Thanks for your support!
We'd like to send a huge and heartfelt Thank You to everyone for supporting the 24th Annual Sky Valley Chamber Auction on April 4, 2015! It was a great evening and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. We will have the resources to keep the Visitor Center going forward.
We want to especially thank our sponsors:
- Coastal Community Bank
- Everett Community College
- Monroe Parts House, NAPA
- Wagley Creek Automotive
- Werner Paddles
We couldn't even begin to do this event without the valuable donations from all of our generous people. The dessert dash brought in over $1700 thanks to the amazing bakers in the Sky Valley! The creative nature of the folks in the Valley really shined through by looking at the costumes in attendance. Chamber President Brian Copple had a great time playing Klingon. Congresswoman DelBene was surprised to learn that her district included two Klingons. Elizabeth Emmons put Brian's speech on YouTube 'Klingons in the Sky Valley'. While the presentation was funny the message was very genuine!
Thank you for believing in the work that we are doing to build a strong Sky Valley economy!
Brian Copple, Chamber President
Debbie Copple, Chamber Director
Index-Galena Road Update
We've been advised if we want to see the Index-Galena Road repaired and reopened that we need to tell the government that. We've been quietly waiting for the promised 2015 date to arrive. Apparently since we haven't been really vocal they think we don't care. This is the access to the Wild Sky and is very important to getting people into the USFS.
The closure has also blocked off access to several camping/hiking areas that are very big draws for people visiting the Sky Valley. Please take a look at the attached letter and write a note of your own. (The addresses are on the letter.) Our letter was on letterhead.
Please send in your letter today! We need this to be reopened.

Dear Member,
The Sky Valley Chamber had a great year and 2015 is looking even better for our area. We have a lot to be grateful for! The economy is picking up according to our 171 members. We didn't suffer any floods, landslides, wildfires or bridge collapses like some of our neighbors. The weather was the most beautiful I've ever experienced in the 28 years I've lived here. And the numbers of walk in visitors at the Center proved it! We outpaced much bigger visitor centers including Edmonds!
We sold $13,838.30 in Hunting, Fishing and Parking Passes to recreational guests so far this year. That represents over 400 customers. All of these customers had access to member and special event information.
The Event Guide Magazine was a big success! It was placed at businesses and VIC's all around the Puget Sound and the Cascade Loop.
Tourism, especially outdoor recreation and special events are really showing signs of growth. The partnerships all around Snohomish County and the Cascade Loop have gotten stronger which really helps promote our assets.
Just a few of the assets we're working to promote and/or build out:
- Wallace Falls is one of the top most popular State Parks in Washington.
- The Index Wall—People come from all over the world to climb here.
- Heybrook Ridge County Park—Major improvements are coming with the new trailhead.
- Osprey & Reece Park—Trail system maps
- New Equestrian Trailhead near Reiter in Gold Bar
- Steelhead County Park—a new campground that's scheduled to be built in Sultan.
- New trails at the Reiter Foothills Off Road Area.
- Sultan Sportsmen's Shooting Sports Park.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Delhi BJP president O. P. Kohli has announced that an "anti-price rise week" would be observed by all the "mandals" in Delhi from January 18 to January 25 as the party has decided to launch a movement at the national level against spiralling prices.
During the protest week, he said foot marches, torch processions, signature campaigns, corner meetings and propaganda from loudspeakers mounted on tempos would be carried out to make the people aware about the "wrong economic policies" of the Congress-led Governments at the Centre and in Delhi.
The BJP leader said party MLAs and councillors have been directed to actively participate in these programmes. Stating that the common man was suffering due to the sky-rocketing prices, Prof. Kohli said the Central Government was portraying itself as being helpless and blaming the States. Wondering how the common man would survive in these times, the BJP leader said be it flour, pulses, milk, sugar, vegetables or any other article of daily use the rates have increased manifold in the recent past.

The Dow Jones industrial average notched a triple-digit gain today, after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said he would whatever is needed to save the union's common currency. The remarks seemed to signal that the ECB would step into bond markets where prohibitively high borrowing costs threaten Spain and Italy.
"To the extent that the size of these sovereign premia hamper the functioning of the monetary policy transmission channel, they come within our mandate," Draghi said in a speech in London today, according to Bloomberg. "Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro…believe me, it will be enough."
Draghi's remarks sparked shifts in U.S. and overseas markets. Economists viewed his speech as a signal that the ECB would resume its bond-buying program. It stopped purchasing debt in March, choosing to make regional governments more active in combating the sovereign debt crisis.
