Driving Miss Palmen
Soap opera in three episodes, preluded by 'Dogme 2000', a visual introduction to a set of self invented rules to generate new ways of making television. Produced by VPRO television and broadcasted on 5, 12, 17 and 25 march 2001. In collaboration with Lernert Engelberts.
Cast: Mandari Bedi, Lillete Dubey, Yusuf Hussain, Rohit Roy a.o. Indian Director: Shashi Ranjan.
Sequence from episode 2:
Rudi Fuchs introducing Tracey Emin to Georg Baselitz.
Connie Palmen in a telephone conversation with her partner Hans van Mierlo.
Tracey Emin and Georg Baselitz in private.
From large-scale interventions to very simple gestures, Melanchotopia supports a range of artistic practices that go beyond the classical approach to displaying art in public space. Working with the existing dynamics of the city, Witte de With's intention is to bring forward the diverse layers of daily life in Rotterdam, creating a rich framework for subjective encounters. It is an exhibition about the reality of Rotterdam.
Niet-weten als norm
Als Zijlstra praat, dan hoor je de positieve, neoliberale peptalk van Rutte, maar ook de anti-elitaire en antiglobalistische onderbuikpraat van Wilders. Het roer moet niet alleen om, maar de bestaande structuur moet – als doel op zich – schade worden toegebracht. Met andere woorden, schepping en destructie gaan hand in hand – en uit de mond van Zijlstra klinkt dat allemaal verbluffend unisono.
Een voorspoedig 2133!
Wie zich verdiept in de geschiedenis van tijdcapsules vindt genoeg redenen om er geen te maken. De meesten verdwijnen, omdat ze vergaan of omdat ze worden vergeten. Toch zijn we bezig om er een in Rotterdam samen te stellen. Want ook al zijn we tegenwoordig geneigd om alleen met ironische distantie naar tijdcapsules te kijken, ze bieden nog steeds mogelijkheden. Niet zozeer voor onze nazaten, maar voor onszelf.

Me and Krijn Giezen
De niche die hij voor zichzelf creëerde getuigt van een haat/liefde verhouding tot de kunst en dat zie je terug in het werk. Kunst geeft vrijheid, maar ze is ook overgecodeerd. Via een omweg sluit ze de geest evenzogoed weer op, in regels die even kafkaësk en beperkend kunnen zijn als de verregaande arboficatie van de firma Nederland, waar hij als landschapskunstenaar voortdurend mee te maken had.
De Burgers van Seoul
Een betere verbeelding van hoe kunst aan macht en geld gelieerd is – en gecorrumpeerd kan raken – heb ik niet eerder zo gezien. Met de glaswand die me van hen scheidt hebben de Burgers van Calais een nieuwe huid gekregen. Het heeft weinig meer te maken met de gevoelige expressie in de beeldtaal van Rodin, of met de innovatieve kracht waarmee hij de beeldhouwkunst in de moderniteit heeft binnengehaald.
Valéry Proust Museum
Curator Camiel van Winkel has taken German philosopher Th.W. Adorno's 1953 essay 'Valéry Proust Museum' as the point of departure. The exhibition is not a regular group show, but an environment composed of selected works by a range of artists from different periods. Avoiding art historical and thematic selection criteria, the exhibition is based on the idea of the inevitable disappearance of the work of art in the empty spaces of the museum.

De Wilhelminasteen
De geschiedenis van de Wilhelminasteen begint op 30 mei 1891 als de dan 10-jarige Koningin Wilhelmina en Koningin-moeder Emma een bezoek brengen aan Rotterdam. Om de gebeurtenis luister bij te zetten varen er honderden bootjes op de Maas en brengen 3000 schoolkinderen een aubade. De kersverse kleine Koningin zal haar naam verlenen aan de Wilhelminakade en de handeling die daarbij hoort is een steenlegging.
Temporary Stedelijk 2
The Stedelijk Museum proudly announces the gift of 63 artworks from Dutch collector Maurice van Valen. Beginning May 10, 2011, a selection of works will be presented at the Stedelijk Museum during Temporary Stedelijk 2, as part of the ground floor installation. The Van Valen gift is notable for how it complements and builds upon the representation of several artists in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum.
Passie en Ruimte
Geer was in deze klimaatverandering een ideale docent om je tegen af te zetten. Hij was onverzettelijk, op het romantische af. Kwam het lokaal binnen, ging staan als de Balzac van Rodin en poneerde dan iets waarvan vooral de stelligheid me bijbleef. Zijn stijlopvattingen werden niet de mijne, maar het was glashelder waar hij voor stond. Ik studeerde af. Geer bleef als klassiek docent verbonden aan de KABK-nieuwe stijl.
For the last couple of years in a row, artists had been invited who felt at home in a big show environment. This had thrown up a number of lively and playful installations, but this year the budding tradition was in jeopardy: for a variety of reasons there was next to no money for art projects. The only kitty in the budget that might be called upon had been set aside for the printing of the half a million paper napkins that were to be used during the festival.
Destroyed Thinker
In january 2007 two thieves stole a small cast of the Thinker from the Singer Museum in Laren, Holland. Not knowing the value of the sculpture, the thieves started taking the sculpture apart to be melted down. Alarmed by the press attention for their theft, and learning about its estimated value, they burried the sculpture in their garden. A few days later it was found, heavily damaged.

