"Stay classy my friends~"
Digital painting using Photoshop for my Digital Imaging class. We needed to "practice" painting in Photoshop. Which I'd say I'm fairly proficient in already, BUT! It never hurts to practice some more. I certainly don't know everything and I'm always looking for new ways to do things. But yeah, nice lil vintage wet plate type photo-illustration. And I used a texture this time! I don't use them enough really.

Unbeknownst to the general public the Jubbles were far more organized than originally hypothesized. Not that anyone would find out…Just a small sketch on a piece of cardboard I had laying about from an amazon box. :3 Sat down and cut out the best piece of it then stared at it for a few minutes. And et voila my Chief of Communications Officer. I also somewhat figured out how to draw in isometric projection. Need more practice before I can say I've "mastered" it but the general process is there. I did a scan of this at Kinko's but the photo I took of it with my phone turned out better than it and shows off the textural quality of the cardboard which is beautiful. Enjoy!Tools Used:

Another success for EAA 292!! We did one of the best Young Eagles Saturdays ever. We flew 61 kids. This was with 7 pilots and a large ground crew. We need more pilots. Please consider joining us next June and flying some Young Eagles. We are having a positive effect on introducing aviation to young people. I realize that flying these events costs $50-$100 in fuel, but this is tax deductable as a donation and is simply an investment in aviation's future. Every time I do these flights a kid walks away with a big smile and I walk away feeling that I have done something positive.
2014 September Young Eagles
Young Eagles Rally September 13, 2014
EAA Chapter 292 held our 2nd Young Eagle Rally of 2014 on September 13th. It was a tremendous success since the weather cooperated and eight pilots flew 61 Young Eagles. Over one-third had flown before and were excited to fly again. Hopefully introducing them several times will help keep their interest in aviation.

