Interstate 107 Radio and the city of Lancaster will celebrate country music with the the 2010 Colgate Country Showdown.
It's been more than a decade since University of South Carolina at Lancaster student Julie Roberts won Interstate 107 Radio's local competition at Andrew Jackson State Park. Roberts went on to record a certified gold album, featuring the top-ten hit song "Break Down Here." She now lives in Nashville.
Local businesses are being asked to rally around the effort to decrease alcohol use among youth.
The Coalition for Healthy Youth of Lancaster County will visit convenience stores, restaurants and other businesses on Thursday, asking them to sign a covenant.
Those who sign will pledge to reduce underage access to alcohol and tobacco, reduce the negative consequences of underage and excessive drinking and to encourage people to make healthy lifestyle choices.
The Lancaster Alternative Policing Strategy has planned three more events to bring people together to fight crime and try to get more guns off Lancaster's streets.
LAPS is a crime-watch group formed by Lancaster City Councilwoman Tamara Green Garris. The group has sponsored marches against crime, a gun buy-back drive and a recent candlelight vigil.
On Friday, LAPS and the Lancaster Police Department will hold a community forum beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Municipal Justice Center, 405 E. Arch St.
According to Lancaster Police Department reports:
• Leon Lee Newman, 20, 1601 Tilly Lane, was charged with simple possession of marijuana and driving under suspension on June 10.
• A Lancaster man was arrested on a drug charge after officers conducted surveillance in the area of Knight and Cedar streets on June 10.
Officers saw what they believed was a drug transaction and pulled up to question a man. The man ran from them, jumped a retaining wall and two fences before being caught by an officer.
Councilwoman Charlene McGriff will likely keep her District 2 seat on Lancaster County Council for the next four years.
In the only locally contested primary race, McGriff won with 585 votes over Blondale Funderburk, who received 330.
McGriff said she is passionate about representing the residents of District 2, and that running for council is not something one does on a whim.
"I feel good about it," McGriff said shortly after the votes were tallied Tuesday. "This is a position you have to prepare yourself for."
Lancaster City Council has a little more time to decide how it will treat a store owner's request to be exempt from the city's Streetscape project.
Hal Crenshaw, owner of Crenco Oil Co., said the efforts to install new curbing and sidewalk along South Main Street would hurt his business, Crenco Food Store. The beautification project has already started along that section of Main Street, but Crenshaw has asked that his convenience store be exempt from the project.
The truck sped up and rounded a turn when the driver lost control and struck the concrete barrier in turn two.
This might sound like a description of Saturday night at the races at the Lancaster Speedway.
But instead, the high-speed action was Tuesday when employees of a sprinkler service company decided to drink beer and take a turn on Lancaster's dirt track, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report.
The Multi-Cultural Information Center (MCIC) has announced its 2010 board and capacity-building activities.
The following volunteers will serve as leadership for MCIC for the coming year:
• Kim Richardson, University of South Carolina at Lancaster, president
• Monica Diaz, Brooklyn Springs Elementary School, vice-president
• Evelyn Jennette, Morphis Pediatric, secretary
• Crystal Fields, Lancaster County School District
• Jose L. Gutierrez, Haddon House Food Products
Engineers at the S.C. Department of Transportation report that the work to replace the northbound and southbound bridges on Interstate 77 at exit 62 in Chester County has progressed swiftly since beginning on Monday.
The removal of both bridge decks was completed in two days.
Crews began setting the 12 new beams on Wednesday. Four girders were put in place on that day.
Four more girders were being set on Thursday.
The final four steel beams will be put in place today.
State Sen. Vincent Sheheen, whose district includes part of Lancaster County, easily won the Democratic Party's gubernatorial nomination Tuesday.
He received nearly 59 percent of the votes in the primary, while Jim Rex, state superintendent of education, placed second with 23 percent of the votes, and Robert Ford got 18 percent of the votes.
Although Sheheen won big, there was far greater interest in the four-way race in the Republican gubernatorial campaign.

Playhouse, September 1, 2010
There's a chart written down in some book I've read that gives the appropriate gift type for each anniversary. I don't remember what #43 was according to the "list," but for me it was music.
Last Tuesday, Othel got back from Brookhaven just minutes before I drove in from the nursing home. He had gone down to check on his mother and help her with some odd jobs. My heart smiled when I saw the lights burning on the front porch. Othel met me at the backdoor, gave me a bear hug and said, "Close your eyes."
He guided me up the hall as I pictured a new outfit he had probably bought for me. "Open your eyes!" he said with excitement. Sitting at the end of our den was a new digital piano.
I stood frozen in shock as I looked at an instrument I had dreamed about for years. He flipped a small switch and told me to sit down and play. Lights streaked down the keyboard and illumined options of every imaginable instrument and rhythm.
I touched a beautiful shiny key and an organ note bellowed through the room. I cranked up the volume and for the next hour I played with a symphonic orchestra, a ragtime band, and a room filled with accomplished violinists.
"There's a rhythm section, too," he said, remembering the salesman's demo. I pushed another button and a section of percussion instruments joined in. That phenomenal plug-in piano was a one-man Lawrence Welk show and I was Lawrence!
I stopped to ooh and ahh and then play some more. With every button I discovered a wonderful new sound and rhythm. There would never be another "plain" hymn but a full orchestra rendition and no more skipping the sour notes on my old piano.
Othel's been great to remember our anniversary with a special gift to mark each year, but this year he topped them all. He gave me music!
If you could hear me play a hymn on my old piano and then hear the same song on my new digital instrument, you'd understand my excitement. My basic notes are surrounded and embellished with multiple tones and rhythms that turn "ho-hum" music into symphonic concerts.
I was on verse sixteen of "The Way That He Loves" when I realized Jesus had done the same thing with my "generic" life. He took what I offered Him and turned it into joy and peace, removing my fear of death and replacing it with hope and a future. Sometimes I think I'll be swept away in His great overture that He plays in and around my life. And the best part – His music will never end.

