The Paris Winter by Imogen Robertson: Review
Exploring the early days of feminism and revolutions in art

Everybody has their own Paris. There's the one near Montmartre; near the French Quarter; of the rich, the poor and any dozens of social strata in between.
And there's the Paris that existed at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1909: one on the cusp of change for art, for women.
For her fourth novel, The Paris Winter, Britain's Imogen Robertson creates a Paris she asks, to an extent, the reader to infuse with meaning. She uses this literary device: a fictional series of paintings, "Anonymous Treasures from the de Civray Collection" are displayed at the Serpentine Gallery in London. A catalogue describes these paintings, but the reader never sees them. Instead, they are described in detail and we interpret how we are going to visualize the Paris Robertson describes.
Robertson's first literary efforts have made a splash in the U.K. She won the Telegraph's First Thousand Words of a Novel contest — which became her first book, Instruments of Darkness. She went on to write a trilogy of thrillers and was shortlisted for the CWA Ellis Peters Historical Award 2011 and the CWA Dagger in the Library Award 2012.
If The Paris Winter is any indication, 2013 should carry on the string of good years. It's a well-researched, well-paced historical thriller that marries the worlds of art, early feminism and Paris.
The story starts with a "life-class in progress." English woman Maud Heighton arrives in Paris to study art in the early years of the 20th century. As with many of the characters in the book, there is more to her than meets the eye.
She's drawn deftly and complexly — partly a middle-class English woman who wants respectability above all and is willing to go hungry for it; partly a young woman who knows her own mind and will do whatever is necessary to gain the training to make a living for herself as an artist.
Through Yvette, the life model at her class and a fellow student, she's introduced to a part-time job — where, in exchange for acting as a companion to a young woman for the winter, she'll get room, board, some cash and the chance to continue at art school. From young artist starving in a cold rented room she'll suddenly be fed and warm.
It's a romantic vision, to be sure — and one that unravels rather quickly. Neither the young woman, Sophie, nor her charming husband, Christian, are quite what they appear.
As the paintings shape the narrative, so the characters Robertson creates allow her to give us a glimpse into the different worlds of Paris: Yvette, the life model, is from Montmartre. She's a girl of the streets. Tanya is a rich Russian, in Paris with her aunts as chaperones. She's expected to marry a rich, boring, rather insolent Russian man — but she's in love with an American journalist. The Countess de Civray is American, rich and loves nothing better than to show others her collection of art. Sophie Morel, purported opium addict, is the one really controlling the dysfunctional relationship with her husband.
These characters show us possibilities just opening up to women at the time — they provide Robertson with a way to explore and understand early feminism. They also provide her with a motive to take us through slums, the finest salons — even the city's sewers. We see "new" paintings by Picasso and references to other artists who peopled the Belle Epoque and influenced the rest of the 20th century.
If everyone has their own Paris, then Robertson's is a rich tapestry that provides the scope to encompass mystery, wealth, poverty, music, art, joy and desperation.

(Kazakhstan)–We begin today's newscast in Kazakhstan where it's being reported that the government authorities are putting increasing pressure on the church to register. Despite the harassment, believers continue to minister. In the last round involving harsh changes to the religion law, Christians revamped their approach. Bible Mission International's Paul Hagelgamns explains. "Churches, during the last year, really prepared themselves for working under the new law of religious freedom. They [wrote] to the government [about] what they [will and won't] do. They continue to do evangelism, children's ministry, working in plenty of churches." Although the law was rejected, Hagelgamns asks for prayer support. "It's a big need for the workers. Second, please pray that God will give wisdom and power for his workers. And third, really pray for churches in America, that churches will participate more and more in this ministry."

