Adrian's Wall unveiled
* New 'wall' pays tribute to Mersey Poet Adrian Henri
* Roger McGough and Brian Patten to attend unveiling
* Media opportunity: Saturday, October 20, 12.30pm
A large-scale artwork commemorating the late Mersey Poet Adrian
Henri is to be launched at St George's Hall.
'Adrian's Wall' features tributes to some of Henri's most
iconic
Liverpool paintings, alongside three tribute poems based on his work,
penned by students from Broadgreen High and St Silas CP School.
The commemorative installation - which was commissioned by the
Liverpool Culture Company - measures a massive 12ft by 20ft.
The wall will be unveiled on Saturday, October 20 by Henri's
partner Catherine Marcangeli, in the company of his two fellow Mersey
Poets Roger McGough and Brian Patten.
Adrian's Wall was conceived by poet and playwright Phil Bowen,
author of 'A Gallery to Play to: The Story of the Mersey Poets'. He is
now looking for a home for the installation so that it can go on show
to
the public during Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture in
2008. Phil said: "I originally came up with the idea for the
installation back in the late 1990s, during one of Adrian's last live
performances.
"Adrian's Wall is an obvious play on words, but I also saw it
as
an opportunity to combine elements of both Adrian's poetry and visual
art."
"Having remained committed to the project for nearly a decade
I'm delighted to finally see it brought to life."
Councillor Warren Bradley, leader of Liverpool city council and
deputy chair of the Liverpool Culture Company, said: "The Mersey Poets
made an important contribution to the city's cultural fabric at a time
when Liverpool was at the forefront of a movement that swept the UK.
"Their legacy is still felt strongly today, especially as we
enter a new chapter in Liverpool's history with the city's stewardship
of European Capital of Culture next year.
ENDS
Notes to Editors:
* Adrian Henri first rose to prominence during the 1960s, and is
perhaps best known for 'The Mersey Sound' - his poetry anthology with
Roger McGough and Brian Patten. He died in Liverpool in 2000 aged 68.
* Created at St James Church in Toxteth, the artwork for Adrian's
Wall was produced by Ian Town and Sophie Backhouse of Urban Art, and
the
wall itself was constructed by Terry O'Hara.
* Adrian's Wall combines elements of Henri's visual art,
including
the painting 'The Entry of Christ into Liverpool', with his poetry.
Pupils at St Silas CP school wrote their own version of 'Love is',
while
Broadgreen High produced versions of 'Tonight at Noon' and 'Me'.
* Due to the size of Adrian's Wall, it will not be on show to the
public at St George's Hall. The installation's creator Phil Bowen is
currently looking for a permanent home for the piece.
Media opportunity:
What: 'Adrian's Wall' is unveiled by Catherine Marcangeli
When: Saturday, October 20, 12 noon for 12.30pm
Where: North Entrance of St George's Hall, Liverpool

431 Pine Street, Burlington, Vermont USA • By the rear entrance is this sculpture made to look like a cluster of red-painted tree trunks; they're actually thick plastic, hollow and lighted.
Built in 1900, the Maltex Building was the factory headquarters of the Malted Cereal Company, later known as Maltex, which produced cereal and other malted products through the early 1970s. The company was famous for its maple-flavored cereal called Maypo. The building was built by William J. Van Patten, president of the company and a prominent citizen who also served as mayor of Burlington and a state senator.
At its peak, Maltex was producing up to 300 cases of cereal a day, and was a desirable place of employment at the turn of the century. Employees were treated well and had access to affordable lunches and other benefits rarely granted to employees of that era. Later, Maltex was acquired by another company and the building became home to other industries. Then in 1984, a federal grant helped to transform it into a thriving business haven filled with historic high-ceilinged office space and light manufacturing facilities.
The spirit of Maltex continues today, as the building is one of the most desirable places to work in Burlington’s south end. Its pleasant and professional offices have easy access to cafés, services and art galleries nearby, plus a bakery, market/deli and coffee shop right across the street. – From the website of today's Maltex Building.

