I wanted to address the incorrect calculations and Kathie Pearson rudely said out loud, we are not discussing this today! Then she talked my ex into writing off the interest??? I was like OMG what is going on here? Even my ex-husbands attorney was stating things we never got to talk about. Then the Commissioner never showed up as well!!, so the whole meeting was ran by the Attorney General...not on my side! In the court case history it shows a new judgement and all kinds of crap. I have yet to see the corrected amount of the new wage with-holding order. I have been trying to get this straight since 2005....this is not fair and my civil rights are being denied!! Was this even legal without the commissioner there? I am going to DC again on this. It is NOT over.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

There's nothing more empowering and gratifying than activism. Many images come to people's minds when you speak that 8 letter word. But for our intentions, it's about empowering and educating. Educating ourselves on our legal and social rights; educating other multiples on the information and supports available to them; and educating the public on what being multiple really means. In these ways we empower ourselves and others to take back our lives and destiny.
Doing any of these things will empower us more than a mind can dream, helping to debunk the negative images society holds and replacing them with the true understanding of what being multiple is all about.
You don't have to be on the front lines to be an effective activist. There's plenty behind the scene things that are needed. There's always room to stand along side us though, if you do choose to be in the public eye.
Please contact us if you have any ideas for promotion, organization, and other actions to promote multiplicity -- multiple personality -- as a viable way of life and not a mental disorder.

HOMEWOOD, Ill. -- Lincoln-Way East wasn't anywhere near its best Friday as it fumbled, snapped balls too high for even the tallest of punters and miscued in a variety of others ways.
But like a little kid who calls his bigger brother to protect him in a fight, the Griffins again turned to Blake Winkler and JJ Robertson to save the day.
Winkler connected with Robertson five times for 226 yards and two touchdowns, and the duo led No. 3 Lincoln-Way East to a 38-21 road win over No. 9 Homewood-Flossmoor.
"Blake to JJ, that's something we've been saying for two years now, and hopefully it'll keep up because it's a pretty special combo," Lincoln-Way East coach Rob Zvonar said.
Homewood-Flossmoor (2-1) was able to move the ball against Lincoln-Way East all evening, but it came with short pass after short pass. The time of possession fell well in the Vikings' favor, but their problem was Lincoln-Way East (3-0) was able to accomplish what they had in 10 plays in a couple of plays.
Winkler and Robertson hooked up on three occasional for 50 or more yards. The first pass Winkler hit Robertson with was for 50 yards, and two plays later Tyler Starke scored on a one-yard run.
Later in the first half, Winkler threw a quick ball out to Robertson near the right sideline. Robertson zigzagged his way by a few defensive backs and took it to the house for a 66-yard touchdown to give Lincoln-Way East a 14-13 lead. It wouldn't trail again.
"We needed that," Winkler said. "We had been waiting for that the whole game. We needed that spark. JJ made a great play."
Both did equal work on their next big pass play early in the third quarter. Robertson sprinted past his defender, and Winkler dropped the ball to him right in stride for a 67-yard touchdown. The Griffins went ahead 24-13 and kept a double-digit advantage the rest of the way.
"We know we have to be on the same page," Winkler said. "It shows in this game and in all games. It's great having him out there. I know we have a great trust."
Homewood-Flossmoor coach Craig Buzea didn't give any excuses.
"It comes to a point where their guy is better than your guys," Buzea said. "Their receivers are better than our defensive backs."
Winkler finished 9-of-17 passing for 291 yards and two touchdowns.
Homewood-Flossmoor quarterback Tim Williams kept up with Winkler for most of the day. Williams took advantage of the Griffins' soft defense with quick, short passes. It wasn't until Lincoln-Way East started pulling away in the second half that Williams began trying to do much and started throwing interceptions.
Williams finished 29-of-42 for 281 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Homewood-Flossmoor trailed 17-13 at halftime, but came out in the third quarter and efficiently moved the ball down the field. But after seven plays and three first downs, the Vikings mishandled a handoff and Lincoln-Way recovered the fumble. Three plays later, Winkler and Robertson got together for a touchdown.
"Biggest play of the game right there," Buzea said of the fumble. "There's no question. We were moving the ball. We came out of the locker room doing exactly what we wanted to do. They didn't do anything. We just dropped the ball. I have no idea what happened."
Homewood-Flossmoor's Sheldon Jones caught 10 passes for 71 yards and two touchdowns. Sean Jones had nine receptions for 88 yard and one touchdown.
Starke scored two touchdowns for the Griffins. Lincoln-Way East fullback Nick Colangelo rushed for 102 yards and one touchdown on nine carries in the second half.
Lincoln-Way East kicker William Will made a 42-yard field goal.

I don't even think she is bisexual. She just say that because for most people that is wrong. When she has a real girlfriend outside the closet like she dates men, I will believe her a bit more and support her gay rights movements.
Monica Raymund on list? The thing about authentic Bi, is most people feel it's about really falling equally in-love with someone, not just being experimental for male amusement.
I love women that go both ways :-)
Angelina Jolie?!
You know this site is lame when someone's PR person can just add anyone like Angelina Wholie
what !! Angelina Jolie !?
You are so very gorgeous, GAGA.
I love Taylor and Lady Gaga together. She is one of my favorite singers.
She's very talent but I don't like her clothing the dressing not cool :((
she always do crazy stuff but in real life she's a wonderful person
She really is nuts and a great singer!
Anyone who slept with this ho better get a shot afterwards god only know what diseases you now have
Your a ho and to do the world a favor crawl back under the rock you came out under from

Clinton Ups Pressure on Mubarak
Julian E. Barnes reports from Washington.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for an "orderly, peaceful transition" to a "real democracy" in Egypt, and said the U.S. wants to see free and fair elections in Egypt as a result of the anti-government unrest.
Although U.S. officials have been careful not to call for the resignation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to resign, Mrs. Clinton's comments on the Sunday morning news shows seemed to inch the U.S. government toward pushing the Egyptian president to let go of his grip on power.
"We have to … stand ready to help with the kind of transition that will lead to greater political and economic freedom," Mrs. Clinton said on CNN.
While calling on the Egyptian government to take "concrete steps" toward democratic reforms, Mrs. Clinton also urged Egyptians to refrain from violence. More.

