"The Writing Life in Nebraska"
by Sally J. Walker
I am here to shout to the world that my thoughts and words, my commentaries, my stories and characters are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with any other writer from anywhere else! I may be a child of the plains but I am a resident of the world, the Universe. Without excuses, without explanations, I am ready to earn the respect due my Heartland-fed efforts.
Nebraska is a land of diverse geography and even more diverse population. A common element the Nebraska Writers Guild has discovered is the writers who persevere in every county from rural to urban environment. Passion for the power of the written word is alive and well in this state in the middle of the Heartland of the United States of America.
With those positive pronouncements in mind, I contemplate the difficulties we endure. Despite the international reputations of several of our state's institutions of higher learning, people from either coast still think us backwards and a tad ignorant. Despite the flourishing use of the Internet and many other social medias, many think us unsophisticated and more rustic than cosmopolitan. The evidence of renowned Nebraskans who have risen to the epitome of their various professions in the past and present seems lost on these same short-sighted people.
Well, I am here to shout out to my fellow Nebraskans, young and old, to join me in making every day a "Write Across Nebraska" day, to learn everything we can about our art and craft, to support our peers as they perfect each project until it is the best it can be and finally to market our thoughts, words, commentaries, stories, characters to the rest of world . . . until no one doubts our quality of life and all recognize our leadership in the pursuit of excellence!

WHAT: Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh joins Ellen Parker, executive director of Project Bread in the Heart & Sole Lounge to meet with the Walk for Hunger's leading fundraisers and sponsors in celebration of the 48th annual Walk for Hunger. Immediately following, Walsh will join Parker on the main stage to formally kick-off the Walk.
The Walk for Hunger is the country's oldest continuous pledge walk, as well as the largest one-day fundraiser focused on alleviating hunger. Starting and finishing on the Boston Common, the day will kick-off with a 5K Run followed by the 10-mile Walk for Hunger. Since its inception in 1969, the Walk has generated more than a hundred million dollars for critical anti-hunger programs through individual contributions of less than $100—a powerful demonstration of neighbors caring for neighbors.
WHEN: Sunday May 1st 2016 6:30 to 4:00pm
WHY: According to the USDA's annual report on food security, released in September of 2015, more than 255,000 households across Massachusetts struggle to keep food on the table, including individuals, working poor families, seniors, and the disabled. That's 9.6 percent of our neighbors, making impossible decisions each day about which bills to pay and needs to meet. The same report found that 4.1 percent of the state's poorest citizens face "very low food security"—meaning actual hunger, or a frequent lack of access to food, and has remained unchanged from 2013.
WHERE: Boston Common, near Charles Street
Emily Abbott, 617-239-2545
Project Bread is the only statewide anti-hunger organization committed to providing people of all ages, cultures, and walks of life with sustainable, reliable access to nutritious food. From community-based meal programs, to early childhood and school nutrition initiatives, to improved access to farm-to-table resources, Project Bread approaches hunger as a complex problem with multiple solutions. With funds raised through The Walk for Hunger, the oldest continual pledge walk in the country, and other sources, Project Bread pioneers innovative initiatives and supports effective programs to eradicate hunger in our state. The Walk's flagship sponsor is Arnold Bread; its leadership sponsors include Arbella Insurance Foundation, Raytheon Company, Eos Foundation, and Capital One.

Washington DC [United States] January 20 (ANI): United States Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has warned that even a partial government shutdown would tremendously impact the country's military's maintenance, training, and intelligence operations.
Mattis replied "yes" when he was quizzed, if a shutdown would have "serious ramifications," for the US military during a question and answer session, reports The Washington Examiner.
"We do a lot of intelligence operations around the world, and they cost money. Those obviously would stop," Mattis added, "And I will tell you training for almost our entire reserve forces will stop. And you must understand the critical importance of our reserves. They are the only shock absorber we have."
The defence secretary further stated that 50 percent of the Defense Department's civilian workforce would have to be furloughed.
The White House announced in a statement that it would be holding a media briefing on Friday over the possible government shutdown, as legislators struggled to keep the United States government funded.
Marc Short, White House legislative affairs director, and Mick Mulvaney, head of the Office of Management and Budget, will conduct the briefing at around 10:30 am (local time).
Earlier, the US House of Representatives passed a Republican-led bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown.
However, the fight to get the bill through Congress is not over yet. This legislation would likely be dead on arrival in the Senate, where Democrats have said they have enough votes to block the legislation.
The final vote was 230-197, with six Democrats voting for the measure and 11 Republicans voting against it.
If the bill ultimately becomes law, it would be the fourth temporary funding patch since September. (ANI)

Visiting a fabulous art gallery or museum should be one of life's great pleasures but what happens when the experience is ruined by rampaging coach parties, screaming children and petty irritations?
People having loud conversations on mobile phones, breast feeding mothers, and badly behaved teenagers are some of the annoyances I've encountered.
A trip to Tate Britain last week got me so irate that I started thinking about the 10 most annoying things about museums – and what we can do to tackle them!
Is it me but is bringing a screaming baby into the Tate's Walk Through British Art a smart idea?
What was supposed to be a visually stimulating and relaxing stroll around the gallery turned into a trip to the nursery, complete with loud sound-effects.
So what are the top 10 things that drive me mad about museums – and more importantly – what are yours?
1. Irritating crowds
Overcrowding is the scourge of any trip to a museum, whether it's Monet's Garden at Giverny or a blockbuster exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert.
Naturally, the crowds are worst at the world's most popular tourist destinations – the Vatican, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Rijksmuseum, Tower of London and Louvre.
Other potential hot spots for annoying behaviour are one-off exhibitions that have desperate punters queueing around the block for limited tickets.
One of the worst examples I've come across was the Van Gogh exhibition at London's Royal Academy featuring the artist's wonderful letters to his brother Theo and his friend Gauguin.
Just one problem – it was impossible to read the letters and their translations due to the crowds pressing against the display cases.
The only way of enjoying the show's star exhibits was to buy the exhibition guide and read the letters at home later that evening.
At the fabulous David Bowie fashion show at the V & A last year the crowd resembled a rugby scrum, with visitors jostling to see the Aladdin Sane costume and rare memorabilia.
In fairness, the gallery did try use big screens and racked displays to alleviate the problem but trying to 'work the crowds' was pretty exhausting.
It's hard to blame the galleries because they're victims of their own success, but perhaps limiting the numbers further would help? Or extended opening times, as tried by the British Museum for popular shows?
Big visitor attractions with lots of spaces are more immune to the problem but even The Louvre in Paris and The Metropolitan Museum in New York are tedious and claustrophobic when the crowds hit their peak.
Nothing makes the heart sink more than a crowded, claustrophobic exhibition with all the ambience of the opening day of the New Year sales, whether it's Tutankhamon at London's O2 or Hollywood Fashion at the V & A.
But the runaway winner in this category is the Vatican Museum in Rome, without doubt the world's most crowded tourist attraction. In fact, it's so bad that it deserve a category on its own – hell on earth!
Top tips: Book online for slots at 'quieter' times if you can – early mornings, late afternoons, evening openings. Whilst free entry on Sundays at some attractions seems attractive, it also brings out the crowds in their thousands, as I've experienced at the Louvre and Copenhagen's Carlsberg Glyptotek Gallery. Try visiting out of season?
Coach party hell
'Coach party hell' is something to be avoided at all costs as we found on this summer's Stockholm vacation when a morning trip to the Vasa Ship Museum had to be postponed.
My heart sank when I saw the huge numbers of coach parties and snaking queues – we joined the end of the line but it was soon clear we'd have to come back later or give up completely.
An unscheduled trip to the nearby Skansen Open Air Museum filled the void with grumpy Tony von Diesel complaining that he hated folk museums, crowds and organised tourist groups.
Funny but Skansen turned out to be excellent and eventually we sussed out that it was far better to schedule a visit to Vasa late afternoon when the bus trips had subsided.
We had a similar experience at Stockholm's Drottningholm Palace, another magnet for giant-sized Japanese coach parties who hog all the key viewing spots inside the museum during their visits.
There's nothing worse, of course, than having to listen to their guides shouting at full throttle, telling everyone the potted history of the palace in English, German or Japanese.
Possibly worse still are the school coach parties and trips when 100 children descend on one room in a museum or gallery, together with hectoring teachers, obliterating any space in which to think, look or breathe.
Once again the prize for the worst crowds has to go to the Vatican Museum with its endless sea of visitors chattering away and ignoring the 'silence' signs in the Sistine Chapel.
Worse still is the papal warden shouting "Silence" at the top of his voice every three minutes, only to be ignored!
Top tips: Many coach parties visit only the key sights at major attractions – the most famous spots – so avoid those spaces and head elsewhere until the rush has calmed down.
Avoid the most popular tourist destinations in the summer and peak times or you could find yourself in need of anger management therapy.
If you're at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art head up on to the roof where there's a collection of interesting installations which hasn't been discovered by the large parties.
It's hard to avoid school trips but in general keep away during school hours at venues where you know that they'll be large groups of children including Tate Modern and Tate Britain in London. Go in the school holidays!
2. Audio-visual meltdown
The growing number of tech devices designed to enhance the "visitor experience" has mushroomed in recent years to the point of being super-irritating.
First, there's the problem that these guides tend to pinpoint specific works of art or historic interest resulting in big groups of people standing their ground for 10 minutes in front of one piece.
The Tate Modern in London may have one of the best devices but it doesn't remove the problem of visitors hogging the spaces in front of key paintings – and often the smallest of works!
Then there's the devices themselves, which can be an asset if the storytelling and explanations are well-crafted but more often than not they're so dull that you're left wanting to launch the machines into outer space.
A trip to Avignon's Bishop's Palace was ruined by the compulsory audio guide which explained every single dimension of each room in the dullest monotone voice known to mankind.
If I'd wanted to hear about measurements, I would've looked them up on Wikipedia. What about the papal scandals, the rich history and the intrigue of the place?
Then again, there's always the off button – or just say 'no' when handed the offensive beast!
Top tips – avoid getting a device and buy the exhibition catalogue. Say 'no' when given the option of an audio guide.
3. Pointy elbows and 'space hogs'
This irritation is really a sub-group of overcrowding but it can also take place in the quietest galleries so I've given it a category of its own.
Pointy elbows are a bug-bear of mine, the people who think they're ex-footballer Alan Shearer trying to muscle in, elbows raised or planted firmly on their hips.
