Yes. She teaches, so 75% of the tuition was covered by her school anyway. She also was awarded a prestigious 4-year scholarship (a nice award in recognition for her previous experience and artwork), so she paid nearly nothing. Since she already had a Masters in Art Education, every lump of credits went towards maximizing her salary. She's paid well. :nod:

In addition, she has used her MFA experience and connections for other income opportunities during the year and especially the summer.

MICA was one of the top 3 MFA programs in the country and only took in 10 or so students per year (I'm sure it is still near the top, even though they expanded the program).
This reminds me of the story in the museum and something involving a jacket. Can't remember it exactly, but I remember it was funny as shit.
Yeah, ever since then Mrs. Cluck has been very careful about bringing me to certain art shows, and I rarely get invited to attend her serious art functions. :mrgreen:

I posted the article below on her wall one day...one of my favorites. :lol:

"(This classic Dave Barry column was originally published Jan. 18, 2004.)

Whenever I write about art, I get mail from the Serious Art Community informing me that I am a clueless idiot. So let me begin by stipulating that I am a clueless idiot. This is probably why I was unable to appreciate a work of art I viewed recently, titled: ``Chair.''

I saw ``Chair'' at Art Basel, a big art show held recently on Miami Beach. It attracted thousands of Serious Art People, who wear mostly black outfits and can maintain serious expressions no matter what work of art they are viewing. This is hard, because a lot of Serious Art consists of bizarre or startlingly unattractive objects, or ``performances,'' wherein artists do something Conceptual, such as squirt Cheez Whiz into an orifice that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for snack toppings."

Protesters Tell Police How To Do Their Job

Post by travelinman67 »

Don't Shoot Coalition submits to Police their "Rules of Engagement".
1) The first priority shall be preservation of human life.
2)  Channels of communication will be established so that situations can be de-escalated if necessary.
3)  Police will give protesters 48 hours notice before grand jury decision is announced.
4)  Police will provide the public information that makes clear the chain of command, who is making what decisions and the processes for deciding when the police response will be escalated.
5)  Every attempt should be made to communicate with protesters to reach “common sense” agreements based on these protocols, both ahead of time and at the scene of protests.
6)  Clear standards of professionalism and sound community friendly-policing will be maintained and adhered to at all times.
7)  Police will wear only the attire minimally required for their safety. Specialized riot gear will be avoided except as a last resort.
8) Crowd control equipment such as armored vehicles, rubber bullets, rifles and tear gas will not be used.
9)  Police and other government authorities will not interfere with the free flow of information through tactics such as limiting cell or internet access, interception of cell or other mobile conversations or unwarranted wiretaps.
10) Every attempt will be made to pinpoint arrests so that only individual lawbreakers will be arrested.  “Kettling” and mass arrests will not be used.
11) Safe houses shall be considered sacred ground and only entered by police when called upon or if extremely necessary.
12) Media and Legal Observers shall not be considered participants in protests and shall be allowed to do their jobs freely.
13) Every attempt will be made to provide alternate routes or other means for non-involved persons to get to places of employment and meet other transportation necessities.
14) Strategically, police commanders will allow protests to take and occupy larger and more disruptive spaces than would normally be tolerated, and will allow occupation of those spaces for longer periods of time than would normally be tolerated.
15) Police will be instructed to be tolerant of more minor lawbreaking (such as thrown water bottles) when deciding whether to escalate the use of force.
16) Police rank and file will be instructed to provide every latitude to allow for free assembly and expression, treating protesters as citizens and not “enemy combatants.”
17) Excessive force and other forms of police misconduct will not be tolerated.
18) Intimidation and harassment of protesters will not be tolerated. This include pretextual pedestrian or traffic stops, contacting of employers or family members, pre-emptive arrests or detention of “leaders,” publishing of private information and any other means of intimidation and harassment.
19) Bond for arrestees will not be set above the levels which would be considered average over the last two years, and arrestees will not be held for periods longer than average lengths of time.  Medical care will be liberally made available.  Attorneys will be able to travel to and meet with clients without impediments.
Boy! That's a lot of words!

I just had an "oh shit" moment. Wed and Thurs are my two days a week that I have to work in DC now that I recently relocated back to Delaware. So, I get a room each Wed night. Tonight I'm staying at Andrews AFB. I decided to get some Popeyes chicken for dinner just outside the gate. I'm the ONLY white person in the place and I counted exactly 15 black patrons plus all black staff. No biggie.

Now then, the TV is on Maury and the music is a mix station. In the matter of less than a minute, the song Life In A Northern Town comes on. I dig the song, but I must say, it felt really white and really awkward at that moment and I felt like black eyes were looking at me and sensing I secretly dug this one hit wonder from an 80s euro band. Then, OMG THEN, the Maury station broke for commercial and the local news did a teaser and had a correspondent in Ferguson. I almost choked. Thank GOD it wasn't a grand jury announcement. They would have seen my fastest 40 yard dash ever.

I can't believe I let my guard down so bad. :shock: :lol:

Make sure you always carry rap music on your iPhone. That way you can reason with them that you are sympathetic to their oppression.


No, wait. Better yet. Lock the doors, and only go through the drive-thru. Keep the car in "drive" the entire time and always check your mirrors.


No, that's no good either. Just have a pizza delivered and make sure the gun is showing as you make the payment. :nod:
