a unique, cozy transitional style seating area.
In a small outdoor space, an outdoor rug can play multiple roles, creating a seating "island" as it does here, adding color and style, and making the area appear larger thanks to the introduction of an overall pattern. Designer Annastasia Mitchell chose this rug carefully for its seafoam blue color, which repeats the apartment's interior color palette, "providing a sense of visual flow," she says, and to repeat the horizontal pattern of the louvered windows.
Built in shelving creates a frame perfectly suited to surround this cozy pastel blue sofa. Coral floral throw pillows add a pop of accent color and compliment the brighter tones used in the painting mounted above. A striped ottoman doubles as a coffee table to finish the space.
Geometric pillows, striped throws and a cactus-shaped end table (yes, a cactus) make this front porch well worth a visit.
In this adorable girl's room, the accents are what add color and life: striped throws, a sheepskin rug, a leather pouf.
This cozy sunken courtyard has a sitting area with brown outdoor furniture topped with white cushions and striped throw pillows surrounded by lush greenery.
A taupe, microfiber chaise looks comfortable and inviting with a green striped throw and pillow. The bold artwork serves as a conversation piece and pop of color.
Playing with patterns and textures can liven up any space, as seen in this eclectic living room with plaid drapes, zebra-print rug and striped throw pillows.
A plush rug adorns the tile floor in this neutral living room. The gray couch is decorated with black and white striped throw pillows. Marble surrounds the fireplace.
Pale wood accents and colorful accessories give the family room a decidedly contemporary feel. An oversized sectional outfitted with throw pillows and a striped throw create a cozy spot for movie nights.

MEDINA — When Noelle Wiedemer and Kim Keil opened their downtown art gallery last fall, they anticipated the monthly gallery shows would help to draw interest in arts classes.
Nine months in, the classes are leading the growth of the Wide Angle Art Gallery, which is expanding this summer to fill an adjoining second-floor studio space above Vision 2000 and Sunburst Tanning.
The expansion will be completed within the next month as the gallery prepares for Wild About Paper, a summer arts camp.
The camp will start Aug. 1 and be led by Clifford Wise Intermediate/Middle School teacher Judy Light, with a mix of hands-on activities and art history.
The Main Street studio, open Wednesdays to Sundays, currently hosts regular classes ranging from basic drawing, photography, oil painting and ceramics. A monthly "Cocktails and Canvases" program and the weekly "Making Marks!" program for toddlers and parents are also mixed into the hectic schedule.
"We've been surprised that the classes grew so quickly," Wiedemer said Tuesday. "We thought it would be the other way around … it's amazing how busy it's been."
The additional 700-square-feet of space will allow Wiedemer and Keil to shift their offices, and the area inhabited by large and friendly poodles Morty and Millie; while doubling the room for classes, some of which overlap. The studio's kilns are already in the basement to create more space.
The extra rooms will allow for 25 to 30 additional people in the studios depending on the project while retaining the downstairs gallery.
Wide Angle rotates its gallery shows monthly, featuring a mix of styles, mediums and artists — many putting on their first solo exhibition.
Ve MacKay's "Thresholds of Loss: A Journey of Grief and Other Assorted Art Works" — a series of portraits depicting scenes around rural doorways — runs through June 27. Tom Zangerle, who teaches a oil painting class at the gallery, will debut "Landscapes by Tom Zangerle (Someone's Backyard)" July 11.
Pottery and sculpture have also been featured, with Parker Sillaway Pascua's May exhibition "Mary, Mary" featuring shrines of the Virgin Mary.
"As long as you can get it in the door," said Wiedemer, who added they hope to add music, poetry and lecture series in the near future.
The gallery has also drawn the attention of the Genesee-Orleans Council on the Arts. GO ART! Executive Director Heather Grant toured the gallery and future studio Tuesday, and said the arts council may look to bring a satellite office and galleries to Wide Angle.