8th Gwangju Biennale
As an artist and writer, Arnoud Holleman's extraordinarily diverse output is connected by a strong thematic concern with the life and significance of images. Often this concern is manifested through acts of appropriation that transform an image's meaning through a shift in context, or a removal of contextual elements. This concern with the lives of images has also led him to create works that explore the historical prohibitions on image making.
Rodin research
From 2005 onwards, I have been focusing on Rodin as a research topic. The main question that I ask myself is in what way Rodin consciously helped shaping the mythical proportions of his own artistic persona. By studying his life and works and by studying the timeframe of the second half of the nineteenth century – in which his work came to existence – I seek to create a context of paralel references as a source of inspiration for nowadays artistic practice.
Of course a river can not be illegal, but that's why the two words are combined. Illegalevecht is based on uncalculated development of ideas and on multiple usage of the river. You can help to define Illegalevecht by sending proposals that in one way or another alter the river and its surrounding landscape. Each year we provide up to 4000 euros to execute plans. If we select your plan, we will give you the money directly in hand, without further bureaucracy.
What happens is that the grit under your feet mixes with the noise in your head. And in the monotony of the constant succession of footsteps, residual thoughts escape like intestinal slugs. Initially this is unpleasant. The physical exertion is a booster, the cadence of your breathing and your footsteps become the haunted baseline under the story of your life, as you recount it to yourself at that moment.
Media Suicide
De 38-jarige Karst T. uit Huissen reed even voor het middaguur in op toeschouwers in een bewuste actie de koninklijke familie te raken. De man raakte zelf ernstig gewond en verkeerde gisteravond in levensgevaar. De man ontweek op de Jachtlaan in Apeldoorn twee afzettingen en reed met zijn zwarte Suzuki Swift in op de menigte. De koninklijke familie zag vanaf een paar meter afstand hoe de man tegen monument De Naald botste.
Questioning History
In visual art and photography there has been growing interest in history over the past few years - and in reflection on the past in particular. This interest relates to historiography, the oral tradition, historical consciousness and collective memory. Visual artists who address these themes find themselves in a highly relevant social context. The exhibition encompasses a diversity of work by 19 distinguished artists.
Staring at the picture of the garden on the postcard I catch a glimpse of my mother in a version of her life that she never lived, one in which Nico had gotten in touch, after that evening out. Perhaps now she'd have a different surname and be sitting by a different fire drinking wine with a different child. In a moment that feels like an oedipal short circuit, I experience something impossible: that I never existed.
Immovably Centred
Everything just chucked away. Subsidy handed back. A total failure. Fine. Well done. I'd like to know when you're not going to be a failure. If you're not. And whether I'm going to witness it in this lifetime. So vain. So weak. So lacking in backbone. I have to keep the whole show on the road while you just sit upstairs crying at your desk, your tears staining what you're only going to scrunch up again any second and toss into the corner. On that laptop of yours.
Aaltje Kraak
In de Marslaan stond een rijtje van vijf jaren zestig-huizen te wachten op de sloop. De bouwnorm was in het centrum tot vierhoog verhoogd dus op die plek voldeden ze niet meer. De grote ramen, die de huizen ooit tot moderne doorzonwoningen hadden gemaakt waren nu dichtgetimmerd. Op het blanke hout van het underlayment stond over de volle lengte van het huizenblok met spuitbus geschreven: Weg met die zooi!
The Return of Religion and Other Myths
The Return of Religion and Other Myths is a large-scale multifaceted project, consisting of the exhibition The Art of Iconoclasm, a discourse program taking place in early 2009 titled On Post-Secularism, and the publication of a BAK Critical Reader on the subject in 2009. The project explores the popular assumption of the return of religion to the public sphere, contemporary politics, and the media in the West as a constitutive "myth."
On ne touche pas
One image is not the same as the other and there are also images that know their place: images that not only form a world in themselves but also refer to a more complex reality beyond themselves. And this is what I would like to focus on in this lecture, with the help of my film Museum, dating from 1998. For me, reflection on earlier works is not meant to dwell in the past. It is meant to stimulate preciseness and to develop internal coherence.
More of the same
Photo column in Amsterdam Weekly, focusing on similarities in the city environment. Based on the '700 centenboek' from 1975, in which Jos Houweling photographed objects throughout the city of Amsterdam in the same manner. The photo column appeared biweekly and was combined with the work of Hans Eijkelboom, whose series focus on similar human behavior or similar dress codes.
Over de filosofie van de verdunning
Als aanzet tot de verwezenlijking van hun ideaal ontmantelde Muller de hiërarchie in de verpleging. In deze anti-autoritaire omgeving stond voorop dat zwakzinnigen en begeleiders elkaar hielpen om 'zichzelf' te zijn. Met zijn oprechte, onaangepaste gedrag kon de zwakzinnige zelfs als positief voorbeeld dienen voor de 'zelfactualisering' waar ieder mens naar diende te streven.
For months after I first stood on that little bridge, I continued to circle around the windmills. Not only with my camera, but also with a microphone. When you look closer, the polder turns out to be an arena of conflicting interests. The cluttering of the landscape stands in opposition to climatological necessity; economic and ecological interests are locking horns for dominance; innovation oriented towards the future has to compete with the appreciation for history.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, earth has disappeared. As we will not be able to crash, we will continue flying until we run out of fuel. Well so do something about it you've been wining about it for years. Well. Halfway. Everything's fine. Stay calm. Come on guys what's the big idea? You know, these days when somebody on the street says 'sorry' it's a junky. You see you don't get it. You're just a character in someone elses plot.
Call me
It's either filthy thoughts or intellectual blah-blah, and nothing in between. Look closer. More closer. Look at me! You hear me?! If there's any reason for me to be ashamed, it's you. The only reason I'm standing in front of the town hall is because I happened to have been 'created' by a world-famous sculptor: Rodin, the genius of deep emotions and existential gestures. Yeah right. The way I'm standing here, Rodin is the only person who's never once laid a finger on me.
Just in Time!
Guest curator Kopsa asked the artists who submitted proposals for 'Just in Time' to define what they regarded as 'necessary'. Just in Time (JIT) is the name of an economic principle, based on producing the right component at the right place at the right moment, in order to prevent waste. Artists manage their time in the opposite manner. They deliberately choose indirection, and are open to mistakes and unexpected tangents.
The Second Commandment
The best way to make the difference between meaning and madness is by saying the things you have to say as precisely as possible, with every means available to you. In that respect, the recontextualisation of older work is one of the strategies that could be investigated in more depth. Sometimes it makes more sense to 're-present' old work than to simply produce for production's sake and prematurely declare the old as passé.
In the drawing, she has her head down because she was reading. She's spent most of her life reading, its her way out of her depression. I remember being quite conscious of drawing her double chin, since she hates it. My mother hates the fact that she's losing her jawbone. I thought, 'No, I've got to scrub it out.' So I drew a shadow there. But these dark areas, the chin and the bags, emphasize her depression more than they show her reading a book.
Re-Magazine's great virtue is its willingness to expose sentiments that seldom find public expression, most often relating to the apparently trivial experiences and memories that make up the larger part of existence. Alongside this editorial idiosyncrasy, it is beautifully designed and photographed, each issue adopting a form to suit its subject - Emily King, Frieze, October 2003.
Food Coma
De inhoud van FOOD COMA wordt twee keer opgediend: een keer als theater, de tweede keer als tijdschrift. Centraal in voorstelling en tijdschrift staat Marcel, een 44-jarige computerdeskundige uit Wavrin, een klein dorpje onder de rook van Lille. Marcel wil en kan het maar over één ding hebben: voedsel. In FOOD COMA heeft Marcel een "monologue intérieur", een manische opeenstapeling van feiten over voedsel die begint waar dieetgoeroe's, chefkoks, boulimie-patiënten, slowfoodactivisten, fruitariërs en andere lekkerbekken ophouden.
Re-Magazine #12 (Hester)
The door slammed behind us and we got locked out. We decided to deal with that later and first take the furniture down to the car. So we got into the lift with the filing cabinet and then the lift stuck. There was hardly anyone in this building, I was maybe one of only five people that had moved in. We were stuck in the lift for three hours and every time we heard a noise we'd bang on the door. Eventually somebody came past and realised we were stuck and went to get help. When we got out of the lift we found out the car had been clamped while we'd been stuck, which meant a penalty of 120 pounds.
Re-Magazine #11 (Marcel)
I forced myself not to spit, but to swallow. The undissolved salt got stuck to the back of my throat and oesophagus. I ended up nearly choking. It was as if I had eaten a mouthful of sand. I then began to drink one glass of water after another, but the salty taste persisted. It was terrible and wonderful at the same time, and in some strange way physically exhausting. I had eaten about 30 grams of salt, only five times the recommended daily allowance. Committing suicide can be very easy: one kilo of salt is all it takes.
Re-Magazine #10 (Claudia)
At times, her intelligence left me speechless and her beauty left me breathless. Her overwhelming height of 1m98 and dazzling charisma makes Claudia a woman who is almost too big for this world. This is a story about Claudia's monumental size, breathtaking beauty, staggering intelligence, mind-blowing success and pure happiness. Claudia has it all and she's ready to share it with you.
I am flying
Event. Airplane with banner, 2003
Captured on 16 mm film, duration 32 seconds.
Camera: Sander Snoep
Me and Larry Clark
