Hey dumbass, it works the same only louder.
hmmmmm... same way Stock Buying works for Blind People...
with better than CD sound quality that SIRI offers
they can turn the music up much higher without distortion - and they feel the vibrations and rhythm.
You are truly a dedicated and irrational pumper if you attempt to argue that a RADIO service is great for deaf people too. How bout TV for the blind? That market is really untapped!
How does regular AM FM radio work for deaf people? That was a really stupid comment Rocky.
it only works for the blind "close captions" lol ;-))
It doesn't address the needs of deaf people you moron! They have to stick with terrestrial radio for hearing impaired programming! On a side note, where does YOUR group go to find Radio services for the terminally brain dead?
the same way regular radio works
the same as am/ fm does, rotflmao!
Dude its a radio
You will NEVER EVER see SIRI below $6.1 EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

A team of federal, state and local cybersecurity experts is looking for partners to develop an IT asset management system that can help the financial services industry protect its critical IT gear from electronic attack.
According to a May 6 notice in FedBizOpps, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) are seeking collaborators to provide products and technical expertise in creating a model, standards-based system that financial services companies could use to integrate existing asset management technology, hardware and software support, and IT security into a single system.
NCCoE is a partnership among NIST, Maryland and Maryland's Montgomery County that facilitates the rapid adoption of standards-based cybersecurity solutions for business and public organizations using commercially available technologies.
IT assets in the financial services industry range from company smartphones and laptops to major database and network servers. Managing those assets is a complex task that goes far beyond keeping track of where they are, the FedBizOpps notice states. Software -- both operating systems and programs -- must be kept up-to-date, and organizations must be able to rapidly and seamlessly respond to new threats from malware or cyberattacks. An IT asset management (ITAM) system is the answer to those challenges, NIST officials said in a statement.
NCCoE is looking for technology vendors interested in working on a "reference design" to demonstrate how companies can tie their existing data systems for physical assets and IT into a comprehensive ITAM.
Details of the challenge are outlined in a recently released ITAM "use case" -- a tool software engineers use to define a system's functional requirements.

The latest version of the Defense Department-wide Enterprise Service Management Framework places more emphasis on managing IT risk.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Agencies have spent almost $23 billion on legacy IT over the past three years, according to reports to Congress. Is a revolving fund the answer?

There are several Anatomy courses specific to the organism being studied. "Animal anatomy" is sometimes called zomy; "vegetable anatomy," phytotomy; but typically, students are referring to the "human anatomy" which is sometimes called anthropotomy. Human Anatomy is often studied by both high school and undergraduate college students interested in a career in medicine.
Human Anatomy is the study of the anatomical structure of the human body. It is a thorough examination of the cells, tissues, organs and organ systems. The student's primary goal is to identify each specific body structures and use of the correct descriptive vocabulary (sometimes in Latin). Students will also learn the functions of the each specific body structure. Some specific components of an Anatomy course that students are required to learn are: (1) identify cell types, cell organelles, tissue types and organs both microscopically and macroscopically (2) discuss the similarities and differences among types of bone and bone growth mechanisms (3) identify the structures of the heart and the names of blood vessels (4) identify the primary areas of the brain and the component parts within each area and correctly associate the specific anatomical areas of the brain with their functions…These are only a few of the objectives of any Human Anatomy course!
While many students find an anatomy course fascinating, the shear volume of knowledge they must learn can be overwhelming. Students that are intent on following a career path in a medical or related field must not simply regurgitate this information. Understanding the human anatomy is clearly the basis for many students a lifelong medical profession. For those students, getting a private tutor that can work with them through many related courses can be the key to a successful college career.
Band practice, soccer games, French club, dual enrollment, volunteering, study groups…the life of a high school student is never ending and neither is that of their parents. High school is a crucial time in everyone's life. Most students tend to take on more than they can mentally and physically handle, but want to prove they can do it. As a parent, when you see the signs of your student struggling, do not wait until it's too late. A simple call to hire a tutor now can make all the difference later. A tutor well versed in working with high school students understands these students are juggling a lot and they have ways to help the student stay focused, organized, well-prepared, and achieve their academic goals. Contact us today to learn more.
We offer our clients only the very best selection of tutors. When you request a tutor for a certain subject, you get what you ask for. Our tutors are expertly matched to your individual needs based on the criteria you provide to us. We will provide you with the degrees, credentials, and certifications that each selected tutor holds. Equally important is the peace of mind we offer you knowing that each of our tutors has been cleared by a nation-wide criminal background check, a sexual predator check, and social security verification.

