PoliticsDRC rebels close in on regional capital The rebel army is at the gates of DR Congo's capital, causing panic in the city as government soldiers, officials flee. 19 Nov 2012 04:26 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Kenya, Rwanda Government soldiers in the Democratic Republic Congo are fleeing Goma in large numbers as fighters belonging to the rebel M23 group advance to the gates of the regional capital after fresh fighting erupted in the area last week, according to a UN source. Goma airport has been closed, a Western military source said on Sunday, and hundreds of people have fled Goma, seeking refuge in nearby camps amid the most serious fighting in the area since July. Fighting erupted in eastern DRC in April following a mutiny by former soldiers who formed the M23. Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri, reporting from Nairobi in Kenya, said: "The rebels are about 3km away from Goma, and only two from Goma's airport. They have been advancing steadily in the last 24 hours. "Government officials and Congolese soldiers have been retreating. ... UN staff have been asked to stay indoors, international NGO workers and diplomats have been moved across the border to Rwanda. "Goma feels like a ghost town right now." Lieutenant-Colonel Vianney Kazarama, and M23 spokesperson, told AFP news agency that the fighters had reached Kibati, which is 5km from Goma. "We're at the gates ... We are not in the city of Goma. It's not our ambition to take Goma. Nevertheless if [President Joseph] Kabila's army attacks us, we will pursue the enemy until it is repelled very far from Goma," he said. There was no immediate comment on the rebel claim from the army. Renewed fighting UN attack helicopters launched sorties against rebels on Saturday as the UN Security Council demanded an end to foreign support for the M23, whose leader was hit by UN and US sanctions last week. The M23, in turn, has warned UN peacekeepers that "we will respond" if they fail to stop backing the regular army by strafing rebel positions. "Despite the UN air strikes, the rebels have an advantage. They have night vision equipment and mortars as well. People are expecting the rebel group to make some kind of advance," our correspondent reported. "The UN is attacking the rebels from the air with attack helicopters, but so far they have not engaged with them on the ground." In New York on Saturday, the 15-nation Security Council went into an emergency session on the crisis. Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary-general, appealed to Rwandan President Paul Kagame to "use his influence on M23", according to Herve Ladsous, UN peacekeeping chief. Rwanda has denied a report by UN experts that it has backed the rebels. DRC has again accused its neighbour Rwanda of backing the M23. Ladsous said the UN could not confirm whether Rwanda is helping the new rebel offensive but suggested that M23 "attacking forces are well-equipped and very well-supplied". New sanctions pledged A Security Council statement demanded an end to the M23 advance and "that any and all outside support and supply of equipment to the M23 cease immediately". It pledged new sanctions against M23 leaders and those who help it breach UN sanctions and an arms embargo. Last week both the UN and the US announced sanctions on Sultani Makenga, an M23 leader who is accused of masterminding killings, sex attacks, abductions and recruiting child soldiers. While each side blames the other for the latest violence, the UN mission in DC Congo MONUSCO said the M23 had launched an offensive with heavy weapons early on Saturday, prompting the UN peacekeepers to deploy to protect civilians. "As part of this, 10 missions were carried out by [MONUSCO] attack helicopters," it said in a statement. "MONUSCO firmly condemns the renewal of hostilities. It calls on the M23 to immediately halt its attacks, which have caused a deterioration of the already fragile security and humanitarian situation." Kazarama, the rebel spokesman, said MONUSCO "must stop" attacking areas under rebel control and show its neutrality. "If they continue to strafe us, we will respond," he said.Source: Al Jazeera And Agencies

'Everybody Wins' Mega Raffle Is Underway
This past Saturday, the third annual "Everybody Wins" Mega Raffle kicked off at the Quincy Mall.
This past Saturday, the third annual "Everybody Wins" Mega Raffle kicked off at the Quincy Mall.
We recently had a chance to interview Larry Toolate, better known around Quincy as the "Dancing Man." Not only is he well-known around the area - just about everyone has come across him showing off his moves in the mall, or going down the street - but he's also pretty famous on YouTube. Here are some of the best Dancing Man YouTube videos!
It was a beautiful day for a stroll a couple of years ago, so we set out with my then three-year-old daughter for a walk on Quincy's northeast side. In a flash, a man approached us from his house. I recognized him right away. The nice man handed my daughter a Beanie Baby doll, politely chit-chatted for a moment, and almost as quickly disappeared back into his house.
My daughter cherished that little doll, and still does to this day. Who was the nice man? It was none other than Larry Toolate, Quincy's very own "Dancing Man." I sat down to interview Toolate to learn more about him.
What would you do if you found out this coming Monday that you had the one million dollar winning ticket and failed to claim it in time? That is the dilemma facing someone out there.
The Quincy Area Youth Orchestra will present their 'Suite Masters' Spring Concert on at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 16 in the auditorium at Baldwin Intermediate School in Quincy, IL.

