A Sales Managers toolkit is their experience and their contacts & relationships withinn the customer base in their sector, so its fair game to take contacts you deal with. So I would say its fair game to contact your regular customers when you move, its up to the customer to decide wether to stick with the sales manager in a new company, or to stick with the existing company with a new sales manager.
What I would say is not fair game, is on their last day exporting the whole customer database and taking that with you.

HP LaserJet 1005 serises printer windows 7 64-bit driver help
Hi there!! Not new to the forum, had an account here, but my acc might have been deleted due to inactivity, not sure, but no problem...
So, here's the deal:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
PC configuration not needed, since there is a printer driver problem...
I looked up on HP support site, which I btw hate, and there is a driver for xp 32-bit, but also saying this printer will not be supported in windows 7. Tried over device manager, over add a printer, not working, it just won't work...
Is there anyway to use some printer driver to install this one or are there drivers for xp 64-bit which, I believe will work on win 7 64 bit... I haven't been able to get my hands on two PC's which have xp and win 7 32 bit to try that out... Anyone had any luck with this one???
P.S. This is a thread about 1005 printer series, not p1005 printer.

This is the sixth part of a ten part series dedicated to the worst moments or games in the history of the Buffalo Bills. As hard as some of these moments have been, we Bills fans wear our hearts on sleeves and consider some of these events badges of honor. Enjoy.
The 1999 season for the Buffalo Bills was a highly anticipated one. Expectations were high after the 1998 season saw the exhumation of Doug Flutie's career that culminated in a playoff berth. You know the guy that threw the famous Hail Mary pass as a Boston College Eagle to beat the Miami Hurricanes on the last play?
Let's back up to the 1998 season. Along with acquiring Flutie from the CFL where he played eight years and won three Grey Cups, they signed quarterback Rob Johnson. Johnson was coming off a stellar year for the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he was often injured but effective when healthy. Johnson was a star at USC, leaving the team with most of the passing records at the time and spending most of his senior season as a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. Newly minted head coach Wade Phillips called the acquisition of Johnson the "start of a new era" in Buffalo.
For all the hope the 1998 season offered, it started off as a dud with three straight losses to the Chargers, Dolphins and Rams. To make matters worse, Johnson was terrible. The Rams game was the team's home opener and failed to sell out which showed the organization that the fan base didn't have much confidence in him.
Johnson redeemed himself two weeks later after the bye week when the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers came to town. The Bills came out gunning by throwing deep the very first play of the game and it was all Buffalo as they won 26-21.
The next week they travelled to Indianapolis and the history of the team would be changed forever. Rob Johnson would suffer an injury early in the game and in came Doug Flutie. At the time Flutie's skills were a big question mark. He came to the NFL a decorated CFL veteran; but had a less than stellar career in the big show, which was in the 1980's. Plus fans were softening up to Johnson a bit after taking down the Niners the week before. Flutie led the Bills to victory that day against the Colts and was named the starter for the immediate future as Johnson's injury would keep him out for some time.
The next week at home against the Jaguars, who were also unbeaten, more history would be made. With one timeout and a 1:50 left, Doug Flutie led a drive that culminated in a 4th and goal naked bootleg on the goal line that won them the game. The pint sized quarterback also won over the hearts of the fans and "Flutie Mania" was off and running.
For the rest of the season, save the last game when Johnson was given the nod, Flutie was entrenched as the starter as the Bills went 7-3. The Bills lost to the Dolphins in the first round of the playoffs, but the season was already billed as a success. Buffalo was ready to move forward with Doug Flutie as their starting quarterback.
The 1999 season started out as a success in which the Bills ultimately kept the momentum from the previous season going. After an opening day loss to the eventual division champion Colts, the Bills rattled off four straight wins. They tacked on two three game winning streaks, and Buffalo was sitting alone in second place and a wild card berth in hand going into their home finale against Indianapolis. Like the previous year, head coach Wade Phillips decided to sit Flutie and let him rest for their first round playoff game the next week. Rob Johnson made the start and was very impressive, guiding the team to a 31-6 victory.
All was well in Bills land. They had a starting quarterback that was playing at an elite level who was also capturing the hearts of football fans everywhere. The defense was one of the best in the history of the franchise. They also had a capable backup in Johnson in which case if Flutie were to get injured, he could step in.
Days later, the collective football world was turned upside down when Phillips named Rob Johnson the starter for the playoff game against Tennessee. Phillips was basing his decision on his performance against the Colts. The media thought he was kidding. The fans thought he was kidding. I'm sure some of the guys on the team thought he was kidding. Is he really going to bench the guy that started 15 games for the team and guided them to a playoff berth? The cold hard truth was yes, Doug Flutie was being benched for the game against the Titans.
The game against the Titans was a cold, gray January afternoon. Perfect Bills weather. The fans were still in shock when Johnson stepped on the field instead of Doug Flutie. To no one's surprise, the defense came to play. Rob Johnson didn't. After a scoreless first quarter, the Titans scored twelve to build themselves a comfortable lead going into halftime. The punch-less Bills offense had no answer for the Titan defense. Tennessee had the crowd, the lead and the momentum. The halftime show consisted of commentators begging the Bills to put Doug Flutie back in there, but sure enough as the second half started so did Johnson. Could it get worse? Never say never in Bills land.
To the surprise of many, Johnson came out looking like a brand new quarterback. He led the Bills to the only touchdown of the third quarter, and Buffalo was right back in it. The fourth quarter was set up to be one for the ages. With 1:48 remaining and Tennessee trailing 13-12, an Al Del Greco 36 yarder put the Titans up 15-13. Johnson had a career drive on the ensuing possession, losing his shoe while completing a first down to keep the Bills in it. He played the last two plays shoeless as time was running out. Steve Christie nailed a 41 yarder to put the Bills up 16-15 with 16 seconds left.
What happened next will go down as one of the most famous(or infamous) plays in NFL history. The Titans knew that Christie's kick will either be a pop up or a squib. So what they did was when the Bills popped it up, the entire special teams flooded one side of the field and left Titan wide receiver Kevin Dyson and a blocker on the other side. They were trying to bait the Bills to follow their flood and leave Dyson and the blocker alone. So when everything went just as the Titans wanted it to, tight end Frank Wycheck threw the ball across the field to Dyson and there was nothing but daylight.
The first thought that ran through everyone's mind was it was a forward pass. It looked like one on TV. The Bills thought it was a forward pass, and of course if it was the play would be negated and all that would be left is for the Bills to board a plane to Indianapolis to play the Colts the next week.
After a few painful minutes, referee Phil Luckett(who has had a long list of blown calls mind you) came out of his "ref tent" and declared it a legal play. Game over. Putting it where mama hides the cookies. Kaput, kablamo, done. And man, did it hurt. In hindsight if he would have called that back the NFL would have had a riot on their hands and Luckett didn't want the blood on his.
The Bills of course have never recovered from the Music City Miracle. It was their last taste of playoff action. The next year Johnson was the starter. Not surprisingly he struggled and Flutie played well when called upon. But the damage was done and Flutie left for greener pastures the next year. Can you blame him?
The world of a Bills fan seems very unfair. The Music City Miracle is a painful reminder of that.

text: Take a look at my emblem. I recently purchased a NOS one. So I am wondering if something can be done to this one to get it repaired? I thought about removing the plastic coating and maybe having it painted gold to go with the gold trim. To me it should have been done like this anyhow. Has anyone done this before? Can it be done. And if not, anyone wanna buy this one?

Getting to the beach was hard for some folks after an accident shut down a portion of M-139 in Berrien County Sunday night.
It happened just after 6 p.m. in Oronoko Township. Newscenter 16 was the only crew on the scene.
Police say a man was driving Southbound when he crossed the center line of the road and fish-tailed, Hitting an oncoming SUV.
The driver of the red car fled on foot into the nearby woods before police arrived. They called in a K-9 unit to help track him down.
The driver of the other vehicle suffered only minor neck and back pain.
"Well my first thought, I talked out loud. I can remember that," said Robert Little, driver of the SUV. "I was saying oh no, I'm going to go in the other lane and hurt somebody. Praise god it didn't happen. So we're ok."
Friends say the driver of the red car had been drinking at the beach all day.
Police are still investigating what caused the crash.

