From author Latrivia S. Nelson, author of the epic romance Ivy's Twisted Vine, comes a story about Memphis, TN, a deadly faction of the Russian mafia and an innocent woman who dismantles an empire. Orphaned virgin Royal Stone is looking for employment in one of the country's toughest recessions. What she finds is the seven-foot, blonde millionaire Dmitry Medlov, who offers her a job as the manager of his new boutique Dmitry's Closet. After she accepts his job offer, she soon accepts his gifts, his bed and his lifestyle. What she does not know is that her knight in shining armor is also the head of the Medlov Organized Crime Family, a faction of the elite Russian mafia Vory v Zakone. Falling in love with the clueless Royal makes Dmitry want to break the code, leave his empire and start a life far away from the perils of the Thieves-in-Law. Only, his brother Ivan comes to the Memphis from New York City bent on a murderous revenge. With the FBI and Memphis Police Department working hard to build a case against Dmitry and his brother trying to kill him, he is forced to tell Royal of his true identity, but Royal also is keeping a secret - one that changes everything. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will die? Watch all the skeletons as they tumble out of the urban literature sensation Dmitry's Closet.

Reviewed by Tangie ReynoldsRating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Date Added: Thursday 04 February, 2010This was such a cool book. I enjoyed how the characters really came across as geniune as Nelson style always does. Fans like me waited a long time to get a second installation. I was not at all disappointed. This one is cheaper and smaller. Plus, it has even more of the love, sex, drama and violence that I love.

A 9-year-old male presented to our dermatology clinic with a recent history of developing numerous cutaneous pilomatricomas, and was subsequently discovered to have sustained a recurrence of his glioblastoma multiforme. Immunohistochemical staining of a representative pilomatricoma and his original brain tumor revealed upregulation and nuclear localization of beta-catenin, a sign associated with poor prognosis in glioblastoma. We hypothesize that the development of multiple pilomatricomas may have been a hallmark of this patient's tumor recurrence and provide support for a recent report of an association between multiple pilomatricomas and gliomatosis cerebri.

Following last week's announcement of a zero-day vulnerability for PowerPoint (CVE-2014-4114), we suspected it would not be too long before we saw this attack being used via email attachments. So when this email with a PowerPoint attachment appeared in our spam traps, it kinda stuck out, as we don't typically see a lot of PowerPoint attachments.
A quick look at the unpack tree from our Secure Email Gateway showed the presence of a couple of OLEObject bin files. Hmm, definitely worth a look.

Firefighters in Pittsburg have been training to rescue people who may become engulfed in grain at storage facilities.
The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that the practice was conducted in the Kansas Fire and Rescue Training Institute's mobile trailer, which can simulate rescues of people trapped in grain bins.
Pittsburg Fire Battalion Chief Jeff Kavanagh says he hopes firefighters never have to respond to that situation.
In February 2011, an Erie man got his leg caught in the operating auger of a grain storage building in Walnut. It took a rescue team of firefighters several hours to get the injured man out of the bin.

Based in Helsinki, Finland, Nexstim develops and markets Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) Systems for use in diagnostics and pre-surgical mapping. In 2012, Nexstim launched a novel NBT device for the treatment of brain injury and disease using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) guided by a patient's own MRI scan. While initial results show great promise in helping stroke patients regain lost motor control, the NBT System also enables personalized non-drug treatment for people suffering from major depressive disorder (clinical depression). The NBT System and therapeutic use for stroke and depression are not cleared indications in the US.
The NBT System meets the requirements of the European Medical Devices Directive (MDD) and has been CE marked accordingly. Nexstim's non-invasive NBT System is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration for therapy in commercial use in the United States and is available to select physicians for investigational use only.
"Building a strategic partnership with a CRO with proven global expertise managing regulatory submissions andapprovals is critical to the success of our US-based trial," noted Rainer Harjunpää, Vice President, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. "Clinipace brings the right balance of regulatory and strategic development experience, working with global regulatory agencies to ensure we are compliant based on regional standards of care, standards of diagnosis, and other factors such as global marketing approval processes."
"Clearly, new treatments such as Nexstim's NBT System are urgently needed; however, the development of novel therapies has been traditionally hindered by challenges in conducting clinical research," commented Jeff Williams, CEO, Clinipace Worldwide. "Our TEMPOTM eClinical platform helps investigators make faster, better informed decisions. This technology-amplified approach to clinical research helps clients like Nexstim speed and facilitates start-up of study sites, patient accrual, clinical monitoring, site management, all the way through study close-out."

