Freud ceased to publicly recommend use of cocaine, but continued to take it himself occasionally for depression, migraine and nasal inflammation during the early 1890s, before giving it up in 1896.

She seeks to blend politics and art to empower immigrants through English classes, legal help and impromptu performances. She has held workshops to write slogans — like “I am today what your grandparents were yesterday” — that she plans to print on bumper stickers and T-shirts. And she intends to live like her working-class Latino neighbors; she has vowed not to tap her credit cards, personal bank account or assistants in Italy and Cuba.
She has already learned a thing or two. After finding her apartment and roommates in January through a flier on the street, she was surprised that the local gym did not offer yoga.
Her roommates, especially an out-of-work Ecuadorean laborer, do not know what to make of her. “I explained to them four times what I’m doing already,” she said. “They don’t get it. They’re not very excited.”

“She’s an artist? I didn’t know that,” said J. P. Jimenez, a salesman at Metropolitan Lumber and Hardware on Roosevelt Avenue, opposite the storefront Ms. Bruguera opened last month. “I don’t see nobody going in with paintings.”

Art disrupts wedding plans at Chicago's Art Institute
http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2011-05/61683742.jpg
"They sold us a wedding site that was being used as a sculpture terrace," said Sainati. "(But) this installation is like a clown's nightmare. … (So) it would seem to violate the spirit of the contract." "A riot of color and play" is the museum's description.... An "acid-trip funhouse" is Berger's take.
Shut up.

If it hadn't been for the comments dissing the installation (comments made by a person who holds a degree in art history and who worked at MoMA in NYC), I might have felt a little sympathy since the installation blocks the view of the skyline, a view that the Art Institute advertises in rental promotion materials.

Though dismissed by hard-core leave-no-trace campers (who don’t so much as move a rock for fear of affecting the area), glamping can still be an environmentally sound outdoor experience, even if it does include creature comforts (like not having too many creatures inside your tent).
So basically there are two kinds of campers: those who "glamp" and those who not only avoid moving even the very rocks themselves, but actively enjoy have animals inside their tents.
Good research, Jennifer Conlin. Presumably you interviewed some of these "hard core" campers? The ones who "dismiss" your totally fake "trend". Right? Otherwise what dismissal are you talking about?
