Product DescriptionHammer Nutrition Perpetuem Endurance Fuel is the result of years of research and thousands of miles of testing in a variety of endurance disciplines. Perpetuem is Hammer's ultimate link to satisfying the body's fueling requirements no matter how long or difficult your exercise session or race is. What's in Perpetuem?Carbohydrates - As with all Hammer Nutrition fuels, no simple sugars are added to the carbohydrate profile. Perpetuem contains a specific maltodextrin, which provides nearly 87% of its caloric composition in long chain carbohydrates.Protein - A new calcium-enhanced soy protein isolate known as "XT" makes up nearly 10% of the caloric profile of Perpetuem, the same percentage as is cannibalized during long slow endurance workouts. This particular soy protein contains a very high amount of intact, cardiovascular-enhancing isoflavones.Fat - A de-oiled "super lecithin" (extracted from the soybean) is ideal for consistently and reliably fueling the body and maximizing energy production from stored fatty acids. Sweetener - Made from Energy Smart, the same healthy sweetener in Hammer Gel.One container has 16 servings of Perpetuem. It's ideal for workouts and races over 3 hours. Perpetuem comes in three flavors -- Caf? Latte, Orange Vanilla, Strawberry Vanilla, and Unflavored.

Strengths: None
Weaknesses: I was taught as a child not to put gross thing in my mouth, it's good advice in the case of this product. I don't know how any one gets past the taste of this stuff, every fiber of my body was telling me to stop drinking it. There are far better product than this stuff.

Date Reviewed: January 10, 2013
Strengths: I love Perpetuem. I've been an athlete all my life, but just got into distance cycling this past spring. My problem was stomach upset; I simply cannot eat anything on my distance rides (longest I've ridden at one time is 80 miles on a supported ride). Finally, I tried Perpetuem, and then use Nuun electrolyte tablets. Problem solved. I'm reading on this site a lot of complaints about the taste...What???? This tastes so good, I have to force myself to go slow in ingesting it. I make up a paste, and due to my body size, one serving lasts me 3 hours....I love the taste of all of them, but primarily use the caffe latte and use strong black coffee to make it into a paste. (I also use 1/3 part raw honey and 2/3's part pure maple syrup for my energy.) I grew up without white sugar or white flour and simply cannot tolerate junk food.

Strengths: Before I started to use Perpetuem I had problems with bonking and I also had muscle fasciculations after the ride. Bonking is no longer and issue and I even use it for shorter events as it prevents the fasciculations. I use of for cross country skiing and cycling. I like the ability to calculate the concentration that you will need for an event.
Weaknesses: Hard to dissolve but I just shake it up before I drink it. I find the taste quite tolerable. It can be hard to find in stores.

Strengths: Most people reviewing find it to work great
Weaknesses: I'm throwing my review out there in case anyone else is like me and finds this product doesn't work for them. This stuff tastes really bad and it gets worse as it warms up. Everytime I've tried to use it in long distance races(4+ hrs) I have to stop drinking it after the first hour if it gets to warm. To make matters worse, when it warms up it starts to make me nauseous and sick feeling in my stomach.

Strengths: It works and it works extremely well.
Weaknesses: The taste is reminiscent of soy milk. Not bad but it is there. The Orange-Vanilla is even more subtle.
Bottom Line:
I was tired at the end. I felt fatigue. I knew I had worked out. There was no sudden burst of energy or any feeling of additional energy. I was simply able to keep riding, turning the pedals to the end with a fairly consistant effort. And it is this that I think is what makes Hammer products so great. They don't add to the effort. They don't make things better, faster, and stronger Rather, they give the fuel your body needs and as long as you're willing to put in the effort, you'll achieve what you set out to do. Simply put, in order to actually get better, faster, and stronger, you need to put in the time, miles, and effort. This allows you to do that if you're so inclined.

