looks to become a very good and interesting release.
Phoronix: Other Features Coming Up For Fedora 16
Yesterday we shared that Fedora 16 may use the Btrfs file-system by default on new installations. Beyond switching from EXT4 to Btrfs, there are also many other changes planned for this next release of the Red Hat sponsored Linux distribution...
looks to become a very good and interesting release.
Normaly I'm not so paranoid, but after watching Apple's cloud stuff I feel like that word is tainted.
I like the cloud concept, but I think it would be better if this cloud stuff were to be hosted on my own computer.
What would be interesting is having agressive cloud integration with my desktop, running cloud services under Linux. Also have an extra power down button, which heavily underclocks my computer so that it doesn't need active cooling anymore, but would act only as networked NAS with download features. For example telling to to download a torrent from my Android. SystemD could then aid in unloading all desktop services and loading upon pressing space bar or something.
Combine that with a P2P social network protocol that can also talk with Facebook and it's golden (for example only listening but not posting), and people being able to also see my social media through a web interface (website).
The distinct advantage in all the technologies including in Fedora including Cloud software is that it is all free and open source and hence you can run your own instance easily since it is packaged and readily available on the repositories.
Red Hat has a strong interest in making sure that there is good interoperability and freedom from lock in for its customers. Projects like libvirt and deltacloud and all the new things coming out from the team is explicitly targeted towards avoiding seeing a repeat of the mainframes control and vertical stacks lock in that has been so typical a decade or so back. It is as different from Apple as one could think of.
That's realy cool. But instead of buying a seperate server or having to leave my computer on at full power is not so great.
For example if I want to keep a social network thing running with the fans on I can't sleep at night and turning it off when I'm sleeping isn't that great either.
I believe Fedora would be a great platform to do just that; keeping the cloud services running on my desktop, but heavily underclocked and headless when I'm not using it.
This gives you all the advantages of the cloud, minus the disadvantages. Well... except for maintenance, but I am willing so sacrifice some downtime for freedom (Fedora is, after all, bleeding edge and not as well tested as Red Hat Linux).
If you want to see p2p based projects, you should invest on them. Donate to
Fedora is more well tested than Red Hat Linux was. I guess you mean RHEL there :-)
That's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks!
Do you have any details on this project? I see it's a protocol, but what is it? Just a protocol for web apps to request your data? Or a new protocol like reinventing the entire web with current web technologies? What it exactly about?
Briefly, it is a protocol for the web that separates application providers from the data providers and regulates and standardizes exchange. It will rely on client side encryption and DHT storage.

The CIA's role in the international drug trade, dating back to 1949, is not a theory but a well-documented "fact." The sources include former CIA and DEA agents.
"CIA are drug smugglers." - Federal Judge Bonner, while head of the DEA
In 1989, 'The Kerry Committee' found that the United States Department of State had made payments to drug traffickers, concluding that members of the U.S. State Department themselves were involved in drug trafficking. Some of the payments were made even after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies, or even while these traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies.
* Shortly after World War II, The OSS (the predecessor of the CIA) formed a strategic alliance with the Sicilian and Corsican mafia.
* During the 1950s, In order to provide covert funds for forces loyal to General Chiang Kai-Shek who were fighting the Chinese communists under Mao Zedong, the CIA helped the Kuomintang (KMT) smuggle opium from China and Burma to Thailand, by providing airplanes owned by one of their front businesses, Air America.
* During the long years of the cold war, the CIA mounted major covert guerilla operations along the Soviet-Chinese border. In 1950, for their operation against communist China in northeastern Burma, and from 1965 to 1975 [during the Vietnam war], for their operation in northern Laos, the CIA recruited (as allies) people we now call drug lords.
* Throughout the 1980s, in Afghanistan, the CIA's supported the Mujahedin rebels (in their efforts against the pro-Soviet government) by facilitating their opium smuggling operations. - A small local trade in opium was turned into a major source of supply for the world markets including the United States. This lead ultimately to Afghanistan becoming the largest supplier of illicit opium on the planet, a status only briefly interrupted when it was under Taliban control.
* Also during the 1980s, the Reagan Administration funded a guerrilla force known as the Nicaraguan Contras (even after such funding was outlawed by Congress) by cocaine smuggling operations. - An August 1996 series in the San Jose Mercury News (by Pulitzer Prize-winner Gary Webb) clearly linked the origins of crack cocaine in California to the CIA and the Contras.
Follow this link to an electronic briefing book compiled from declassified documents obtained by the National Security Archive. It includes the notebooks kept by NSC aide and Iran-contra figure Oliver North, electronic mail messages written by high-ranking Reagan administration officials, memos detailing the contra war effort and FBI and DEA reports. The documents demonstrate official knowledge of drug operations and collaboration with, and protection of, known drug traffickers. Court and hearing transcripts are also included.
* In November 1996, a Miami grand jury indicted former Venezuelan anti-narcotics chief and longtime CIA asset, General Ramon Guillen Davila, who was smuggling many tons of cocaine into the United States from a CIA owned Venezuelan warehouse. In his trial defense, Guillen claimed that all of his drug smuggling operations were approved by the CIA.
* The Dirección Federal de Seguridad was a Mexican intelligence agency created in 1947, and was in part a CIA creation. DFS badges were handed out to top-level Mexican drug-traffickers and were a virtual license to traffic.' "The Guadalajara Cartel" (Mexico's most powerful drug-trafficking network in the early 1980s) prospered largely because it enjoyed the protection of the DFS, under its chief Miguel Nazar Haro, a CIA asset.