The chart shows a break down of price action. MACD has turned negative and the bolinger bands are turning down. I also would have expected a stronger move up before the numbers as we have seen in the past weeks. If we close above $3.48 then I think we will retest previous highes. If we close below $3.40 then I would think the low $3 area will be next. A break below $2.75 means this particular rally is over. JMHO.
With the warmer weather on the horizon perhaps traders have already factored in todays numbers.
MMs are "beating the beehives" maybe

Laura Desk by Phloem Studio
"Not ANOTHER George Nelson inspired desk??!!" went designer Ben Klebba's note to us. Though the Portland, Oregon-based woodworker and craftsman, who works under the name Phloem Studio, has his tongue firmly in cheek, his senses of scale, proportion, and beauty are right on point. We dug a little deeper into the process and inspiration for the lovely Laura desk and Klebba was so eloquent and excited that we've decided to let him describe it in his own words. Click through the slideshow to see one of the lovlier writing stations you'll stumble across and to learn how it came to be.

Designer Spotlight: Kelly Behun
Once upon a time, Kelly Behun was destined for Wall Street. She spent a few months at Salomon Brothers after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, but quickly discovered that she had actually been more interested in how the lighting and ambiance of her environment could affect her learning of economics than in the learning of economics itself. A quick U-turn landed her at Bergdorf Goodman's as an assistant buyer in a gorgeous office that overlooked Central Park and filled her with lofty feelings, which is when she knew that her destiny lay in the creation of unforgettable interiors. After working with Ian Schrager Hotels' design studio, where she was the protégé of Philippe Starck, and was introduced to the practical negotiations of space as sculpture and true innovation, she founded Kelly Behun | Studio in 2008. She has been crafting Narniaesque cloud-white perches in elegant apartments overlooking Manhattan in her signature white palette ever since. Most recently, Behun has launched a line of unique furniture pieces in collaboration with artist Alex P. White. Inspired by the power of art and the desire to pioneer an alchemical site where art and design come together in startling functional treasures for the residential environment, Behun and White are at the forefront of a marvelous invention. Their first collection of experimental furniture and wallpaper is currently on show at R 20th Century in New York City and features Behun's organic, futuristic, intelligent creations, all named after or inspired by an artist or artwork, along with a smattering of archival pieces by Oscar Niemeyer, Sally England, Julia Krantz and Wendell Castle. The show, entitled After, runs through October 27.

Built-ins abound in this renovation of a 1970s lodge perched high in the French Alps. H2O Architectes devised a plan to increase livable space while leaving the structure intact. What results is a contemporary ski chalet that makes the most of its small footprint thanks to bunk beds, hidden storage, and streamlined circulation.

Moss Auction at Phillips de Pury
In our September entertaining issue, we profiled the one and only Murray Moss, New York design impresario and "ringmaster" of the over-the-top, irreverent design objects with high price tags. At the time, we couldn't mention that Moss's imminent auction of design-art pairings would be held at the venerable Phillips de Pury. Now that all is said and done with the auction, which raked in over $5.5 million, we know exactly what Moss was thinking by pairing the likes of a Campana brothers' stuffed-animal armchair with Christopher Winter painting of Alpine children. We also know that rare Hella Jongerius pottery is more lucrative than a chair, or even a custom Polder sofa. More details in our slideshow.

