booomerrranganggboobooomerranrang: Nancy Holt's networked video
Nancy Holt, Boomerang (1974), still from video.
In her time on this planet, Nancy Holt came to be known as a great American Land Artist, and certainly her brilliant installations, like Utah's Sun Tunnels and collaborations with her partner Robert Smithson and their peers, are profoundly significant, but it was her work in film & video that has had the greatest personal impact on me.
I somehow didn't see Boomerang, her 1974 video performance usually credited to her collaborator Richard Serra, until I was a Ph.D. student in Linda Williams's Phenomenology of Film seminar at UC Berkeley's Rhetoric program, but the time delay was more than made up for by the work's formative resonance. In the video, made during Serra's residency at a Texas television station, a young Holt is seen sitting in an anchor's chair before a staid blue background. Despite brief station ID graphic overlays and one minute of silence in the midst of the ten-minute piece (announced as audio trouble and reminding viewers of the work's live TV origin), the work is in many ways sound-centric.
Sound and Image in Electronic Harmony
On Saturday, April 11th, New York's School of Visual Arts will co-present the 2009 Visual Music Marathon with the New York Digital Salon and Northeastern University. Promising genre-bending work from fifteen countries, the lineup crams 120 works by new media artists and digital composers into 12 hours. If it's true, as is often said, that MTV killed the attention spans of Generations X and Y, this six-minute-per-piece average ought to suit most festivalgoers' minds, and the resultant shuffling on and off stage will surely be a spectacle in its own rite. In all seriousness, this annual event is a highlight of New York's already thriving electronic music scene and promises many a treat for your eyes and ears. The illustrious organizers behind the marathon know their visual music history and want to remind readers that, "The roots of the genre date back more than two hundred years to the ocular harpsichords and color-music scales of the 18th century," and "the current art form came to fruition following the emergence of film and video in the 20th century." The remarkable ten dozen artists participating in this one-day event will bring us work incorporating such diverse materials as hand-processed film, algorithmically-generated video, visual interpretations of music, and some good old fashioned music-music. From luminaries like Oskar Fischinger, Hans Richter, and Steina Vasulka to emerging artists Joe Tekippe and Chiaki Watanabe, the program will be another star on the map that claims NYC as fertile territory for sonic exploration. - Marisa Olson
The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens, Greece, has committed itself to curating a number of recent exhibitions of internet art. Their current show, "Tag Ties and Affective Spies," features contributions from both net vets and emerging surfers, including Christophe Bruno, Gregory Chatonsky, Paolo Cirio, JODI, Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, Les Liens Invisibles, Personal Cinema and The Erasers, Ramsay Stirling, and Wayne Clements. The online exhibition takes an antagonistic approach to Web 2.0, citing a constant balance "between order and chaos, democracy and adhocracy." Curator Daphne Dragona raises the question of whether the social web is a preexisting platform on which people connect, or whether it is indeed constructed in the act of uploading, tagging, and disclosing previously private information about ourselves on sites like Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook. Dragona asks whether we are truly connecting and interacting, or merely broadcasting. While her curatorial statement doesn't address the issue directly, the show's title hints at the level of self-surveillance in play on these sites. Accordingly, many of the selected works take a critical, if not DIY, approach to the internet. The collective Les Liens Invisibles tends to create works that make an ironic mash-up of the often divergent mantras of tactical media, culture jamming, surrealism, and situationism. In their Subvertr, they encourage Flickr users to "subverTag" their posted images, creating an intentional disassociation between an image's content and its interpretion, with the aim of "breaking the strict rules of significance that characterize the mainstream collective imaginary..." JODI's work, Del.icio.us/ winning information (2008) exploits the limited stylistic parameters of the social bookmarking site. Using ASCII and Unicode page titles to form visual marks, a cryptic tag vocabulary, and a recursive taxonomy, their fun-to-follow site critiques the broader content of the web ...
Reappearance of the Undead
In 1997, internet art hall-of-famer Olia Lialina made a "net drama" called Agatha Appears that was written for Netscape 3 and 4 in HTML 3.2. One of the main features of the interactive narrative was the travel of the eponymous avatar across the internet. Let's just say the girl got around. But the magical illusion of the piece was that she appeared to stay still, even when links in the narrative were clicked and the viewer's address bar indicated movement to another server. But in time, both the browser and code in which the story was written became defunct and the piece unraveled as the sites previously hosting the links and files upon which Agatha was dependent disappeared or cleaned house. Such a scenario is common to early internet art (and will no doubt continue to plague the field), as ours is an upgrade culture constantly driving towards new tools, platforms, and codes. Many have debated whether to let older works whither or how it might be possible to update these works, making them compatible with new systems. For those who are interested, some of the best research on the subject has been performed by the folks affiliated with the Variable Media Initiative. Meanwhile, luddites and neophiles alike are now in luck because Agatha Appears has just undergone rejuvenation. Ela Wysocka, a restorer working at Budapest's Center for Culture & Communication Foundation has worked to overcome the sound problems, code incompatibilities, and file corruption and disappearance issues, and she's written a fascinating report about the process, here. And new collaborating hosts have jumped in line to bring the piece back to life, so that like a black and white boyfriend coming home from war, Agatha now offers us a shiny new webring as a token of ...
In the Future-Past Tense
The fantasy of the future and the utopian promises of new technologies have always gone hand-in-hand. If the history of technology's evolution tells the story of our culture, we can also trace our present-day novelties back to the root of our anxieties about the future and the problems these devices hoped to solve. With this correlation in mind, the interactive DVD novel The Imaginary 20th Century (2007) by Norman Klein, Margo Bistis, and Andreas Kratky, jumps back to the fin de siècle era between the 19th and 20th centuries. It was a time of wonder when new technologies and their representation were wedded in documents like panoramic films of public light shows and short actualities about newfangled transportation devices called roller skates. The novel tells the story of "the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, and the story of a woman (Carrie), who in 1901, selects four men to seduce her, each with his own version of the new century" in a recombinatory visual narrative that overlaps 2,200 images culled from primary documents, architectural plans, photos, and other ephemera with an original score. The project speaks to the multiplicity of visions circulating about what the new century would hold, and it's an even more past-tense follow-up to Norman Klein's interactive novel, Bleeding Through: Layers of Los Angeles, 1920-1986 (2003). Klein's work has clearly resonated with at least eleven people, because closing this week at Otis College of Art and Design's Ben Maltz Gallery is "The Future Imaginary," an exhibition that responds to The Imaginary 20th Century with the work of artists Deborah Aschheim, Jeff Cain, Tom Jennings, Jon Kessler, Ed Osborn, Lea Rekow, Douglas Repetto, Phil Ross, Kari Rae Seekins and Aaron Drake, and Susan Simpson. Each contribution embodies the special genre of ...
Re: Surveillance Art
depends on how you define surveillance. would you include
packet-sniffing (a la RSG)? would you include "watchdog" parody (a la
RT Mark)? would you include google spiders? of course issues of
tactical media & open source could sneak in here, too...
there are many surveillance-related projects referenced here, around