Man tries robbing store with cattle prod
Accused robber thwarted when clerk pulls gun
UPDATED 10:13 AM EST Jan 11, 2013
A Florida man who police say tried robbing a convenience store with a cattle prod met his match when the clerk pulled a gun.
Lance Tomberlin, 26, went into the store outside Tallahassee last week and demanded money, shocking the clerk several times with a cattle prod, The Associated Press reported.
Tomberlin fled when the clerk pulled a handgun.
Deputies stopped Tomberlin's truck, but he escaped on foot.
Tomberlin was arrested Tuesday and charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery, according to the AP.

The color teal has long been valued for its uniqueness, versatility and ability to impact powerful color combinations. Ancient Persians believed it could ward off evil. Egyptian cultures appreciated this deepened shade of turquoise as an emblem of trust and faithfulness. It reminded Tibetan monks of the enormity of the sea and the sky. For Native Americans, teal was connected to water and fertility, and this lovely, mysterious color offered hope for a prosperous future.
Today, teal represents the perfect combination of blue and green and the equally excellent pairing of down-to-earth qualities and sophistication. Because both men and women appreciate this color, it has been welcomed into fashion, jewelry and interior design. While it has the individual strength to stand alone, teal also works willingly with a variety of other colors to produce customized results.
Teal is popular in the fashion world because, like most blues, it looks good on everyone. Even in nature, it is a part of the dress code for the very fashionable male peacock, especially when he is "strutting his stuff." When added to brown or black, teal lightens the mood slightly and adds a layer of mystery or complexity. Whether worn as a single outfit or an accent, this color somehow adds a level of sophistication and richness to any look. On the other hand, fun-loving teal jeans are one of the popular fashion trends this year.
When it comes to jewelry, blue and turquoise zircons are popular choices in this color family. Shades of blue topaz and the color-enhanced blue diamond are lovely in rings, necklaces, bracelets and pins. Two other blue-green choices are Indiocolite and Paraiba tourmaline.
Because of its versatility, teal is also a popular wedding or special-event color. It is appropriate for all seasons and all times of day or night. When paired with white, it creates a striking winter-wedding palette. Blend in chocolate or taupe for a fall event. Pale pink, lavender, cream and coral are the perfect choices to balance a lighter shade of teal for a beautiful spring or summer wedding. Teal-colored decorations are ideally suited for outdoor events and tropical themes or locations. Because of its current popularity, there is no limit to the amount of fabrics and accessories you can find in this color, and decorating will be fun and easy.
Teal is no stranger to the world of art and interior design. Simply darkening or lightening it can slant the color towards its feminine or masculine side. A retro design is as simple as adding a strong pink, and art deco happens when you throw some black and white into the mix. Mix teal with light pink and you have a room that is delicate enough for a little girl. For a southwestern U.S. feel, combine teal with terra cotta, silver, grey and tan colors. When energy and creativity are your focus, mix teal with orange or yellow colors. This combination is also ideal for a sports-theme design.
Its versatility may explain why color designer Irene Turner has named teal her "Color of Choice for 2012." It is certainly a fitting match to Pantone's "Color of the Year," Tangerine Tango. Together, they are a powerful combination. Expect to see teal cropping up everywhere this year. Maybe it's time to bring some of it into your home and wardrobe.

