Now don't get me wrong, fall is always a beautiful time of the year. Some showcase super-brilliant foliage. Others are, well, more drab, with less splash and panache. I would have to personally rank this fall as being a little less spectacular on the scale of falls I've experienced.

Quirks are like endearing little friends that, as with any friend, you have an occasional spat with. Such thinking may be quirky in itself, though I do believe, quirks put the color in character. They are comforting, charming, amusing (though sometimes terribly annoying), and even beautiful as art is (think "My Funny Valentine" by Chet Baker). Oh where would we be, who would we be, without our own personal set of quirks?
In fact, I am quite bothered by people who pretend they are perfectly normal. I know they must have quirks and a weird-side, like any other. They're just hiding it, and I don't appreciate it. If they perhaps truly have come to believe that they don't have any quirks, and are not in the least bit odd, then I suppose not very well interested in knowing them.
Anyway, this commentary on quirks, was inspired when I was tagged, by the lovely Raspberry, with what I refer to as the "Quirks" tag, (though it is really unknown facts, as well). I am a little hesitant to participate in tags when they require me to talk directly about myself (I imagine I'll bore my dear readers), versus speaking of ideas, thoughts, and dicussing various other topics. Nonetheless, I've made an exception. Here are 6 quirks/little known facts about me:
1. I dream most of unicorns and wild horses.
2. If I could be any fairytale character, I would want to be Rapunzel, just to have her hair.
3. I have multiple identities. I'm prone to reinvent myself, and can very well loose myself in self-created persona's.
4. I have to sit on the end of a row of chairs. I am terribly bothered when sitting (though not standing or moving) completely surrounded and in the middle of people. Heaven forbid, the middle chair of the middle row. In school I always sat at the end of a row, as well as, at the desk closest to the door.
5. I talk to myself, often in a British or New Zealand accent.
6. I am slightly insane, and I don't mind that I've lost my mind.
Now here are the rules for this tag, and those who I have tagged:
Rules: 1. Link who tagged you; 2. Post the rules; 3. List six quirky or little known facts about yourself; 4. Tag six fellow bloggers.
3. Leese Looks
4. Loveology
5. I'm Not Anti-Social, Just Short-Sighted
6. Stompface
7. Anyone, and everyone else, please do comment and share with me 6 quirks or unknown facts about yourself. And/or simply rant about quirks, such as quirks of other's that you find either endearing or terribly bothersome!

Any surprise lineup additions coming?
Posted 16 May 2012 - 11:10 AM
No she won't be playing as we buried her in February...I hate mean people...go away
Sorry about your Mom.
It's hard losing a parent.
Anyway,...............................I'm hoping for an announcement soon myself! One in April last year so do we have one coming soon? Fingers crossed~
Posted 01 June 2012 - 02:15 PM
I too think the lineup is perfect, but Ken was quoted by Billboard in this article that came out same day of lineup release "Hays says he's working on locking in a few more acts he hopes to announce soon." Haha, I got my hopes up for an even more perfect lineup. I attend GOTV regardless of lineup, but this year's lineup was made for me. We all know how long "soon" can be around here, but I doubt we get any more additions at this point considering we are now less than 50 days away. If I remember correctly, last year they added Max Creek, Donna Jean, and That1Guy few weeks before Vibes. Maybe we will get some of those kinds of bonuses. Pretty excited for the Vibes.
Posted 01 June 2012 - 04:00 PM
Has the Green Stage acts been announced?
Friday Green Vibes artists include: Kung Fu, Dangermuffin & Yarn, David Gans and Twiddle.
Saturday Green Vibes artists include: Dopapod, Mates of State, Outernational, and Band Together.
Green Vibes artists include: Toubab Krewe, ALO, McLovins, Joe Pug, and Andy Music Man.
We are at 37 or so bands.artists and I believe past few years there have been about 40 bands so I can't imagine too much more being announced.
Posted 01 June 2012 - 08:58 PM
on the main Vibes page.. click on tickets... then when you get to the option for single day tickets... they have a few acts listed for each of those days
And after the bands, on each day, it says "and more to be announced"~
(not that I'm not happy with the line-up now)
Just sayin'

This is my tenth yeart at GOTV and I have yet to see a line-up addition. It is what it is and I tjhink it is pretty good this year. Looking forward to hearing Branford with Bobby and Bruce.
Last year, the initial line-up was on 3/14 with additions on 4/8
In 2010, initial line-up announced 3/23 with additions on 4/28
In 2009 it was 3/10 and 4/4
In 2008 it was 3/9 and 4/16
In 2007 it was 4/4 and 5/9
Gotta' love that Gmail!