P. J. Clarke's is a saloon, established 1884. It occupies a building located at 915 Third Avenue on the northeast corner of East 55th Street in Manhattan.[1]
The bar was once owned by a Patrick J. Clarke, an Irish emigrant who was hired in the early 1900s by a Mr. Duneen who ran the saloon. After about ten years working for him Clarke bought the bar and changed the name.
The building is a holdout and is surrounded by 919 Third Avenue, a 47-story skyscraper. Clarke's former owners, the Lavezzo brothers, signed a deal in which the building housing the saloon was sold for $1.5 million and a 99-year lease was signed with Tishman Realty and Construction.[2] However, due to financial reverses the Lavezzos were forced to sell their interest to a consortium, which includes George Steinbrenner, Timothy Hutton, and others. Prior to his arrest in 2008, Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff, whose offices were located near to the bar, was also an investor.
The building was originally a four-story structure. It lost the top two floors when the skyscraper went up in the late 1960s. On the second floor there is now a separate upstairs bar/restaurant called Sidecar, which offers a more formal dining experience.[citation needed]
Notable visitors[edit]
The bar has catered to a number of notables over the years:
- Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman announced their impending nuptials to an astonished crowd. (The marriage lasted less than two months.)[citation needed]
- Dick Clark, after ringing in the New Year with America, made P.J. Clarke's his traditional post-broadcast destination, where his first meal of the New Year was always a hamburger and a beer.[citation needed]
- Nat King Cole proclaimed in the late 1950s that his P.J. Clarke's bacon cheeseburger was "the Cadillac of burgers!"[3]
- Johnny Depp presented Keith Richards with a guitar as a gift after dinner with their wives at P.J. Clarke's upstairs dining room. Richards treated customers to an impromptu rendition of "Brown Sugar".[citation needed]
- Richard Harris, when asked about his favorite food, replied:
- I adore the hamburgers at P.J. Clarke's. In my drinking days, it was my first stop from the airport. A fellow named Vinny used to be the bartender there, and when I told him I wanted the usual, he lined up six double vodkas. I told an interviewer that once, and he said, "That's a lot of bull, that's one of your exaggerated stories!" I said, "Call a taxi." We walked into P. J. Clarke's, I said, "Vinny, my usual." And he lined up six double vodkas.[citation needed]
- Buddy Holly proposed to his fiancee, Maria Elena Santiago, at P.J. Clarke's on June 20, 1958. It was their first date. In honor of that, on April 29, 2011, Maria Elena Holly unveiled the never before seen "True Love Ways" photo of their wedding kiss, now displayed at P.J. Clarke's' above Table 53.[4]
- Ted Kennedy made P.J. Clarke's a regular stop and consoled himself there the day after his loss to Jimmy Carter in the Democratic primaries.[citation needed]
- Hedy Lamarr was known to stop by when in New York.[citation needed]
- Jake LaMotta is a P.J.'s regular and attended Esquire's 70th Anniversary party at P.J. Clarke's with his wife.[citation needed]
- Eugene Levy was known to stop by and test new jokes on P.J.'s bartenders.[citation needed]
- Liza Minnelli, a regular at the Third Avenue location, still holds a bar account and is known for her devotion to P.J.'s burger.[citation needed]
- Jackie Kennedy Onassis would bring John, Jr. and Caroline in during the early 1970s for lunch on Saturdays.[citation needed]
- Brooke Shields celebrated her daughter's baptism with a celebratory meal at P.J. Clarke's, just as her father had done with her.[citation needed]
- Frank Sinatra was an extremely generous tipper at P.J. Clarke's, and was considered the "owner" of Table 20. When he cruised New York bars, he would start out at Sardi's, but he would always end up at P.J. Clarke's.[citation needed]
In 2013, Zagats gave it a food rating of 18.[1]
In popular culture[edit]
In film[edit]
- Nat's Bar was based on P.J. Clarke's in the Ray Milland movie The Lost Weekend (1945), directed by Billy Wilder.[5] Charles R. Jackson, author of the novel on which that movie was based, was a regular at P. J. Clarke's.
- Popeye Doyle asks for a P.J. Clarke's hamburger whilst undergoing cold turkey in the film French Connection II (1975).
- The final scene of Woody Allen's Annie Hall (1977), Alvy and Annie's saying goodbye for the final time, was shot from the newer Lincoln Square location (SE corner of W. 63rd Street and Columbus Avenue), facing north from within the inside of the dining establishment that was at that location in the 1970s (O'Neill's).[citation needed]
- In the movie Coyote Ugly (2000), the P.J. Clarke's team played against the Coyote Ugly bartenders.
In music[edit]
- Kenny Chesney – the well known country music artist released a song on his album Welcome to the Fishbowl (2012), titled "To Get to You (55th and 3rd)," wherein he sings about "New York City, 55th and Third...." and love that was found "at a corner booth." Although P.J. Clarke's is not explicitly mentioned, it takes little to connect the dots on where this love song is referring.[citation needed]
- Dave Matthews Band wrote a song called "Stolen Away On 55th & 3rd", which was reportedly about a girl Matthews met years ago at P.J. Clarke's.
- Johnny Mercer penned "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" on a napkin while sitting at the bar at P.J. Clarke's. (The bartender at that time was named Tommy Joyce, and Mercer reportedly apologized to Joyce, saying "I couldn't get your name to rhyme".)[citation needed]
In print[edit]
- It was mentioned in the 1969 novel The Love Machine, by Jacqueline Susann.[citation needed]
In television[edit]
- In the AMC Television series Mad Men, the employees of the Sterling Cooper advertising agency frequent P.J. Clarke's.
In theater[edit]
( In Neil Simon's play Barefoot in the Park (1963), during the Act II, Scene 2 fight between Paul and Corie, Paul says, "Do you know . . . Do you know, in P.J. Clarke's last New Year's Eve, I punched an old woman? . . . Don't tell me about drunks."[citation needed]
In addition to the original P.J. Clarke's location at 915 Third Avenue on the northeast corner of East 55th Street in New York City, there are two more locations of P.J. Clarke's in Manhattan:
- P.J. Clarke's at Lincoln Square (44 W. 63rd Street) on the Upper West Side opened in 2007 across Columbus Avenue from Lincoln Center.
- P.J. Clarke's on the Hudson (250 Vesey Street at Four World Financial Center) opened in 2006 near Ground Zero.
As well, there are two restaurants of the same name, licensed from the original, in Chicago:
- P.J. Clarke's Gold Coast (1204 N. State Parkway, Chicago, IL 60610) opened in 1986 and serves their MinnieBurger http://www.pjclarkeschicago.com
- P.J. Clarke's Streeterville (302 E. Illinois Street, Chicago, IL 60611) opened in 2002 and served their MinnieBurger This location closed in October 2012 http://www.pjclarkeschicago.com
In early October 2010 P.J. Clarke's opened just two blocks North of the White House:
- P.J. Clarke's Washington DC (1600 K Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20006)
In early January 2011 P.J. Clarke's opened in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace:
- P.J. Clarke's Las Vegas (3500 Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109)
Its first location outside the U.S. opened on November 7, 2008, in São Paulo, Brazil. It's a partnership with local entrepreneur Maria Rita Pikielny Marracini.[6] There are currently two P.J. Clarke's in Brazil.[7]

By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin
What happens to real estate prices if new households don't form?
Jed Kolko, chief economist for Trulia, an online real estate listing site, says the prospects are "alarming."
Of course, it isn't just the prospects for pricing that are alarming. There's an undercurrent of concern about what a lack of household formation means for the larger economy as well.
Let's start at the top. In a normal year, roughly 1.1 million new households form. There are many reasons households form. Some are recent college graduates who move out on their own. Sometimes families split up, forming two households out of one. There are immigrants who move to this country who, after a period of time perhaps living with relatives, move out to their own home, sometimes purchasing real estate in as little as three to five years after moving to the U.S.
Since the recession, trends have changed. According to the latest Census figures, roughly 380,000 new households were formed in the last 12 months. And worse, the number of young adults living with their parents ticked up as well.
The latter trend is about young people not getting jobs, Kolko explained. "And even if they get jobs, they don't move out right away," he added. "You need to save up, to build up a cash cushion and the financial confidence to move out. You need to be able to pass a credit check and have the first and last month rent."
At this point in recovery, Kolko believes we should be seeing household formation back not only at normal levels but higher.
"All those young people who moved in with their parents over the past few years and didn't move out during the recession, there should be pent-up demand for household formation. Everyone was thinking once they move out, they will form lots of new households," Kolko added.
It's the worst sort of news for the new construction industry, which is still operating at about 50 percent of where it was during the height of the housing boom. Roughly 450,000 new homes are expected to be sold this year, compared with more than 800,000 in a more normal year.
Even if new household formation picks up, it will be awhile before hiring picks up in for new home construction because most of these individuals will rent before they buy. And if there are plenty of foreclosures, short sales, and vacant properties available to buy, it's possible that the construction industry won't get a boost for several more years.
It all comes back to young people and their employment prospects, which aren't great, Kolko said.
"The share of young people working (now) is almost as low as during recession. Wages aren't really rising. Student debt is up. Young people face tough circumstances today," he noted.
Unfortunately for the housing industry, those tough circumstances are turning into alarming trends that bear close watch.

Five weeks into the season, three of Mercer CountyÆs West Jersey Football League teams are still undefeated.Two of them Ś Hopewell Valley and Lawrence Ś hope to stay perfect tonight as Week 6 of the season kicks off with five games involving Colonial Valley Conference schools.
WJFL Valley Division-leading Hopewell Valley (4-0) returns from its bye week to host Notre Dame (3-2) in a 7 p.m. kickoff at HoValÆs new Ackerson Field to highlight the weekend schedule. The game will be broadcast by the WBCB Sports Network on WRRC ōThe Broncö (107.7 FM) following The Trentonian Pregame Show.
Lawrence (5-0), atop the WJFL Patriot Division, travels to Hightstown (1-4) hoping to get to 6-0 for the first time since 2006, when it opened with nine consecutive wins.
Also on tonightÆs schedule, Jay GraberÆs 3-3 Allentown Redbirds return home after tough road losses at Hopewell Valley and Trenton to host 3-2 Holy Cross in a 6 p.m. kickoff on Hall of Fame Night.
Ewing (2-3) goes for its third straight win as it visits 0-5 New Egypt, and West Windsor South (1-4) is home to host Burlington Township (3-1).
Burlington County action has Florence (3-1) at Delran (4-1) in the feature game; Maple Shade (1-4) at Bordentown (2-2); Clayton (3-1), averaging 32.7 points a game, is at Burlington City (2-2); and Cinnaminson (4-1) goes for its fifth straight win when it visits Palmyra (2-3).Hopewell Valley shocked the Irish last season with a 14-6 road win to hand Notre Dame its first loss after a 4-0 start. Chappy MooreÆs Irish hope to return the favor tonight and spoil the best start yet at HoVal.
ōFor them probably itÆs the biggest football game in their history and their second home game at night,ö Moore said. ōItÆs a big game for us. WeÆre excited. It should be an outstanding football game.ö
Even bigger because itÆs a meeting between the CVCÆs third-best rusher in the BulldogsÆ Andrew Yuska (62 rushes, 580 yards, nine touchdowns) and an Irish defense spearheaded by TD Club Defensive Player of the Week Jon Dimon, linebackers Alex Roman and Mike Milazzo, Shaemus Larkin and defensive back Lorenzo Bryant, who is also the teamÆs rushing leader with 450 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Junior linebacker Drew Wiley, defensive end Lane Meyer and defensive backs Pierce Jacobs and Ben Matheney are among a defensive unit that keeps improving for coach Dave Caldwell.
HoValÆs offense, led by quarterback Austin Fellows (37-for-73, 530 yards, seven touchdowns) and top receiver Mike Gies (15 receptions, 360 yards, five tocuhdowns), will be a major test for the Irish.
ōItÆs a tough test coming in,ö HV offensive coordinator Todd Smith said Tuesday. ōWhen you look at their team, you see all 11 guys on offense and defensive guys youÆd call true football players.
ōI think itÆs one of the biggest teams theyÆve had in quite some time size-wise. They are not just big, they come off the ball and play with intensity Ś the defensive line especially.ö
Allentown is thankful for playing at home, where it plays a impactful game.
ōAt 3-3, this is a must-win. Our backs are firmly against the wall,ö Graber said. ōWeÆre going to do whatever it takes to win. We need to win to get in the playoffs.
ōWe need a seat in the playoffs. I donÆt care if itÆs the kiddie high chair or whatever. As long as we get a seat at the table in the playoffs, thatÆs all that matters to me. Our backs are against the wall.ö
Hightstown has a huge challenge, as well, with Lawrence, especially after last weekÆs 17-14 loss at Steinert when quarterback Dustin Kollman accounted for more than 200 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.
Kollman, the TD Club Offensive Back of the Week, is nearing 3,000 passing yards for his career and is the RamsÆ rushing leader this year with 530 yards.
ōWeÆve re-tooled our entire offense around Dustin, and thatÆs because thatÆs the value he brings to Hightstown football,ö Rams coach Pete Brescia Jr. said.
Brescia called the loss at Steinert ōa wacky game, unbelievably wacky.ö
ōWe made tons of mistakes, tons and tons and tons of mistakes,ö he said. ōWhat I told the team after was that it was the first game of the season where we had 11 guys playing every down, and that was a refreshing change, very refreshing to see.
ōYou can live with the mistakes if in fact youÆre playing hard. We played hard.ö

