Word is starting to get out that people will soon be able to check into a big, brand new hotel being built in Mid-Michigan.
The courtyard by Marriott-Bay City is being advertised by the people at Pure Michigan.
A four-story courtyard by Marriott Hotel is taking shape in Bay City. It's one of the main buildings in the Uptown at the RiversEdge complex next to the Saginaw River.
"People love to come downtown. They love to come and have meetings here," said Candace Bales, Bay City downtown development authority chief.
Bales is elated that news is starting to get out that the new hotel is slated to open in December. The Pure Michigan website is letting the world know about the courtyard by Marriott.
"Pure Michigan takes it to another level. We are a destination, a place worth spending time worth visiting for a day or a weekend or maybe bringing your business," Bales said.
Bales said the arrival of the Marriott will boost the Doubletree and other hotels by making Bay City an attractive convention location.
"The Marriott only extends that option, we understand that they'll be able to partner with the other hotel and have larger conferences that are now being turned away," Bales said.
The riverwalk into Uptown would link the Doubletree and the Marriott through walkable space less than half a mile away.
The courtyard by Marriott will add another 97 rooms, three suites and two meeting rooms for meetings and conventions.
Once finished, the Uptown at RiversEdge project will also feature Dow Corning, McLaren Healthcare and Chemical Bank.

Frankly, I like Rock Bottom's beer for the most part, but this was BY FAR THE WORST THING I DRANK there; Barleywines are typically my favorite style of beers, and yet this is perhaps the worst American barleywine I've ever had. Overlysweet barley with unbalanced hop flavors left me shaking my head after each drink. Pitifully undrinkable and syrupy.

I'm so glad that Iowa now has the opportunity to brew some higher-proof beer to a. compete with breweries in other states and b. show Iowan's that 6% is a relatively low benchmark.
This beer seemed a bit imposing to me. The 10.3% ABV was intimidating at first, but then the creature appeared in front of me and I began to tremble in my bar stool. It's a very cloudy brown with a tan fiz on the top. The aroma seemed to make me think of a BBQ smoker with the woody smell but there was caramel and maybe fruit in there too. This beer almost requires chewing because it's so thick and rich. My tongue couldn't decide between black liquirosh or butterscotch being the main accent. Whatever it was laid heavy on my tongue and got even heavier as lunch progressed. Two hours later and a breathmint as I'm writing this review at work the flavor is still with me. It doesn't sting on the way down, it just doesn't let go. I like it.
Overall, this brew is fantastic and I hope to see more like this in different styles from RB. Just a note, the higher-proof stuff DOES cost more.

Roasted pecan brown that lightened to caramel in the middle and sunflower yellow at the bottom. A thick slice of pale gold colored foam melted to thin swirls of light cream atop the surface of the liquid, while the snifter was decorated with finely dotted sheets of lace that became shotgun-blasted in time.
The nose was caramel malty (no surprise given the appearance) and was incredibly fruity. Much more fruity than most American barleywines. It smelled powerful in the high-ABV beer sense, but wasn't as aromatic as it could have been; something that was at least partially remedied by the middle of the glass.
New Era Barleywine was incredibly complex beer and is an amazing first effort at the style for wdmrock (if it actually is his first effort). My default position in most areas of my life is one of guarded expectations. It's becoming increasingly obvious that that philosophy has no business being applied to beer from this brewpub in the recent past. Or, I could keep it and continue to be pleasantly surprised.
The flavor profile was dominated by caramel and overripe apples. Other contributors included candied cherries, earthy tobacco, brown sugar, and hints of vanilla and oak. Drinking the final few swallows with my lunch brought out butterscotch notes. Sweet (moderate) and bitter (also moderate) were in wonderful balance.
This offering was well-mannered without being the least bit wimpy. That's all the more remarkable since it has only been aged since November. The complete lack of raw-hot-fusel alcohol is rare, in least in my experience, in a fresh brewpub barleywine.
Even though the mouthfeel was a fraction lighter than ideal, the rest of its qualities were enjoyable. Each sip was silky, supple, sneakily creamy and pleasantly clingy. Spot-on carbonation was key.
New Era Barleywine is aptly named because it heralds a new, more enlightened era for craft beer in the state of Iowa. This was a fantastic start. Now bring on the Belgian-style tripels, the Russian Imperial stouts, the quadrupels, and all the rest. Highly recommended.

