Are iconoclasts normally cheerful and wry? Wayne White certainly is. The Chattanooga (well Hixson, really), Tennessee-born artist is the product of a feverishly-decorated-and-redecorated Southern home where boys played football and art-making was not what a boy should aspire to. A rebellious teen, White wisely put sports in the background, studied art at Middle Tennessee State University, then moved to New York City in 1979 to pursue his calling. He achieved quick success as an animator, art director and puppeteer on productions as varied as Pee Wees Playhouse and videos from the Smashing Pumpkins. He won Emmys and MTV Video Music Awards, produced off-off-Broadway puppet shows and generally made lots of great art in a wide variety of mediums. And now he's becoming a star of a slightly different sort: an art star. White has become known for paintings that riff off of thrift store lithographs which he augments with hilarious, three-dimensional words and phrases rendered in oils. These pieces, as well as a variety of works on paper, sculptures and installations, have been gathered in the recently-published Ammo Books monograph: Wayne White: Maybe Now Ill Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve by famed (and similarly-multitalented) designer/photographer/art collector Todd Oldham. White's latest piece is a giant George Jones installation at Rice University and a soon-to-be-unveiled set of outdoor works which will debut at the Wolfsonian Museum as part of the international art <b>...</b>

SoLost is not known for a focus on breaking news. But with the epic wave of tornadoes that swept through the South this past week, we felt compelled to mark the moment. Arriving in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the day after the storm, we were, of course, struck by the level of destruction that stretched across the city. But we were also intrigued with the ever-present sound of chainsaws. Who was operating them? Where had they come from? So we set off to find out and got even more that expected. Join us now for a trip into the world of chainsaw samaritans and a few of the lives they touched.

"There are four simple words on the matter, which must be whispered: Color photography is vulgar." So spoke no less an expert then the revered giant of the form, Walker Evans in 1969. Though it might surprise some, Evans was speaking for most of the art world when he delivered his snobbish indictment. Seven years later, a young color photographer from Memphis named William Eggleston was given a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. It was the first time color photography had been exhibited inside this venerable institution and the show was met with an avalanche of critical hostility. 33 years later, the art world has changed its mind. And with a vengeance. Eggleston is now considered a giant of the form and one of the most important American photographers of all time. His rich, often oversaturated images of ordinary objects, places and people offer an almost textbook example of the word intangible; for in these images of the ordinary it is almost impossible to escape a feeling of the extraordinary; though most would be powerless to explain in words exactly what is extraordinary about William Eggleston's images. But they are. As we live in the age of the Internet, we will now invite the reader to read a little further, watch our latest installment of SoLost (yes, starring Eggleston), then head back out into the wilds of the web to learn more about this singular artist. Eggleston's history is too rich and diverse to sum up briefly. Suffice it to say that his work <b>...</b>

Bo Bartlett is an American original. A realist painter with a deliciously surreal touch, the Columbus, Georgia-born artist was a protégé and life-long friend of Andrew Wyeth. His haunting and epic tableaus evoke a Hopper-like sense of longing and mystery combined with a Lynchian-cocktail of menace, beauty and stranger-then-fiction reality. A natural traveler with an entire planet of subject matter to pick from, it might surprise some to learn that Bartlett chooses to spend several months each year painting in the modest Columbus, Georgia, home he grew up in -- in fact to paint in the very bedroom that was his as a child. But it is in fact the place where Bartlett goes each winter and where some of his most vital work is born. "It's a magic world," says Bo, and indeed it is. Come see where some of it is born...

Anyone who's spent more than 15 minutes in Oxford, Mississippi, has probably heard of local legend Ron Shapiro. Now known simply as "Ronzo," this ever-upbeat and unpredictable local icon has, to say the least, a colorful history. Start with the fact that he was fraternity brothers with "Animal House" co-writer Harold Ramis and may or may not have provided the inspiration for one of the film's more iconic characters. Then observe his subsequent move to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he became a theater-operating ski bum. Then note how he fell under the spell of a Southern girl and quickly left ski country behind in order to follow her down to Oxford. Jobless on arrival, he did the natural thing and began to farm Marijuana. Legally. Then he opened and operated the now-legendary Hoka Cinema for 20 years. (That's where Barton and Jamo come in....you can meet them in the video) Along the way he ran for office multiple times (and lost multiple times) and had a t-shirt business. His most recent venture has been to open a juice bar and restaurant in Oxford called "The Main Squeeze." Put one foot in the place and you kind of already know what kind of guy Ron Shapiro is. And that's what he does now. Except when he's running his literary escort service. Or chasing the ladies. (Some things never change...) Admit it, you're intrigued. Meet Ron Shapiro.

