I feel rather sad about the summer ending. It seems impossible that three months has passed since my birthday. I’ve always thought of the new year as beginning now rather than in January, and I still feel that way (even though this year’s Rosh Hashona is a month away). It’s chilly out now and today was sunny but just a bit too cool for swimming. I spent the afternoon with Josh – we drove around, played pinball at Buddy’s, chatted in the backyard. He’s just as sour on life as he always was; maybe he’s even worse. He and Simon went to the Eighth Street Bookshop to get an ABC to Literary Magazines by R.C. Morse, which I told him about. He said he saw Alice there, rummaging through magazines looking for a story by me. Laura mentioned staying with Peter Spielberg on the Cape, and Josh and Simon made the mistake of putting Peter down in front of her; she cooled considerably after hearing their comments. Josh and his friend Fat Ronnie want to start a literary magazine called Moron; the name expresses their general philosophy.

The petition was initiated and circulated by the National Association of Consumer Advocates (“NACA”), National Consumer Law Center on behalf of its low-income clients (“NCLC”), Americans for Financial Reform , National Consumers League , Consumer Action, Public Citizen, U.S. PIRG, and Consumer Federation of America. Related to this petition, on January 26, 2015, we emailed a letter signed by 83 national, state and community advocacy organizations urging the FCC to keep important consumer and privacy protections for cell phone users. These organizations encourage the FCC to protect consumers and not to permit any changes in the current regulations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act regarding the definition of autodialer or “called party,” or the liability of callers to reassigned numbers. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ellen Taverna at NACA, [email protected] (202 452-1989, extension 109) or Margot Saunders at NCLC, [email protected] (202 452 6252, extension 104).

Bone china - standard English porcelain containing the ashes of bones, making it more chip-resistant. Ceramics - the process of making useful or ornamental objects from clay by shaping them and then firing at high temperatures. Clays - natural earthy materials that are plastic when wet, consisting usually of hydrates of silica. Different kinds and colors of clay account fro the differences in the finished products. Clay can be molded into almost any shape. Earthenware - pottery made of baked or hardened coarse and file:///G|/June%20Converted/SIDEBAR_1.txt (1 of 2)5/27/2007 3:55:27 PM file:///G|/June%20Converted/SIDEBAR_1.txt opaque clays. Glaze - a shiny coating, rendering porcelain impervious to liquids and imparting a surface brilliance. Glazes can be translucent, opaque, or colored. Kiln - a furnace or oven for drying something by exposing it to high heat. Porcelain - a strong ceramic material that transmits light and that has developed vitreosity (the quality of brittle glass) by being exposed to heat. Pottery - any receptacle made of clay, but usually referring to earthenware fired at low temperature as distinguished from stoneware or porcelain, fired at higher temperatures. Stoneware - a hard, opaque, vitreous ceramic ware, usually "salt-glazed" by throwing common salt into the kiln when it reaches maximum temperature. The salt decomposes into sodium oxide and hydrochloric acid.

  • DOOMED and FAMOUS Selections from the Adrian Dannatt Collection
    MIGUEL ABREU GALLERY DOOMED AND FAMOUS Selections from the Adrian Dannatt Collection January 16 – March 13, 2021 36 Orchard Street All notes by Adrian Dannatt Clockwise 1 HUGO GUINNESS Tit, 2020 signed; signed, titled and dated on the reverse oil on board 8 x 10 inches (20.32 x 25.4 cm) Hugo Guinness is the most belovèd Englishman in New York, as adored for his elegant persona and naughty wit as his art. An eternal man-about-town spanning several continents, Guinness has been an advertising copywriter, ceramic craftsman, actor, voice-over artist and flowerpot designer not to mention muse and story man to Wes Anderson. Best known for his drawings and distinctive block prints, of late Guinness has happily been developing his pictorial practice with actual paintings, of which this distinctive “tit” is particularly pleasing. It makes the perfect introduction to the exhibition, as dextrous as decorative, comic as poignant. ARTIST SELF-PORTRAITS Sometimes one ends up with two things of the same type without really being aware of it, and accidentally put them together and bingo, gracious me, then find a third and by the fourth it’s a thing. Pencil self-portraits by artists; and I am pleased anew at just how good they look together, these three, Noguchi, Richard Prince, Hirst, each making the other look better, actual draughtsmanship in action here, hands to the face, glances askance. There is another really great one, the young John Bratby chain-smoking, but I left it in London as nobody knows him stateside; and one I really wanted to buy from Simone Subal by Brian O’Doherty as a young medical student—too expensive.