Holleman looped the legendary shot of one the protagonists relieving himself after a night of steady drinking, emptying a last can of beer while doing so. After a while the calm splashing becomes reminiscent of a Zen fountain rather than a toilet, forming the audio backdrop to the show. Holleman filmed this fragment with a video camera in a cinema, in an exploration of appropriation, as well as of the status of the original images. (Willem de Rooij in Frieze magazine)
Solipsistic Sky
He ejaculated on the paper, outlining the blobs with watercolour crayon. Once it had all dried, he made everything around these constellations black with pencil. The drawing then became a window looking out towards a cosmos-like world, full of nothingness. This blackening process was a monotonous task, which allowed him to withdraw happily into the right side of the brain, where timelessness rules.
My Dad Playing Piano
The closet in his study kept the usual mix of essential and trivial: drawings from high school, student paraphernalia and tons of paper work from his job as a teacher. In an old shoebox we found a microphone and some old music cassettes. When he had retired, eight years before his death, he had picked up playing the piano again. He had taken lessons again and had studied every day. Sometimes he would make a recording of the pieces that he played, as a reality check.
Re- Magazine #9 (John)
I still remember the moment perfectly, it was summer and I thought, I'll disappear in the autumn. And that's what I did. I hatched my plan in secret. What surprised me was that my decision didn't calm me down. I heard people who commit suicide live in great harmony with themselves and their surroundings during the period between deciding and carrying it out. For as long as I can remember I've felt hustled, and that feeling only grew worse after my decision.
Family and friends
Seven drawings of penises in various forms and sizes. Black pencil on 9" x 11" sheets of paper. First published in Butt magazine # 4, summer 2002 and later in Butt book - adventures in 21st century gay subculture, 2006. Based on dating site profile pics, named 'Dieter', 'Bram', 'Henk', 'Andrew', 'Harry', 'Erik', 'Martin' and 'Edward'. The drawings are framed in individual frames and for sale as a group. Price on request.
Untitled (Staphorst)
In this mediation between being and non-being we can do nothing else than continually behave as camera-genic as possible. See and be seen via the image has become a cultural and existential duty. This primacy of image and visibility however is no universal, natural condition: Islam's interdict on images originally, according to the second commandment, also applied to Christendom.
Me and Madonna
When she comes past I click away hysterically. Not even with the intention of getting her picture but more because I'm in the press enclosure and have to prove that I'm a photographer or so. I'm so busy with the camera and she goes by so fast that I hardly catch a glimpse of her. The print I have made is blurred. Also that night was the first time she showed up with a black hairdo instead of her usual blonde, so nobody recognized her on the photo.
Me and Paolo
Masked newspaper spread. Photo shows Italian soccer player Paolo de Canio, saluting his fans in nazi-style while celebrating the victory for SS Lazio over AS Roma in january 2005. Text at bottom centre: I just wanted to celebrate with my fans. A photographer using a camera that takes 500 frames a minute just caught this moment in the celebration and made it look as if I held my right hand in that position.
I = for Impasse (Re- #4)
I meet a lot of people, both friends and strangers, who are in the middle of their personal acts of expression, but when I hear them talking, and compare their intentions to the final result, I very often think that the process of making is better than the expression of the product itself. I wish I could blame this on their lack of talent, but when I look at the results of my own acts of expression, I get the same feeling that a documentary about the making of that particular act of expression would have been much more interesting.
Dus toen kreeg ik heel erg de wens, als mens maar ook als kunstenaar, om me te bevrijden van al die dingen... om werkelijk iets nieuws in te slaan. Maar dat gaat niet, want je kan het nieuwe niet bedenken op basis van al die ouwe zooi. Dus ik dacht, ik wil daar van af... en toen bleek dat soap ... bleek een deur te zijn naar... zeg maar dat je die ruimte in je hoofd weer werkelijk leeg zou kunnen maken en als een soort potentie zou kunnen gaan vullen... zelf.
Me and Bert
That summer I was into the differences and parallels between drawing and photography. I saw myself as a human camera and tried to copy photos as precisely as possible. I was intrigued by the fact that I had to work for hours or days or weeks on end and would still fail to come anywhere close to what the camera had seen in a split second. One night, after a long day of working with minute precision and concentration, I went out to a bar and ran into Bert.
Inner Child
Ik kan tekenen door te beginnen. Al tekenend vond Clanice een waarheid waarin ze veilig was voor haar stiefvader en halfbroers. Ik besta. Clanice weet zich zoo te draaien dat zij zich het eerste laat naaien. Vrijwel meteen werd Clanice teruggeworpen in haar moeders schoot die het geschop in haar buik opvatte als boodschappen van een jongetje. We gaan naar Zandvoort. Clanice en haar zorgzame moeder maken gewoon lekker rustig een korte wandeling naar de kalme zee.
From the Corner of the Eye
For many artists, sexual orientation is just one of the many significant aspects in their work, but is an aspect which is often ignored in exhibitions and art criticism. From the Corner of the Eye offers an image of contemporary visual arts, seen from a "queer" perspective. In this exhibition, it is hoped that the homosexual gaze will sometimes be emphatically present and at other times will disappear into the background.
Me and Cadinot
Museum (1998) is a re-mastered, projected version of a 1980s video by French gay porn director J. P. Cadinot. After Holleman cut out all the sex scenes, all that is left are young boys in hot pants and uniforms wandering aimlessly through a cheap film set of rooms in a nondescript museum. The eclectic art collection functions merely as a prop, but since there is no apparent action either, it's not clear what the props are for.
Recto / Verso
Interview covergirl Lauren Hutton was photographed by Francesco Scavullo in 1973. She's wearing Galanos - from his exciting fall 1973 collection. Accessorized by Galanos, makeup by Way Bandy, hair by Rick Gilette. The photo was re-photographed by Anuschka Blommers and Niels Schumm in 2003, with model Uta Eichhorn posing as Re-Magazine covergirl Claudia. She's wearing a black dress by Hermès. Styling by Katja Rahlwes, makeup by Renata Mandic.
Wij / We
The definition of the word definition is: 'the description of the essence of something in one or two highly precise and succinctly formulated sentences.' That is by no means easy, and we certainly don't pretend to be able to do so. Nevertheless, there are a lot of characteristics that we find interesting and that we come up against in wondering about what might be typical of the region known as Twente. But those things aren't so much absolute as they are relative.
Life is a Dream Come True
In most of my dreams there are no images or storylines to assign to their nightmarish feeling. They are more about certain dynamics, of shrinking and growing, for example, or being crushed. My body caving in on itself. As a depressed person I live inside my head and there's always a sense that my body is deteriorating and weak. So feelings of weakness and lightheadedness come to me naturally. There's a vacancy in me that is connected to my dreams.
Zoals een ander naar de slijter loopt om zich te bezatten, zo loop ik wel naar het venduehuis of de veiling of naar de antiquair om me visueel te bezatten. Zo zou je het eigenlijk best kunnen noemen ja. Je bezat je d'r an. Het heeft daarbij nog het voordeel dat dat bezatten langer duren kan dan die slok die je naar binnen werkt. Maar wat het verwerven van die dagelijks weerkerende pret betreft kan me dat dan wel eens zo ontzettend bezig houden dat ik er helemaal high van word.
Time Warp
A cinematic report on the processes of growth and change taking place on W.G. Witteveenplein in Rotterdam. Each film begins with the construction of the park in early 2003 and shows the various changes that have taken place so far. The films are supplemented four times a year with new material. This will result in five twelve-minute films in 2023.
De burgemeester had met de mooie stukken uit de collectie van de Van Sytzamastichting zijn kamer ingericht, maar de rest van het cultuurgoed voerde een verloren strijd tegen het dagelijks leven. Stenen beelden stonden zonder sokkel op de gang en werden gebruikt om de deuren open te houden. 18e-eeuwse miniatuurtjes hingen op een paar verloren spijkers naast een groepsfoto van de brandweer.
Tekeningen 1995 - 1997
Met een zweepje onder z'n oksels geklemd 'berijdt' een naakte man een op z'n kop staand paard. Terwijl hij met z'n anus over de paardenlul glijdt, perst een eveneens naakte vrouw zich met moeite in het poepgat van het rijdier. Om haar daad kracht bij te zetten, duwt ze met haar hand tegen een denkbeeldige muur - een muur die tevens de kadrering vormt van het op papier getekende seksspelletje. (Nathalie Faber - Het Parool 3-2-1998)
Me and Susan
I've always thought of photography as something very magical and it is my belief that this is based on a genuine experience: in my early childhood there must have been no sharp distinction between a real thing and its image. In the same way that kids see themselves as inseparable from their mother until the age of three, I thought that object and image were simply two different manifestations of the same energy.
This is a selection of older works, dating roughly from 1990 until now. It's a reservoir of lose ends. Part of my practice is to go back in time, and re-evaluate previous motives and actions. Therefore, a lot of my works have an unfinished, ambiguous nature. Either they have lost their momentum after they were exhibited, or were never shown outside of my studio, or are just waiting for completion in another context.
Auntie Truus and Auntie Mok
With utmost concentration I tried to capture the atmosphere in the photos as closely as possible, but again and again I would screw up somewhere halfway. Either the balance in shading wasn't right, or I couldn't get the expressions right on their faces. When I finally managed to give Auntie Truus the right expression, I reached the point where I had a physical sensation of being on that lawn on Texel again on that day in 1969, asking Auntie Truus and Auntie Mok to pose for me. At that very moment, reality as such was redefined as an object for exhibition.
Unframed drawing
In later years, after being trained as a visual artist, I got interested in the differences and parallels between drawing and photography. When I redrew a photograph of a young boy looking at a horizontal piece of paper, I re-experienced something of that primitive power of the image: the boy and I coincided and somewhere inbetween, reality as such was redefined as an object for exhibition.