text: 528 FXUS63 KMKX 290838 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 338 AM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 .TODAY AND TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence Medium Broad mid-upper level cyclonic flow remains anchored over the region with models in good agreement with a fairly vigorous short wave, currently moving into western Iowa on water vapor imagery as it runs with a 250 mb speed max, slowing as it crosses the WI/IL border region today into this evening. Will focus precipitation chances in the sw half of the CWA with the better 700 mb omega in the deformation zone on the northern flank of weak 850 mb and 700 mb lows associated with this short wave, and low- level convergence along weak surface troughs rotating east to west around diffuse surface low wobbling around the IL/IN border that eventually shifts east tonight. Forecast most-unstable CAPE values climb to between 500 J/kg and 1000 J/kg, but northeast winds bringing lower 925 mb temperatures into srn WI and early cloud cover will limit heating and resulting amount of instability. Will go with chance showers/slight chance thunderstorms. Will slowly lower PoPS from nw to se tonight as drier air advects in with lobe of surface high pressure nosing into southern Wisconsin as the weak surface low shifts east and the axis of the short wave trough reaches lower Michigan by 12Z Saturday. Lingering cloud cover and onshore flow off now seasonably warm Lake Michigan water will hold lows in the mid 60s in the southeast CWA, with the upper 50s in the far northwest with potential of lowering cloud cover closer to the axis of surface high lobe. .SATURDAY...Forecast Confidence...Medium It looks mainly dry Saturday, as lower precipitable water values arrive from the northeast. Deeper moisture and some instability will linger toward the south and west, so did keep some low pops there. Otherwise, it looks like a pleasant start to the weekend with some sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 70s. .SUNDAY AND MONDAY...Forecast Confidence...Medium It should be mainly dry Sunday and Monday with southern Wisconsin sitting under the western portion of high pressure. Did put some low pops in parts of the eastern forecast area Sunday afternoon due to higher moisture advecting in from the east along with some low level convergence. Temperatures should be within a couple degrees of normal early next week. .MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...Forecast Confidence...Medium Deeper moisture is progged to return Monday night into Tuesday, persisting across the region through Thursday. Some warm advection aloft and a shortwave will provide lift for the first round of showers and storms by later Monday night. The best chance for storms is expected to be on Tuesday as the wave moves through. The GFS is slower than the ECMWF and Canadian though, and moves the wave through Tuesday night. Left some pops going then through Thursday, as it will not take much lift to kick of more showers/storms with deep moisture lingering. Temps Tuesday through Thursday will be largely dependent on the timing of clouds/precip. Overall though, will likely see highs a few degrees above normal. && .AVIATION/12Z TAFS/... Tricky cloud cover early in the forecast as cigs bounce between MVFR/IFR with high low-level RH with surface convergence over southern WI. Guidance indicates rising northeast winds will bring in slightly drier air to the northeast forecast area lifting cigs to VFR by mid-morning while the southwest may see MVFR linger until mid- afternoon. The southwest and south will also see the best chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms today into tonight with passage of a mid-level wave. Will keep mention of pcpn as vicinity or prob30 for now. SOme patchy fog is possible tonight, especially in the southeast. && .MARINE... Northeast winds and wave heights are again marginal for a small craft advisory today and remain just below criteria through Saturday night. Will have a mention of caution for small craft in the forecast for the southern zones today but no headline. Looking for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms through the day and into tonight with passage of a mid-level wave. && .MKX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None. LM...None. && $$ TODAY/TONIGHT AND AVIATION/MARINE...REM Saturday THROUGH Thursday...DDV

Read an Excerpt
Part Two, Chapter One: ART 127. INTRODUCTION TO COMMERCIAL ART.
Room 207, Baxter Bldg.
(formerly Wexler Science Hall)
DESCR: A fundamental exploration of the applied arts.
Credits: 3
I got there at quarter past two. A dozen or so kids dotted the benches and floor in the hall facing the classroom -- I recognized Treat Dempsey and two other guys from North Halls. Himillsy was seated, her shiny black helmet of hair and raccoon mascara glowering over a sundress she'd made in Textiles 202. The fabric was covered with a pattern of oranges and bananas that would have seemed perfectly benign on anyone else. She was talking to a very tall boyish man with terrible skin. The door to 207 wasn't locked, but a sign, ink on horizontal notebook paper, was taped to it:
Formerly mislabeled Introduction to Commercial Art ENTER THE CLASSROOM AT EXACTLY
"I think you should go in."
Hims was smirking, sunbeam bright. I recognized the look and prepared myself -- it was the sort of smile that made you check your fly. Suddenly she was nudging me to the door, giddy with girlish urgency -- I was Rin Tin Tin and she lay pinned under a tree. "Go on, hurry! Don't think about me! Run! Save yourself!"
I resisted, with success. "Rage before beauty..." I held one arm to my chest and extended the other towards the door. She returned a howl of delighted disapproval and slid over to make space for me on the bench.
"This is Mike," she gestured vaguely to the beanpole, who,now that I was seated, seemed even longer and lankier. Mike Crenck was ancient -- maybe even thirty. As he nodded my way and made a small noise, the expression on his face made me want to say "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." His hair was sandy colored, in a shade which reminded you that sand was also dirt.
"What are y'all waiting for?" Maybelle was at the far end of the hallway, lugging her burden of paints, pencils, rulers, and drawing tools -- charging towards us with epic resolve. Only Mabes could turn walking down the hall into Lee's campaign at Gettysburg.
"For you. Go on in." Mills was swinging her legs.
Maybelle ignored her and read the sign. "Well. Miss Sorbeck is very specific, isn't she?"
"Probably moonlights as a Swiss cuckoo," said Hims, as she tortured a paper clip.