Jar Top? No Problem!
This gripper is excellent. It is very easy to use. I bought it for a friend that has trouble opening jar tops from time to time. She does not have a strong grip. I sent her this and after some fun getting it out of its bubble case, she is delighted. She enjoyed it so much, she purchased one for her mother.I recommend this product.
Simply AWESOME!
I have used my Gripper Jar opener for quite awhile and have found my arthristis issues resolved. I purchased additional grippers for Christmas gifts.They are a BIG hit. Whether you have challenges or not, this item is a must have for any pantry/kitchen. It illiminates the need to tap, bang, or use hot water on jar or bottle lids! The biggest plus is the virsitality of size for jars/lids. Simply AWESOME! I highly recommend this product to anyone considering a jar/bottle opener (and to those who haven't thought of it!) You won't be disappointed.I recommend this product.
Ease of use
Of course I realize that not having a chance to use it yet, I have made some assumptions in my review. BUT I have bought many jar openers in the past and none have worked well for me. At 72 years of age my strength is not what it used to be, and I have small hands which have made it impossible to use them on openers with wide grips. I have high hopes for this item.I recommend this product.

Works well, but ...
This jar opener securely holds almost any lid size and the handle is sturdy and long enough to have leverage to turn without too much effort to loosen the lid. However, one has to have enough strength in the other hand to hold the jar securely.I recommend this product.

not positive yet.
i think that the plastic might be somewhat flimsy. not positive it might not snap while using. i think maybe something more solid feeling in my hand would give me a better feeling. go to store and compare ones that give you that feeling it might not break while in use. i answered the 2 questions yes above cause they made me but and because it has not broken in use yetI recommend this product.

I accidently bought this item. It was listed with the CAN openers and looked similar to one I wanted so I bought it.
Turns out I am keeping it because it does a great job with lids I hadn't been concerned about until now.
I use canning jar lids to reseal a lot of things. I keep old canning jars and use them in place of plastic containers. Once in awhile I will find something hidden way back in the back of the fridge and by then the lid is tightly sealed and almost impossible to remove. (peanut butter keeps for months!!)
This gripper does a great job removing those tightly sealed items! I have way less trouble with the lids now and hadn't known I needed the help!! ;DI recommend this product.

roll over Albany 3-0
ALBANY, N.Y. - Binghamton (8-6-1, 2-3-1 AE) received a pair of goals from senior striker Tracy Kasmarcik (Binghamton, N.Y./Susquehanna Valley) and blanked host Albany (1-14-1, 0-6 AE) 3-0 in an America East women's soccer match Sunday afternoon. The Bearcats have never lost to their SUNY rivals, owning a 12-0-1 record in the all-time series, which dates back to 1986.
"It was a good win - a win we needed," head coach Jeff Leightman said. "We also got a chance to play everybody, and rest our starters a bit."
Kasmarcik opened the scoring with just 7:12 elapsed, dribbling past a pair of Great Dane defenders before beating the keeper. The tally snapped a long dry spell for the first team all-conference forward, who hadn't scored in a 10-game stretch dating back to September 7.
Then with 4:23 gone in the second half, Kasmarcik struck again, this time taking a pass from freshman linemate Danielle White (Haddon Township, N.J.), outracing the keeper to the ball, and tapping it into the open net for a 2-0 Binghamton lead. Junior midfielder Caitlin O'Shaughnessy (Stony Point, N.Y./North Rockland) closed out the scoring in the 64th minute, finishing a far-post run by knocking home a cross from freshman Kelly Burnham (Endicott, N.Y./Union-Endicott).
The Bearcats outshot Albany 20-3.
Freshmen keepers Kristie Bowers (Rochester, N.Y./Greece Olympia) and Kristy Doerner (Shoreham, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River) split time in goal and shared the shutout.
Binghamton hosts UMBC in a crucial conference game Thursday at 3 p.m. With three America East games remaining, the Bearcats continue to battle for for a top-six position and berth in the conference tournament.

