Product Reviews
It was very difficult to place on my car vents. When I tried to turn it a piece of plastic fell off and it was useless. It is not worth the cheap price if it can't be used.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? It was difficult to tell how it actually attached to the car.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very poor Quality

You lay on the hotel bed flipping through the channels on the TV. The hotel phone rang as you settled on a cooking channel. Not that you could understand it anyway, but it the host was making German Chocolate cake. You muted the TV and grabbed the phone.
"My sunflower! I heard about the accident, how are you feeling?" Ivan said from the other end.
"Alright, just bored." you said.
"Well you won't be bored any longer, cause I'm here again." Ivan said.
There was a knock at the door right then. You got up and answered it.
"Ivan, what part of 'I'm undercover' don't you get?" you said, feeling a little annoyed, as sweet as it was.
"Da, I know, but this is a emergency, you're hurt and I'm here to take care of you." Ivan said with a big smile.
He quickly swept you off your feet and put you back on the bed.
"I shall make it better with kisses, da?"
He kissed you gently on the lips; his right hand slipping under your neck and into your hair. His other hand slipped around your waist. You closed your eyes and let yourself slip away into this moment of bliss. His kisses moved from your lips to your cheek and the down your neck.
You opened your eyes and pushed gently on Ivan's chest.
"Ivan..." you said softly.
He lifted his head and looked down at you.
"What's wrong sunflower?" he asked.
"As much as I love this, we need to talk." you said.
Ivan laid down on his side next to you; propping himself up on his elbow.
"Did you talk to your boss?" you asked.
"I did, but he wants you to stay longer. I even told him about your broken arm, but he still said no. That's why I'm here, I thought I come here and take care of you. Don't worry I'll stay out of sight. No one will know I'm here." Ivan said kissing you on the nose.
You bit your lip, "Well, actually Ludwig offered for me to stay with him."
Ivan's expression changed like it did before.
"Oh, I see."
"Come on, it's just like you said, only a few more months. He has two friends staying with him as well, so it's not like I'm going to be completely alone with him." you assured him.
"I understand. The boss would be mad if you didn't go anyway." Ivan said, sitting up.
You sat up too and put your arms around his waist.
"I know this is kind of weird situation, but it's my way of showing my gratitude to you for taking me in all those years ago."
Suddenly Ivan turn around and pushed you back onto the bed. Wrapping his arms around you, careful not to hit your arm, he buried his face in the crook of your neck. He felt his head then shift and his lips brush against your ear.
"You are one with me da."
It sounded more like a statement than a question. You felt nervous again. Why was he acting like this?
Just then your phone rang and Ivan sat up.
"Do you want to get that?" He asked.
"Um...yeah." you said sitting up yourself.
You reached over and grabbed it.
"Hallo, ______."
It was Ludwig. You mouth that to Ivan and he stood up and walked out on the balcony.
"Hi, Ludwig." you said.
"Have you thought about my offer?" he asked.
"Yes and I'd be happy to come and stay with you." you said in a cheery voice.
"Gut, I'm glad. Vhat time should I pick you up?" he asked.
"Um, sometime this afternoon would be good. How about 3:00?" you said.
"Ja, that sounds gut. I'll see you then." he said.
"See you then, Ludwig. Bye."
"So you're going?" Ivan asked.
"Yes. I better get packed." you said.
You quickly walked over to him and embraced him tightly with your good arm.
"I'll miss you. You know I bet you I won't find anything and I'll be back home before you know it." you told him.
Ivan smiled, "Probably. I hope so." He went over and grabbed your suitcase. "Here, I'll help you pack."
"Thank you."
It was afternoon now, and the time on your watch said 2:45. You knew Ludwig would be here soon. You're lugage was packed and sitting on the bed.
'I'd better go get checked out.' you said to yourself, grabbing your suitcase.
You felt nervous as you left your room and boarded the elevator. Yet it wasn't like the nervousness you felt about coming here, it was more the nervous you got before a performance. An excited nervousness. You faced palmed. Why were you excited?
This was part of the job; staying with Ludwig. Very handsome, sweet, sexy Ludwig... you face palmed again. You also realized how grateful you were that no one else was in the elevator to see you facepalming.
You couldn't have feelings for him, you just couldn't.
The elevator ding as it settled on the lobby floor. You quickly stepped out and headed to the counter to check out.
Just as you did Ludwig walked into the hotel. He wasn't alone though. With him was a strange pale man, with white hair and red eyes and a almost permanent smirk on his face. It occurred to you that this was the albino, Prussia or Gilbert, Ludwig's brother. You had read about him in Ludwig's profile.
Ludwig smiled at you when he saw you, but it faded when Gilbert elbowed and winked at him knowingly. Ludwig scowled at him and turned back to you, the smile slowly returning.
"Hallo, ______." he said.
"Hi, Ludwig. Who's your friend?" you asked.
"Oh, um this is my brother, Gilbert. A bit of a nuiciance." Ludwig said, annoyance clear in his voice.
"Vhat?! I am the AWESOME Gilbert! You're only annoyed because you can't stand my awesomeness."
Gilbert smiled at you, "It's nice to meet you, ______. My bruder can't seem to shut up about you. I can see vhy."
You felt yourself blush at the thought of Ludwig talking about you and Ludwig matched it. His face almost as red as a tomato.
Gilbert snickered, "Isn't that right, bruder?"
"Shut up, Gilbert"
Ludwig took your bag to the car, while you checked out. Gilbert followed after him saying a few more things to Ludwig, who was clearly close to strangling his brother. You laughed quietly to yourself. They were definitely brothers.
After checking out you walked out and met them at their car. Ludwig held open the passenger door like he always did and you got in.
***( mini time skip)
There had been one thing Ludwig had failed to mention and that was which of his places they would be staying in. Ludwig technically owned a lot of the mansions and castles in Germany, since he is Germany. He hadn't told you this beforehand, but you didn't care, because it was an awesome surprise.
You stood at the entrance of Neuschwanstein Castle or King Ludwig's castle, the grandest castle in Bavaria. Just the entrance to the castle was grand, with a mix of red bricks and beautifully carved stone. Two large wooden gate doors sat open, leading into the large courtyard.
You looked over at Ludwig who gave you small smile.
"You like it?" he asked.
"It's amazing! Didn't know I would get to be treated like royalty." you said.
"Come on, I'll show you inside." Ludwig said taking your suitcase and leading you inside.
The two of you walked though the large courtyard to a large flight of stairs leading into the actual castle. Gilbert followed behind, carrying the rest of the luggage, which Ludwig had made him do. Once inside you found yourself agape again at the grandiose interior.
"Wow..." you breathed, "It's beautiful, a little gaudy, but beautiful."
"King Ludvig's tastes vere, vell eccentric. He actually had a theater set designer create the palace instead of an architect." Ludwig said. "I'll show you where you're staying."
You followed him up a several floors and through a couple hallways. You hoped you wouldn't get lost. Finally you reached a lovely dark wood door at the end of a hallway. Ludwig opened it and showed you in. It looked as decorative as the rest of the castle, with intricate carvings on the walls and large murals. A elegant chandelier hung from the high set ceiling. A full sized bed sat on the far side of the room with a set of table and chairs across from it. The colors of the furniture and curtains were blue and an emerald green and a massive rug stretch across the hardwood floor.
"This is your room." Ludwig said.
"Really? This is just awesome." you exclaimed.
You quickly hugged Ludwig using your good arm. He stiffened with surprise at first, but then quickly relaxed and hugged you back.
"Thank so much." you told him.
"You're velcome. _______."
He let go of you and started to leave, but turned back to look at you, "Get comfortable, I have to go make sure all the servants arrived and that preparations for dinner is on the vay. I'll come get you vhen it's time." he said.
"Alright, see you later then." you said with a smile.
He smiled back, a slight blush appearing on his face and then left.
You went over to the bed and laid on it. Everything was just perfect. Guilt again gripped your heart, but you pushed it away. Just for now, just for tonight you didn't want to think about spying or uncovering secrets. You just wanted to enjoy this moment.