I sighed and leaned against the wall. What a bore this was going to be, like every other class at State. At least I talked Mills into taking it. She'd liven it up.
At twenty-five after, we made our listless way into 207 and found seats. A minute or two of silence.
Then, from behind us:
"That was lousy. Do it again."
It is beyond my powers to tell you what that voice really sounded like. But I can tell you what it did. I can say it pinned me like a Monarch to its specimen box and made me squint. It turned the air into a hot solid. Wait -- that's not good enough -- it...was a wave you thought you could ride, until you did, and came up bloody. I can tell you it was the sound of Ultimate Discontent -- the voice that, after a long life of committing horrible crimes, you could expect to hear just after you died.
I turned, opened my eyes.
There, leaning against the back wall, was Gary Cooper's fraternal twin (High Noon-era) in a white dress shirt and loosened rep tie, gray flannel trousers, and a pipe driven into his clenched teeth.
But I bet Gary never forgave him because between the two this guy got all the looks -- which were now on the other side of Stellar -- but not far. He was big. Not fat, not at all. Big. Like a cliff you were just pushed from.
To look at him was to disappoint him.
"I said. Do it. Again."
And boy, did we ever.
We rose with a collective jolt, filed out into the hallway, and exchanged puzzled glances. What to do next?
"There must be some mistake," offered Maybelle. "He must think we're here for something else. Maybe he's not the right teacher at all. Once at Miss Cress's I spent an entire term in Pillows when I was supposed to be in Napkins. I almost didn't graduate. It was just crazy."
Treat and the two he came with were heading down the hall for the stairwell. I called to him.
"Where're you guys going?"
He turned. "To see if we can still audit Psych One-ten." Then he shot a wild-eyed face to the door of 207 and they were gone.
Hims was jubilant -- fortified by the weirdness and confusion. "Love it! Kicked out already and we didn't even do anything. Let's go back in!"
"But we did it wrong somehow last time." Maybelle bit her lip. "What did he mean?"
"He means do it with some style," said Mills. "Go in like...oh...Isadora Duncan."
"Jesus. Agnes de Mille, then."
"I don't -- "
"Like a dancer in Oklahoma. Go ahead. Kick up your heels. He'll love it. We'll be right behind you."
"Are you sure?" She pondered it. "I loved Oklahoma, saw it three times. They had such spirit, those poor people. Do you think...?"
"Absolutely. He wants theater. I'm going to be Blind Pew from Treasure Island. I'll use my ruler as a tapping stick. Be fun!" She turned to me. "What are you going to be?"
In eternally horrified thrall to you, alas. "I'm still deciding." Everyone else had started to go back in, some with a little more enthusiasm than before. Maybelle bounded into the room, clicked her heels, and shouted, "Yeeeehah!!"
Sorbeck was stone-faced. Himillsy followed her up and gave him a very desperate, apologetic glance. I was next, and before I sat down, something came over me and I pivoted, clicked my heels together, and did a slow, courtly bow.
Arms crossed. Didn't move.
Once we were all reseated, he went to the front of the room and started bobbing his head at each of us. Then,
"Shit. Only three went AWOL?"
Mike raised his hand and said in a voice that sounded like Bing Crosby before puberty. "I, I think so."
And then, bam! The first of his magical transformations: now a human being -- almost friendly. "I must be losing my touch." He smiled and turned the air into a gas again and became the most beguiling person on earth. "Usually it's at least five. I'll have to work on that. You see, there's still eighteen people here. The class works better with twelve, best with fewer. Nine or ten is ideal. Of course, the Cookie Cutters in the front office of this Idiot Factory won't allow me to limit it to that, but I'm not worried. I'll whittle you down. No doubts."
I didn't like the sound of that.
"Before we go on, I should state, it's a fact: Nothing worth knowing can ever be taught in a classroom."
No one stirred.
"Well. Nobody fell for that. Now. Let's see what we've got." He walked across the front of the room, and I was reminded of a shark I once saw during a high school field trip -- it was turning in a tank of cloudy water, and I just kept staring at it, thinking, "How can something so huge and bulky move with such efficient, liquid ease?" Its fin broke the surface and bore down -- Christ -- on me.
"Son, what is the name of this class?"
His face: the Arrow shirt man after some hard, hard years.
Survivalist reflexes almost made me shriek "Introduction to Commercial Art!" Almost. At the last second I remembered the sign. I cleared my throat. "Introduction to Graphic Desi -- "
"Right!!" God. "Very good. You can stay. For now." Maybelle was next. "Honey, can you tell me what Graphic Design is?"