Yields on 10-year Spanish bonds fell 45 basis points to 6.93%. Draghi's comments come less than a week after record-high yields led Spanish officials to say they would need more help. 10-year Spanish bond yields set a euro-era high, on June 22, at 7.69%. That's well above the threshold that triggered bailouts for Portugal, Ireland and Greece. "It seems that the central bank is starting to yield to the pressure," says Natascha Gewaltig, an economist at Action Economics.
In Italy, yield on 10-year bonds declined 39 basis points to 6.06%. The euro climbed 1% to $1.228.
"Draghi's comments that the central bank is prepared to do whatever needed within its mandate to preserve the euro are giving a boost to risky assets and the euro," says Barclays economist Barry Knapp. "Boosting fire power may be required to stabilize peripheral funding pressures, but it may take further market stress for member countries to agree."
U.S. blue chips yesterday snapped a three-day losing streak, and notched a more than 200-point rise today . The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 1.7% to 12,887.93. The S&P 500 increased 1.7% to 1,360.02. And the Nasdaq ticked-up 1.4% to 2,893.25.
Separately, jobless claims fell by 35,000 to 353,000 last week. And while durable-goods orders rose a seasonally adjusted 1.6% last month, economists note that outside the volatile transportation industry, orders fells. That suggests businesses have lost confidence in the economy.
Consumer staples and energy stocks led the market higher today. Colgate-Palmolive rose 4% to $106.38. PepsiCo gained 1.3% to $71.22. Coca-Cola rallied 2.4% to $78.85.
Schlumberger gained 4.5% to $71.31. Halliburton jumped 4% to $32.56.

->''"And oft she saw the closet door,''
->''and longed to look inside.''
->''At last she could no more refrain,''
->''and turned the little key,''
->''And looked within, and fainted straight''
->''the horrid sight to see;''
->''For there upon the floor was blood,''
->''and on the walls were wives,''
->''For Bluebeard first had married them,''
->''then cut their throats with knives."''
The SpearCounterpart of the BlackWidow, the Bluebeard is a man who appears [[TheCasanova charming]] but hides a nefarious secret: he keeps marrying women and then murdering them.
Unlike the BlackWidow, the Bluebeard is rarely motivated by {{greed}}, though in RealLife, historically that was a fairly common motivation. Often, he just does it for [[MonsterMisogyny kicks]] or as the epitome of DomesticAbuse.
Named after the [[Literature/{{Bluebeard}} famous fairy tale]]. Not to be confused with RedRightHand, although the TropeNamer's beard fell under that category. Not to be confused with the character from {{Felidae}} either. Nor with CaptainColorbeard; Bluebeards usually aren't pirates.
[[folder: Animeand Manga ]]
* A ''Anime/LupinIII'' episode dealt with this: a rich man married 99 women, murdered them, and encased their bodies in wax so he could preserve them. He planned to add Fujiko to his collection, but Lupin and the gang put a stop to that.
* In ''LightNovel/ShinigamiHimeNoSaikon'', [[spoiler:Lord Kashburn's father was one of these. Originally, he lured noblewomen with the promise of wealth, then murdered them; when the money ran out, he moved onto the servants and farmers' daughters. In the end, Kashburn killed him.]]
* Conwellians have this as their ''hat'' in ''Manga/LevelE'', as their BizarreAlienReproduction entails devouring their females and digesting them in order to fertilise their eggs. [[TragicMonster Even if they genuinely loved their mate.]] They destroyed their planet over a battle between a faction who were dedicated to genetically altering their species to remove this trait and a faction who thought that this was an intolerable heresy.
[[folder: Comic Books ]]
* Bluebeard appears in the comic book ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'', although his wife-killing days are supposedly behind him. Of course, given how GenreSavvy the characters have become over the centuries, this might be as much because no one is willing to marry him as because he's genuinely reformed.
* In the ''ComicBook/GrimmFairyTales'' version, the wife who opens the room finds what she feared: His previous wives' bodies, lots of blood, and all that. On his return, he flies into a rage, and she manages to stab him. [[spoiler:Only then does she learn the truth. The room was enchanted, and had shown her what she feared to see. He was only looking for a wife who could trust him.]]
* ''The Haunt of Fear'' (one of the original 1950s comics on which ''TalesFromTheCrypt'' is based) had a one-off story about a woman who discovers her new husband is Bluebeard's great-great-grandson and has indeed killed off all his previous wives. Predictably, he kills her as well so she can't tell anyone.