Crete Attractions Kríti
Area of island: 8,331 sq.km/3,217 sq. miChief town: IráklionApproaching Khaniá, Cape Spátha (on its northern tip, remains of a shrine of the nymph Diktynna) is seen on the right, the peninsula of Akrotíri (ancient Kyamon) on the left.
Mt Ida & Mt Psiloritis
The ascent of Mount Ida (Mt Psilorítis, 2,456m/8,058ft) is a rewarding but strenuous climb (warm clothing and supply of food essential, guide advisable). The starting-point is either Kamáres (with the cave in which the polychrome pottery of the Middle Minoan period known as Kamáres ware was found), from which it is about nine hours' climb to the summit, or the village of Anóyia (eight hours). On the north flank of Mount Ida, at a height of 1,280m/4,200ft, is the Idéon Ántron, a Minoan cult cave.
Highlights: |
Mt Psilorítis - Idaian Cave
20km south of Anogia on the upland plain of Nidas, on Mt Psolorítis, lies the sacred Idaian cave. According to mythology, it was here where Rhea hid the baby Zeus from the murderous Kronos.Cult objects have been found here, along with statues and bronze shields and other finds now on display in the Herakleion Archeological Museum.
Highlights: |
Lasithi Plain
30-40km/20-25mi west of Áyios Nikólaos is the fertile karstic plateau of Lasíthi (alt. 850m/2,790ft), with the 12,000 windmills (now increasingly going out of use) which irrigate the plain and have earned it the name of the Valley of Windmills.
The small seaside village of Petrás was founded on the ruins of a Minoan city. The settlement is dated to between 2600-2300 B.C., with habitation continuing through to 1450 B.C.
Dictaean Stalactitic Cave, Psykhro
On the southwestern edge of the plateau of the Lasíthi plain, at the village of Psykhró, is the stalactitic Dictaean Cave (Diktaíon Ántron) in which Zeus was believed to have been born.
Highlights: |
Sitia, Greece
Sitía (ancient Eteia) is a picturesquely situated little port in eastern Crete, dominated by a Venetian fort. The town, which was destroyed by an earthquake and bombarded by a Turkish fleet commanded by Khaireddin Barbarossa in 1538, is mainly modern; it has a good beach.It was the home of Vintzentinos Kornaros (d. 1677), author of an epic romance, the "Erotokritos", which is still popular. There is an attractive promenade along the harbor (restaurants).In Arkadion Street (parallel to the harbor) is an interesting folk museum.
Archaeological Museum
The Sitía Archaeological Museum contains Minoan-era finds from Sitía, Zakros, Petra and Palekastro. The collection includes statues, vessels, jars, and tablets.
Excursions from Sitía
Ayía Fotiá
Five km/3mi east of Sitía, at Ayía Fotiá, can be seen a Minoan necropolis.
23km/14mi east of Sitía is the Minoan site of Palaíkastro.The site includes remains of a port settlement.
Vai Bay
Around the beautiful sandy bay of Vái, with the modest village of that name, is the only palm- grove on Crete.
Three km/2mi north of Vái, at Ermoúpolis, are the remains of Minoan Itanos.The ruins are of a big Greek-Roman city.
Praisos, Greece
Some 15km/9 mi south of Sitía is Praisós, with a Minoan villa and a Hellenistic cemetery.
Kato Zakros, Greece
Some 37km/23mi off the southwest coast of Crete lies the wooded island of Gávdos, Europe's most southerly point. This is thought to be the island of Ogygia, home of Calypso, with whom Odysseus stayed for seven years ("Odyssey", Book 7).
Assi Ghonia - Feast Day of St George
The feast day of St George is celebrated with a religious fiesta, followed by a sheep shearing competition. Other old customs are also performed by the local shepherds.
Anogia, Greece
Anogia is a mountain village 53km southeast of Rethymnon. The village is famous for its woven cloth.

Primula forrestii
March 22, 2011, 05:05:07 PM »
I live in the wet Pacific Northwest and am able to grow Primula forrestii from seed with little effort. The bad news is that I can't seem to find the right conditions for getting my seedlings through the winter. My experience is that this primula is not reliably hardy so it needs some cover over winter. It gets botrytis from too much wet but doesn't like drying out either. I've heard that folks in California can grow P. forrestii like a weed. Anyone have suggestions on how to manage it in my environment?
Thank you.

Claire, is the botrytis the primary cause for the seedling's demise over winter? I might imagine that the prevalence of large slugs in the area to also play a factor in seedling loss, as the slugs like primula... as I mentioned once before, I lived in Bellevue WA for 4 years back in the 1980s. When I gardened there, I had good luck growing plants that needed some moisture, but were sensitive to too much moisture and atmospheric dampness during winter months, by covering planting beds with a layer of sand... mature plants will eventually tap down past the sand an into a moist humus rich soil that a Primula might like, but the sand layer provided the necessary drainage around crowns of plants and certainly beneficial for small young seedlings.