A job fair will be held on Thursday, March 7, 2013 at the Quincy Senior and Family Resource Center at 639 York.
The Texas Roadhouse opened in Quincy last week and it has drawn many patrons to it's new facility at 52nd and Broadway. The parking lot is shared by Game Masters, Bed, Bath and Beyond and Sit Tight, so when I attempted to buy a couple of baseballs at Game Masters Saturday, it was a fiasco just trying to get a parking spot.
The Quincy Notre Dame Lady Raiders won their third consecutive State Championship with a 62 to 45 victory this afternoon over Vernon Hills at Redbird Arena in Bloomington, Illinois. The Lady Raiders were paced by Kassidy Gengenbacher with 20 points.

This shot caused a great deal of discussion when I posted it on the FB group Pure Street Photography with the question…"Is this street?"
Every time I see the ACM and MTM, I have a camera with me as well as my iPhone. I never take a picture…What is that?
We had a lovely dinner tonight at Covo up on 133rd and 12th Avenue. Mama is nearing the end of this leg of her book tour, MTM is ending a convention and I just wrapped up another 12 days in a row of work so while not running on empty we all could use a fill up. Nevertheless a fun evening.
But the question is why do I never pull out my camera when I see them?
Before I met them I spent some time walking the river.
Challenge: On Top.
My first attempt: Here
On April 27,2012 another visitor became a New Yorker. It was surely on top that day.
Other views…
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
Robert Frost
"April hath put a spirit of youth in everything."
I was not going to do this again so soon (vision #1- here) but I spent the afternoon out and about uptown on the river from 155th Street to the bridge. The world was out there. Despite it only being in the low 50's something in the air has changed and we are clearly, finally, on the threshold of spring here in NYC. So many snuggling couples out and about. Kisses filled the street. The tennis courts were full. The fishermen were out and the barbecues (a few) were going. The boarders were on the river. Yes we are on the threshold of spring and the relief was palpable.
I hope they realize this is "my" tree (long story)
Soon enough to bloom
Those crazy days when half of us are in summer and half still in winter
Now really you didn't think my threshold wouldn't end anywhere but here…
Of course, soon enough the whining about the summer heat will start but for now…
It has been a Mary Black kind of weekend for me so here is one of her uptempo spring songs.
Other thresholdian visions:
and speaking of someone on the threshold…
"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack."
Winston Churchill
The Photo Challenge this week is: "Threes". I can't let that go without a visit to my favorite spot on the Hudson. If you have been reading the QH for any amount of time you may have been expecting today's sequence. This is far more than the third time I have shown this place. More likely it is 3 to the 3rd power plus 3.
Here are some other views of three starting with Raymond Chandler:
"Alcohol is like love. The first kiss is magic, the second is intimate, the third is routine. After that you take the girl's clothes off."
While I was trapped on The George Washington Bridge this evening, coming back from New Jersey (don't ask), I spent a lot of time listening to Pure Heroine, Lorde's album/cd/collection of music that no one under the age of 40 actually pays for and downloads in its entirety. (Embarrassingly enough for WordPress and its affiliates neither Lorde nor Pure Heroine produced a recommended link…why Tumblr gets the young folk).
I expect that many/most of you are familiar with the song Royals,
"My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come for money.
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy."
but the entire collection is well worth your attention. It is amazing and somewhat terrifying that the then 16 and now 17-year-old New Zealand girl is able to write the material that she has produced. Yes, her mother is an award-winning poet but really? And that is before we talk about her music and voice.
Anyway, all that brought to mind this picture from March 14, 2011.