Phoenix Coyotes' Lauri Korpikoski signs with TPS
The Phoenix Coyotes have lost another player to the NHL lockout.
According to NBCSports.com, left winger Lauri Korpikoski has signed with TPS Turku in his native Finland.
He played with them in 2005-2006 before debuting with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the AHL.
Korpikoski was a key component of the Coyotes' offensive attack last season. He scored 17 goals and compiled 37 points in 82 games.
While Korpikoski was under contract with Phoenix for the 2012-2013 season, he will reportedly spend the entire season with TPS if their isn't a CBA agreement by the end of the Finnish SM-liiga's break in November.
The 26-year-old has 102 points in 300 career games.

Tracking the effects of childhood stress
Why do mistreated children so often demonstrate antisocial or aggressive behavior later in life? Alexa Veenema, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College, looks for answers at the molecular level, in the chemicals that help the brain regulate social behavior.
As Veenema wrote in a 2009 article in the journal Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, many studies have established a link in humans between "early social deprivation or trauma" (physical abuse, for instance, or the loss of a parent) and a heightened incidence of "conduct disorders, personality disorders, major depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders." A core symptom of most, if not all, of those afflictions is aggression, she notes.
To study the neurobiological connection between early-life stress and later aggression, Veenema uses a method common in her field—subjecting newborn male rats to a pattern of "maternal separation." For the first 14 days of their lives, the infant rats are kept from their mothers for three hours a day. In various experiments, Veenema and her colleagues have found that newborn rats that experience this deprivation go on to exhibit abnormally aggressive behavior—biting and nape attacks—as adults. The results have led Veenema to suppose that increased aggression is tied to changes in how the rats' brains process social information. But when do such changes occur—and how?
In a study published last year in Psychoneuroendocrinology, Veenema and a team of four colleagues set out to determine the extent to which previously separated rats are able to distinguish between rats that are strangers and rats they've encountered before, as compared with a control group. Testing both juveniles and adults, she introduced a known and an unknown rat into each subject's cage, then timed the identification process—accomplished by rats, as by dogs, through sniffing. The expectation was that familiarization would occur more quickly with prior acquaintances. The results showed that juvenile separated rats performed similarly to the control group; the adult separated rats, however, had more difficulty recognizing acquaintances. Veenema's conclusion: "Certain behavioral effects of early-life stress" may only emerge "later in life."
"Now it becomes very interesting for us," Veenema says, recounting the experiment in her McGuinn Hall office. Studies show that a small protein or neuropeptide called vasopressin, which is synthesized and released in the brains of rats and humans, plays a key role in regulating emotional and social behavior. Veenema set out to monitor vasopressin levels in separated and control rats, tracking changes that occurred as the rats underwent her identification test over time.
By inserting a tiny microdialysis probe—a monitoring device that simulates a capillary—into the rats' brains, Veenema and her colleagues were able to track (and alter) the amounts of vasopressin present. They found that among five-week-old, prepubescent juveniles—whether in the separated or control group—the levels of the protein were similar. Among 16-week-old adult separated rats, however, the levels were depressed. When Veenema gave rats in this group an injection of vasopressin via the probe, their social discrimination skills surfaced, for the moment, intact.
Veenema is now investigating the different effects of vasopressin, and of another neuropeptide called oxytocin, with regard to gender. Manipulating vasopressin levels can produce opposite effects in male and female rats, and oxytocin is known to play an important role in social development in female brains. Veenema says these chemicals may relate to the well-documented differences in the incidence of certain psychiatric disorders reported between males and females. "Autism is a good example," she says, "where boys have a four times higher chance of developing autism than girls do."
In early 2011, Veenema, who joined the Boston College psychology department last fall, was awarded a Young Investigator Award from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (formerly the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression). She says she and the five members of her laboratory will use the two-year, $60,000 grant to investigate the role of vasopressin and oxytocin in regulating juvenile behavior in male and female rats, as a way of furthering their understanding of "possible mechanisms" underlying the sex-bias in human psychiatric disorders.