"Seresto collar"
Use this on my shihtzu who cannot handle topical flea treatments and I'm odd to give anything oral ... he's had it on now for a year and a half and STILL no fleas nor ticks and trust me, we've tested it out .. as we're hikers and take him all the time ... and we live on 5 acres surrounded with trees and grass. Our pit mix also wears one and she stays WET during the summer and loves her pool ... and she too, goes hiking ... as with any treatment .. you have to be responsible at home as well .. treat the areas around your home and their beds .... we live in the south so cleanliness and keeping areas tidy and pest free is also a good way for most treatments to be effective .... :)
"Seresto collar"
I have used these collars for 3 years now. It appears to be effective against fleas but I don't have a problem with fleas much in my area. I can say that for ticks they are amazing. I live in a heavy tick area and my dog is in brush a lot tracking. This collar is well worth the price and really does last the amount of time advertised.
"I heard about this product from my vet"
I heard about this product from my vet. Cringed at the price BUT we put it on my cat(at the vet, had an appt AUGUST) who was loaded with fleas(in 16 yrs she has never had them or very few, house cat) By the time we got home (30 Minutes) she had stopped scratching. SHE Is still wearing it!!!!!
"Poor Quality"
purchased from vet with the promise of no ticks for 8 months (give or take) but would have been happy to make it until September. On in May with 1st tick removed June 10. Shocked that Bayer produces this inferior product. Prevent Tick works and this junk has been replaced for $13 - old faithful!
"more expensive is not better"
i thought buying the most expensive collars would put my mind at ease with the fleas on my 4 dogs.they never had them that bad but didnt like doing the drops every month or trying to remember the date to do them so i decided to go with the collars that would last up to 8 months.purchased them around march started seeing my dogs scratching in may gave them a flea dip thinking the collars had not kicked in yet saw my older dog who is 14 losing her balance alot so checked her again and she was covered again in fleas really bad this time my fault for not checking my dogs more often. it was a 256.00 mistake for believing what i read. ive removed all collars from my dogs they are no good and will not purchase anything like this again to bad they dont have a refund on these types of things i feel they owe me my money back
"not good"
I bought this collar from our Vet. I put it on our 4 month old Yorkie one evening and the next morning she was really sick. She threw up 4 times, wouldn't eat, and was lethargic. We took the collar off and the next day she was better, no more throwing up.
"great results"
Worked for 8 full months on my Brittany, even durring hunting season where he was wet at least twice a day. Ordering a replacement as this one is now almost 10 months old.
"amazing product"
I have13 dogs. I have always hated flea collars but after my vet told me about these I thought I would try them. So glad I did! After adding up the savings of these versus topical treatment I saved a fortune. The best part is my dogs and house are flea free!! My dogs coats are softer andthe few that had flea allergies and were losing hair now have their fur back! No more digging and scratching. Will definitely reorder in a few months! Love them and so do my babies!!!
Overall easy to use! I bought 04/24/13 my dog had fleas on 09/27/13 worked for 5 months.
"not 4 every dog"
We live in the middle of the Great Smoky Mountains and the fleas & ticks are abundant. However the Seresto works great, no fleas no ticks and no side effects. Our dog is a short haired Lab-Terrier mix, 3 months on and the prevention is great.
"Awesome "
I got this for my 2 cats best thing ever! No fleas, they don't scratch anymore. Took one cat a few days to adjust to having a collar on. My mom is going out and buying 2 for her cats. Both of us are very impressed. Still have 5.5 months left but so far so good
"Working on 3 Dogs!"
I have bought 3 Seresto Dog Collars. 2 were put on Jack Russell Terriers and 1 was put on a Rat Terrier. I put the product on in the Middle of March and there haven't been any fleas or ticks on any of the dogs. The collar is a little strange in the design. But the collars have already paid for themselves since I haven't had to buy monthly flea & tick applications.
"no quality"
this collar is made from cheap material. split around the tab after 3 weeks - now it is torn into. impossible to contact manufacturer - push buttons and hold - after 20 minutes. i gave up. a total waste of money.
"Great so far!"
We bought a rat terrier puppy & could not keep the fleas off of him. We treated the yard & used frontline & Adams spray & he still had new fleas everyday. We bought this product from the local pet store & within two days he was flea free. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because he's only had it for a month so I don't know if it last as long as they say.
"dont buy"
This collar was placed on my dog after 2 weeks ,she would not eat. And would throw up her food. Took it off and she was able to keep food down after the day.

A Comparison of something with worth to something without. Originated in ages past when doughnuts were extremely cheap. Chiefly used as a comparison for odds purposes as in the example.
Party A Betting "100 dollars to doughnuts" against Party B would pay a winning party B 100 Dollars, versus 100 doughnuts (vastly cheaper than one hundred dollars) paid to a winning Party A.

America's 11th President. Known as "Napoleon of the Stump"
James K Polk made sure sure the tariffs fell, made the English sell the Oregon Teritory, built an independent treasury, and after this he sought no second term

The most badass President in history. When elected, he said that he will only serve one term and promised to make the US a continental power. In four years, Oregon, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Texas, and parts of Wyoming were part of the United States. He died three months later. He could kill a man by just staring at him.
Who was the most badass president in US history? James K. Polk!!!

The State of Human Trafficking in California 2012
Nov 20 2012
Download right click "save as"
As part of the state's first anti-trafficking law (AB 22, Lieber), the California Alliance to Combat Trafficking and Slavery Task Force reviewed California's response to human trafficking and offered findings and recommendations in a 2007 report to the Governor, Attorney General, and Legislature. California has made tremendous progress in combating human trafficking since the Task Force released the Human Trafficking in California report, but significant new challenges in combating this crime have emerged in the last five years.
In January 2012, Attorney General Kamala D. Harris created a Human Trafficking Work Group to examine the nature and scope of human trafficking in California in 2012; to evaluate California's progress since 2007 in combating human trafficking; and to identify challenges and opportunities in protecting and assisting victims and bringing traffickers to justice. The Work Group included more than 100 representatives of state, local and federal law enforcement, state government agencies, victim service providers, nonprofit groups, technology companies, and educational institutions. This report reflects the Work Group discussions held during three day-long meetings in Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as supplemental research and investigation by the California Department of Justice.