Public Art
Standing at a podium in City Hall Park yesterday, May 23, 2012, beneath Paul McCarthy's ICBM-sized inflated sculpture of a Daddies ketchup bottle, Mayor Bloomberg crammed handfuls of popcorn into his mouth. His munchies were shared by hoards of hungry press, all of whom had gathered despite ominous skies for the unveiling of Public Art Fund's newest exhibition in the park, "Common Ground." Curated by PAF director Nicholas Baume, the sculptures remain on view through Nov. 30, 2012.
The inauguration kicked off with a choral performance by the children's choir of Saint James Church, a beaming procession of boys and girls in black and red robes who formed a circle, lay down on their backs and began to sing a haunting Latin hymn. When they had finished to resounding applause, proud parents furiously snapping photos, Bloomberg put the popcorn away -- someone called it his "special recipe" -- and said a few words.
"Some of you are probably wondering where Mommy's mustard is," he quipped, gesturing at the looming plastic condiment, "but the work behind me is actually not here to announce Nathan's annual hot-dog eating contest. It is Paul McCarthy's famous Daddies Ketchup, a sculpture that I hope will make us think and encourage us to laugh, along with all the other works in public art projects around the city."
Smiling for the cameras, he said little more before handing the mic to Baume. "It is important to consider the context with a public exhibition like this," the PAF director began, adopting a more serious tone. "I myself recently became a citizen in this country, and City Hall Park has great significance for thousands of people every day. Being here should remind us of our rights and responsibilities as adults in society."
After listing the ten artists featured in the exhibition -- Jenny Holzer, Thomas Schutte, Roger Hiorns, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Amalia Pica, Elmgreen & Dragset, Justin Matherly, Matthew Day Jackson and Christian Jankowski -- Baume explained that the parents of Argentine artist Pica were once detained for their beliefs, and added that the show should provoke us to contemplate our individual role in a democratic society. "This exhibition was created in homage to the power and the potential of the spaces we share -- our common ground," he said.
Finally he lightened up, turning to the three artists on site for the event -- a chiseled Matherly, a dashing Jankowski and a scruffy Day Jackson. "Working with artists like you," he concluded, grinning mischievously, "is the reason I have no hair."
Herewith, a preview of the show.
"Common Ground," May 23-Nov. 30, 2012, City Hall Park, New York, N.Y.

Steve Jobs: Timeline of the Entrepreneur
1955: Steve Jobs was born and adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, a machinist and an accountant, in Mountain View, CA.
1974: After one semester at Reed College, Jobs, at age 19, drops out and takes a job at Atari, but leaves shortly later to travel India. He did squeeze in one calligraphy course at Reed. "If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts," he said.
1976: Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak found Apple computer with a $250,000 investment from Mike Markkula, an angel investor who cashed in stock options from his tenure at Fairchild Semiconductor. Jobs recalled: "So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'"
1983: Steve Jobs recruited John Sculley, a VP at PepsiCo, to join Apple. To convince the PepsiCo executive to transition, Jobs famously asked Sculley: "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?"
1985: The relationship between Jobs and Sculley, who had recently been named Apple's "Dyanic Duo" by BusinessWeek, began to sour. Jobs tried to go behind Sculley's back to get him ousted, but Sculley discovered Jobs' ploy. Jobs left the company soon after and launched NeXT, a company that tried to build a computer to revolutionize higher education.
1986: Jobs buys Pixar for $10 million from George Lucas. Jobs said: "We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life...Life is brief, and then you die, you know?"
1995: Jobs becomes a billionaire after Toy Story is released, and Pixar goes public. "I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money," Jobs said.
1996: Jobs returns to Apple to become interim CEO after Apple purchases NeXT. In 2000, he becomes the company's permanent CEO, and will remain in this position for over a decade. "My job is to not be easy on people," Jobs has said. "My job is to make them better."
2004: Jobs undergoes surgery for pancreatic cancer. "So when a good idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100 people, get different people together to explore different aspects of it quietly, and, you know--just explore things," Jobs said.
2010: Apple releases the iPad touchscreen tablet, which quickly becomes one of the company's fastest-selling products. In less than two years, nearly 30 million units have been sold. "Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes," Jobs has said. "It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."
2011: In January, Jobs takes a leave of absence from Apple citing health issues. He resigns officially as CEO in August, but will remain chairman of the board. He said: "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come."

Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook, a networking tool used by college students to meet people, reconnect with old friends and arrange events. The company just redesigned its Web site and received venture capital.
Founded as Thefacebook in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Hughes, and Dustin Moskovitz at Harvard, the website spread across campus and, within a few weeks, over half the undergraduate population had registered. The website then
expanded to allow students from Columbia, Stanford, and then other Ivy League colleges to register. It became something of a network phenomenon, spreading rapidly to other schools, despite some competition from similar, local websites.

Muhammad Yunus earned the nickname "banker to the poor" by giving tiny cash loans -- often the equivalent of a few dollars -- to the poorest of the poor in Bangladesh. That simple idea grew into an international movement
so vibrant that Yunus was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Peace. Yunus earned a Ph.D. in economics at Vanderbilt University in 1969. He taught at Middle Tennessee State University before returning to Bangladesh in 1972 to teach economics
at Chittagong University. According to a now-famous story, his first loan was given to a group of very poor women from the village of Jobra in 1974; the amount was the equivalent of $27. Two years later, in 1976, Yunus founded the Grameen
Bank to make such loans on a wider scale, mostly to people with no collateral who would not be served by typical banks. The notion became known as microcredit, and as it spread to other countries it gave thousands of people the opportunity
to pull themselves out of abject poverty. Yunus and Grameen were jointly given the Nobel Prize in 2006. By that time the bank had helped more than six million borrowers, the vast majority of them women. In awarding the prize, the Nobel
Committee stated: "Lasting peace can not be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty. Microcredit is one such means."
Steve Young is a former quarterback for the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Los Angeles Express of the short-lived United States Football League. He was named the Most
Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXIX, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005, the first left-handed quarterback to be so honored. He holds the NFL record for highest career passer rating and won six NFL passing titles.
Steve is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is a direct descendant of Brigham Young.
Paul G. Yock, M.D. is the Martha Meier Weiland Professor of Medicine and Professor of Mechanical Engineering, by courtesy. Dr. Yock is Co-Chair of Stanford's new Department of Bioengineering and Director of the Stanford
Program in Biodesign. Dr. Yock is a Stanford cardiologist internationally known for his work in inventing, developing and testing new devices, including the Rapid Exchange balloon angioplasty system, which is the dominant angioplasty
system in use worldwide. Yock also invented a Doppler-guided hypodermic needle system, the Smart Needle and P-D Access. Dr. Yock is Director of the Center for Research in Cardiovascular Interventions, a Stanford facility that develops and
tests new technologies in cardiovascular medicine. The focus of Dr. Yock's research program is the field of intravascular ultrasound. He authored the fundamental patents for intravascular ultrasound imaging and founded Cardiovascular
Imaging Systems, now a division of Boston Scientific resulting from a 1994 acquisition for over $100M. In 1998 Dr. Yock developed a new interdepartmental and inter-school program at Stanford, the Medical Device Network (MDN). MDN helps
stimulate and guide the process of biomedical technology innovation within the University. Recently MDN has been expanded under Dr. Yock's leadership into a broader research and educational initiative, the Stanford Program in Biodesign.
MDN is now BDN, the Biodesign Network. The primary mission of Biodesign is to promote the invention and implementation of new health technologies through interdisciplinary research and education at the frontiers of engineering and the
biomedical sciences.