Killer Shots/Moving Targets at Camerawork
about the two exhibitions opening Tuesday, at SF Camerawork. Key
details are below and you can find more online, including info on
lectures by Rebecca Solnit, Ed Kashi, and Glenda & Jesse Drew, at
One year after going to war with Iraq,
Two exhibitions exploring the face of war
and the character of resistanceS
KILLER SHOTS: A Photographic Response to War
Curated by Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago
February 17-March 20, 2004
Opening Reception: Tuesday, February 17, 2004, 5-8 pm
Killer Shots: A Photographic Response to War begins with images from
the Vietnam War, often referred to as the first picture war, setting
the photographic yardstick for photographers who risk their lives
showing the atrocity of human violence. These photographs are
imbedded in our visual memory and, brought together, force us to
examine what we've learned about war and humankind over the past
thirty years.
Artists: Abbas, Eddie Adams, David Burnett, Larry Burrows, Horst
Faas, Lori Grinker, Jean Gaumy, Matt Harnett, David Leeson, Marta
Lopez, Alex Majoli, Steve McCurry, Don McCullin, Susan Meiselas, Joel
Meyerowitz, Jon Mills, James Nachtwey, Sebastiao Salgado, Larry
Towell, Nick Ut, Sal Veder, and Alex Webb.
MOVING TARGETS: The Art of Resistance
Curated by Marnie Gillett and Chuck Mobley
February 17-March 20, 2004
Opening Reception: Tuesday, February 17, 2004, 5-8 pm
Starting with the foundation laid in Killer Shots, this companion
exhibition draws its inspiration from the strong protest movement
surrounding the US war in Iraq. The five Bay Area artists in this
exhibition take a measured look at the weighty causes and varied
consequences of war and offer an alternative view to traditional
photojournalistic interpretation.
Artists: Shingo Annen, Glenda Drew, Jesse Drew, Kenneth Hung, Ed
Kashi, and Claudia Leger.

May 11 - June 12, 2004
Opening Reception: Tuesday, May 11, 5-8pm
A contemporary, photo-based redux of Pop Art arguments about the
context of image-production, the work in this exhibition takes as its
marrow the material of moving image culture. Segments of popular
films, television programs, and screen-based video games are
deconstructed and repurposed as meditations on mainstream
image-making and its cultural import. Each project is at once
accessible-even fun!-by virtue of its relationship to pop culture,
while simultaneously revealing the deeper cumulative effects of our
relationship to its content. Ultimately, we are invited to consider
the impacts these popular lens-based genres have had upon the ways in
which we choose to look at the world.
Artists: Cory Arcangel, Anthony Discenza, Alex Galloway, Jennifer &
Kevin McCoy, Paul Pfeiffer
* This exhibition will be accompanied by an issue of Camerawork: A
Journal of Photographic Arts, featuring major essays by Philip
Sherburne, Mark Tribe, and Jose Luis de Vicente, among others.

xhtml, xml, and html..?
just missed it (a disclaimer i feel the need to posit since, in some
ways, we all seem tired of html discussions), but i'd be interested
in some of the practitioners' takes on the state of html and the
creative, "artistic" significance of xhtml or xml. in particular
(though not exclusively), does this shift allow for the addition of
finer meta-level analysis/reading of info-organizational/navigational
just curious what people think...

