High and Dry, Smoke and Fog is inspired by cars… the joy, the freedom, the mechanics, the dependence, the status symbol, the technology, the social responsibility, the sex appeal, the pollution, the speed, the danger, the commute, the traffic, the exhilarating road trip, the urban sprawl and the transportation conundrum. The artwork in this exhibition addresses the paradox of these topics; some works evoke it directly, some abstrusely. The work also illustrates the general human desire for movement and exploration, and how mankind’s pioneering, adventurous spirit has come to manifest itself today in our motor transportation. Particularly in Los Angeles – the American metropolis supreme – whose complicated relationship with cars, traffic and transportation is both fascinating and poignant. L.A. is the only major city that was entirely shaped by the automobile. In 1964, Marshall McLuhan said, “The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete.” Currently, Los Angeles County is in the top ten dirtiest counties in the U.S. for air pollution.
Phantom Galleries LA is a Los Angeles County-based organization that transforms unoccupied storefronts and spaces into temporary art galleries. Exhibits are curated by local arts organizations, Los Angeles-based galleries, independent curators, and Los Angeles-based artists. The project gives artists an opportunity to exhibit their work, while promoting the creative community to a broader audience and keeping the area looking vital and culturally exciting. The spaces are lit and on view 24 hours a day.
High and Dry, Smoke and Fog is open by appointment, as well as the following Saturdays – June 16, June 23 and June 30 – from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday, June 17, 2007 in conjunction with the Rodeo Drive Concours D’Elegance, celebrating the art of California car culture.

To prepare for an upcoming workshop, I'm focusing on upcycling paper for my thing-a-day projects this week. I've wanted to try to make paper beads out of security envelopes for a while. I love the different patterns on the inside of them.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups.
"In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003," reads an overview of the examination, conducted by the Center for Public Integrity and its affiliated group, the Fund for Independence in Journalism.
According to the study, Bush and seven top officials -- including Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice -- made 935 false statements about Iraq during those two years.
The study was based on a searchable database compiled of primary sources, such as official government transcripts and speeches, and secondary sources -- mainly quotes from major media organizations. See CNN viewers' reactions to the study »
The study says Bush made 232 false statements about Iraq and former leader Saddam Hussein's possessing weapons of mass destruction, and 28 false statements about Iraq's links to al Qaeda.
Bush has consistently asserted that at the time he and other officials made the statements, the intelligence community of the U.S. and several other nations, including Britain, believed Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
He has repeatedly said that despite the intelligence flaws, removing Hussein from power was the right thing to do.
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Press Secretary Ari Fleischer each made 109 false statements, it says. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz made 85, Rice made 56, Cheney made 48 and Scott McLellan, also a press secretary, made 14, the study says.
"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al Qaeda," the report reads, citing multiple government reports, including those by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the 9/11 Commission and the multinational Iraq Survey Group, which reported that Hussein had suspended Iraq's nuclear program in 1991 and made little effort to revive it.
The overview of the study also calls the media to task, saying most media outlets didn't do enough to investigate the claims.
"Some journalists -- indeed, even some entire news organizations -- have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical," the report reads. "These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional, 'independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements about Iraq."
The quotes in the study include an August 26, 2002, statement by Cheney to the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction," Cheney said. "There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

The Kiwicon name tags are the best I've ever seen. It's always a surprise what crazy thing the Crüe comes up with. This year it was floppy disks. Regular attendees and staff got the small 3 1/2-inch ones where as speakers and the Crüe had 5 1/4-inch and 8-inch ones respectively. Just awesome.

Facebook has a nice feature (yes, really) when you log in from a location you've not been to before. I've seen this a lot recently.You can either answer your secret question or identify friends from a series of photos, of which you're only allowed to get two wrong.
As I discovered this morning, this falls down when photos aren't of a person. Normally it gives you two photos of each person, but not on this occasion.

Greater Manchester Police has just concluded this year’s Operation Protector. The operation is put in place whenever one of the major political parties holds an annual conference in the city.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare said: “Manchester has been host to the annual Conservative Party Conference since Sunday 29 September 2013.
“This has been a major security operation for Greater Manchester Police which has caused some disruption to residents, visitors and businesses across the city.
“We have worked closely with our partners to ensure that we struck the right balance between security and the day to day life of the City.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Manchester for their patience and support over the last week or so.”
Next year Manchester will host the Labour Party’s annual conference.

These two guys were taking photos when I walked up. We had a good laugh. Amazing. USC security must have had a rough night. The guy was out cold.