Thanks for the hint about sand. No, slugs don't get the plants and the botrytis isn't the main cause of loss. The plants were in a deep planter. Rotting seems to be the worst culprit with drought right there behind it. A top dressing of sand might mitigate both factors and help me find the right balance. Or the humidity in the air may just be too much for this species in my climate.

I asked a number of people about Primula forrestii while I was in Nottingham for the International Alpine Conference. The consensus was that P. forrestii is not hardy outdoors in my area. One hint that might prove useful is to withhold water in the spring until there are signs of active growth. Even though I moved my plants indoors to keep them from the cold, I no doubt did them in by watering too soon!

Hello Claire, based on Flora of China, P. forrestii is from "open mountain forests, in limestone rock crevices; 3000--3200 m. N and W Yunnan", I would think that this species should be hardy, just a matter of finding out what it needs. And no criticism intended towards our friends and expert plant growers on the other side of the pond, they have vast experience growing plants in pots and bringing unimaginably fantastic specimens to show, but maybe have less experience growing them outdoors, due both to their climate and the premium for land (most house lots in the UK are very small compared to American standards). So, I'm not sure hardiness suggestions in this context are applicable; I would be tempted to try the plant in a variety of situations to possibly find a spot that works.

The following comments are taken from John Richards'
Primula forrestii
(pp. 147-148):
- "Locally abundant in a variety of
limestone habitats ranging from grassy plateaux to rock ledges"; NB. Italics added for emphasis - this may corroborate the implied suggestion that excess water at the wrong time of the year (see below) may very well be the lethal factor, not cold. (On the point of cold hardiness, it is said that it may occur up to 4500m!)
- "at flowering time in May, the habitat and the plant are dust-dry, and have received little precipitation for 8 months, although within weeks they will be deluged in a torrential and cease-less monsoon"; hmmm, tough plant! Sounds like one I need to try!
- also very interesting: "... may be very long-lived"; there is a reference to the same plant being seen by Halda in 1992 as was photographed by Forrest 80 years before, and then likely seen again by the author in 1995!

I grew a few from seed last year...they were overwintered in our coldhouse...dropped to -16 C but the plants were kepp (unintentionally) dry. All except one dried up too much and died. One was pretty shivelled but about 2 weeks ago I resumed watering. It has now plumped up and it putting on some growth. Seems the dry period in winter is needed but once the temps rise above freezing, they need immediate water...looks like it will be challenging.

Sandy is thought to have slowed U.S. hiring in November
WASHINGTON (AP) — Superstorm Sandy is widely thought to have slowed U.S. job growth last month. The only question is how much — an answer that's expected to emerge Friday in the government's jobs report for November.
Yet once the storm's impact is cleared away, the report may reveal that the job market is strengthening.
Many economists predict employers added fewer than 100,000 jobs last month, and some think it was fewer than 50,000. That would be far below the 171,000 created in October and normally a sign of a weak market. The unemployment rate is expected to remain 7.9 percent.
Analysts caution, though, that Sandy likely reduced the November job gains significantly. And some employers might have delayed hiring because of concerns that the economy will fall off the "fiscal cliff" next year. That's the name for tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect in January if Congress and the White House fail to reach a budget deal by then.
If not for those factors, some analysts estimate the job gains in November might have been as high as 200,000. That would represent the best month of hiring since February.
Sandy forced restaurants, retailers and other businesses to close in late October and early November in 24 states, particularly in the Northeast. Many people couldn't get to work and weren't paid. The government counts those cases as job losses, even if they are temporary. Those subtractions would reduce net hiring.
One encouraging sign is that the storm's effect is fading. Weekly applications for unemployment benefits have tumbled in the past three weeks after spiking in early November to an 18-month high of 451,000 because of Sandy.
Last week, applications fell to a seasonally adjusted 370,000. That's roughly the same level as before the storm and is consistent with moderate hiring.
Payroll provider ADP said Wednesday that businesses added 118,000 jobs in November, down from 157,000 in the previous month. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, which helps compile data for ADP, estimated that the storm lowered the job gains by about 86,000.
The payroll losses from the storm could be higher in the government's total. That's because ADP counts people as employed if they remain on a payroll — even if they're not paid. By contrast, the government counts people as employed only if they are paid. Continued...
The fiscal cliff's impact on hiring may be harder to quantify. Even if companies aren't cutting jobs because of the cliff, the uncertainty surrounding the outcome is likely delaying some hiring, economists say.
Measures of hiring fell in two surveys released this week by the Institute for Supply Management, a private trade group of purchasing managers. Some companies in the service sector told the ISM that economic uncertainty was delaying hiring.
The storm also held back consumer spending and income, which drive economic growth. Consumers spending fell 0.2 percent in October, the weakest showing since May. Incomes were flat, after rising 0.4 percent in September.
Work interruptions caused by Sandy reduced wages and salaries in October by about $18 billion at an annual rate, the government said.
The U.S. grew at a solid 2.7 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter. But many economists say growth is slowing to a 1.5 percent rate in the October-December quarter, largely because of the storm and threat of the fiscal cliff. That's not enough growth to lower the unemployment rate.
Still, many say economic growth could accelerate next year if the fiscal cliff is avoided. The economy is also expected to get a boost from efforts to rebuild in the Northeast after the storm.