These folk expand their size by standing their ground and pushing out their chests and elbows so nobody else can get a look in.
Also in this group are what I call the 'space hogs' and those with no spatial awareness who wander around aimlessly, bumping into people who are trying to see the exhibits.
Perhaps I'm being harsh but I'm tempted to push them over or nudge them to one side so the rest of us can get a peak at whatever they're blocking.
Then there's the afternoon ramblers who use their trip to chatter and gossip endlessly about random, boring stuff whilst ignoring the exhibits, but blocking the view.
My recent trip to London's Dulwich Gallery and the Whistler exhibition was a great example of this. The show featured many small pieces which were rendered almost impossible to see by the pointy elbow brigade… plus two ladies gossiping endlessly about the Women's Institute.
Top tips – Don't get cross, get even – retaliate or wait your turn patiently! A large hand bag or 'man bag' can work wonders for nudging people out of the way.
4. Bringing in baby
This is one of the worst offenders because having a screaming baby crying constantly can become so grating that it will drive you mad if it persists longer than a few minutes.
Now I'm not a fan of leaving babies at home but taking a very small child into the Tate Britain's video installations to "calm it down" took the prize for selfish behaviour this month.
It provoked a verbal checking off from Tammy to a nanny who thought this was an acceptable way of spending a Monday afternoon with her charge.
How a child of three-months-old is supposed to appreciate a Chapman Brothers' video is beyond me but then perhaps I'm old-fashioned?
My friend Clive saw a mother breast feeding her baby in front of his favourite Turner at the Tate Britain, a sight he's seen at several galleries. It's not as if the gallery has no other baby facilities on site.
Top tip – Some cinemas have 'bringing in baby' screenings so why not galleries and museums? Ban babies completely?
5. Obtuse curation
One of the most annoying things in galleries and museums is obtuse or minimal curation either down to ineptitude or an arrogant attitude towards visitors.
The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is a fine example of how not to curate an art museum. My group left without learning a single thing about Picasso's early work due to the lack of information.
Ironically, the Miro Foundation, also in Barcelona, is one of the best curated museums I've seen, with fantastic contextual material about the Catalan master in a variety of languages and formats.
Perhaps most annoying are those gallery information panels that are so sparse and obtuse that no normal visitor can understand them. Obfuscation is king… and it makes the poor punters feel stupid and ill-informed.
The BALTIC in Gateshead is a master of this art with this piece of curation from one recent exhibition:
"Maciejowski manipulates the hierarchical distinctions between painting, photography and film and high and low culture, to question the legitimacy of his chosen medium. He is also highly aware of the implications of his scenes being presented within the context of an art gallery and, indeed, that of the art world."
Thanks for that insight into his work – it could've been written about any number of contemporary artists.
As an antidote, I recommend the awesome AROS gallery in Aarhus, Denmark which is one of the best curated places I've ever visited with clear, helpful information and back stories to the art works.
Top tip – fill in the comments book of feedback online at galleries and museums and explain that you'd like to see more information written in plain English.
Extreme reverence
You know the scene – absolute silence, snotty wardens, cold receptionists and glaring security guards giving disapproving glances and looks.
The gallery or museum seems to imagine that they're doing you a very special favour by letting you in to look at their important collections.
Every sneeze or cough is looked upon with disapprobation whilst veering too close to a picture or object is ticked off. Walking over the 'imaginary line' three feet from a painting is a complete no-no.
Naturally there are no photos – not even non-flash – and engaging with any art work is completely off limits.
Now I understand the need to protect valuable collections and I'm not an advocate of a free-for-all, but some galleries are like mausoleums manned by prison guards.
The worst examples are often the least interesting galleries which is weird because you'd think that they'd work harder selling their wares to visitors.
Wordsworth's Dove Cottage in Grasmere, England provides a tour where visitors creep around listening to a dull guide who reprimands anyone who dares to take a photo or lag behind the group.
I was allowed to step two feet outside to take a photo of the cottage before being dragged back indoors!
Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum incurred the wrath of my partner, Tony, who found it snobby to the point of rudeness. He hated the frosty staff, the dark rooms, the over-reverend ambience and lack of interpretation.
Top tip – avoid anywhere with arrogant and disapproving guides. If you must venture forth, try vexing the wardens by asking lots of intelligent questions and stomping around loudly. Give feedback.
6. Snap happy?
There's a fine line between museums allowing photography and opening the floodgates to happy snappers.
Those with a no photography policy are generally being over-cautious and heavy-handed unless there's a good reason, for example, textiles or light sensitive watercolours.
In the age of the eponymous mobile phone snapper, it seems impossible to stop photography for amateur use and social media sharing on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
On the plus side galleries in Denmark have embraced this and allow photography almost everywhere as long as it's not intrusive, a sensible idea if I ever heard one.
London's Saatchi Gallery, a lovely art space, also has a very liberal attitude to photography as does the equally friendly Serpentine Galleries.
But some tourist attractions have become so overrun by snappers that it veers on the ridiculous.
It's almost impossible to walk around the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel without having dozens of iPad users jamming a screen in front of your face and snapping away.
At Denmark's Kronborg Slot in Helsingor (Hamlet's castle) I saw a party photographing every single object in each room. I wondered if they were compiling a Japanese version of the castle guide book!
Top tips: Avoid times when coach and group tours are most likely to be visiting. Retaliate with an even bigger camera with a giant lens. Avoid places which are magnets for large groups of mass tourists.
7. Mash-ups
'Mash-ups' are what I call exhibitions which are made up almost entirely from a gallery's main collection but which advertise themselves as special, one-offs with a hefty ticket price.
Sorry, but I didn't pay £12 to see a show in which 60% of the exhibits are already in the free permanent collection.
Recent offenders include London's National Gallery's Vermeer and His Contemporaries exhibition in which the majority of the works were drawn from the main collection. I was hoping for rather more.
Basically it's a cheap way of putting on a show but it's intensely annoying if the re-hashed exhibition doesn't say anything new about the exhibits on display.
Top tips: Read reviews and check what's in the exhibition before you commit to buying a ticket.
8. Too many rules
Every gallery has its set of rules of do's and don'ts but some take this practice to extremes, from rules about where to walk to detailed guidance on behaviour inside the gallery spaces.
OK, we should all know that eating, drinking and destroying the exhibits is not the correct behaviour but some bizarre rules seem to have crept in to overzealous establishments.
The BALTIC in Gateshead, England has a zero tolerance policy on visitors interacting with the exhibits and it's also very hot on health and safety regulations.
At a recent show I was handed a list of 12 rules which must be obeyed before I entered the gallery space.
The list included obvious things like not touching the exhibits as well as one amazing piece of advice "not to turn on the tap" on a sink which was obviously part of an art installation.
Another piece of guidance recommended not standing too close to the gallery walls in case the newly painted surfaces (which had dried) stained items of visitors' clothing.
On another visit a warden took me aside and explained "the rules" for five minutes including a warning about a half inch protruding piece of metal on a large styrofoam sculpture which was clearly visible to the naked eye.
An exhibition of arty tents by an American contemporary artist looked as if visitors could go inside but when they did, all hell broke loose – "there'll be no sitting inside the tents," proclaimed the gallery staff.
I've also seen this at several other galleries where's there's a confusion between which exhibits you can interact with and those you can't.
It's hard for galleries, I suppose. Once I saw a visitor trip over the Tate Britain's exhibit of Carl Andre's minimalist bricks, thinking it was part of the gallery floor.
There's a fine line between preserving the art and encouraging audience interactivity – it's a tough tightrope!
Top tips: Tell the gallery or museum in question to chill out in their feedback forms about exhibitions. Don't trip over the exhibits!
9. Crazy opening times
Funny but Italy and Spain seem to specialise in having ridiculous opening hours which defy any normal logic although I've also had similar experiences in the UK and France, to be fair.
"Closed every 3rd Monday except on holy festivals and every 2nd Sunday in the season (except saints days)" is something I've witnessed many times in Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Then there's the attractions where you turn up only to find they're shut even when they're supposed to be open, according to their websites.
Confusing times and wrong information is the one thing that's guaranteed to push Tammy's holiday stress levels to boiling point.
How annoying to drive 50 miles on a wild goose chase after checking the opening times on a website that turns out to be completely wrong.
In the Czech Republic the famous Traja Palace in Prague refused to let Tammy and Tony take the tour because we couldn't speak Czech – and we weren't even allowed to tag along with the group.
The UK used to be pretty good at keeping to opening times but recent cutbacks in public spending have led to unusual closures and inconsistencies.
Other private collections have been known to close for functions without notice.
London's Saatchi Gallery is generally good at advertising closures for private functions but on two recent visits I've turned up (having checked the website) to find the gallery shut. Really annoying.
Health and safety has also raised its head several times including a winter trip to the National Trust's Prior Park in Bath which was advertised as being open but was shut "due to dangerous slippy paths".
Looking over the wall it didn't look that bad. We were left peering at what might have been a charming winter walk, having travelled 350 miles from the other end of the country.
Restoration hell
Another group of annoyances are 'restoration closures' which aren't always advertised extensively.
Once I spent an hour trying to find the golden statue of Marcus Aurelius in Rome, only to discover from a local man that it was 'in restauro' or 'in restoration'.
I discovered that one famous palace in Venice had been 'in restauro' for about 10 years despite every guide book and website saying 'opening next year' for eight years running.
Turning up and finding the star exhibit(s) aren't on display is one of the biggest disappointments that can befall any tourist. It's like showing up to see the Mona Lisa, only to find it's down in the conservation lab.
Once I travelled 5,000 miles to visit my favourite art works in New York, only to find them temporarily on loan to an exhibition in Berlin!
Top tips: Ring ahead and don't always rely on websites to have the correct opening times if you don't trust the information. Check that some key works haven't been sent on temporary loan elsewhere.
10. Ticketing hell
Not being able to secure a ticket to get entry into a famous tourist attraction is not just irritating, it's frustrating.
World famous attractions like the Alhmabra Palace in Granada, Alcatraz in San Francisco and Ellis Island in New York are so popular with tourists that turning up 'on spec' is a bad plan.
I remember a trip to Florence which was marred by not being able to get a ticket to two of the main attractions in the city, the Pitti Palace and the Uffizi Gallery.