She thought for a moment. "No. I'm afraid not," all eager smiles. "That's why I'm here, I suppose."
He seemed to accept that. "All right. Fair enough, you're in."
Back to Mike. Sorbeck folded his arms and leaned down on the table. "What does the world look like?"
"Er, I don't think I understand the question."
"Now, that is a problem." He stood up and reloaded his pipe. "That is a problem.
"Everyone, understand: When you walk through that door you become a graphic designer. Whether or not you stay one after you leave is up to you, but I'd recommend you wear the mantle full time, all semester. We'll be spending the next weeks attempting to figure out what this means -- to be a designer, graphic or otherwise.
"Now who would like to take a little eye test? You two." He gestured to Himillsy and the girl next to her -- a real Margaret-from-Dennis-the-Menace type, with freckles and rust-colored ringlets propped up by two pink barrettes shaped like butterflies. "Up to the front of the room please, and face the class." Hims rolled her eyes as she passed me.
Then he said, serious as a cancer: "Okay, I want you ladies to close your eyes. NO peeking or out the door with you both. I'm watching. Understand?" They did as they were told and nodded. "Alright, we'll start with the pigtails. Sweetheart?"
"Yes?" said Margaret.
"What color is the floor?"
"Uh." She started to look down, and checked herself. Lids clenched tight. "I really, couldn't say for sure."
"I see. How about the walls?"
"Oh. I. Didn't get a good look at them. Green?"
"Hmm. How many windows are in this room?"
"Gee. I...didn't count."
"Describe the dress of the girl next to you."
"Uh, orange." Very fidgety.
"Her shoes."
"My shoes. What color?"
Hims had her hands clasped behind her through all of this, her tiny weight on her left leg. Smiling. Head tilted to the ceiling. Bored, bored, bored.
"Pigtails, we have to teach you how to see. Either that or get you a tapping stick and a dog with a metal handle and a lot of patience." Titters in the room. Then, quite grave: "You are a designer. You have to eat the world with your eyes. You must look at everything as if you're going to die in the next five minutes, because in the relative scheme of things, you are. You can't miss a trick. Now, you, girly." He meant Himillsy. "In the fruit dress. What colo -- "
"The floor, originally I suppose, was white. As one would like to imagine that slush in the gutter was once new-fallen snow. Linoleum. Of the grade...usually found in Sears just before they remodeled. Scuffed now, beyond redemption." She smirked slightly, into the dark.
"Well well well." His interest was finally sparked -- the badger at the rabbit hole. "Go on."
"The walls are the shade of caked snot."
He said nothing.
"Cinder block. There are either four windows or eight, depending on whether you count them in sections. Probably last washed during the Roosevelt administration. Teddy." She was off and running -- arms up into space. "I'm wearing my own stunning creation -- I call it 'Fruit Salad Surgery.' My shoes are boys' size four patent black leather Buster Browns with kid straps." She threw her hands crazily to the right. "Miss Nowhere is wearing a thigh-waisted fatigue tent-dress she probably made in her spare time to save money for hair dye."
Margaret's eyes snapped open.
" -- speaking of which, someone might tell her that two killer moths the color of my tongue are attacking her head as I speak."
"And you, sir, since you asked, are shod in a pair of groaning black ox-bloods that really ought to be thrown away. You obviously aren't married, or Mrs. Sorbeck would have returned them apologetically to the beast they were ripped from, when you weren't looking, years ago."
He chuckled. "Oh, she tried. I'm always looking. And?"
"I'm stuffed." She opened her lids. "My eyeballs are ready to burp their heads off." She curtsied and headed for her seat. Margaret followed in a slump. I pictured those wavy cartoon heat lines rising from her head, and almost started to clap.
Sorbeck was as amused as I ever would see him. Sober, anyway.
"You're a pip, Miss Molecule."
She basked in the praise.
"Kiddies, you all should have been able to do that. Sans, I would hope," he threw a second's dismissive glance at Himillsy, "the undergraduate humor."
Hims's face broke and she made her eyes dark slits. She didn't like that. Not at all.
"The Cookie Cutters can't think about anything beyond selling cookies, so they would have you believe this class is the Introduction to Commercial Art. It is not. Should that give you cause to leave this room, do so now -- without the threat of being scorned, or having to think."
Nobody did. Leave, I mean.
"But I've been put in charge of the store here, and I say it's Introduction to Graphic Design. The difference is as crucial as it is enormous -- as important as the difference between pre- and postwar America. Uncle Sam...is Commercial Art. The American Flag is Graphic Design. Commercial Art tries to make you buy things. Graphic Design gives you ideas. One natters on and on, the other actually has something to say. They use the same tools -- words, pictures, colors. The difference, as you'll be seeing, and as you'll be showing me, is how." He bowed his head and paused, as if to take on a new load of thoughts. Then he paced, slowly, up and down the right side of the room.