GO ART! sees the space as a way to reach Orleans County artists and as a host for interactive programs and shows that the agency could help fund.
"It's a fantastic idea," Wiedemer said. "We want to encompass all the arts. I would love someone to do a whole installation downstairs, interactive art."
For now, the Wiedemer and Keil are content to grow their studios and bring their artists to the public in the gallery and in a planned demonstration, retail and mobile gallery at the Canal Village Farmers Market opening next month in Medina.

The Wildlands Conservancy yesterday completed the sale of 1,902 acres in Lebanon and Schuylkill counties to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, according to Charles Nehf Sr., chairman of the conservancy's Land Trust Fund.
The conservancy purchased the land last year so it could sell it to the Game Commission for use by the public. The purchase brings to 6,400 the number of acres the trust fund, an arm of the conservancy, has preserved since it began cooperating in 1982 with the Game Commission to buy land.

Abbott Fights to Keep Leadership in Snap Australian BallotBy
Ex-Cabinet minister Malcolm Turnbull challenges for top job
Abbott says he expects to win leadership battle Monday night
Prime Minister Tony Abbott is fighting to save his job after Cabinet colleague Malcolm Turnbull challenged him for the leadership -- triggering a snap vote that may see Australia get its sixth prime minister in eight years.
Turnbull said Abbott had failed to provide the "economic leadership" that Australia needs during his two years as prime minister. Abbott said he offered stability and was confident he'd defeat Turnbull in the ballot of Liberal Party lawmakers later Monday.
"The prime ministership of this country is not a prize or a plaything to be demanded," Abbott told reporters some two hours after Turnbull stepped down as communications minister and announced his challenge. "It should be something which is earned by a vote of the Australian people."
Abbott, 57, has struggled to resurrect the conservative government's popularity amid slowing growth and a stalled economic agenda, and only narrowly survived a leadership challenge in February. Polls show that Turnbull, 60, is about three times more popular with voters -- an edge that will prove crucial if the governing coalition is to come from behind and beat the opposition Labor party in elections due by the end of 2016.
'Game Over'
"This could well be game over for Abbott," said Paul Williams, a political analyst at Brisbane's Griffith University. "Turnbull wouldn't call a challenge half-cocked. He would have already counted the numbers and would be confident he's got enough to win."
Government ministers including Treasurer Joe Hockey and Defense Minister Kevin Andrews took to the airwaves in support of Abbott, whose popularity evaporated after the government announced surprise spending cuts to health and education in its first budget last year. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop will be Turnbull's running mate in the ballot and stand as deputy leader, Sky News reported.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index, the country's benchmark equities gauge, which closed before Turnbull launched his challenge, gained 0.5 percent to 5,096.50. The Australian dollar was little changed after the announcement at 70.82 U.S. cents.
"A clear decision this week is a positive, either way," George Boubouras, Melbourne-based chief investment officer at Contango Asset Management Ltd., which oversees about A$900 million ($637 million), said by phone. "It's all about business confidence."
Take Action
Turnbull, who led the Liberals in opposition for 15 months before he was ousted by Abbott by one vote in December 2009, said Monday colleagues and ordinary Australians had urged him to take action.
"Ultimately the prime minister has not been capable of providing the economic leadership our nation needs," Turnbull told reporters in Canberra. "He has not been capable of providing the economic confidence that business needs."
The country needs "a different style of leadership," he said. "A style of leadership that respects the people's intelligence, that explains these complex issues and then sets out the course of action we believe we should take, and makes a case for it. We need advocacy, not slogans."
Economic Reforms
Abbott's Liberal-National coalition government has trailed Labor in opinion polls for months, as the economy experiences its weakest run of growth since the recession in the early 1990s. Business leaders are critical of the government's lack of resolve to overhaul an outdated tax system and labor market -- reforms seen as essential to boost growth as the post mining-investment boom economy struggles to fire up.