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. I know that because I am right in the middle of this thing called motherhood. I'm in the business of expecting, birthing and training a young man and two young women. These past years have taught me that they are not the only ones growing. I am also growing as a human being. Here are some the ways my children are raising mom:
Peace • they are teaching me that if I don't parent with a peaceful frame of mind, they don't receive my teachings as well. They are young but they can tell when I am not at peace. I am challenged daily to find peace so that I can give that which dwells inside of me. I can't give what I don't have and when it comes to peace is really obvious.Patience • my patience has greatly increased when I became a parent. Just considering the fact that they are kids give me great compassion and understanding why growing in the fruit of the Spirit is so important. Being patient as a parent translates to exercising this fruit in other areas of my life. There is no law against patience and I am glad about that.
Selflessness • I didn't realize how selfish I was until I landed in the land of motherhood. The more our family grew, the more I had to step back and put others first. I don't mean to tell you that all my needs are neglected but I have learned to follow the ways of God when it comes to gladly looking out for the wellness of others before my own convenience.
Love • My kids are raising me to know a different level of love. With each birth I got to experience a new dimension of what it means to love and to be loved. In our house we verbally express our love for one another and I am glad we decided to do it this way. Love needs to come out in words and deeds, that's what kind of people I want them to be.
QUESTION • How have your children matured you?

The cheapest online share dealers
It was once the preserve of the super-rich or professional trader, but now the stock market is at the finger tips of anyone with enough an internet connection and the spare cash to make investing worthwhile.
There is a large range of online share dealers out there, and sifting through can be tiresome.
For that reason we've put together a snapshot of those brokers with the cheapest rates.
• Read our guide on the best way to buy and sell shares
You have probably already heard of powerhouses such as Hargreaves Lansdown, E*Trade, or TD Waterhouse. But most of those that have made our list are smaller, less well-known dealers offering discounted prices.
As is the case with any service provider, though, it pays to read the terms and conditions carefully before you sign up. In particular, watch out for any extra costs hidden behind what may otherwise seem a good deal, such as inactivity fees.
Charging for online share dealing works on a commission per trade basis. Sometimes this is set at a fixed rate, while occasionally it is charged as a percentage of the deal. Furthermore, certain stockbrokers offer discounts to frequent traders.
Some firms will charge you administration fees for their accounts, too - something to be wary of when signing up.
If you have some experience – good or bad – with online share dealers, share your story with other readers in reader comments below.
›› Five of the cheapest online share dealers.
• x-o.co.uk (Commission = £5.95 per trade ; Admin = Free)
• Guardian Stockbrokers (Commission= £6.94 per trade (costing up to £50,000) ; Admin = Free)
• SimplyStockbroking (Commission = £8 per trade ; Admin = Free
• Interactive Investor (Commission = £10 per trade ; Admin = Free)
• ShareCrazy (Commission = £9.99 per trade ; Admin = £5 annual account management fee)
›› The major players
If you're not comfortable opting for a less well-known broker, then you can always turn to the established names. Rates may be slightly more expensive, but one benefit of this route can be the extra services they might offer.
Some brokers provide live prices, latest comany reports, analysis of the market, and investor tools. These can help you get the most out of your money.
• Halifax (Commission = £11.95 )
• Hargreaves Landsdown (Commission = from £9.95 per trade)
• Self Trade (Commission = £12.50 ; Admin = £35 + VAT annually )
• TD Waterhouse (Commission = £12.5 (from £9.95 for frequent traders) ; Admin = £10 + VAT quarterly inactivity fee**)
• The Share Centre (Commission = 1% (£7.50 minimum) ; Admin = £2.50 + VAT per quarter)
›› Try our simple alternative
This is Money also provides a comprehensive sharedealing service in partnership with The Share Centre. Costing a set rate of £12.50 per trade, it comes free of all management charges. ›› Find out more and sign up

Easter devotions are here! Sign up for our Lent and Easter email devotions.
(Heb. netz, a word expressive of strong and rapid flight, and hence appropriate to the hawk). It is an unclean bird (Lev. 11:16; Deut. 14:15). It is common in Syria and surrounding countries. The Hebrew word includes various species of Falconidae, with special reference perhaps to the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), the hobby (Hypotriorchis subbuteo), and the lesser kestrel (Tin, Cenchris). The kestrel remains all the year in Palestine, but some ten or twelve other species are all migrants from the south. Of those summer visitors to Palestine special mention may be made of the Falco sacer and the Falco lanarius. (See NIGHT-HAWK.)