"You're lucky. I envy you -- this is an interesting time for Graphic Design. Even though it's existed since the dawn of man, it's also in its infancy -- not even a name for it until 1928, when a book designer named William Addison Dwiggins got sick of the term 'Graphic Arts' and changed it -- in print, naturally. And he was right. It's not Art. And Art is not Design, though it used to be." He stopped, relit his pipe. Drew it in.
"Design is, literally, purposeful planning. Graphic Design, then, is the form those plans will take."
More thoughts.
"A bazillion years ago, some poor son of a bitch Cro-Magnon scratched a drawing of a buffalo onto the wall of his cave. He didn't do it because his muse had called to him, or to explore the texture of bauxite, or to start the neoprimitive-expressionist movement. He did it because he killed a goddamn buffalo and he wanted someone else to know about it, after he was gone. He had a specific, definable purpose for making a piece of visual information. The first one." He puffed. "Whether it's been up or downhill from there is a matter of debate for another time, but the truth is Art and Design only finally parted ways in the nineteenth century, with the introduction of photography. Now -- Ssmile! -- Zogg can take a picture of his Buffalo and save all those tedious drafting skills for...well, something else."
Sorbeck pulled a chair up to the front, sat, and propped his legs up on a desk, leaning back, hands behind his head.
"Which is no small matter. You see, photography opened up quite a little Pandora's box, kiddies. Do you have any idea?" A quick scan of the room made it clear we didn't. "Once we no longer had to depend on drawing and painting to record our existence -- once they became an option -- they mutated...into a form of expression. And Art for its own sake, God help us, was born.
"But Graphic Design for its own sake will never happen, because the concept cancels itself out -- a poster about nothing other than itself is not Graphic Design, it's..." He pumped his fist rapidly up and down over his lap and started breathing in spasms. "...makin' ART."
My goodness.
"Not that Design can't have...a look, a style -- in fact it has to, even if the style is 'no style' -- but by definition, Design must always be in service to solving a problem, or it's not Design. I will not, so help me, ever attempt to define what Art is. But I know what it no longer is, and that's Graphic Design.
"Now, as for Commercial Art, I could be crass and say the term is both repetitive and redundant, but that's too easy. Better to say the term is too limiting and too humiliating. I mean, do you really want to be a Commercial Artist?" He somehow made his face ugly with those last two words, for just a second, then stood. Summing up his case.
"Eight notes in the scale: you can write either 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' or The Marriage of Figaro.
"Twenty-six letters: Marjorie Morningstar or Ulysses.
"The man-made world means exactly that. There isn't an inch of it that doesn't have to be dealt with, figured out, executed. And it's waiting for you to decide what it's going to look like. Of course that's not true, but for this class you have to believe it.
"So. Is it caked snot?
"Or five coats of lacquered enamel?"
We didn't dare make a peep. I was exhausted just listening.
"Alright. Here's your first assignment..."
"I wish I had a picture of him. Then my word could be 'bastard.' Problem solved." Himillsy was burrowing through her purse, her last Camel hanging from her mouth for dear life. "Bloody matches..."
For our first formal Graphic Design critique we had to select a word and design it, on an eleven-by-fourteen-inch piece of paper. The idea was to make it look appropriate to what it said. Sounds simple enough, until you try it -- everything you think of is instant cliché. Himillsy and I met at Zingorelli's Pizza -- their tomato-garlic strombolis could set off Vesuvius -- the night before it was due, to commiserate.
"How about the word 'red,' in red?" I asked.
"Too easy. He'll hate it. There they are..." Breath a Sicilian stink bomb, she lit her smoke and motioned for her sixth Coke. "Plus like he said -- it's too repetitive. He's looking for more."
A truck pulled up and parked on the curb outside the window next to our booth. It was huge. Lost in thought, I found myself trying to read the lettering on the side, but only part of it was in view, and all I could make out, just barely, was the word 'big.' Hmm. Now there was an idea.
Was this Design? Taking the information on the side of that truck, and seeing not what it is, but what could be made of it? Learning from it?
I decided yes. It was that moment -- when the mind, instead of obsessively pacing the prison of its own puzzlement, suddenly, instinctively, deliriously, discovers a way to make wings out of wax and fly the maze.
"What if the word was 'big'..." I started, "but you just showed a white piece of paper?"