According to a posting by family members on Peter's facebook page, Peter died calmly in his sleep at St. Paul's Hospital, Palliative Care Unit in Saskatoon on December 30.
He was an important figure in information and library science, beloved by many.
Here are some biographical bits:
Peter Scott was born February 14, 1947, in Walthamstow UK and moved to Canada in 1976. He was the Internet Projects Manager in the University of Saskatchewan Library in Saskatoon. Along with another Saskatoon librarian, Darlene Fichter he served as the editor and content developer for many online directories.
He was the creator of HYTELNET (1991), the first electronic browser for Internet resources, developed from 1990. In his 1991 video, Peter demonstrates a later version of HyTelnet, while an archive lists the resources available through the service. Peter wrote a blog, Peter Scott's Library Blog for Credo Reference. Other web creations are: Twitter Compendium, RSS Compendium, Weblogs Compendium, allrecordlabels.com, Blogging The Blues, Peter Scott's Library Blog, Libdex - (Sold in 2005) and Publishers' Catalogues . This reporter (birdie) first met Peter (via internet) when I asked him to add my company to the listing thirteen years ago. In the interim, we remained good virtual friends.
He was also also a blues singer and harmonica player, and had the distinction of winning a Juno Award for having his song "TV Preacher" on the album "Saturday Night Blues" which won "Best Roots and Traditional Music Album" in 1992.
Once more we look back at the notable library happenings of the past year.

Aaron Swartz, an advocate for open access to academic journals, committed suicide in January after being charged with hacking into MIT computers and illegally downloading nearly 5 million academic journal articles from JSTOR, one of the largest digital archives of scholarly journals in the world. At the time of Swartz's death, the 26-year-old faced 13 federal felony computer fraud charges — and the near certainty of jail time.
In this NPR blog All Tech Considered, MIT denied "targeting" the programmer and claimed no wrongdoing. But the report raises concerns about existing university policies and whether MIT should have been actively involved in supporting Swartz.
In a stunning demonstration of Poe's law, the American Historical Association has released a policy statement favoring the restriction digital theses ("with access being provided only on that campus") for fears that open access versions could be read. The basis for this argument is FUD about a tenure system that apparently cannot be changed. See Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle for more coverage.
A decade or so ago, ISI's EndNote bought out most of the competition, practically obtaining a monopoly on the reference manager business. In the early Library 2.0 boom, web-based products like Zotero and CSA's RefWorks became the norm. Thomson Reuters played catch up by introducing EndNote Web, and NoodleBib and other adware/freemium clones cropped up in what is now again a crowded marketplace.
Mendeley, recently purchased by Elsevier, has gained fame by offering social media integration and and sharing cababilities. It notably works on the old Questia model of selling itself directly to individual users, not institutions. ProQuest is also putting the finishing touches on RefWorks Flow, which features similar collaboration tools.
The way these newer products allow users to share articles with peers raises interesting questions about them potentially being used as a new "Napster for subscription journals," especially since they are now both owned by major publishers. See my comment for some more philosophical questions....

The OC outputs fit the Nova's bus nicely. And, by a bizarre twist of coincidence, some of the digit encodings would perfectly match the data intended to be seen on the bus when a certain (reduced!) set of front panel switches were keyed. So, we could boot, step, etc. a preloaded core image without having all of that hardware dangling off the front of the machine.

"Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road." — Jack Kerouac, On the Road
"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." — Jack Kerouac, On the Road
"above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day i walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; i have walked myself into my best thoughts, and i know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it … . health and salvation can only be found in motion … . thus, if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right." - letter to henriette lund, soren kierkegaard
"now all you can do is wait. it must be hard for you, but there is a right time for everything. like the ebb and flow of tides. no one can do anything to change them. when it is time to wait, you must wait." - the wind-up bird chronicle, haruki murakami
"the miracle was that, despite all she had lost, despite all she knew was no longer true— her love alone was not enough, it would always, eventually, come to nothing— still, there was the blind, insistent longing … that this emptiness be filled again." - that night, alice mcdermott
"if my life can ever be of any use to you, come and take it." - the seagull, anton chekov
"the mind i love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind." - the journal of katherine mansfield
Your heart skips a beat ,when love gets gets between each beat.
Here comes the time for my heart to heal the past. From now and then there will be the good and the best.
You gonna graduate in that white tee.
Spongebob: "What do you usually do when i'm gone?" Patrick: "Wait for you to come back." (:
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
To be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?
It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up."
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close." — Pablo Neruda (100 Love Sonnets)
You know that feeling, when your chest caves in and you feel your throat begin to choke up and tears start to fill your eyes? When your body suddenly feels like it only weighs as much as a feather, and your hands begin to show a cold sweat. You feel like you've just been kicked in the stomach due to the amount of oxygen you feel you're suddenly lacking. The trust you once built for this one person quickly shatters and your steel walls rise up faster than the blink of an eye. I have had it bef...

In a sort of public-spirited way, one worries about Times columnist Peter Riddell – as to whether it is really humane to allow somebody so stupid out on his own. One feels he should be locked up in a caring environment for his own safety and fed a diet of mild tranquillisers to calm his fevered brain.
Mind you, even someone as dim as Riddell can get the occasional thing right, as long as it is so blindingly obvious that it scarce needs saying. Thus, one has to agree with the opening statement of his latest column entitled: "Are we ready to be full members of Europe?".
There, our Peter portentously drones that "the real divide over Europe is not about the euro or the constitution but a more basic question: do we want to be full members of the European Union?". So glad you've noticed, Peter.
But, that is the only sentence with any coherence. The rest is not so much downhill all the way, but hurled off a steep precipice into a yawning chasm lined with unspeakable sludge, where it founders in the sticky morass.
"This is a matter of attitude more than institutions; whether we treat other countries as allies rather than as potentially obstructive adversaries", quoth the great Riddell. "Too often, Europe is discussed in negative terms, even by politicians who are ostensibly 'pro'".
What is so dreadfully tedious and predictable here is that the mind of our great scribe clearly has so few brain cells that he cannot get them to connect round that single, illuminating thought that "Europe" is not the European Union, and vice versa.
Without that illumination, everything goes awry. The European Union is, above all else, about institutions. When the European Union is discussed, it is invariable in terms of institutions, and it is the preoccupation of the inwards-looking "Europeans" that they see government in terms of institutions.
Thus, when the European Union is discussed by intelligent Eurosceptics (few enough in number, but there are some) – none of us begin to think of "Europe" in negative terms – how could one be "negative" about a whole continent? But we certainly think of the institutions of the European Union with a wholesome dose of negativity.
Riddell's "implicit theme" is that, in Britain, we are pursuing sensible and successful policies to promote competition and flexibility in the face of global challenges, while the Europeans are inward-looking, sluggish and attached to an outdated social model.
"This analysis of where Europe should be going is largely right", writes Riddell, "but ministers frequently give the impression that Britain alone has the answers. This is not only patronising and tactless, but also mistaken".
All of this, so far, is the build-up and now we get to the meat. Riddell has had a jolly over the weekend, wined and dined at the taxpayers' expense, courtesy of the EPP-ED group in the European parliament, which has been hosting the annual meeting of the European Ideas Network.
This, according to the EPP-ED website is "an open pan-European think-tank process sponsored by the EPP-ED Group". What a "think-tank process" is, heaven only knows, but we are informed that it was launched in the summer of 2002 and designed to promote new thinking on the key challenges facing the countries of the European Union. According to Riddell, at this latest beanfest,
speaker after speaker talked about the risks of losing out from globalisation, specifically the challenges from India and China. Various working groups highlighted, in language which Gordon Brown could easily have used, the need to deliver on the Lisbon agenda of completing the internal market, to axe or cut those areas of EU legislation which inhibit growth, to redefine the European social model and to cut regulation."Nor is it just talk", he writes. Good of him to admit that a lot of it was just that. But we learn that "the Berlusconi, Chirac/Raffarin and Schröder governments are now all pushing through reforms of their welfare, benefit and pension systems". Furthermore, "the Socialists in Spain have also generally stuck to the reformist agenda of the Aznar Government, while José Manuel Durão Barroso, the incoming President of the European Commission, has appointed economics and trade commissioners who are pro-market and free trade".
The trouble with this sort of stuff is that virtually every word needs to be deconstructed and by the time the manifest errors have been revealed, the reader's eyes have long glazed over.
Suffice to say that Riddell, caught up in the euphoria of the moment - and no doubt fortified by good wine – thinks that all this "reform" presents a problem for the British Conservatives.
The "negative emphasis" of the party's public statements gives the impression that the Tories are anti-Europe. "Of course", concedes Riddell, "many Tories privately do want Britain to leave the EU, or at least reach some form of accommodation on a referendum on membership with the UKIP". And that puts those Tories favouring "constructive engagement" with the EU (roughly two thirds of the MEPs) are on the defensive.
At least we know now where the opposition is – it has long been felt that the Tory MEP group is a law unto itself, divorced from the main party, and Riddell kindly confirms this. But his loyalty is with this brave band who are, tragically finding it "hard to get a hearing for the undramatic but vital work of arguing for pro-market measures".
"Whatever you think about the EU constitution", Riddell opines, "Britain undoubtedly gains from the EU internal market". Aaaarggghhhhh.
The most powerful pro-EU speech he has heard recently came from a Tory MEP, "arguing the importance of the talks at the end of this week on the extension of mutual recognition of national rules and authorisations of operators in services". That could not happen outside the EU, says Riddell. Yes, Peter. Go and lie down dear and take your tablets.
Fortunately, Riddell then admits defeat. "Despite the activity of British MEPs of all parties, we remain awkwardly on the outside", he whines.
"It was revealing to see the Spanish, German, Swedish and Belgian Christian Democrats warmly greeting each other as part of the same political family, of which Mr Howard is clearly not a close member. The only British political leader who might have felt at home is Tony Blair, at heart a continental Christian Democrat".
Mr Riddell, does that not tell you something? Do you really think that a construct in which Tony Blair would feel at home is something that we should want anything to do with?