Everyone at Niakwa was amazing! Sue, who is the ballroom coordinator was wonderful help and responded to all of my questions. They had recently renovated the club and it was fantastic!! We also had our ceremony outside there and it was beautiful with the large surrounding trees.
Abdul was the head worker on our wedding day, he made sure everything was in order. He was helpful and insured a perfectly organized evening. We had them cater, the food was amazing! We had buffet so we actually didn't do a test taste, but it was soo tasty!

GRATEFUL DEAD: So Glad You Made It
It was 22 years ago, I was living in Vancouver at the time, when the phone rang. It was my mother calling from Hamilton.
"Hello, dear," she said in her proper English accent. "You know that band you've been following around all these years — oh, what's their name? the Grateful Dead? — I do believe they're coming to Hamilton."
"Yes, mom," I answered with a broad grin. "I've got my tickets. See you on the weekend."
Word was out. The Grateful Dead was bringing its 25th anniversary tour to Copps Coliseum for two shows, March 22 and 23. Even my mother knew. As she said, I'd been following the band around for years. There was no way I was going to miss them in my hometown. A quick call to a ticket broker, a red-eye flight from Vancouver and I was home.
They turned out to be memorable shows, indeed, part of an even more memorable tour. Hamilton was a good host to the visiting tie-dyed tribes, even providing a makeshift campground at Chedoke golf course. (The Dead enjoyed the city's hospitality so much that they returned for two more shows in 1992).
It didn't take long for bootleg tapes of varying quality to circulate among fans. In more recent years, excerpts of the shows have made their way onto the internet.
Deadheads are a self-absorbed lot, living in a strange parallel universe isolated from the rest of the rock 'n' roll world. Their devotion is legend. They can argue for hours about arcane details of set lists. There is one thing, however, on which just about all of them agree — the best years were 1972, 1977 and 1990.
Some of those 1990 performances were included in the album, Without A Net, released that same year. But, for a true Deadhead, it just wasn't enough, especially considering the great strides in audio reproduction that have happened since.
Now, the 1990 tour has finally got its due. Relix Records/Warner Music has released a new two-disc compilation from the spring tour, called So Glad You Made It. The tracks were hand-picked from five shows by official band archivist David Lemieux, engineered by longtime Dead soundman John Cutler, who recorded the original shows, and mastered to high-definition standards.
To its credit, the March 22, 1990, show at Copps is represented with six of the 20 tracks — Feel Like A Stranger, West L.A. Fadeaway, Easy To Love You, Beat It On Down The Line, The Last Time, and Samson and Delilah.
In the traditional Grateful Dead order of things, these tracks represent first-set "numbers" — structured songs that rarely went beyond seven minutes in length, avoiding the extended free-form jams that dominated the second sets (the shows averaged three-and-a-half hours in length.)
Shows from Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., the Civic Centre in Hartford, Conn., the Capital Centre in Landover, Md., and the Knickerbocker Arena in Albany, N.Y., dominate the second-set songs, offering extended versions of Scarlet Begonias, Estimated Prophet, Playing in the Band, and Eyes of the World.
These are magnificent performances, better than you'll find on many previous Grateful Dead live compilations. It's unfortunate that some of the extended second-set songs from the Copps' shows were not included. The Hey Jude/Dear Mr. Fantasy segue was particularly worthy.
The Grateful Dead is on fire throughout these songs. The intricate guitar interplay of Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir is as superb as ever. The thundering rhythm section laid down by bassist Phil Lesh and drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann is overwhelming.
The spark that raises these shows above others, though, is provided by Brent Mydland's powerful keyboards and gravelly vocals.
Mydland was never a fan favourite, always considered a newcomer having joined the band just 11 years earlier. Yet, it's his performance, especially on Hammond organ on showstoppers like Morning Dew and Not Fade Away, that make these shows stand out from earlier years. (Unfortunately, Mydland died just four months later of an accidental drug overdose).
For Deadheads it's never enough. True aficionados will want to purchase an 18-disc box set, containing six complete concerts from the 1990 spring tour, including the entire March 23 show at Copps for about $250, including currency exchange and mailing costs.
It's a limited run of just 9,000 and contains a good mix of artwork, as well. The first batch sold out quickly, but there'll be a few more available next month. It's the perfect Christmas present for the Deadhead in your family — unless, of course, they still haven't purchased the 73-disc box set of the complete Europe '72 tour, or the nine-disc set of the '77 Winterland shows.