Do you prefer a Slate, Convertible or Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC)? Have no idea 4. What size Tablet PC would you prefer? Small and light Small and light ~ 5" to 8.9" Compact ~ 10" Mainstream ~ 12.1" Large ~ 13.3" 5. Which country do you intent to purchase from? USA or UK 6. Do you have any preferences to brand loyalty or dislikes? no 7. How many hours battery life do you require? will mostly be used at home or on 2 hour car journeys 8. What will be the primary usage scenario of this tablet? (Email/Web Surfing/Drawing/Word Processing/Entertainment/Notetaking etc) word processing, sketching, web 9. Do you have an OS preference? not sure what that is 10. What software and tasks do you intend to run? (Microsoft Office or other Word Processing Suite/Photoshop/3D Studio Max/Autocad etc) MS Office 10. Do you intend on playing Games? If so please list. Probably but not sure which ones. Those suitable for a 10 year old. Screen Specifics 1. What resolution do you prefer? Either XGA or SXGA XGA - 1024x768 ~ large and easy to read text and graphic icons but you fit less on the screen. SXGA - 1400x1050 ~ Small text and graphic icons which require good vision but the gain is a much larger screen. (no longer available new, must look for used or refurbished machines) WXGA - 1280x768 ~ has a wider usable area than XGA, ideal for viewing Spreadsheets and other programs that require desktop space. The mainly used resolution for new tablet PCs since 2008. 2. Do you require the screen to be readable in sunlight? not really See the above linked FAQ for guidance 3. Do you prefer your display to be glossy or matte? doesn't matter 4. Do you require Touch? (without pressure sensitivity) (Which one: resistive or capacitive) Couldn't find answers in FAQ.