APPROXIMATE RELEASE DATE: 1992-2007
MISSING ITEMS: Mittens, 2 pattens
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I actually saw the pattens that originally came with this set at the flea market when I bought this muff, but I wasn't sure what they were. I knew that they had to be American Girl, but since they weren't ice skates, I was confused. I was sorely disappointed when I got home and identified them as part of this set. The next weekend, the people who had sold me this muff were no longer selling American Girl items. I guess I shouldn't be too disappointed though. It's not like Lissie could have worn her pattens on display, since my cabinets are short. I do think it's really cool though that colonial people wore pattens when it was raining out, in order to avoid stepping in puddles! I really love my muff regardless of the fact that I don't have the rest of this set--it looks awesome with Felicity's Christmas Gown on my display.

In response to a question asked of me here, I did a little research on Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance® Original Ultra™ Ultra-Premium Dry Cat Food. I was comparing Natural Balance chow with Kirkland's Signature Brand which I am feeding to my own cats with great results.
Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance® Original Ultra™ Ultra-Premium Dry Cat Food is made with:
Chicken Meal, Chicken, Brown Rice, Duck Meal, Barley, Oatmeal, Chicken Fat (Preserved With Natural Mixed Tocopherols), Potatoes, Carrots, Lamb Meal, Salmon Meal, Canola Oil, Natural Flavor, Dried Egg, Brewers Yeast, Whole Ground Flaxseed, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Spinach, Parsley Flakes, Cranberries, L-Lysine, L-Carnitine, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Dried Kelp, Zinc Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B-1), Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, Potassium Iodide, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Manganous Oxide, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Folic Acid.
I do see some good ingredients in this chow, and it does seem like a step in the right direction since it does not contain gluten, by-products or corn, but that word, MEAL keeps popping up. It occurs four times near the top of the label. In fact the very first and most important ingredient is chicken MEAL, not chicken. (Kirkland's has chicken meal listed too, but it's only listed once, not four times, and it's listed second, after chicken, so real chicken is the main ingredient in Kirkland's.)
Franny Syufy writes in her article "What cat food ingredients should I avoid?",
Meat Meal, Meat By-Product Meal
"Meal" is generally produced by rendering, a process which raises a red flag to cat enthusiasts. I would definitely recommend avoiding cat foods containing these ingredients.
Here's a paragraph from the Born Free USA website article "What's Really in Pet Food?" that explains rendering:
What is rendering? As defined by Webster’s Dictionary, to render is “to process as for industrial use: to render livestock carcasses and to extract oil from fat, blubber, etc., by melting.” In other words, raw materials are dumped into large vat and boiled for several hours. Rendering separates fat, removes water, and kills bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other organisms. However, the high temperatures used in rendering (270°F/130°C) can alter or destroy natural enzymes and proteins found in the raw ingredients.
I found the following bragging statement to be particularly deceptive, in light of the information provided above about rendering:
"Fresh Chicken, Duck Meal, New Zealand Lamb Meal Premium quality meats and New Zealand Lamb Meal. This unique blend of fresh, high quality proteins provides the essential amino acids to help maintain strong muscle tone and a healthy, shiny coat."
I like the way they list Fresh Chicken here, but it's third on the ingredients panel, after chicken MEAL and Rice. How can they call meat MEAL "Premium quality meats"? or "Fresh"??? How can they say that this product has any high quality proteins or essential amino acids at all after being rendered? If you sat down at a top quality restaurant and ordered a steak dinner, and they put before you a plate of boiled animal mush sprayed with expired french fry grease, would you feel like you got a quality dinner?
I also note that Natural Balance chow contains POTATOES. The person who first mentioned this chow to me and posed the question that started this latest chapter of pet chow research said that her cat was nothing but bones and fur. Potatoes would certainly be a source of calories for a cat to gain weight. But keep in mind that cats are natural carnivores, and don't require carbohydrates at all. The potato carbs might put weight on your kitty, but I would prefer the cat to gain muscle mass, not fat. I do not recommend this food or foods that contain corn products for overweight cats. I would rather see a cat gain weight from eating more protein from quality meats.
Overall, I would say (remember, this is only MY opinion, not science!) that Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Utlra Premium Cat Chow is an okay food. It's certainly a better choice than Iams, or many other supermarket brands available for lower cost, but the label claims that the chow is "ULTRA PREMIUM", and I can't say it is either.
You can read about Natural Balance "Diet" Cat Chow here.