I was out with a Marlin 99M1 this past weekend and ran a few different types of ammunition through it- Wolf, Remington, and Federal Bulk. Each type of ammo ended up producing a dud almost once per magazine (8 round tube). Always had a hammer mark, but they just didn't go off.
I know those aren't premium manufacturers, but is that typical of .22 ammunition or am I looking at a problem with the rifle itself? Maybe a hammer spring?

I've had pretty good luck with Federal bulk but Remington has always been terrible for me. With a dud per mag I'd suspect some type of mechanical problem though. Not knowing squat about rifles, I can't help but in a handgun I'd be looking at a weak mainspring or crud in the firing pin channel...
Could be a kinked recoil spring - my 99M1 has one. Too easy to accidentally kink it when removing/reinstalling for cleaning! Mine will have an occasional misfire too. Mine also won't reliably cycle with the mag tube full - use one less round, works fine.....
Thanks for the info NG and Bigdog. I noticed the same thing about the mag tube, 7 seems to be the magic number. I had a fair number of stovepipes as well, but I seem to remember reading about that being a common problem with these rifles.
Bigdog, have you done the replacement feedthroat conversion? I'm trying to decide if that might help at all.
No, I haven't done that yet. May think about it though. Fun little rifle - excellent 'bunny buster'!
The 1st thing I would do is clean it real good & oil it. That should take care of most of your problems.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
sounds pretty typical for .22 ammo. i have 3 different .22's and they are all extremely well taken care of and cleaned, but i get misfires maybe 15-20/500 or so.
Speak softly and carry a big stick...just know how to use it.
Your gun is a dressed up model 60. The main cause I have found is dirt. Over lubing will hold dirt. Mine hates bulk ammo. I can shoot Winchester Wildcats, Any kind of Aguila, CCI, but it hates cheap bulk ammo. I would also clean the ammo tube.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.

Rate Dr. Andres Traverse
Dr. Andres Traverse's Ratings
Dr. Traverse has a staff that is very friendly, knowledgable, and always helpful. One can't say enough about the dr. himself. He is the absolute best at his craft, with his skill, knowledge and willingness to go far and beyond what anyone would expect. In our case he suggested Trigeminal Neuralgia subsequent to dental treatment which did not alleviate the pain, yet was very necessary. He made himself available and supplied pain management for a long time, (years), until neurologists and neurosurgeons managed to arrest this extremely painful illness through brain surgery. It was Dr. Traverse who initiated the actions and supplied the interim help and guidance we needed to put quality of life back into our, at that time, existence. We will be forever grateful to him and his staff, and we have no problem with a 3 hr. round trip drive to be treated by this man.

I have been a patient since before the Dr was at this location.During the years of fillings,an abscess.root canals and teeth pulled Dr. Traverse & his staff are ALWAYS the consummate Professionals. If the procedure is painful, everything is done to make me more comfortable. I have problems with a gag reflex, at no time have I ever been made to feel I was taking more time or was a bother.Dr.Traverse even went to another city to remove stitches for my Mother who had been unexpected hospitalized on his own time and with no charge.I was a resident of Burlington until 2000 & will Not go to another dentist because Dr Traverse is the best!

An excellent dentist and a wonderful human being. So kind and compassionate and gentle. You cannot help but see that the man genuinely cares about his patients. He was also extremely generous with me at a time when I had no insurance. He helped me out with fees, quietly and without being asked. He didnt even want to be thanked for it. Office staff are terrific as well, friendly, helpful, happy people.