It's important to be discriminating about what you say and believe today. That's because communications are rather strange, with people saying or doing odd things and plenty of scope for crossed wires. Be very careful if you're attending to important details because for some reason your brain may switch off at the vital moment, leaving you prone to making mistakes or losing track of what you're doing. Try to double-check anything important tomorrow when your brain is back in gear.

Blatant disrespect
Get tough on child porn
No Stalin bust, please
I have lived in Bedford County since 1969 and my grandmother, who was born in Bedford County, frequently shared her memories and affection for the county. I share this to acknowledge that I am no stranger to Bedford and its history. With that in mind, these are my observations about this Stalin bust fiasco.
Thankful for support
December 2010 marked our fifth year of providing Christmas assistance to low-income families in Bedford City and Bedford County. Each year, I gain precious memories of events related to our mission of serving low-income families in a dignified and respectful manner. When thinking about Christmas 2010, I can also be thankful and grateful as I remember what did not happen.
Appreciates stand
In reference to the recent School Board vote on the name of the Winter Holiday, thank you Mickey Vanderwerker -for standing up for those principles on which our country was founded: religious tolerance and separation of church and state. -for acknowledging that there are those in Bedford of different faiths who count. -for valuing the ever more diverse nature of our precious community of Bedford.
Thanks Sheriff Brown
I hope Mr. Hackworth was watching Good Morning America this morning (Monday, Dec. 13) on WSET when Ed Smart, father of Elizabeth Smart, talked about the sexual predator, Brian Mitchell, kidnapping his daughter Elizabeth Smart in June of 2002. Smart was found alive nine months later on March 12, 2003. Mr. Smart also spoke in glowing terms about the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces and how important they are in protecting our children.