Do you require ability to add a second Battery or Hard Drive (Modular Bay technology)? no Misc 1. Other non specific items ~ please add other items you require not covered above? 2. Additional requests ~ anything other you wish to take into consideration? My 10 year old recently saw Read it and Weep and loves the laptop / tablet that the main character uses, which looked very high spec to me. I'd like to get her a very basic model that she can use for mainly writing / typing, sketching, surfing the web. Any advice appreciated as I'm completely clueless! END COPY
150 Euros? That'll be tight, especially depending on European pricing for the models I have in mind. You might be able to squeeze in a Toshiba Portege M200 or HP TC1100 with that budget, but I can't say that as confidently as I could to someone else in the States, where I know the eBay pricing far better.
Welcome to the Forum. I'm guessing you are going to be buying this for your 10 year old daughter. You will want it to have an Active Digitizer Pen, as they are the best thing for writing on the screen. Unfortunately only the more expensive Tablet PC's will have those; the far cheaper "Entertainment Tablets" (these include the iPad, Android Tablets, and knockoffs of these) will not have a Active Digitizer Pen. You will also want it to run Windows 7 or Vista (they are effectively the same, and they both have great support for using a Active Digitizer Pen) Fortunately though you can get an amazing price on a good used Tablet PC (most likely from ebay) Do you know how to play the ebay bidding game? (if not I know there are a few members here who can give you a crash course) For example here is a good Tablet PC (a large 14" screen one) Gateway CX2750 2.0 GHz Core Duo 14? TABLET LAPTOP PC on eBay (end time 12-Dec-10 15:37:40 GMT) Now if you were to bid on this one it would be best to wait until the bid time just about runs out, that way you don't draw attention to it , and the price won't go up as fast. Here are a few more to look at --Toshiba Portege 3500 Laptop Tablet P3500 PC - GWO on eBay (end time 12-Dec-10 11:50:32 GMT) --HP Compaq tc1000 not tc1100 Laptop Tablet PC ipad on eBay (end time 06-Dec-10 22:01:27 GMT) --Fujitsu Stylistic ST5112 Tablet PC with Pen, Core Duo on eBay (end time 11-Dec-10 20:45:02 GMT) (this one looks intriguing, take a good look at it) Tips on what to avoid entirely (these are those "Entertainment Tablets" I was talking about) They do not have the right hardware to write on them, they cannot run the software you would need to, and they are very cheaply built. Avoid ones that do not have a Active Digitizer Pen, ones that do not have a specific model or brand, and ones that are clearly "Entertainment Tablets" Here is a "generic" or piece-o-junk, device. tablet pc 10" on eBay (end time 07-Dec-10 18:59:51 GMT) Here are some examples of "Entertainment Tablets" that cannot fulfill your needs in any way. --7" Wifi Google Epad ANDROID Apad TABLET PC Touch Screen on eBay (end time 06-Dec-10 12:55:33 GMT) --ANDROID 7" TABLET PC CASE EBOOK READER GALAXY TAB P1000 on eBay (end time 31-Dec-10 11:50:56 GMT) Now, because you are looking at getting a kinda expensive Tablet PC (it is really a laptop, as it has the same hardware as a laptop, and does the same things; plus it has the Active Digitizer Pen and a few other featurea that make it different) You should see if your daughter has any money saved up (or money she will get for Christmas) that she would be willing to put towards this device that is for her. PS: keep in mind that none of these will exactly be small or light as they are basically full laptops, and thus can do everything a laptop can do. You can always look into a getting a "e-ink" sort of device (one that has a Active Digitizer Pen) For example there is this one -http://www.tabletpcreview.com/default.asp?newsID=1780&news=asus+eee+note+pda- that is coming out some time early 2011. I myself have been looking at getting this device as it is currently selling in Taiwan for the equivalent of $230, and the price is sure to drop down a bit from there.
Yes, forget the entertainment tablets. Get all aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc. to pitch in and buy her a proper TabletPC (especially if she is very interested in drawing and art). Agent9 did a good research job for you there, if you can get the budget up a bit we can make some more suggestions.
Thank you both very much for your replies. I was actually wondering about the "entertainment" type tablets. So are they completely unsuitable then? I was hoping to get this for a Christmas present. Have no clue about the eBay bidding game so any tips would be gratefully received. Thanks again.
If the handwriting/ note taking/ Journaling, are important (it sounds like the main reason you are looking for this) then your only option is to get a Tablet PC, not a Entertainment Tablet If it is a Christmas present, then you should ask the seller if you could return it after Christmas (because it is for your daughter, and you aren't entirely sure it is what she wants; just be polite to the seller and he/she may oblige) There are plenty of people here who would be willing to help you with the ebay part (I'll Private Message them and see if they will help) Also if you find something you think might work -but you aren't sure- you can post a link back here and we can tell you if it is any good. Good Luck!
If she is not really into art much, but just doodles every now and again, and you suspect her liking the one she saw is just about the coolness factor etc. and she will in essence just use it like a bigger iPod, then they will be fine, you will probably have to get a stylus extra as most don't come with one. But that is like giving her a set of permanent markers to draw with, or a box of finger paint, instead of a huge box of pencils and brushes with different thickness and hardness etc. Of course you can also draw good stuff with permanent markers, but you hit the limits of what is possible rather soon. If she is into "real" drawing, or wants to get into it, and wants to do word processing etc. with handwriting, then they are not the way to go.
Just because I was curious I did some digging. The answer I found was that the movie used a Gateway M275. Ebay is definately the best choice for older machines. It's fairly easy to browse around the different models and get an idea of what types of failures they have, which are more prone to breakage, and what gets lost. You can also get an idea by prices of what models remain popular even now, and what spare parts will be available should you need them. I concure that the current crop of entertainment slates are toys that will soon be tossed aside. Tablet PC's are real computers that can be counted on to do real work for many years to come. When you're shopping, just makes sure that the one you choose is a complete running machine, (memory, hard drive, bottom hatch covers, stylus, battery (even if it's not great), power adapter, and a loaded operating system (or the software to reload it). Piecing together after the fact could be a real nightmare.

Michigan would lose $140 million in federal budget cuts
The White House says Michigan faces about $140 million in losses if an automatic federal budget cut takes effect Friday, and U.S. Sen. Carl Levin says he's hopeful the deadline pressure will prompt Congress to raise money by closing some tax loopholes.
The Michigan Democrat told MLive.com that the key to a deal this week lies with finding some Republicans who are willing to balance spending cuts and revenue increases.
The Obama administration released a state-by-state list Sunday that details some of what it says will be the effect of an automatic cut to the federal budget that Congress approved in 2011.
The cuts include $67.7 million in gross pay to 10,000 civilian Defense Department employees in Michigan and $42.2 million to K-12 and disability education programs in the state.
The White House compiled the numbers from federal agencies and its own budget office. The numbers reflect the impact of the automatic budget cuts this year. Unless Congress acts by Friday, $85 billion in cuts are set to take effect from March-September.
As to whether states could move money around to cover shortfalls, the White House said that depends on state budget structures and the specific programs. The White House did not have a list of which states or programs might have flexibility.
The cuts in Michigan
- 10,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by $67.7 million.
- $14 million for Army base operations.
- $22 million in funding for primary and secondary education.
- $20.3 million for teachers and aides for children with disabilities.
- Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for 2,300 children.
- 2,490 low-income students would college financial aid, and about 1,300 fewer would get work-study jobs to finance their higher education.
- $5.9 million in environmental funding.
- $1.5 million for fish and wildlife protection.
- $1.7 million in funding for job search assistance, referral and placement.
- $2.9 million for substance abuse treatment.
- $944,000 for public health emergency preparedness.
- $1.8 million for meals for the elderly.
- $482,000 in Justice Assistance Grants.