I will probably end up being the beta tester. Brownings have long been my favorite guns. The only reason I do not own a hogstalker now is I have seen nothing but pictures of the gun. I am not going to buy any gun, even a Browning sight unseen. I can say this much the hogstalker is built for accuracy. But there are other factors one must consider when buying a gun. One needs to know if they can buy accessories to fit the gun, that magazines are plentiful and that the gun can be serviced or customized in the USA. I have paid less for good trucks than the cost of a hog stalker. If it is not all of that a hog stalker will not be in my safe.

I'm still settling in and adapting to this new aspect of my life called marriage. People frequently ask me, "So how's married life?" My answer usually includes the words, "It's an adjustment."
Winter arrived the other day, just in case you weren't paying attention. It really seems like we went straight from our 90-degree weather to pouring rain and wind from one day to the next, with no time to prepare.
Like many people, I'm fascinated by the idea of time travel. I'm the furthest thing you can get from a science geek but I get giddy at the theory that time travel is possible because it sets in motion all sorts of cool scenarios in my head, like where I would go and what I would do if it were possible.
Even though the weather has radically swayed from cold and rainy to hot and sunny - all within a few days' time - the cooler weather is definitely the signal that fall has finally arrived. Although I think there's something great about every season, to me, this is the best time of year.
Years ago, in another lifetime, October would be a month when I would be pounding a keyboard, getting pages and pages of copy ready … not for publication in a newspaper, but writing the annual Halloween production at the radio station I worked for at the time. For those of you who keep up with my life outside the newspaper walls through my column, last month I dealt with my family's move to a new (to us) house and some 'finds' unearthed through that event have prompted this month's topic.
My two youngest sons, ages 26 and about 30, took off this morning on a camping trip to Point Reyes and I hope they don't murder each other. They are so far apart in nature, argue constantly, and sometimes almost come to blows. I've heard this is normal for brothers. But why are they both so volatile? The least thing sets them off. Why can't they stay calm and equitable like their father, talk things out? Sounds like Professor Higgins.

With our youngest child in kindergarten, all three of our children are in school and while the boys have been doing this routine for a while now, this is new territory for our 5-year-old.

The newsroom at our office is what my colleagues and I call our "classroom." We sit with our desks lined up facing the "teacher" – our editor, Marg, who is in an office – and we do our "homework," a.k.a. producing material for the newspaper.
This week as I sat preparing my thoughts the words that keep cropping up are: What should I have done? or What would you do?Perhaps I should offer a little clarity on what has me so confused and perplexed.Recently, our family, along with some friends who were here on holiday, visited an area park for some outside activity.It is one of the newer parks, which our three- and six-year-old have come to love, so we were excited to share it with our visitors.When we arrived, the kids scattered in varying directions and so did we.

So much happens in a month. Regular readers are familiar by now with our column rotation, with a submission each week for the 'Perspective' page, myself the first week of the month, Dawn M. Henley the second week, Craig Macho the third week and Kim Van Meter the fourth week. If there happens to a fifth Wednesday, we let John Branch sneak in a column on this page as well.Typically there's a specific topic or event I comment on but this past month has been so busy that there are several issues to address.A big one is ...
On the day this column reaches the newsstands, my oldest son will turn 17. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that concept. Was it really 17 years ago that I brought that nine-pound, 10-ounce kid into this world? I guess so. When I look into his eyes, I see the boy he was, but when I pull back, I see the young man he's turning into.
In a past column I shared a little insight into my recent undertaking of helping with costumes for the Oakdale Community Theatre Production of "Annie" the musical.
As Good As It Got by Isabel Sharpe
My husband and I recently held a gargantuan, one-day yard sale. Due to our union, we had double, and in some cases, triple, of everything required to furnish a home. We had filled the shelves of the garage with boxes of items just for the yard sale, knowing that it wasn't even everything we needed to put out because we hadn't had time to address it all.
So I am not sure if acrophobia – the fear of heights – or vertigo – a feeling of sudden onset dizziness – are exactly what I experienced, but both seemed to play a role in my recent overnight trip to San Fran.
A few weeks ago Disneyland appeared to be Ground Zero for a measles outbreak that led to 17 identified cases in the US. Since then, at last count, there are now over 120 confirmed cases of measles in the country, possibly due to "satellite" outbreaks as those persons returned home from "The Happiest Place on Earth."
Due to the Monday President's Day Holiday, The Oakdale City Council will hold its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 16.