She waited for me to explain. I said, "Because it's so big, you can't see it all."
She took a drag. "Interesting, but something about it...isn't right." Sent smoke to the ceiling. "I wouldn't if I were you." Dissmissal Herself.
Ouch. Moment: RIP. "Yeah, I guess. What's everybody else doing?"
A foreign concept. "What? Who cares?" Himillsy's camaraderie was often cut with a sense of narcissism that was scarcely less than monstrous.
"That one guy, Mike," I said, "he's been working on it for two nights, in the Belly." (The Visual Arts building's basement workroom, where you went when you really needed to spread out. When you needed surfaces.) I already suspected that Mike was going to be one of those humble show-off types who worked harder than everybody else on each project and became teacher's pet. Annoying.
"Pizza Face?" she sniffed. "Bully for him. Vote him Class Prez."
"Maybe I should try a noun. What are you going to do?"
"Skip class."
"Oh I don't know. I'll do what I always do." She drained her glass, stubbed out her Camel's tail. We got up to leave. "I'll think of something at the last minute. Drop you?"
Today we are going to talk about Left to Right. If I thought that I could say, "Things go from left to right," and all of you would grasp the weight of the situation then I would just say it and that would be that and we could just go home for today because, really, that's enough. No, too much for one day, actually. The best way would be to say, "Things go from left" on Tuesday, let it sink in, and then say "to right" on Thursday. And you know how you'd picture it? You'd picture Tuesday on the left, and Thursday on the right, and we'd be all set. In fact, why the hell didn't I do that? Damn. Too late. Anyway, that would assume this circumstance doesn't require some explanation, and as I survey this room, it's clear to me it does.
Look. Suppose you were a general in battle someplace and you got wind the enemy was plotting to invade your territory. If you knew exactly ahead of time where the sonsabitches were going to land and strike, you'd have the advantage, right? Well, that's it. You, you all have the advantage. The page, the poster, the surface you are working on -- THAT'S your territory, and they are going to invade. Fine, let them. That's what you want anyway. But be ready. They are coming in from the left. Always, always always, always!! This, as you would imagine, can be extremely useful to know. For example, if the director of a play wants to give more importance to one character than the others, where do you think he's going to place him on stage? See? You invisibly assign a hierarchy of importance and meaning to the elements you work with by deciding where they go on the page.
We are the Western world. We read, see, think. Left. To. Right. We can't help it. You have few givens in this life, in this class. That is one of them. Use it.

This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read. I came across the title when reading The New York Times and figured it might be an interesting book to read, considering it had such a curious title. I read the review on it and figured that any author who was bold enough to quote people who disapproved of his book amongst those who enjoyed it, deserves to have his book read. And read it I did. Each time I picked up the book, I had a hard time putting it down. It was so well written and amusing that I felt like I was forced to keep reading. Every moment spent reading it was worthwhile. I plan on reading it many more times in the future.
This book is impossible to describe...very, very funny, very interesting, and a very enjoyable book.
I was assigned this novel to read for my typography class. The writing is witty, clever, and dry, and seems to accurately depict what it's like to be an art student. However, the book loses its spark towards the end, weaving the tale into an anticlimatic and vague ending. It is almost as if the author realized his book needed to end at some point, and just...made it end. Additionally, to contemporary graphic design students such as myself, it is difficult to relate to the students in the book as technology has advanced us further than what is portrayed in this 1950's campus setting. A quick read, but I've read better.
With witty dark humor this is a book that you will never want to put down. The writing style is orignal while the plot is intricate and truthful to life. A laugh and a half, this book is most definitelly worth the read.
As said, a book that is as stunning as it's cover! It caught my eye, and being a graphic designer myself, the whole idea seemed quite fascinating. From Dottie's very animated 'Life Drawing' to Winter Sorbeck's enigmatic assignments, and subsequent Critiques, this excellent, witty story propels you along until you quickly find yourself at the conclusion. However, me being me, I'm vaguely confused about the end...
This book is amazing. Kidd will captivate you with his amazing writing skills making this masterpiece a reality, with vivid imagery of colorful words... Truly a book that will boggle your mind. The characters become your friends and foes; teaching you not only a few insightful things about graph art, but also a few things about worldly insights imperative to the intelligent artistic minds!
im just a college student that enjoys books. and i cant even begin to explain how much this book made me 'feel' its quite witty, funny, intense, artistic, and just plain ol fun! its something that you would have to experience yourself. a light easy read that makes pages seem like lines! a definate must!
