Blab Blab Blab: As Ryan Mingles, Abbie Talks Heath

on working with her Candy costar Heath Ledger. A.C. was more than happy to wax poetic about her former fellow Aussie as opposed to her current flame, Ryan Phillippe, while schmoozing the Behind the Camera Awards. Interesting that Ryan was happily chatting up everyone else all night, leaving a lonely-looking Ab alone most of the evening to fend for herself all though the fete. Exactly what Abbie's friends predicted would happen.

Sound Bites of the 1908 Presidential Candidates

roncosmos writes "Science News has up a feature on the first use of sound recording in a presidential campaign. In 1908, for the first time, presidential candidates recorded their voices on wax cylinders. Their voices could be brought into the home for 35 cents, equivalent to about $8 now. In that pre-radio era, this was the only way, short of hearing a speech at a whistle stop, that you could hear the candidates. The story includes audio recordings from the 1908 candidates, William Jennings Bryan and William Howard Taft. Bryan's speech, on bank failures, seems sadly prescient now. Taft's, on the progress of the Negro, sounds condescending to modern ears but was progressive at the time. There are great images from the campaign; lots of fun."

The truth beneath Jasper Johns' stars and stripes

The American flag becomes a fraught ambiguous thing, at once object and history, public icon and secret diary, in Jasper Johns' revelatory masterpiece painted - or is the right word "made"? - in 1954 or 1955. It is a painting that is also a sculpture. At first, what you see is simple: the stars and stripes, love 'em or hate 'em. Look closer - and this is, profoundly, a work of art to experience in itself. In the original - owned by New York's Museum of Modern Art since the 1950s - you start to see are fragments of headlines and photographs clipped from newspapers, sunk beneath the soft waxen surface of the work. Johns painted Flag using the encaustic method, an ancient art form in which pigments are suspended in hot wax.