These days, much-adored writers seem to enjoy the grind of publicity, embarking on endless interviews and fielding star-struck audiences. Tennessee-based author William Gay is not one of those. Despite having a few critically lauded books under his belt, one of which became a feature film starring Hal Holbrook, Gay seldom agrees to be photographed or filmed. We'd heard he lives in a cabin in secluded Hohenwald, Tennessee, and that he occasionally accepts visitors—so we couldn't resist stopping by to see for ourselves. Needless to say, he let us in and even showed us around, and we discovered that his rustic homestead is charming in its straightforwardness—much like his stories. We learned about his tree house, his connection to Hohenwald, and how, one time, Bob Dylan managed to come between him and his girlfriend. Here, have a rare glimpse into William Gay's world.

SoLost delves into the unique vibe of Mountain View, Arkansas, a place that dubs itself as the folk music capital of the world. Besides being home to a legendary yearly music festival that celebrates folk, bluegrass, country and mountain music, what truly distinguishes Mountain View is the fact that people literally break into song on any street corner, home or porch at any time on any day of the year. And they'll come long distances out of the Ozark hills or even across state borders to do it. Professionals, amateurs, seniors, and teenagers alike all converge on the town square every night of the week to sit in musical circles and play standards and originals from every genre.

So how many people do you know that are equally at home shooting the breeze with fashion grand dame Diana Von Furstenberg or just plain shooting....a deer? As in from a blind? And, of those, how many have shot to the forefront of the fashion world, designing elegantly post-modern Southern threads in a style described by one publication as "Tom Wolfe-meets-Spike Jonze"? And of THOSE, how many decided to place their headquarters not in Paris, Milan or New York, but in Florence? No, not Italy -- Alabama. Florence, Alabama. We're going to hazard a guess that your answer was zero or one. One is correct. One Billy Reid in particular. And there's certainly nobody else like him. Reid hails from tiny Amite, Louisiana. He's been working in the clothing business since he was a teenager and in the past year his star has certainly been on the rise. Within a matter of months he has been given two of the industry's most prominent awards; first being named GQ's Menswear Designer of the Year, and then walking home with the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize of $300000. Not bad for a quiet family man living on Walnut Street in Alabama's eleventh-largest city. It's been a long road to the top for this incredibly likeable master of fabric (and savvy music aficionado) and SoLost decided it was high time we got to know him a little better so you could too.

Noel Webster is one elusive cat. The man operates Muscle Shoals Sound in Sheffield, Alabama—a recording studio with a past as rich as some of the greatest studios in rock-n-roll history. "Hyperbole," you ask? Perhaps. Perhaps, that is, if an act named the Rolling Stones doesn't ring a bell. And you've never heard of Paul Simon. Or Bob Seger. Or Aretha Franklin. Or Rod Stewart. Or Lynyrd Skynyrd. Or....get our drift? (Did we mention last year's Grammy-gobbling insta-classic "Brothers" from The Black Keys?) Yep. All recorded classic titles there in a rickety old building emblazoned with the address: 3614 Jackson Highway. But back to Noel. He owns the place. Brought it back to life, in fact, after it sat defunct for 20 years. He knows the history. He's a master of great analog recordings and the gear that can bring it to life: a kind of musical archeologist who's not only revived the place, but brought back all the equipment to help Muscle Shoals Sound reclaim its original, irreproducible sound. But that doesn't mean he's easy to get on camera. Sure he'll give you a tour (likely at some bizarre hour of the night), but when the camera comes out, he's got a way of disappearing. At about 1 am Saturday morning, Noel the night owl finally, fitfully agreed to sit down with SoLost. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Watch and see why.