I arrived at the Heathrow Virgin Atlantic bag drop late. I was told I'd missed my plane and to go to desk 13 to discuss whether I could be transferred to another flight. The next person I talked to said that since my bag to be checked was well below 10kg, I could take it as hand luggage on my original flight, but that I'd have to run to the gate. I got through security in good time and made it to the plane by sprinting all the way. I was pleased to be the last passenger on-board and having avoided hanging around – all that queuing is such a drag!
I checked the in-flight entertainment and since all the film and music selections were complete and utter wank, decided to read Barry Graham's new book The Wrong Thing instead. This turned out to be a smart move since I really dug Graham's noir-style prose which was finely crafted and engrossing. A Mexican-American boy called The Kid who isn't loved by his family gets into drug dealing, finds love and in loosing it winds up dead. All the trademark Graham interests are present too – from boxing to the unnecessary cruelty of capital punishment. On one level the book is a narrative essay illustrating how the law serves the rich and screws the poor.
Returning to my flight, I was travelling economy and since I'd last taken a transatlantic jaunt on Virgin they seemed to have introduced three classes of travel. I guess you get what you pay for and in premium economy they had more and larger toilets – the rich don't just shit like you and me, they do it on a grander scale! The attendants got very pissed off with economy passengers who went into the premium economy bogs – they'd have probably had a heart attack if we'd tried to use the first class karzai! It wasn't exactly service with a smile – when tea and coffee were being offered around and I asked for water, I was told I could only have a hot beverage. So I had to say I wanted a black coffee but to hold the coffee, so I ended up with a cup of hot water. Why I couldn't just have a glass of cold water beats me… Likewise all the pep talk to passengers about safety is obviously absolutely nuts when Virgin make their female flight attendants wear high-heels. I saw one stewardess fall on her arse and I'm sure she wouldn't have tumbled if she'd been wearing flat shoes.
Remembering I wanted to go for a heightened state of awareness on this trip, I decided to develop my paranoia and assume the guy in the seat next to me was an undercover cop. We didn't say much to each other, although that may have been because he spent much of the flight asleep. I like to stay awake, not just because it seems safer when you're simulating paranoia but also because it's a way of easing into a new time zone. I finished Barry Graham's book and had to move onto another less interesting one. I was pleased when we landed at JFK and I got to immigration. At first the immigration officer gave me a bit of a grilling, but when he asked what my job was and I told him novelist, he became very friendly. I always say novelist at immigration because it is both true and generally seen as less contentious than if you say you're a writer (you might be a subversive journalist) or an artist (in which case you'll probably be suspected of making porn).
I didn't have to wait long for the express bus to Manhattan. I got off at 42nd Street and crossed the road to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It was a short hop to Hoboken. On the way I checked the voice mail messages that had come in on my US cell phone while I was back in London for twelve days. Two of them were a regular series of bleeps – probably just random attempts to send spam faxes, but that didn't mean I couldn't pretend to be paranoid about them. When I arrived in Hoboken I saw immediately the place had undergone a massive change. The town looked nothing like it had when I'd last stayed there back in the eighties. It was Friday night and people were partying on the street as if having a good time was about to go out of fashion. Instead of local stores and down market chains like Domino's Pizza, it now boasted branches of Footlocker and American Apparel, as well as a lot of trendy bars.
Tom McGlynn's apartment building was now an anachronism, it looked as run down as when I'd first stayed there more than twenty years before. Going through the hallway and up the stairs there were still blaring TVs and shouted conversations in both Spanish and English. Tom has a rent controlled flat and he'd been doing it up, so it looked much smarter than when I was last there. We chatted for a couple of hours – mostly about Occupy Wall Street – and then crashed out. Tom's take on OWS was really interesting because he was designing shelters for protesters to sleep in, so he was involved in some very practical discussions about how to keep the movement growing. But he was also keeping a close eye on the various elements involved in political discussions around the occupation.
Saturday morning was just a question of acclimatising to the hood. Last time I'd been in Tom's flat there was a view of the Hudson River from one end, but new and expensive apartment buildings had completely hidden the water. After lunch it was time to head to Manhattan. We took the PATH rather than the bus. We got off at 9th Street and went to St Marks Books, which is still the best place to pick up texts in New York. From there we moved on to Bullet Space, an artists collective on the Lower East Side. I sat in on Tom's meeting with Alex Rojas and Andy Castrucci about a group show they were including him in entitled Mob. When we exited Bullet Space we ran into Carlo McCormack on the street outside the gallery.
I hadn't seen McCormack since 1989 and we chatted about our mutual friend Jon Savage, as well as the Billy Childish opening that I'd missed since it had taken place a couple of hours before I arrived at JFK. Tom and I headed up to White Columns so that I could check in with the gallery and see how my show there had been going. When we arrived we were told we'd missed Billy Childish and Steve Lowe by minutes – they'd been in together to see my retrospective before heading on to the airport. From there we moved around the corner to Snice for coffee and burritos. After our refreshments, we made out way to Murray Guy on West 17th Street for the opening of Ann Lislegaard's show TimeMachine. A cartoon creature projected onto mirrors stuttered segments of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells… It grooved us and I'm sure it would appeal to the kids too!
When Tom headed back to Hoboken, I made my way to White Columns for an Eileen Myles reading of prose, poetry and a long extract from an essay she'd contributed to the SF MOMA catalogue for The Air We Breathe: Artists & Poets Reflect On Marriage Equality. I'd been to see Myles read at Apexart two weeks earlier, but had to miss her performance because she was on last and the event ran late. White Columns had bought me a yoga mat for my performance there a couple of weeks earlier, and since it was still in one of the offices, I decided to take it away so that I could practice my headstand reading in comfort. I quickly discovered that in New York guys use yoga mats as 'babe magnets'. On the subway four girls aged about twenty started to hit on me by initiating a conversation about yoga. Once I was safely back in Hoboken, Tom introduced me to two Canadian friends who'd come to visit him – Mary and Larry. I'd only been away from the US for twelve days but during that time the clocks had gone back an hour in the UK. Now I was in the east coast for the weekend when the clocks went back there…. It seemed like I was in a time slip.
Sunday morning was a chance to run through the stuff I was planning to do on Thursday for the Performa live art festival – including my headstand reading. After lunch I headed to Brooklyn… I took the PATH to 14th Street in Manhattan, changed onto the L train and then changed once again to the G train. I'd heard the G train was really infrequent but I caught one quickly and arrived early at Tim Beckett and Charlotte Jackson's pad a couple of blocks from the Bedford Nostrand subway stop. You could see the area was being gentrified but it still had more of the old time vibe than anywhere else I'd been since I'd arrived in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area.
Next to turn up at Tim and Charlotte's was Ron Kolm. As more people arrived – including Carl Watson and Maggie Wrigley – it became an old school East Village writers meet with me as the overseas guest of honour. When Darius James walked in with Norman Douglas, it was great to see DJ for the first time in five or six years. When I complimented Charlotte on the music she was playing – a lot of Model 500 among other things – and asked her how she had picked a bunch of my favourite tunes, she told me that this was easy to do, since she'd been checking the links I posted on my Facebook page. That really helped raise my state of awareness by making me paranoid that every intelligence and police agency in the world knows I like sixties soul tunes and old school house!
Shortly after this John Farris arrived and he had real presence. I've not read his novel The Ass's Tale but will try to make up for that omission in due course. I ended up sitting with Darius, Norman and John for a long time: and rather than trying to give a flavour of the conversation here, it's easier just to direct you to an online interview of Norman's with John. Following much chat, chow and drinking, everyone settled down to watch a rough cut of the documentary about voodoo that Darius was scripting and presenting. The movie went down a storm, with everyone impressed by the classy cinematography… and the way Darius explained some of the finer points he was wanting to get across as the footage rolled… After the screening most people split, and once again I had no problem getting a G train. I was back in Hoboken by 11.30pm.
Monday morning was another chance to hang in Hoboken and practice for my performance… At lunchtime I headed into Manhattan to meet with Darius, Tim, Tom and Mary in The Old Town on East 45th Street. Tom and Mary had gone into town with Larry ahead of me – but Larry then went off in search of famous baseball sites in Brooklyn. I was travelling alone and everyone else arrived late. I had a bet with myself that Tom and Mary would arrive before Tim and Darius, and when they did I took out the 100 bucks I had in my left pocket and placed the notes in my right pocket. The Old Town was a traditional bar with booths and ultra-retro toilets (or maybe they'd just never been refitted). We talked about writing and the stuff Darius was doing, so voodoo was on the agenda too. Tom and Mary left before me, so Tim and I walked Darius down to Grand Central Station well after dark, then went our own ways. I'd planned to go to to both Occupy Wall Street and MOMA that day, but ended up spending all of it in The Old Tavern before heading back to Hoboken. After eating everyone at Tom's settled down to a Roger Corman produced piece of trash in the form of a DVD of Sharktopus… I was laughing so much at the movie that I forgot I was supposed to be paranoid, so that rather blew my attempts at heightened perception for the day!