On a second trip we tried to book ahead only to be told that all advance tickets to the Uffizi had been allocated and we'd have to wait in the long, snaking queue to get an 'on the day' ticket.
Despite turning up at 8am it took two and half hours to get to the front of the queue, which put Tony van Diesel in such a black mood that we skulked around the gallery looking grim-faced when we did get in.
"It wasn't worth the wait," said Tony, scowling at the Caravaggios, Titians and Botticellis as if they'd been daubed by a primary school child. "It's a bit average, isn't it?," he bleated in disapproval.
To this day, I have never visited the Pitti Palace in Florence despite three trips to this fair Italian city.
Then there was the Leaning Tower of Pisa which has no tickets for several days so we never managed to get to the top of the leaning tower to view its pillars and decorations.
Perhaps it's unfair to criticise smaller, sensitive sites like the Tower of Pisa but it would be good to know in publicity that the chances of seeing these iconic attractions are slim, unless you book ahead.
The Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain is one of the worst offenders despite being on a site spread across a large area. It's an example of 'crowd control' gone mad.
We ordered tickets online, turned up very early and queued for nearly an hour, experienced bureaucratic hell and nearly missed our allocated time slot despite having all the paperwork.
There was much stamping of forms, checking of passports, head shaking and disapproval, yet we'd done everything correctly!
Top tip – book in advance online wherever possible and check availability well ahead of your travel date. Don't assume you'll be able to drop into an iconic attraction 'on the day'.
Allow plenty of time to get your group 'processed' at popular locations like the New York's Statue of Liberty, Paris' Eiffel Tower and the Alhambra where there are long queues to pick up tickets and get through security.
Top 10 best gallery and museum experiences
I don't want to sound like 'Grumpy Tammy' because a lot of these annoyances are confined to a few places and busy times of the year.
Predictably, the summer months are hell in most capital cities as it's the prime time for mass tourism.
But there are some potentially irritating things that are easily tackled like having welcoming staff, excellent information, good facilities and ticketing systems that work for and not against the visitor.
Perhaps I'm being churlish because there are many fabulous tourist attractions so here are my top 10 museums and galleries offering brilliant visitor experiences:
1. AROS gallery, Aarhus, Denmark – great gallery spaces, brilliant curation and hours of interactive fun. Perfection. The staff are welcoming and the gallery is open late at night in the summer most evenings.
2. Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon, Portugal – a fantastic collection brilliantly presented in welcoming spaces where you can drool over the exhibits.
3. Miro Foundation, Barcelona, Spain – this spacious and well-curated gallery has cracking art works by the Catalan master of modern art, Miro. It makes you feel welcome and the whole trip makes you want to stay for hours.
4. Maeght Foundation, Saint Paul de Vence, France – beautiful indoors and outdoors, this laid-back family museum has many masterpieces of modern art but lacks a stuffy ambience despite the high class exhibits.
5. British Museum, London – despite its popularity, you can always find somewhere to escape from the crowds and delve deeper into the brilliant historical displays.
6. Storm King, New York State, USA – this large, outdoor park with art installations has a stunning landscape filled with great art plus friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere.
7. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield, England – fabulous indoor and outdoor spaces make this a relaxing and fun experience – and it's free of charge.
8. Kroller Muller Museum, Arnhem, Holland – another relaxing and spacious place with art indoors and outdoors plus lots of curation, a lovely cafe and changing exhibitions. Kroller Muller also has great bike rides and art trails through the park.
9. The Jewish Museum, Berlin – despite the airport style security checks (understandable) this stunning museum is to be commended for its brilliant architecture and imaginatively curated displays.
It creates a real mood and atmosphere with its galleries and external spaces… and the design means that there's no gabbling crowds to ruin the experience. A truly moving journey through the Holocaust and its traumatic history topped off by a brilliant building.
10. Hearst Castle, California, USA – this enormous castle complex belonged to the 1930s newspaper magnate, Randolph Hearst, complete with private zoo, cinema and guest houses. Brilliantly organised tours take the visitor on a variety of experiences, depending on your interests and the time you have available. Excellent curation.
What annoys you?
I'd also like to hear your thoughts… tell me what makes you annoyed about galleries and museums?
Do you have a list of places that get you hot under the collar? Have I missed any irritants off the list? How about mobile phones, loud tour guides. opinionated art experts, 'know-it-all' visitors and rip-off prices?
I look forward to sharing your experiences, good and bad – and hearing your solutions to the problem places!

Senate backs Pentagon press restrictions
Senate backs Pentagon press restrictions
No media coverage of returning caskets
The Associated Press
Updated: 9:39 p.m. ET June 21, 2004
WASHINGTON - The Senate refused on Monday to change a Pentagon policy banning media coverage of Americas war dead as their remains arrive in flag-draped caskets.
Its an outrage, said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who had sponsored legislation to restore coverage of homecoming ceremonies at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
The New Jersey Democrat said the Pentagon directive that requires strict censorship, issued just as the Iraq war began, ... prevents the American people from seeing the truth about whats happening.
The 54-39 Senate negative vote came as the American death toll in Iraq reached 837 Monday.
The vote defeated an amendment to the authorization bill for the Defense Department that would have required the Pentagon to produce a protocol in 60 days to regulate media coverage of the returning dead.