Peralta eyes return to form against Reds
Cincy tabs Arroyo, who's been excellent through the second half
Wily Peralta struggled against the Reds in his last outing, but he will get his chance at redemption when he pitches on Saturday. The Brewers took the opening game of the series with a 6-4 win.
This season, Peralta owns a 1-3 record and 5.11 ERA in four starts against Cincinnati. That one win was a three-hit shutout. But he allowed seven runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings against them on Sunday.
"I think if I had better command with the fastball today, something else would have happened," Peralta said after his last start. "That's what I'm trying to do, just keep the ball on the ground, and if they hit it right at people, we can get a double play and get out of the inning. These kind of days are going to happen -- they're going to find a hole for a base hit."
It has been an up-and-down year for Peralta, who is in his first full year in the big leagues. In July, he allowed nine earned runs in 38 innings. He's allowed 10 runs in 18 2/3 innings this month.
"Almost every single young pitcher that comes through the big leagues goes through this stuff," manager Ron Roenicke said. "All the good ones, if you look back at what they did, they scuffled somewhere in their career, and usually it's the first year or the second year."
The Reds will send to the mound Bronson Arroyo, who has been strong since the All-Star break, minus one disastrous start. While he didn't have his best stuff in his last outing on Monday, he was able to earn the win after allowing three runs on seven hits in six innings.
"I was just struggling a bit, physically," Arroyo said. "Some days, you go run a marathon, and a third of the way in, you're like, 'I don't know how I'm going to make it to the end of this road.' That's the way I felt tonight, but fortunately enough, I made some big pitches in some big situations in the first five innings."
Brewers: Gindl recalled from Minors
The Brewers recalled outfielder Caleb Gindl on Friday after he was optioned on Aug. 14 and spent the minimum 10 days at Triple-A Nashville.
Gindl hit .300 (9-for-30) with a homer and six RBIs in seven games for Nashville. He's batting .282 in 32 games for Milwaukee this season.
"He didn't get sent down because he wasn't doing well," Roenicke said. "He got sent down because we had a couple issues with our pitching that we needed to have another pitcher, so he was the guy we sent down. I explained that to him. I think he knows that. He went down, he played hard."
Reds: Cingrani may miss next start
Tony Cingrani's latest bullpen session was cut short by Reds head trainer Paul Lessard on Friday, reducing the odds that the lefty's back injury will improve enough for his next start on Sunday.
"He said it was still uncomfortable," Lessard said. "Why keep going if it's uncomfortable? I said, 'OK, we're done.'"
Cingrani strained his right lower back in his start on Tuesday and exited after pitching only 3 2/3 innings. If he's unable to pitch on Sunday, the Reds could summon right-hander Greg Reynolds from Triple-A Louisville, who is 12-3 with a 2.32 ERA in the Minors.
• Jonathan Broxton had season-ending surgery on Friday to repair a torn flexor mass in his right forearm. His rehabilitation is expected to last about six months, which would put his return close to the start of Spring Training in 2014.
Worth noting
• The Reds have won or tied seven of the last nine series against the Brewers.
• Since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on July 23, Khris Davis entered Friday ranked fourth in the National League with a .370 batting average in that span. He went 2-for-3 with two homers in Friday's game.

Thanks for heads-up Michael!
The wait is justified, everyone knows how GCN is different. What is not justified are still low performance (yes, even now) and bad power profiling... Even 260 gtx + proprietary nvidia is faster, than a raw 3x faster 6870 card when comboed with opensource drivers.
If anyone can practically implement them, he is welcome to setup a kickstarter project with a few thousands bucks as a thanks. I am more than sure, the radeon users will help out.
If you are not hot at moneymaking by selling cards via means of a good driver,.. don't forget that option, guys.