If you are going to buy a video game console, one other thing you are going to need is games.
Here are five shooters perfect for a squad of friends that want to test their mind as well as their trigger-finger.
This will be the game that defines "next-gen" gaming – and here's why.
In a time gone by, multiplayer gaming basically meant gathering some friends round your house. For the console gamers it was huddled round a split screen, but those able to lug around huge PCs had a glorious few years of LAN parties.

Until we figure out how to embed it into this website, the PS1 blog is located here:
Our Blog // May 22, 2014 Filed in Art
the new ps1 // July 12, 2013 Filed in Art
hello dear (sometimes lonely) ps1 blog readers.
today we are taking the first tentative steps into the future. it's fairly anti-climactic (really actually totally anti-climatic, though, speaking as a maker making with the face of an arts organization, one gets used to having to wave your arms to get people's attention) but it's a start. and this marks a small step.
to bring one up to speed:
ps1 the art entity is slightly changing what it is and what it does. this is precipitated by more than a couple things but mainly the move out of our "exhibition space" in the basement of the Jefferson Building (SEE LAST BLOG POST).
this move is allowing us to re-focus our energies on ps·z & the Zenzic Press as well as develop a new mentality towards what we can offer the iowa city arts community. it is an opportunity for us to re-imagine who we are and what we do. here is some of what we are imagining:
• we are still a structure to be utilized for artists (broadly defined to include writers, musicians, thinkers, craftsmen, and all) to produce and present their work
• we will continue to make things happen in two ways: by programming it ourselves and by providing the space and being accessible to what others are programming
• we will continue to grow what we offer (from tools, resources, and workshops at ps·z and zenzic press as well as opportunities for others to have an integral say in what this organization does and becomes)
• we will seek new adventures (including developing more art that is active, alive, and not confined to a single space)
thanks for continuing on with us. we are excited for the bright new future!