Banning press and public access to the arrival of casualties in Dover was started in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, during the term of President Bushs father. The policy continued through President Clintons eight years in office, although it was not strictly enforced and there was no conflict on the scale of the either the Gulf War or the war in Iraq during Clintons tenure.
During the Afghan war during this administration, flag-draped coffins were filmed (at Dover), and during the Kosovo conflict President Clinton was on the tarmac to receive the dead, Lautenberg said.
Citing privacy questions on the eve of the war with Iraq a year ago, the Pentagon reiterated the ban and began enforcing it at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland and Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Photos often had been allowed at Ramstein before the current Bush administration.
Sen. John Warner, Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, argued the ban should continue to to preserve the most important priority, and thats the privacy of the families, ... and not open up this matter to greater scrutiny by the press.
The debate over whether Americans should see coffins of the war dead flared in April after The Seattle Times published a front-page photograph of coffins in a cargo plane in Kuwait and a First Amendment activist posted on his Web site dozens of like images from Dover, home to the nations largest military mortuary.
A poll at that time found more than six in 10 Americans thought the homecomings should be covered.
Bush's Media bullshit keeps on growing. Since the pictures of the dead americans were showed on live TV two months ago the Pentagon and the Senate defeated a motion to allow press coverage when the flag drapped coffins arrive to the state. What the fuck are you afraid of Bush? You sure have a big sack of balls by shielding yourself on "Privacy Issues" when you clearly showed in your political campain pictures of dead american and their caskets. Is he saying that he can do shit like this for his political gain and the media can't do it? This is a huge act of hypocresy from the Bush administration and wich by the way I am seriously outraged by it.

I don't see this as being a Bush led item.....the Senate voted, and they voted against it.....I don't believe that was strictly a liberal vs conservative vote.....what is to be gained by seeing the caskets of returning soldiers?.....
can't side with you on this one, ST.....I think it is not a major issue.....

I hate people
I think it is. This has been up since Bush Sr. was in power when he started the way on the persian gulf. Are republicans this afraid of showing the nation what is the true cost of war? I mean if the caskets would say. "Here lies John Doe or Jane Doe" I would understood the Pentagon's conerns but this is just a bunch of caskets wrapped on flags. You can't see who's inside of them. The senate is dominated by republicans and since all this crap of the prisioner abuse scandals wich by the way they are getting annoying already they are been trying to seal so much information althou the media still manages to get a hold of them
This is rapping the first emmendment of the constitution..... Well come to think of it this administration has done plenty of that.

I agree, I think it is a rap on the 1st ammendment. Personally, I think seeing this would enrage people and hopefully, they'd realize the terrorists are the ones who caused these deaths. It would have been a bad move even without the 1st ammendment.

#89: Reaching the Reluctant Reader: What We Learned Through Our Read 2 Succeed Grant
A special thanks to Lorie Steed for this blog post about Reluctant Readers and her Read 2 Succeed Grant. Lorie has her finger on the pulse of YA literature and is truly an asset to CDHS readers.
Overview: As a high school librarian in Davidson County and recipient of a 2016 Read 2 Succeed Grant, I partnered with English teacher Krysta Perkins to support her Sustained Silent Reading initiative. Our goal was to engage reluctant readers by purchasing several high-interest books that would appeal to varied interests and reading levels, and to ensure we had multiple copies of popular titles available to students. By reaching out to reluctant readers in this way, we hoped students who avoided reading in the past would come to embrace it. Although we hit some snags along the way and not every student responded to reading the way we hoped they would, we did find some success in reaching reluctant readers.
But first, one of the snags. Our original plan was to booktalk titles in several genres that we thought would appeal to reluctant readers, and then to bring students to the library for a "book tasting" where they could explore these and other similar titles. In the fall semester, we did just that. Students rotated around tables full of sample books from each genre and were asked to write down their favorites. The problem with this approach was revealed when I was about to place an order and realized that many of the books multiple students listed as favorites were sitting on our shelves, not checked out! After consulting with Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Idol, the Exceptional Children's co-teacher, we came to the following conclusions:
Though I visited these students again in an attempt to figure out what books to order based on their interests, many of them had already chosen a book by that point, either from our library or from home. I told them more than once I would order whatever books they asked for, but no one asked for anything - which looking back makes sense, as reluctant readers are often so closed off to reading they just shut down completely when asked to talk about it. So I looked instead at what they were reading to get ideas, and worked on a new plan for second semester. I also read Donalyn Miller's The Book Whisperer and, inspired by her methods of reaching out to readers in her own classroom, decided to try a more individualized approach second semester.
A new plan. Second semester, instead of taking students to the library to peruse full tables of books representing each genre, we kept it simple by highlighting three examples of each genre in the classroom, then asked students to indicate their preferences on sticky notes. We also told them that if none of the books we shared appealed to them, to write that down as well. We emphasized that we were looking for total honesty. "You're the ones we're trying to help," we told them. We still encountered resistance, but after multiple classroom visits in which I met one-on-one with every single student, I put together a book order based on their individual recommendations. I wanted to make sure that when the book order arrived, I would have at least one book to hand to every student based on his or her request. This turned out to be a much better approach to the project, and my one regret is that I didn't have a chance to implement it with the fall semester students. Ordering books based on student suggestions not only helped many students complete the reading and the project successfully, but also made our collection more appealing. Multiple students, not just those who requested the books, checked out the books we ordered.