Released: Apr 01st, 2007
Running Time: 210
Director: Alberto Rey
Companies: Pistol Media, Raging Stallion Studios
Cast: Claudio Antonelli, James Jordan, Richard Jordan, Ricardo (II), Rick Bauer, Giorgio (II), George Stevenson
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Raging Stallion is marketing this as the very first gay gonzo movie, proclaiming on the box – and in the intro on the video – that the footage is real time, unedited raw footage. But that seems hardly likely, given the number of obvious edits in each scene, which viewers will clearly notice. This foreign effort has a lot of hot guys and hard cocks: James Jordan and his hot dick stand out in his three scenes: pairings with George Stevenson and Richard Jordan, and the final threesome with Claudio Antonelli and Ricardo. Rick Bauer also has two scenes, with Ricardo and Giorgio. The problem is that, with the exception of the final threesome (the hottest scene here), the sex quickly becomes predictable, following the exact same pattern: A model starts by jacking, then takes off his underwear to reveal a butt-plug in his ass, which is soon played with by a partner and fed into his mouth. The fucking has repeated cycles where the bottom hops off to suck the top's cock before hopping back on again. A hot watch at times, but it becomes stale after a while.
RETAILING: Colorful packaging is eye-catching; belongs on your Foreign shelf.

Mosaic (MOS) -4.8% AH after lowering its FQ2 volume guidance for potash and phosphate on weaker shipments in the export market.

Mosaic being the second largest partner in Canpotex and knowing international sales were lousy in Q4 judging from commentary from Agrium, this was highly predictable.
Unfortunately, this is happening too fast to get something out to them for this drop in guidance. Send your real email address if you wish to be added to the coverage list.

Work At Home University Scam Review
By David Harris
Work At Home University or WAH University for short, can be found at wahuniversity.net wahuniversity.com and is an online 'training course' for "work from home" advice you can get pretty much anywhere on the net for free.
"Work At Home University" comes complete with the inspiring story from fake mom "Michelle Withrow" and the stock photo meant to represent her image, and fake samples of income checks you might receive too if you pay to get their Work At Home University course.
Work At Home University states that you can make a lot of money in only an hour a day and that you need no experience or skills, because anyone can do it. Yet, Work At Home University never quite explains what it is you're being taught in their WAH course.
For a fee of $97.00 to register, Work At Home University initially say you get a 365 Day Make Money Guaranteed refund policy. However, it is conditional, as you will find out whether you read their fine print or not.
It really is a 60 day policy with restrictions. The policy says you will only get a refund if you followed their course to the letter. There are other legal term twists that when understood will have you run away fast as possible.
Now, at the heart of the "Work At Home University" scam model is what's known as Auction Listing. They say they will train you to become an Auction List Agent, but the truth is there are many places you can learn about this without having to spend so much. Even EBay shows you how to do it.
At this point I'd also be remiss if I didn't point out that there is no real certification, nor "online school degree" needed for work from home business opportunities. But you can see how the gimmick would entice those who don't know any better.
On top of that, you will fall prey to Work At Home University's third party partner companies who will inundate you with calls and emails and more by allowing Work At Home University to share your personal data with them all.
Whether or not you are on the national DO Not Call list, you give them permission by agreeing to the terms. The endless parade of persuasive sales calls to get you to needlessly spend thousands more on worthless "business coaching" they charge thousands for.
If you do happen to get caught in the snare of one of the better salespeople and several thousands of dollars later you have nothing to show for your investment, don't be surprised. It's what they do, and they do it extremely well.
Here's a list of the fake stuff you'll find on or pointed to their sales page; "certification program", "Startup Freedom Club", "How To Make A Fortune posting links From Home", "free one-on-one consultation with a success advisor","#1 home job consultant in America", "Michelle Withrow's Work At Home University Course", work at home university michelle withrow and jobbyusa.com.
*Please, we urge anyone who has been negatively affected financially by this company to contact us, as we are now in communication with authorities who are investigating them.
In no uncertain terms do I approve of, or recommend WAHUniversity – Work At Home University as a way of making a living on the internet.
"Work At Home University" is a scam of huge proportions and is absolutely not recommended.
Thanks for reading…

Heather Lynn is a Chicago artist best known for the band Pure Magical Love, the opera Templehead, and running Church of Templehead gallery with her partner, Michael Perkins. Her newest project, Genesis and Nemesis, set to open in September, is a three-act play that blends elements of traditional theater, performance art, video, installation, ritual, music, Reiki, classic special effects, and dance. Staged in an immersive environment, the audience is invited into a post-apocalyptic compound for an experience that is part celebration, part cautionary tale.
Genesis and Nemesis video stills courtesy of the artist.
Although Lynn is the writer and co-director of this piece, and plays the role of Mary Malachai, it is by no means a solo project. The work is being developed in collaboration with a group of Chicago-based artists, musicians, healers, and activists, including Efrén Adkins , Kaycee Conaway, Sky Cubacub, Zach Hebert, José Hernández, Zachary Hutchinson, Veronica Hyde, Andi Jane, Paul Klekner, Bret Koontz, Kalina Malyszko, Sarah Marie, Isabelle McGuire, Ariel Mejia, P. Michael, Michael Perkins, Jon Poindexter, Travis, and Julia Zinn.
In anticipation of this forthcoming production, I sat down with Lynn to ask her a few questions. Imagine a backdrop of shining, multi-patterned tapestries being meticulously constructed from dollar store treasures, mismatched fabrics, glitter, trash, glue. They are beautiful, in an obsessive, maximalist way. Heather and I sit at a small table on chairs she has reupholstered with dark and glittering fabric.
Can you tell me about your background as an artist?