We will not be renewing our lease in the Jefferson Building // May 6, 2013 Filed in Art
Dear Ps1-interested people,
As the subject states, we will NOT be renewing the lease in the Jefferson Building. As the discussions of our tenancy this spring and the new lease recently presented to us has made clear, it is time for us to move on.
None of the stipulations of the lease were insurmountable on their own. As a much-loved organization with healthy support, we are confident we could raise enough money to cover a year's worth of rent and utilities. We are creative, flexible, and savvy enough to shift some of our organizations other activities to make up for the barrier of not being able to do live performances (we can and will continue to do these at ps·z!). But the sum of these changes and the philosophical mentality inherent there within don't make sense to us. We figure: if we are going to initiate a large-scale fund-raising campaign ($10,000+), we want it to go towards a long-term solution, not leave us in the same boat this time next year. Ultimately, we want to put our energy towards a space where all our programming is possible and welcome.
We really appreciate all the work that has been done by people in the University business office and UI Foundation this spring in figuring this out for us. And as we've said in the past, we are immensely grateful to the UI Foundation for supporting our organization for the last 5 years. Their gift of space and resources has been an exemplary example of the University fostering a real commitment to the community that ultimately holds it. Management-wise, Dan Black and Steve Elder have taken care of countless legal and structural challenges over the past 5 years. This history of support has been bolstered our organization to the point that we will survive (if not thrive) with this newest change.
Though there may be those that read this loss negatively, this is not our nor the James Gang's stance. To be clear: there will be a hiatus on art exhibitions while we re-imagine new installation spaces and possibilities. We have several ideas along these lines and invite others to get involved with us now as we plan this new exciting future.
As a timeline for vacancy: We are planning on ending all live performances at PS1 in early June. We have a theatre performance that first weekend, one music show scheduled for June 3rd, and a video screening scheduled for June 12th. We are booking no other performances in June to begin transitioning out. Our June exhibition will end June 22nd, and for all intents and purposes will be done with any programming in the basement of the Jefferson Building then.
Thanks again to all who have worked with us on this and helped our organization grow to what it is. ps·z and the Zenzic Press remain testaments to that work and are unfolding in amazing ways we couldn't have foreseen. We look forward to consolidating our efforts and re-creating ourselves once again with more support and dedication to Iowa City's art community.
SOMATOTOPIA // November 26, 2012 Filed in Art, Event, Exhibitions
a group exhibition of tangible art
Opening December 7th, 2012, 6-8 pm
PS1 Gallery
On view through December
PS1 will shift the focus of the gallery experience from visual and distant to haptic, close, embodied, and material. This exhibition will run from Dec. 7-Dec. 28 at Public Space One, with an opening reception from 6-8pm on the 7th. It includes over 30 objects, installations, and events from international, national, and local artists. For example, Luiza Kurzyna's Long Distance, a jacket with interconnected arms, to be worn by two people at once and facilitate a new perspective on limbs, movement, and body. A "reading lounge" will feature a number of artist's books including Tarpaulin Kingdom, by Matt Runkle. Work will be installed and the gallery will be transformed from "white cube" to a full-sensory environment to encourage lingering, hanging out, and the handling of the art/work.
The work submitted via national and international call features a collision of electronic-responsive work, artist's books, textured photography and painting, experimental clothing/textile work, and a series of events, installations, and performances. Curated by Public Space One Program Director, Kalmia Strong, this exhibition continues the PS1 December tradition of combining local and inter/national artists for a group show in Iowa City. "The pieces in this show were chosen to engage sensory participation and subvert the 'gallery experience' by pushing visitors towards either more or less comfort than they would typically feel interacting with artwork."
Accompanying the exhibition are several one-time performances, installations, and workshops.