Conclusions: Out of 47 students in the spring semester classes, 85% of students (40 of 47) completed the reading third quarter, and just under 79% (37 of 47 students) did so fourth quarter. Though it was somewhat discouraging to see those numbers go down and to realize that 15-20% of students were still not reading, it was inspiring to see several others not only complete their SSR reading requirements, but to read beyond what was required.
We also saw an improvement in student attitudes about reading. At the beginning of the semester, 22% of students said they did not like to read, 58% said "it's okay," and only 20% said they loved it. At the end of the semester, 9.3% still didn't like reading, 44.2% said "it's okay," and 46.5% said they loved it, as long as they were given a choice in what to read.
In closing, here are a few more things we learned about reaching reluctant readers.

Research at Leeds Beckett
Dr Tom Muskett
Dr Tom Muskett
Senior Lecturer
Leeds School Of Social Sciences0113 81 23280 email@example.com
About Dr Tom Muskett
Tom joined Psychology Group in July 2016 as a Senior Lecturer in Critical and Developmental Psychology.
Following an undergraduate Psychology degree, Tom trained as a speech and language therapist. Tom's interest in critical psychology was fostered when working clinically and in research roles within services for children and adolescents with mental health and learning difficulties. These interests and experiences led to a PhD which involved application of critical approaches (primarily discursive psychology, combined with ideas from critical disability studies and social studies of childhood) to rethink the representation and treatment of children with a diagnosis of autism.
More recently, Tom has become particularly interested in the application of a range of critical psychological approaches and viewpoints in order to develop inclusive, dialogic and socially just methods of teaching practice within universities. Tom is an Inclusivity Champion for the School of Social Sciences, and is the Disability Liaison Officer within the Psychology Group.
Current Teaching
Tom currently teaches on the following modules on the BSc (Hons) Psychology programme:
- Growing Up in a Social World (first year - core)
- Lifespan Development (second year - core)
- Critical and Philosophical Issues in Psychology (third year - core)
- Critical Psychology in Practice (third year - elective)
Tom also teaches the Lifespan Development first year module on the BSc (Hons) Speech and Language Therapy programme.
Tom supervises undergraduate and Masters level research projects in the areas of critical psychiatry and mental health, community psychology, and critical developmental psychology.
Research Interests
Tom is currently working on two threads of collaborative research:
- With Dr Michelle O'Reilly (University of Leicester, UK) and Dr Jessica Nina-Lester (Indiana University, US), Tom is contributing to a programme of work that applies discourse analysis approaches (primarily conversation analysis) to examine, and in some cases re-think, interactions involving children with autism. Current work is focusing on the examination of diagnostic practices during professional-family interactions within child and adolescent mental health services.
- With Dr Tom Campbell (University of Leeds, UK), Tom is developing a genealogical investigation of the links between "autism" and "dyslexia" as two specific, but historically connected, psychological impairment categories.

In addition to directing "Death And The Maiden", Olson designed it as well. His set is one more of the BCA's wonders-- for show after show, without the facilities of a scene shop or access to the performance space before tech week, shoestring companies somehow manage to contrive beautiful, functional, expressive sets. Olson has built an entire vacation cottage, with windows but no walls; a living-dining area and a raised bedroom with French doors opening out onto the beach and a wooden walkway running around the outside of the cottage where the audience is seated, hugging all four sides of the Black Box space. Electric light, candles, a flashlight, the moon on the water, a car's headlights-- exquisite lighting effects provide atmosphere and heighten tension, while the sound of waves on the beach underscores the isolation and remoteness of the resort area, the sense of being cut off from interaction the rest of humanity.
Olson's staging seems super-intelligent to me: the director has arranged scenes and events so that there is some visual overlap, and this acts as a reminder of the perspective of whichever character is not in the room where the main action occurs. All three cast members are intense and committed, and shape their performances towards the climax. I did feel some lack of weight in the male characters because of the youth of the performers. It seemed as if the on stage struggle between the three of them in the present crisis was a life-defining event, rather than the life-altering one it would be for two such successful and important men. Youth was less of a handicap for actress Dina Comolli, because Paulina is a character whose growth to maturity has been short circuited by the terrible things that happened to her, and by the social and personal silence in which she has been forced to live since they happened. All Comolli's responses were as fresh as if Paulina's injuries occurred the day before yesterday, rather than more than a decade in the past.
I knew two things about "Death And The Maiden" before seeing it. First, that it was written by a Chilean exile who feared becoming one of the "disappeared" himself if he tried to live and work under the Pinochet dictatorship. Second, that the "Death And The Maiden" plot concerns an upper middle class wife who fortuitously becomes the kidnapper of the man who presided over her torture and rape when she was a student dissident working for the overthrow of the regime. This plot is very like an exercise assigned in Playwriting 101, where the writer is instructed to imagine a scene wherein his worst enemy-- someone he hates, fears, and condemns-- is imprisoned and at his mercy. I really disliked that writing exercise. It exposed the limits of my imagination, and the extent of my squeamishness. It exposes some pretty nasty stuff lurking in the minds of other writers, too. From "The Tempest" to "Misery", variations on the vengeance plot have been among my least favorite experiences in the theatre, quite apart from the talent involved in exploring the premise.