How to Reduce Stress in Daily Life
Images courtesy: ©Thinkstock photos/ Getty
The old saying that "Prevention is better than cure" certainly holds true for stress management. Regarded as a clinical problem, stress is experienced by almost every individual in varying forms and degrees every day. This is primarily due to the hassles, demands and frustrations of daily life. Besides this, you would also be surprised to find out that much of your stress is also due to a disorganized, and cluttered lifestyle. In small doses, stress can definitely help motivate and stimulate you to get things done. But, if the level of pressure gets too high, it might affect your mental and physical functioning. Here are a few ways in which you can reduce and eliminate stress…
What is stress?
Stress is regarded as a normal physical response that is experienced when there is an imbalance between demands imposed on us and our ability to cope with them. Contrary to what most people believe, stress is not necessarily harmful. For many people, stress acts as a motivation to help them perform better.
However, when the level of stress surpasses our ability to cope with it, we often feel hassled and drained. Also, it is vital to understand that the same amount of stress may be different for different people. Tasks that are easy for you to handle might be quite stressful for a second individual. Hence, identifying our stress level is as important as recognizing the triggering factors.
Stress Response: The stress response is your body's way of protecting you during conditions of emergency or extremely stressful situations. This theory dictates how an individual reacts to situations that are challenging – both physically and mentally. Whenever your body senses any kind of danger, it immediately triggers a rapid, automatic process called the "fight or flight" response or the stress response. This mechanism involves releasing hormones and glucose into your blood-stream to provide alertness and extra energy.
Major Causes of Stress or Stressors:
- One of the biggest causes of present day stress is financial problems. Lack of money can lead to many unwanted situations like piling up of debts, credit card payments and other such conditions. In fact, financial stress tops the list of stressors as it takes a heavy toll on your mind and body.
- Another major cause of stress is issues in the workplace like conflicts with colleagues, working for excessive hours or extra work pressure.
- Sometimes, stress may also arise due to relationship hassles or conflicts with spouses, children and relatives.
- Stress may also occur due to health concerns. Conditions like heart disease, hypertension or eye problems may become a major cause of life stress for many individuals.
Tips to Control Stress: In order to lead a healthy and stress-free life, it is vital to follow certain guidelines or steps. They will help you get a better control over life and alter the way you view stress or its trigger factors.
- Regular Exercise: Not surprisingly, exercise is one of the best ways to deal with stress. A regular 20-30 minutes of physical activity every day is vital to decrease stress hormones like cortisol and increase your body's feel good chemicals called endorphins. Besides this, certain forms of exercise like martial arts or boxing can act as an outlet for releasing all your vent-up emotions and frustrations.
- Relaxation Techniques: This not only involves taking time to relax everyday but also employing certain basic relaxation techniques. This involves deep breathing techniques, meditation and practicing different yoga postures to relax your body muscles.
- Balanced Diet: What you put inside your body also determines your ability to cope with stress or anxiety. A balanced diet comprising fresh fruits and vegetables is a must to reverse the negative impacts of stress and lead a healthy life.
- Avoid Stressful Situations: As far as possible, ensure that you avoid unnecessary arguments, conflicts or any other stressful situation. Try to keep yourself calm in every way and avoid indulging in unnecessary situations.
- Sleep: Finally, a regular 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep is also important to relax your mind and body. If you face any difficulty in sleep, you can also make use of relaxation techniques like listening to music or reading a book.