It's no secret that the Chicago Cubs will trade Jeff Samardzija before the trade deadline that is now six weeks away. However, it appears the Cubs are ready to pull the trigger now to capitalize on Samardzija's hot start while also expanding the field of teams that could have interest since there are many teams still in the playoff hunt. On Sunday, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that the San Francisco Giants are showing "strong interest" in Samardzija and that the Yankees, Orioles, Angels, Red Sox and Blue Jays are also "in the picture". An addition of Samardzija by the Giants might mean a move to the bullpen for Tim Lincecum. In return for Samardzija, the Cubs are looking to add at least two top pitching prospects by doing this trade. The Cubs have their "Core Four" which consists of four position players in Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Jorge Soler, and Albert Almora. The Cubs must add some top pitching prospects by dealing Samardzija.
Johnny Cueto matched his career high with 12 strikeouts in six innings leading the Reds to a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Cueto also allowed only three hits without issuing a walk. Cueto has looked more human in recent weeks, but it's tough to argue with what he against the Dodgers. He is now the proud owner of a 1.85 ERA through 102 innings, which he'll take into next week's road start against the Padres. Cueto faced the minimum 15 batters through five innings after Dee Gordon singled but was picked off. He also fanned 10 Dodgers during that span, including five in a row while getting up to 90 pitches. His 109 strikeouts on the season are the best in the National League as of Wednesday night, as Cueto continues to be one of the fantasy surprises of 2014.

Reliever Dan Wheeler Declines Arbitration

Sports Fan Insider
BOSTON (CBS) – Reliever Dan Wheeler will decline salary arbitration from the Red Sox, according to the Providence Journal.
Wheeler, who made $3 million in 2011, went 2-2 with a 4.38 ERA in 47 appearances with Boston in 2011. He spent time on the DL to begin and end the season, but was able to put together some strong numbers in between. He posted an ERA of 1.80 from June to August, allowing just six runs in 30 innings pitched.
Read: Wakefield, Varitek Done With Sox?
The Red Sox had a team option on Wheeler, but declined to pick it up at the end of the season. If the right-handed reliever signs with another team, Boston would receive a draft pick as compensation.
The Red Sox also offered salary arbitration to DH David Ortiz, who is expected to accept the offer by Wednesday night's deadline.

The Internal Revenue Service could do a better job of reporting cost, schedule and scope information on its major IT investments, according to a Government Accountability Office report.
GAO auditors found significant cost and schedule variances in 13 of 19 major IT projects evaluated between June 2013 and April 2014. Eight of the 13 are listed as below cost or ahead of schedule, three as behind schedule, and two as over cost.
Being below cost and ahead of schedule appears to be good news, but the report points out that appropriators require accurate information about projected spending so they can allocate funds accordingly. The IRS received $2.4 billion in IT funding for fiscal 2014, according to the recently updated federal IT Dashboard. The Obama administration had requested $2.6 billion for IRS IT for 2015 -- about 20 percent of the agency's overall appropriation.
The GAO report recommends that the IRS' chief technology officer make quarterly reports to Congress on overall IT investment and schedules and monthly reports on schedule variances and changes in the scope of IT investments.
The report is especially critical of the IRS for not using a quantitative measure of scope, something GAO has suggested several times in the past.
GAO has long asserted that quantitative information on the functionality delivered by IT projects would go a long way toward answering the question of whether an agency is getting what it paid for. In the absence of such a measure, GAO advocates some kind of qualitative analysis of functionality to "help IRS provide Congress a complete picture of the agency's performance in managing its major investments."
In its reply comments, IRS officials indicated that they are providing information about the scope of IT projects in the mandatory Exhibit 300 filings with the Office of Management and Budget.
Although the accounting dispute might be somewhat obscure, the underlying projects are not. The IRS is in the midst of several high-profile, long-term, high-dollar IT projects to improve electronic tax filing, prepare the systems to manage subsidy calculations and penalties under the 2010 health care law, and modernize its central taxpayer database and processing system.
The success or failure of those projects will affect the government's ability to collect taxes and distribute refunds efficiently and accurately.