Lindsay Sandiford lawyers go to the Court of Appeal
Lindsay Sandiford's lawyers will go to the Court of Appeal today in London over a UK Government refusal to fund her appeal against a death sentence imposed by an Indonesian court after she was found guilty of drug smuggling.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it would not pay for "an adequate lawyer" the 56-year-old British grandmother from Cheltenham.
Sandiford was sentenced to death by firing squad by a court in Bali for taking £1.6 million of cocaine on to the island.
Earlier this month Sandiford, originally from Redcar, Teesside, lost the first appeal to the Bali High Court but is expected to take her case to Indonesia's Supreme Court.

If you have been through school you'd have asked yourself or someone else if all you were taught were relevant in the first place. You look at all the information you are required to soak in and you wonder if it could be learned - and if it can, then you wonder if you could learn it. I look back at my over twenty years of formal education and I realize I was never taught how to learn. I am just now learning how I learn and it is amazing the simple stuff I am discovering.
How do you learn? Have you ever learned how to learn? I ask this not as a trick question - although it feels like one - but because learning isn't automatic. It is a skill - an art in it's own right - and must be learned itself. Think about it, how did the ancients learn how to learn? Many ancient cultures have left us glimpses into how they taught their children how to learn. They told them stories and fables, they took advantage of their childhood and teenage years to input the life information they wanted to pass across. They raised their children in peers, groups, cults and fraternities. This developed communal learning and ensured deeper lifelong learning experience. But how do we "modern" cultures learn?
In the next few articles we will look into modern ways to learn. I will in effect show you ways I am learning how to learn. I will give examples where it suffices and will also be very incisive and informative. So lets get right to it.
Learn by activity and NOT just by reading. This is important. We are trained to read and read and finally it will become a part of us. I have taught my students for a few years now this same principle of reading until it sticks that didn't work with me. My excuse? That was exactly what I was taught. So, I was probably saying to myself that, "although it didn't work with me it must work with someone else for my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and hundreds of other teachers to say it works."
I am only now realizing that what is wrong remains wrong even if the whole world says it was right. Until fairly recent world history, people of different cultures - from the Chinese to the Greek, Indian to Aboriginal - believed the world was flat. It was until people like, Herodotus, Pythagoras and Parmenides, postulated a possible spherical earth that the whole world population began to entertain its possibility. The earth didn't become spherical when they postulated it. It had always been so and all the people and cultures of the earth thinking it was flat wouldn't change it.
Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn. - Benjamin Franklin
It is the same with the "read, read, read" approach to learning. In fact, when you learn by activity you learn faster, recall better and enjoy the process. Do not take only my words for this. Pause and think of the things you do perfectly and without thinking about it like riding a bicycle. Did you learn them by reading about them or by taking activities on them? I already know your answer and this is so because your brain relates to activities and develops a pattern for doing it again and again.
Finally, I realized, while I was learning to write, that no matter how much I read about writing I didnt know how to. It was until I began to write that I became better and better. Today I am an author, write regularly for a blog and for other people.

This book traces and analyzes the events that resulted in the breakup of AT&T, the largest corporate reorganization in history. As the author demonstrates, AT&T's status eroded over many years. That process of erosion began when the FCC allowed competition into small corners of the telecommunications system, while professing support for the overall status of AT&T. But as the FCC should have foreseen, the structure of regulatory prices provided a generous price umbrella for the new entrants into telecommunications. Each time the FCC allowed more entry, both the entrants' expected profits and the demand for still more entry rose.

Cape Town - South Africa's 'Mother City'
Cape Townis Africa's most beautiful city and one of the world's great urban locations. Table Mountain dominates the skyline and forms the spectacular backdrop to visitors' experiences here. A cable car up the mountain may be the first entry on many a visitor's wish-list, but the city's many historic buildings and museums are a finer way of finding out what makes Cape Town tick. From graceful Dutch Colonial mansions to Long Street's fine collection of Victorians to must-see historic sites such as Slave Lodge and the Castle of Good Hope, the city is at its most elegant when presenting its past. That past is of course often a heartbreaking one of struggle for survival, and the District Six museum both chronicles and is a testament to the courage and endurance of those forceably removed from their homes in the 1970s. Then go modern: stroll the buzzing waterfront, then follow this with a bartering-session at the city's hub, Greenmarket Square, shopping heaven for locals and visitors alike. Table Mountain may grab photographers' interest, but Greenmarket's buzz and bustle is in many ways the essential Cape Town experience.

Michelin may prove the exception to a major Liberal campaign pledge if the company comes looking for support for a much-rumoured expansion in the Annapolis Valley.
There are many indicators — including the proposed relocation of a neighbouring airport — of a pending expansion at the company's site in Waterville, one that could be worth as much as $500million. Were it to happen, there's also plenty of evidence to suggest a request for support would be made of the province.
Since 2004, there's been a non-binding agreement between the provincial government and Michelin for support from taxpayers toward a percentage of projects here. During that time, the province has kicked in $8.8 million for work at the Waterville plant in 2013, $6 million and $4.2million for work at the Bridgewater plant in 2007 and 2006, respectively, $10.8 million in 2006 for work at Waterville and $4 million combined in 2004 for work at Bridgewater and Waterville.
The funding allows Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. to make competitive pitches internally to the company's head office when it comes to investment and expansion in Nova Scotia, according to a spokeswoman for the Economic and Rural Development Department.
The company follows "the normal process of submitting a formal request for funding to the department. All projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis," Tina Thibeau said in an email.
One of the centrepieces of the Liberals' election campaign was putting an end to corporate handouts. Premier Stephen McNeil reiterated that point recently when he announced the province turned down a bailout request from Northern Pulp. He also told a Halifax Chamber of Commerce luncheon last month that the province can't be the banker for business.
But when it comes to Michelin, it might be a different story.
Economic and Rural Development Minister Michel Samson said there's no formal ask from Michelin right now, but he said the government is well aware of the "traditional investments that have been made."
It's something that would likely be touched upon in a soon-to-be-released review of the province's economic development tools, said Samson.
"It would seem that that's an investment that Nova Scotians have supported over the years in recognizing that it's helped maintain jobs in the province and, in many cases, it's increased the amount of employees that Michelin has throughout the province."
On Monday, Michelin announced that its Pictou County plant would shed 500 jobs over the next 16 months due to changing economic markets. All affected employees will be offered relocation to the company's other two Nova Scotia plants, access to small-business development loans or retirement options.
Samson said the relationship between the province and Michelin is "a completely different issue" than the circumstances the premier has discussed and the party campaigned on during the election.
"I would not look at it as a situation of Michelin asking us to be a bank. Instead, it's a partnership that has existed for many years and one that I believe that Nova Scotians fully support and that, more importantly, they've seen the real benefits of it. … There's certainly no fear of that money leaving the province or not being spent where it should be spent."

Securing water supplies for the City of Salisbury
Joint media release
1 August 2013
The potable water demand in the City of Salisbury area will be reduced by up to 400 million litres per year, with the recent completion of two stormwater projects.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment and Urban Water Amanda Rishworth today officially opened the Unity Park Biofiltration and Reuse Scheme and the Salisbury Stormwater Harvesting Project.
Ms Rishworth said the Australian Government contributed $13.5 million towards the projects which will help to secure future water supplies for the City of Salisbury.
"Our investment in these two innovative projects is part of our ongoing commitment to help urban and regional centres prepare for a future with less water," Ms Rishworth said.
The Salisbury Stormwater Harvesting Project uses wetlands to capture and cleanse stormwater and involves building a series of bores to inject the water into the natural aquifer where it will be stored until extracted for use when needed. This avoids evaporation losses and also reduces the volume of urban runoff reaching Gulf St Vincent.
"It's expected that some 6.3 billion litres per annum of stormwater from this project will be used to irrigate green spaces in the city reducing the amount of potable water used, which is more than twice the capacity of the Hope Valley Reservoir," Ms Rishworth said.
Minister for Water and Member for Port Adelaide, Mark Butler said the projects are a great example of governments working together to best meet the water needs of urban and regional communities.
"We're committed to working with local governments to improve water security in urban and regional areas, and through our partnership with the local council we are helping the City of Salisbury secure a sustainable water supply," Mr Butler said.
Tony Zappia, the local member for Makin said the second project, the Unity Park Biofiltration and Reuse Scheme, puts technology to work by using infrastructure to treat water in a similar way to how it would filter naturally through a wetland ecosystem.
"This biofiltration system takes up about 10 per cent of the area of a wetland and has the potential to be used in townships throughout Australia where land is scarce and stormwater could supplement existing water supplies," Mr Zappia said.
"In an urbanised area where we don't have the space to create wetlands we're able to recreate a similar process to make the most of the water supplies available to us."
The water savings achieved through these projects would not be possible without the Australian Government's ongoing commitment to programs such as the National Water Security Plan for Cities and Towns and the National Urban Water and Desalination Plan.

Fire crews could remain at Stockport blaze for days
Fire crews could remain at a recycling plant in Stockport for up to a week or more tackling a blaze that started yesterday.
At its height, 50 firefighters fought the flames at the plant on Stockport Road West in Bredbury.
They brought the fire - which involved several hundred tonnes of recycled paper and plastic - under control and began dampening down and turning over the burnt waste to try and eliminate hot spots.
Overnight, 35 firefighters tackled the deep seated blaze and continue this morning.
Ashton Road is likely to remain closed today as firefighting operations continue.
Scientists are working to test the dust and debris that is settling and anyone who is affected by smoke is asked, as a precaution to keep doors and windows closed.
– Group Manager Steve Sheridan
The fire is still burning away but during the hours of darkness we had to pull our crews back a little for safety reasons but we continued to put a large amount of water on the fire from above.
"It's always more difficult during the hours of darkness and the biggest risk was the bales of waste which could easily collapse, so I had to put firefighter safety first.
"The smoke plume has dropped down slightly because of a switch in the weather and it's blowing close to the M60 so we're working closely with the Highways Agency to keep motorists safe.
– Group Manager Steve Sheridan
"We've also been working with local businesses to help them out this morning, helping vans get access to Smiths, they were able to get 700,000 newspapers delivered across Greater Manchester today."

The United States spent over $1 billion on military action in NATO's campaign against Muammar el-Gaddafi, and it has been spending even more each week in Iraq and Afghanistan. The oppressive regimes of Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and the Taliban have been displaced, engendering hope for better lives. Yet, these billions of dollar in military action may have diminished terrorism, or inspired more.
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), has an annual budget of about $300 million, with the U.S. covering 22 percent, or $70 million. However, after UNESCO admitted Palestine as a member on October 31, the U.S. stopped payment because legislation prohibits funding any United Nations agency that recognizes the Palestinian state. Nevertheless, on December 13 UNESCO will raise the flag of Palestine at its headquarters.
Who cares except UNESCO? Some critics in the United States see the Paris-based organization as the exemplar of everything bad about the United Nations. Distant from the Security Council's control, some see it as a hot bed of effete socialism. It would be a convenient vision for a cut, but their perception is not accurate.
After a 19 year separation, the U.S. rejoined UNESCO in 2003, not just for its support of education, science, and culture, but also for the agency' contribution to peace. UNESCO is no substitute for national defense forces or multilateral peace-keeping initiatives, but in its own much smaller way, UNESCO gets to the heart of the matter why do people fight? Sometimes it's for principled beliefs, sometimes resources, but often it's bad relationships, underpinned by differences in culture, religion and language. How do you stop the fighting? Armed conflict is rarely sufficient and, typically, no one wins. But talk can help these situations, especially when it's about the relationship and not the fight.
UNESCO encourages discussion on unifying issues of science, education and culture. The discussion can be cumbersome after all it is the U.N., with requisite resolutions and preambulatory niceties. But everyone is included, and that matters when emotions run high and views are divided. Science crosses ideological lines. In the heat of cold war, scientists in the U.S. and the Soviet Union collaborated through forums provided by UNESCO. Culture is another avenue for peace. In the wake of Muammar el-Gaddafi's fall, Libya's major cities are still flooded with arms, and tribal groups may yet find ways to fight. While others were focused on the armed rebellion, UNESCO focused on cultural sites and museums, assessing the damage, loss, and needs, and moving forward with initiatives for immediate security, retrieval of stolen artifacts, and review of laws for long-term protection, study, and public appreciation. UNESCO can help refocus the transitional committee on different laws and agencies, rather than focusing on divisive issues who did the most to overthrow Ghaddafi, as some from Misuarta have advanced. The United States should find a way to pay its dues, give extra support to UNESCO's work in the interim, and keep our flag raised whether it's next to Palestine's or not.

There was once a time when you could buy street vehicles made by a farm equipment manufacturer, and IHC products still show up in self-service wrecking yards today. In this series so far, we've seen this '70 Scout, this '71 Travelall, this '71 Scout, this '72 1010 pickup, this '73 Scout, and this '74 Scout. The crew-cab Travelette is a machine you won't see every day, so I shot this '62 that I spotted in a Northern California wrecking yard. (Read More…)

Perhaps you haven't lived in a flyover state where brown leather gear dominates your town during Rodeo season. While the Ford+King Ranch press release celebrating the 15th Anniversary of those famous brown leather pickups reached the autoblogosphere, only a local writer with an internationally known knack for automotive snark both finds the sweet mochalicious lede and refuses to bury it in the dirt.
And what does that mean? You gotta click to find out. (Read More…)
TTAC reader Evan Reisner thinks that a small pickup is just the ticket for GM. But it's not the one you may expect.
The prevailing wisdom on TTAC is that many Americans are interested in a compact pickup truck – but the same wisdom also suggests that such a truck would be bad for GM's CAFE ratings. Market demand aside, CAFE is one of the reasons that Chrysler and Ford got out of the small truck game.
Yet few people know that The General has a product that can combine the best of both worlds. But they've chosen not to offer it in the USA.
TTAC Commentator sastexan writes:
With the extreme cold throughout the US and seeing a few shredded tires on the highway this week (in fact, I had a flat myself – not sure what caused it but possibly doing donuts in the FR-S on a parking lot last week with lots of broken up ice on the edges), I got to thinking about spare tires. (Read More…)
With Toyota serving as the market leader in body-on-frame trucks (the Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner and now departed FJ Cruiser), taking aim at the off-road segment seems like a logical next step for their TRD aftermarket division. The new TRD Pro lineup, shown above, clearly apes the styling cues of the Ford Raptor, and is evidence that Toyota is not going to let the Blue Oval have that market all to itself
The TRD Pro trucks won't get any engine upgrades, but every truck in the lineup gets TRD Bilstein shocks with a remote reservoir, TRD-tuned front springs, a front skid plate, and unique grille with a large Toyota badge in the center. All three of the vehicles will have lifted front ends, with the Tundra and Tacoma getting a 2 inch raise while the 4Runner makes do with 1.5.
The Tundra will get 18 inch wheels, with the 4Runner getting 17 inchers and the Tacoma sporting 16″ wheels. Each vehicle will get an upgraded interior with TRD parts, with the 4Runner sports an extra inch of wheel travel and the Tacoma gets a TRD exhaust.
We see quite a few AM General DJ-5 mail Jeeps in this series, but what about all the big FJ-series mail trucks built by AMC with help from its Overland-Willys-Kaiser ancestry? For that, I had to venture to Southern California. Most of those 1970s FJ-8s seem to have become more or less sketchy ice cream trucks, and it's hard to find a creepier Junkyard Find than a dead ice cream truck. (Read More…)
So, it's mechanically identical to the Colorado. But it comes in brown.
I used to daily drive a 1969 Chevrolet CST/10. The 1967 to 1972 Chevrolet and GMC trucks were a big step towards what we see now as a modern pickup. Gone were the divorced hood and fender styling, strong (uni)brow hood line, and lean-forward look of the cab. This bodystyle would later define the bodylines and grille design of the later trucks, especially in the early GMT800 trucks where they share the same hood and style-line down the side.
What arrived was a clean-cut design, with more upright styling, streamlined front and side sheet metal, and modern proportions. The coil spring trailing arm suspension in the rear was a revolution in handing and ride comfort; so much so that NASCAR still uses an identical rear suspension today. The long control arms are resistant to axle hop, and improve the behavior of the rear axle. The front suspension was a short/long-arm design, similar to contemporary GM sedans at the time, though much stronger. (Read More…)
A woman and her horse: the pairing that GM hopes will persuade female consumers to consider the Chevrolet line of trucks. At a time when truck ads are pushing masculinity to absurd heights, it's a bold move. Even so, it's a fundamentally conservative approach to a difficult marketing problem.
The Dodge Tradesman cargo van of the 1970s was quite popular among customizers back in the days of 20% annual inflation and talk-box guitar solos, as we saw with this '72 Tradesman Junkyard Find last year. In the very same San Francisco Bay Area wrecking yard, here's a Slant-6 Tradesman that doesn't quite qualify as a custom van— not with just tinted glass and aftermarket wheels— but is still a nice time capsule.