I took this photo in the spring of 1969 to show my family and friends down here in Dundalk, Maryland what it was like up there at Katahdin Lodge of Patten, Maine on a typical Sunday afternoon.
Whewee! I luv the sculpted lines of that "Trumpet"—that'd be Triumph 650 Motorcycle to you non-motorcyclists.
That gray clad country gentleman leaning in the doorway is Morris, and the smiling woman on the back of the Triumph 650 Motorcycle is his good wife Marge. Morris and Marge were very close friends to my Uncle Finley and Aunt Martha, and the two couples often spent time together.
Morris and Marge, Fin and Marty, and I were all in the Lodge's dining room playing Cribbage and sharing great conversation, when Gary and Cathy Glidden pulled into the dooryard on their motorcycle. They were just stopping by for a quick visit. Gary and Cathy worked at the Lodge during hunting season—Gary as a hunting and fishing guide and Cathy on the housekeeping staff. They wanted to know when they should start working at the Lodge for that upcoming bear hunting season.
That is Cathy back there in the helmet, of coarse, and you can just see Marty's right shoulder there on the other side of Gary.
One of my nephews saw this photo and thought that Fin looked like he was angry at Gary, but it is just a tad bit of a serious talk going on between them there for a minute or two. They were fairly well matched as working partners and had tracked many a wounded bear or deer through the woods together, often at night, and had shown plenty of paying sportsmen good, safe, successful, memorable times in the vast Maine woods.
The TV reception at the Lodge was limited to about two and a half stations. One was always from over in Woodstock, Canada. And the weather had first say on which ones we could tune in to at any time.
No matter. Listening to Fin, Marty and our Mainer friends, like Morris and Marge, tell stories, some true some not so at all, was far better entertainment than TV any day of the week.
I was setting at the Lodge's Cribbage Board and Yahtzee Game adorned dining room table, one friend filled Sunday, when I was hit with an epiphany of life affirming solidation. This was after having to hold onto to the table and my chair at least once or twice to keep from sliding off onto the floor into a puddle of pained, side-splitting, laughter. I had managed to keep it under control though, because it was 35 to 40 miles to the nearest hospital. And not one doctor in between. Can't be bustin' a gut due to overwhelming hilarity way up there in the woods like that.
The epiphany was: Listening to tall tales told well is no more like being an audience member at the Liars Club Yearly Awards Banquet than watching comedy shows on television is.
You are not supposed to "believe anything you hear and only half of what you see" (Joe Stanboni my Dundalk neighbor taught me that back in '66), which truly applies to TV, and telling tall tales, if anything.
I realized on that Cribbage and Yahtzee game playing, tall tale telling Sunday evening in Maine, that tall tales are a direct ancestor of most movies and television shows.
I thoroughly enjoyed my Sundays spent amongst those finest kind of country folk.