Then there's the bigger schtuff like Phals. and Epidend. that hang out in the living room ..... :-)
I'll try to photograph their migration inside.
Looks like a monkey might come swinging through any minute.
I see you have a lot of yours on flat boards. I have found a gold mine of such...a man at the end of our street turns old cedar fence boards into rough cabinets, shelves, and crafts of all kinds, so I have an endless supply of mounting boards for my orchids. They love the cedar fence boards, so much that I have had to up size the boards to accomidate their roots!
Thanks! :-)
The orchids on flat boards are as I got them from Andy's Orchids. The Hoyas and most of the other mounted orchids are on tree fern. Some others are on unidentified hunks o' wood. When the remnants of H. Ike brushed by two weeks ago, we got hundreds of pounds of weeping willow limbs and bark along with miles of wisteria vine for mounting planty things.
Somewhere in the kitchen garden is a small wooden monkey hanging from a basket.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN PLUS Pepper Tree Inn Santa Barbara
Pepper Tree is nice
I chose to stay at The Pepper Tree because of the reviews on this site.
I stayed for about a week. For Europeans, the hotel is a 3 star kind of place. Very, very clean but old-fashioned in design. The furniture appears new. The rooms can be noisy as they are arranged so that you park right outside them. The front desk staff was really pleasant and knowledgeable. I just booked anothe room there for my next stay in SB.
Pepper Tree - Great
The hotel and grounds are exquisite. Staff very helpful and polite. Food and Beverages in the adjacent restaurant were great.However, the Pepper tree is miles from downtown Santa Barbera. It is situated right at the West End of state street (which is around 9 miles long)If you want to get to downtown SB, you are looking at $15 cab, with more if you want to return late.With this in mind, if you want to stay on complex, great. If not, get a downtown/beach hotel.
Seems best bet on State Street
State Street is the main Santa Barbara road containing most of the motels. This appears to be the best there is on the road, and I can recommend it. The two pools are very pleasant and there are also jacuzzis and numerous loungers by the water. It is not walkable into the centre but that is the case with all of the other motels as well. My only criticism is that the decor is very flowery (bedding and wallpaper) but that is personal choice! It is a relatively old building but refurbished, apart from the very old room heaters.
Nice place to stay
I enjoyed our stay at the Pepper Tree Inn. The grounds are what make this hotel nice. The hotel has lots of flowers and two inviting tiled pools. The rooms are clean and have nice balconys that over look the pool areas. I have seen this hotel advertised for over $160 a night, I would not pay that much because the rooms are not anything special and the hotel is not within walking distance of the beach. Still, I would recommend this hotel because it does have charm and is in good driving distrance of the beach areas.
Rave reviews at Pepper Tree Inn
After many stays, The Pepper Tree still gets my vote for best hotel in SBA. The staff will jump through hoops to make it perfect. The property is beautiful and immaculate. Don't miss it!
Clean and comfortable hotel!
My husband and I found out about this place in our SF Chronicle as a "Highly recommended" hotel to stay in SB at very reasonable prices (compared to the downtown and beach of SB). Clean, spacious rooms with coffee maker, fruit, cookies, refrig and micro. Our room overlooked the pool and hot tub. Nicely kept grounds - very relaxing atmosphere! Nice hotel staff! Hotel is close to shopping, food, and the wineries and only 10 minutes from the action area of downtown! Recommend the "Wine Edventures" tour if you have the chance! Also, free parking!! Looking forward to our next stay at the Pepper Tree!
Great place to stay!
My line of work requires at least one overnight stay in Santa Barbara each month. During my 5 years working this company, I have had the opportunity to try a variety of hotels in the area. There is however, no comparison. These days I ALWAYS find myself looking forward to my stay at the Pepper Tree Inn. The friendly staff, clean rooms and beautiful gardens make it a wonderful stay. My wife even looks forward to my business trips. She plans her schedule in hopes to spend time in the heated tiled pool and hottub.
It's definately worth the stay!
Unexpected retreat
Great little full service inn! I was passing through Santa Barbara, stumbled across the Pepper Tree Inn, with it's beautiful pools, even enjoyed a massage! The best things were the little touches in the room, Laura Ashley sheets on the bed, coffee makers, hairdryers, irons...you name it, they've got it! If they don't have it readily available, you can call on their front desk staff and it will be in your hands in minutes! I highly recommend this hotel for business, romance, just passing through, you name it!!!!
Wonderful staff
I read the other posting re: this hotel...and the staff, I have stayed at the Pepper Tree Inn a couple of times, and have always been treated with the utmost respect. I have not dined at the restaurant, which perhaps is where the other guest had his/her problems...but the hotel itself is great! Their staff has gone out of their way numerous times to help me with work related issues. I hope that the last review does not deter any future guests from enjoying this great hotel!
Not Recomended for minorities, people of color
Nice Facilities, Great Pool,
Spa and Gym. Good Location.