There's really no one defining thing. I feel like by the time I'm known as "that girl who does that thing," it's time to move on. I'm an untrained artist; I dropped out of high school. My only training really is dance, and I think that influences a lot of the way I work. I had my own dance company for a while. When I was younger, I was in this band that got a lot of attention. I went through a phase where I did watercolor paintings. [Now,] people keep asking me how the new opera is going, like "oh, she's the girl who does the operas." I believe that the best of us comes out when you're creating a structure that you need to exist. And for me it's about changing the context.
How has your dance training influenced other aspects of your practice?
Take ballet: you learn these really repetitive mundane things, but you learn them to shape your body into the type of machine that can make these amazing things. It's that idea that if you do it every day, you put the work in, that's what matters. I'm very work-oriented. The work I like best is work where I can see the effort behind it, effort is often more interesting to me than a beautiful result.
My favorite job was when I worked at Fannie Mae. When there was nothing to do, there were just pans and pans of chocolate in back, they all need to go in little white cups. There's no way you'll ever get them all done, but there's always some to do. So you just do it, and it's about finding pleasure in the task. You can put art into anything you do, even if it's just a game you play in your head. You do the peasant work, but you act like a goddess.
If my brand is anything, it's relentless sincerity and hard work. I'm never really worried about anyone ripping me off. What are they going to steal? The hours of intensive work I do myself? The feminism and politics? Please, steal that!
Do you feel like there is a common denominator across your shifts in medium?
Community-based, a lot of work, constantly topping myself, really DIY. Creating my own world. I have a world in my head, and I feel very at odds with the outside world. Another defining thing was sorting out my mental illness—or what we call mental illness. I think a lot of it is just being sensitive in a world that doesn't stop to acknowledge all the ways it's fucked up. And [art] is my way of sorting through that and surviving. A lot of my mental health stuff sorted itself out when I started really manifesting the things I see in my head with [the band] Pure Magical Love. I wrote these mythologies that were about expelling certain demons. Everything I do is me trying to be normal, but everything in my head is so crazy it comes out all fantastical.
The way I work it's usually about transforming something, whether it's myself, the space I'm in, the pile of garbage into something beautiful to worship. We make choices all the time, every day, and we are constantly transforming things. I like to take control of that—being mindful of the transformations I make.
You do a lot of community work in your gallery, and much of your artistic work is driven by community and social issues. How does that fit into your artistic practice?
I've always been really sensitive about social issues. I had a lot of spaces when I was younger where I didn't feel safe. If you can't change the world, change what's in front of your face. For me the biggest tragedy is any living thing unable to follow its own design, and I grieve for all the living things that don't get to do that. A lot of my work is a response to displacement. Making a space where you can. I feel like for so long no one wanted me to do anything, so just that act of being visible, of taking up space, was very defiant. You're part of a sexist scene? You're part of a bunch of shitty stuff? Put more of you in the room than them. There's this crazy sincerity about what I do, and it makes some people so nervous.
So can you talk a little bit about this new project?
I feel like this is a companion to [the post-apocalyptic opera] Templehead. I didn't feel done with it. Templehead was about these people who have been displaced. They're about to go extinct, but they find beauty and meaning when they can. [Genesis] is more about who survives, who benefits, who knows this is gonna happen and doesn't stop it. People with money access would end up safe. When you're dealing with money, it becomes abstract, and you're not thinking about how having an extra three points on your stock is going to affect a town, because you're not thinking about the community. Money can become a mental illness.
I wanted to reimagine [the Templehead story] where we don't have to die, and we can evolve to meet the challenges that we've created for ourselves. Templehead ended on this sad, bittersweet note. This is going to end on a very uplifting, empowered note. One our collaborators practices Reiki, and at the end we do this ritual spell to activate the entire room. A bunch of people in a room, caring about the same thing, can have a positive impact. That's kind of what this play's about: the different gifts we have, how they can come together and fight something.
Where does the title, Genesis and Nemesis, come from? In your work there is often creation and destruction occurring simultaneously, and that title feels like a good encapsulation of that.
In this world in the future, there's this fable about a boy named Genesis and his sister Nemesis. After the Unrest, they find this beautiful beach with all these minerals that could be used to rebuild the world. He wanted to find people to help them transform the minerals into materials, and she thought the beach was beautiful and wanted to protect it. They fought. He went off to find people, she warned him not to come back or she'd have to kill him. He comes back and she's dead, she didn't have anything to eat. It's this story to instruct people to value the greater good over nature, a way of making people think about things a certain way. [But] Genesis and Nemesis were actually one person, turned into two. The way we remember always has an agenda.
We wouldn't need to create if there was no destruction. But this is the world I live in, so I create and destroy with equal joy, and I'm very upfront about it. Collapsing the binary, for me that's what it's about. I don't want like a nice story that wraps up neatly, I want a good story where we dig into this shit about ourselves that we're constantly learning.
At the end of the day, in spite of it being about all this global stuff, it's really about my journey. I see things that aren't there, I constantly have to second guess what I'm seeing and feeling, but that actually worked to my advantage, because I'm not afraid to not know. I'm not afraid of what a mess it is; you're part of the mess. Anyone that says artists shouldn't be narcissists doesn't really know what it means to tell yourself that you're good enough to send something into the world. You have to start with the ego, you have to know what you want for yourself. You start with the things you care about, and it spirals out. I think you connect systems of oppression when you start with yourself.
Looking at the visual aesthetic of the things you make, there's certainly a sort of controlled chaos.
For me it's creating new ideas of luxury. Because it's not all about money. Capitalism wants you to think it is, we have this idea that there's not enough to go around, and if we want beauty we have to exploit someone, and we think it's worth it. But you can make something special out of nothing. It doesn't look like luxury like Versailles, but there's something elegant about my little reupholstered chairs with my favorite fabric. It's my own type of luxury, not waiting around for someone to tell me that I can have something nice. I can make nice things. We've created such a surplus of bullshit, both physical, emotional mental and it's time to transform it. That's where I'm at with this play; I really do have hope for the future. I know because I'm so scared all the time, so I must have hope.