So nice! He knew I'd had surgery and inquired after my health when I saw him again. I was surprised he remembered, since it had been 6 months between appointments. Great at making you comfortable before and during any procedure, even if it's just a filling. Nice guy. Everyone else is nice, too, hygienists and front desk. Can be a bit of a wait, but it depends.

I would never consider going to another dentist, the only way that I will is if he wins the lottery or retires - it won't be my choice that is for certain. I saw there is a complaint noted on this site about him, and I was shocked to read it because I have never experienced anything close to any of those situations, quite the opposite in fact. I actually look forward to seeing the staff and the Dr - they are all vested in your health and that is exactly what I was looking for when I lucked out and found him!

Realizing they were trapped, the Larrivees knew they needed to think of a good reason Robert was in the women's bathroom. So when the cops arrived, the brother and sister claimed they had entered the ladies room to have sex.

Old Quarter, Lisbon
Located on the southeastern slope of the hill crowned by Castelo de Sao Jorge is Alfama, Lisbon's oldest quarter, which sufferred only slight damage in the 1775 earthquake. Visitors will find the unique atmosphere prevailing in the streets and alleyways of far greater interest than individual buildings.
Some houses in this quarter still stand on foundations dating from the times of the West Goths, but the whole structure of the area was essentially shaped by the Arabs. Although no houses remain from this era, the confused arrangement of its maze of streets and alleyways does. The name Alfama is also derived from Arabian origins and probably evolved from the word al-Hama, the name of the thermal spring which once bubbled here.
Moors, Christians and Jews lived in the old quarter. Rua da Judiaria recalls one of its three former Jewish ghettos. Today it seems almost inconceivable that during the Middle Ages Alfama was once a respected, rich quarter where prosperous members of the bourgeoisie and aristocrats lived. From the 16th C. mainly fishermen, craftsmen, workers and sailors settled here, while in the 18th C. the area was temporarily regarded as a center of prostitution. Regarding higgledy piggledy Alfama the rational planning minister Pombal is supposed to have said that Lisbon could really do with a second earthquake.
Travel guides of the 19th C. paint a picture of an extremely gloomy, dirty and depressing area. Reference is made to the many cases of tuberculosis and the ever present danger of epidemics which arose as a result of unhealthy living conditions. Today the poorer classes continue to live here, mainly in houses in need of renovation. Insufficient heating, or a complete lack of it, and draughty walls in the small, closely built flats, where little sunlight penetrates, ensure poor living conditions, especially in winter. At present some of the houses in the inner city are being renovated as part of a redevelopment scheme.
To maintain the structure of the population that has evolved within the quarter, drastic rent increases are being avoided as much as possible. Even the inhabitants themselves pay attention to whoever becomes the next tenant of a flat which has become available.
This old quarter appears very picturesque to visitors in the summer. As the city of Lisbon is fully aware of Alfama's attraction to visitors, it gives financial support to the maintenance and improvement of the quarter's facades. Wandering through the labyrinth of winding alleyways, small archways and little flights of steps, many idyllic and picturesque corners are encountered.
Bright washing flaps in front of colorful house fronts, canaries sing from their cages hanging from windows and doors, numerous flower pots compensate for the lack of greenery in the streets. On warm days the shade offerred by the densely built houses explains the reasoning behind this style of construction.
Alfama's structure is such that few cars can enter there, emphasising the feeling of having been transported to a different time. Correspondingly, the atmosphere in the quarter is considerably defined by the different noises and smells. Life is lived for the most part on the street. The many tourists who stream through Alfama in the summer are tolerated in a serene and friendly manner.
In the evenings fado, the kind of music which was particularly popular in the 19th C., can be listened to in bars provided specially for tourists.
The route into Alfama leads via Rua Augusto Rosa/Rua do Limoeiro past the Sé Patriarchal and the Igreja de Santo António da Sé to the Santa Luzia viewpoint.
One of the "entrances" to the quarter, via the steps of Rua Norberto Araújo next to the Igreja de Santa Luzia, is located here. From the Tagus, a tour around the Largo do Terreiro do Trigo can begin through the Arco do Rosário.

