All aboard for a mini-trip to the countryside of Italy without the hassles of airport security! Film Lovers in Carroll County (FLICC) has chosen the lavishly romantic film “Enchanted April” to be screened at the Carroll Arts Center on Friday, April 2 at 8 pm.

Since this Academy Award winning film is such a favorite with the ladies, it was scheduled to coincide with the annual Purse Auction sponsored by Seniors Keep in Touch (SKIT) that is also held at the Carroll Arts Center.

Set during post World War I, this gorgeously filmed story follows four women who rent a chateau on a remote Italian island to try to come to grips with their lives and relationships.

They explore the differences in their personalities, reassess their goals, and reexamine their relationships in a sisterly fashion. Together they find romance, hope and ultimately liberation during their month-long holiday.

It is described as a sumptuous “mini-trip” through the breathtaking countryside of Italy.

The 1992 film runs 95 minutes and is rated PG.

It stars Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson.

Audience members are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a glass of wine and shop at the Purse Auction.

Tickets are $6 for adults/$5 for Arts Council members, seniors 60+ and students 18 & Under.

The Carroll Arts Center is located at 91 West Main Street in downtown Westminster.

For more information or to purchase tickets with a credit card, go to www.CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org or call 410/848-7272.

5 Essential Tools for the Mobile Journalist http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/02/5-essential-tools-for-mobile-journalist.html

Mashable – The Social Media Guide

The multi-function playground that is the smartphone has shrunk the capabilities of a van-sized 1970’s news team into the pocket of a single reporter. Today, front-page news can stream from any individual with a cell phone camera and a Twitter account, as it did during Iran’s election protests last summer. Today, major news outlets, such as CNN, have crowdsourced parts of their newsroom to locally-savvy citizen journalists, often armed with little more than a camcorder.

In addition to the standard smartphone equipment, such as a camera and social networking applications, we’ve compiled a list of five additional tools that can help a single journalist rival a fully-functional news team. With these tools, a mobile journalist can record data, edit clips, and broadcast polished stories as events unfold.

Reception held for McDaniel president-elect
Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/10y4as or here: http://kevindayhoff.tumblr.com/post/366595341/reception-held-for-mcdaniel-president-elect
January 27, 2010 by Kevin Dayhoff

Last Wednesday, Westminster community leaders had an opportunity to meet and welcome McDaniel president-elect Dr. Roger N. Casey and his wife, Ms. Robyn Allers at a reception held at the Carroll Arts Council.

Casey, 48, was selected by the McDaniel board of trustees to serve as the 142-year-old college’s ninth president on December 17 to succeed President Joan Develin Coley as of July 1, 2010.

An article published in Explore Carroll on April 22, 2009 noted, “Coley announced her retirement at an executive session of the April 18 board of trustees meeting at the college. Coley has served as McDaniel’s president for 10 years and her retirement will start June 30, 2010…

“Coley has spent her life in higher education, accumulating 40 years of experience in the classroom and in administration. Prior to her serving as McDaniel president, she served as provost for six years. She joined the college faculty in 1973 as director of the Graduate Reading Program and was later promoted to serve as dean of Graduate Affairs and chair of the Department of Education…

‘It has been my great fortune to spend almost all of my working life on this [McDaniel] college campus, a place I love and believe in with unreasonable passion,’ she said in a news release issued today by the college.”

Casey currently serves as the vice president of academic affairs and provost of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. He was chosen to lead the college during a national search conducted by a presidential search committee, led by Mary Lynn Durham, a 1970 graduate of the college, who serves as the vice chair of the board of trustees, eight trustees, three elected faculty members, one administrator and one student.

“During the search interviews and campus visits, Dr. Casey distinguished himself as a visionary leader who understands McDaniel’s steadfast commitment to academic excellence through collaborative learning and deliberate faculty mentoring of students,”, said Martin K. P. Hill, chairman of McDaniel’s board of trustees, according to the McDaniel College web site.

“We are absolutely confident that Roger will respect our traditions and realize our aspirations through focusing the College’s vision, advancing its mission and implementing its strategic plan.”

“With labor and love, I will do my best to live up to the expectations of those who have given me the chance to be the organizational leader of a community that champions the tradition of liberal arts education. … Great things lie ahead for McDaniel,” said Casey, in a letter addressed to the McDaniel community posted on the college’s web site.

“The sense of community that undergirds it, is what first drew me to ‘the Hill,’” continued Casey in his letter. “Building on the exceptional work of President Coley and her predecessors, my job is now clear: to make sure everyone hears the fullest understanding of what that tradition and its present manifestation means at McDaniel.