How has this project been collaborative?
Before I fleshed out any of the characters, I got [the performers'] permission to write them into the story. Not to say that every little thing is literally what someone would do, but I really did try to think about giving them choices to naturally commit to. We do a lot of workshopping. Everyone has say. I love this, because it's a room full of people talking about characters that I wrote, it's like playing Barbies, but with my brain.
One of the workshops we did, I had everyone come in and tell me: what is it about your character that makes them both awesome, and suck. The thing that makes you awesome is the thing that makes you suck. That's something with this play I've really tried to emphasize: there are no villains. If there's a villain, it's a system that is the result of human error. I don't believe in evil people. I think the minute you've decided that someone is just the bad guy, you're not going to figure anything out. I'm a little nervous about this play, because people want a strong hero and a strong villain, and this isn't that. There's definitely a force that needs to be destroyed, and another force that needs to be protected, but you can't walk away "yeah, these bad guys totally got their asses kicked."
My friend Sky (Cubacub) is helping with some of the costumes. In the story, I do all these crazy costumes, and I'm not skilled, but people see me doing it they start making these mass-produced really nice costumes. That's what I feel like I do so often—I'm not really technically good at anything, but people like that I'm obsessed.
And how do the video segments fit in?
There are a few different ways we use them. There are these transmissions that are happening between this giant government that's in control of everything, and this small group of people in hiding. It's kind of uncanny… I got this idea for this, and after I started writing it I started hearing about ISIS, and in the months after that they really kind of developed that war through social media.
Working with video is very challenging for me, it's sort of the opposite of what I do, but I have enjoyed working with video. As a dancer, I'm getting older, my body can't do all the things it used to do, which is so hard for me to accept because I'm a hundred miles an hour no matter what. But as I can do less, maybe I can make video choreography. I'm interested in exploring it, but I don't think I'd ever make a straight-up movie. I am really invested in doing work you have to experience live. I think it's in reaction to the Internet and it being so easy to generate, repost stuff. I want to make things where you have to be there. This has to happen at this point in time because these videos are with these people, these people have busy lives, when this is over we'll probably never do it again. It has to be seen in person.
Genesis and Nemesis opens in September 2015 at Church of Templehead Gallery in Chicago. More information about the project can be found here and here.
Walking to Mordor
June 3, 2014 · Print This Article
My wife and sometime collaborator Stephanie Burke and I recently completed a 140-mile walk as a perforance piece called "Walking to Mordor." The walk was based on an Easter egg introduced in Google Maps three years ago: if you asked it for walking directions from "The Shire" to "Mordor," instead of the usual "Walking directions are in beta" warning, a pop up announced, "Caution: One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor." The line is Boromir's, from The Fellowship of the Ring. Ignoring his naysaying, the two hobbits Sam and Frodo proceed to do exactly that.
The line, as spoken in the 2001 film, spawned an Internet meme which consisted of a still image of Boromir, hand in mid gesture, coupled with a line of text reading, "One does not simply…" followed by whatever the author wished to decry. Instances date back to at least 2004. In 2011, Google Maps joined the party by adding the Easter egg to their walking directions. Along with the warning, however, Google actually did provide a map and directions, from a restaurant called "The Shire," in Chehalis, Washington, to a tattoo shop called "Mordor Tattoo," in Arlington, Washington, 138 miles away.
When I showed Stephanie the joke, she mentioned that, coincidentally, she has family in Chehalis, and had spent some time there growing up. It didn't take long for us to decide that it would be fun, and funny, to take Google Maps' directions at face value, and walk the route. Almost immediately thereafter we realized we had to commemorate the journey by getting tattoos at Mordor, and that the tattoos should be of the map of the route. We documented the project with a series of photographs called "Instagram vs. Holga." Stephanie, a trained photographer, shot on the cult classic crappy medium format film camera, while I, with no more than a couple of undergraduate photography classes under my belt, used my phone's camera and the everyman's favorite app.
As has happened with more than one previous project, we didn't set out to make art. Our process is more often that we have an idea for something we'd like to do, and then, almost against our wills, we realize that it is starting to look quite a bit like art. Or at least like things that other people call art. And certainly, going for a long walk has quite a history as a form of performance art. It has spawned books, blogs, and even a society. Well-known examples include Francis Alÿs,Regina José Galindo, Simon Faithfull.
The history of walking as a form of performance art can never be severed from its history as a form of protest. Galindo's 2003 walk from the Congress of Guatemala to the National Palace, her feet dipped in blood to leave red footprints, was intended as a protest against Guatemala's former dictator, José Efraín Ríos Montt. Montt had formerly led a military regime known for widespread human rights abuses, and at the time of Galindo's performance was running for President in a democratic election.
Not all of those who have walked in protest have identified as artists. Perhaps the most famous example, internationally, is Ghandi's Salt March or Salt Satyagraha. By directly and pointedly disobeying a British law against domestic salt production in India (forcing Indians to buy imported British salt), the march essentially started what became the international Civil Disobedience Movement.
Inspired by Ghandi, A. Phillip Randolph and Bayard Rustin organized the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The march itself covered barely more than a mile, from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, though the 250,000 participants (60,000 of them white) had traveled from much farther away by bus, rail, and plane. Some spent 20 or more hours on buses traveling as far as 750 miles. Two years later, voting rights activists marched 54 miles, from Selma, Alabama to the state capitol in Montgomery. The Selma to Mongomery marches are commemorated by a National Historic Trail.
America's racial history (obviously still in the making) continues to inspire performance artists. In 2009 I reviewed Meg Onli's Underground Railroad project for Art Talk Chicago. (Five years later, her work holds up better than my early efforts at writing.) Presented as part of Twelve Galleries Project and curated by Jamilee Polson (who is also this blog's managing editor), Onli's project consisted of her retracing, on foot, the route of the Underground Railroad: a 440-mile journey, in Meg's words, "in search of blackness."