This NPR piece from earlier this year advocates for a play-based Early Childhood education, which Green Meadow offers.
This piece from Huffington Post reminds us of the importance of protecting our children from media exposure, according to their developmental stage.
This article from The New York Times looks at what makes a successful school.
Don't miss the puppet and marionette shows this Saturday, October 11, at our Fall Fair. Here is some background on marionette theater and its role in Waldorf Education, from our Early Childhood Chairs:
Are students losing their ability to self-regulate? Is "self-regulation" another word for obedience? What about the debate on willpower and that hard-to-define concept du jour, "grit"? This piece on the "academic diligence task" raises complex questions.
Have you taken a look at the Community Education Series brochure? We have great speakers, classes, and workshops coming up! Most events are free and open to the public: invite friends and family!
Let's remember the importance of unstructured play time for our children, all summer long.
A great quote:
"Free play allows children to develop the flexibility needed to adapt to changing circumstances and environments—an ability that comes in very handy when life becomes unpredictable as an adult."

GRACEVILLE (BCF)—The Baptist College of Florida in Graceville has been approved to provide college courses through electronic delivery since 1999. But according to BCF President Thomas A. Kinchen, the college received a tremendous boost in its efforts from a recent letter received from its primary accreditation agency.
In the letter dated Jan. 22, the president of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools noted BCF has approval to move forward with offering all of its courses and degree programs online.
"This is a watershed moment for us," Kinchen said. "We can now offer online delivery for courses in all of our degree programs as well as entire degree programs online. We have been working toward this for over fourteen years, and I am absolutely delighted with this approval."
The newly approved program means that a greater number of students will be able to pursue fully accredited education without relocating from their homes and places of service.
"We want all of our programs to be 'ministry friendly' so that students can serve while learning and learn while serving," Kinchen said. Accordingly, the recently approved Master of Arts in Christian Studies and Master of Arts in Music and Worship Leadership each have major components that are completed online. Once approval is received from the Florida Department of Education, the college is prepared immediately to begin the new online programming.
If completing a degree or taking classes online from the comfort of home or current ministry location is appealing, please contact BCF at 850-263-3261, ext. 460, or access the website at baptistcollege.edu and request more information.

The post Berkshires Ghost Tours at Edith Wharton's The Mount appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
The Mount, was designed by Edith Wharton in 1902 as her home and writer's retreat and is now both a historic site and the only monument to Edith Wharton in the United States.
Beyond historically significant exhibits and events available to the public year 'round at The Mount, October brings out the spooky in this otherwise stately cultural venue in the form of, among other Halloween events, Ghost Tours! Given Wharton's own history with the paranormal, it's an appropriate offering.
Edith Wharton didn't only pen the occasional ghost story, she was also troubled by the supernatural, stating that she was "haunted by formless horrors" and once described feeling "some dark undefinable menace … I could feel it behind me, upon me; and if there was any delay in the opening of the door I was seized by a choking agony of terror."
Sold by the Wharton's in 1911, The Mount became part of Foxhollow School for Girls in 1942. During this time, residents reported hearing unexplained noises and odd sensations in the old, Wharton servant and family quarters. Similarly, when Shakespeare & Co. used The Mount as both dormitory and theater in the late 70′s, numerous people reported odd noises and visions of figures in old-fashioned clothing!
Now's your chance to find out find out if Edith Wharton's old home is still inhabited by otherworldly beasties – with a Berkshires ghost tour of The Mount!
Visit The Mount for a special evening ghost tour this October and see for yourself if the paranormal activity others have reported in the servants' quarters, stables, and formal rooms register for you. Ghost Tours at The Mount are available throughout October:
Fridays, 5:45pm or 7pm
Saturday, October 25, 5:45pm or 7pm
Halloween, 10pm

The post Berkshires Fall Foliage Events, 2014 appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
While many parts of the country begin to wind down once summer passes, the Berkshires heat up (so to speak) with a variety of events including things like down-home harvest festivals and parades, special concerts, parties, tours, and more. We attribute this activity to the way the changing of the seasons invigorates us with its natural beauty expressed everywhere you look in greens and golds, browns and reds, oranges and tans – Berkshires Fall Foliage: so incredibly lovely.
Like the natural beauty of the Berkshires fall foliage, autumn events can be found throughout the region including Stockbridge, Great Barrington, West Williamstown, North Adams, Hancock, Pittsfield, Lenox, and, of course, our own hometown of Lee. Many of these celebrations occur in September and have already passed but plenty more occur in October, including:
The 59th Annual Northern Berkshire Fall Foliage Parade – North Adams
Sunday, October 5, 2014
A popular tradition in North Adams, this year's Northern Berkshire Fall Foliage Parade theme celebrates the "100th Anniversary of the Mohawk Trail."