[[folder: Fairy Tales ]]
* The ''Literature/{{Bluebeard}}'' from the 1697 fairy tale kept murdering his wives, reasoning that they had fallen to their curiosity by opening the door he had strictly forbidden for them to open. Traditionally, the room behind the forbidden door contains the bodies of his previous wives. [[ValuesDissonance Earlier versions use this as a moral for women not to disobey their husbands]] [[CuriosityKilledTheCast or get too curious]]. In a few versions, the story itself gets inverted to serve this message: specifically, the wife successfully resists the temptation to look, and this somehow grants her power over her husband to make him do whatever she says when he returns from his trip and finds himself deprived of his excuse to kill her.
* A variation of this tale appears in many versions of "The Robber Bridegroom". In this story, the murderer is a member of a gang of cannibalistic bandits. After inviting the potential fiancé to his house, she is aided by the bandits' servant, an old woman who hides her behind a cask. The would be bride actually witnesses another woman being murdered and devoured, and later, the old woman helps her escape, but insists on coming with her. The bride brings along a ring from the victim of the murder she witnessed, and on the day of the wedding, exposes her fiancé with the evidence. The story ends with the Bridegroom and the other bandits executed.
* ''Fitcher's Bird'' is another variation -- the main difference is that [[ActionGirl the bride rescues herself]].
* The bride in the Literature/{{Child Ballad|s}} ''The Outlandish Knight'' manages to save her life. "Six pretty maidens have you drowned here/And the seventh has drowned thee."
* There is a version that completely subverts the story with a PerspectiveFlip. Bluebeard strictly forbids his wife from entering a particular room, but when she does, she finds that the room is perfectly normal and empty. It turns out that Bluebeard simply uses the room as a private place to rest when he doesn't want to be disturbed. He's understandably pissed when he finds out that his wife entered the room when he asked her not to, and ends up divorcing her and kicking her out of the house for her lack of trust.
* ''Mr Fox'' is another version of this story, where the woman discovers the dead women and witnesses the mutilation of one of them. She presents the evidence to Fox, who flees, but is torn apart by villagers and their dogs. Unusually for the trope, the title character appears to be at least partially motivated by {{greed}}, as he takes special interest in one victim's diamond ring.
* There is an Italian version called "Il Naso D'argento" ("The Silver Nose"). The "stranger" has a silver nose, and he is actually the Devil. The Forbidden Room is Hell, where he threw the first two disobedient wives. The wife's little sister, however, manages to save them. The 'silver nose' was typically a prosthetic nose used by men who suffered from severe syphilis, which could cause the nose to fall off. It would have been an early warning that the stranger was not very trustworthy.
[[folder: Films -- Animated ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'': Emily's fiancé [[spoiler:Lord Barkis]]. He killed Emily before their wedding and took her money and family jewellery, and she became known in the underworld as "Corpse Bride", waiting for her true love she could marry. The villain wants to do the same with one more girl, and perhaps there were more unfortunate ladies.
[[folder: Films -- Live-Action ]]
* The villain in ''Film/SoulsForSale'' marries women, takes out insurance policies on them, and kills them.
* The title character of the Creator/CharlieChaplin film ''Film/MonsieurVerdoux''.
* Legendary screen cad George Sanders essays a modern-day (as in circa 1960) version of the role in ''Bluebeard's Ten Honeymoons''.
* Played fairly straight in the early-'60s French film ''Landru'', based upon the story of Henri Landru (see the RealLife entry below).
* There is Catherine Breillat's film version of the legend.
* The bad Richard Burton film ''Bluebeard'' (1972) ups the ante by making Bluebeard a NoSwastikas NaziNobleman, and, for additional {{Squick}}, throwing in a dash of ILoveTheDead.
* The title character of the horror movie ''Film/TheStepfather'' marries women with children, only to slaughter them when they fall short of his expectations. He has ridiculously high standards, and so he goes through families fairly quickly.
* Harry Powell from ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter''. The film's main plot is him chasing after the children of his latest victim.
* In the original ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill1959'', eccentric millionaire Frederick Loren (Creator/VincentPrice) is currently on his fourth wife. The first one disappeared, and the second two died of heart attacks, despite being in their 20s. [[spoiler:At the end of the film, he frightens his fourth wife to death, but only because [[GoldDigger she was plotting to kill him for his money]]. It's implied that her predecessors may have been similarly interested in becoming rich young widows.]]
* Creator/FritzLang's ''Secret Beyond the Door'' (1948) combines the Bluebeard motif with a hefty helping of HollywoodPsych.
* Implied to be the case with [[MeaningfulName Blue]] in ''Film/SuckerPunch''.