Exploring another form of blackness entirely, Chicago-based curator Amelia Ishmael co-edits Helvete, a journal of Black Metal theory, in the first issue of which was published David Prescott-Steed's "Frostbite On My Feet: Representations of Walking In Black Metal Visual Culture." (If you'd like to read the article for yourself, the entire journal is presented for free, as a downloadable PDF, at the above link. A print edition, also available, is well worth the price.) "Frostbite" tracks a few reference points linking walking with Black Metal culture. Principally, it finds the common ground between a grueling trek into the Norwegian tundra, led by Gaahl (former Gorgoroth frontman), and the author's own experience walking the mundane streets of an Australian metropolis while listening to Burzum:
In this case, "blackened walking" is seen to be less about the activity of walking itself and more about the circumstances under which one can move through space—walking not just for the sake of exercise, pleasure, or getting to the shops on time. With the modern world (invested in trains, planes, and automobiles), the slow, simplicity of a walk (Walking? How pedestrian!) seems to have lost some of its value. However, walking is capable of bringing one's focus back to a fundamental question of what a body physically needs to do in order to transition through, and therefore go on, in the world. Perhaps mourning the forgetting of the existential significance of walking, "blackened walking" pays respects to walking as the chance to explore self-determination and a readiness for the unknown.
We hadn't conceived of the "Walking To Mordor" project initially in terms of its connection to Black Metal, but as we walked, Prescott-Steed's phrase "blackened walking" echoed in my mind. The connection, however ephemeral, clarified itself in my mind as I looked over Tolkien's maps of Middle Earth, and researched his languages. Two of the bands mentioned in "Frostbite" take their names from Tolkien's writing. Gorgoroth is an arid plateau in the northwest corner of Mordor, surrounding Mount Doom; the name comes from Sindarin (the Gray Elven tongue) and means "dreadful horror." The name of another band, Burzum, means "darkness" in the Black Speech of Mordor.
Far from the tradition of protest marches, whether as performance art or otherwise, "Walking To Mordor" was in some was a playful exploration of what happens when a joke is taken 138 miles too far. A linguist became an author. His book became a movie. The movie spawned a joke. The joke became a meme. The meme became an Easter Egg embedded in the principal means by which Americans today naviage their world. With every breath spitting in the face of Alfred Korzybski, originator of the phrase, "the map is not the territory," most of us today confuse a glance at Google Maps, followed by a drive in the car, with exploration. We think of distances first in minutes of driving, or hours of flight. The landmarks we note are gas stations and Starbucks locations. Google Maps has become the average person's understanding of the world. Moreover, our culture is becoming one of remakes and mashups. References have taken the place of wit: "that's clever" has been replaced with "I have heard that before." Tolkien has been reduced, in the public imagination, to the origin of nerd-chic Internet memes, and we have tried in our way to be true to his work by dragging a piece of derivative humor, kicking and screaming, into meatspace.
Layering of Slices: ATOM-r Presents The Operature
March 25, 2014 · Print This Article
By Autumn Hays
This past Friday I attended The Operature an exhibition by the collective ATOM-r (Anatomical Theatres of Mixed Reality) at the National Museum of Health and Medicine Chicago. This exhibition was held in two parts an interactive installation and 90 minute performance showcase. ATOM-r's participants include Mark Jeffery (choreography), Judd Morrissey (text and technology), Justin Deschamps, Sam Hertz, Christopher Knowlton, and Blake Russell (collaborators/performers). The ATOM-r collective explores the application of forensic science and anatomical mapping, as viewed through the through the scope of performance, technology, and language. What struck me most about the exhibition was the poetic consideration of the body and the layering of segmented perspectives visually, technologically and through dance. This is especially true of the performance where the dancers bodies move like they are being examined for medical display, like they caressed with love or sex, like in battle, and like the ritualistic laying out of the dead all in one sequence. When combined the layers of sourced gesture seem not as if disjointed but in an embracing collaboration of movement. I feel my observation of this exhibition is like looking through a magnifying glass peeping in to catch glimpses at what is a large body of accumulated research.
The installation included a 15 monitors that displayed the interactive exhibition's language poetry and digital art that seemed like entries dense with interconnecting references selected from an accumulation of archived materials. The Operature. Attendees are able to pick up cards with medical and anatomical imagery and show the QR-code to a camera provoking a response and changing the exhibited material as a corresponding text begins to dance across the screen blinking in and out. On other screens images of head cut into thin slices spin resembling the process of cross-sectional scans of bodies under anatomy study, or the presentation of anatomical evidence on glass slides. The dissection of slices is also seen in the exhibitions use of language fragmentation and the multifaceted perspectives created by technology that includes both in the installation and performance.
Upon entering attendees are prompted to download an app that allows them to interact using their smartphones during the installation and performance. Audience members found themselves taking on the roll of investigators drifting around the exhibition looking for signs, images, and codes that they could scan using their camera phone. Once scanned, these images display technological overlay ghost images and text that seem as if they had already been there, invisible, waiting for you to discover them. Often I find technological interactions to fall short but there is something consistent about the concept of a phone app that allows you to view an augmented reality layer in an exhibition based off anatomical theaters, where the audience becomes an investigator of anatomy. It was one of the best uses of interactive technology I had experience in an exhibition. This inclusion of the technological other worlds slips in and out of the subjective, pushing realties/non-realities together and is an integral interaction when used during the performance piece.
The collective stratum of reference is something you encounter in every aspect of ATOM-r's performance. One can view the piece from multiple vantage points choosing to sit in pews, walking among the performers, or standing above the performance looking down on it as in an operational theater. As the performers dance Judd plays the role of conductor, controlling projected displays of text reiterating those used in the installation, and reading them aloud as he performs.