I've always been one who's active on Facebook, generally keeping a window open throughout the day to monitor social media, checking statuses, commenting, and keeping an eye open for a potential news story or two.

Crime Beat (Oct. 30)
Student charged with possession
Wichita Falls Police arrested a 17-year old student at Hirschi High School on Friday on suspicion of drug possession.
Melissa Ayala, address unknown, was charged with possession of a dangerous drug in a drug free zone, according to WFPD Public Information Officer, Harold McClure.
According to McClure:
An unresponsive student was taken to the school nurses' office for medical attention about 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
Officials believed the student had ingested an unknown quantity of pills.
The student's condition was not thought to be life threatening.
A police investigation led authorities to think Ayala had given the student the pills.
Police found a plastic baggie containing six white pills when they detained Ayala.
The pills were later identified as hydrocodone.

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Georgia Totto O'Keeffe was born on November 15,1887 in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, the second of seven children of Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida Totto O'Keeffe. Her father was Irish, her mother Hungarian. She spent her childhood years on the family's 600-acre dairy farm and she made her first drawings while attending parochial schools in Wisconsin and Virginia. She studied at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago during 1905 and 1906. Following that she went to New York City, attending classes at the Art Students League with William Merrit Chase and Kenyon Cox during the years 1907 and 1908.
In 1908, O'Keeffe moved to Chicago to work as a commercial artist. She initially supported herself by drawing lace and embroidery for advertisements. However, in 1910, when her eyesight began to suffer after a bout of measles, she gave up her commercial work and joined her family who had relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia; they had hoped that the warmer climate would be beneficial to Mr. O'Keeffe's health. Two years later she revived her interest in painting when she visited Alon Bement's art classes at the University of Virginia. Bement introduced O'Keeffe to the theories of Arthur Wesley Dow. O'Keeffe moved to Amarillo, Texas to teach art in a local public school. However in 1914 she returned to New York in order to study with Dow at Columbia Teachers College.
In 1915 she was teaching art at Columbia College in Columbia, South Carolina; she produced a series of abstract charcoal drawings there and her friend Anita Pollitzer showed them to dealer-photographer Alfred Stieglitz. He gave O'Keeffe her first solo exhibition at his avant-garde gallery, 291. During the same year, she began posing for him, resulting in some of the most remarkable photographs in history.
In 1924 she married Stieglitz who was sixty years old. They were very much in love and the photographs he took of her, which ranged from prim schoolteacher to provocative nudes, were a great poem of love. Yet throughout their marriage she remained true to herself. She wanted to live in the West; he would not live there, so she spent her summers in New Mexico and her winters in New York City with him. They wrote to each other regularly (3400 letters altogether) and he continued to show her work in his gallery. One aspect of their relationship that undoubtedly kept them apart was his refusal to allow her to have children. Gradually, their intimacy waned. In the summer of 1946 she received word while in New Mexico that Stieglitz was in a coma.
She returned to New York and spent the next day searching for a simple pine coffin. After tearing out its offensive pink satin lining, she stitched in one of pure white linen. She took two years to settle his estate and then moved permanently to New Mexico.
O'Keeffe first went to New Mexico in 1929 as the guest of famed patron of the arts Mabel Dodge Luhan. After Stieglitz's death she settled in Abiquiu, a house that was almost inhabitable but was high on a plateau and she had fallen in love with it and the surrounding countryside. After much negotiating, she was able to buy the property for $10. Since 1934 she had lived and painted at Ghost Ranch and she continued that practice while Abiquiu was being refurbished.
She stopped painting regularly when her eyesight began to fail in the early 1970s. Juan Hamilton, a sculptor and ceramist began working as her assistant and companion in 1972; he tried to interest her in making pottery, but was not very successful. He was a married man with two children, earnest and sincere although inclined to be arrogant. But he was a great help to her in every possible way and he worked for her for fourteen years.
O'Keeffe became more frail, less able to see; she had two nurses caring for her needs which were minimal. She died at the age of ninety-eight on March 7, 1986.

The Battle Over Georgia O'Keeffe's Multimillion-Dollar Legacy by Andrew Decker in