It's well-known that exercise is very beneficial for healthy individuals, increasing cardiovascular and muscular fitness, improving mood, controlling weight and lowering the risk of systemic hypertension and heart disease. Exercise may help lower the risk of chronic illnesses such as diabetes. There have also been several published articles showing increased walk distance in PAH patients undergoing cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programs.However, relatively little is known about the risks and benefits of exercise for pulmonary hypertension patients. Exercise is important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but the symptoms of PH under exertion make it difficult for many patients to find the right type of activity. Many PH patients become short of breath under mild to moderate exertion, but feel fine at rest. Those who experience shortness of breath at rest or very mild exertion must be very closely monitored, as exercise can induce fainting, excess stress to the right side of the heart, and other problems.Because of the varying severity of PH from patient to patient (and other health-related factors), recommendations on exercise for PH patients are different for each individual, and may change over time depending on symptoms and response to treatment. Your PH specialist can help you create an exercise program that works for you. Always speak with your PH doctor before performing strenuous labor or beginning an exercise regimen.
If approved to perform an exercise regimen, follow these guidelines to have a safe and enjoyable workout:
Consensus Statement on Exercise by the PHA Scientific Leadership Council Read these general guidelines on exercise for PH patients before considering an exercise regimen.Live Well, Get Moving (PDF)Physical therapist Chris Wells offers tips on maximizing the effectiveness of exercise and offers a sample exercise program (not to be substituted for an individual evaluation and regimen provided by your doctor).Lifestyle Modification and Exercise Dos and Don'ts (PDF)Quick tips for getting the most out of your workout.
What To Expect During Pulmonary RehabilitationBasic overview of pulmonary rehabilitation from the NHLBI.
Alternative Forms of ExerciseA PH specialist provides recommendations for PH patients in alternative forms of exercise like yoga.
Ask a PH Specialist: What is exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension?
PH Professional Network's (formerly PH Resource Network) Barbara Smithson, RN, MSN, talks about how exercise affects the body and the specific limitations that go hand in hand with having PH in this webinar, Exercise and PH: The Risks and Benefits.

Rana Awdish, MD, and Patricia Fantuz, RN, BSN, of the Henry Ford Health System, received a PHA Lantos Grant to create a modified yoga program for PH patients. Check out the free program:

The Red Bull KTM Ajo team celebrated a three-way podium in the final race of the inaugural Moto3 Grand Prix season in Valencia Spain on Sunday with Danny Kent of Britain stealing victory from teammate and World Champion Sandro Cortese in the final corner and Zulfahmi Khairuddin, who also set a lap record, in third.
Moto3 Grand Prix finished the season as it had begun with plenty of drama right down to the wire. With the championship already in Sandro Cortese's bag it might have been just another out in on the Valencia circuit but the competitive nature of the small class was never going to let that happen. The final dash to the finish was just as hard fought as it has been throughout the season.
Before the race, pundits had speculated that the main action as going to be between Luis Salom (KALEX-KTM) and Maverick Viñales (Honda) to settle who would take the minor championship placings behind Cortese and while this did play a role, the action was always going to be up the front end of the field. Salom finished behind Viñales in the race but still had enough points to give his second overall.
Cortese took an early lead in the 23-lap race on the rain-soaked circuit and held onto it right until the last corner. He admitted after the race that he didn't realized Kent was so close behind him going into the finishing straight. "I was in the front for 20 laps. I looked at the big screen and I thought I had enough advantage to take the win then Danny got me in the last corner."
The German rider still leaves the season showered in accolades. He sealed the first ever Moto3 GP World Championship and wrote himself into the MotoGP statistics as the rider with the biggest number of podiums in a single season in the small displacement bikes! Cortese won in Portugal, Germany, San Marino, Malaysia and Australia and was on the podium in 15 of 17 races. Both he and Kent advance to Moto2 next season.
Danny Kent said he had a good feeling with the bike all weekend but admitted he 'had a moment' with South African Brad Binder (KALEX-KTM) near the end of the race. "Then I just pushed a bit more in the final corner," he said. It was Kent's second win after his first in Japan. It was also a great weekend for rookie Binder who ended on a high note with fourth place, his best result of the season.
Certainly this unluckiest rider on the Valencia track was Jonas Folger (KALEX-KTM). He rode into pole position in Saturday's qualifying only to experience technical difficulties in the sighting lap on the rain soaked circuit. The Aspar team managed to get the bike back and started in time for him to start the race from the pit lane but Folger had to retire five laps into the race. The young German has had a great second half of the season after joining the Aspar team at the half way mark. Since then he has constantly been a podium contender and picked up his first GP win in Brno, Czech Republic.
The season has been a hugely successful one of KTM after the Austrian manufacturer re-entered the MotoGP competition in the new Moto3 GP category. KTM had previously withdrawn after the phasing out of the 250 and 125 cc classes.
Pit Beirer, KTM's Head of Motorsport, speaking from the Valencia circuit said it had been a wonderful way to finish what had been a great season. "Fantastic to finish with three boys in the podium in the last race but we have great riders, a great Moto3 bike and a great team under Aki Ajo," he said. "I want to express a big thanks to Aki, all of his team and everyone back at KTM in Austria who have given us this great bike. Now we are already working on the future because Sandro was actually riding the new 2013 Moto3 GP bike this weekend. We wanted to use this chance to get feedback."
KTM was also the clear winner in the Manufacturers' Standings finishing with 346 points, 40 points ahead of FTR Honda!