The post Edward Hopper at the Norman Rockwell Museum appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
Edward Hopper's realist paintings are touchstones of the American twentieth century. His images have become an integral part of the very grain of the American experience, and his work continues to reflect and express classic American scenes and sensibilities. How ironic is it, then, that his career as illustrator, which came after his first, one-person exhibition of paintings in 1920, is largely ignored and glossed over?
The Unknown Hopper: Edward Hopper as Illustrator, on display at the Norman Rockwell Museum through October 26, 2014, is an exhibit that presents both a unique and comprehensive study of the twenty-year-long yet little-known career of this iconic American realist master as an illustrator.
Hopper found little support for his paintings during the years of 1906 to 1925. He was forced to earn his living, instead, by working as an illustrator, creating covers and story illustrations for magazines. While Hopper never publicly reflected on his illustrating career – or much else; he was exceedingly private – much of the work from this period still exist both as proofs and in the resulting printed forms.
Despite Edward Hopper's own belief that an artist's development can be traced from the efforts of his formative years, very little focus has ever been given to the illustrations the artist created for big name magazines such as Scribner's, Country Gentleman, and Everybody's – not to mention for specialty publications like The Morse Dial, and Wells Fargo Messenger – until now!
The Norman Rockwell Museum contains the world's largest collection of original Norman Rockwell art, offering visitors an opportunity to experience Rockwell's art, life, and legacy, as well as exhibits of other, related artist's works, such as Edward Hopper's illustrations, here in the artist's New England hometown of Stockbridge.

The post The Berkshires Clark Art Institute appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
The Clark Art Institute's collection includes a broad array of pieces, from European and American paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, photographs, and decorative arts that range from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century – and it was begun in the early 1900′s by entrepreneur, soldier, explorer Robert Sterling Clark, and his wife, Francine.
With a fortune inherited from his grandfather, a principal in the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Clark began collecting fine art in 1911. Shortly thereafter he married Francine and the two of them grew the collection as a team. A private collection, the Clarks rarely loaned out works for exhibition but, by the 1940s with its growing turmoil, they began to worry about keeping it in New York city – wouldn't a more rural location be less of a potential war target?
Williamstown, Massachusetts looked a promising place and it was here that the Clarks decided to settle: in 1955 the Clark Art Institute opened its doors and helped cement The Berkshires cultural reputation.
The collection at the Clark Art Institute has grown over the years, through gifts and acquisitions, and is strong with French Impressionist and Academic paintings, British oil sketches, drawings, and silver, and the work of American artists Winslow Homer, George Inness, and John Singer Sargent – but it's not just the art that attracts visitors.
The 140 acre Clark Art Institute campus compliments its verdant outdoor vistas with distinct yet subtle architectural features, such as the three-tiered, one-acre reflecting pool with patio where visitors can picnic. Guests are also encouraged to use the Clark Art Institute's acreage as a public park for hiking, cross-country skiing, or just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful, Berkshires scenery.

The post Visit Mount Lebanon Shaker Village appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
The Mount Lebanon Shaker Village was founded in 1787 and remained the single largest communal society in America for 160 years, with over 6,000 acres and 100 buildings. It was here that the now famous Shaker ideals of gender, labor, and race equality, communal property, pacifism, and the Shaker aesthetic were fully developed.
As the Shaker community in Mount Lebanon declined in population, largely due to its policy of celibacy, portions of their property holdings were gradually sold off. The section of the Mount Lebanon Shaker Village known as the North Family was purchased by the Shaker Museum and Library in 2004.
The Mount Lebanon Shaker Village Museum and Library has a broad collection of Shaker artifacts that represent over 200 years of Shaker history. More than 80 percent of the Museum's collection came directly from Shaker communities and represent virtually every facet of Shaker life.
The collection at Mount Lebanon Shaker Village includes beautiful examples of Shaker machinery, household furnishings, textiles, baskets, boxes and woodenware, stoves, woodworking tools, clocks, architecture, agricultural and medical equipment, and more. The Shaker Library at Mount Lebanon Shaker Village contains an uncommon wealth of books and manuscripts documenting the lives of Shakers.
Mount Lebanon Shaker Village consists of 10 buildings on 30 acres, including the remains of the iconic Great Stone Barn. 50 feet wide, four stories high, and nearly 200 feet long, this incredible stone structure was totally gutted by fire in the 70′s, leaving only the masonry walls standing, yet it remains a testament to the ingenuity of this unique community.