Days With Georgia
by Christine Taylor Patten and Alvaro Cardona-Hine
This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Born and raised in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Georgia O'Keeffe became one of the first American modernists, the first woman to gain recognition for that style, and a signature painter of Southwest landscape and structures. Although she was by far the most famous, other members of her family were artists including sisters Catherine Blanche O'Keeffe and Ida Ten Eyck O'Keeffe, and a grandmother, Mary Catherine O'Keeffe.
She went to the Art Institute of Chicago in 1905-06 and studied with John Vanderpoel. She then attended the Art Students League in New York under William Merritt Chase, Kenyon Cox, and F. Luis Mora. At this time in New York, she first became aware of modernist art. Although O'Keeffe was an award-winning artist at the League, she quit painting from 1908 to 1912 to work as a commercial artist.
In 1912, she attended classes at the University of Virginia and became aware of the ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow, well known art educator. She then went to Amarillo, Texas as the Supervisor of Public School Art and in 1914, returned to New York City and studied with Dow. She adopted his ideas that painting was a "filling of space in a beautiful way" (Baigell,
), and from that time, did abstract drawings and paintings, many of them spare in color and form.
Her talents were "discovered" by photographer-gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz, who saw that she got established with the New York avant garde. However, she spent two more years, 1916 to 1918, in Texas, heading the art department at West Texas State Normal School in Canyon. The landscape there inspired many colorful canyon and plains landscapes. Returning to New York, she married Stieglitz and frequently accompanied him to Lake George in upstate New York. In 1924, she began to paint the botanicals, which became a signature part of her work. In the 1920s, she also did a series of New York City skyscraper scenes.
In 1929, she first went to the Southwest and visited each summer until her husband died in 1946, when she became a permanent resident. She settled in Abiquiu and produced the landscape and architectural paintings for which she is best known. Her style is austere as was her lifestyle; she dressed simply and followed a regular routine that nourished her creativity. In her later years, she was assisted by sculptor Juan Hamilton, who encouraged her in sculpture and managed her business affairs and administered her estate after she died.
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe is an ongoing tribute to one of America's most unique artists.

Biography from
Thomas Nygard Gallery
From her birth on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin to her death in 1986 at the age of 98, Georgia O'Keeffe embodied the feminine principle and she herself became a symbol of the new uninhibited woman through her modernism and approach to life and art. Her works consisted of her abstractions; distinctive enlargements of flowers, leaves, and shells; landscapes of Lake George and New Mexico as well as New York cityscapes; and memorable skeletal compositions derived from the desert's detritus.
O'Keeffe's work had, from her earliest days as a professional artist, elicited comments like "revelation." When Alfred Stieglitz first encountered her abstract drawings in 1916, he responded immediately to their power. As recalled by one witness to the moment, "They were a revelation to him. He had long hoped that someday drawings with such feeling and candor would be put on paper by a woman. In O'Keeffe's work he saw a new expression of things felt, a new beauty." Stieglitz and O'Keeffe would cement their bond in marriage in December 1924. Prominent critics were similarly struck by O'Keeffe's works when they were shown at Stieglitz's gallery. William Fisher, for instance, praised the "mystic and musical drawings," which he likened to religious "revelations" in their "cosmic grandeur."
O'Keeffe first visited Taos, New Mexico in 1919 and from that point onward her art became more visionary, flavored with symbolism. She returned to New Mexico each summer, moving there permanently in 1946. She spent the rest of her life communicating the essence of the West on simplified, puritan, austere canvases. Her almost exclusively, unsigned canvases hold a profound beauty to all who experience them.
Georgia O'Keeffe's body of work represents all things "American" and the art world has positively responded to her efforts. Dozens of retrospective exhibitions have been held, as well as the 1966 show at Fort Worth's Amon Carter Museum and the exhibition in 1970 at the Whitney Gallery of American Art in New York. In 1995 the private Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico was conceived. The artist was also awarded several honorary doctorate degrees during the later years of her life. Her works are held by virtually every major museum in the United States and are also represented in many private collections.

Biography from
Nedra Matteucci Galleries
Georgia O'Keeffe was born in 1887 near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Her professional training began in 1905 with study at the Art Institute of Chicago and continued at the Art Students League in New York in 1907 where she studied with William Merritt Chase.
Between 1908 and 1912, O'Keeffe worked in commercial art. In the autumn of 1912, she became the supervisor of art in the public schools in Amarillo, Texas. After two years, with summers spent teaching at the University of Virginia, O'Keeffe left to study with Arthur Wesley Dow at the Teachers' College of Columbia University.
The year 1915 changed her life. She had taken a new teaching position at Columbia College in South Carolina, and her artistic style was becoming uniquely her own. She sent several charcoal drawings to her friend Anna Pollitzer in New York. Anna promptly took them to Alfred Stieglitz, even though O'Keeffe had told her not to show them to anyone. Stieglitz was impressed and decided to exhibit them, declaring, "Finally, a woman on paper!"
O'Keeffe's first one-person show was held in May 1917 at Stieglitz's 291 Gallery. O'Keeffe held two major exhibitions at Anderson Galleries in 1923 and 1924. The first of yearly exhibitions at Stieglitz's Intimate Gallery were held in 1926, the year of her first paintings of New York City. Summers in the 1920's were spent painting at Lake George until 1929, when O'Keeffe made her first summer trip to New Mexico. Stieglitz continued to exhibit her work at An American Place in New York until his death in 1946. Other exhibits were held during these years including retrospectives at the Art Institute of Chicago (1943) and the Museum of Modern Art (1946).
By the 1950's, O'Keeffe's permanent home was Abiquiu, New Mexico, although travel to many parts of the world occupied much of her time. She was intrigued with what she has called the Southwest's "wonderful emptiness." Indeed the Northern New Mexican landscape has become synonymous with O'Keeffe and her work. In 1997 the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe, the only museum in the country devoted solely to the work of a woman.
Georgia O'Keeffe was honored in her lifetime with many recognitions of her art and achievements. Awards include election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1963), Brandeis University Creative Arts Award (1963), election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1966), National Institute of Arts, Letters Gold Medal for Painting (1966) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977).
Biography from
Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers, IV
Georgia O'Keeffe was born on a farm in Sun Prairie Wisconsin and is one of the most well known modernist Western artists. She grew up in Virginia, and began her art education at the Art Institute of Chicago, studying with Vanderpoel from 1904 to 1905. She then studied at the Art Students League in New York.
The young artist began working in 1909 as an illustrator for advertising companies, then became supervisor of art in the Amarillo, Texas, public school system from 1912 to 1914. During that time, from 1913 to 1916, O'Keeffe was also an instructor in art at the University of Virginia, and for two years after that, head of the art department of West Texas State Normal College.
During that time, O'Keeffe had become the student of Arthur Wesley Dow, who led her to forms derived from nature and to subtle color contrasts. It was her future husband, and dealer, Stieglitz, who first presented her work in a 1916 exhibition. Her paintings were said to embody the feminine principle, and she herself became the symbol of the new uninhibited woman. When Stieglitz first saw the sketches of the young art teacher in 1916, he said "Finally, a woman on paper."
When O'Keeffe visited Taos, New Mexico, in 1919, her art became more mystical and visionary, flavored with symbolism. She returned to New Mexico each summer, moving there permanently in 1946.
She then spent the rest of her life communicating the essence of the West on simplified, puritan, austere canvases. "When she first saw bones on the arid earth of New Mexico, she thought of them as a kind of wildflower which had been purified by the wind and rain so that they evoked no association of death but rather a feeling of pristine splendor." Van Deren Coke,