Any pastel artist who frames their work will tell you that pastel dust is an issue. Over time pastel dust falls from the work and dirties the bottom edge of the matting. When framing and matting a pastel painting, before mounting the matting into the frame fix a thin piece of mat board (about an inch wide) around the back of the last mat, an inch or so from the window opening, on all four sides. This will give a space for that dust to fall and not smear the bottom edge and will keep the artwork just a little farther from the glass.
It was most interesting to watch the interview that Joan Flynn gave Paula, Leonard and Victoria on her show "Life is Good". Although it is televised through Comcast I want to let interested people know that you can view this interview right on your computer! Just go to www.cityofwarren.org and click on TV Warren in the RIGHT column. Scroll down to the "Life is Good" video and click on the arrow to start.
To thin my oil paints, I prefer Weber Odorless Turpenoid. It's thin and colorless and it decreases drying time. I pour into a glass jar with lid (think pickle jar) and reuse. The paint sediment will fall to the bottom of the jar leaving the clear turp floating on the top. Although odorless, the thinner is still a hazardous material and should not be poured down the drain (save the fish people).
I recently tried a non-toxic thinner, Oil of Spike Lavender. This medium smells like heaven, that is if you are a fan of Lavender, which I really really am. I poured a small amount into a bowl and dipped my brush directly into the lavender oil then into my paint. The strokes started out very smooth however as I was working, the painting started to get gummy. As I reworked the painting adding layers the medium started to have a sticky consistency. Also, the smell of Lavender can be very intense and made my eyes tear after prolonged use (or was I crying over my sticky painting?). This product is also much more expensive then the turp.
In the end, I decided to continue to use the odorless turp when sketching out my painting and save the Lavender for the final details.
Information regarding the disposal of toxic chemicals in Warren can be found at the Sanitation Division 586-775-1400.