The post Chesterfest – The New Americana Music Festival 2014 appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
When people hear "Americana" attached to a music festival, the first thing that leaps to their minds is folk or bluegrass: banjos, fiddles, and a wash-tub bass performing old-timey tunes. While Chesterfest certainly has no injunction against said instruments or forms, the key term in the title is "new" and the acts on the festival roster reflect just what Americana can be: contemporary folk, alternative country, rockabilly, garage, punk, and psych-folk.
The 2014 Chesterfest Concert Schedule:
July 11 – Mikey Sweet / The Picky Bastards
July 18 – Emily Mure / The Pistolwhips
July 25 – Niall Connolly / The Junk Rumblers
August 1 – Jeb Barry / Doug Tuttle
August 8 – Moot Davis (both sets)
August 15 – Bruce Mandel / The Frontmen
August 22 – Liz and Jim Beloff / The Rambling Kind
August 29 – Alex Smith / TBA
The Chesterfest concerts are scheduled for Friday evenings, rain or shine, with solo artists going on stage at 6:30pm, followed by the bands at 7:30pm. Doors to the grounds of Chesterwood will open at 6pm, giving audience members a chance to stake out their spot on the lawn before the show begins. Lawn chairs and blankets are encouraged and a free glass of the Berkshires own Wandering Star Craft Brewery beer is included with every adult admission ticket to further help you settle in for the show. Other snacks and beverages – including more beer – will be available for purchase during the shows.
Chesterwood is the 122 acre, country estate of Daniel Chester French (1850-1931), sculptor of the Minute Man and the Abraham Lincoln inside the Lincoln Memorial, among many other works. Located in Glendale, MA Chesterwood is a National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The post Step Back in Time at the Bidwell House Museum appeared first on Applegate Inn.]]>
An elegant example of a Georgian saltbox style construction, The Bidwell House was originally built in the mid 1700′s as a parsonage by the Reverend Adonijah Bidwell (1716-1784) and a visit here tells the story of the early settlement of the Berkshires.
Bidwell House was restored to it's late 1700′s condition thanks to the hard work of two fashion designers from New York: Jack Hargis and David Brush. Purchasing the then decrepit house in 1960, they began the painstaking work of restoring it, assisted by the fortuitous discovery of an inventory of the Bidwell's possessions at the time of his death.
Sitting on 192 acres, including the property's original 60 acre plot, the Bidwell House Museum seems to be in the middle of nowhere. At the time of its construction, however, it was in the thick of things, located as it was near the busy intersection of Boston-Albany Post Road on Royal Hemlock Road, which connected the two settlements of Township No. 1.
Bidwell House Museum opened its doors in 1990, furnished with authentic 18th and early 19th century antiques and surrounded by terraced stone walls, lush varied gardens, and trails leading the way to historical landmarks and through woodlands on the property.
The Bidwell House Museum gardens include beds of bright perennials, an heirloom herb garden, and a Heritage Vegetable Garden representing the variety of vegetables found in a colonial gardens and 19th century Shaker style gardening. Remnants of an old orchard can also be seen on the acreage.
Located in Monterey, Masachusettes, The Bidwell House Museum is open for hour-long, guided tours Thursday through Monday, 11am to 4pm. The grounds surrounding Bidwell House Museum are open daily from dawn until dusk for hiking and nature watching. Please visit bidwellhousemuseum.org for more information.

Dressy relaxed look.

LOVING this blazer.
Loving the coordination.
The preppy motorcycle jacket. Just the school letters short of making high school jackets that much better.
How to wear a pashmina scarf and make it look damn good.
Loving that buckle detail on the top of the collar.

The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veteransby Aaron Glantz
"Throughout The War Comes Home, one glimpses the possibility that all of this has been a mistake, an oversight, something we're catching up with...finally. But for too many it is too late, and there are too many trails leading back to cynical beginnings, such as Bush Undersecretary of Defense David Chu's claim that veteran care is 'hurtful' and '(takes) away from the nation's ability to defend itself.'" Joel Turnipseed, The Virginia Quarterly Review (read the entire Virginia Quarterly Review review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The War Comes Home is the first book to systematically document the U.S. government's neglect of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Aaron Glantz, who reported extensively from Iraq during the first three years of this war and has been reporting on the plight of veterans ever since, levels a devastating indictment against the Bush administration for its bald neglect of soldiers and its disingenuous reneging on their benefits. Glantz interviewed more than one hundred recent war veterans, and here he intersperses their haunting first-person accounts with investigations into specific concerns, such as the scandal at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
This timely book does more than provide us with a personal connection to those whose service has cost them so dearly. It compels us to confront how America treats its veterans and to consider what kind of nation deifies its soldiers and then casts them off as damaged goods.
"This expos of the treatment meted out to American veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan is a breathtaking rebuke to government hypocrisy and an overdue contribution to gaining critical public awareness of this official neglect. Glantz (How America Lost Iraq), who covered the American occupation of Iraq, offers a thorough account of the plight U.S. vets face back home — from the understaffed Veterans Administration perversely geared to saving money at the expense of vets in dire need of help, to concomitant medical and social ills, including undiagnosed brain injuries and the too frequent perils of homelessness, crime and suicide. There is also grassroots resistance and mutual aid, including the eventual passage of the post 9/11 GI Bill of Rights in May 2008, fiercely opposed by the Bush administration and the Republican Congress (including John McCain). Glantz fleshes out his narrative with the voices and powerful stories of vets, their families and advocates, while helpfully including a host of resources and services for veterans. Glantz also places their experience in a longer, dismal history of government neglect, while backing up his assertion that 'the Bush administration has never been seriously interested in helping veterans' with damning evidence." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A must-read for those who claim to support our troops." Robert G. Gard, Lt. General, U.S. Army (ret.)
"Aaron Glantz is one of the truly outstanding young journalists of our times." Bob McChesney, author of Rich Media, Poor Democracy, and founder of Free Press
Aaron Glantz is in our face on the military treatment facilities, the VA, and civilian society at large." Jonathan Shay, MD, PhD, author of Achilles in Vietnam and Odysseus in America. MacArthur Fellow
"One of the many scandals of the war in Iraq is how the administration has betrayed our returning servicemen. I'm grateful that the facts surrounding these tragedies are finally being exposed."—Paul Haggis, Academy-Award-winning director of Crash and In the Valley of Elah, screenwriter of Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima
"A must-read for those who claim to support our troops."—Robert G. Gard, Lt. General, U.S. Army (ret.)
The treatment by the Bush Administration of America's returning veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is one of the saddest chapters in American history. This story is painfully documented by Aaron Glantz. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to make the phrase, 'Support the Troops,' more than a slogan."—Former US Senator Max Cleland
"A fitting tribute to what these men and women fought and risked their lives and well-being for."—Gerald Nicosia, author of Home to War
"This superbly documented and eloquent book is a clarion call for honesty, compassion, outrage, and an end to the lies that cause so much suffering in far-off countries and in our own nation."—Norman Solomon, author of War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death
"Aaron Glantz draws on his eyewitness experiences of reporting in Iraq to bring the courage and the suffering of our troops into vivid relief. The War Comes Home exposes how physical and mental injuries plague our returning servicemen and what we can do about it."—Linda Bilmes, coauthor of The Three Trillion Dollar War
"Weep, America, cringe, America. We talk a good game about honoring all those who go into harm's way for our sake and caring for those who get physically and psychologically broken, but do we go beyond fine words and a few gold-plated flagship medical facilities? Are we walking the walk? Are we getting it right? Aaron Glantz is in our face on the military treatment facilities, the VA, and civilian society at large."—Jonathan Shay, MD, PhD, author of Achilles in Vietnam and Odysseus in America. MacArthur Fellow
"Aaron Glantz reports on the human cost of war, what it does physically and emotionally to those young men and women who carry out industrial slaughter. He rips apart the myths we tell ourselves about war and illustrates, in painful detail, the dark psychological holes that those who have been through war's trauma endure and will always endure. He reminds us that the essence of war is not glory, heroism, and honor but death."—Chris Hedges, former New York Times foreign correspondent, author of War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning
"We should all be reading people like Greg Palast and Aaron Glantz."—Al Kennedy, The Guardian (UK)

Fall at Yale
Y'all, today the weather finally turned cold cold cold (it snowed a bit this morning). The arrival of winter weather basically marks the end of my final fall at Yale.
If you can ever visit Yale, visit in the fall. I've visited Versailles in the summer and D.C. when the cherry blossoms are blooming. I've seen New York City at Christmastime and the windswept Irish countryside in July. But I've never seen anywhere as beautiful as Yale in the fall.
So as fall fades into winter, I wanted to share with you the splendor of Yale in fall. I hope the brilliant colors of this campus brighten your day today just as much as they brighten mine every day.
Lots of love!
Southern Belle at Yale

There were three women wishing to be heard
who found a little spot in cyberspace.
Virginia helped them name it Woman-Stirred.
Go look, you'll see Virginia's words and face.
You may decide to take a little scroll.
There's Jan of Oakland, England Nicki, me
the Mary nomad, munching on a bowl
of fruit and growing flowers literary.
A network, forum, showcase of our voices,
resources, journals, photographs, and art.
You want to know if lesbians have choices?
There's Sudie, Merry, Charlotte, Julie—start
of list that isn't finished—Lillian—
a new refreshing light on lesbian.
We were a queer quartet at first, but then
Liann, it seems, had novel things to do.
(Please note, Liann, that I'll be stirred again
to lift my pen to praise your books and you.)
Are flowers three enough for a bouquet?
Would Woman-Stirred be fuller with another?
From Washington, DC, she rose to say
she loves our place. So here is Julie Enszer!
A lesbian supreme, a poet, and
the queen of raising funds; a playful mind,
a tender heart; she always takes a stand
for justice, peace, the best of humankind.
May Woman-Stirred be worthy of your presence!
We're glad you're here! Okay, unwrap your presents!

"In art, as in any profession, knowledge is power . . . I must know the geology. I must know the rocks and the trees and the atmosphere and the mountain torrents and the birds that fly in the blue ether above me." — Thomas Moran
Hansa yellow, alizarin crimson, yellow ochre, indanthrone blue, carbazole violet: join us for a weekend of art in the North Cascades during the glorious ripening of fall colors! Painters of all levels are welcome to learn techniques for painting our local flora and fauna, including pencil and watercolor sketches, using photographs and plein air and studio painting methods.
Seattle-based artist Molly Hashimoto will teach us how to sketch and paint ferns, firs, larches and pines. We'll also learn methods for drawing and painting bugs, birds and mammals, taking advantage of the wonderful collection of specimens at the Environmental Learning Center. We'll gather inspiration by exploring the Diablo Lake neighborhood and taking an extended field trip to Washington Pass. Here, beneath the Golden Horn Batholith's granite, we'll take a short hike where we can view and paint the glowing larch trees.
When you're not painting, soak up the autumnal ambiance of the mountains in view of Pyramid and Colonial Peaks, dine on healthful, organic, delicious meals prepared in our lakeside dining hall and rest in comfort at night in our guest lodges.