Boris Vallejo
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2014) |
Boris Vallejo | |
Boris Vallejo, April 2005.
Born | Lima, Peru |
January 8, 1941
Spouse(s) | Julie Bell |
Boris Vallejo (born January 8, 1941[1]) is a Peruvian painter.[2] He immigrated to the United States in 1964, and he currently resides in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He frequently works with Julie Bell, his wife, painter, and model.[citation needed]
Vallejo works almost exclusively in the fantasy and erotica genres.[2] His hyper-representational paintings have graced the covers of dozens of science fiction paperbacks and are featured in a series of best-selling glossy calendars. Subjects of his paintings are typically Sword and sorcery gods, monsters, and well-muscled male and female barbarians engaged in battle. Some of his male figures were modeled by Vallejo himself, and many of his later female characters were modeled by his wife. His latest works still retain heavy fantasy elements, but lean more towards the erotic rather than pure fantasy themes.[citation needed]
Vallejo began painting at the age of 13, in 1954, and had his first illustration job three years later, in 1957, at the age of 16. After emigrating to the United States in 1964, at the age of 23, he quickly garnered a fan following from his illustrations of Tarzan, Conan the Barbarian, Doc Savage and various other fantasy characters (often done for paperback fiction works featuring the characters). This led to commissions for movie poster illustration, advertisement illustration, and artwork for various collectibles - including Franklin Mint paraphernalia, trading cards, and sculpture. Along with Bell, Vallejo presents his artwork in an annual calendar and various books. Vallejo's work is often compared to the work of Frank Frazetta, not only because it is similar stylistically, but also since Frazetta painted covers for paperbacks of some of the same characters.[citation needed]
Vallejo's preferred artistic medium is oil paint on board, and has previously used digital media to combine discrete images to form composite images. Preparatory works are pencil or ink sketches, which have been displayed in the book Sketchbook. He and Julie Bell have worked on collaborative artworks together, in which they sign the artwork with both names.[citation needed]
Vallejo has created film posters for numerous fantasy and action productions, including Knightriders (1981), Q (1982), and Barbarian Queen (1985). He has also illustrated posters for comedies, notably National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), European Vacation (1985), and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007), co-created with Bell.[3] He created the 1978 Tarzan calendar.[citation needed]
He received the British Fantasy Award as best artist in 1979[4] for his painting The Amazon Princess and her Pet.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Vallejo is married to fellow artist Julie Bell, whose artistic style is very similar to Vallejo's. He has two children from a previous marriage to artist and writer Doris Vallejo as well as two stepsons. His son, Dorian Vallejo, also has produced work in the fantasy genre but now works primarily as a portrait painter. His daughter, Maya Vallejo, is a professional photographer. His stepsons, Anthony Palumbo and David Palumbo, are both painters for fine art galleries as well as illustrators in the science fiction/fantasy genre.[citation needed]
Popular culture[edit]
The Ween song "Vallejo" is a tribute to the artist. Ween's drummer, Claude Coleman Jr, attended high school with Vallejo's children in Maplewood, New Jersey.[citation needed]
Several books of collections of his works are available, such as:
- Imaginistix (2006)
- The Fabulous Women of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell (2006)
- Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell: The Ultimate Collection (2005)
- Twin Visions (2002)
- Titans (aka Superheroes): The Heroic Visions of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell
- Fantasy Workshop
- Sketchbook
- Dreams: The Art of Boris Vallejo (1999)
- Ladies
- Fantasy Art Techniques (1985)
- Mirage (1982, reprinted 1996 & 2001)
- The Fantastic Art of Boris Vallejo (1980)
A yearly calendar of 13 paintings by Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell is produced by Workman Publishing.[citation needed]