The compensation for entering the writer's torture chamber-- what Dorfman
calls "the quick center of suffering where ethical choices determine the
immediate shape of things to come"-- is that one can learn lessons there
that in the real world come at a terrible price. What is there to be learned
from the portrait of a civilized country that allowed itself to be ruled
by a regime that regarded kidnapping and torture and murder as legitimate
tools of social control? What sort of people did the dirty work? What sort
of people had the courage or foolishness to oppose it? How can the torturers
and their victims ever become a single society, with the mutual respect
and shared values that make democratic negotiation possible?
Ray Schmoll plays Gerardo Escobar, a fortyish lawyer nominated by the newly installed democratic government to head a committee investigating "The Disappeared" and the mostly military or police agents who kidnapped, tortured and murdered them. The investigation is not expected to hold individuals criminally accountable, but merely to shed light on the process by which ordinary respectable citizens became either victims or executioners, and to suggest safeguards to prevent future reigns of terror. Dina Comolli is the lawyer's wife, Paulina, who was a medical student when Gerardo, then her lover, recruited her to work for the underground opposition. Paulina was snatched off the street by a terror squad on her way to class in broad daylight, and her refusal to name Gerardo as her cell's leader in spite of months of torture means that Gerardo owes her his life: a debt he began to pay after Paulina got out of prison by marrying her and nursing her back to some semblance of physical and mental health. At the opening of the play Paulina is waiting for her overdue husband to arrive and eat the special celebratory dinner she has prepared, but she isn't just impatient -- she is in a kind of panic, and each of the objects she touches during her wordless scene at the top of the play expresses the parameters of her panic. When Paulina hears the sound of a strange car in the drive, she gets out a gun and keeps it aimed at the front door until she hears her husband's voice. Gerardo has suffered a flat tire and without a spare would have been stranded except for a Good Samaritan, one Dr. Roberto Miranda (Matt Chiorina) who gave him a lift home. By the next scene Paulina has heard the Good Samaritan's voice and is convinced that Miranda is the sadistic doctor who supervised her torture, the doctor who played a tape of Schubert's "Death And The Maiden" while he raped her. Paulina knocks Roberto unconscious and insists that her husband help her force the doctor to confess what he did to her, and that Gerardo then act as judge and sentence the torturer/rapist to some fitting punishment.
For a while the more philosophical questions of guilt and reparation are pushed to the background by matters of evidence that generate suspense. Is Miranda really the one? The doctor insists that he is a liberal and that he has always opposed the regime himself. Besides, he wasn't even in the country at the time Paulina disappeared. Her husband simply can't believe that his friendly benefactor, with whom he was drinking and male bonding just a few hours ago, is a monster. Who could blame poor Paulina if her horrible experience left her subject to delusions?
Olson and his cast have filled in plenty of psychological detail, and by playing Dorfman's three acts straight through without intermission kept the audience busy figuring out the layers of lies and manipulation in the married couple's relationship. The tangle is dense, both because of the sexual nature of the injury and because of the gender roles that circumscribe the characters. Paulina says she only joined the underground for love of Gerardo, and it was her love for him that kept her suffering and silent. Gerardo is able to take a long view of how redress for an individual victim's suffering must yield to the greater good of a lawful civil society-- until Roberto reminds him of how a "real man" would react: Paulina's rape amounts to her husband's emasculation, an injury to honor that can only be wiped out by the rapist's death. Paulina herself has never forgiven Gerardo for becoming involved with another woman during the month when he thought Paulina dead, and her jealous rage seems connected to her silence about the sexual abuse she suffered in prison. Paulina says early on that justice demands that the rapist Roberto be raped. Since she hasn't the equipment to rape him herself her husband should do it for her. But if her husband did that, then Paulina's rape of Roberto by Gerardo's proxy would commit her to making love with a rapist for the rest of her life.
There is a kind of madness at work as Paulina insists that her revenge is private and has nothing to do with the public matters of justice that will be her husband's job on the Commission. Gerardo and Roberto empathize as reasonable men forced to deal with a crazy woman, giving in to her irrational demands by making up some story to satisfy her, by telling her what she wants to hear. How far this is pretense on either man's part is left ambiguous. But the doctor's confession also contains a personal acknowledgment of the addictive pull of sexual dominance, and a capacity for taking pleasure in inflicting pain that comes across not as a flaw in some particular humans, but as part of human nature itself. The question then is not "what kind of monster takes part in torture?" but "how can we monitor ourselves and our neighbors to prevent the monster that is within most of us from gaining the power to do the evil that comes naturally?" Even enforcing lip service to liberty and fraternity is a giant step.
The last scene, at a concert months or years later, implies that
on some level lip service has worked out. Gerardo's Commission has
issued a report. Some of the silenced have been given a hearing,
and they can be taken as metaphorical representatives of all those who
will never be heard-- just as the theatre audience can be taken as representatives
of all those who refused to look or listen or intervene while the crimes
were being carried out. Healing has begun. Paulina sits beside her
husband, once again able to listen to a performance of Schubert's "Death
And The Maiden". And Roberto is at the concert too, or appears
to be, absorbed in the exquisite pleasure of.... the music?