Definition of multiplication table in English:
multiplication table
A table of the products of two factors, especially the integers 1 to 12.
Example sentences
- Let's say we want to build a multiplication table listing all the multiples of positive integers from 1 through 12.
- Their study indicates that learning the multiplication table is akin to memorizing a laundry list, whereas learning how numbers relate to each other appears tied to visual intuition about space.
- Gramsci saw that it was a serious error to discredit learning methods like phonics and memorization of the multiplication table as 'outdated' or 'conservative.'

So, time to ramp up the blog again. Following the completion of my PhD research and dissertation last year, I was all out of words, and it was a relief to let the whole musing on museums thing lie for a while. Trouble is, the longer it's left, the harder it feels to pick it up again. Where to start and why even bother? What could I possibly add to the already flourishing online debate? What's the benefit? As of next week, however, I will be teaching digital museum mediation and museology to two classes here at Uni. of Copenhagen (again, but this time one class will be in Danish and one in English), and given that I am asking my students to blog, I should at least give it a go myself. Also, despite my hesitation (put it down to reservation, laziness, self-consciousness or lack of inspiration) I actually do miss the outlet, and simply need to get back into the swing of it again.
As a sort of warm up exercise, then, for blogging and for teaching, and with particular address to those of my students who find their way to my blog, let me begin by musing on blogging as a tool for research and reflection instead. Hence, as stated by Mortensen & Walker,
To blog is an activity similar in many ways to the work of the researcher. A weblogger filters a mass of information, choosing the items that interest her or that are relevant to her chosen topic, commenting upon them, demonstrating connections between them and analysing them. (2002:250)
Considering blogging a part of my research method, and including a selection of blog posts in my dissertation, I wrote about the topic in my methodology chapter:
In Thoughtful Interaction Design, Löwgren & Stolterman (2004) describe the sketch as a 'conversation partner' for the designer […], talking back and leading to new questions and considerations. In a similar fashion, my blog has allowed me to sketch thoughts and ideas in the process, communicating them not only to the world, but especially to myself. Moreover, the blog has supported my divergent research strategy. The relative swiftness – and relatively lax self-censorship – of the blogging process has thus given me an opportunity to consider a much wider spectrum of ideas than a rigorous study would normally permit.
Compared to the conventions of scholarly argumentation, the processual nature of the blog format inspires a freer form of expression. It thereby allows for the articulation of unfinished thoughts and open questions, as well as for expressing personal opinions or concerns. However, in contrast to a visual sketch, written language demands a particular structure, stringing concepts together to formulate a linear argument or coherent question. A scribbled short hand note-to-self can thus be deceptive, letting you think that you have captured an essence of thought. By contrast, making (parts of) my thought process public online has forced me to make more sense of the makings of this 'essence', to engage more deeply with the questions, the matters of concern I have grabbled with. Trying to explain – to myself, as well as to an invisible audience (boyd 2007) – why certain observations warrant attention, why certain concepts inspire or provoke me, taking guesses at their implication even if not always subjecting them to thorough analysis, has helped me to discover new facets and new dilemmas pertaining to each issue. (Baggesen 2015: 77) [references below]
The benefit of blogging for me, then, is that it helps me notice what I notice or find noticable about a text, an exhibition or an idea. It helps me reflect on and remember my observations, even if the analysis may not go as deep as that of an academic paper. Hence, for me it's more of a personal notebook and less of a public platform, and my blog has been a very useful record of issues and examples, that I did not necessarily have any particular use for at the time, but which turned out to be valuable later on. Often, I don't come to any conclusions about these issues on the blog, so in terms of using it to enter into the ongoing debate, my blog is not very strong. It even makes me feel a little vulnerable, putting all these half-baked thoughts into the open. Perhaps I should work on that, be more clear about having a particular message for a particular audience. And yet again, that could kind of defeat the object, or at least imply a taking a different approach, as the purpose of the blog thus far has not been to have a voice, but to hear myself think. The reason for doing this in public is simply that it enforces an aspect of discipline, sticking with a topic until at least it makes sense to me rather than dropping it when it gets tricky. Still, maybe I should start experimenting a bit more with what the blog could be used for, at least keep the option open.
Nevertheless, what I ask of my students is not that they find a public voice or provide definite insights into current museum issues, but that they try to use their blogs as tools for reflection, and see how it works for them. It's meant to be a tool for learning and hopefully discovering what it is about museums and museology that makes them tick.
And hey, I know it's tricky to get started, to find something to write about, and that you may feel sheepish about the result. It's OK. A short post will do. If nothing else springs to mind, simply start by telling about a recent or memorable museum visit and zoom in on a detail that stood out for you. Share a photo, quote the program. See where it takes you, if description leads to reflection. If not this time, maybe next. You'll be fine.