When I visited Sedona last year, I went to an outdoor market at the Oak Creek Factory Outlets. There was a man who had a table of sterling silver jewelry. His jewelry did not tend to be Native American. He had some very nice dragonfly charms and pendants. I know this is a shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone might be familiar with him. I would like to purchase a piece of his jewelry. He told me he lived in Arizona, but not Sedona. He is a silversmith., but he had retired from another profession.
I am coming to Homer July 4-July 11 and need to pack in a carry on bag. I am from Boston, MA so I have no idea what to pack, Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Any ideas for teen boys 14 years old in Panama City Beach are welcomed!
I'm coming to Seattle in mid-July and I have never been there but I would just like to find a simple boat tour of the famous Sound. Afternoon/Evening preferred. I don't need luxuries, I just want to be on the water and in a boat small enough to get a good perspective of the terrain. If its possible to get close to any animal/wildlife/bird photo ops, or if there is a stop somewhere for this purpose that would be great too.
do i need to hang up my food if im using a rv
Looking for recommendations for accommodation, restaurants, car hire and things to do which would be suitable for 3 kids under 6 years of age.
We are budget travellers which might be a bit hard in Hawaii but looking for self contained accom which is handy to most things preferably under US$200 / night.
We would like to have a good look around Oahu so car hire our best option i think. Just wondering if it is worth looking for accom on some other part of the island for a few days or keep our sightseeing as day trips?
My wife would love to shop, its high on her list of priorities. Mine is food and eating.
Is there a River Festival this weekend in Tennessee between June 13,2013 and June17,2013
My husband and I are flying in from South Carolina to Spokane renting a car and driving to GNP arriving Friday Sept 6. and will fly out of Spokane home the following Saturday. Right now we have reservations at Glacier Campground in a camper cabin (west Glacier) for the entire stay. My question, should we plan to stay maybe 1 night in East Glacier or is the drive back and forth reasonable? We plan to see as much as possible and try to hike at least some almost every day. Most will probably be shorter hikes and we may try part of Highline Trail but not the whole thing. So I guess I am just not sure about driving back and forth multiple times in a week is doable?? Thanks for any suggestions.