He also provides the attendees with a technological viewpoint, displaying his live video of the performance showing the virtual reality ghosts we first encountered in our own investigations of the installation. The spoken language of the piece was delivered in the same cold cut tone as a scientific manual but had the touch of deeply personal poetics of the struggle with the body. The text provides us with many concepts such as the examination of the body as house, the treatment of the dead, and the histories of anatomical theater. One of the most interesting sources is the text sourced from the "stud file†of writer Samuel Steward describing details and observations about his various erotic encounters with men. These excerpts when juxtaposed with the anatomical body texts create an interweaves narrative of the gay male body.
The expert choreography composed by Mark Jeffery and his collaborators holds the audience captive while working in correspondence the technological devices. The all male group of performers embraced, wrestled, fell, carried one another around the room like corpses, posed for examination, removed and readjusted each other's buttons and zippers, each performer functioning simultaneously as the displayer and the displayed. Even the lights become dancers moving around the room and repositioned by performers. Observes peer into the dancers bodies, guided by the ever-present examiners lights. As the scenes are constructed I am reminded of the painter Thomas Eakins and his paintings of medical theaters. The audiences enters ATOM-r's The Operature like a crime scene, attempting to paste together all the clues given through the use of dance, poetry and art as evidence. To quote text from the exhibition, "the evidence looked back at you awkwardly and defiantlyâ€, asking you investigate the margins of these clues. Your reward for your exploration is an involved and richly layered experience that speaks to the poetics of anatomy and left me feeling touched to the bone.
If you would like to see it for yourself the exhibition continues till March 29th. There will be two more shows this coming weekend on Friday and Saturday. The interactive exhibition is open at 6pm and performance begins 8pm. National Museum of Health and Medicine Chicago, 175 W. Washington, $15 at the door. Here for more info.

Adapting the Umwelt: Art Orienté objet
March 17, 2014 · Print This Article
In a 2007, Art Orienté objet, a French collaborative group comprised of Marion Laval-Jeantet and Benoît Mangin, began a series of body modification experiments intended to communicate with animals outside of language. "Basically the project was to artistically adapt Jacob von Uexküll's Umwelt theory, which argues that the meaning of an environment differs from one animal to another in relation to its sensorial system†(Marion Laval-Jeantet, "Self-Animality,†Plastik: Art and Science, June 2011). The project began with an investigation of cats — what eventually culminated in a single piece, Felinanthropy, where Laval-Jeantet put on a pair of cat-like prosthetic hindquarters; by transforming her status as a bi-ped, she was able to change the hierarchical relation between herself and the cat. A subsequent experimental work led Mangin to put on a prosthetic giraffe head and engage giraffes in a zoo — exploring the giraffe's ability to recognize Mangin not as a human, but as something almost giraffe. More recently, AOo embodied an equine perspective; Leval-Jeantet built up a tolerance to horse blood by injecting a small bit of the animal's plasma into her system over the course of a year. She subsequently staged a horse blood transfusion performance with her partner Benoît Mangin. What remains of Que le cheval vie en moi!, is the  "relic," a small, innocuous petri dish, with human/horse blood. In the following interview, originally conducted for Paper Monument where an affiliated essay, "Humanimals†was published, I asked Laval-Jeantet a few questions about this work. All answers have been translated into English by Basia Kapolka.
Caroline Picard: What were you anticipating the affect of injecting horse plasma into your blood steam would be? How did you expectations measure up with the reality of your experience?
Marion Laval-Jeantet: In a certain way, I knew what to expect from the injection of the horse plasma since I had received injections of the horse antibodies one at a time during the preceding months. But it was still difficult to imagine what the effect of receiving all the antibodies at once would be. In actuality, my body's reaction was much more unruly than predicted. I think the families of antibodies increased each other's effects, so that the final reaction was very complex, affecting even my metabolism, my endocrine glands, my nervous system, as well as my sleep and appetite.
CP: Also, did you use the blood of one specific horse? Did your relationship with that horse change at all?
MLJ: I used the blood of three specific horses that belong to the laboratory I worked with. You couldn't say I established genuine contact with the horses. On the other hand, I wasn't specifically familiar with the horses before the experiment. The experiment changed my psyche so that I saw the horses differently after it, with a different appreciation. A familiarity.
CP: Can you talk a little bit about your horse-stilts? How did your experience of your own body change?
MJL: The stilts were mostly there to allow me a different way of communicating with the horse who was present during the performance. I was a little afraid of horses, actually. And it seems like horses attitudes change completely when your eyes are at the same height as theirs. With the stilts, my eyes were the same height as his, and I could see that the horse was calmer. It was also a way for me to be aware of the reversal of roles between me and the animal. And naturally, it was a way to distract myself from the possible anxiety that might arise because of the infusion. Because I was on stilts, I could only think of the goal: to join with the animal, and not of the psychological problems that might come out during the performance. Experiments with prosthetics always affect your fears about your body, and in the performance it was necessary that I have a strong sense of a double transformation, mental and biological.
CP: Do you feel like your "self" has been forever altered? In other words, there is an idea I believe I, at least, take for granted: that is that my self is continuous and sustaining throughout a linear experience of time. This assumption is challenged by ideas of drastic plastic surgery, transplants and cloning, for instance–the self as it was defined before is fundamentally no longer the same self it was before. It seems to me your work poses similar a question: how can a distinctly human self sustain its identity when it has become, also, part horse?