Summary of my dissertation Mobile museology: An exploration of fashionable museums, mobilisation and trans-museal mediation
Drawing together perspectives from museology, digital culture studies and fashion theory, this thesis considers changes in and challenges for current-day museums as related to 'mobile museology'. This concept is developed for and elucidated in the thesis to describe an orientation towards the fashionable, the ephemeral, and towards an (ideal) state of change and changeability. This orientation is characterised with the triplet concepts of mobile, mobility, and mobilisation, as related to mobile media and movability; to 'trans-museal' mediation; and to the mobilisation of collections, audiences and institutional mindsets.
The research project's transdisciplinary and exploratory approach takes inspiration from critical design, minding Latour's (2004a) call for rethinking critical approaches in the humanities. Through a creative process, focused on designs for framing fashion in everyday contexts and involving prospective users and professionals from Designmuseum Danmark, the project reflects on and seeks to articulate matters of concern in digital heritage and museum practice.
With this elaborated departure of theorisation and methodological considerations, the dissertation compiles three research articles with a selection of blog posts from the research project blog, included with an aim to illustrate the reflective and processual project methodology, and to present ideas-in-the-making relating to trans-museal mediation, some of which are elaborated in the ensuing articles.
Article one, 'Museum metamorphosis à la mode', proposes a fashion perspective on ongoing museum developments. Based on a reading of Foucault's ((1967)1986) concept of heterotopia, it is argued that museums today seek to represent the ephemeral present, by offering fashionable exhibitions and events. Outlining the history and key positions of fashion museology, the article suggests the current trend for fashion exhibitions as an illustration of this point. Presenting the case of the exhibition Shoe Obsession, the article considers the perspective of transcending the museum space to capture contemporary dress in everyday life situations.
Article two, 'Augmenting the agora: media and civic engagement in museums', questions the idea of social media holding a vital potential for the democratic development of the museum. Describing a confluence of new media affordances with new museological ideals and political demands, and drawing on Flichy's (2007) analysis of the Internet imaginaire, the article traces the ideological underpinnings of this discourse. Presenting select examples of participatory museum projects, the article points to potential problematics of such interactions, which, it is suggested, may pay lip service to genuine civic engagement.
The third and final article, 'Heteroscopia: a musealising gaze at the everyday', traces a current interest in musealising the everyday, by transcending the museum space or framing the extra-ordinary in the ordinary. The article introduces the concept heteroscopia, inspired by Foucault ((1967)1986), but also by Gumbrecht's (2004, 2006) ideas about aesthetic experiences in the everyday, to denote a musealising gaze, observing the duality of aesthetic materiality and cultural meaning in objects in or outside the museum.
The project's key perspectives – the conception of mobile museology; the fashion perspective; the notion of heteroscopia; and also the project's methodological considerations – are considered in the conclusion as theoretical contributions to museological discourse.
So that's it, for now. I just handed in my dissertation. Feels pretty good. And not just because I'm done, or because I'm proud that I did it, but because I actually feel pretty good about the result. Sure, there's lots to question and criticise, but all in all, I believe it's a decent read and that it makes some interesting points. But lets wait and see what the assessment committee has to say about that. If they accept it, the thesis will be made publicly available around August, and I expect my viva to be some time in September.
When I started this job, my sons each made a lego sculpture for my desk. Throughout this roller coaster ride of a process, I've been struck by how well these two figures have captured the essence of this job:
On the one hand, it takes a bit of gung-ho adventure spirit, a creative curiousity and a willingness to set sails and venture into the unknown (with a gargoyle! must have gargoyle for this kind of job. And some guardians; my supervisors, perhaps, or Latour and Foucault. Or my sons). That's the fun part, even though, a lot of the time, I have felt a bit lost at sea on that raft, fearing that my construction was not solid enough, that my map was way off. But then the raft has taken me to some interesting places.
On the other hand, it takes the resolution and ability to sit down and write, and keep at it, and stay put until its done, like some kind of academic potty-training. That's the hard part, accounting for the the journey taken, the construction and constituents of the raft, and the significance of the gargoyle. For me, at least, this part was the hardest – embracing uncertainty in an epistemological sense does not mean that it is not a bugger to deal with, personally and academically. But it many ways, this is also the most interesting part, because of the process of understanding [erkendelse – can't think of a proper translation] taking place as you write. Like this blog has served as a sketch pad for that process.
This won't be the final word, however. For starters' there's the viva, then I have an abstract to write, and I'm mulling over ideas for a post doc etc. I've also just joined University of Leicester's museum studies MOOC, and am very curious to experience e-learning and maybe get some new perspectives. But for now, I'm done. Awesome!
Standing in the Turbine Hall, I gape as the wondrous, gigantic mirrorball slowly descends from the ceiling, and watch the specs of light travel slowly across the walls. It is a beautiful sight in this amazing space, like the coolest rave ever getting ready to begin. It also feels like my project has come full circle, as if reality mirrors the mirrorball metaphor in my prologue. I'm nearly done. The five columns of bright daylight spilling through the windows on the rear wall not only amplify the cathedral-like qualities of the grand hall, they too seem to me to assume metaphorical qualities, representing the 'five pillars' of the museum act, the museum as archetype, as abstract idea. So conditioned to museological reflection by now, I cannot not see it, even if know I'm overstretching the meaningfulness.
A part of the BMW Tate Live event: If Tate Modern was Musée de la danse?, this session is called Adrénaline: a dance floor for everyone. But even though this definitely feels like the place to be, the party does not take off; instead of an adrenaline rush there's a shared, mixed feeling of awe and ackwardness, and more mobile phones than dance moves to be spotted in the crowd. How to dance the museum? What to make of it all? My mind oscillates between getting it and not getting it, and between minding and not minding if I do. But I like the idea.
The programme booklet speaks of mobility and memory, of ephemerality, of the museum as a mental space. Conceptualising choreographer Boris Charmatz likens the event to "trying on a new pair of glasses with lenses that opens up your perceptions to forms of found choreography happening everywhere". A heteroscopic kind of vision, perchance? Or is it just me reading extra meanings into these words, cherry-picked from the pages to rhyme with my own? Even so, Charmantz' manifesto (like Pamuk's, like the Musetrain manifesto, like Malraux's imaginaire) represents a call to think (differently) about the museum, to ask the questions what if and then what? The propositions about changing temporalities, changing views, that the terms they are a-changing, abound. Its not just me, then.
For three years I have been musing on museums on this blog, discussing all manners of ideas and questions with myself. Rather than reaching a state of clarity, of (relative) enlightenment, this process seems to keep spinning round and round, sparking off new thoughts, new uncertainties, as research is prone to do, I suppose, making you only more keenly aware of what you have yet to understand. Consequently, drawing conclusions and making statements about the state of the arts stills feels like taking stabs in the dark.
Nevertheless, I have made my illumination, my propositions. Here's hoping they will also matter to others.
Savage Beauty
On Friday, I went on a pilgrimage, no less. To see Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty at the V&A in London. The exhibition was originally shown at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 2011, and ever since, I have been reading about, and dreaming about seeing, this perfect fashion show. A former fashion student, I have long had a thing for McQueen (how could I not?), and as a proper fan-girl, I booked my ticket as soon as they went on sale last year. This time, I was not disappointed.
It was beautiful. Painfully poetic – and provocatively political – visual narratives, perfect tailoring, couture at its most sublime. And really really interesting to see the garments I had hitherto only seen in print, up close, and being able to inspect details in construction and finishings. Moreover, the exhibition design perfectly augmented the experience of the couture pieces, offering different settings and ambiences for each curatorial theme, and adding video clips as well as smoke and mirror technologies (literally – do check out the link) to the mix to give a feel of the (significance of the) original fashion shows. Even the wall texts and object labels were just right. Overall, the exhibition was both informative and evocative, exhaustive without being exhausting (i.e., for the exhibition format; of course both the aesthetics and cultural significance of McQueen bears further exploration, but such in-depth studies are better left for literature) – even my sons, aged 8 & 10, were enthralled and engaged for the full two hours we spent in the galleries. Much more than just a been-there-seen-that-got-the-tote-bag (which I did, of course) kind of experience, this was every bit as awesome as I had hoped.
Photogenic museums (Or: Observing primates at the Natural History Museum. Or: Say 'Cheese'!)
Sadly, if understandably, photography was prohibited in the Savage Beauty exhibition. Or perhaps this was just as well. At least, when visiting the Natural History Museum, next door to the V&A, I was struck by how much the museum space inspired people to take photographs. First of all, though, I was simply awestruck by the space itself (despite having worshiped at the V&A, my temple of choice, so many times over the years, this was my first visit to the cathedral of natural science): the grandeur of the entrance hall made even the centrepiece diplodocus seem rather pedestrian. (But then the real focal point may be the Darwin-as-deity statue, elevated on the stairs at the far end.)
The exhibition galleries (the ones we visited!), however, were not that impressive. There's this certain style of natural history exhibits (found also at e.g. the Field Museum in Chicago, and parts of the upstairs Fra pol til pol [From pole to pole] exhibition at the zoological museum in Copenhagen) which is all garish colours, busy interactives and overloads of didactic information that just leaves me really tired and perplexed instead of curious or enlightened. Rather than giving you the time and headspace to contemplate the specimens, and by extension, evolution, diversity, ecology and other wonders and critical concerns of natural history, they command your attention only to fill you with tit-bits of information. Too often, these exhibits also feel outdated – here, for instance, children were offered information about the daily milk-intake of a baby whale using the analogy of a milk float, even though these went out of service long before the kids were born. To be fair, we only saw parts of the museum (the dinosaurs (lurid) and mammals (tired)), as we were already a bit museumed-out post V&A, and I suspect that other galleries and newer exhibitions had more to offer, (by attempting to offer less, perhaps). And yes, I guess it's also a matter of taste and of didactic principles and convictions, so I should probably not be so harsh. I just had a much more engaging, exciting and enlightening time at Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. And I suspect that even my kids prefer exhibitions that also cater to unaccompanied adults. Therefore, for me, the choice of an aesthetic, almost art museum-like style for the new(est) Precious Things exhibition at the Zoological Museum, DK, bodes well for the coming national museum of natural history.
Anyway, back to the photography thing. As evident above, I also photographed the beautiful building, and often attempt to capture particular details as a keepsake, that is, when I'm not too self-concious to even get my phone out. So I get the urge to take photos in the museum (even though it also reminds me of that quote from Kafka in Barthes' Camera Lucida: "We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds. My stories are a way of shutting my eyes" (2000:53) – Is that what we do? Take a photograph to avoid engaging our minds and memory?).