We are going to the visitor center at Grand Coulee this Saturday. What else can we do nearby--and maybe stay the night. we are coming from seattle so we could drive back home, but would like to check out the area. Any suggestions? 3 adults.

Which new features do you want the most?
Is there somewhere to rate tea companies not just the teas? I see you can rate tea places and teas and tea products…but not companies themselves. If I'm going to purchase from X company it would be interesting to know about their history, what city they are based in, really any information that tells me more about their company and what experiences other steepsters have had with them.
Some people use the places tab to rate online tea vendors as well. It isn't just tea houses. Most of the time they will put the name of the company and follow it with online.
Something that show when you have read, or commented on a thread. Like a little icon. Some are over 1000 replies and span years.
Jason, we are all putting ideas and wishes for a long long time here and I am sure you'll consider them all but …is there really another version of Steepster in the (soon) pipeline ? I'd like to know :)
I think it would be helpful to have 'custom lists' that we could either make Top 10s, Swap, Samples, Wishlist, etc.
Hi Jason, It would be great if there was a filter for Organic teas on the Best Teas page: http://steepster.com/teas Thanks!
I think adding a small shout-box on our profile pages would be nice for users to drop in and say "Nice teas!" or something friendly like that. It would be a nice and easy ice breaker to help us meet people on here~.
If you're worried about flaming and such, you could make them user approval based.
One more thing, I think that a little status updater would be kind of nice for little personal updates as long as it has a 150-200 character limit so that we won't be overflowing with long personal statuses on our dashboards.
I think the shout-box is a more realistic idea though.
Let me know what you think if you can. :)
Edit: Also, I think that you guys should add a "Teaware" list and "Teaware" reviews and ratings in their own category.
The ability to easily report spam in the tasting notes and the discussion board. The current method is incredibly cumbersome, even requiring a separate account.
I don't think I've encountered spam in tasting notes. How would you define spam in that context? Personal stuff rather than a tasting notes or something like advertisements?
I've seen companies create profiles and post tasting notes as ads. I've also seen one tea company with about 5 fake profiles that gave tremendously high ratings and reviews to all of their teas.
Here's a funny example:
http://steepster.com/Indianteacompany [don't click the external company link]
Especially funny because they're reviewing LIPTON of all things. Wow.
I don't think they're really even a tea store because if you click the link, it's virus city. So I guess they just picked a popular tea thinking they could compromise the most people.
Here's a new one that gives their tea a 100 rating and then goes on other similar teas and says they are not good and includes a link to their own tea. This kind of marketing doesn't win over buyers, I just don't get it.
Incredibly cumbersome to report spam? Just email jason at steepster.com and let him know about it. I send him links to duplicate company or tea entries whenever I run across them; recently even sent him some graphically obscene tasting note a troll had posted, which was a bizarre surprise on this site. He always responds quickly.
Would be even easier if you're following each other.
We're going to continue to disagree because I still think it is "incredibly cumbersome".
Clicking the 'report anything inappropriate' link on this page sends the user to an external site that requires a separate login. Most sites similar to this (forums, etc.) have an integrated reporting/flagging capability. Sure, users can leave the site, log in to their email, compose an email indicating what the problem is and where it can be found – many steps more than a simple flagging/reporting link and too many steps for most people. Clicking a flag and simply picking why from a list of reasons or typing an explanation like 'spam' is easier than the current alternatives. The reports can also be weighted by the number of people who've done the reporting, so the worst items get cleaned up first.
I am going to follow Jason so I can message him if he follows me back, thank you.
I thought I saw this but option to search tea companies as well as tea types would be nice. Like being able to view what all teas a companies sales and stuff.
If you click on the Teas button up top in the black banner, it'll bring you to the highest rated teas. Over to the right side of the screen there are a bunch of letters representing the first letter in a tea company's name, click on those and you can search for what company you want and there will be a listing of their teas that they have on Steepster there.
I think it would be really helpful to be able to sort tea reviews by date. As tea harvests change by season, it would be nice to sort by most recent review.
Is there already a way to go back and see all the tasting notes that I "liked" or all the ones that another used "liked"? Along the same lines, is it currently possible to see all of my posts in the discussions at a glance? I am still kind of new here and don't know all the features that currently exist.

Catalog #: 7335865
Whether you brew by the cup or the pot, tea lovers will enjoy the subtle nuances and fresh-from-the-farm flavor of full leaf loose American Classic Teas. Our Governor Gray tin contains 2.3 oz. of flavored premium black tea.
Two tin minimum order required. You may mix flavors.
Bigelow Tea reserves the right to remove any comment from the reviews that we feel is inappropriate or offensive.
Reviews are based on a rating of 5 stars to 1 star. 5 stars being the most favorable.
Earl Gray is my favorite black tea and I've tried a lot of different ones. Governor Gray outshines them all. This is my favorite thing to wake up to. I will be ordering this for a long time to come!
My sister brought this tea back after visiting the plantation - now I'm spoiled - I can't drink any other Grey teas without missing Governor grey! I'm ordering more and keeping this on shelf!
We toured the plantation in October and were amazed by all that we saw and learned about tea. The Governor Gray and Charleston Breakfast teas are superlative. Everyone at the plantation, including the owner whom we met, is friendly, outgoing, and instrumental in making this place a must see!
This is the best Earl Grey I have ever had and I've tried many of them. I think the key to this is simply the fact that the tea is so fresh. I will be buying from this place for a long time :)
I can't believe I can finally replace my original tea canister with brand new tea. The best things about Governor Gray are its fresh flavor and knowing that it's home grown. If you like Early Grey, you'll love Governor Gray. Thanks, Bigelow, for taking it out of the sampler and selling it alone!!