This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Born at Canton, New York, Frederic Remington became the foremost turn-of -the-century illustrator, painter, and sculptor of western action-packed subjects with cowboys, Indians, horses, soldiers, and other frontier characters. His style was realistic, and much of his work was narrative with strong implication that the West belonged to the white man, but his Indians were portrayed with dignity and nobility.
During his lifetime, Remington created about 25 bronzes with the most famous being "The Bronco Buster", and one of the largest being the cowboy statue for Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. He also did about 3000 paintings, some which he burned towards the end of his life.
Remington was the son of the local newspaper publisher, and in 1878 entered the Yale School of Fine Arts for one year, excelling at football and art. Because of his father's death, he could not afford to return to school, so he traveled West and made numerous sketches, selling one to "Harper's Weekly." He studied for a short time with J. Alden Weir, a founder of American Impressionism, at the Art Students League in New York, but did not stay there for long because he had little patience for formal schooling.
In the next years, he made many trips to the West and Plains States and worked as a cowboy, ranch hand, lumberjack, and gold miner in Apache country in Arizona. He also sent illustrations back to "Outing Magazine," "Harper's Weekly," and "Scribners." Publishers used everything he sent them because his experiences were so fascinating to easterners. He also illustrated articles by Theodore Roosevelt for "Century Magazine" and for Frances Parkman's novel, "Oregon Trail." During the Spanish American War, he was an artist-correspondent in Cuba. Other travels were to North Africa, Mexico, Russia, Germany and England.
Regarding himself always as a fine artist, he regularly sent paintings to New York City from the West for exhibition at the National Academy of Design and the American Watercolor Society. He also exhibited in New York galleries including the Knoedler Gallery, where he had his last public show in 1926.
He was ever-fascinated by the motion of horses and took many photos of them in the newly invented roll film box camera. He painted and sculpted the animals often, frequently at full gallop, but always juxtaposed them with human figures, never drawing single horse portraits. The same was true of his landscapes, which invariably had human activity in them. In 1895, he began working in bronze and cast his famous work, "The Bronco Buster." He became so enamored of sculpting that his painting quality deteriorated.
His early paintings of the West were much more literal depictions than his romanticized later ones of the disappearing West. In his later years, he preferred to paint nocturnes because it allowed him greater freedom and depth of perspective.
For his bronze sculpture, he used the foundry Roman Bronze Works, the first foundry in the United States to devote itself exclusively to the age-old lost wax method. Foundry owner Ricardo Berteli and Remington worked closely together to explore technical and creative aspects of casting bronze.
Because Remington is so associated with the American West, it may be surprising that he spent time with Augustus Saint-Gaudens and others in the artist colony in Cornish, New Hampshire. He almost bought property there, finding the fellowship of the community very stimulating.
He died in 1909 at Ridgefield, Connecticut from an appendicitis, when he was age forty eight. From 1886 to six months before his death, his home had been in New Rochelle, New York where he had a large studio.

Frederic Sackrider Remington was born on October 4, 1861 in Canton, New York and brought up in that small town in northern New York, the son of a local newspaper publisher. From a very early age he showed artistic talent. In 1872 the family moved to Ogdensburg, New York, where Frederic was enrolled in a military academy at the age of fifteen. In 1878 he convinced his parents to let him take art classes at the newly formed School of Fine Arts at Yale University. He soon became discouraged with the tedious routine of academic art instruction and turned his interest to athletics; a tough fellow, he soon won respect as a boxer and adulation as a star varsity football player.
Remington's father died in 1880; the same year Frederic quit Yale after less than two years. His love of horses drew him westward. Remington had an amazing capacity to make himself at home in whatever group he joined. In the East he was at home in the best clubs, a gourmet who appreciated rich food and elegant conversation. But whenever he crossed the Missouri River, he became a frontiersman. In 1885 he studied briefly at the Art Students League in New York City. He began a career as an illustrator, achieving great fame as a specialist in cavalry life in the West and later in cowboy and Indian themes. Having exhibited paintings since 1887, he was elected an associate member of the National Academy in 1891.
He experienced frontier America from Canada to the Rio Grande; the horses he loved were key figures everywhere he went, depicted in every manner of action. Then Remington discovered that New York editors were hungry for black-and-white pictures to accompany the weekly stories in national magazines. He was a fine sculptor as well as a good writer and artist. He executed all his sculpture in the last ten years of his life. It is tragic that Remington was only forty-eight when he died as a result of uncontrolled obesity. In December of 1909, he died the morning after Christmas from a ruptured appendix.