A Newspoll published in The Australian newspaper Sept. 7 put support for the government at 46 percent against the opposition's 54 percent. The survey showed 41 percent of voters prefer Labor leader Bill Shorten as prime minister, against Abbott on 37 percent.
While Abbott was a successful opposition leader and helped tear down two Labor leaders with his attacks on government policy, that combative style hasn't helped him as prime minister.
Unflagged spending cuts in his first budget in May 2014 angered voters, while his decision to bestow a knighthood on Queen Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip in January was ridiculed and exacerbated a perception that he's out of touch with public opinion.
The leadership turmoil is reminiscent of the Labor government, which saw first term Prime Minister Kevin Rudd ousted by his deputy Julia Gillard in a party room coup -- only to claw his way back to the top job weeks before the September 2013 election.
"We cannot, we must not, become a carbon copy of the Labor party," Hockey told reporters Monday. "We cannot and must not make the same mistakes that were made in the Rudd and Gillard years."
While many Liberal lawmakers view Turnbull as their best chance of re-election in national polls due by the end of next year, he is disliked by conservative colleagues put off by his support for same-sex marriage and fears he will bring back carbon pricing.

One year after being acquitted of selling drugs in Cayuga County, a Rochester man is suing county and city officials in Auburn.
In September 2016, Tyrone Tyreek "Tyke" Matthews was convicted of three misdemeanors after a jury found he possessed small quantities of cocaine and heroin in Cayuga County. However, the jury also found the defendant not guilty of five felonies: two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Now, attorney Jarrod Smith has filed a complaint in federal court on behalf of Matthews, suing the county, the city of Auburn, the Auburn Police Department, the Cayuga County Sheriff's Department, the District Attorney's Office, District Attorney Jon Budelmann and Chief Assistant District Attorney Christopher Valdina. He claims the defendants violated his Fourth, Fifth, 13th and 14th Amendment rights.
Budelmann said the charges and prosecution against Matthews were warranted, noting that Matthews had previously been convicted of selling drugs four times in the past and that there was strong evidence against him in this case.
"As prosecutors we have absolute prosecutorial immunity for performing our jobs for just this reason, to protect us from such frivolous lawsuits," he wrote in an email to The Citizen.
In a complaint filed Friday with the U.S. District Court, Matthews is seeking unspecified money damages for conspiracy, malicious prosecution, false arrest, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He also argues that race was a factor in the case, saying Matthews — an African American — was "placed illegally into the involuntary servitude of the defendants."
"Defendants willfully and wantonly and/or negligently caused the Plaintiff's physical injuries, pain and suffering, emotional psychological harm and suffering, and the deprivation of Plaintiff's constitutional rights," the complaint states.
On Sept. 30, 2015, Matthews was arrested and charged with several counts of possessing and selling a controlled substance. He was arraigned on two sealed indictments and remanded to Cayuga County Jail until his trial in September 2016.
According to the complaint, Matthews was a "drug addict and was nothing more than an agent of a drug dealer." As such, he says the defendants had no probable cause to arrest him and accuses the city and county of negligence, stating the police officers and sheriff's deputies were not adequately screened, supervised or trained in his case.
In addition, Matthews says the district attorney's office intentionally withheld evidence at grand jury and conspired to maliciously prosecute him as a dealer.
At trial, Matthews' defense attorney Simon Moody used the so-called "agency defense," which states that a person is not guilty of selling or possessing a controlled substance with the intent to sell if he was acting as an agent of the buyer, or a person whose purpose is to purchase or acquire drugs for another individual. Moody argued that Matthews possessed cocaine on two occasions, but it was not his intent to sell it.
Budelmann, however, said that Matthews was captured on video selling drugs, and an informant gave police statements and grand jury testimony that she bought cocaine from Matthews.
"Matthews' recorded jail calls and emails prove, that with the help of friends and fellow inmates, he 'got to' this confidential informant," Budelmann wrote. "They convinced her to go into hiding and not testify at his trial. ... That informant, who had been cooperating with the police, suddenly quit her job and went into hiding until after Matthews trial was over."