“I believe that message is important to our existing community, to future students, to this region, to donors and other supporters, to American higher education, and to the world. The message is that McDaniel makes a difference.”

Casey is a South Carolina native who “graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Furman University in 1983 and went on to earn both an M.A. degree and a Ph.D. in English from Florida State University,” according to the McDaniel College web site.

Allers was in her element at the arts council reception. She currently serves “as the interim director of Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins,” said the web article introducing the president-elect last December.

“Prior to Rollins, Casey served Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama as an associate dean and professor from 1991-2000.”

At the reception, Casey, who has studied and traveled in more than 60 countries, noted that he was also right at home in the Tevis Gallery at the Arts Council. Behind him, as he shared brief remarks, was the art of a number of artists who grew-up in other parts of the world, but now make Maryland their home.

Casey said in his letter to the McDaniel community last December, when it was announced that he was appointed, that he and his wife were traveling in Laos.

Hill noted the international flair of the reception in his introductory remarks; noting that the “current exhibit, ‘Ubuntu,’ is a collection of international artists… It serves as a perfect back drop” for the reception. “Dr. Roger Casey is himself an advocate for the transformational nature of global study and travel.”

“In 1994, Casey was named a Fellow of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation that supported his travel to 16 countries over a four-year period to examine the role of vision in the creation of community, a transformational experience that has instilled a strong sense of global and local responsibility,” according to McDaniel College.

“His current scholarly passions,” according to information from McDaniel, “include exploring the organizational behaviors of Generation X and The Millennials, examining literary and film depictions of teachers and students, and studying the impact of social media on higher education. His expertise in these areas earns him frequent invitations to present at both national academic conferences and in corporate settings.”

It was also noted that, “He has been a theatrical producer, director, and actor, most recently in 2006 as F. Scott Fitzgerald in a Winter Park production of ‘Devotedly, With Dearest Love: The Letters of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald.’”

Hill also noted at the reception, “Each of the eight previous presidents at McDaniel have found it easy to feel at home in Westminster. I am certain this will be the first of many opportunities to meet and get to know Roger and Robyn.”

Allers shared in a conversation with several folks who had gathered around her, including Marcus Lee Primm, Dave Bollinger, and Corynne Courpas, that she and Casey had quietly visited Westminster and the college one day last fall.

She remarked that she and her husband were impressed with the sense of community and history, and the friendliness of the students and the Westminster community.

“How delighted we are, Robyn and I, to meet you… We are looking forward to calling Westminster our home,” said Casey in his remarks at the reception. “It is an honor to follow in Joan’s (Coley’s) footsteps…”

Commissioners Mike Zimmer and Dean Minnich joined with county chief of staff, Steve Powell to meet the new president. Minnich, who had noted that Allers is also a writer, expressed that he was eager to get to know the president-elect and his wife.

Also, present were Westminster mayor Kevin Utz, along with council members Damian Halstad, Tony Chiavacci, Dr. Robert Wack, and Greg Pecoraro. Halstad, also a writer, nodded in approval as Audrey Cimino, the executive director of the Community Foundation of Carroll County, and also an actress, singer and fan of the theatre, looked on.

“We’ve always had a great relationship with the college and we’re looking forward to continuing that relationship with Dr. Casey,” said Halstad.

Goethe’s mannequin legs

The Blue Phase
Click here for a larger image: http://twitpic.com/10wj8a or here: http://kevindayhoff.tumblr.com/post/365494641/goethes-mannequin-legs-reveals-2-haller-in

“It was late one afternoon when the blue phase began”

Goethe reveals to Haller a tiny likeness of a woman's leg

A meandering, in search of a plot, by Kevin Dayhoff Jan. 23, 2010…

It’s a long story, however the other day I found myself in a meeting in which all I could think of was “Steppenwolf,” by Herman Hesse. To protect the guilty, I’ll spare you the details of the circumstances of the meeting. Especially since, n the long-run; it is all so boring and meaningless.

In Herman Hesse’s “Steppenwolf,” originally published in 1927, the main character, Harry Haller has fallen into deep despair and therefore, has determined that he will end his life.

According to commentary by Bob Corbett, written in December 2001, “In this strange tale of Harry Haller three different times he is confronted by weird events which are beyond coincidence and into the occult. The first occurs very early in the novel when Harry is walking down the street and a strange man thrusts a pamphlet into is hand. He gets home and discovers it is Treatise On The Steppenwolf.