During the December 7th opening:
Kaloyan Ivanov "Void Simulacrum" (NYC)
Alea Adigweme "Double Bind" (IC)
Mark Drummond Davis "Somatophobia" (IC)
Tiberiu Chelcea "Everyone who…" (Ames)
Workshops (tentative dates, times TBA)
TBA – "The Cocoon Project" featuring work by Sherry Aliberti (NYC)
Sunday, Dec. 9 – "The Body Electric: Honing a Sense of Self" workshop with Elizabeth June Bergman (IC)
Two Exhibition Opportunities… // October 5, 2012 Filed in Art, Exhibitions
for the opportunistic exhibitionists among you. No, that sounds terrible. …for the makers-of-things and PS1 enthusiasts among you. #1: SOMATOTOPIA (our December group show). #2: Spring exhibition series. Scroll down for details!
Public Space One invites submissions for SOMATOTOPIA, a group show of touchable art. This exhibition will shift the focus of the gallery experience from visual and distant to haptic, close, embodied, and material.
Touchable work in all categories is welcome:
created with the intent of touch (eg. installations, artist's books, furniture)
conceptually dependent on touch (eg. ephemeral art, haptic poetry)
typically displayed untouchably (eg. painting, printmaking, sculpture)
time-based/performative (see below)
Artists in time-based media are invited to invent a way that their work can be presented touchably. Proposals for one-time participatory events/happenings/performances/workshops involving touch are also encouraged and will be scheduled throughout December.
Work will be installed and the gallery arranged to encourage lingering, hanging out, and (of course) touching the art. Attendants will be present when the gallery is open, but artists should expect some wear and tear on their work. Work is not insured, and artists must cover the cost of shipping their work both ways. The show will run from Dec. 7-23, 2012, with a public opening reception on the evening of Friday, Dec. 7.
Please submit your name, the title and date of one piece, and up to three digital images and/or 200 words of description by Sunday, November 4 to email@example.com or c/o Public Space ONE 120 N. Dubuque St. Iowa City IA 52245. If your submission has installing and handling specifications/instructions, please detail this. (eg. Your quilt can be hung on the wall AND/OR visitors can wrap it around them.) You will be notified on Sunday, November 11, and physical work must be delivered to Public Space One (129 E. Washington St. Iowa City IA 52240) by Tuesday, November 27. Every effort will be made to include all submissions, but considerations of gallery space and presenting a wide variety of work may limit the work that can be shown.
Public Space One is seeking artists for our SPRING EXHIBITION SERIES……………………
………………. What will happen in 2013? YOU DECIDE.
PS1′s mission is to serve the Iowa City community by providing a venue for innovative, experimental, and challenging contemporary art. We encourage incoming artists to utilize the space for the duration of their exhibition by holding events such as screenings, artist talks, performances, or workshops. While all proposals will be seriously considered, highest priority generally is given to artists whose work moves beyond the walls of the gallery and makes the most of the uniqueness of our space.
Submit a one-page proposal describing your work and explaining how you will use our space. Feel free to include images or other supplemental material. Please email your proposal to firstname.lastname@example.com no later than Friday, October 26.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Our Art Fair Community Forum // June 6, 2012 Filed in Art
Our Art Fair, the exhibition by Hideous Beast, opened at PS1 on Saturday, June 2nd with a forum about the Iowa Arts Festival and its relationship to the various arts communities of Iowa City. A panel of representatives from four of those communities joined us:
Megan Dehner – Gallery Attendant, The Chait Galleries Downtown
John Engelbrecht – Director, Public Space One
Katie Hargrave – Graduate Student, University of Iowa School of Art and Art History
Sean O'Harrow – Director, University of Iowa Museum of Art
We invited the organizers of Summer of the Arts, who are responsible for the Iowa Arts Festival and other programming throughout the summer, but, with the panel happening during the height of the festival, they were unable to attend.
The conversation was lively, informative, and is pushing our thoughts in many new directions. We will continue the conversation in various ways in the coming months. Stop by or send us an email if you would like to join in.
If you were unable to join us Saturday, the audio recording of the conversation is here. We will post video soon.