Directed by Declan O'Brien, Sharktopus is one of those "so bad it's good' movies that came out last year. Corman has nice cameo as a mean spirited beach walker, and Eric Roberts looks like he was method acting being a drunk. We were speculating on the dinner conversation between the Roberts family when they meet up, with Eric's more famous sister Julia talking about her latest A-list Hollywood productions, and Eric announcing he's in Sharktopus. The monster isn't in the least bit scary but there are plenty of laughs and girls in bikinis – including a group of 'babes' doing yoga sun salutations on the beach as the half-shark/half-octopus creature attacks….
Tuesday was another morning of hanging in the hood and working on my act. After lunch I went to Manhattan to meet Mark Bloch on the Lower East Side. On the way I dropped in on This Is What Democracy Looks Like – an Occupy Wall Street themed show in an NYU building on Washington Place. There were handmade signs and printed ephemera from OWS. When I hooked up with Mark we rapped about art and politics, in terms of the latter mainly OWS. After coffee and a snack we moved on to the Billy Childish show at Lehmann Maupin's 201 Chystie Street space. Billy's canvases have got bigger as he's got more successful but otherwise his painting hasn't changed much in 30 years. The clean white cube space and uncluttered hang also signalled that 30 years of hard graft have finally paid off to make him an 'overnight success'. Upstairs there was a nice display of Billy's records and publications… The layout was not dissimilar to my current White Columns show, which perhaps isn't surprising because Matthew Higgs curated both exhibitions.
With Mark I moved on to the NYU Grey Gallery back in Washington Square to see Fluxus and the Essential Questions of Life… There were lots of familiar works but the tight curatorial categorisation seemed to work against the original iconoclasm of the movement. The curator Jacquelyn Baas has a reputation as being the hippest young expert on Fluxus and related currents, so I guess a lot of people like her methods of interpretation, but I didn't go for her division of works into categories such as 'change', 'danger', 'death', 'god', 'love', 'nothingness' and 'sex'. To undermine the conceit each category had a question mark after it – so I guess that's an admission it wasn't going to work for everyone, and for me the theming just got in the way of the work. Downstairs there was a selection of time related New York art to contextualise the Fluxus material. Between rapping and seeing two shows, Mark and I had used up most of the day… and when my old Neoist/mail art pal went home, I wandered around downtown in the dark. I'd intended to go and see the Fluxus show at MOMA that day after not making it the day before, but I was fated to miss it…
After hanging in Hoboken on Wednesday morning, I took the PATH train to World Trade Center rather than along the 33rd Street branch. Going into the station amongst the construction on the Ground Zero site felt eerie, although I guess you'd get used to it if you did it all the time. For me it provided a stark reminder of the stupidity and futility of terrorism – and let's not forget that terrorism is always vanguardist and thus always anti-working class, regardless of who is responsible for it. I headed on up to Broadway and while there took another look at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration. It almost felt like I hadn't left since I was last there nearly three weeks earlier. I had my luggage with me – including the yoga mat for my headstand reading – and a woman engaged me in a conversation about where I did yoga classes. Because I was getting hit on rather than participating in political debates, I split. After leaving OWS I checked into Hotel 91 on East Broadway, then rushed out to visit noted Ray Johnson expert Bill Wilson at his Chelsea home. Tom McGlynn had got there before me – after coffee and a long conversation with Wilson about Johnson and his playful aesthetic, the two of us headed north to call on Ben Morea. Among other things Tom and I talked to Ben about OWS. His take seemed to be that we weren't yet in a revolutionary situation and so right now we shouldn't act as if we are in one – the important thing was to push in that direction.
Tom and I moved on to the Sherrie Levine and David Smith opening at the Whitney. Smith's sculpture made us think of Cy Twombly on acid. The Levine show was a great hang and a real time trip back to the eighties. I liked both exhibitions but the opening party left me cold – like so much museum hospitality these days, it seemed aimed at trustees and businessmen who like the illusion of moving in the art world but wouldn't want to do it for real. The opening had attracted mostly suits and very few artists. A swift exit and a walk of a few blocks enabled us to hang with Nicholas Towasser of Dissident Books at Mid-Town Bagels. After drinks and a chat, Tom and I headed south again – me to East Broadway and Tom to Hoboken.
Thursday at noon I had to check in at Westport, the former strip club that was hosting my reading that night. I carried my yoga mat there without incident – I guess women don't hit on men in the streets of New York that much in the morning. We ran through the technical requirements of the night and everything was sorted in an hour-and-a-half. The venue was still laid out as a strip joint and all the readings were taking place from a catwalk with multi-coloured spot lights. I tried to make a meet with Lee Wells but our timings were out, so I wandered around downtown before going back to Hotel 91 to shower and rehearse before my show…. I got a call from Lynne Tillman who said she'd had to take a friend for emergency admission to the hospital, so she wasn't going to make the reading.
I left the hotel just after six and got to Westport on Clarkson Street before seven – having walked from one side of Manhattan to the other. With Performa curator Mark Beasley we had a hurried rehearsal of Lynne Tillman's text More Sex, with Sadie Laska from the band Joe and Sadie's Trip reading it. She sounded good and it looked funny with Mark holding up a laptop for her to read from. We didn't have a printer so this was the only way the story could be accessed. Tom McGlynn and Ben Morea turned up early, so I chatted with them – and sorted out the reading order with my fellow performers Jarett Kobek and Ken Wark when they arrived.
At eight – and not a minute before – people were allowed into the venue. It quickly filled with hipsters and I shredded one of my novels, then stood on my head to give a recital from Blood Rites of the Bourgeoisie – I always work from memory rather than with copies of my books. Jarret followed with a storming reading of a new piece and a section of his most recent novel Atta. He says it's difficult to read from his Semina novel Hoe #999 (edited by me), so he didn't do any of that – much as I'd have liked him to do so! Ken was up next and read from some of his expansive writings on the situationists, then ended with a great call and response piece about Occupy Wall Street. Sadie read Lynne's story from her new collection Some Day This Will Be Funny – with Mark holding the laptop. She was even better in front of an audience than on her run through. I finished off the readings with more party trick pieces – a passage from 69 Things To Do With A Dead Princess with my ventriloquist puppet Mister Dog, and several pages from Defiant Pose (with OWS in mind). Then Joe and Sadie's Trip played raw and loud psychedelic music…
People seemed to have a good time, and a couple of women engaged me in conversations about yoga, since they'd seen me stand on my head – although I kick up with more force than a yogi would use…. The Performa crowd left for other places and by ten-thirty Westport was filling with a different breed of hipster – the type who were regulars at the bar. My plan had been to move on to Ear for drinks – but that was closed for renovations, so we ended up at Milady's at 162 Prince Street. I'm told this is one of the very last regular bars left south of Houston, and that it gives you more beer for your dollar than plusher places. Tom McGlynn, Tim Beckett and Charlotte Jackson got there before me – they'd called me on my cell to say Ear was closed and had already decided we should go to Prince Street instead. I arrived with Jarett Kobek, Eve Blackwater, Ken Wark and Christen Clifford. Lee Wells and Katie Hofstadter Winton came later. There was much drinking and talking – and, of course, Occupy Wall Street was among the subjects covered….
I walked back to Hotel 91, buying falafel on the way. As I waited for the lift to my room a woman asked me where I'd been doing yoga – she was with a friend and both were about my age. I told the two women I'd been doing a reading standing on my head on the catwalk of a strip club, which was why I had the mat with me. I don't think they believed me but they were obviously amused by what I was saying, and seemed disappointed that I got out of the lift before them without suggesting we go to my room or for a drink somewhere nearby…. I took the yoga mat back to White Columns the next morning and left it there. Matless I found myself left in peace by women looking to meet a new boyfriend.
On Friday I went for lunch with Lynne Tillman at Snice. Lynne's sick friend had improved in the hospital overnight. Lynne herself was on top form, talking in an upbeat way about her writing and her recent visit to Japan. I was really glad to catch up with Lynne – who I'd first met at a post-opening party for Susan Hiller when I'd been in New York back in 1989. Having done my gig and met up with Lynne, I felt my current mission in New York was accomplished. We had so much ground to cover in our conversation that I didn't even get around to talking to Lynne about Richard Nash – whose innovative approach to publishing seems to have done a lot to raise her profile. I'd invited Nash to my Performa reading but he told me he was out of town that night….
Next time I visit the Big Apple I'm gonna make sure I'm not carrying a yoga mat around with me. Being hit upon by around a dozen women who didn't know me from Adam because of my yoga mat – it's like a sign saying you're a 'sensitive' man – rather ruined my attempts at raising my state of consciousness through self-induced paranoia…. I just didn't feel lonely and alienated enough after being flirted with to get into the proper noir mood! Oh well, here's to me actually achieving a heightened state of awareness next time I'm in the city!