St Margaret Pattens Eastcheap is the guild chuch of both Basketmakers(Ranked 52) and Pattenmakers(Ranked 70) The church was one of Wren's built following the great fire.
St Margaret Pattens, Rood Lane, London EC3, 1684-87.
By Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723).
Grade l listed.
When this church was built there were several other churches dedicated to St Margaret therefore a distinctive title was needed. That of “Pattens” was chosen because they were made and sold close to the church.
A patten was a type of "undershoe" consisting of a wooden sole fitted with leather straps and mounted on a large metal ring to raise the wearer from the muddy roads. By fastening the shoe on top of this with a leather strap, the wearer could walk through the mud of the City and arrive cleanshod.
With the paving of the streets, the trade died out and it is thought that the last working pattenmaker died in the 19th century. However, a pattenmaker was still listed in a trade reference in the 1920s. A notice in the church still “requests women to leave their Pattens before entering”.
An alternative theory is that the name commemorates a benefactor, possibly one Ranulf Patin, a canon at St Paul's Cathedral during the medieval period.
I hunted and killed Snowshoe Hares for the caged Bobcats, so that they could have some natural food. The guts of a rabbit have lots of good, fresh vitamins and other nutrients that the cats didn't get from store bought food. Rabbit fur helps to clean parasites out of the cat's digestive system. At least that's what my Uncle Finley said. And it sounds right to me.
I had to climb into the wooden floored cage and scrub out the cat scat, about twice a month or so. The cage had two sections, with a door between them that was closed with the cats on one side and me in the other side, down on my hands and knees just a scrubbing away. It was only fair to the cats to clean up their living quarters for them. That task never really bothered me at all.
I used to hand feed strips of leftover, cooked roast beef to the male Bobcat. That was just as much a treat for any onlookers as it was for Bobby. I only hand fed the Bobcat when some of our paying guests, or some tourists from campgrounds or other lodges or some local Maine folks were out there checking out the Bobcats. Maine residents driving by on Rural Route 11 out front would sometimes stop to show their kids the Bobcats.
When I walked up to the cage to hand feed Bobby some beef strips, he would calmly, coolly sit on the wooden floor of the cage, while appearing to completely, comfortably ignore the world around him.
The floor sat about a foot and a half off the ground.
You can't see it in these photos, but the entire cage was wrapped with chain link fence, and it had a solid wooden roof.
When hand feeding Bobby the strips of beef, I would stand two arm's lengths away from the cage, while holding my arm halfway out away from my body and dangling a four to six inch strip of beef from my between my thumb and index finger. Oh, and that was one of my arm's lengths plus one of Bobby's. Then I slowly extended my arm in towards the cage, while moving the dangling meat in towards the comfortably sitting, cool, calm, collected Bobby; as soon as the meat was eggsactley' close enough for Bobby to reach it, he went for it. He jumped up, crammed his right front leg as far out into the air as he could possibly stretch it, out through one of the multitude of openings in the cage's fencing, and he swiped the meat strip out of my hand. As he did, I let go of the meat.
Bobby made those moves like he was greased lightning.
What I never did with the meat strips was to test the speed of my hand-eye coordination against his by yanking the meat back as soon as Bobby leaped up off the floor. And I never tried to hold onto it either.
Several times, I was asked by onlookers if I had ever tried do those things. I always told them that there was no way a human could beat that Bobcat's speed and agility. And had I tried to tightly hold onto the meat, the cat would have fought me with a few quick, deep claw cuts to my bare hand. Plus, if I had ever tried making either of those stupid mistakes, but had actually kept the meat from Bobby, it would have been teasing the cat, would have been mean to the caged animal.
Bobby could have easily grabbed my bare hand, instead of the beef strip. Anytime he wanted to. He could have easily reached his paw up a few inches higher and sunk his claws into my hand to pull it in closer where he could grab hold of the meat even easier. He'd have done it so fast I couldn't have ever beaten his speed.
He and I were good buddies. I didn't tease or torment him by offering food, then whisking it away or holding onto it when he went for it. And he only sank his sharp, powerful claws into the beef, not my hand.
It was awesome to see that cat move so fast that the human eyes carefully watching Bobby and I barely saw him move at all. He was just a light brown blur through the air. First he was a bored looking cat just sitting on the floor of his cage; then he was a flash of light brown lightning with his front right paw sticking out of his cage as far as it could possibly reach; then he was sitting back on the floor of the cage enjoying his tasty snack. It was a neat little, entertaining show we had created together.
I don't know how much Bobby enjoyed all that, but it always made my day a better one.

This is the sculpture in Centenary Square outside Baskerville House called Industry and Genius.
It honours John Baskerville as the inventor of the Baskerville typeface.
It stands outside the main entrance of Baskerville House.
It is by David Patten and was made in 1990. The letters spell out Virgil, the name of the Roman poet whose works were printed by Baskerville in his typeface in 1757.
It is made out of Portland stone and bronze.
Under the name of the sculpture it says A Fable.
That might be to do with one of Baskerville's poems.

Range fire and stampede dime novel, Tip Top Weekly No. 703, October 2, 1909, Dick Merriwell's Quirt; or, The Sting of the Lash by Burt L. Standish (Gilbert Patten).
This is the sculpture in Centenary Square outside Baskerville House called Industry and Genius.
It honours John Baskerville as the inventor of the Baskerville typeface.
It stands outside the main entrance of Baskerville House.
It is by David Patten and was made in 1990. The letters spell out Virgil, the name of the Roman poet whose works were printed by Baskerville in his typeface in 1757.
It is made out of Portland stone and bronze.
Under the name of the sculpture it says A Fable.
That might be to do with one of Baskerville's poems.
4. Industry and Genius; or, the Origin of Birmingham. A Fable