New Media Education and Its Discontent
reader list. thought some here might be interested...
i'm particularly interested in the discussion of "the apparent
tension between teaching theory and
production." it does seem (given my own experiences as a perpetual
phd student) that so many of the programs have this polarized,
alienating curricular dichotomy going and i have found myself
frustrated at the lack of middle ground. when i was in the uk, it
impressed me that art practice programs had theoretical research
components built into their degrees, whereas the two are so separated
in the US. in the context of the media arts, there seems to be a bit
more of an impetus to "present" both, but my sense is that many of
the people steering the programs are doing so under the mark of
intimidation by the so-called "new" media and, also--more
importantly, that there is a general lack of synthesis between
criticism/theory and practice. so that courses will focus on the
"right" new media readings, and possibly introducing critical theory
vets (jameson, baudrillard, foucault, etc.) in this light, but
without engaging with an application of those ideas to a reading of
any real art work. and, on the other hand, there are nuts & bolts
practice courses that (perhaps sprouting out of the
anti-intellectualism scholz mentions) snub theory as divorced from
their engagement with director or perl, and focus simply on
the rapid development of the technologies (hard and soft) associated
with "new media" is a bittersweet thing. book production timelines do
not jive with software upgrades. this we know. but, still, it would
be great if the "production" (and hiring!) of scholars equally
engaged in practice and criticism (not that i don't seem criticism as
a sort of practice, and vice-versa!) and comfortable merging the two
would catch up to the work.
my two cents...

Q&A: Will the doctor be there throughout labor and delivery?
Will my doctor be with me during my entire delivery? And if not, when will she arrive?
When it is time to deliver your baby, your doctor (or one of the doctors from your healthcare group) will be there to welcome your little one into the world. But during the time leading up to the delivery of your baby (that is, during labor) your doctor will probably not be with you as much as you would imagine. A big percentage of your labor is spent with your nurse. However, your doctor will be there to assess you when you first arrive at the hospital and will continue to check you at various times as labor progresses. She will also be there when it is time to deliver the baby, and immediately after delivery. Which leads to the next question.
What will my nurse do for me?
Your nurse will do a lot for you! She monitors your progress by watching contractions, and assessing cervical dilation. She may start your IV for you.
Your nurse will document your whole birthing event (so chances are you'll see her writing a lot). Your nurse will stay in contact with your doctor throughout your labor, keeping her updated on your progress. She will hold your hand, answer your questions, and help you decide how best to manage your pain (she can help you take a shower, go for a walk, or get an epidural from the anaesthesiologist). When it is time to push she will assist you and coach you.
When your baby is born your nurse will dry the baby, weigh her, place identification bands on her—and wrap her in a warm blanket and hand her to you!

Putting aside the awful, idiotic, late-to-the-game, baldly misogynistic content of this steaming pile, it's typical that Fox News distinguishes itself by being the kind of news network that would use the term 'banging bodies' in a headline. Family values!
Also, what even IS this paragraph:
"But Keagan et al didn't come out of nowhere. Some of our favorite "old-skool" sitcom stars like Jennifer Aniston, Jane Krakowski and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have transformed themselves in recent years from somewhat awkward to stylish sex symbols."
Aaaaaare you fucking kidding me?
46% of Mississippi Republicans say inter-racial marriage should be illegal, to 40% who say it should be legal. And it seems Palin does better with the racist crowd.Palin's net favorability with folks who think interracial marriage should be illegal (+55 at 74/19) is 17 points higher than it is with folks who think interracial marriage should be legal (+38 at 64/26.)Barbour is the GOP favorite in the state, unless you look at just the ban-inter-racial-marriage crowd, then Huckabee jumps to the head of the list.If Barbour makes a bid for the White House, he would have home-state support. His 37% in an eight-candidate field puts him at almost a 2:1 advantage over the next contender, neighboring Arkansas' Mike Huckabee, who earns 19%. Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin each get 10%, with Mitt Romney back at 6%, Michele Bachmann at 5%, Tim Pawlenty at 3%, and Ron Paul at 2%, with 9% undecided or preferring someone else.The south, and the Republican party, still have a serious racism problem. And Mississippi is at the head of the pack. And what's really sick is that 46% of Republicans were willing to admit to a stranger (pollster) that they don't approve of the mingling of the races. Imagine how high the REAL number is.
Without Barbour in the race, Huckabee gets most of Barbour's supporters, jumping up to 35%, followed by Palin's 20%, Gingrich's 18%, and Romney still way behind at 8%, and the others pretty much running in place. Romney has typically done poorly in Southernstate primary matchups in recent PPP polls, but this is his worst performance yet.
46% of these hardcore Republican voters believe interracial marriage should be illegal, while 40% think it should be legal. With Barbour included, Huckabee gets more support (22%) from the former than the latter (15%), as does Palin (13-6). The support for Bachmann (10-2), Gingrich (13-8), and Pawlenty (4-1) works the opposite way.
This does not surprise me at all.