South Carolina's "first in the South" primary has a track record of picking the Republican presidential nominee. So you can bet the GOP contenders visit early and often. No matter who the candidate, it wouldn't be a campaign without a visit to The Beacon Drive-In in Spartansburg. Candidates including Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush have lined up to order a chili-cheeseburger from blind counterman JC Stroble -- a Beacon fixture for more than half a century.

One of Mississippi's greatest hidden treasures is Poor Monkey Lounge located in the tiny Delta hamlet of Merigold. Better known simply as "Po Monkeys," the establishment is one of the oldest juke joints operating in America today. Nestled on the edge of a cotton field nearly two miles down a dirt road in this rural agricultural outpost, Po Monkey's was created decades back by the irrepressible Willie "Po Monkey" Seaberry (it's a childhood nickname). And, as any visitor will quickly learn, if advanced degrees were offered in the purveying of good times, Mr. Seaberry would certainly have a Masters Degree-- if not an endowed chair. Mr. Seaberry is a field hand on several area farms and while his days always begin at the crack of dawn, his Thursday nights also end near the crack of dawn as he turns his shack-like residence of nearly 50 years into a juke joint for locals and awestruck out-of-towners. SoLost was one of the visitors recently and while we must confess some cross-cultural difficulty during our interview with Mr. Seaberry, what was never misunderstood was that this was a man who has created something of extraordinary beauty that has stood the test of time. Poor Monkey's has given generations of music loving customers an experience that is uniquely Southern and uniquely American. It was, after all, in places like this where American music was born. Willie Seaberry has fashioned a hand-made masterpiece of folk art, blues and good times in this cypress and tin shack <b>...</b>

SoLost isn't easily impressed. We've seen a lot of magical things throughout this unique land. But one of the greatest things we've ever come across is nothing less than a movie theater. Yes, you hear us correctly: a movie theater. But certainly not an ordinary one: we're talking about a place that has inspired entire families to uproot their lives and move thousands of miles across the country. Yes, for a movie theater. And no, we're not kidding. In fact we kind of like their logic. From Master Pancake Theater to Hecklevision to Sing-Alongs and Quote-Alongs; from nighttime "Jaws" screenings from inner tubes on a lake to a car-eating Robosauras breathing fire in their parking lot to Leonard Nimoy shocking fans with a surprise world premiere of the new Star Trek, this is a spot where every day brings a grand new film event. And did we mention the CEO had a boxing match with the star of "Girlfight"? Yeah, the list goes on. How do they do it? No idea. Why do they do it? Well, the way we see it, nothing short of a boundless passion for film could create something this inspired. Simple as that.

Athens, Georgia culinary institution Weaver D's Delicious Fine Foods was made famous when founder/owner/head chef Dexter Weaver's trademark slogan "Automatic for the People" was lovingly appropriated by fellow Athens natives REM on their landmark 1992 album of the same name. Born in Athens, raised in Baltimore and relocated back to Athens in the early 80's, "D," as he is known to his devoutly loyal followers, is a unique character. Barking "Automatic" to each customer (the regulars get it; newbies like your SoLosters risk complete confusion), "D" takes your main order, then sends you down to the kitchen window to decide on your sides. You can't go wrong. Then it's your choice of seating in the small, homey main dining room. No matter how confused you are by the opaque ordering process, there's no confusing the greatness of the food, the warmth of the atmosphere or the delightfully broad swath of people chowing down all around. Hippy, hipster, suit, rocker, rapper, black, white, red (neck) alike -- and everyone else -- all live in happy harmony at Weaver D's. Shouldn't you? If the commute to Athens, GA is a bit long for you, then why not join our latest SoLost sojourn for a (digital) whiff of culinary & cultural greatness...

Reclusive Arkansas literary genius Charles Portis likely had no idea what a juggernaut he was in the midst of creating when he serialized a story called "True Grit" for the Saturday Evening Post beginning in May of 1968. Born in El Dorado, Ark., Portis was a former newsman. Following a stint in the Korean War, he came home to study journalism and, upon graduation from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1958, began his journalism career at the Arkansas Gazette in Little Rock. After several years, Portis was off to New York to write for the New York Herald-Tribune before getting shipped to England to serve as the paper's London bureau chief. After two years in London, Portis left journalism behind and began to write fiction. His first novel, Norwood, was well-received, but few would have expected that, just 24 months later, he would pen an iconic American classic. The serialized version of "True Grit" was printed as a novel soon after and the film rights were quickly snapped up. Within a year, a movie by the same title appeared in theaters. Directed by Hollywood veteran Henry Hathaway and starring John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn, the film was Hathaway's 64th turn as a director in half as many years. Given the director's prolific nature, it is perhaps not surprising that despite the story's distinctly Arkansas and Oklahoma setting, he never stepped foot in either state and chose to frame the story against a rather unlikely Rocky Mountain backdrop.