Former Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Domachowski initially prosecuted the case; however, he was terminated from his position at the DA's office before Matthews' trial began. Both Matthews and Domachowski have alleged that Budelmann and Chief Assistant District Attorney Christopher Valdina prevented Domachowski from presenting the agency defense at grand jury, which would have exonerated Matthews of the felony charges.
Budelmann has denied such accusations, saying it was Domachowski who conspired with local defense attorneys via "unethical, secret emails" to get drug cases like Matthews' dismissed.
"I suspect those parties who were secretly working with Domachowski to get drug cases dismissed are pushing defendants to file frivolous lawsuits against the police department and district attorney's office, wasting taxpayer dollars, in order to deflect from their own unethical conduct," Budelmann said.
Ultimately in 2016, a Cayuga County jury convicted Matthews of three misdemeanors for possessing small quantities of cocaine. He was sentenced to two years in Cayuga County Jail.
"Any incarceration imposed by the court was based upon (Matthews') criminal convictions," Budelmann said. "Judge (Thomas) Leone already ruled that there was no evidence withheld in this case. After I read my sentencing comments, Judge Leone also told Matthews in open court that he got off easy."
Auburn Police Chief Shawn Butler, Cayuga County Sheriff David Gould and Auburn City Manager Jeff Dygert each declined comment on the case, citing "pending litigation."

I'm back from the hiatus. I've been busy the past few days going somewhere else, accomplishing some things and reading a new book! :)
Speaking of the book,it's entitled Live What You Love. I got it on sale. From around 400 pesos, the book was sold for 75.00, really BIG savings right? Upon seeing the title, I already thought I'd like it, well, partly, I was wrong because as I turn the pages, I'm loving it. I haven't finished reading it yet, but as of now, I could already tell you that it was not like any ordinary inspirational book. The book contains real life stories of the authors. It would also allow you to REFLECT. From the title itself, it's all about doing what you love; pursuing your dream amidst every endeavor. There's no other fulfilling thing than following what your heart desires :)
I hope you all know what you love. LIVE WITH IT.

Zero Hour playlist for 6/3/09: C-A-D-I-L-L-A-C
Since we're all part-owners of General Motors now, I figure I should be getting a Cadillac any day. In recognition of my fine new ride, I played nothing but Cadillac songs for the first hour.

Where does one go to see dinosaurs, drink alcohol, and dance at a silent disco? Jurassic Lounge of course! At the Australian Museum every Tuesday night (until 19th April) they open up their doors at night, and let adults only in. There are live bands, DJs, reptiles, competitions, a tattoo artist and a magician plus you are free to roam around the museum without any security guards telling you off!
I'd seen this event on a couple of other blogs, and when Gaffa's friend from the UK suggested we go as well, I was excited as I hadn't been to the museum since those good old primary school excursion days. Tickets are $15 and include entry and a free drink. They can be purchased online here or at the door. Doors open at 5.30pm and the event finishes at 9.30pm.
While we were walking along College St. to meet Gaffa's friend, Curtains; Gaffa got pooped on... not just a little plop, but a big splat! Lucky it was directly on his bare forearm and not on the camera bag or on me, haha. When we saw Curtains, the first words to her were, "Hi! don't hug me." After entering the museum and finding a toilet to clean himself up, Gaffa was back to his cheery self enjoying a glass of red, while Curtains and I had pink moscato.
After roaming around the skeletons and minerals section for a while, we stumbled into Angus the Bearded Dragon. He became friendly with Gaffa, and I got this awesome photo with the DSLR camera. (it was on auto mode though, so I'm not pro yet).
|Gaffa's new friend Angus
Next we went off to find this infamous silent disco that we'd read and heard about. At first it was weird seeing people dancing to the sound of nothing, but when you put the headphones on, you're transformed into a ragging dance nightclub! Woot woot! Just check out the photos below, to see the crazy shenanigans you can get up to in a silent disco at the museum with glow sticks!! =D (and having your camera set on bulb mode)
A trip to the museum is not complete without a photo with a dinosaur or such the like. I don't know what this was called, but we were all happy to pose with it. Smile! Cheese! (And a photo of a dude and his pet dog, for good humour).