Biography from
The Caldwell Gallery - I
Georgia O'Keefe studied at the Art Institute of Chicago (1905-06), Art Students League (1907-08) and at Columbia University (1914-16) as well as being awarded many honorable degrees from various universities.
She was one of the most important American Modernists, known best for her Southwestern landscapes of desert objects and flowers. In 1918, O'Keefe resigned from her position at West Texas College in Canyon, Texas to pursue painting in New York City after her work had been shown to Alfred Stieglitz.
Stieglitz organized O'Keefe's first exhibit at his gallery, An American Place, and continued to support and exhibit her work until his death. They were married in 1924 and O'Keefe painted her famous Manhattan skyscrapers the year after.
In 1929 she began to visit New Mexico in the summers and exhibited the first of her Southwestern works in 1930. She found inspiration for her animal pelvic bone paintings here in 1943 and eventually moved to New Mexico by 1949. The flowers that O'Keefe painted were usually seen from a frontal view with petals like human flesh. Her Southwestern paintings combine lush color with stark austerity and reveal many Mexican-American religious symbols. Bleached animal bones are arranged in canyon settings with crosses. Her work has had a lasting impression on Modernism with its amazing color harmony and flat patterning style.
Biography from Spanierman Gallery:
Recognized as America's most celebrated woman painter, Georgia O'Keeffe created a highly original body of work ranging from lyrical nature studies and depictions of magnified blossoms to striking portrayals of the dry, arid desert of New Mexico. Along with her husband Alfred Stieglitz, she was an influential member of the New York art scene during the 1920s and 1930s, playing a vital role in the development of modernism in the United States. Her formal inventiveness, coupled with her enduring love of nature, have given us some of the most beloved images in the history of American art.
Born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, to Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida (Totto) O'Keeffe, O'Keeffe spent her childhood years on the family's 600-acre dairy farm. She made her first drawings while attending parochial schools in Wisconsin and Virginia.
Intent on pursuing an artistic career, O'Keeffe studied at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago during 1905-1906, working under John Vanderpoel and others. Following this she went to New York, attending classes at the Art Students League with William Merritt Chase, F. Luis Mora, and Kenyon Cox during 1907-1908.
In the autumn of 1908, O'Keeffe moved to Chicago to work as a commercial artist. She initially supported herself by drawing lace and embroidery for advertisements. However, in 1910, when her eyesight began to suffer after a bout of measles, she gave up her commercial work and joined her family who had relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia.
O'Keeffe's interest in painting was revived during the summer of 1912, after visiting Alon Bement's art classes at the University of Virginia. An instructor from Columbia Teacher's College in New York, Bement introduced O'Keeffe to the artistic theories of Arthur Wesley Dow, a noted painter and printmaker whose style was influenced by Oriental art and aesthetics.
Later that year, O'Keeffe moved to Amarillo, Texas to work as an art supervisor and teacher in a local public school. However, in 1914 she returned to New York in order to study with Dow at Columbia Teachers College. As well as inspiring her penchant for abstract form, decorative patterning and harmonious colors, Dow instilled in her an enduring concern for "filling a space in a beautiful way."
Other seminal influences on O'Keeffe during this period included Wassily Kandinsky's recently published essay, Concerning the Spiritual in Art (1914), which stressed the importance of conveying the artist's inner emotions, and Arthur Dove's early nature abstractions, which she saw in Jerome Eddy's book,
Cubists and Post-Impressionism (1914)
While teaching art at Columbia College in Columbia, South Carolina in 1915, O'Keeffe produced a series of abstract charcoal drawings and watercolors inspired by her association with Dow. In January of 1916, her friend Anita Pollitzer brought them to the attention of the dealer-photographer Alfred Stieglitz, evoking the now legendary response "At last, a woman on paper!"
A champion of such modernist painters and photographers as Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin and Paul Strand, Stieglitz gave O'Keeffe her first solo exhibition at his avant-garde gallery, 291, in 1917. During that same year, she also began posing for him, their collaboration resulting in some of the most remarkable portraits in the history of American photography.
At Stieglitz's urging, O'Keeffe moved back to New York in June of 1918. In the ensuing years, he continued to exhibit her work at his various galleries, providing her with subsidies that allowed her to paint. In 1924, they married in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, the painter John Marin acting as witness to the ceremony.
During the late teens and 1920s, O'Keeffe painted nature abstractions based on the annual summer trips she and Stieglitz made to Lake George in upstate New York. She also painted views of Manhattan skyscrapers, exploring such formal concerns as light-dark patterning and flat planes. She went on to create such breathtaking urban nocturnes as "City Night" (1926; The Minneapolis Institute of Arts) and "Radiator Building-Night, New York" (1927; The Carl Van Vechten Gallery of Fine Arts, Fisk University, Nashville. Alfred Stieglitz Collection).
O'Keeffe had her first large solo exhibition at the Anderson Galleries in New York in 1923. The show, which featured one hundred oils and works on paper, attracted such eminent patrons and collectors as Duncan Phillips, who purchased The Shanty, a view of O'Keeffe's studio at Lake George. She also commanded the attention of critics such as Henry McBride, who went on to become of her most avid supporters. In his review in the
New York Herald
, McBride noted her bold and very personal vision, stating: "She is interested but not frightened at what you will say . . . It represents a great stride, particularly for an American. The result is a calmness . . . There is a great deal of clear, precise, unworried painting."
In 1924, inspired by the Precisionist photography of Paul Strand, O'Keeffe began painting close-ups of flowers and plants, allowing her simplified forms to fill the entire canvas, pulsating with the rhythms and energies of nature. While many critics and commentators interpreted canvases such as "Black Iris III" (1926; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The Alfred Stieglitz Collection) as sexual metaphors, O'Keeffe always denied the presence of symbolism in her paintings, preferring to focus on their formal qualities instead.
O'Keeffe made her first visit to New Mexico in 1929. Fascinated by the artistic possibilities of the parched empty desert, she visited and painted in Taos each summer. In 1949, three years after Stieglitz's death, she settled permanently in Abiquiu, forty miles from Taos. O'Keeffe's New Mexico subjects--sun-baked animal bones, canyons, mountains and churches--constitute some of her best known work. During the 1970s, O'Keeffe turned her attention to modeling in clay, creating hand-crafted pots that echoed the simplified shapes found in her paintings. Assisted by the ceramic artist Juan Hamilton, she also supervised the production of elegant, curvilinear sculptures based on plasters she had made earlier in her career.
Prior to settling in New Mexico, O'Keeffe had retrospective exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum (1927), the Art Institute of Chicago (1943) and the Museum of Modern Art in New York (1946). She had also been elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Important retrospectives of her work were organized in 1960 (Worcester Art Museum), 1966 (Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas) and 1970 (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York). Rediscovered by the women's movement of the 1970s, O'Keeffe went on to reap additional awards and honors including the National Institute of Arts and Letters gold medal for painting (1970), an honorary degree from Harvard University (1973), and the Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor, awarded by President Gerald Ford in 1979.
O'Keeffe died in Santa Fe in 1986. One year later, the centennial of her birth was commemorated by a major retrospective exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Her impressive accomplishments have been memorialized in the numerous books and catalogues that have been published on her, and by the establishment, in 1989, of the Georgia O'Keeffe Foundation.