I started out to post a 'short' list of 5 points on which a Critical Appreciation of a work of Fine Art can be based. I thought that I should say a few words about what Fine Art is and after about an hour I realized that it would be months before I finished the thing that I was trying to say………So I deleted what I had written and put the words of Ted Lang, our beloved Website Master in mind. …"keep it short or nobody's going to read it."…..and I'm going to try to start over and do that. So………….
A long time ago, my Aesthetics Professor gave me this list and I would just like to pass it on. The points will be listed in an ascending order of importance with the lowest or 5th point first and the 1st or highest most significant criteria last.
5th. SKILL,TECHNIQUE
4th. CHOICE OF SUBJECT MATTER
3rd. FORMAL DESIGN
OK, there it is. Short (for those of you who want short), but for those who think that FORMAL refers to wearing a TUX or a FLOOR LENGTH GOWN it isn't going to be much help.
I'm going to talk about each one of the points a little so those of you who 'only' want short may be excused.
Now that they're gone… For the rest of you don't worry I'm still focusing on 'short'… if you want the full version there are books written on this stuff and you could spend a lot of time and money studying this stuff and even get degrees in it…… well here it goes…'short'……………
5th. SKILL, TECHNIQUE: that would be about judging or appreciating the Level of mastery of the methods, mediums, and physical abilities of the Artist.
It helps if you actually have some personal experience and knowledge of what it takes to use "ART" media masterfully in order to appreciate Art on this level.
Sad to say that most people, especially those who don't actually have any idea of what Fine Art is, never get past this level if they even get to it at all… that is as far as critical appreciation of Fine Art or even non-critical appreciation for that matter.
People tend to look at ART the same way that they look at the every-day world around them.
Realize that somebody who is looking at a painting and saying, "isn't this a pretty tree?",…is appreciating the natural aesthetics of an object (a tree which isn't even there) which has absolutely nothing to do with Fine Art… they are in fact "ART BLIND" and don't even know that they aren't appreciating the Genius of the Artist and in fact are appreciating something other than ART.
However If the notion that this isn't a tree and it is something that was created by an Artist does creep into their appreciation and they appreciate the human accomplishment they have moved into appreciating the Art and this consideration is a valid point on which to begin to make a value judgement.
4th. CHOICE OF SUBJECT MATTER: What is this exceptional idea that interests this mind that is manifesting in this Artwork? Fine Art aspires to manifest "the Beautiful" as to the highest aspects of humanity. For example, in a landscape painting, the artist isn't just trying to express that he saw some trees. The artist is trying to express and or communicate a feeling that was in his being during an experience. The fact of trees may be insignificant and the subject matter of the painting might more properly be identified as perceived grandeur or majesty. Beauty is a value judgement and what is valued is a significant aspect of the Character of the Genius being appreciated. This is not about natural aesthetics. This is an entirely separate branch of aesthetics dealing with the beauty coming into being through the manifestation of Human Genius.
3rd. FORMAL DESIGN: Art is both expressive and communicative and it does this through Form. Formal Empathy is very significant in the appreciation of Fine Art. Art is not just about WHAT it is; it's also about HOW it is what it is.
Form? Let's consider the elements of form in painting. Points, Lines, Shapes, Light to Dark Values, Colors, relative scale, movements, rhythms, textures and anything else you can come up with all can be composed into a work that can then be submitted for appreciation. All formal elements have abstract components that can be used to express and communicate. This can be complicated and hard to explain. The Book that I wrote "COMPOSITION and the ELEMENTS OF FORM" is an introduction to the subject. It takes about 3 hours to go through the material. so you see there isn't time to say too much about it here.(keep it 'short' stupid!)… but I will say "think of the Idea of communicating with COLOR." Happy colors… Warm colors… Sad colors… restful color combinations…. color is an element of form and communicating with it is a Formal Communication. Formal Design is about Formal Communication. It is just as significant in objective Art as it is in Abstract Art. In fact it can be argued that all Art is Abstract Art.
2nd. DEGREE AND QUALITY OF INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL CONTENT EXPRESSED: Remember that Aesthetics is about a value judgement. Beauty doesn't exist as an objective substance. THIS CAN GET COMPLICATED! It can be so subjective as to create irreconcilable disputes. Critical judgements regarding this aspect are related to personal value systems. It's hard to maintain a totally disinterested viewpoint when judging Intellectual and MORAL values… and the FIne Art Aesthetic viewpoint supposed to manifest from a disinterested mind-set. You can start to see a seeming contradiction between disinterested mind-set and value judgements. You might hear from a critic who agrees that something is 'ART' but calls it "degenerate art".
I just want to add that I believe that there is a lot of Intellectual and Moral degeneration going in in the world today… so it's no surprise to me that it would be reflected in what is passing itself off and being accepted as Fine Art.
1st. THE SUPREME UNITY OF FORMAL PROPERTIES AND EXPRESSED CONTENT: Do all of the Formal Elements work together perfectly in this exceptional manifestation of Creative Genius to communicate what the Artist is expressing? Whether the work may be addressing issues considered in themselves to be of questionable value, is there a Formal Communication that is working in perfect unity with the concepts being explored.
…… Hope this is clear enough to get some of you thinking about this " Fine Art Stuff".
Remember,there's nothing wrong with 'picture-making' and there have actually been many Fine Art works created by Artists who mistakenly believed that 'picture-making' was what they were doing…… but that's a topic for another day.
I'm very happy that I decided to "jump into" pastels. I'm truly enjoying my attempts and wish to thank all the nice people I've met in the Pastel Skills Class that have given me suggestions and help. I've attended the last 3 monthly meetings and once again I want to thank all that work hard to keep the WTCFA going. The guests at these meetings have been outstanding and entertaining.
For those of you who are unaware: Baby Oil is a better solution for getting paint off your skin, than Turpentine or Mineral Spirits. But, if you are sensitive to Petroleum Distillates as I am, you may want to wash your hands, after using. For as you may know, Baby Oil contains Petroleum Distillets as an ingredient. But in the long run, smells better and is kinder to your skin than Turps. Teresa
There will come a time when you need to create an excellent photograph of your completed artwork. Maybe you need to submit a digital image for entry in an art show. Or, you might want to capture your work onto a digital file in order to create a print.
Here are three suggestions based on the most common "mistakes" I see people making.
1. Use a tripod. This should be your "Gold Standard" when creating any image that you want to be more than just a casual snapshot. This is especially true when photographing artwork. And. it's even more important if you are using the automatic mode of your camera, because then your camera will decide which shutter speed to use. If it's a slow shutter speed, chances are you will not be able to hold your camera still enough to avoid some shake, thus getting blur in your final image. Again, always use a tripod.
2. Don't use the flash on your camera to photograph artwork – especially flat art like oils or acrylics. First, you will probably get a glare bounced right back to the lens – and in your final image. (Especially if the surface of your art is glossy.) If photographing indoors you will usually be better off using two lights, in reflectors, placed at 45 degree angles on either side of your artwork.
3. A good method is to photograph your artwork outdoors. But to do it correctly, consider these tips:
- Try to avoid bright sunlight. This is apt to give you contrasty, harsh shadows.
- Photograph on an overcast day or photograph in open shade. (An area that is protected from the sun, but still has enough light to give you a good exposure.) Watch that you are not in an area partly in shade and partly in sun, which can give you harsh, "mottled" areas of lighting on your subject.
Also, when photographing outdoors, be careful of what is in the background. While concentrating on other things, it is easy to overlook a background that is busy with distractions. Try to find a simple, solid background, such as a full evergreen tree for the background. Or, you can also use an "artificial" background, such as a solid tablecloth or a dark cloth. But, when doing this, be careful. Be sure the cloth does not have wrinkles which may show up in the final image if you can't crop them out.
There are other tricks to getting good photos of your artwork, but these are a few of the basics.

Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along!
The 2015 Downton Abbey Mystery Quilt Along Begins January 4th!
We're coming back with another mystery quilt especially for fans of Downton Abbey! And even if you're not a fan, you can still play along.
Last year's quilt along attracted nearly 3,300 participants from 50 US states, 9 Canadian provinces, and 24 additional countries around the world. We expect the excitement to continue with the next quilt along, and we hope you'll join us for this one!
What is a Mystery Quilt Along?
Well first, let's talk about what a quilt along is, and then I'll explain the mystery part. I've designed a new quilt based on Downton Abbey, and I think lots of people would love to have a quilt to remind them of the series they love. So I'm inviting you to join me in making the blocks for the quilt.
I'm known widely as a die-cutting quilter, but I know that most quilters are not. So this year, the patterns will be written for rotary cutting but include die cutting instructions for those who choose to cut that way. No matter how you plan to cut, all are welcome!
Now what makes this a Mystery Quilt Along is that you will only see the quilt one block at a time! So you won't know exactly what you're making until the very end. This is exciting for some, and fear-inspiring for others, but rest assured that many of my trusted advisors (as well as Andover) have seen the quilt designs in all three colorways, and everyone loves them.
When does the Mystery Quilt Along start?
You can sign up for updates now, and registration will begin in mid- to late-September. The actual Mystery Quilt Along begins on January 4th, once the Downton Abbey series airs in the US. Over the coming weeks and months, I'll be posting more details, the full schedule, and details on how to join the live Google/Twitter chats.
What does the quilt look like?
I can't tell you how many people ask this question, and I always say, "It's a mystery!!!" But I will tell you a few things about the quilt so you can start planning.
There are three colorways you can choose from: Team Cora, Team Rose, and Team Carson. The finished quilt is 72″ x 92″. There's not really a border on this quilt, but you're welcome to add one or more to make your quilt larger.
You'll need to pick your colorway when you sign up, and you won't be able to switch after the quilt along starts. You can certainly sign up to make more than one, but switching midway through is not an option.
Do I have to use the Downton Abbey fabric in my quilt?
It's your quilt. Do what you want! I just think it is really cool to have a Downton Abbey quilt made with Downton Abbey fabrics, don't you? Here's a link to the fabric requirements so you know how much you'll need.
How much does it cost?
There are a couple of cost components to keep in mind:
- The pattern fee. If you sign up by November 21, the cost is $18.95. Signups after that date go up to $23.95.
- Your fabric. I won't be providing quilt top kits this year, so you'll need to shop your local quilt shop or favorite online dealer for a kit. I'll have a list for you so you know what shops are participating.
- Shop fees. Some shops charge an additional program fee to participate in their events.
What does the pattern fee include?
- Digital patterns for the colorway you have selected, and non-expiring access to the files. (That means even if you sign up late, you'll have access to everything that's been revealed as of your signup date, and you'll be able to get back to them at any time.)
- Rotary and die cutting charts tailored to the quilt along.
- Block tutorials, videos, and other content to assist in the construction of the quilt.
- Access to a private forum where you may post photos, questions and comments during the quilt along if you need additional assistance and want to interact with other participants.
What if I've never seen Downton Abbey?
Well, we're not the television police, but personally I think you're missing out. I understand the urge though to keep NOT watching – why break your streak, right? After all, I'm still a holdout for Star Wars – haven't seen any of it, and I'm on a pretty good roll now. However, I do know who Hans Solo and Princess Leia are, I know the difference between an Ewok and a Wookie, and that James Earl Jones was Luke's father, whatever that means. All I'm saying is… if you're not gonna watch, then just soak up some details so you're not completely at a loss.
I still have more questions that you haven't answered yet!
We're still working on the details of the quilt along, and we'll update this page with information as it becomes available. For now, you can sign up for updates, and be among the first to hear about the mystery quilt! If you really have a burning question, just hang onto it until signups open.
If you're a shop owner who wants to participate, sign up here – there's a special list just for you!