The identity of the 9-year-old tragically killed in this morning's deadly rampage is Christina Taylor Greene.
Family says she was vibrant, excited about life, and she was the "best daughter in the world."
Born on September 11, 2001, Greene was excited about the political process, was on the student government, and went to the Giffords event today to learn more about the political process, family members say.
Greene attended Mesa Verde Elementary School. She was the only girl on the CDO baseball team - she loved the sport, as well as horseback riding and swimming.

Federal Minister for the Environment and Heritage
The Hon Dr David Kemp, MP
Monday, 2 June 2003
Dr Kemp: Thank you all for coming. There's great news today. This is a wonderful announcement by the Government that I'm very proud to be able to make.
It follows of course on the announcement two weeks ago of the Water Protection Plan for the Great Barrier Reef. That's the Plan that was developed with the Government of Queensland and it's designed to ensure that the water flowing into the reef is of greatly improved quality in the future to minimise that particular pressure on the Reef environment.
The Great Barrier Reef is suffering very considerable pressures at the moment from increasing usage by tourists, by fishers, by the local communities and it's very important that we give the reef proper protection for the future. The Reef is Australia's greatest natural icon. It's vitally important for all Australians that the Reef is properly protected and that's what this Plan is all about. The Plan that I'm announcing today is going to increase the area of the reef, subject to high protection, from 16,000 square kilometres to 114,000 square kilometres- that's an increase from just under 5% to over 30% of the reef that will now be highly protected through the green zones.
These zones are going to mean that there will be much better opportunities for recreational fishers to see improved catches and much larger fishes on the Reef.
It means that there will be greatly improved security for the billion dollar tourist industry on the Reef. We've got one of the world's most important tourist locations in the Great Barrier Reef. It's the world's largest world heritage area. It supports a billion dollar tourist industry. The tourist industry is right behind this Plan.
And the reason for that is that that's what they sell. They sell the life, the biodiversity, the health of the Great Barrier Reef. And this Plan is going to secure that for the future.
The other point I'd like to make is that this plan arises from a very extensive process of community consultation. There were 10,000 submissions into the process that led to this draft Plan. Now that we've got the draft plan we're putting it out for public discussion and response. Those responses will be due in by the 4th of August and we'll be listening very closely to what all Australians that respond to the draft Plan had to say about it. Because it's a genuine process of consultation that I'm very confident that what we have here is a draft protection plan for the reef that is going to work, it's going to do the job and it's going to have minimal impact on existing uses of the reef. So I feel very confident that we're going to get very strong community support for this.
Question: …protection your ultimate ambition, Minister?
Dr Kemp: Well the key thing is that the Reef be able to be put on a sustainable basis for the long term future. Everybody wants to feel not only that they can enjoy the Barrier Reef but that their children will enjoy it and their grandchildren will enjoy it.
And what we're now announcing today is a protection plan that will make sure that future generations have access to a healthy, vibrant, great Barrier Reef.
Question: It's only 30%. Why not 100%?
Dr Kemp: Well this is based on the science. The whole Plan is based on science. And what the scientists tell us is that you have to protect a minimum amount of the Reef. And they say around about 20 to 25% would provide the absolute minimum protection for the diversity that is in the Great Barrier Reef.
Question: Does that mean that 70% is not worth protecting?
Dr Kemp: What we've put in place is a plan that is going to protect significantly more than the minimum protections that the scientists are talking about, a plan that is going to protect each of the 70 bio-regions of the Reef and put the Great Barrier Reef on a long term sustainable basis.
Question: Can you guarantee that 30%, that 30% won't change at any time through the consultation period that we will see coming up now? Will it be maintained at 30%?
Dr Kemp: Well I fully expect that out of these consultations, as we hear what the responses of people are, that we will make adjustments to the draft plan. But I'm equally confident that we will see the level of protection that is in this draft plan maintained for the Reef.
What we are looking about is to make sure that the Reef is properly protected. The consultations are to make sure that this protection is done in a way which has minimal impact on existing uses while maximising the protection to the Reef itself.
Question: Well you can't guarantee that it won't drop down to 20%?
Dr Kemp: I'm sorry?
Question: Once the consultation is over, [indistinct]….?
Dr Kemp: Well the aim will be to first of all, of course, process the results of the consultation. The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority will look very closely at the comments that they've received. If the response is anything like the response in the consultations leading up to the draft plan with 10,000 submissions, that's going to take some time.
But it will then put a series of proposals to me based on that, that will be the basis for my final submission to the Parliament of the regulations.
Question: But if you can't guarantee that the Government…
Dr Kemp: Well I would certainly hope so. I would certainly hope so.
Question: But if you can't guarantee…
Question: Without this plan, what would you expect to happen in the future?
Dr Kemp: Well the science is already telling us that the Reef is suffering because of the pressures that it's under at the moment. We've seen particularly a deterioration in the quality of the water in the inner lagoon of the Reef. The in-shore reefs are already suffering very badly. The vulnerability of the Reef to climate change is also greater if the water quality is not protected. That's why we put in place the Water Quality Protection Plan.
There's also the pressure from exploitation of the Reef, particularly through fishing. We're seeing a decline over quite a significant period of time in fishing stocks. Some species like coral trout are being targeted by both legal and illegal fishing and we need to protect the Reef very strongly against that.
One of the very interesting things that comes out of the science, both here and overseas, is that within these green zones - so within the highly protected zones - we can expect to see a significant increase in fish populations. We can expect to see the size of the fish increasing. And as these populations increase, we will see more and more of these larger sized fish spreading beyond the protected zones. And so they're going to be available to the recreational and commercial fishers who depend on the Reef.
Question: But Minister, can you guarantee that it won't drop down to 20%, that it will be maintained at 30% as outlined in this draft plan?
Dr Kemp: Well the whole aim of this is to provide proper protection of the Reef. We're very confident, and I must say I think the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has done a superb job with this, that the draft plan that we've already got has had minimal impacts for most users.
I was delighted to see the comment from the Chief Executive Officer of Sunfish reported in Townsville today that they are very happy with 90% of the boundaries. Now the recreational fishers started off with a great deal of concern over this process. Because of the process of consultation that we've gone through, because of the discussions with bodies like Sunfish and the recreational fishers, we've now got a plan which balances very effectively the interests of the users of the Reef with the needs of the Reef for the longer term.
Question: So it's more likely that we'll see a range of 20 and 30%, not 30%?
Dr Kemp: No, I'm not making any comment about that at all. I mean we put out a Plan which provides protection above 30% and that's a level of protection that is going to put the Reef on a long term sustainable basis. That's the objective of this whole exercise and, because the Plan has minimal impacts on existing users, I expect that the Plan that will finally come through this process will be very, very similar to the draft plan that's being released today.
Question: Do you expect the Prime Minister will be announcing at the weekend that he's staying on to lead the Party to the next election?
Dr Kemp: Well I'm not going to make any comment at all about that. Whatever the Prime Minister says is entirely up to him and I can assure you we're very happy.
Question: Would you like him to stay at the helm though?
Dr Kemp: Thanks very much.
Question: Would you like the issue settled sooner rather than later, to give everyone a bit of certainty?
Dr Kemp: Look, it's - everyone is delighted with the strong national leadership that the Prime Minister is offering. And whatever he decides to do is what the Liberal Party and the Government will support. The Prime Minister has offered immensely important leadership to Australia. Thank you.