99.4% of patients would refer friends and family to us.
Pleasure as always.
My second experience was just as good as the first! It is definitely a relief going to a dentist's office that cares.
I am pleased. Dr. Veal is very profesional.
Great service, no wait! Experienced and friendly staff! I'd been putting off finding someone since my former dentist retired and I'm so glad I finally found them! Wonderful!
Great experience! Everyone very friendly and professional.
Dr. Veal and his staff are outstanding. I've been going to his office for about 5 years now and have had nothing but positive experiences! Renee at the front desk is particularly pleasant and helpful when scheduling your appt!
As always, each member of the VDC Team provided excellent service and was very friendly. That's a great combination! Every member of my family is happy to have VDC as our dentist.
Had a great visit.
Amazing dental care!
I love this place.
Never "fun" having dental work however...
Getting a crown in one visit was much better than two trips.
Was painless!
Much more effecient for busy schedules.
It is always a pleasure to see everyone at your office! What great people work at Veal Dental Care. Always have a laugh while there...great atmosphere. Great cleaning too!

Unusual Gratitude
August 05, 2007, 09:02:00 PM »
Dear all -
This week's tip is a request for you to explore at least ten unusual things you are grateful for in your life - i.e. things that are unlikely to turn up on too many other people's lists...
Here's the list I submitted to the magazine - I look forward to reading all of yours!
I'm grateful for...
[1] ...the fact that Johann Sebastian Bach's uncle was unsuccessful in his attempts to discourage Bach from pursuing a career in music.
[2] ...Archimedes, for running naked through the streets of Greece yelling "Eureka, Eureka, I've found it, I've found it!"
[3] ...Lady Godiva, because fair is fair
[4] ...the big metal cup that the rest of the milk shake comes in.
[5] ...endorphins, without which even gratitude wouldn't feel good
[6] ...buoyancy, which allows us to float and to boat
[7] ...melanin, which converts light to create beautiful shades of dark
[8] ...carbon dioxide, which ensures that even the person you dislike the most is doing some good by feeding the plants each time they exhale
[9] ...gravity, without which none of us would be here (though we might be somewhere equally cool)
[10]...belly buttons - proof if ever it was needed that we are all interdependent
With love,

Now this could be interesting - My first post so bear with me
I would like to show gratitude to the following
1) My partner - for sticking with me through my recent bout of depression when a lot of "friends" ran away.
2) My depression - for forcing me out of a well paid, stressful job that I hated and into a lower paid job that I love.
3) My computer - that seems to have the knack of knowing when I have been working to hard and crashing at the right time
4) My debts - for the realisation that even when the chips are down and companies are threatening me left, right and centre that I am person who deserves respect and not to be treated like dirt.
5) My age - for finally being old enough to appreciate that life is to short for regrets.
6) The wrinkles on my face - at least it's proof that I have lived and have never used a plastic surgeon.
7) Stonehenge - The place where I feel most at peace.
My cats - for teaching me that if I want to keep goldfish I need to put netting on the pond.
9) Cross stitching - which gives so much joy to others when I stitch them a card.
10) Science Fiction - For all the joy it has given me when ever I read or watch something in this genre.

My list:
1. All the people in my life who make me laugh (even those I don't like very much)

4. People who dig working with spreadsheets, tax regs, employee benefit rules, etc. (so I don't have to)
5. People who tell me to my face when they disagree with me

It's so inspiring and fun to read all these posts!! I guess I'm experiencing gratitude for all this displayed gratitude here...
I forgot one!! (Was reminded this morning on my way to the office.)
11. Marcel - the doorman of the Hotel next to my office who imitates my grumpy face every morning and then shouts "You look good AGAIN!" and shakes his head in amazement. He manages everyday to make me enter my office with a smile, no matter how grumpy I was before
Oh, and it occured to me that my number 6 up there might be misunderstood. "Michael" is a guy who used to live in the house opposite mine, when I grew up. We now live in different time zones, but one day...

the wonderful feeling of being completely lost in a book
TV shows that make me laugh out loud

1) My 4 year olds cute grammer like - 'We have bones inside us, thats what makes us live- all days.'
2) The way my dreams incorporate the noises I hear from my surroundings and manages to make them part of the 'dream story' instantly- amazing.
3) When I Fly in dreams (like Superman)
4)Time travel stories
5) Taking the lid of the 'new' coffee jar and wondering which way this time how to break the paper foil stretched over it - mini fun!
6) Smelling the coffee once it's done
7) Liquid skin (instead of plasters) Not really for cuts, but when I was going hammer and tongs on my guitar recently I had some really nasty blisters, a coating of this over them - magic- lasts for hours.
8- My old trainers - I don't have to undo the shoe laces anymore
9) Foot oader eaters
10) My wobbly eye trick - when I look at a wheel spinning or a helicopter blade(rotating) it looks like -just for a split second -like it's still, also the first girl I had a crush on could do the same, we wobbled eyes together - it's also like having a mini super power.

Lots of green traffic lights in a row
Unexpected calls from friends
Spontaneous smiles in the street
Small kindnesses from strangers
Sleeping well
Smell of freshly mown grass
Being reminded of other things I'm grateful for like fresh bed linen when I read what others had posted.......
I look forward to reading more

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your lists - here are some of mine:
1) Challenging conversations and feedback as it presents an opportunity to learn
2) The sunshine on my face as I walk by the river Thames close to where I live
3) The boundless energy and craziness of our neighbour's dog, and her beautiful ears
4) The rain as it helps things grow, and the distinctive smell of the earth afterwards
5) The light, bouncy feeling when I walk so full of energy and life, as it reminds me how privileged I am to have my health
6) Each precious moment spent with my 88 year old grandma and her perspectives on life
7) When people smile and say hello back to me in the street
Laughing so much my face aches with family and friends
9) That I love what my name means (light)
10) For 4 wonderful years with my darling husband, which we celebrate today
With love and blessings, Helena x

I'm unusually grateful for ......
1. The rubber on the end of my pencil - always there when I need it!
2. My dog - old, lame but still chases rabbits in his dreams
3. Porridge - for being the world?s only grey food
4. Thomas Edison for inventing the light bulb - how else would cartoonists show someone having an idea?
5. The fact that bagpipes are largely confined to Scotland
6. Caterpillars - for reminding us how much we can change.
7. Clouds - the sky would get very boring without them
8. The Government - for allowing us all to feel that we could do it better
9. Chaos theory - it helps me justify my life
10. The way that wire coat hangers manage to breed in the wardrobe
Take care,

and it goes a little something like this
1. Showers - like a mini rainstorm and yet incredibly refreshing.
2. My mum's Rhubarb Crumble - what's not to like?
3. Sunny frosty autumn / winter mornings - it's like the world has been cleaned and is new again
4. Garden peas - is there a brighter, happier food on my plate? I mean I love broad beans but they're just not as happy!
5. Catch 22, the book which provides the ultimate get out clause and heck we all need one of those once in a while.
6. Music - not in an Abba "Thank you for the music" style but just how much different songs say / mean to me.
7. A map and my compass - a gift from my dad, it gives me the freedom of the hills, any hills, in fact anywhere.
8. Curry, shame we used an Empire just to nick the recipes!
9. My bi-polarity. Would I have lived my life as such an adventure otherwise? Which leads me on to
10. NLP which has helped me keep on the adventure without the outlandish, ridiculous, manic, dispiriting, energy sapping, will to live losing phases which were my patterns before this.