Hello All,
Are any of my fellow OmniPod users out there on the Atkins Diet? I'm really thinking about trying Atkins, but I'm concerned about the possibility of having some major blood sugar lows. I'm sure that I would have to change my I:C ratio and make some other changes, but I'd really like some advice (and encouragement) from some OmniPod users who are also trying a low-carb diet.
Thanks for the info Kelleigh!!! I'll definitely get my hands on Dr. Bernsteins book. I need a diet plan that is catered to my diabetes. This might be a better option for me than Atkins.
I was on Medifast diet for a few months. This has max 50g of carbs a day. I am T1 on the pump.
Initially I just used way less meal boluses but basal insulin was the same.
From typical 50:50% ratio I turned into 80% basal, 20% carbs. Once I started loosing weigh I adjusted basal as well, but this was very gradually, nothing big.
Regarding your concerns of lows: If you have significant insulin resistance you may need reduction of daily insulin dose including basal insulin, soon after starting low carbs diet.
Good Luck
I've done various forms of low carb for about 12 years on an off, but my blood sugar is so much better when I am. My diet has morphed into something more like nutritional ketosis ala Phinney and Volek (shooting for <10 g carb/ 60 g protein and then whatever fat I need to be sated).
One thing I tend to do if I'm getting back on low carb and it's been a while is to undershoot a lot with my insulin for a couple of days and then bring it up as needed. You might want to do a very small amount of insulin before meals, like if you're fairly sensitive you might want to just try one unit, if not so sensitive maybe 2 or 2 1/2 and then test at 1, 2, and 3 hours post-prandial and adjust upward for next meal depending on how much higher than your target you were. I'm not terribly sensitive to insulin and I do 3 1/2 units for my afternoon meal (3 g carb, 24 g protein) and then for dinner I usually do 3 units (1-5 g carb, 30-35 g protein). For me, when I'm eating low carb, I don't even think in terms of I:C ratios because I'm eating so little carb that it doesn't make sense.
Another thing that might help in the transition is that you actually need to replace salt when you switch to low carb, maybe by as much as a couple of teaspoons a day. One nice way to do that is with chicken broth. I like to keep a pot of bone broth and have a mugful with a good bit of salt in it in the afternoon. It is shocking how satisfying it is (as apparently what I'm needing is salt, not so much calories). This can help you with the crappy feeling a lot of people get when their bodies are switching over from burning carbs to burning fat. When I switch over now, I almost don't feel it at all, which I think is part because I've learned the salt trick and partly because I think my body has just gotten better at it. At any rate, once you get past that crappy switch-over feeling, most people feel great and think it was totally worth it, so just remember it passes quickly if you do feel yucky.