Whatever the subliminal reasonings and effects, it was quite interesting to observe how people posed or moved around to get just the right shot, and to see the selfie stick phenomenon in action. Because it just hasn't been that big a thing in Denmark, yet. But then again, big enough for the National Museum of Denmark to greet visitors with this sign:
Actually, I've been saving up links for a post on this subject for months, the-one-about-museum-selfies, and started a draft for it on '#MuseumSelfie day' in January. Because it is an interesting mobile/social/museum-media issue, one that provokes fervent reactions and counter-replies, battling over issues of the cultural meaning and value of selfies, of appropriateness, and of who gets to decide what is appropriate. Should museums encourage or ban photography? Should visitors be free to enjoy artworks and artefacts in whatever way is right for them, or does one person's freedom to take photos hamper another visitors freedom to enjoy the same objects without being disturbed by the cameras? Is the issue as big as it's made out to be? It really is all very interesting. But my head's too full, too tired at this stage of my thesis to really engage with this question, so I've simply opted for a 'live and let live' attitude (which might be where I'd end up after much deliberation anyway). Besides, Ed Rodley has already written a string of really good blog posts on visitor photography, so rather than wasting more time on my 50p's worth, go and read his considerations here, here and here.
Anti-social media?
Visitor photography and gallery etiquette aside, the #museumselfie matter, of course, also relates to social media conventions and user behaviour online, which has its own issues. Actually, mastering the jargon of social network sites is pretty tough. Take Twitter: Knowing how to banter in 140 characters, how to twist and dose your hashtags, understanding what the acronyms and formatting tricks are all about (luckily, there are helpful guides out there for those of us who are still not quite sure when to put a full stop in front of the @handle). Not to mention cadence, selection and timing (on Facebook, for instance, working out whether or not to enter into an already waning debate, or how to assess the sell-by-date on a popular link or meme). Keeping up. Curating your profile. Building your network. Sorting out your settings. Working out the different formats and protocols for different platforms. Minding your digital p's and q's.
Some people get it, either because they have a knack for it, because it's their job to knuckle down and work it out, or because they make it a priority. Others don't care whether they do or not, they just do it. Some dabble, hesitate. Come on, sing the digerati, there's no right or wrong, just jump in and swim! No need to overthink it, doggy-paddle will do just fine. Still, it's an element that some people feel comfortable in, and others don't. Just like other social elements.
My point is that social media can feel pretty anti-social if you're not quite sure how to participate. Even if the party's open, it's not that simple to crash into a conversation, especially if its outside of your personal nexus. You need social capital, in a digital currency. You need time and effort. You need to have something to say, which is often the hardest and most daunting part. Or you may just be introvert (which is getting kinda cool, only in a very understated way), or simply not inclined to share your thoughts and whereabouts with everyone. (Over on Facebook and Twitter, I'm one of those lurkers, mainly).
For museums, this means two things. First up, professional communication is a job, also when it takes place on social media platforms. Judging by all the slick and quirky museum profiles out there, many institutions have now caught on to this. However, these cool social media museum communicators also set the bar high. Therefore, secondly, it's worth keeping in mind that just as some people feel excluded from the museum space, because they don't really know how museum-going is done, so others may feel excluded from/by the smart banter online.
Just sayin'. (Or maybe, I'm just bullshitting – as argued by Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, social media "confront us with epistemological problems and are hard to understand. [Meanwhile], there is a large demand for knowledge about what they mean, a powerful political economy that generates a lot of statements about social media, including substantial amounts of bullshit." (2015: abstract) Do read the full article).
Fashion on the Ration
If Savage Beauty was our reason for going to London, and #DancingMuseum at Tate Modern the scoop event to coincide with our visit (which I will leave for another post, however, as I hope to tease out an epilogue from this), then Imperial War Museum's Fashion on the Ration: 1940s Street Style exhibition was the most wonderful bonus. I didn't even know it was on when we decided to visit the museum our last day of visit, but this was actually one of the best fashion exhibitions I've seen. Compared to the extravagance of both content matter and exhibition design in Savage Beauty, this exhibition was pretty prosaic, as the austerity fashion on display was matched by fairly unassuming display formats, which were, however, doing just the right job. This exhibition too was beautiful, informative, and evocative, and conveyed many interesting aspects of wartime fashion, from 'siren suits', factory fashion and gasmask handbags, over make-do-and-mend campaigns and ration measures, to patriotic prints and Utility designs from England's finest fashion designers. Most importantly, perhaps, the importance of fashion, even in wartime, was brought to attention. (Here, I wish I had been allowed to use my camera to aid my memory also in the future, but luckily it's possible to find images from the exhibition itself online, to complement the museum's well stocked online subject hub.)
But the most significant difference between the two exhibitions is of course that whereas Fashion on the Ration focused on fashion in cultural history context (or as cultural history), thereby shedding light on the aesthetics of Utility style and 1940's street style, but also on the austerity and creativity of life during the second world war, Savage Beauty showcased couture as an art form, which is actually pretty distinct or far removed from fashion in a more general sense. Thus, they represent very different takes on what a fashion exhibition is, a difference that can perhaps be seen as analogous to the difference between metonymic representation (the cultural history artefact documenting an era, class, issue or other) and metaphor (the abstractions of art). Hmmm. Need to ponder that proposition a bit more, to see if it sticks, and leave it at this for now. After all, I still have a thesis to complete.
It's rather quiet on the blog, as I'm knuckling down to finish my thesis. But I had to share this clip, because it's so much in tune with what I'm writing.
The link that Mia Ridge is sharing in the tweet is a CFP for a Museums Computer Group spring meeting provocatively titled 'Innovation':the Emperor's new clothes?. Do follow the link, there's some interesting questions there, asking if innovation 'for the sake of it' might still have a motivational and long lasting effect. That may well be the case. Still, I agree with Mia & Seb Chan that the incessant pursuit and trumpeting of' innovative' projects can get a bit wearisome.
It's parallel to or part of the same problem of funding and legitimisation that I wrote about in the article Augmenting the agora: Media and civic engagement in museums, in which I conclude:
In order to secure the financial future of institutions, museums must not only adhere to state regulations and political dictates but also make their efforts visible and understandable to the powers that be and the public at large. […] Social media, thus, serve museum objectives well by creating the appearance of engaging the public with culture and the institution in the public discourse. However, the question of whether this communication also serves public interest in fact in terms of spurring on the democratisation of the museum institution is more uncertain. In fact, the feigned transition to a forum and coaxed inclusion of the vox populi may turn out to undermine genuine civic engagement and democratic exchange with the public. Far from advocating that museums refrain from using new media channels in any way, this article has pointed out the dangers of a prevalent rhetoric and blind communal consensus around the democratic impact of social media in museum communication. Unquestioned evangelism, hype and unreflected inclusion of social media could end up having the reverse effect, simply paying lip service to the social obligations of the museum.
For the record, I received strong criticism for this article from Michael Edson of the Smithsonian, in return for my critique of his rhetorics in the article, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MBiXS0REJmk7ur5eMdO73HDZl_u3mmFrCT0dpaTDlFk/edit
Although I was at first a bit baffled by the force of Edson's retort, I am honestly honoured, and much obliged, that he made the effort to respond, and found his critique to be in most part useful and constructive. (The hatches have long been buried following a fine online concersation, so I do not bring up this point to get back at Edson, but rather because the critique and discussion is relevant for my research). And yet, while I agree with many of his points, I also still believe that the ongoing developments can be interpreted in different ways, and that it is relevant to point out the risk of hyperbole or hypocrisy. For my part, I find Edson's belief in the power of the internet and his vision for the impact this may have on cultural institutions, as expressed in the essay Dark Matter, published on the highly recommendable Medium hub CODE|WORDS, very sympathetic:
Museums, libraries, and archives—heritage, culture, knowledge, and memory institutions—can play a huge role in the story of how Earth's 7 billion citizens will lead their lives, make and participate in their culture, learn, share, invent, create, cry, laugh, and do in the future. […] The entire architecture of the World Wide Web is based upon [Tim Berners-Lee's ] humanistic, democratic ideals, and we can do a lot of good with them if we make wise choices and concentrate our efforts where they'll matter the most.
However, I do not agree that his examples of YouTube or Kickstarter success-stories are necessarily applicable to a museum context. Moreover, the point of my article was also to point out what Nick Poole, responding to Edson's essay, succinctly concludes:
Technology can certainly help us rewrite the social contract with the communities we serve. It can offer us channels and tools to make good on the promise of a more egalitarian and unbounded approach. But it cannot in itself transform our organizations. That bit is up to us.
Poole also introduces the brilliant term 'openwash' to describe the problem of institutions "which [speak] the language of the Commons, of participation and engagement, while betraying these very principles through their actions."
Thus, the rhetoric of [INSERT: innovation, democratisation, participation, engagement, inclusion etc.] can be deceptive, and problematic when it becomes necessary to 'talk the talk' when applying for funding.
However, as pointed out by philosopher Anders Fogh Jensen, actual transformation may be problematic too. In an inspiring presentation (in Danish, follow link for video (I would have liked to call it 'thought provoking', but for me, it was more like hearing someone else present my own arguments in a better way) ) given at the seminar Why Museums? earlier this week, Jensen described a ubiquitous projectification of our society, in which all institutions must adhere to the same logics, the same lingo. Thus, they all have to conceive innovative, inclusive, engaging (Jensen here listed a much longer list of all too familiar buzz words) projects, to attract funding,
Another tendency identified by Jensen was the strong focus on 'activation', i.e., engaging users/citizens/students/visitors/anyone in activities, which themselves become the objective rather than the mean. Thereby, he argued, 'institutions disappear as institutions, to be reborn as functions'.
The danger of these conflated tendencies, according to Jensen, is that as all institutional spaces become multifunctional and interdisciplinary, they also become homogenous. The museum becomes a space like any other.
Invoking Foucault's concept of heterotopia (also a Leitmotif in my thesis), Jensen argued for the need for the museum to be something else, to be an 'other space', a place for reflection and for experience of reverse or alternative logics. Quoting the closing sentences of Foucault's essay,
The ship is the heterotopia par excellence. In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates.
Jensen concluded that the ethical obligation of museums would be to withstand the winds of change for changes sake, withstand the hypes and homogenisation, in order to remain relevant.
Edson, in the Dark Matter essay, describes how
Museums and museum websites can be disappointing to people used to the more open, participatory, and playful collaborative environments they find elsewhere on the Web, and sometimes they take action.
This may be true. However, considering Jensen's argument, should museums really be like the web? Aren't the humanistic and democratic ideals, which Edson attributes to Tim Berners-Lee, already at their core? Whereas Edson's point is that museums and the web are really not that dissimilar, perhaps there could be a point in keeping them distinct?