Get your Super Bowl game-on with these fun recipes
Whether you like football or not, most of us will be enjoying Super Bowl Sunday in one way or another.
According to a story I read recently, 20 percent of the people watching the Big Game are only watching it for the commercials. I've also heard people say they only watch it for the half-time show. It'll be the talk in offices everywhere following the big game, people will be chatting about what their favorite commercial is and the not-so-hot ones. They'll talk about what they thought the highlight of the half-time show was and how many bloops there may have been.
The Big Game will have some picking their favorite team to win, or if you're like me and don't have a favorite, you'll pick a team just to get in on the fun.
Some will be watching because they have a friendly office wager going on and want to root for their (hopefully) winning team.
You can even predict which team you think will win and what the final score will be on this site.
Some will have friends and family over as they watch the game, maybe even have a beer or two and enjoy some laughs. But one thing that's for sure, there will be lots of food in living rooms all across the country as we gather around the television.
Retailers have been advertising meat, cheese and fruit trays for weeks. Your local grocery deli's are offering up buckets of chicken wings, strips and BBQ ribs. You'll find cakes shaped like footballs and others decorated with football helmets.
If you're like me, you're already planning on what you can make in your own kitchen - something that's both fun and delicious.
Whatever you decide to do this coming #Super Bowl Sunday - make it fun and make it safe.
And to help with that fun, McCormick has these great tips on how you can show your team spirit - no matter which team you're rooting for. Continued...