New exhibit at Geppi's Entertainment Museum celebrates Colorforms' 60th anniversary
Colorforms®: 60 Years of Creative Storytelling runs September 2012-Winter 2013
(BALTIMORE, September 30, 2012) – In 1951 struggling art students Harry and Patricia Kislevitz were trying to save money by finding cheap alternatives to paint. One effort saw the young couple applying pieces of thin vinyl sheeting to shiny and painted surfaces. The sheeting wouldn't stick permanently: it peeled off. They found a different, fun application for the sheeting, the Kislevitzes left rolls in their bathroom, where houseguests could cut out shapes with scissors and give the walls creative makeovers.
"Our friends would... do the most marvelous Matisse things on the wall," Patricia remembered. Then an idea hit: pliable, restickable vinyl bits might also be ideal "imaginative play" tools for kids. Here was a way to learn about shapes, learn about colors—and decorate walls without making a mess.
What to name the toy? "Let's call it what it is: color forms," Patricia said.
The first commercial Colorforms sets consisted of basic circles, triangles, and straight-line designs; but soon, expanded play sets brought pop culture icons into the mix that became best known for their signature plastic 'Stick-Ons™' that can be placed and repositioned on top of graphic backgrounds to create endless scenes at a child's whim. Spinach-gulping Popeye punched-in first; Garfield, Spider-Man, Barbie, and Batman are among the popular properties that followed.
Devoted toy inventors never rest on their laurels after one success—they soldier onward in search of more. The Kislevitzes exuberantly expanded the line; branching out with sets that incorporated new concepts or tied into the hot icons of the day and sometimes both.
"We're delighted to be a part of this wonderful retrospective on Colorforms, a brand that has always encouraged kids to engage their visual and verbal creativity through storytelling," says Moss Kardener, Director of University Games' Colorforms division. He adds, "Often toys need something instantly identifiable to appeal to young children and parents who typically purchase our products. That's why Colorforms has tapped into the wealth of licensed character properties over the years."
In the 60 years since the first Colorforms set debuted, the line has incorporated licensed characters from cartoons, TV shows, movies and the characters of their own creation. The GEM exhibit draws from an extensive collection, which features a variety of sets from the products inception to the modern day. Visitors can not only view a wide assortment of original sets, but can also interact with two giant Colorforms boards, which are designed to look like the boards that came with the original sets in 1951.
About the Exhibit & Geppi's Entertainment Museum
Colorforms®: 60 Years of Creative Storytelling opened September 30st this year and runs through winter 2013. Geppi's Entertainment Museum at Camden Yards is located at 301 W. Camden St. 2nd Floor, Baltimore, MD 21201. For additional details log on to www.geppismuseum.com or facebook.com/geppismuseum, or call 410-625-7060. Group tours are welcome, and admission is free to museum members.