Week 5 is upon us in fantasy land and some of us have taken some serious hits. I felt like those were my ribs that were roughed up in Philly Sunday.
But we must all gut through it and figure out what to do next.
The best way to do that is maneuver around the bye week and the injuries.
As far as the bye week goes, start sitting players if you have anyone on:
Miami, New England, Pittsburgh, or Seattle.
As far as injuries go, I'll cover the big ones.

It's Fashion Friday!!! My friend had told me once that when she's wearing a great fashionable outfit to the gym, she could work out for hours more. It's true, wearing workout clothes that you feel great in will help you have a better workout. Read this article for five tips on fitness fashion, go shopping, and have a great workout!
T-shirts and bulky sweatpants were about as trendy as the outfits got, and a person wouldn't be caught dead wearing them anywhere but the gym.
But now, fitness fashions are a hot style and women are making style statements as they get busy with their workouts, and even afterward as they continue with their day."More and more women are finding fun ways to be active, and whether she is a serious athlete or an aspirational one, she wants to look good," said Nadine Rauer, Belk's vice president/divisional merchandise manager of active and special sizes.Outside their workout routine, women aren't afraid to keep on sporting borrowed-from-the-gym looks.
Lacey Stone, ambassador for fitness clothing company Carbon 38, said the new fitness trend is "athleisure.""It's the idea that you can wear clothes from the gym straight to the street," she said.
"Multi-purpose clothing is an awesome idea for the busy woman on the go attacking the boardroom and life."
Here are five tips for a fitness fashion, trendy workout or workout-inspired look:
1.Get in uniform: Rauer said today's go-to exercise uniform is colorful printed capris with a matching sports bra and tank top. Other pieces, such as hooded tees, can easily be layered on top for a flexible on-the-go wardrobe.
2. Use sportif elements: "The more fashion forward girl who wants to jump on the sportif trend, but not head to the gym, will mix her athletic pieces with classic sportswear, making her comfortable and on trend," Rauer said.
3. Accentuate your "assets": Put the focus of your outfit on the parts of your body you're most comfortable with, Stone said. So if you have great legs, wear shorter shorts or make leggings your centerpiece. Choose a cool sleeveless tank if you've got awesome arms.
4. Disguise problem areas: Have an area you don't love? Layer with a hoodie or wear a longer top. Stone suggested wearing a "funky pair of sneakers" if you want to take the attention away from your body. "Look at dressing for the gym the same way you dress to go out on the town; the same principles apply," she said.
5. Find new motivation: A great workout outfit will motivate you to be get out and exercise.
When you're shopping, look for items that would be practical for activity yet still look good if you're running errands afterward, Elle magazine suggested – 5 hot fitness fashion trends
Neon and bright colors
Bold all-over patterns, including floral and animal prints
Pieces with cutouts
Mesh panels on clothing
Tanks with deep arm holes