Myeloid and Monocytic Leukemia
What is the purpose of this trial?
This randomized phase III trial studies ;cytarabine ;and ;daunorubicin ;hydrochloride or idarubicin and ;cytarabine ;with or without vorinostat to see how well they work in treating younger patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ;cytarabine, ;daunorubicin ;hydrochloride, idarubicin, and vorinostat, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving the drugs in different doses and in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy is more effective in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

Oslo Governance Centre
The Oslo Governance Centre (OGC) works to position UNDP as a champion of democratic governance, both as an end in itself, and as a means to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. This is done through knowledge networking and multi-disciplinary team work, as well as through close partnerships with leading policy and research institutions in different parts of the world.
Our key areas of work include:
- Conducting systematic analysis and reviews of UNDPs governance work around the globe aimed at learning from experiences in the field;
- Based on the analysis and reviews, contributing to UNDP's programming and policy advisory services at the national, regional and global levels;
- Supporting countries to conduct nationally owned and driven democratic governance assessments that serve to strengthen democratic governance at the country level.
- Addressing new and emerging areas of democratic governance and building the capacity of UNDP's front-line staff to address these new challenges.
What We Do
Governance Assessments
Through the Global Programme on Governance Assessments, UNDP continues the work started on governance indicators in 2002. The Global Programme seeks to assist developing countries in producing governance indicators that enable national stakeholders to better monitor performance toward democratic governance reforms.
Analysis and Learning
The Oslo Governance Centre is mandated to codify, analyze and disseminate the lessons from UNDP's work in democratic governance, with a view to informing policy and programmes.
Browse our Latest Publications
Social accountability is at the heart of UNDP's work in democratic governance, and human development. Using examples from different contexts and regions, this guidance note provides an overview of social accountability principles and offers guidance on how to incorporate its practice into programming.

Women's political participation:
stepping up or stepping back?
Norway commemorates the 100th anniversary for women's voting rights in 2013. But have we truly committed to stepping up efforts to ensure gender equality world-wide, or are we stepping back in both formal and informal processes for political participation? Heba El-Kholy, our Oslo Governance Centre Director reflects on international tendencies and suggests concrete means to strengthen women's participation.

More on the OGC
UNDP established the Oslo Governance Centre in Oslo, Norway in 2002 as part of its global policy network for democratic governance, at a time when it had become clearer than ever that the fundamental issues of democratic governance are critical for meeting the Millennium Development Goals adopted at the Millennium Summit in 2000. The Oslo Governance Centre is an integral part of the Democratic Governance Group (DGG) in UNDP's Bureau for Development Policy (BDP).

The recipient of numerous literary prizes, including the National Book Award, the Kafka Award, and the Pushcart Prize, Ursula K. Le Guin is renowned for her lyrical writing, rich characters, and diverse worlds. The Wind's Twelve Quarters collects seventeen powerful stories, each with an introduction by the author, ranging from fantasy to intriguing scientific concepts, from medieval settings to the future.
Including an insightful foreword by Le Guin, describing her experience, her inspirations, and her approach to writing, this stunning collection explores human values, relationships, and survival, and showcases the myriad talents of one of the most provocative writers of our time.