Warner Bros. RecordsPrince has been sued for working with former Voice contestant Judith Hill in alleged violation of a recording contract she has.
Entertainment Weekly reports producer Jolene Cherry filed the suit, claiming Hill -- a backup singer who competed on The Voice in 2013 and was featured in the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom -- has a deal with her and Sony, but she worked with Prince in what amounted to a breach of her contract. Hill recently released an album, Back in Time, as a free download.
The lawsuit argues, "he people who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop her career and album and worked to position Hill for her first release (as well as those who co-wrote many of the songs) are sitting dumb-founded on the sidelines while Prince gives away their investment for free."
Hill's lawyer told Entertainment Weekly that the lawsuit is "nothing but a publicity stunt." He said, "Judith Hill was and is absolutely free to perform her music as she has done. She sued in New York on March 25 to confirm that she was free and to stop Cherry from continuing to bother her. Now in response Cherry counter-sues, in Los Angeles — improperly — even though a case is already pending against Cherry in New York. The Los Angeles suit is nothing but a publicity stunt."

Ben WattsJustin Bieber has been sued by an SUV limousine driver who says the singer assaulted him during an incident in late 2013.
The Toronto Star reports Abdul Mohar filed his complaint on Friday, seeking 850 thousand dollars in damages.
Mohar claims he picked up six men outside a Toronto nightclub on December 30, 2013. While driving the men to a hotel, he alleges, Justin punched him up to six times in the head because he refused to turn up the music inside the vehicle.
Justin was initially charged with assault in connection with the alleged incident. The charges were later dropped.
Justin's lawyer told the Toronto Star the lawsuit is "totally without merit."

Very fun show! Entertaining and had a great cast!! I definitely recommend it!! =)
star this review starred report as inappropriate
Great show with great performances!! Glad I got to see it.
California. The summer of '67. Benjamin has graduated at the top of his class, his parents are very proud and, since he helped Mrs Robinson with her zipper, his future is even more confused…
A cult novel. A landmark Hollywood film. A theatrical sensation, following sold-out engagements in London and New York. The Graduate, presented by Staged Cinema Productions at the Maverick Theater, is the first west-coast production since the close of the Broadway tour.
Based on the book by Charles Webb and the film, by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, The Graduate has been hailed by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times called it "one of the best social satires we've ever had," and in 1998, the American Film Institute named The Graduate the seventh-most popular movie of all time.

Strawberry and Raspberry Plants
New at this. Can you dig up runners or suckers right now (June 1) and pot them to sell, or is this a bad idea? I am just wondering because they are all over and I don't have much to sell right now, Thanks.
Yes, you can BUT...hold them for a least a week, 10 days to make sure they make the transition from being dug. Keep them in the shade till it appears as thought they are ok. Make sure if doing raspberry suckers, they are small. The tall ones will not make it...not enough roots to suport the top growth.
I have given thought to selling some but ended up thinking it could be a bad idea. The chance of spreading disease or selling diseased plants is something to think about. mine show no disease, but it could be there? Plants bought from reputable nurseries are gauranteed to be disease free and are regularly inspected.

Craig Stuart Nelsen
Mar 14, 2015
Craig Stuart Nelsen, formerly of Gaithersburg, Maryland, passed away peacefully in the presence of his parents at their family home in Fairhaven on March 14, 2015. He was 42 years old. Craig was a graduate of American University in Washington, DC, with Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Analytical Chemistry. He was employed as Senior Scientist and Research Scientist in firms in Alexandria, Virginia and more recently in Gaithersburg, Maryland. While at American University, Craig founded its Anime Society and has enjoyed this hobby throughout his adult life. He collected the earliest films up to the present and made a trip to Japan to expand his collection. For several years, he was a key staff member of Katsucon, an annual convention of Japanese culture enthusiasts in Washington, DC. He always looked forward to his time at the convention, and he attended his last in February. Craigs designation as a Cancer Warrior at Massachusetts General Hospital was well earned. He contributed to MGH and Dana Faber research by keeping copious notes filling several whole binders and taking many, many scans and MRIs to inform those doing research on his sarcoma, an outcome of neurofibromatosis (NF), in the hope of helping others who suffer from this incurable disease. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate any donations made in his name to the The Childrens Tumor Foundation (www.ctf.org). Craig leaves his parents, Captain Dean F. and Doreen F. Nelsen of Fairhaven, his brother, Derek Andrew Nelsen and his wife Jennifer Huang, and their two sons, Owen Shuyoh Nelsen and Benjamin Dinhjun Nelsen. Craig was the beloved grandson of Frank F. and Mary B. Sylvia of Mattapoisett and Adeline I. Nelsen of Nebraska, who are deceased. Aunt Nancy K. Paquin, lives in New Hampshire and Beverly J. Sylvia Grove, Colorado. Other surviving aunts and uncles are Dwight Nelsen and his wife Kay from Nebraska, Inez and Harold Richard in Arizona, and Linda Barker from Michigan. A brief ceremony with the family will take place Saturday at the Nelsen home, 23 Fort Street, Fairhaven. Craigs wish was to be cremated, and a memorial observance for friends and relatives from near and far will be held on his birthday on July 10, 2015, at the Nelsen residence.