They sent a box to ship it back in. It was a badly beat up box with no packing material, so I packed the iPad in its manufacturer box, and all cables. They promised if you sent it within 2 business days of receiving the packaging, you would receive a free gift so I did that. I received the packaging on 11/16/2011 and sent it via UPS 11/18/2011.
They received it 11/29/2011 according to their email and signed for by JOHN (according to UPS).
They inspected it and claimed I would receive a phone call within 5 business days.I gave them my work number. I work at a financial insitution and all calls are recorded and noted - THEY DID NOT CALL. I gave them a cell number. They never called. So finally, on 12/7/2011 I called them.
I spoke to BRIAN - who is also mentioned on another complaint. BRIAN told me that the device had pitted marked, scratches etc and was only worth $120 and they can have the money to me tomorrow morning. I explained that it was not pitted, it had a factory sticker on it from the screen, had never even been synced. He told me that their company is "good for the environment" and the "scratches" make the gorilla glass hard to render. (?). I work in IT, and handle the iDevices for our FI. I told them that was a load. I told them I wanted the $285 they offered, or I wanted my device back as fast as they got it FROM me and I would sell it on eBay.
He told me that they wanted my device and to come up with a mutually agreeable number. I told him there was no mutually agreeable number aside from the quote given to me when I filled out the form on the website. He told me that it would take 3-4 weeks to return the item. I reminded him that the FTC does not allow that - that the law is that if an item has to be returned, he has 7 days and it has to be returned in the same manner OR BETTER than the way it was sent to me. After a few more minutes of arguing - BRIAN got quiet, spoke very softly and low, and told me $285 would be sent to my paypal account in the morning.
I had such a bad feeling I called back and talked to Wendy, who transferred me to Ben who confirmed that $285 would be coming to me, although "it could take a few days for Paypal to clear it". I told him that Paypal was instant, I have a premier business account so I wanted to know when it would go through. He told me tomorrow. I told him I wanted to file a complaint so he forwarded me to some voicemail where Darren McCarthy -purcashing manager - said he was "looking forward to hearing my feedback" and to "not worry, he wouldn't bother me by calling me back". I said in the message I'd love a call back.
I doubt I'll get one, but I am making it my daily goal to post this story to all forums so nobody else will use this company. Underhanded bait and switch. Luckily I know the law and how it works and they couldn't talk circles around me.