This week there are two opportunities to check out the studios (and the new space): Drawing Club, Thursday 6/7, 7-9p and Correspondence School, Saturday 6/9, 11a-1p. Please feel free to come by anytime during those activities to see the studios, talk about the ps+z project, and of course, draw and write.
More details on ps+z and studio rental:

Lions and Lambs // February 25, 2012 Filed in Art
2012 has been off to a whirlwind start, and the rest of the spring is set to continue coming in like a lion. Before we get too far ahead, we want to take a moment to stop and look back and forth into the recent past and the distant past, into the ever murkier and brighter future. The January Art Auction was awesome. The whole week of concerts and radio shows and improv and auction and pancakes and more were great. We absolutely could not have done any of it without you – all of you who came, who performed, who donated, who bid, who supported and encouraged every step of the way.
We also could not have done any of it (or any of the other awesome things that happen at PS1) without the help of The James Gang. PS1 was The James Gang's first endeavor almost 10 years ago, above the Deadwood, just down the street from our current location.
PS1 is proud to be the longest running endeavor of The James Gang, which is why we are excited to tell you about a great event happening at an exciting place with even more exciting potential for PS1. On Wednesday, February 29, starting at 6pm, The James Gang is hosting an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner at The Wesley Center. There will be a simple meal of pasta, salad, bread and presentations by PS1 and the other great endeavors of The James Gang (Mission Creek, Reclaiming Roots, and the Iowa Youth Writing Project). It is the perfect time to find out more about The James Gang, PS1, and the other endeavors; meet some awesome people doing and creating great things around town; and get involved.
So, thank you for being great and supportive and encouraging and just you. Leap down to The Wesley Center on the 29th to find out more about The James Gang, how it makes PS1 possible, and the other cool things they are doing around town.
More details + RSVP here.
ps. Stay tuned for all kinds of cool spring time things at PS1.

Thoroughly enjoyedy stay at the hostel. The facilities were great, especially the dry room (much required in Scotland) and the bike shed. The only problem I had was that there was no plug in my room. Beautiful place, I will be back again.

The hostel is in a really great location. In the middle of nowhere. I've just loved it. There is a lake next to it where you can swim (if you are brave enough, the water was reeeally cold!). Gary, the guy at the reception was really cool. He helped us a lot. Suggested some trekkings to do around and printed us a map. He is really easy going guy and really kind. Hope you enjoy your staying ;)

This was a very pleasant and comfortable hostel with excellent staff. It was well located for access to the countryside and quieter that some other hostels.

Valentino Uomo Pop-Up Store @ ISETAN SHINJUKU MEN's
Valentino builds upon its newfound appreciation for camouflage with a special capsule collection with retailer ISETAN MEN's in the Shinjuku ward of Tokyo. The Italian brand diverts from the original intention of the camo print by mixing in bright neon colors for a unique contrast that proves to be simple, yet refreshing. The three-part range includes a lightweight nylon hooded parka, T-shirt and pair of sneakers, each of which will be available in store later this week.

I left the group(and I'm going home in a few days.
No, you escaped from the situation. You are a coward and cowards always go on trying to find rationalizations.
You were just going to touch some layer within you and you escaped. Your cleverness is not going to help you; in fact it is your enemy. Just the very moment that you were coming closer to some wound, to some strata which would have been very meaningful and significant, you escaped.
Next time when you come, be ready - you will have to do the group again. You have to do it once completely, because it is going to help you so much. You cannot see, that's the trouble. You are almost blind, you cannot see. What have you gained by dropping out of it? Just by going home, what are you going to do? Even if it was a little painful, you were not going to be killed by these people. Whenever somebody wants to grow, there is some discomfort. One has to get hurt, but others are going through it, so you were not alone.
That is why I am insisting so much on the group - because people have become so cowardly that they cannot grow alone. In the past, people were really brave. They worked alone, and nothing like a group existed. By and by, as people became cowardly and lost all courage, groups had to be started.
It was unworthy of you. This was going to give you many valuable experiences. If you can gather courage I think you should complete it. Or is it difficult to gather courage? You are really very very scared.
I'm not that scared. I just feel(my mind told me not to do the group. I just woke up one morning, and my mind said not to go back to the group.
So don't listen to the mind! You have been listening to this mind for your whole life and where has it led, what has it given to you?
This is rot - what you call the mind. It is nothing to do with you, just a crowd; accumulated rubbish that you call your mind. What is the need to listen to it?
You just tell the mind that for seven days you are not going to listen to it. And then don't listen to it, just go to the group every day. Try, mm? It will be a good experience and you will feel more comfortable about yourself.
You will get out of your bondage, the bondage of the mind, and you will feel free. The mind is your slave, not your master. Who is this mind to tell you not to do the group? If you want to do it, do it, and the mind has to help. If you don't want to do it, don't, and the mind has to help you.