I was taking a walk and came across a woman who works in the cafeteria where my children attend school. We had a nice conversation and in passing I mentioned how I use peppermint oil for my son's car sickness. She told me a teacher had shared peppermint oil with her and it got rid of her headache. She asked if I had one and I did so I brought it to her.
When I dropped it off she was rubbing her elbow and commented on how it had been bothering her. I suggested she rub the peppermint on it, she was surprised but open to trying this. The next day she posted a great story on my facebook page ..she loved the peppermint, she applied it to her elbow and the pain went away, and she was albe to sleep through the night for the first time in a couple of months! I love peppermint....it can be used for so many things.

Swirl Wine News
the swirl set
Stephan Asseo - Vigneron, Stephan Vineyards/L'Aventure Winery
Stephan Asseo, former owner of the Domaine de Courteillac winery in Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, brought his 15 years of winemaking experience to the emerging Paso Robles, CA winemaking region in 1998. There, he combines his passion for tradition and experimentation with an appreciation for terrior and technology. Stephan grows grapes indigenous to Bordeaux as well as Rhône varietals, and sells his wine under the L'Aventure and Stephan Ridge labels.
Swirl spoke with Stephan (over a glass of his 2002 Roussanne) about his personal and professional journey, and his views on life and winemaking in Paso Robles.
How did your wine journey begin?
I purchased my first wine property in 1982 in Bordeaux. My first vintage was 1982, and 2003 will be my 21st, so now I have 21 years of winemaking and growing experience. I'm a city boy, born in Paris, but I've wanted to be an agricultural guy since I was young. It's a passion. My parents were a little bit scared; we had no [farming] roots in our family and their kid wanted to be a farmer! Buy my Dad said "OK, if you want to become a farmer and live in the country - you could grow some cereal, but maybe making wine and winegrowing would be more noble." So he oriented me more towards this track than another one. Slowly, I discovered the world of wine and fell in love with it. I did an internship and then [attended] a school in Macon, Burgundy where I learned winemaking and growing.
Was there an event when you were a young boy in Paris that sparked your wine interest?
Both my mother and father were wine lovers in the French tradition, where food and wine is a way of life. Maybe I was educated subconsciously with that around.
What was it about life and winemaking in Bordeaux that motivated you to look elsewhere?
I did 17 vintages in Bordeaux. In France you have regulations like Appellation d'Origine Contrô'lée (AOC), which means that everything that is not [specifically] allowed is forbidden. The weather isn't consistent like it is in California, so each vintage is a new story. That means you put yourself in question every year. That's what I love about this job, even in California! But after 17 years in Bordeaux, I had the impression that I'd done my time, more or less. At the end, when the success arrived, I was doing more PR - like restaurant lunches with buyers - than doing what I really love in this job.
On top of my own property in Bordeaux, I had a small consulting company, which meant a crazy schedule. So, my family was ready to make a move! We thought about Spain, South Africa, Australia, and America. Finally, we decided on California, because what I love about winemaking and growing here is that you still have no legislation about production. It's a free field of experimentation.
I've seen you referred to as a "renegade." What's that all about?
Maybe the word is too strong, but I'm a renegade because I'm doing something that's not very conventional. My idea when I came to Paso Robles was to not make a copy of something that already existed. I don't want to make a copy of a Rhône blend, I don't want to make a copy of Bordeaux. I was ready to adapt myself to the new terrior, to the new weather, to my new location. I make a Cabernet-Syrah blend, which is completely unusual, but with a touch of Zinfandel and a touch of Petit Verdot. I've spoken of it as a "bastard" blend, which is not very politically correct, but my focus is to make a blend that's representative of Paso Robles, specifically the west side of Paso Robles.
How did you choose the varietals that you grow?
First, because of the climate and the terrior. I don't try to add to nature, to do what the market wants. I try to make the best of what nature is giving to me. After making what I think is the best, I try to put that on the market. It's not a marketing approach, it's not a businessman's approach. It's a vigneron approach. I try to find the best balance between the growing cycle for each variety. Most of my varieties, like Cabernet Sauvignon, Mouvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Petit Verdot, have a longer cycle of maturation. The longer the cycle of the maturation, the more complexity you have in your fruit.
Blending is truly a wonderful mix of art and science. How do you approach blending in your wines?
My blending starts in the field, where I have the different varieties growing. My goal is not to make a "style" - I'm not a wine factory. Each vintage has its own personality; my goal is to find the best wine for the vintage. Three or four months after the harvest, when the wines start to be finished, I try 20 different combinations in a first blind tasting. This first selection is to say: "That's fantastic, that will go to L'Aventure" (my first brand) "and that will go to Stephan Ridge" (my second label). [Ultimately] I make a selection of 8-10 combinations and organize a second blind tasting with some friends, and not just winemakers. I want a spectrum of sensitivity that is bigger than just professionals! The winner of this last test - although it's me that has the final decision - is the Optimus, my flagship wine.
You've been recognized with high critical "scores" for your wines. What do you think about the whole concept of "grading" wines?
I'll give you the [same] answer that I give my customers when they come to the winery. First, I am a vigneron, so I'm making wine with my terrior, not making a wine for a market. When I make a bottle, I imagine my wine being enjoyed with some food, with some people, and not just being judged like a tasting wine. We need journalists like they need us; it's a kind of partnership. From my point of view as a producer, we don't have to go so far to make wines that they love. I make no concessions about what I like and they like it, too. If I was just hunting a score, I know the recipe to make wine that will get a big score. But I try to be authentic with myself. Wine has to stay drinkable, so I try to make wine that is drinkable.
What do you drink when you're not working so hard?
For me, wine is a way of life. It's a way to share good times and good food. When I left Bordeaux and tasted the first California wine, I found those wines too much, too ripe. Today, I drink more California wine than European wine. Now, when I go back to France and retest Bordeaux wines, I find them a bit austere, not ripe enough. I need some time to re-adapt my palate and my mind. So we change, you know!
What was the last glass of wine you had?
It was a nice bottle of Linne Calodo from Paso Robles. It's a small, small winery run by Matt Trevisan. He doesn't have his own vineyard, but purchases good fruit.« Back to Press Index