The Family and Medical Leave Act and What it Means to You
Authored By: U.S. Department of Labor
- Contents
- > United States Department of Labor - Wage and Hour Division - Fact Sheet 28: The Family and Medical Leave Act More information from the Department of Labor Information from the Texas Workforce Commission. Click this link for information on what to do if you want to report a violation of the FMLA
The Family and Medical Leave Act and What it Means to You
From the U.S. Wage and Hour Division:
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons.
Covered Employers
The FMLA only applies to employers that meet certain criteria. A covered employer is a:
- Private-sector employer, with 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year, including a joint employer or successor in interest to a covered employer;
- Public agency, including a local, state, or Federal government agency, regardless of the number of employees it employs; or
- Public or private elemntary or secondary school, regardless of the number of employees it employs.
Eligible Employees
Only eligible employees are entitled to take FMLA leave. An eligible employee is one who:
- Works for a covered employer;
- Has worked for the employer for at least 12 months;
- Has at least 1,250 hours of service for the employer during the 12 month period immediately preceeding the leave*; and
- Works at a location where the employer has at least 50 employees within 75 miles.
*Note: Special hours of service eligibility requirements apply to airline flight crew employees. Please see the link below on airline flight crew employees for more information.
The 12 months of employment do NOT have to be consecutive. That means any time previously worked for the same employer (including seasonal work) could, in most cases, be used to meet the 12-month requirment. If the employee has a break in service that lasted seven years or more, the time worked prior to the break will not count unless the break is due to service covered by the Uniformed Services Employment and Remployment Rights Act (USERRA), or there is a written agreement, including a collective bargaining agreement, outlining the employer's intention to rehire the employee after the break in service. Please see the link below for more information on FMLA Special Rules for Returning Reservists.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate the level of phosphorus in your blood and to aid in the diagnosis of conditions known to cause abnormally high or low levels of phosphorus
When to Get Tested?
In follow up to an abnormal calcium level; when you have a kidney disorder or uncontrolled diabetes; when you are taking calcium or phosphate supplements
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or sometimes a timed urine collection (usually a 24-hour sample)
Test Preparation Needed?
Overnight fasting may be required for a blood sample; follow any instructions that you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Phosphorus is a mineral that combines with other substances to form organic and inorganic phosphate compounds. The terms phosphorus and phosphate are often used interchangeably when talking about testing, but it is the amount of inorganic phosphate in the blood that is measured with a serum phosphorus/phosphate test.
Phosphates are vital for energy production, muscle and nerve function, and bone growth. They also play an important role as a buffer, helping to maintain the body's acid-base balance.
Phosphorus comes into the body through the diet. It is found in many foods and is readily absorbed by the intestines. About 70-80% of the body's phosphates combine with calcium to help form bones and teeth, another 10% are found in muscle, and about 1% is in nerve tissue. The rest is found within cells throughout the body, where they are mainly used to store energy.
Normally, only about 1% of total body phosphates are present in the blood. A wide variety of foods, such as beans, peas and nuts, cereals, dairy products, eggs, beef, chicken, and fish, contain significant amounts of phosphorus. The body maintains phosphorus/phosphate levels in the blood by regulating how much it absorbs from the intestines and how much it excretes via the kidneys. Phosphate levels are also affected by the interaction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and vitamin D.
Phosphorus deficiencies (hypophosphatemia) may be seen with malnutrition, malabsorption, acid-base imbalances, hypercalcemia, and with disorders that affect kidney function. Phosphorus excesses (hyperphosphatemia) may be seen with increased intake of the mineral, hypocalcemia, and with kidney dysfunction.
Someone with a mild to moderate phosphorus deficiency often does not have any symptoms. With a severe phosphorus deficiency, symptoms may include muscle weakness and confusion. An extreme excess of phosphorus may cause symptoms that are similar to those seen with low calcium, including muscle cramps, confusion, and even seizures.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. If a timed urine sample is required, you will be asked to save all of your urine over a set time period (usually 24 hours).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Overnight fasting may be required prior to collecting a blood sample; follow any instructions that you are given.