This all sounds pretty darn cool to me:
By Paul Bond of The Hollywood Reporter
Get ready for more rides based on animated Disney characters that have yet to be seen -- and having them up and running at the company's theme parks within two months of the corresponding film's release.
John Lasseter, soon to be the Walt Disney Co.'s creative head of Imagineering, unveiled his quicker movie-to-ride timeline Friday at the company's first shareholder's meeting under CEO Robert Iger.
The event, at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim near Disneyland, was a happier affair than the past two, when former CEO Michael Eisner was under the intense scrutiny of disgruntled shareholders.
In contrast, Friday's affair was free of controversy, save for a shareholder question put to Iger about whether the company would ever put the cartoon classic "Song of the South" on DVD. Iger responded that, given the film's stereotypical portrayal of African-Americans, it wasn't a good idea.
Disney said in January that it would buy Pixar for $7.4 billion, giving control of Disney's animation studio to Pixar president Ed Catmull while Lasseter becomes chief creative officer.
Of his new role at Imagineering, where Disney rides are conceived, Lasseter said: "I never understood why you wouldn't start designing a ride when you start making a film, so two months after a film comes out you have a ride."
Along those lines, Iger stressed the importance of the Pixar acquisition and of animation in general, calling it "our biggest wave-maker."
The ripples of animation "can be profound," he said. "They can be felt across all of our businesses. Animation is not just our legacy, it's vital to this company and its future."
Disney's animated characters, Iger said, "become part of our culture. That's why they create so much value."
Disney chief financial officer Tom Staggs said that the Disney-Pixar merger should close in late April or May.
Meanwhile, board chairman George Mitchell, who was under fire at recent shareholders' meetings, was easily re-elected this time, and he plans to retire at the end of his one-year term.
Disney is still seeking a replacement, and there is speculation that Steve Jobs, who will be a Disney board member and the company's largest shareholder after the Disney-Pixar merger closes, is being considered. Iger, though, dismissed such a notion before Friday's meeting when he told a reporter that Jobs has not even expressed a desire to be Disney's chairman.
Jobs, who is CEO of Pixar and iTunes parent Apple Computer, was not at Friday's meeting, though his name received rousing applause when Mitchell said he would soon be a board member. Shareholders also cheered enthusiastically for Lasseter.
"I am so proud to be part of this company ... again," said Lasseter, who was a Disney animator before joining Pixar and directing or executive producing the megahits "Toy Story," "Monsters, Inc.," "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles."
He told of the early days of Pixar, a company named by Jobs after buying it from George Lucas.
"For the first 10 years we lost a lot of Steve's money," Lasseter recalled. He showed a clip from the upcoming "Cars," a movie he said he has been working on since 1999 and is a labor of love because his father used to manage a car sales lot.
Lasseter confided that, when he first learned that Disney wanted to buy Pixar, it didn't sit well with him -- until he got to know Iger. "Ladies and gentlemen, you are led by a great man," Lasseter said.
Shareholders elected all 13 directors with a minimum of 94% support for each, another sharp contrast to recent meetings, one of which had shareholders withholding 45% of their votes for Eisner's re-election to the board.
Iger said that ABC television shows, some of which are for sale via download at iTunes, would be offered for free viewing with commercials at ABC.com.
"The riskiest thing we can do is just maintain the status quo," Iger said, promising that Disney would aggressively embrace digital technologies.
The CEO even offered ESPN video cell phones, available for purchase for a few months now, at a 10% discount to the shareholders present at Friday's meeting.