MJL: Your question about fundamental change is completely fair. At the moment, I have a very strong sense that my body, and also my identity were deeply changed by the experience. In a physical sense, it's true. I will always have within me biological markers that bear witness to my meeting with the horse. The problem is that the external physiological effects seem to have only lasted a few months, and were strongest in the first four weeks. So today, even if there are some delayed reactions or long-term consequences, I can say that the transformation remains more in the mental structure than in the physical one. I have the sense of not having been completely human for some time. The experience changed my inner self forever. But this is also the case with previous strong experiences I've had, like my introduction to the pygmies of Gabon. Who made me see death. Each of these experiences makes my thoughts and my existence more complex, the more they change them. I believe deeply in the adaptation of the human body. More than in homeostasis. Existence itself is a permanent transformation, a constantly-evolving system. You speak of changes made to the body, but I think grief, for example, shakes up identity much more. My aim is not so much a transformation of my essence, as the wish to respond to an eternal frustration: to finally feel the animal otherness in myself, but also to stop thinking from a purely anthropocentric point of view. Already, the pygmies succeeding in making me feel the spirits in the forest, during a trance. I think that I am less and less purely human, which is to say that I am fundamentally more and more human, in the utopian sense of philosophical humanism.
Paper Monument was recently interview on the Bad at Sports podcast.
Anatomical Theatres of Mixed Reality: The Operature
January 29, 2014 · Print This Article
Last year I was invited by performance company ATOM-r (Anatomical Theatres of Mixed Reality) to sit in on several rehearsals while they worked on their latest piece together, The Operature. Since that time, the work has had a showing in York, they have produced a book with Pinups Magazine, recently opened a two person exhibition at Julius Caesar in Chicago, and continue to work towards the Chicago premiere of The Operature at the National Museum of Health and Medicine (175 w Washington, Chicago IL) March 21st, 22nd, and 28th 2014. A collection of notes from their rehearsals follows.
1. Chris' Back and Thigh
The theater holds between 200 and 300 spectators in six concentric galleries of narrow rows that provide standing room only. The bodies of the recently deceased are laid out as actors, like the dancer to the choreographer, the corpse submits itself to the movements of the doctor. The body following the request of the scalpel, as eager to articulate the interior secrets of the body as the doctor is to discover them.
2: Justin's Kidney and Chest
From where I sit in rehearsal I can easily make out the performers as they move about the table. Even as they tower above me, dancing from corner to corner. I need only lift my head slightly to keep them in my full view. The table is to my left. I am thinking about watching, about the pleasures of looking at bodies, and of the duets that emerge from my gaze. The duet between these men, their fingers nimbly grazing their partners torso, weight shared across thighs, every movement mirroring the duet of scalpel and chest, doctor to corpse, witness to theater, and beyond to the dimly lit corners of the farthest circle, where the excitement of discovering the interior of oneself is imagined with each brushing shoulder.
3: Sam's Ankle and Neck
Professor, tattoo artist, writer, and sexual misfit Samuel Steward kept a deeply coded and painstakingly noted account of his sexual encounters. Penile measurements sit alongside anecdotes and the occasional picture. A box of approximately 900 cards, the stud file is an archive of sexual experience and an attempt at exerting ownership over one's body. Stewards thirst is that of the anatomical doctor, both delighting in the bodily pursuit, in the ecstasy that comes from leaning against the submitted frame.
4: Blake's Pubic Bone and Shoulder
In rehearsal, at the moment, we are oscillating between the record of Samuel Steward and the technology of the anatomical theater. Movements are derived equally from sexual and surgical acts, both having striking similarities conceptually and visually. Through each week and each iteration of the work, I am left to ponder the watching of bodies as they are laid out before eager spectators, however they might be displayed in private or public exhibitions and however large or small the audience might be. This is how I understand the performance to function: as a technology of looking. The way a photograph captures a submitted partner or the way a surgical table in the center of an audience can amplify the form.

Tapi River, Thailand
The Tapi (or Tapee) river (Thai: แม่น้ำตาปี, rtgs: Maenam Tapi, Thai pronunciation: [mɛ̂ːnáːm tāːpīː]) is the longest river in southern Thailand. The river originates at the Khao Luang mountain in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, and has a wide estuary into the Gulf of Thailand at Bandon Bay near the town of Surat Thani. It has a length of 230 kilometres (140 mi).
The river drains an area of 5,460 square kilometres (2,110 sq mi) and in 1997 had a yearly discharge of 135.4 cubic metres per second (4,780 cu ft/s) or 4.3 cubic kilometres (3,500,000 acre·ft) per year. The Phum Duang River (or Khiri Rat River), which drains another 6,125 square kilometres (2,365 sq mi) west of the Tapi watershed, joins the estuary 15 kilometres (9 mi) west of Surat Thani in Amphoe Phunphin.
The river was named on July 29, 1915, after the river Tapi in surat,India, shortly after the town of Surat Thani was named after the town Surat from Gujarat,India.
The island of Ko Lamphu (เกาะลำพู) is in the Tapi River, about 9 kilometres (6 mi) from its mouth, right by the Surat Thani town center.[1]
In 1975, an area of 29.6 square kilometres (11.4 sq mi) of swamp land on the east bank of the river in the district Khian Sa was declared the Nong Thung Thong non-hunting area.

FORT LEE, V.a (March 27, 2014) -- A meeting of motorcycle mentors here Friday included important words of advice from professional BMW rider Domonic Anderson and nationally recognized comedian Micah "Bam-Bamm" White. Both are long-time riders and advocates of a new SAFE (Soldiers Are For Example) campaign that is meant to encourage proper motorcycle maintenance and reduce potential risky riding habits among military members of all services.
"I have been riding since I was 12 years old, and I have put a lot of bikes down on the pavement because I used to be young, dumb and crazy with the stunts," Anderson told the small group of noncommissioned officers who had gathered at the Motorcycle Training Facility on the corner of Mahone and A Avenues. Each of them represented a major training school on the installation as well as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, CASCOM.
"I was lucky to survive that period in my life," Anderson also said. "It taught me to never take chances whether I'm out riding around the neighborhood or racing around the track. I'm here today to share my experiences and the things I've learned as a professional driver."