The letters and numerals inscribed above the doors of homes in the Belgian town had me scratching my head a few years ago, but come Friday, I may have scrawled a similar message above my door in New Boston.
Friday was the traditional day for observing Epiphany, the 12th day after Christmas.
The Twelve Days of Christmas, by the way, began Christmas Day and concluded the night of Jan. 5.
Whether Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is one of the nation's best politicians is certainly debatable, but in setting his goals for this year's legislative session he has shown that he is more practical than many politicians.
In recent years the Tea Party movement has produced numerous elected officials – of the same political party as Daniels – who refuse to compromise on taxes, social issues or virtually anything. Therefore they have been able to enact very little of their political agenda.

Much attention is being focused on one key issue in the upcoming legislative session: Right to Work. We are now seeing the opposition groups speak out strongly as the governor and the Speaker have made this a top priority.
Opponents have every right to share their concerns. My commitment is to share openly with you the information we have gathered in extensive hearings, meetings and research to lead us to take a position of support for RTW.

Perry County is participating in the Indiana Hometown Competitiveness Program based on a successful application submitted by the Perry County Chamber of Commerce. The program empowers hometowns to enhance their prosperity and quality of life. IHTC is operated out of the Office of Community and Rural Affairs and is based on a similar program that began in Nebraska to help their communities that had been shrinking for more than 100 years.

All of a sudden the state has money. The recent December forecast revision increased expected revenues by $516 million for the biennium. It's been almost 10 years since we've seen that much added revenue at the start of a legislative session.
And that's not all. Suddenly, there's an added $288 million in state balances, the money in the state's checking account. That's in addition to the added forecast revenue.
Plenty of people rang in the new year with family and friends over the weekend. As the presses prepared to roll, I had no set plans for New Year's Eve. I do, however, have some suggestions for 2012, both for myself and as food for thought for everyone.
Some of these are based off of ideas submitted by friends. Thanks to them.
There's plenty to be optimistic about as 2012 begins. While many of us will chart New Year's resolutions to lose weight, quit smoking or spend more time with family, we would like to outline a few broader community goals.
We hope the year ahead brings stability to Cannelton City Schools. Specifically, we would like leaders of the school district, threatened by a small student population and cuts in funding, to do one of two things in 2012:

Family room painted a natural shade of green color
This is a picture of our family room. It originally had white painted walls and a bare beat up hardwood floor.
We got a good deal on some navy blue carpeting and we were trying to figure out what color to paint the walls. After wandering around a local paint store for the better part of an hour we settled on this 'fresh green' color.
I have always been a big fan of this particular shade of green but never really had an excuse to use it, so I was more than happy to get a chance to paint our family room this color. It also worked out well that all our furniture is brown so it all went really well with this.
I was extremely happy how well it all came together. I don't recall the brand any more. It's a very nice paint, the room has been painted around a year and half and the paint still looks as good as it did the first week.
Another thing I really liked about the paint is that the room is not as bright anymore. It was a bit uncomfortable having all white walls and bright sunlight in the room. The green is a nice natural color, which also goes well with all the woodwork.
To all others also on a budget I would recommend taking a little bit before picking a paint color.
We initially looked at a blue paint, but upon further inspection we realized that all the furniture and cabinet we had already went great with this fresh green color. Had we gotten the blue, things probably would not have matched as well, and I know I would not have been as happy with the outcome of the project.
So I guess summed up, don't rush to buy paint. Make sure you're getting the correct color for you.