Our tummy's were rumbling and my feet were hurting. (Thank God for Flipsters that I bought a few weeks ago, my feet were saved) So we decided to find the exit and head for dinner. Before we left we saw the tattoo artist who was doing live tattoos. I think he was finishing off the 2 grenades on a guy's shoulder blades...
Just as we were about to leave, we were stopped by the magician doing card tricks, by the name of Illusionist G. He asked Gaffa to pick a card and write his name on it, so you could easily notice it. He then stuck the card in the middle of the pile and magically made it appear on the top of the pile and another time, in his mouth. WOW. He was also able to pick the card out of the deck when all the cards were turned over. He then made a bend in Gaffa's card and put it in the middle of the deck. You could still see the bend, and then after a tap and woosh of his magic hands it magically appeared on top or the pile of cards, still bent. Pretty awesome. It still baffles me how he did this!
Another trick he did was with these red foamey balls. He had 2 and placed them in one of Curtains' hand. He then made 3 appear in her hand. And then made the balls disappear after putting them in her hand again, and he magically had them in his hand. And then one ball appeared in his pocket....It was easier to see how he did this set of tricks, since the balls were easily squished up and he could hide them in his hand while he closed Curtains' hand. I don't mean to sound like a party pooper and spoil his magic tricks, but it annoys me when I don't know how they're done! (that's my analytical side coming out!)
So, if you haven't had a chance to have a night out at the museum, you better be quick as there's only 2 more nights left - 12th April and 19th April. It's a fun experience for the over 18's.
Happy Friday peoples! What are your plans for the weekend?

Keywords are words or phrases that people use to search in search engines. If I type Heritage Apples into Google, Heritage Apples are my keywords for the search. And Google will come back with about 5.5 million search results for my query. If Heritage Apples was my niche, I would have a lot of competition!
If a person's search uses the same keywords that are in your post, your site will show up in their search results. This is a key part of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Avoid grammatically incorrect keywords. Typos are random, and not very many people will actually be searching for "how to to find heritage apples", so while your competition is small your traffic may be non-existent.
Some keywords are highly competitive while others get very little interest. This is why we go looking for the "low hanging fruit" long tail keywords which use our keyword with other words that are less competitive, but still relevant to our theme. Less competitive keywords will still bring searchers to our site. Because there are so many variations on each theme (niche), we can be sure that some people will be searching for the keywords that we have used.
Ideally, we want visitors who are interested in what we are talking about. And Google wants to direct interested visitors to sites where they will get the information that they are searching for. With some well written content, these two things will come together.
How to find keywords
There are plenty of keyword tools on the internet; some are free and some are paid and some are free to try before you pay. Your cheapest keyword tool is GOOGLE because it is free, always. It may be helpful for you to keep all of your keyword research in a spreadsheet, including traffic and competition for that word or words. The only issue with not using a keyword tool is that Google will not give you the traffic or competition numbers.
Type a keyword or words into a Google search bar; Google will automatically try to predict what you are searching for. This prediction can yield some nice directions for your theme to go in. For example, when I type in Heritage Apples and then put a space after "apples", Google will try to guess what I will type next. Some of the Googles guesses that I got are: "Ontario", and "nz" as well as "of Ireland". Look at that! You now have 3 new subjects for posts: Ontario, New Zealand and Ireland.
There is also the "Alphabet Soup" technique. Type in your keyword, a space, and then the letter "a", checking to see what Google is guessing for your search. Still using the heritage apple them, for "a", I got: "Australia" and "a new sensation". Not sure what a new sensation is (turns out it is a book), but if your theme is heritage apples, this could mean a whole new area to search. Keep doing this but substituting the "a" for the rest of the letters of the alphabet.