Oh, I love this posting! Here are some of the things I have unusual gratitude for...
Water hot & cold out of the taps every day!
Clean sheets that have been dried outside in sunshine and a breeze
That first cup of coffee in the morning...
My husband bringing me tea and taking the clothes in from the line without me even asking...
Susan Howatch's books
Kate Bush's Arial
The smell of incense in church
Rita Connolly & Shaun Davey's music..
My 11 year old son putting his arm around me and whispering "calm mum. Breathe in through your nose and out through the mouth" when I'm having a hard time...
Consciousness shifting...the new methodology that I have just learned to help others and which brings me such joy..
yeah, there's lots...

Transgender children experience a disconnect between their sex, which is based on their anatomy, and their gender, which includes behaviors, roles and activities, experts say.
For the general public, transgender identity may be a new concept, though many might recall Chaz Bono, the child of entertainers Sonny and Cher. Born female, Bono underwent a transition in his 40s to become a man. He wrote in his book "Transition" that, even as a child, he had been "aware of a part of me that did not fit."
He appeared last year as a man on "Dancing with the Stars," in part, he said, to destigmatize being transgender.
Comprehensive data and studies about transgender children are rare. International studies have estimated that anywhere from 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 1,000 people are transgender.
Some children as young as age 3 show early signs of gender dysphoria or gender identity disorder, mental health experts who work with transgender children say.
These children are not intersex -- they do not have a physical disorder or malformation of their sexual organs. The gender issue exists in the brain, though experts do not agree on whether it's psychologically or physiologically based.
Many transgender people report feeling discomfort with their gender as early as they can remember.
Gender identity is often confused with sexual orientation. The difference is that "gender identity is who you are, and sexual orientation is who you want to have sex with," said Dr. Johanna Olson, a professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Southern California, who treats transgender children.
Children around age 3 are probably not interested in sexual orientation, she said. But experts say some children who look like they will be transgender in early childhood turn out to be gay, lesbian or bisexual.

CC:iNet has been established at the request of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Their underlying aim is to support Article 6 of the Convention, which calls on governments to promote education, training and public awareness on climate change. The menu items on the left of this page will guide you through the resources available on the clearinghouse.
This toolkit provides access to articles, videos and various other resources that will assist indigenous peoples, local communities, policy makers and other stakeholders in accessing research on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Indigenous societies have elaborated coping strategies to deal with unstable environments, and in some cases, are already actively adapting to early climate change impacts. While the transformations due to climate change are expected to be unprecedented, indigenous knowledge and coping strategies provide a crucial foundation for community-based adaptation measures. The toolkit is available in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.

On August 31, the Sunnyside Fire Department had the ground breaking of their new fire house.
The Fire Department will be located on Washington and Primrose, which will put them in their district.
"Once the engineers come in and make sure everything is ok they will start construction," Sunnyside Fire Chief Victor Rosadilla said.
Currently the Sunnyside Fire Department has 15 volunteer fire men.
The total cost of the fire house will be $345,000; $280,000 is from a USAD loan and $65,000 will be covered funds that the fire department has saved over the years.
"It's exciting because we have been in city limits for so long and now we will be in our actual district," said Tom Schelling, business manager for the Sunnyside Fire Dept.
On the backside of the two lots allocated for the fire house they will build a meeting room, storage room, restroom and the Chief's office, on the front facing Washington, there will be three big bays for the fire trucks.
"I had a choice a fire house or a fire truck," Chief Rosadilla said. "I choose a fire house."

Stay up-to-date
Although Xavier eliminated them in the first round of the NCAA Final Four Championship last year, the Georgia Bulldogs certainly gave the number three seed a hard-fought battle. Coming into the tournament with a .500 record of 17-17, they greatly outplayed their paper stats, only falling short in the closing moments of the match up. But now it's another year and, as of recently, another team. Georgia has entered into a period of rebuilding and of loss. As of early summer, the Bulldogs have lost two of their premiere players: guard Billy Humphrey and small forward Jeremy Jacob. Billy Humphrey, a student with senior standing, was dismissed from the Bulldogs after his third criminal charge within a year. This leaves Georgia without its best three-point and free throw percentage shooter. Jeremy Jacob, on the other hand, has made the decision to transfer to another college, after he was sidelined nearly the entire NCAA season with a foot fracture. With the challenge of filling these two empty roles in their lineup, Georgia must also navigate their way through a rather difficult 2009 season. At least 13 of their 31 regular season games place them opposite a team that ranked in the NCAA tournament last year, with a possibility of more. Georgia will have to contend with 13 of the arguably best teams from last year. If there ever was a time that Georgia needs its sixth man it's now. Allow Vividseats.com, the seventh man, to supply you with the Georgia Bulldogs basketball tickets you need. Be there in the doghouse with your fellow fans, especially in the Bulldogs vs. Gators games. Go to Vividseats.com today!

Barbequing in Buffalo Gap: Volunteer Fire Dept. Holds Annual Fundraiser
By: Homa Bash
Updated: October 7, 2012
Organizers said they started preparing the meat yesterday afternoon and cooked through the night.
But the event wasn't just about food and fun -- the goal is to raise enough money for the volunteer fire department to purchase a thermal imager, a tool that could save many lives in the future..
"These are our first-responders and so many times, when there's a fire or automobile accident or medical emergency, we just need to help them stay maintained and updated with things they need to save our lives here in this community," said Debbie Ake, chairman of the outreach committee.
The money raised will also go toward buying bunker gear and other equipment needed by the volunteer department.