Soldier's On fundraiser aims to help homeless veterans
PLYMOUTH - New Hampshire's Soldier On project, which is working to find permanent housing for homeless veterans, will kick off its fundraising effort at an event Nov. 29 at the Common Man Inn and Spa.
Soldier On is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that works with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies to provide veterans with shelter and support in an environment that offers dignity, integrity and hope.
The organization's mission is to offer a permanent source of care for veterans that includes immediate and long-term housing with services delivered where they live. The project is designed to assist them in their transition from homelessness to homeownership.
The event will formally mark the beginning of a fundraising effort for Soldier On's first New Hampshire permanent housing community, said Cathy Bentwood, director of the Bridge House Homeless shelter in Plymouth and a member of the local Soldier On leadership team.
The project has had strong local support from veterans, business leaders and state and federal political leaders, all of whom are committed to providing the kinds of services and assistance that veterans themselves say they need and want, Bentwood said.
The goal is to alleviate the problem of homeless veterans in the North Country and statewide, she said.
The group is planning a veterans' housing facility in Holderness, though details of the project are still being worked out.
"It's an honor to be part of Soldier On's New Hampshire initiative," Bentwood said. "Soldier On is ahead of the curve in solving this problem."
Local Soldier On team members have been meeting this fall with potential contributors to the project. Those meetings went well, and there is now a more detailed project plan, which will be shared at the event, she said.
The goal for Phase 1 of the fundraising project is $75,000, which will cover the predevelopment costs.
Common Man owner Alex Ray has offered a 1-to-1 match for the first $25,000 committed.
The event will begin with a reception at 6 p.m. and will feature remarks by Jack Downing, president and CEO of Soldier On, as well as members of the New Hampshire leadership team.
Those wishing to attend or seeking more information may call 536-3720 or email email@example.com. Gifts of all sizes will be accepted.

Historic downtown Mineola hotel almost complete
POSTED: Monday, August 18, 2014 - 3:45pm
UPDATED: Monday, August 18, 2014 - 5:51pm
Mineola, Tx (KETK) — Ron and Connie Meissner said they were praying about retirement, and never expected what God's answer would be. Connie said, "we kept driving by this wonderful, beautiful hotel that was totally in disrepair." She said one day they casually walked into the historic Beckham Hotel in downtown Mineola curious about its history, and left as its owners.
"This building deserved to be saved," said Meissner. For 17 months now they have spent their own money to make the old railroad worker's hotel into a timeless masterpiece. Even though its been difficult, Meissner said its been worth it, "about the time you want to give up, the hotel will throw you something, she'll show you something, she will reward you in some way."
"The response has been overwhelming with the people," said Meissner. The restaurant portion called, Taste Budz, has been open for a few months, and Meissner said its been a hit. Carl and Michele Taylor are regulars at the diner, and said they are impressed. "Its going to be something very amazing," Michele said because "what it was before, it was like, you might as well tear the building down, so many people did say that."
In February, KETK was given a first look into the beginning stages of restoration. At the time there was bare walls, empty ceilings, and dusty shelves. Now, the hotel is almost completely finished. "When you walk through it now you honestly feel like you've stepped back into time," said Meissner.
They are still working on the top two floors which are rooms for guests to stay in, but are booking wedding receptions and events. Meissner also says they will have an paranormal spirit fest in October, and a grand opening by the new year.

Isn't it great!
I love it....
He did so well!!!
Crystelle Boutique |
Sunny Cantaloupe My son was being creative with the cantaloupe and the camera.... Isn't it great! I love it.... XOXOX He did so well!!! Dress Form Dress Up Olivia was so honored to be invited to the Polka Dot Closet Dress Form Ball.... She got dressed up in her very best.... She took two of my shirts from the "to-be-donated-to-DI" pile and used them for her shirt and skirt, but added some flowers and vintage lace... She wore her vintage lumbar support corset too.... My ten year old was wondering why she wore it on the OUTSIDE of her clothes.... I don't know either.... I guess she likes it so much, she wants to show it off.... Right before she left for the party she saw the "laugh" banner and decided to wear it as a necklace.... What do you think of her outfit? |