Biography from
Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery
Frederic Remington was born on October 4, 1861 in Canton, New York to a prominent family. He was related to Western portrait artist George Catlin and cowboy sculptor Earl W. Bascom. Frederic grew up during the Civil War hearing epics from his father of his life in the cavalry. His early attempts at art were drawing and sketching soldiers in uniform on horseback. It was also the influence of his father's newspaper business that taught Remington how to capture a story to illustrate his romantic version of the West and its struggles.
From a very young age he was drawn to the West and enjoying the great outdoors hunting, fishing and hiking. Remington's father expected Frederic to earn a college degree, so in 1878 he enrolled at Yale's School of Fine Arts. His father passed away a year and a half into his studies, and at that time he went to Montana to try out life on a ranch. He only lasted two months before he left there and used a small inheritance to buy a sheep ranch in Kansas. That endeavor lasted only about a year, and Remington married his childhood sweetheart, Eva Adele Caten, in 1884 and moved to Kansas City to invest in a hardware store and a saloon.
Not enjoying the hard life in the West, the Remingtons moved back to Brooklyn, New York in 1885. Frederic studied briefly at the Art Students League, but spent a great deal of his time traveling to Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. He was becoming well known as an illustrator for magazines such as Harpers and Theodore Roosevelt's serialized articles for Century Magazine. The subject matter was almost exclusively his mythic sketches of the Western frontier, cowboys and the military. He would even self-assign reporting missions to the West, resulting in many articles both written and illustrated by Frederic Remington. In 1888 he won the Hallgarten and Clark award at the National Academy of Design exhibition. The following year he was awarded the silver medal at the Paris International Exposition.
It was during the mid-1890s when Remington began to learn and quickly master the medium of sculpture. His initial attempts were using the sand cast method that was traditional at the time. But after being introduced to the lost wax process all of his subsequent castings were done using that method.
In 1898, Remington interrupted his sculpting to go to Cuba as a war correspondent and illustrator reporting on the Spanish-American War for Harper's and New York Journal. He witnessed the assault on San Juan Hill by American forces led by Theodore Roosevelt and others. This experience caused Remington to become deeply disillusioned by the reality of war and how appalling rather than heroic it was. Upon his return, he retired for a time of healing at an island retreat he owned on the St. Lawrence River. It was here that he did some of his best sculpting work. He became known for not only the detail and dramatic movement in his pieces, but for the life-like portrayal of his subjects.
In a career that spanned less than twenty-five years, Remington produced more than 3,000 drawings and paintings, twenty-two bronze sculptures, a novel, a Broadway play, and over one hundred articles and stories. John Ford's film "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" was inspired directly by Remington's work. The "Marlboro Man" in the well-known cigarette ad was one of Remington's illustrations. His legacy is more about a portrayal of the heroic figures who settled the West and their life-and-death struggles, rather than so much about what he experienced personally on his journeys. He gave Americans stories about what they wanted to see in themselves - independence, bravery and optimism. Even though he only actually lived in the West for only a year, he inspired a love of the West and is reputed to be America's most popular nineteenth century artist. Frederic Remington passed away in 1909 at the age of forty-eight following an emergency appendectomy.