text: Make your long flight more comfortableApr 4, 2000 (Updated Apr 10, 2000) When I fly, I normally fly overseas on flights of 10 hours or more. So I've picked up a few tips here and there, either from watching and talking to other travelers, or just on my own. My favorite airline is Singapore Airlines (SIA). Yes, they do cost a bit more than some of the international airlines, but I think the price is well worth the service they provide. First of all, make sure you are wearing comfortable clothing and shoes. If you are flying from a cold area to a warm area, layer your clothing. Same goes for warm to cold areas. Wear cotton if possible. Polyester clothing is uncomfortable after a while. I tend to wear jeans with a Tshirt, and then a long sleeve shirt over it. That way, I have the option of taking the long sleeve shirt off if I feel too warm. While sneakers are comfortable for trips, I never wear them on a plane. I wear slip-on shoes that I can easily remove. Keep in mind that your feet swell slightly on flights due to the air pressure and altitude, so make sure you are wearing shoes that aren't tight in the first place. SIA provides these wonderful little booties that you can put on over your socks so that you can wander the plane without your shoes. They may look funny at first, but you'll soon realize that there are 200 other travelers on the plane that look just as funny as you do. Another thing you can do to make yourself more comfortable is not drink carbonated drinks. Most of us love our Cokes and 7-Ups, but don't realize how bloated they can make you. Combine this with 9 hours of sitting in a seat, and you'll have one uncomfortable stomach. If you need to have a soda, have just one. Then take a short walk up the aisle to "walk it off". When you sit down, you'll feel much better and won't have the funny gassy feeling. Flying makes a person dehydrated, so make sure you drink lots of water. I tend to drink a lot of tea and decaf coffee. If you're dehydrated when you get to your destination, you'll feel lousy and won't want to do anything. Along the lines of food and beverages, make sure you find out ahead of time what sort of food your airline serves. Most airlines post this information on their websites. If their sample menu doesn't appeal to you, or you are on a restricted diet, make sure you contact the airlines 2-3 days prior to your flight and ask for a special meal. They offer options such a vegetarian, no-salt, non-dairy, Chinese, and kid's meals, among others. If you are flying with a child, definitely get the kids meal. If your child doesn't like the adult's meal, you would have nothing else on hand. Play it safe. You don't want to have a hungry kid with you for 7-8 hours! For your luggage, make sure you pack any valuables in your carry-on, or keep them on you. NEVER put your expensive items in your check-in luggage! What would you do if your grandmother's sapphire ring was in your luggage and your suitcase was lost or stolen? Keep them close to you where you can keep an eye on it. And never set your carry-on down and then walk away, even if it's just for a minute. There are people out there who prey on tired travelers on airports. Your bag will be gone before you know it. Pack an extra set of clothing in your carry-on, just in case. You never know when you might have to change before you get to your destination. I had someone spill red wine all over my sleeve once, but luckily I had a spare blouse in my bag. It's also good in case you get to your destination before your luggage does. Also keep a hairbrush, toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste -- when I have a short stopover, I go to the airport bathroom and brush my teeth in a real sink. I wash my face, brush my hair, touch up my makeup, and I look more presentable when I arrive than if I hadn't "fixed" myself up. I also feel more refreshed. These are just a couple suggestions to make your long flight more comfortable. I know I have done all of these and I am a lot more relaxed when I get to where I'm going. I feel better when I arrive, and so I enjoy my visit a lot more too. It's no fun flying 8,000 miles and then being too tired to enjoy your trip! |

The only disadvantage in linking /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts that I can see is that you lose some useful information by doing so. What do you lose? For example, if you use the "--bind" mount option or you do a lot of mounts via loopback (/dev/loop*), then you lose info about some of the special options used to mount a fs. Since I utilize a lot of this info for various reasons, linking /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts doesn't really work all that well for me. Anyway, take your pick. Each one has its advantages depending on your perspective. -- Cheers, Jeff -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe blfs-support' in the subject header of the message

1. Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Version Information
Related bugreports: #204340, #227351
Multiple vulnerabilities in ClamAV may result in a Denial of Service.
2. Impact Information
Clam AntiVirus is a free anti-virus toolkit for UNIX, designed especially for e-mail scanning on mail gateways.
Damian Put has discovered an out-of-bounds memory access while processing Petite files (CVE-2008-2713, CVE-2008-3215). Also, please note that the 0.93 ClamAV branch fixes the first of the two attack vectors of CVE-2007-6595 concerning an insecure creation of temporary files vulnerability. The sigtool attack vector seems still unfixed.
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to scan a specially crafted Petite file, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service (daemon crash). Also, the insecure creation of temporary files vulnerability can be triggered by a local user to perform a symlink attack.
3. Resolution Information
There is no known workaround at this time.
All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.93.3"

Colorado Restaurant Has A Furry New Regular
By editor
Originally published on Fri August 2, 2013 11:08 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
The Edelweiss Restaurant in Colorado Springs has a new regular: a six-foot-tall bear. Security video taken early Wednesday shows the bear standing on its hind legs, pulling a dumpster out of view. The bear dragged it 50 feet into the parking lot, turned it over and went to town on some German leftovers. Guess it was good, because the next day, he came back for more. Edelweiss is known for a traditional steak dish called ruladen. I don't know about the bear. I prefer schnitzel. It's MORNING EDITION Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A lot of women (no, not all) put effort into the little details of their appearance -- makeup, hair, nails, etc. Women that don't put effort into the aforementioned things probably put it into something else you're well able to notice. If you're considerate enough to see we've had our nails done or put on a dress or whatever it is that signifies we've made an effort, it makes us feel good when you verbalize that you notice. Most of the time, we've done whatever it is to feel (and look) pretty so that you'll give us a positive response. Small compliments go a long way.

Same on AdWords...related maybe? Anyone else have zero's for adwords? My campaign isn't big enough for my example to show this is a problem as well.
-Pete Edited: added AdWords comment.
They should reimburse us with a few extra % CPC for emotional injury!
[edited by: killroy at 12:16 pm (utc) on July 28, 2003]
Can anyone else confirm that adwords is showing zeroes?
I have checked a couple of my sites - one is <snip> and ads seem to be ok. You may have another problem if you aren't seeing ads.
[edited by: Woz at 1:19 pm (utc) on July 28, 2003] [edit reason] no URLs please. TOS#13 [/edit]
Still no stats though.
puny? my websites are changing the mankind as we know it, but I don't brag.... anyway, still adsense stats are not working. It is becoming annoying...
The internet has been playing up all day today though everywhere seems very slow, hope it is not a new server virus.
do you know that one of 2 grounders of Google comes from Ukraine (a country between Poland and Russia)?
[edited by: europeforvisitors at 1:50 pm (utc) on July 28, 2003]
CAN YOU SEE STATS of adsense now?
Yes, they were working fine when I checked about 30 seconds ago.
Ads have been displaying fine.
Very sensible
Anyone from Google reading this...
..you would save yourself a lot of negative PR if you tried this very simple suggestion on the AdSense account page ;)
It took them about as long to put in a mechanism to say "Hey, there's a problem today," as it did to fix the underlying reporting problem. I don't know if that was due to technical or process reasons.
So, we may in for occasional reporting outages, with no explanation being offered. Grrr!
(Still no stats at this moment; ads seem to be served up just fine.)
How come you <snip> can see adsense stats while others can't?