Written by Dr. Cynthia Paulis Thursday, 07 August 2014 00:00
For more than 20 years, fashion photographer Roberto Dutesco has been traveling to Sabel Island, a remote island 100 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia, to photograph horses. This windswept island, known as the graveyard of the Atlantic, has been the site of 475 shipwrecks and also home to something extraordinary: a colony of more than 400 wild horses who have managed to survive on this austere terrain, with only sea grass and ponds for sustenance.
"I consider myself a global ambassador for the wild horses of Sabel Island," says Dutesco. "I wanted to share my experience among the wild horses to people around the world, to show them true wilderness in its primal state, unaware and unafraid of man. I wanted to recreate for others, as nearly as possible, my extraordinary experience, what it was like for me to step onto their untouched land, what it was like for them to see me, and what they would remember from the encounter long afterward."
Only two people live on this island and have to create a makeshift landing strip any time a plane comes in by carving out a runway in the sand. This unforgiving land, never permanently settled, was a temporary home of shipwrecked sailors, 40 convicts transported in 1598, pirates and wreckers. No one knows how the horses came to the island but they have been running free for centuries. Dutesco, originally from Budapest and now a resident of Canada, has made eight trips to the island.
His magnificent photographs have been seen around the world and now they can be seen in a new studio that opened up last month in Sea Cliff called GREY, owned by Sonja Nuttall, a Sea Cliff resident and fashion designer. Nuttall was instrumental in co-founding the Urban Zen foundation in 2006 with Donna Karan, which works to introduce nontraditional healing methods into hospitals, and through philanthropic works has raised awareness of the plights affecting people everywhere from Tibet to Israel. Nuttall met Dutesco 12 years ago when she was meeting the Dali Lama.
"Roberto was there photographing the Dali Lama and we became good friends. I love his work," says Nuttall. "I had this space for over a year but never did anything with it. I wanted people to experience something beautiful and he is so beautiful, so this showing of Roberto's work is the first time the gallery is opened. His show will run for three months and afterward I have four more artists coming."
The opening evening was a who's who of Sea Cliff. Mayor Bruce Kennedy and his wife, Robin, greeted Dutesco, who was signing his books for the enthusiastic crowd.
"I think this art exhibit is spectacular and very unique," said Kennedy, who has been mayor of Sea Cliff for six years and is now running for State Senator. "It is really nice that Sonja took a risk and opened up this gallery. The talent she brings to this community is so nice. This is reflective of what the village of Sea Cliff is all about, we are an artistic community that embraces the arts."
Stacey Scarpone, Sea Cliff resident and the executive director of the Women's Fund of Long Island in Jericho, had high praise for Dutesco and Nuttall. "What Sonja brings to this village is absolutely wonderful. She brings everyone together in a wonderful artistic space. I think this is a fabulous exhibit bringing acclaimed international artists to a local space to elevate the beautiful small village of Sea Cliff and to give everyone a taste of what is going on. This is a gorgeous experience."
Scarpone met Dutesco through Nuttall. Last year the fundraiser for the WFLI which featured Donna Karan had a silent auction. One of the items auctioned off was a magnificent photograph of the wild horses donated by Dutesco. "When he heard about WFLI and the work we do with women and girls, he said, 'I am in, how can I help?' The money raised by his photograph helps support girl's scholarship programs given by WFLI."
Sea Cliff resident Susanne Deegan said, "I have been a fan of Dutesco's work for many years and I have seen it all over the world in different places. It's just magnificent and this art space is just terrific. We need things like this in Sea Cliff to reflect some of the personality and tastes; it adds value to the block and the village."
Kirsten Marchioli of Sea Cliff purchased one of the books. "My daughter loves horses and I have been admiring the photographs in this studio. I feel like I want to run away to a desert island."
Dutesco laughed hearing her comment, since he knows how hard it is to get to. "It costs $10,000 every time the plane goes up in the air. Half of the year the island is in fog and another third you can't land so you have to be very lucky to get there. The superintendent makes a runway in the sand. I stay with the two people who have been there for 40 years in a weather compound."
The Gallery is located at 78 Rosyln Rd., Sea Cliff, across from the firehouse. The exhibit is open Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.