As I go back and re-watch Longhorn gams, specifically to chart Houston, a few things really stood out. First the good stuff. He gets low. his leverage is exceptional. In the 3 technique, he gets under the pads of the guard and puts them at a disadvantage quickly. Also, he's much more athletic than he appears. Nice pass rusher from the inside and uses his arms really well to work through double teams. Not really a bull rush kind of pass rusher prefering to use his quick feet and solid technique. Houston does a nice job anticipating the snap count and getting off the ball quickly, and is strong in run support, especially in lateral pursuit. Physically Houston has a unique frame. He's stocky and thick, but I can't decide if he looks more like a 3-4 DE or NT at times.
Draft Status-Houston's ability to play multiple positions and do so at a high level means he's more than likely a mid-second round pick. If this wasn't such a deep defensive tackle class, he might be considered a first round prospect.
Final Analysis-Houston has really been moving up draft boards since the season ended. Watched the national title game again today, and the number of double teams the Crimson Tide gave him was a testament to his skills. Granted he didn't do very well beating the double team, which is a function of his strength, but regardless they wanted him accounted for in a big way. If he decides to belly up to the training table and put on a little more weight, I can certainly see him as a 3-4 nose tackle. But if he stays where he is, a DE in that same scheme would make sense. Obviously his build means he could play inside in a 4-3 as well, but dont be shocked if he's drafted to play that 5 technique in a 3-4 to take advantage of his pass rush ability. Of course with any big guy, effort and output are inconsistent and needs to be better, and although he is productive he's not as flashy or well known as other prospects which will push him down a little. But there's no doubt he can play.
Reminds me of: Glen Dorsey, DE Kansas City Chiefs-Similar builds, similar games between Dorsey and Houston. Dorsey was a high first round pick and Houstin will be a high 2nd. The most I watch Houston, the more Dorsey I see in him.

ActiveSOAP is essentially a small, lightweight XML router using the StAX pull parser API.
When an XML request is processed, the QName of the root element is extracted and then passed on to some Handler object for processing.
In the case of the SOAP protocols we have a SoapHandler which is capable of implementing the SOAP 1.1 or 1.2 protocols. This SOAP handler will then use the HandlerRegistry to find the handlers available for each SOAP header and then use the registry again to process each body element.
You can register an arbitrary handler against a QName or just provide a default body processing handler.
Support for REST and multiple SOAP protocols
This architecture allows us to support multiple different versions of SOAP concurrently as well as supporting pure REST based services.
Indeed we can support pure REST services both with and without the SOAP protocol at the same time, allowing you to use the SOAP protocol and other WS-protocols where they make sense for certain clients - or stick to pure XML REST services where the SOAP overhead is not worth the cost.
In addition since we're using StAX which you can then connect to any kind of XML processing tool (data binding, event based, DOMish) its up to you whether you use a heavyweight or lightweight technology, based on your needs.
With ActiveSOAP you only pay for what you need and can work with both REST and SOAP at the same time.

We came, we saw, and we were won-over by the ingenious designs and architectural talent on display at this years Solar Decathlon on the Mall in Washington DC. As if it weren't enough of a feat to design and build a zero-energy house which is ENTIRELY POWERED BY THE SUN, many of the student teams at this year's Solar Decathlon went above and beyond the mere zero-energy requirements of the competition to produce architecturally stunning houses that are as beautiful and livable as they are energy efficient.
Looking as if they stepped off the pages of a magazine, Germany's gorgeous Darmstadt House and Colorado's eye-catching CORE house prove that zero-energy design is simply not just an engineering or economic feat — but a design accomplishment as well. Inhabitat has been on hand at the mall in Washington DC to take it all in, and we've got tons of news to report and pictures to show. To see our photos of the 2 week long event, click here >

The artists in this show find inspiration "close to home" and can be identified by their own unique style. These plein air artists concentrated their work for this exhibition on the beauty of a landscape painting. In the body of work, each artist captures an element in nature and emphasizes that element as the subject and focus.
Dan Michael | A Pastel Painter
Dan's work always includes a ribbon of light. The artist explains, "These arrangements of pastel marks go beyond a mechanical process, they are orchestrated to try and capture the elusive qualities of light and atmosphere that display the extraordinary characteristics of common subject matter".
Kathleen Walsh | Oil Plein Air Painter
Kathleen is inspired by nature. She seems 'at home' when venturing out to capture a landscape. "Landscape is my guide. Nature the muse. Just being outdoors awakens the senses; melds surprise, consideration and wonder."
Amy HR Donahue | Oil Plein Air Painter
Amy is praised for the attention to detail in her work. She makes a small painting feel large! "Everywhere I travel scenes beg to be painted. Light and vivid color captivate me."