You can get some excellent ideas on subjects for your theme this way. And don't forget to just type in your keyword or long tail keyword and see what the search results are. If you can tell which sites are affiliates, you may not have much competition, but you will want to know if you are competing against authority sites (the big players).
How to use keywords effectively
Regardless of whether your keyword is one word or a phrase, it is important not to overdo it when placing them into your posts. It should always look natural, so just keep your keyword in mind while you write.
You want a keyword in the title of your post, as well as the first paragraph, and the conclusion. This first paragraph is an excellent place to put a long tail keyword. Try to keep most of the long tail keyword intact in a sentence if you can. If your long tail keyword is not proper English, you will have to adapt it, choosing the most key part. Then go ahead and write the rest of your post. Keywords can also be placed into the tags for your media, but this only works of the media is relevant to the post.
It is also fine to add keywords to your meta description. In some website themes, you can edit the meta description yourself and write anything meaningful to help visitors decide to choose your site. Do not use the keyword more than once in your description.
I hope that I have given you some useful information about keywords and what they do for your posts. Also see my post on writing interesting content here. Please leave comments or questions in the comment box below.
About keyword tools
Many keyword tools are try-before-you-buy. Be aware when shopping for a keyword tool, of any limits on the number of keywords that you can search monthly. Look for keywords that have high search volume and low competition.
Jaaxy has a 30-keyword search free trial, and then two different tiers depending on what your needs are. I have used Jaaxy, and it is pretty impressive and has a lot of useful statistics, like traffic, and competition for your keyword. It also has a "Keyword Quality Indicator" which lets you know about the competition using stop light colors; red, yellow and green for great! Click here for a free trial.
Wordstream has a 10 keyword search trial and then you can search once a day after that.
There is also Wordtracker, which has a 7 day trial and is $27/ month after.
Open two windows on your computer and try out the same keyword or long tail keyword in both of your free tools and see if you get the same results. Ultimately, you are looking for keywords with traffic above 100 and a QSR/Competition of under 100. Traffic above 100 means that people are actively visiting sites using these keywords. Competition means the relative number of sites using this keyword in its title or description.

|OpenID support in JSPWiki?
|Tue, 17 Jun 2008 10:44:18 GMT
Hi all, A few months ago at a conference a proponent of OpenID made a presentation about the state of the project. Afterwards I talked with him about the possibilities of getting OpenID support into JSPWiki. He mentioned that he'd talked with Janne last year sometime and that it would definitely be a win-win for everyone. I'm trying to follow up to see if anyone knows of any existing work being done in this area. We're interested in pursuing this and *may* be able to contribute developer time and/or funding -- though I myself am in no position to make an actual offer (only suggest it might be possible, as I'm not in control of a budget). We're looking at various AAA alternatives for single sign-on, and there's various other agencies as well trying to figure out what direction to take, so this goes well beyond wikis. We're also looking into alternatives such as Shibboleth (SAML), etc. References: JSPWIKI-94 New Feature (from Janne) http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-jspwiki-dev/200712.mbox/%3C12145556.1196892224922.JavaMail.jira@brutus%3E message from Harry Metske (Jan 08) http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-jspwiki-dev/200801.mbox/%3C17193300.1199193223830.JavaMail.jira@brutus%3E OpenID-LDAP (i.e., LDAP backend) http://www.openid-ldap.org/ Using OpenID (article) http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=OpenID OpenID4Java (Google Code) http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/ OpenID (Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID [OpenID] Webapp OpenID Login Filter (defunct) http://marc.info/?l=openid-general&m=120370812118744&w=2 OpenID prototype using JSPWiki (defunct) http://openiddirectory.com/wolf-s-436.html Regarding those last two posts, I've sent a message off to email@example.com (Jack) to see if there's any reply.