I'm thinking quick and simple for this Sunday game day. Here's a couple recipes that will be quick and can save you time in the kitchen. And we don't want to forget about the kids in all the fun. This recipe is not only quick but sure to please the kids - big and small.
Sloppy Joe Nachos
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) sloppy joe sauce
- 1 package (12 ounces) tortilla chips
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, optional

- drain. Add sloppy joe sauce; cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until
- heated through.
- Arrange tortilla chips on a serving plate. Top with meat mixture,
- cheese and olives if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
How about something stick-to-the-ribs good.
30-Minute Chili

- to a boil.

- bubbly. Garnish with green pepper and cheese.
- Yield: 6-8 servings (about 2 quarts).
And how about this quick recipe. It's a contest winner!

I have just recently stayed at this hotel with my friends from Dublin , I found this hotel nice to look at on the outside but reception area could do... with updating. I was pleasantly surprised at there bar restaurant the food was lovely and the staff where very friendly and the interior was modern boutique style. The rooms where basic but clean with tv and kettle. The location was fab right beside shops bars and coffee shops. I definitely would return to this hotel as they have a fab nightclub where all the celebrities hangout and you gain VIP access for staying in the hotel what more could you want :-) ....

CT Scan
CT (computed tomography or CT scan) is an imaging technology that uses x-ray beams (radiation) and computers to create detailed, cross-sectional images of an area of the body.
CT scans are frequently used to evaluate abnormalities such as blocked blood vessels. CT also may be used to locate infections or
, It serves as a valuable tool for use in minimally invasive interventional radiology procedures.
One of our newest, high-tech devices is the
GE LightSpeed VCT scanner
-- the first such device in the state. It is many times faster than conventional multi-slice CT ("CAT") scanners. In a single rotation lasting about a third of a second, the VCT captures 64 "slices" of anatomical data. The VCT (the "V" stands for "volume") represents a significant technological leap in coverage area, image clarity and speed, creating spectacular three-dimensional views of organs, arteries and veins.
The speed of the VCT makes it ideal for creating detailed images of the beating heart.
The Department of Computed Tomography (CT Scan) offers state of the art scanning for scheduled appointments, urgent and emergency patients.
Our goal is to offer same or next day service for our referred patients.
Technical staff includes state licensed radiology technologists who are certified in the advanced practice of CT Scan by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
Board certified radiologists with subspecialty expertise interpret scans and perform radiological consultations.
The Hartford Hospital Imaging Center is accredited by the
American College of Radiology
for computed tomography.