There he meets the American Caroline Hartley (Connie Booth) and her 18-year old ward Elinor (Trini Alvarado). Ashby is drawn to them both, particularly Elinor, but is rather surprised when they arrive in Oxford and rent a house. Women are not allowed in the College, nor are Fellows allowed to marry, which puts him in an embarrassing situation. Ashby's rival for the post of College President, Oliver Syme, takes full advantage of this to try and discredit Ashby. However the situation is finally resolved and Ashby and Elinor are finally married. The plot was based on a real-life incident involving Palin's great-grandfather, Edward Palin

See Music Videos www.bvmtv.com that you CAN'T See on You Tube ! +Live Chat and Embed video codes! Rosanne Cash (born May 24, 1955) is an American singer-songwriter and author. She is the eldest daughter of country music singer Johnny Cash and his first wife, Vivian Liberto Cash Distin. Although she is most often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres in addition to country, including Folk, Pop, Rock and Blues. In the 1980s, she had a string of chart-topping singles, which crossed musical genres and landed on both C&W and Top 100 charts, the most commercially successful being her 1981 breakthrough hit "Seven Year Ache", which topped the US country singles charts and reached the top thirty on the US pop singles charts. In 1990, with the release of the darkly introspective Interiors, Cash's music became more personal and her music's sound more stripped down. In 1991 Cash ended her marriage to producer/songwriter Rodney Crowell, and moved from Nashville to New York City, where she continues to write, record and perform. Since 1991 she has released four albums, written two books and edited a collection of short stories. Her fiction and essays have been published in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Oxford-American, New York Magazine, and various other periodicals and collections. She won a Grammy® award in 1985 for "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me," and has received eight other Grammy nominations. She has had eleven #1 country hit singles <b>...</b>

William Shatner plays a white racist in this excerpt from the Roger Corman movie "The Intruder." Yes, he can really act.

Buy the magazine or subscribe at www.oxfordamericanmag.com for the best writing anywhere on Southern culture and life. More details on the movie can be found here: www.dvdtalk.com And searching through Froogle, Shopzilla, Amazon, etc. should find you copies..... What's striking is that the racism that Shatner conveys still resonates as, unfortunately, an effective message even to some of YouTube's viewers.... If you want to fight racism and anti-Semitism today, learn more at the Southern Poverty Law Center's website, www.splcenter.org The snake-like evil and rhetorical cunning embodied by Shatner in this role has been followed up in a more sophisticated way by by the GOP's "Southern Strategy," building on themes first promoted by Gov. George Wallace of Alabama before he recanted his racist pandering. For more on the link between the GOP's current policies and its roots in appealing to white racism, see the essential book, "Chain Reaction: The Impact of Race, Rights and Taxes on American Politics" by Thomas and Mary Edsall. Racism, in a variety of forms, is still alive and well.

Do you know which we can use in British English? realise /realize apologise /apologize organise/ organize recognise/recognize finalise / finalize British English American English realise or realize realize organise or organize organize apologise or apologize apologize Recognise or recognize Recognise or recognize finalise or finalize finalize As you can see from the table British English can use both endings but American English can't. Canadians use the American English endings too. According to the Oxford Dictionary both endings are correct in British English but only one way in American. They recommend you choose one and make sure you stick to it within a piece of writing. The Oxford Dictionary use the --ize ending on their website maybe because the -ize ending is older and preferred by some as it's close to its Greek roots. But --ise is more widely used. *CAREFUL a few words must only be spelled with -- ise: advertise, advise, apprise, chastise, compromise, despise, devise, disguise, excise, exercise, improvise, incise, prise(open), promise.