Articular cartilage is the tissue located at the end of bones. It can deteriorate over time. This causes a common condition called osteoarthritis. It becomes worse over time. It can be debilitating.
Normally, cartilage is the shock absorber in a joint. It absorbs energy from jarring movement, protecting the bone and other tissue in the area. Cartilage is naturally a very slippery material. It helps the joint glide smoothly. When the cartilage begins to show wear and tear, the lining of the joint becomes inflamed and painful. This makes the joint stiff.
Joints Affected by Osteoarthritis
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Osteoarthritis is an extremely common ailment of aging. In fact, it's the most common joint condition throughout the world. Researchers believe that there are more than 20 million people with osteoarthritis in the US alone. More than half of all people over the age of 65 have arthritis in at least one joint. Researchers think that nearly everyone over the age of 75 has some degree of osteoarthritis. If you've had an injury to a joint, you may develop osteoarthritis at a younger age.

are co-operating with the Police.

Garlic destroys cancer cells and may disrupt the metabolism of tumor cells, says Karen Collins, RD, nutrition advisor to the American Institute for Cancer Research. "Studies suggest that one or two cloves weekly provide cancer-protective benefits."
"Let garlic sit for 10 to 15 minutes after chopping and before cooking so the active form of the protective phytochemicals develops," says Collins. Saute fresh garlic over low heat and mix with pasta, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese.

Hi Almighty Bob,
I think we're more or less saying the same thing. Defense is not, point for point, better than parry as you say - and thus is not a stackable stat when it comes to crafting an avoidance set. This is through practical experience as well as hard theoretical fact. I have a avoidance set, and not one gem or enchant is defense orientated.
While I think it is possible, of course, to put a lot of defense up - somewhere in the range of 600 - and reach the necessar avoidance numbers, it's not something that is advisable to do. Even with a mixture of other stats pushing that much defense just doesn't make theoretical sense. Other stats simply offer better returns.
I don't think I've ever said it's good to exchange defense gear for parry/dodge/block/hit/etc. gear. That would be the wrong thing to do. However at the point where it becomes acceptable, as long as it doesn't gimp unnecessarily your other stats, is when you have 490 defense. Which is what the point of this article was about - that there is a cap. An example of this would be the Zul'aman shield in exchange for the Gruul shield (ZA has no +def, Gruul does).
Re: Misses. My intention was not to make this an exhaustive guide to defense. Explaining misses and their relation to tanking is another 1500+ word article. It also doesn't factor into the existence of the practical 490 cap.