“This is so amazing since Steppenwolf is his own self-chosen name, referring to his tendency to live outside the world of human bourgeois society, living more life a lone wolf of the steppes of Asia…”

Mr. Corbett explains, “Harry Haller is a 48 year old loner. Divorced but in a vague relationship with a distant girl friend, Harry is some sort of author and scholar, but we never really learn of what. He lives in a pair of rooms in a middle class home in a German city in the late 1920s.

“What we do know about Harry is his view of himself as the Steppenwolf. Harry sees the world as divided into two basic classes of person: the ordinary citizen and himself and a handful like him, the steppenwolves of the world.

“These are people who embrace the meaninglessness of life, who then create a world of meaning in the pursuit of knowledge, art and a certain view of perfection -- the disciplined pursuit of the limited worthy things.

“On the other hand, Harry is quite honest to his own contradictions. He always takes rooms in a pleasant bourgeois home and has a great nostalgia for the comforts and ease of bourgeois living with which he grew up.

“However, he is convinced he can really take it or leave it, and in some sense leaves it since he does provide such a life for himself, but lives quietly amidst it, while at the same time being aloof and scornful of the very life he enjoys so much.

“These early days of the story are hard days for Harry. He no longer has his keen sense of the value of what he is doing, and combined with his own developed sense that he and those like him are people who know that death is to be chosen when the time is ripe, Harry is flirting seriously with suicide.

“As mentioned above, his first experience with his occult messages come when he is given the Treatise On The Steppenwolf by the stranger on the street. It is clearly personally about himself.

“However, he learns in this treatise that he isn't really the steppenwolf he paints himself to be. Not only are his bourgeois tendencies unmasked to him, but much more powerfully, it is revealed to him that he isn't even the contradiction of two forces, the steppenwolf and bourgeois culture, but he is thousands of personages, flitting back and forth in a jumble that boggles the mind.

[…]

“Harry arrives at a frustration with life and living and decides it is time to commit suicide and end his pain and suffering. He goes out wandering on his last day.

“In the process he comes across a funeral and follows it, just to test the experience…”

“After the funeral he wanders the streets for hours, planning his suicide and death, dreading it and looking forward to it by turns. He prepares to return to his room and do the deed with a razor, but decides to allow a last meal and drink. He's deep into an unfamiliar part of town and turns to the first place he encounters, which, of course is The Black Eagle, the second of Harry's strange encounters.”

At “The Black Eagle,” Harry Haller - Steppenwolf - falls off into a deep sleep and dreams that he is a newspaper reporter who is about to interview the German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

As he awaits the arrival of Goethe, a black scorpion attempts to climb up his leg and then disappears…

Upon Goethe’s arrival, he states, “that he and the other Immortals have not been appreciated.”

Although somewhat in agreement, Steppenwolf insists that Goethe failed because he was not “straightforward.”

Mr. Haller insists that Goethe had lived to be eighty-two years old and “therefore,” according to another un-cited analysis in my old file notes, “he knew the futility, the despair, the worthlessness of human existence, but he denied it. In fact, he presented faith and optimism as truths, even though he knew otherwise.”

Goethe responds that it is indeed Steppenwolf who is wrong in his convictions. “You take the old Goethe much too seriously, my young friend,” he says. “You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We Immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time.”

As Harry Haller awakened from his dream, “Goethe opens a small box to reveal a tiny likeness of a woman's leg. Steppenwolf realizes it's the scorpion in disguise...”

…

It is the scorpions in disguise – in life - prove most problematic in the negotiation of existentialism…

Hat Tip: JFS “This tune charted in the summer of 1976 - I loved it. This album, "Young and Rich" (the Tubes 2nd) also featured the wild song, ‘Slipped My Disco.’”





Nagle/Dornacker

Oooo baby,
Move closer to me
I've had all that I can stand
Take hold of me with your hands

Oh baby,
You give me the chills
Whisper low in my ear
Let knows how it feels
just to know you are near

Your body gives me a thrill
as it leans against mine
I love how it feels
with your jeans against mine

The smell of burning leather
as we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
if you really care
Don't touch me there

Unzip that jacket
That leather smells so sweet
Put your chest against mine
Feel my heart beat

I love the way your belt fits
The way it hangs so low
So low on your hips my darling
I want you so

I love your sweet, sweet lips
I love your salty taste
I love your finger tips
When I reach for your waist?! Uh-huh...