Big Lots has canning jars now
Just visited the local Big Lots store in Peabody MA and they had a few stacks of regular mouth quarts, pints, and half pints (jelly jars), of the Golden Harvest brand. Prices range between $6.50 to $7.00 per case of 12.. get there early!
I love the Big Lot's store. It is only 2 miles from my house. I already bought 35 dozen lids and 6 dozen of the 8oz. jelly jars. The jelly jars have the fruit designs on them. I like them better than the Ball quilted. They have many stacks of all kinds of Golden Harvest jars and lids. I wish Golden Harvest would make wide mouth lids.
I didn't find a single box of lids at the local Big Lots. Unless Golden Harvest brand offers wide mouth jars, they may not offer the wide mouth lids. Most of mine are regulars, as they are easier to open when you have arthritis in your fingers
Thats what I also saw last year. I guess GH brand doesn't have the wide mought lids alone. These aren't too expensive (Ball brand) if you can locate boxes of more than a dozen. I think they can be bought as a bulk item too, or at least a case lot, from another source.

My education at Lake State taught me not only the basics of exercise science and health and wellness but prepared me for my future research career. I became involved in national organizations, improved my networking skills to create working relationships, and ended up with an amazing paid internship that turned into a 3-year research professional position at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, GA. Now in graduate school pursuing a doctorate degree at Virginia Tech, I rely on the knowledge I acquired at Lake State and put it to practice daily while discussing health-related topics in class or conducting obesity and inflammation research in our laboratory.

This is an unusual place that affords the kids and adults here a look at things that they might never be able to experience otherwise. It is a valuable asset to the education of our children.
Thorougly enjoyed it. Reasonable prices including the snacks there as well as giftshop. You can have a birthday party there also. Tons of scientific tests to do there. Really neat.
Beautiful center. Quite appropriate for function. Proximity to other landmarks and areas for entertainment was a plus.
As a retired elementary science teacher I love it.
Something all of our friends have enjoyed when we took them...lol!
We started bringing grandchildren to Sci-Port almost 15 years ago. We have a great experience every time, and so do our grandchildren. Our youngest is four. There is always plenty to do that children enjoy, and we enjoy trying out different things along with them. Very educational. Lots of fun.

We took our 2- and 4-year old there on New Year's Eve, where we enjoyed the ball drop. It was $36 for the four of us (I think the 2 year old was free), which I thought was kind of expensive for less than 2 hours of play. But they did have fun in the area designed for small children,...

A day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh congratulated Chief Minister K. Rosaiah on successful completion of Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) project, a civil society organisation described it as "old wine in a new bottle."
Citizens for a Better Public Transport in Hyderabad (CBPTH) demanded that the draft concessional agreement (DCA) of the project be debated in the Legislative Assembly, Council and at public for a before a deal is inked with Larsen and Toubro, which recently won the project bid. In this regard, CBPTH wanted copies of DCA be made available in Telugu and Urdu for the general public to assimilate the facts.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, C. Ramachandraiah, convenor, CBPTH, said GHMC stood to lose out on hundreds of crores of rupees as the rail system, by definition, includes rail-related infrastructure and real estate development (RED). As such, no local tax or charge can be levied on the project.
This means the corporation cannot levy building fees, property tax, entertainment tax etc. for many years.
CBPTH also pointed out that the project cost has now escalated by Rs.2,179 crore going by HMR's submissions in the High Court in 2008. Metro rail authorities submitted that a delay in the project will incur an additional expenditure of Rs.3.2 crore per day.

Product Description
It may be your greatest fear coming true or something you never thought would happen to you. Either way, breast cancer has entered your life and turned it upside down. Now you're wondering how you're going to make it through: Are you going to be alright? Is your family going to be okay? And where is God in your struggle? Has he deserted you?
Joni Eareckson Tada, herself a survivor of breast cancer, walks with you through the struggles and questions that naturally arise in the face of suffering and offers you hope through Christ. With the understanding, wisdom, and grace that comes from experience, she points the way to a deepening trust and hope in the God who provides daily grace and strength even in the midst of great suffering.