I'm looking for a way to display all posts published in a category on a certain date on one page. When clicking on a category, WordPress would show all posts published the last day a post was added in that category. Clicking the "previous"-button should refer to the page showing all posts added the previous day and so on. Simply limiting the number of posts displayed doesn't help since the number of posts varies.
Rather than just paging through previous days the script would have to check first, if any posts have been added the previous day, and skip "empty" days. Maybe there's a way to solve the problem with a link to the archive. Not sure what the first link in the navigation pointing there would look like though.
I'm quite new to wordpress so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cheers and jeers: Aug. 27, 2011

Cheers — Rolling ahead
Major roadwork can be a headache for motorists, but it sure is nice once it's done.
That is what Houma residents will tell themselves soon as they enjoy the new Westside Boulevard extension, which will connect West Main Street and Martin Luther King Boulevard.
Though no opening date has been set for the roadway, parish officials say it is in the final stages of construction and should be open by mid-October.
The good news, in addition to the fact that the road will soon be open, is that the entire project is running ahead of schedule.
Around the same time that the Westside extension opens, work crews will begin work on the coming Valhi Boulevard extension, which will take that road all the way to Savanne Road.
Either road by itself might be just a small improvement. But they are part of an effort to distribute traffic among more roads, reducing congestion on the main roads such as La. 311.
That is a move all motorists can support.
Cheers — Back to school
Thursday might have seemed like just another day to some of us, but to Nicholls State students, it marked the annual welcome festivities.
The school has a tradition of welcoming its students back in the second week of the new year, and once again, the event was a success.
While some thoughts might still linger on summer, the welcome back was a great way of easing students into the new academic year.
"It's nice to come to a campus where this happens," said freshman Brad Fairley of Houma.
That is a thought that was echoed by many of the students who took part in it.
Welcome back, and enjoy the new year.
Cheers — Getting the signal
Kraemer has long been a trouble spot when it came to getting cellphone service.
But plans are in the works to build a new AT&T cell tower that should significantly improve local residents' ability to communicate.
"We certainly expect it to happen," an AT&T spokeswoman said.
Both U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, and state Rep. Dee Richard, of Thibodaux, no party, deserve a lot of credit for working with the company and various government agencies to clear the way for the new tower.
It will certainly be put to good use.
Cheers — A real inspiration
The football players at E.D. White Catholic High got a great visit earlier this week.
Former Thibodaux High player Myron Wright stopped in to address the Cardinals and give them some words of advice.
Wright was a sophomore in 2002 when he was hit during a game and left paralyzed.
"When coach has you running, don't think, 'When is coach going to let us stop running?' Don't ever think that," Wright said.
That was a great message for these young student-athletes to hear.
"I've told you that playing football is a privilege. I hope you never take that privilege for granted," said head coach Kyle Lasseigne.
It is unlikely that anyone who heard the stirring speech will take it for granted.
That is a terrific outcome that could leave ripples of effect throughout these young men's lives.

Skill Level Intermediate
We're back to our non-styled document. In previous videos of this chapter, of course, we've linked to external style sheets, and we embedded style sheets and we've combined the two. Now I've taken all the way to look at yet another method of associating CSS with a XHTML document and that's importing. We go over to our style sheet, we have here, an embedded style sheet, in which we could do a little directive called at import.
This isn't exactly the decoration is more of a directive and has a very specific syntax, which is fairly rare in CSS, as is almost certainly the only time you'll ever use this sort of construction, the at symbol and then import, and after that a space and then the URL in parentheses. We provide the URL of the style sheet that we wish to import, that the URL part of course is very much like an href attribute in the link element. So we set at import the thing at this URL styles/base.css and having said that, if we go back over to our Web browser and hit Reload, we've imported the style sheet just as if we had linked it.
And as with linking, is possible to have multiple imports, let's say styles/secondary.css and switch over to the web browser, hit Reload and have those changes. Functionally this is the same as what we did before. Whereas we had two links before now we have two imports or as they were sometimes called atimports. So might wonder why both these things exist.
The reason is that the link element is part of XHTML. It's a way that XHTML documents have to link to other things, not necessarily just style sheets, that's far and away the most common use for link, all of the other ones are very obscure and generally only done for experimental purposes. We have to spend a pretty long time doing web design before you're likely to come in any other reason for the link element besides associating style sheets to your document. But that's part of the XHTML specification.
CSS itself needed a way to associate one style sheet to another, and that's what at import does. It's a way in one style sheet to say bring in the contents of another style sheet here so that's what's happening. So, because you can't have link or any other XHTML in a style sheet. Which one is better, there is, that tends to be a matter of personal preference, and it tends to be a matter of some debate if I'm only associating external style sheets with my document I tend to use link elements for a variety of reasons.
For those of you who might be interested in eventually doing scripting on your documents, it's very easy to have downscripting effect link elements. It's a very, very difficult for downscripting to affect importing, in fact, it's, so far as I know well into impossible, maybe not totally impossible, but very, very close to being so. So if I'm only associating external style sheets with my document I'm going to use link elements, I'm not going to embed a style sheet just for the purpose of having one or more at imports.
But where this gets interesting is that this is an embedded style sheet and so, in addition to having our imports we could also have some normal you know, regular old declarations and some regular old rules, that say things like, so let's italicize our navlinks, and let's boldface our paragraphs which, if we switch over and reload, you can see that those things have happened. So, if I know that I'm likely in my pages to have a need for both external style sheets and embedded styles I might then in that case decide to just have embedded style sheets import the external style sheets and then add the embedded styles that I want to afterward. That's a pretty rare case. That really ever happens in my experience so I end up linking a lot and I end up add importing and frankly, embedding style sheets not very often at all.
The one thing to watch out for if you want to do this is that the CSS specification requires that all your at imports come before any other rule. If you wanted to take the two at imports and put them after the p font-weight bold and the navlinks font-style italic, that would be illegal and a fully CSS conformant Web browser would actually ignore your imports if you put them after the font-weight bold, navlinks font-style italic. These two lines have to come after any at import. You can have as many at imports as you want, although if you have seven or eight or ten or twelve you're probably overdoing it, but you can have them as long as they are all at the beginning of the style sheet, before any other rules come in. So that is one thing to keep in mind, if you're going to be combining imported style sheets and regular style rows in the same embedded style sheet.

How do I put it online so the whole world can see it?
I don't understand what WAMP5 is all about. I was only able to set it up because I followed step-by-step directions from someone's website!