Having 3 graduate degrees and a teaching career in the field of English, I have read a LOT of books, and I would rank this one in my top three favorites, so believe me, it must be good.
I began reading this book on the airplane and actually had to stop reading to keep myself from breaking out into peals of laughter! Normally books do not make me laugh, but Kidd has a quirky and sometimes dark sense of humour that appealed to me. The book is short, and plot can sometimes be lacking; but this is deffinitely a worthwhile read. Everyone should consume this book immediately! (By the way; i too am an art student at a state college; its all true!)
This is the most incredble book I have read in quite some time. Although skeptical at first, that was quickly remedied as I sat down to read this debut novel and finshed it in one sitting. I could not stop reading it. It's witty, hillarious, sarcastic, compelling, intelligent, fun, and honest. And I don't know a lick about Art. Read it.
This is amazing
A first- year Freshman at a Liberal Arts college (music/theater major), I feel that the book is extremely relevent to the experiences of a college student. This book is challenging, exciting, fast- moving, and impossible to forget. Read this book if you want to learn, be shocked, and impressed.

BP Said Likely to Miss Rosneft Swap Deadline for Second Time
BP Plc is likely to miss a second deadline for a share swap with OAO Rosneft after failing to agree a buy-out of its partners in Russia's third-largest oil producer in time, said people with knowledge of the plans.
For the $7.8 billion swap to go forward, BP must cede its role in an Arctic exploration deal to its TNK-BP venture, subject to Rosneft's approval, according to an arbitration ruling on May 6. The swap expires at midnight in London.
BP has sought to buy out the billionaires' half of TNK-BP, although no deal has been reached yet, said three people, who declined to be identified given the sensitivity of talks. BP raised a previous offer to about $30 billion, said two people. A deal is unlikely to be reached today, said two of the people.
The planned BP-Rosneft alliance would give the U.K. oil explorer access to 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources in Russia's Arctic, as well as a stake in Russia's largest oil producer. The deal would be Robert Dudley's biggest since becoming BP chief executive officer after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill last year, and a collapse would be a setback.
"AAR is getting stronger as this drags on," Ivan Mazalov, director of Prosperity Capital Management, said in Moscow.
Dudley has been involved in talks in Moscow during the past several days, said one of the people. Rosneft last month pushed back the swap deadline to May 16. It hasn't commented publicly yet on today's deadline.
Toby Odone, a London-based BP spokesman, declined to comment, as did the press services for Rosneft and AAR.
Won Injunction
AAR won an injunction to stop the agreement, announced Jan. 14, claiming the TNK-BP shareholder agreement gave the venture exclusive rights to pursue opportunities for BP in Russia.
The billionaires, represented by the AAR group, rejected the offer of cash and shares in the U.K. oil producer, Interfax reported, citing unidentified people.
BP and AAR set up TNK-BP in 2003 as a 50-50 venture, with the support of then-President Vladimir Putin. In 2008, the billionaires ousted Dudley as head of the venture after a shareholder dispute about strategy. TNK-BP accounts for about a quarter of BP's output and a fifth of reserves.
AAR had valued half of TNK-BP at about $35 billion, two people familiar with their plans said earlier.
BP will not offer the billionaires a large shareholding in the company, Dudley said April 14. AAR rejected offers of cash, participation in the Arctic and international projects to allow the alliance to go through, he said at the time. The partners also rejected a $27 billion proposal.
Planned Swap
BP planned to swap 5 percent of its shares for 9.5 percent of Rosneft. The stakes each had a value of about $7.8 billion when the deal was announced on Jan. 14 in London. Putin, now prime minister, met with Dudley earlier that day and praised the strategic alliance with Rosneft as having a potentially "serious impact on the global oil and gas industry."
Putin has said the government won't interfere in the shareholders' conflict. "It's a corporate issue and it should be decided on a corporate level," Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, said by phone today.
Rosneft wants BP, not TNK-BP, for the Kara Sea project, CEO Eduard Khudainatov has said. TNK-BP doesn't have Arctic offshore experience.
"We still believe that BP and Rosneft will be developing the Arctic shelf jointly," Svetlana Grizan, an analyst at VTB Capital in Moscow said by phone. "If not, Rosneft will find another partner."
Rosneft has an alternative: to walk away from BP and choose another partner to develop the Arctic, such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc or Chevron Corp., Citigroup Inc. analysts Ron Smith, Ildar Khaziev and Mark Fletcher said in a note on May 10.
BP remains "optimistic" about reaching a deal, Dudley said May 13. "I can't comment about time but I'm sure we'll see a deal sooner or later," he said at the time.