The smell of burning leather
as we hold each other tight
As our rivets rub together
flashing sparks into the night
At this moment of surrender darling
if you really care
Don't touch me there

I will give my love forever
if you promise me you'll
never never never touch me there
Don't touch me there

Don't touch me there
Please don't
Don't touch me there
Oh no not there
Don't touch me there
Anywhere but there
Don't touch me there
Never--don't ever
Don't touch me there
Do you care?
Don't touch me there
Then don't touch me there
Don't touch me there

January/February 2010 E-newsletter of Off Track Art

Labels: , , , ,

======================tracks=======================
An E-newsletter of Off Track Art, an artists’ cooperative gallery
January/February 2010 by Charlotte Laslo, cqlaslo@netscape.net
===================================================
11 Liberty Street (Side Entrance)
Westminster, MD




New Year, new hours:

Tue-Wed: noon -6 PM
Thu-Fri: noon -7 PM
Sat: 10 AM - 5 PM
===========================================================


CELEBRATIONS
Happy Birthday, Off Track Art, celebrating one year as a coop gallery!

Join us in celebrating this young venue, along with celebrating Nancy Schmitt, who this winter becomes the second of rotating guest artists exhibiting with Off Track Art.

Come to our Opening Reception to see her wonderful, richly-colored felted objects.

New work in the gallery also include Linda Van Hart’s Meditation: Sense of Self and The Three Graces, beautiful collage statements created while in Budapest; vibrant new photographs by Gordon Wickes; Mary Decker’s bright, framed assemblages and other fun objects; Melinda Byrd’s intimate gestural drawings of jazz & blues musicians; and many more drawings, paintings, jewelry, and mixed media works that will delight and surprise!

Opening Reception: Friday, February 12, 2010... 5:30-7:30 PM. See you there!

GUEST ARTIST

By combining her fine arts and textile design backgrounds, Nancy Schmitt creates unique vessels, wall hangings and wearables made of felted wool. Her passion for working with wool fiber, along with the organic nature of the medium, help her connect the ancient traditions of felt making with modern artistry. Because wool is an organic medium, she must be willing to surrender preconceived design notions and allow the fiber to develop its own unique shape and form. The surface becomes truly three dimensional with the addition of beads that capture and reflect light. Sculptural cuts in the matte wool add texture and expose color changes in the fiber layers.

NEW WEBSITE

Off Track Art can now be found on the web. Many thanks to Gail Elwell for organizing things and getting our website launched. Look for art images and info on our new website: http://www.offtrackart.org/.

ARTISTS AT WORK at Off Track Art:

Feb. 5, 11, and 26, noon - 5 PM, Charlotte Laslo will be working on her jewelry creations at Off Track Art. Stop by and see them being made using wirework and knotting techniques.

Tuesday, Feb. 2, noon- 6 PM, Melinda Byrd will be at Off Track Art designing and constructing Valentine inspired cards with watercolors, collage, and printmaking. Come and request a custom made card for your loved one—bring photos if you like.

Tuesday, Feb. 23, noon – 3 PM Melinda Byrd will be at Off Track Art, doing watercolor highlighting a limited edition of “Monarchs & Milkweed in Color.”

OUT and ABOUT:

“Off Track goes off track,” an exhibit by gallery members will show this Spring in the Great Hall at Carroll Community College, opening April 18, runs through May 21, 2010.

Melinda Byrd’s work will be featured on Sunday, Jan. 31 in the Carroll County Times, in a photo-documentary of her woodcut process from design inception, transfer to wood, carving, to printing. An on-line video documentary of Handcrafted Traditions by Ken Koons will soon after be offered at: http://www.carrollcounty.tv/handcrafted_traditions/ Watch the process of the development of "May the Wind be Always at Your Back," the print soon to be available in Melinda’s print rack.

Gail Elwell is involved with The Artchicks, "Gathering," running February 7-March 19, 2010, with an opening on February 7, 2-4 PM at the Scott Gallery, Carroll Community College. “Gathering” then travels to Lubbock, Texas, May 17-June 18, at the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts.

Looking forward, Gail’s collage project "52 Weeks" will open at the Christina Collin-Smith Gallery in Cumberland, Md., in June.

Cathy Sawdey participates in the Antreasian Gallery’s exhibit, “Nudes 2010,” February 5 through February 26, 2010, in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. Reception is Friday, Feb. 5th, 6-9 PM.

Linda Van Hart is teaching Mixed Media Collage I & II, Design I, and Jewelry I, II, & III at McDaniel College spring semester. She will teach Reticulation and Hot Connections this summer at Common Ground Week II, July 12-16, 2010. For information and registration: http://www.commongroundonthehill.org/. These classes may be taken for fun or for undergraduate or graduate credit.