Biography from
Thomas Nygard Gallery
Frederic Remington was born on October 1, 1861, in Canton, New York. From a very young age, Remington showed artistic inclinations. His school notebooks were full of sketches, often depicting Old West characters and equestrian figures. Remington's fondness for horses also materialized at an early age. As a boy, he was an accomplished rider, a skill imparted by his father who had been a cavalry officer during the Civil War.
In 1872, the Remington family moved to Ogdensburg, New York, where young Remington was enrolled in a military academy at the age of fifteen. His fervent desire to become an artist convinced his parents to let him take art classes at Yale University in 1878. After an initial period of enthusiasm, Remington soon became discouraged with the tedious routine of academic art instruction and turned his interest to athletics, becoming the Yale boxing champion and a member of the football team.
Upon the death of his father in 1880, Remington quit Yale and decided to try to make his living as an artist. He spent five years traveling in the West, during which he decided to commit himself to the artistic representation of the history, people and traditions of the "Old West." Remington befriended anyone who could afford him additional insight into his obsession. He talked to cowboys, saloon keepers, Indians, soldiers and settlers. He became a close friend of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and was often invited to stay at his famous ranch.
Remington moved to New York City and began working as a freelance illustrator and studying at the Art Student's League. His first accomplishment as a professional artist came in 1882, when one of his sketches was published in the February 25 issue of "Harper's Weekly". He began to get regular commissions and by 1887 was supporting himself well. That year, he produced several important easel works. He exhibited a painting at the American Water Color Society Show and another at the National Academy of Design Exhibition.
The following year, in 1888, he won two prestigious awards at the National Academy: The Hallgarten Prize and the Clark Prize. Remington had finally achieved full success in his field and he was deluged with commissions. By 1890, his stature and wealth allowed him to buy a mansion in New Rochelle, where he built a large studio and stocked it with his collection of western artifacts. His fame and wealth continued until his death at the age of 48.
Biography from
Nedra Matteucci Galleries
A New Yorker by birth, Frederic Remington's famed career as the quintessential Western artist, was launched by a marriage proposal. The father of the prospective bride refused his daughter's hand to as feckless, improper artist. Remington headed west, partly to forget and partly to show that he was a true artist of worth.
At 21, Remington inherited $9,000 from his father's estate, bought a small ranch in Kansas and with several other men eventually purchased a saloon in Kansas City. Even though he was cheated by his partners and lost considerable money, Remington had indeed been selling some paintings and drawings of his own, and he felt confident of his eventual success to return to New York, there marrying Eva.
However, with his inheritance gone, Remington found it hard to make a living on the sale of his paintings alone and began to illustrate for Outing Magazine, Harper's Weekly, Youth's Companion and Century. The Century articles were written by Theodore Roosevelt, and the collaboration was eventually published in book form. Immensely popular, the book contained ninety-nine Remington drawings and greatly furthered his career.
Remington lived in New York but repeatedly traveled west and was an observer of many historical events such as the battle at Wounded Knee. Not only did Remington record these events with pen, ink and paint, he wrote about them. The artists/journalist became a war correspondent to Cuba in 1898 where he witnessed the capture of San Juan Hill. Remington called himself a historian by virtue of his collected magazine articles, illustrated by himself, and wrote two historical novels, John Ermine of the Yellowstone and The Way of the Indian. He also completed illustrations for his friend Owen Wister's Done in the Open.
In 1909, at the height of his fame, Remington died of appendicitis at the age of forty-eight. His death did not diminish the popularity of his drawings, paintings and bronzes and in the years since, his works have been used to constantly illustrate the history of the American West.
Biography from
Altermann Galleries and Auctioneers, V
Frederic Remington's art so completely dominated the popular imagination concerning the West in his lifetime that historians are still coming to grips with its legacy.
Born and raised in Canton, New York, Remington enrolled in the Yale Art School before traveling west in 1881 in order to work on a ranch. Two years later he purchased land in Kansas and attempted life as a sheep rancher, but eventually was drawn more and more toward a career as an artist. Remington knew that there was a growing national awareness of the West as a uniquely American region and of the mounted horseman as its symbol. Moving to New York, he went to work for Harper and Brothers and became their most popular illustrator in a very short period of time. He embarked on a regular series of assignments that took him back to his beloved West, where he sketched and gathered material that would find its way into his voluminous writings, illustrations and paintings of life on the frontier.
Many of his earliest sketches and paintings depicted Apache conflicts and their great chief, Geronimo. These tightly rendered and dramatic depictions are accentuated by the brilliant and dusty colors reminiscent of the desert. Remington's later style involved an increasing looseness in his brushwork; painted in short, occasionally broad strokes, one senses the dash and flair that Remington was able to transmit a story, elevating it to the status of art. "It is hardly possible to convey in words an accurate idea of the panic and terror spread throughout the country by Apaches on the warpath," Remington wrote in an unpublished manuscript. "I have been in towns when yellow fever and cholera were first announced and have seen the panic-stricken flight of the people; but have never seen anything so terrify and paralyze people as the near approach of these bloodthirsty outlaws."

Biography from
The Coeur d'Alene Art Auction
Frederic Remington was born in Canton, New York, where his father was a newspaper publisher. As a boy he sketched the horses, Indians, cowboys and soldiers he dreaded about. When he was seventeen, he was one of the first two students to enter the Yale University Art School. In 1880 Remington's father died and the ensuing inheritance prompted him to leave school. He worked briefly at several office jobs, but could not settle down and grew restless and headed west with his easel, paint and brushes to find his "Pot of Gold". He spent time working as a cowboy and sheep rancher, prospecting for gold and fighting as a soldier against the renegade Sioux. He studied and sketched the land around him with almost photographic eyes. His subjects were of prime importance, and his heroes were the everyday people of the frontier. He insisted on realism in every detail. He took a serious interest in art, entering the Art Students League to improve his technique. Success did not come quickly; by the early 1890s his paintings began to win prizes and he became in great demand as a magazine and book illustrator. In 1895 his first sculpture, "Bronco Buster", won instant acclaim. After achieving both wealth and notoriety, Remington moved to a Connecticut farm, where he established a library and art gallery and surrounded himself with his western artifacts and memorabilia. He died suddenly from an attack of appendicitis in Ridgefield, Connecticut, at the age of forty-eight.
Biography from
William A. Karges Fine Art - Beverly Hills
Frederick Remington was born in Canton, New York, in 1861. His formal art instruction was brief. He had one year of study at Yale's school of art, and brief study with American Impressionist J. Alden Weir at the Art Student League in New York.
Most of Remington's time was spent out west, painting for exhibitions, and submitting illustrations for easterners hungry for a glimpse of the American West. Because Remington lived the life he painted, he was an especially interesting figure to the editors who purchased his works. Once he had achieved a comfortable level of financial success, Remington focused his energies on lost-wax sculptures, further exploring the western theme that brought him fame.
He died suddenly of appendicitis at his home in Connecticut at the age of 48.