Comedian John Garrett, a former accountant who spends part of his time doing corporate sessions at public accounting firms, has certainly made his way around the country. If he's not been to your firm, you've missed out. What better humor is there than to laugh at ourselves?

With a couple months left in the summer, there's never been a better time to spend a day doing something for the community. So many public accounting firms, corporate employers and small businesses donate time, effort and money to numerous causes. Barnes Dennig, an accounting firm in Cincinnati, is one such firm committed to community improvements.
Our accounting profession does a lot for others. For those of you volunteering your time, brains, muscles, etc., all of us at Sift Media applaud you!
How much do you talk with your 1040 clients about saving money and basic financial planning? One CPA from North Carolina recently told me, "For my tax clients, mostly average income families, I would feel like I'm not doing my job if I didn't prompt their thinking about improving their short-term and long-term financial positions. Most of them don't save nearly enough."
Can you come up with $2,000 in 30 days without selling any possessions? According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, a whopping 47 percent say they couldn't dig up the dough. Sad and scary, especially for those who are uninsured.
Saving coins in a piggy bank was taught to me at an early age; however, I never saved 2,500 pennies. Jason West of Vernal, Utah used 2,500 pennies to pay a disputed $25 medical bill. This stunt resulted in a citation and subsequent fine. Geez, whenever I try to pay for my coffee entirely with coins I get the evil eye. 2,500 pennies? Hopefully your 1040 clients aren't paying you in coins!
When the Internal Revenue Service recently announced that its e-file service had reached the landmark of surpassing one billion individual tax returns processed, I immediately thought of the wise words of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Sure, most of us gripe about the taxes we have to pay, but Holmes' words carry weight.
"Taxes are what we pay for civilized society."
We all live in a great country. God Bless America.

According to a recent survey by Listserv, from 2009 to 2010, e-mail use by seniors rose 28%. During the same period, e-mail use by teenagers declined 59%. I think it's great that so many seniors are now active this way. I'm 45 years old and my grandfather uses e-mail every day! Of course, regardless of your age, escaping e-mail during the accounting workday is virtually impossible.
Please comment about your own e-mail usage (you don't have to use your real name if you don't want to). We're especially interested in your opinions about how you handle e-mail on the job, including billing for e-mail time, dealing with work e-mails on smart phones after hours and anything else you care to say.
We've all been witness to this scene: you're at a business function amongst peers, competitors and clients, when you spot someone who has had too much to drink. I'm all for having a couple of drinks, but there's a time and place to toe the straight line--and a business social event is definitely such a place, in my opinion. CPA Allan Boress has penned a great composition on the Bloggers Crew section of AccountingWEB. Do you agree with his "Drinkin' and Marketin' Don't Mix" commentary?
People with large estates were certainly thrilled by the changes that took place this winter.
As we near the Memorial Day weekend, it's time for a few observations.

You may want to group styles by their color as the roast of the malt affects pH which affects the mash conversion. You also have the sulphur/bitterness link, but that is another issue, although less important than pH. There are several water chemistry tools available that will build your water from any starting point (including RO) to any particular profile you want. I have one posted in the forum (link) and I know there are several others as well in the software forum. You can also find the water profiles for famous brewing cities throughout the world in several places on the web. Targeting the water of a specific city and knowing what style beer that city is famous for is a good place to start in creating brew water for a specific style.
What a lot of us I think would like is a basic chart with additions to brew different styles based on R/O water building. the tools I have looked at seem good for getting the additions needed to make a profile that is known to the builder, a lot of us dont know much more than the style, let alone the base profile to build up to. if I wanted to build water for an APA using a water tool, I feel like I would need to find the water profile for a brewery like say Sierra Nevadas water, then try to build from there entering all the minerals ect. if a chart was compiled it would be like a "waterbuilding for dummies" book. it doesnt need to be super detailed, just a jumping off point for those of us who are just getting into water science, to get us started in the right direction, then we can tweak using a water tool once confident enough to do so.
Shirts n Steins: Grain Reaper Brewing
This is a great idea. Water chemisty is aggregating to me. I now use brewing salt additions to my beer, but they are not precise. the salt additions on this potential chart will have to be in scale with a batch size. Like for a 5.5 gal or a 11 gal batch. I would be in for picking up a couple styles to research. Thing is how to we organize something like this? arturo7 maybe ill pm you and we can talk about this. Would anyone else want to contribute?
How about a chart that lists additions per gallon? Each user can scale it appropriately.
Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
Ya that would work. make the additions for only one gallon. We have 5 water salts we should include: Calcium Sulfate, Calcium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate. If we list these on the top of a graph horizontally and then list beer styles vertically on the left we can create our graph. But I would prefer if we didn't just list the mineral concentrations needed for that style, but go the extra mile and figure out per gram, how much of each water salt is needed to acheve the closest mineral concentrations for that style. We are going to have to assume an average city water profile, and a R/O system that will filter out...I think most R/O systems filter out about 90-95% of everything.
I think we can assume that all R/O water is the same, regardless of the input source. Anyone want to confirm or refute that?
Just found this. It is close to what we're talking about. Unfortunately, it is based on distilled, not R/O water.http://lyra.cs.virginia.edu:8080/~asb/beer/water.html