Rees battles family tragedy to earn top Boys' Brigade award
Last updated at 20:17, Thursday, 21 June 2012
An 18-year-old whose father died in a road accident last year has received the top award in the Boys' Brigade.
Rees Fisher, of Redmain, near Cockermouth, was presented with the Queen's Badge in Preston after completing 18 months of work in the 1st Dearham Boys' Brigade.
The Boys' Brigade is the oldest and largest Christian youth organisation in the UK and the Queen's Badge is its highest award.
Rees was assessed on four key areas of volunteering, skills, physical and leadership.
He completed 40 hours volunteer work at the Save the Children charity shop in Cockermouth, he developed his skills on the drums, learned a variety of new sports, and took charge of sessions within the Boys' Brigade.
However, his father Simon Fisher died in a road accident on the A595 at Bolton Low Houses in February 2011, while Rees was trying to complete the work for his badge.
Rees's mum Lorraine, sister Charlotte, girlfriend Gemma Mounsey and company captain Paul Gilmour accompanied him to the awards presentation.
He collected the honour along with 19 other Boys' Brigade members from the north west district.
Rees said: "My dad was really supportive of the Boys' Brigade. Everything we did, every event, he was a big part of it.
"He would have wanted me to finish the award, so I ploughed through it.
"It was an awful time, but within the Boys' Brigade I had a lot of support from everyone.
Rees, who has been in the Boys' Brigade for 13 years, is now on a music course at Carlisle College and is hoping to join the army after he graduates.
He said: "I would definitely say to young people that they should get into the Boys' Brigade. It sets up good standards and morals."
Mr Gilmour said: "His dad would have been a very proud man."

When we asked a group of art aficionados to identify must-see works of art, we expected to hear about pieces in The BMA, The Walters, and other museums and galleries around town. We got that, and a lot more. Our respondents cited deserving masterpieces from Baltimore's bastions of high art, and they also made less obvious choices. You might expect the Cone Collection would get mentioned—which it did—but a stretch of Loch Raven Boulevard, or a SoWeBo barbershop? They made the cut, too, and such inclusions suggest that the definition of art is increasingly elastic. And why shouldn't it be?
Kwame Kwei-Armah knows Baltimore. In fact, he knows it much better than you'd expect a transplanted Brit would. In fact, Kwei-Armah, who's just starting his new gig as Centerstage artistic director, has already forged a deep connection to the city, and that connection is driving his plans for reshaping the theater.
Frank Arthur doesn't just tell stories—he acts them out. Between bites of a Reuben at an Arbutus diner, Arthur recalls creeping past the Pepsi building on a summer night in 1986 with Scrappy G, One Way, and a few other graffiti writers in tow. An assortment of construction equipment and trucks concealed them from cars whizzing past on I-83. The expressway was being widened, and Arthur and his crew had determined that an enormous pile of metal support beams would be their next urban canvas.
"We wrote our butts off," recalls Arthur.
It's too hot, too crowded, the parking is awful, but still we go every year. Because each time we're tempted to skip Artscape, we remember something special that happened at the last one, and we find ourselves heading down to Mount Royal Avenue once again.
Towson University's Fine Arts Building is relatively quiet on a Tuesday afternoon. That is, until you open the door leading to the dance studios on the first floor. Immediately, booming music fills the hallway, ricochets off the cinderblock walls, and gets louder as you approach room 1004, where a few dozen dancers in leotards and shorts pirouette, bend, and leap in time to the rhythm.
While working on a novel in 2007 about survivors of the Iraq War, Baltimore resident Justin Sirois posted a request on an international website for Iraqis to answer his questions about the country's culture.
Questions ranged from "Where do you shop?" to "What kind of pets do you have?" Or, for those who had fled the country, he asked, "Why did you leave?"
Henry Wong came to the United States from Hong Kong to finish school and study medicine, but things didn't go as planned. The lure of Western culture proved too great and pulled him away from his studies. As a result, Hopkins has one less doctor, but Baltimore gained a tireless, though unlikely, cultural advocate, who has quietly transformed the tiny space over his Mt. Vernon CD shop into one of the city's busiest concert venues.
Eliza Bussey has always been around music. She attempted to play the guitar as a little girl and worked at the Metropolitan Opera House as a young woman. But, until recently, she could never read a note.
"I've always watched from the wings, quite literally," Bussey says. "But I felt like I didn't have anything of my own that was something I could do for the rest of my life."
When Baltimore's own Matt Porterfield becomes a big star—and we have no doubt it's going to happen—you want to say that you were with him from the start. So, first check out his wistful and unforgettable debut, Hamilton. (If you haven't seen it already, what are you waiting for?) And next, go see his latest, Putty Hill, which begins its Baltimore run on March 4 at The Charles Theater. After the critical success of Hamilton, Porterfield set his sights on the more ambitious Metal Gods.
John Henry, an artist based in Chattanooga, TN, hopes to erect a sculpture along the waterfront in Westport. The spiky, 236-foot-tall piece would sit on a plaza in Patrick Turner's $1.5 billion development project. "We want the sculpture to be the center of the project," Turner recently told the Public Art Commission. "It does for Baltimore what the Arch does in St. Louis. It would become a symbol of the region." We sat down recently with Henry at Turner's Locust Point offices.

The message was unmistakable: The austerity push that has dominated Europe in the past year will continue even as the economy struggles.
One after another, politicians and central bankers queued up at the World Economic Forum in Davos to warn against the risk of fiscal complacency. They urged European governments to stay the course and continue to cut budget deficits, make economies more competitive and drive closer eurozone integration.
But with the 17-nation currency zone economy set to contract for a second year running, regional leaders are still trying to square the circle of austerity and growth.
The hope is that cheap central bank cash will sustain confidence and activity long enough for reforms to bear fruit in two or three years' time.
Trevor Manuel, South Africa's national planning minister and a former finance minister, was blunt with his criticism.
"It's not going to work," he said. "Deficits are going to continue to grow in the absence of growth," he added, saying Europe needed a change of mindset.
Other observers were also clear about why the region was not growing.
"Europe as a whole is suffering from this austerity program, which is pushing it into recession," billionaire investor George Soros told CNN. "Europe remains in a trap."
A year ago, the euro stood on the brink of collapse as Italy and Spain saw borrowing costs soar to dangerous levels. That risk has passed thanks to the European Central Bank, aggressive fiscal consolidation by indebted governments and steps toward a closer union.
And none of Europe's top officials showed any signs of moderating policies that have brought a return to financial stability, although not growth.