Although Cash is often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres, including folk, pop, rock and blues. In the 1980s, she had a string of chart-topping singles, which crossed musical genres and landed on both C&W and Top 100 charts, the most commercially successful being her 1981 breakthrough hit "Seven Year Ache", which topped the US country singles charts and reached the Top 30 on the US pop singles charts. In 1990, Cash released Interiors, a spare, introspective album which signaled a break from her pop country past. The following year Cash ended her marriage and moved from Nashville to New York City, where she continues to write, record and perform. Since 1991 she has released five albums, written two books and edited a collection of short stories. Her fiction and essays have been published in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Oxford-American, New York Magazine, and various other periodicals and collections.

MEDIA RELEASE - 20th September 2010 - In reference to the unauthorized removal of the child at birth, Minister Kim Hames' admits, "...past adoption policies (were) implemented by State Governments on mothers..." (Letter from Mr Hames to Origins Inc, 3 June 2010, Ref: 25-13428); - Minister Hames describes such removal as "...simply an accepted practice" (www.abc.net.au accepted means 'consented to' (Oxford American Dictionaries); first legal rule of thumb: one cannot consent to an unlawful act and yet government endorsed and employed agents and agencies did indeed do just that; - Health Minister Hames should be aware that the unauthorized removal of the child at birth -- a practice that occurred across Australia -- constituted major breaches of the Common law; Minister Hames should therefore defer to Justice Richard Chisholm who, in regarding such practice, described it as "abduction in a non-technical sense" (Transcripts of Evidence, Report on Adoption Practices: Second Interim Report, 1999, P. 152); - Furthermore, Minister Hames shows bias in upholding the motive of latter-day apologists who object to the Apology: "There are some who think we shouldn't apologise. Those were the practices of the day. That's why it was done. It was done in the best interests of the mother." (www.abc.net.au - Such ministerial judgment and exoneration of breaches of the Common law in recent media, is an abuse of State government power which can only erode the criminal justice system through <b>...</b>

I Enjoy the Sound of Firearms. Written by Brandon Carroll LYRICS: Alert our companions! A good few of our foes have returned! My superior sense of style will allow me to effectively murder that feeble African American. I'm not prone to expressing emotions of any kind when transitioning between semi-auto, and fully automatic firearms. I enjoy the sound of firearms [2x] I'm told that if you approach the man who calls himself Gucci Mane, that there is a fair chance that that altercation would result in your demise. I plan on being swift when murdering you, And I feel the need to remind you that the firearm I carry has sufficient weight and firepower. I would also like to inform you that I meet the approval of those who wear as many diamonds as myself, and that I handle my firearm with great precision. Although my skin is not as dark as that of my companions, I still share their audacity. I plan on stealing from you all of your money so that I can purchase some marijuana. So I would recommend not attempting to fight with my companions or I. I associate myself with men known for their ability to murder sufficiently, And we happen to exhibit the qualities of primates when fighting. We plan on stealing from you, and there is indeed a good chance that our altercation will end in your demise. I happen to skip my morning meal quite often, but when I do partake in it, my food of choice is cereal and although I am eating, my demeanor is still quite deliberate. Our demeanor is that of <b>...</b>

Complete video at: fora.tv Charles Taylor discusses the history of the first amendment and America's separation of church and state. He discusses the dichotomy between secularism and religiousness and how it has changed over the centuries. ----- Charles Taylor, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, McGill University treats the term "secular" with several different meanings which, for a variety of reasons can't be simply ironed out and reduced to one, hence the inevitability of confusions and cross-purposes. - The New School Charles Margrave Taylor, CC, GOQ, BA, MA, Ph.D, FRSC (born November 5, 1931) is a Canadian philosopher who has made significant contributions to political philosophy, philosophy of social science, and the history of philosophy. He is often classified as a communitarian, though he is uncomfortable with the label. He is a practicing Roman Catholic. Taylor was educated at the McGill University (BA in History in 1952) and at Balliol College, Oxford (BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics in 1955, MA in 1960, D.Phil in 1961), where he studied under Isaiah Berlin and GEM Anscombe. He succeeded John Plamenatz as Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory in the University of Oxford and Fellow of All Souls College and was for many years Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where he is now professor emeritus. Taylor is now Board of Trustees Professor of Law and Philosophy at Northwestern University.