White, who started riding at age 13, said he also recalls the moments when he "stopped respecting the bike" and wound up on the ground. "I was a back-road runner; a jockey who raced other people's bikes," he noted. "I've put it down on gravel as well as the freeway, and every time it was because I lost the focus on my own safety."
After those introductory remarks, Anderson assigned a motorcycle to each of the NCOs and asked them to conduct a standard T-CLOCS (tires, controls, lights, oil, chassis and stands) inspection. As they performed that task, he circulated among them to answer questions and share insights about the foolproof maintenance checks he has learned on the track.
"Too many riders want to take shortcuts," he told the group afterward. "They figure their bike worked OK when they parked it last time, so it should be good to go for that next ride and the one after that. They get into that mentality that they're 'just taking it around the block or down the street a few miles, so what could possibly go wrong?' That's what makes the job you do so important. You're making them stop and think about it; what could happen at any moment when I'm out there on the road?"
The participating NCOs also shared their experiences. Sgt. 1st Class Glenn Cook from CASCOM described his method for standardized inspections that decrease the chance of an overlooked deficiency while shortening the amount of time it takes to complete a unit-wide inspection.
It was exactly the type of dialogue that the event organizer, Sgt. Maj. Rahsan Mitchell from the 59th Ordnance Brigade, had anticipated. "We have to be unified in our approach to motorcycle safety," he said. "You can't just hand someone a checklist and expect them to be effective motorcycle mentors. There has to be a common standard and sound knowledge of what you're supposed to do. That's what this train-the-trainer event was meant to accomplish."
The Fort Lee Safety Office also was instrumental in bringing the event together. That office will host a "Motorcycle Extravaganza" on Saturday, 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., at the MTF. It's open to the entire community and will feature motorcycle inspections, skills challenges, children's activities and displays of different bike-related products.
"We estimate there are approximately 740 motorcycle operators on the installation, so I'm hoping for a very big turnout," said Safety Office representative Edward Newell. "I can't think of a better way to start out the 2014 riding season … let's make this the biggest motorcycle mentorship event that Fort Lee has ever seen."

If there is a state statute about leaving a weapon accessible to a minor, then yes, he should be charged.
This is a discussion on Duty weapon used in School Shooting within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Hmmm. At age 17 you can join the military with consent. If you are acting a butt on the football field with your car and ...
Yes- he was negligent
No- he has suffered enough
No- he did nothing wrong
Hmmm. At age 17 you can join the military with consent. If you are acting a butt on the football field with your car and get suspended from school and get all mad and stuff, and then like go and get your dads gun and shoot the principle...well of course it's your dads fault.
Maybe the "nanny state" is to blame.
Who should be be held accountable? Well maybe mister 17 year old has already made that determination and punished the principle for suspending him and punished his father for what ever punishment he was going to render.
Case closed.
Punishment lasting forever.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
If there is a state statute about leaving a weapon accessible to a minor, then yes, he should be charged.
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
I voted no, he did nothing wrong.
As a son of two LEOs, guns was available to me at anytime. With that being said, it seams like the kid was a high school kid since he got kicked out of school for driving his car. IMO, if your old enough to drive a car, then your old enough to know better than to take someones live. I do not thing that the parents should be held under the gun (no pun) for this.
Sig Sauer: P938 9mm Smith and Wesson: Sigma SW9VE 9mm
I vote yes, the father was responsible for teaching his son about right and wrong, if he left his duty weapon unsecured for his son to steal, yes he was negligent because he enabled a minor to commit a crime, its the same as a parent who leaves alcohol in plain sight and view of their child, the child getting drunk then going out and driving. The parent is responsible for allowing the minor easy access to alcohol. Had it been a complete stranger who stole the gun he would not be negligent, but since this was his own kid, in my opinion he should have taught him better
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women

This Fourth Edition of Derek Haylock's much loved textbook has been fully revised and restructured to match the current Attainment Targets for mathematics in England. Every chapter is written in a way that integrates children's learning, classroom practice and the teacher's own requirements for subject knowledge, making this the ideal text for primary PGCE courses. Some of the changes in the new edition include: two new chapters on mathematics in the primary curriculum and learning to learn mathematics; more prominence given to using and applying mathematics; sections matching the attainment targets for mathematics; more learning and teaching points highlighted throughout the text; further material on number, risk, use of ICT, graphs and data-handling; a research focus in every chapter. The companion website provides a glossary and additional material to enable primary trainees to prepare with confidence for the ITT Numeracy test, and provides details of how each chapter of the book is linked to the National Curriculum. This will be updated to reflect any updates to the National Curriculum as they are introduced. Extensively used on primary PGCE courses and undergraduate courses leading to QTS, this bestselling book is an essential resource for all trainee primary teachers. A companion Student Workbook is also available, which: provides self-assessment activities for students to check their understanding of key concepts; helps students to practise key mathematical processes and to apply mathematics in real-life situations; and gives opportunities to apply their knowledge to teaching and learning.

In the Set your default programs window, you have the ability to allow an application to open all the file types it knows how to handle by default. I have installed several programs, but almost none of them show up. In fact, Mozilla Firefox and Postbox are the only two aside from the built in Windows applications (Paint, Windows Media Player, etc.). How do I add applications to this list so that I don't have to assign each file type to a specific application one by one?
According to MSDN, only applications which make use of this feature can add to the list
I've successfully added Chromium to that list, here is how I did it:
If you want to do it to your program, just replace all that seems necessary from following regfile.
For Chromium, replace at least the path:
Put following snippet to somefile.reg:
Then as usual with reg files, you must double click to run them.
To allow Chrome to appear in the Default Programs, use regedit to check the correct file path for chrome.exe appears here...
if not, change the original executable file from whatever it was,
eg. > "GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\chrome.exe"
if Chrome was installed without Admin rights on windows then it will not show up the 'Set Default Programs' list, however it can be set to default (and added to the list) from Chrome by