Tip: Bring Homemade Pancake Mix on Your Next Trip
I rarely make pancakes at home, but for some reason I always crave them during the long, leisurely mornings of a vacation. And I like to keep those mornings leisurely by bringing along my own DIY pancake mix.
I simply mix together the dry ingredients for my favorite pancake recipe and write the wet ingredients needed on the outside of the bag. I don't have to bother separately packing ingredients like flour, baking soda or baking powder and, even better, making from-scratch morning pancakes is almost as easy as using a boxed mix, but a lot tastier.
Of course, as reader keltrue mentioned in the comments of my post on 10 Things to Pack That Make Cooking on Vacation Easier, you don't have to stop with pancake mix. If you plan on making a certain cake, cobbler or other baking recipe while you're out of town, you can mix together the dry ingredients beforehand and pack them with instructions for mixing in the wet ingredients.
And if you want to make pancake mix in bulk, Alton Brown has a recipe with easy-to-measure proportions — perfect for all those leisurely mornings ahead.
→ Get the recipe: "Instant" Pancake Mix at Food Network
Do you ever make your own baking mixes?

i always have pancake 'mix' at home - it's such an easy go-to on a weekend morning! i love nigella's from nigella express...
Yup, I keep a glass jar of pancake mix on the shelf at home. It's labelled in Sharpie with a little note of how much egg, butter, and milk to add so I don't have to look it up on sleepy-head mornings.
we do this when we travel. I had to do a double take at this photo - that is EXACTLY how I contain and label my pancake mix for vacation! down to the blue painters tape, handwriting and (doubled) recipe.
I make my own pancakes with buttermilk which is awsome but when I am in rush, I use Aunt Jemima all ready buttermilk pancake mix. I found that this cheap supermarket brand tasted and was fluffier than any other gourmet brands I have used.
This is such a good idea to have permanently in the pantry - travelling mix is an added bonus!

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)- A conservative group that wants Congress to defund the Obama administration's health care reform law is bringing its message to Delaware. Thursday evening's event in Wilmington marks the end of a nine-city tour in which Heritage Action for America has been rallying support for its call to defund the Affordable Care Act. Scheduled speakers for the event at the Doubletree Hotel on Concord Pike include Heritage Foundation president and former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, and Rafael Cruz, father of Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My children have been to a lot of schools all over the country because of my husbands line of work. Danebo School has been very good for my children. The teachers, office ladies, the Principal and all the staff are very loving and helpful and they truly make the students feel special and important. I love this school. It's older and smaller and the class sizes are smaller than most in the area. The teacher are excellent! Parent volunteers are welcomed and appreciated.
Danebo is an amazing school!! The teachers and staff are terrific!! Mrs. Railey is a wonderful kindergarten teacher along with help from the amazing Mrs. Baker!!! Ms. McNamara made my son feel so cared about it first grade. Now starting second grade Mr. Peck seems like a very personable guy!! My boys just love Danebo :)
Our experience at Danebo Elementary School has been outstanding! Originally, we had tried to get our children (1st and 3rd grade) into Prairie Mountain school, but were not successful due to their already full classes. Had we gotten in, we would have missed the gem that is Danebo. The staff (office, classroom, library, lunchroom and janitorial) is incredible - so caring and friendly. Do not let the age or location of the school dissuade you from attending. As parents, jump in and become an active part of the PTO, and volunteer when and where you can. Your participation will add so much to your experience as a parent, and it will help your children to feel an added connection to the school. Things we've loved about Danebo: Principal Mari Ford and staff, small school community (you feel like family there), Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB), VIP Assemblies (virtue recognition), and the strong emphasis on reading and math. We are moving out of the area this summer, and are so sad that we have to leave Danebo School. Our family has grown so much here. We feel blessed to have been a part of this wonderful school community, and do not hesitate to recommend it to others.
My child is in kindergarten and although everyone is nice and it is very academic based I feel that my child is more of a number to staff and administration. It is a very superficial atmosphere where my child does not feel happy or valued. It's a very unfortunate way to start an education.
This is my son's 3rd year at Danebo and we love it. There are small student to teacher ratios in the classrooms. Teachers are prepared and on time. The genuinely care about the overall well-being of the students. Core values; respect, perseverance, self-control, tolerance...all very important at Danebo. We love how all of the staff are so caring about their students and their school.
I had 2 children that went to this school for kindergarten and 2nd grade. My nephew had so many emotional problems and the staff, counselor and principle were so supportive and had so many great ideas. He flourished and got better and better throughout the year! Mrs. Healey, the kindergarten teacher, and her helpers are absolutely fantastic. Every child graduated from kindergarten with a love of school.

Long before we enter the working world, wage disparity can occur in the form of allowance.
I don't remember talking to my friends about how much allowance they made, but I am guessing the subject probably came up. As a parent, allowance is definitely something to consider carefully. You don't want to give your child too much nor too little.
-"This is an emergency! I need to know all of your allowances!"
-"Because you are all still friends, even with different allowances! I have to know how you do it."
-"Do we get different allowances?"
-"I don't know, do we?"
From the kids' show Arthur, in the episode More! where Arthur's little sister, D.W., is angry she earns less allowance than her friend.

Great location. Great place to sleep. Its a little hard to find at first, but once you get inside, its absolutely great. The courtyard is wonderful and the lobby is welcoming. The rooms are quite large and cleanly. There is no beating an en suite bathroom either. I had a great time at the Hostal Rico. I would definitely go back.