* Spoofed in the old Italian comedy ''Le Sei Mogli di Barbablu'', starring the great Toto (Antonio De Curtis). Bluebeard's previous wives in this one, including a young Creator/SophiaLoren in one of her first roles, [[spoiler:haven't actually been killed, but are being held in suspended animation, and are revived by Toto]].
* A variant occurs in the 1942 grade-Z horror movie ''Film/TheCorpseVanishes'', starring Creator/BelaLugosi. Lugosi's character is running a scheme where high-society brides are being put into a near-death state in the midst of their weddings, then abducted, having their blood drawn to provide the raw material for a formula which is intended to keep Lugosi's wife in a state of eternal youth, and then killed. The IntrepidReporter who investigates the case finds the bodies of several of the victims in morgue drawers when she goes poking through the villain's lair.
* The 1934 movie ''Film/TheBlackCat''. This time, Bela Lugosi plays an ex-prisoner of war whose wife and daughter were married, then murdered by his evil rival (played by Boris Karloff.) Karloff's character was a Satanist who preserved his murdered wives and displayed them in his creepy house.
* Invoked in ''Film/BatmanForever''. Dick Grayson asks what's behind a door (it contains the hidden entrance to the Batcave), and [[DeadpanSnarker Alfred]] replies, "Master Wayne's dead wives."
* Uncle Charlie in Alfred Hitchcock's ''Film/ShadowOfADoubt'' is one, although his motivation has more to do with being a misogynistic SerialKiller than it does with greed.
* In ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'', Peter has a book titled Bluebeard on the shelf by his computer, perhaps as a hint to [[spoiler: Peter falling in love with and eventually (accidentally) killing Gwen]].
[[folder: Literature ]]
* The Sultan in the framing device of the ''Literature/ArabianNights'' stories is an extreme version, except that he makes no secret about it and has his wives executed. He kills off all his wives after one night to prevent their becoming unfaithful. The stories are told by his latest wife, Scheherezade, [[ScheherezadeGambit who uses a series of]] {{Cliffhanger}}s to keep him interested enough to delay her execution. By the time she runs out of stories, it's been years and she has birthed the Sultan several children, and he realizes he is madly in love with her.
* Creator/AngelaCarter's ''Literature/TheBloodyChamber'' has a "Literature/{{Bluebeard}}" retelling.
* Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnet "Bluebeard".
* There's a short story called "Captain Murderer", in which the titular character keeps marrying women and, a month after the wedding, asks them to make him a pie... and when they're done making the pastry, he kills them and [[ImAHumanitarian uses their flesh as the pie filling.]] He gets done in when a girl whose sister was killed by him catches on to the plot, marries him, and, just before he kills her, [[TakingYouWithMe poisons herself.]] He eats her and dies from the poison.
* In ''Literature/TheShining'', Danny recalls Bluebeard as he opens the door to a certain hotel room.
* In ''Which Witch?'', the ghost haunting Arriman's home murdered a ridiculously long line of wives and spends his death hitting his head in grief. [[spoiler:This is PlayedForLaughs when he is brought back to life and does absolutely nothing but prattle on about his wives and how he killed them for the most petty reasons (having a small, yappy dog, smelling bad, eating too much, etc). The protagonists eventually are rid of him by hooking him up with Madame Olympia, who was infamous for murdering her husbands. After the two run off, there's speculation as to which will off the other first.]]
* Lord Laphroig of Terry Brooks' ''Literature/MagicKingdomOfLandover'' series. Like Henry VIII, it was in order to produce a male heir. (And then he killed the heir and his mother when he found a better match in [[AmbitionIsEvil the daughter of the king]].)
* In Creator/DorothyGilman's ''Literature/TheClairvoyantCountess'', the stepfather murdered his stepdaughter after her mother had left her all the money; it turned out he had murdered the mother as well, and a fair number of earlier brides.
* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'':
** Downplayed by House Bolton, which goes through wives (and other... sources of entertainment) at a ''very'' alarming rate. Ramsay has killed only one and severely domestically abused the other -- although it's pretty plain he'd probably increase the number of horribly dead wives, given the chance. He's hardly secretive about it, either. However, his father has gone through two wives under mysterious circumstances, as well. House Bolton has, from time to time, had this reputation for centuries. Increasingly while reading, you suspect it's not been without cause. And, probably, played rather straighter for some than others.
** Gregor Clegane doesn't have any known kids. That's because his wives (and other partners) tend to die before they have a chance to either get conceived or born thanks to horrific DomesticAbuse and his general ForTheEvulz tendencies. It is known that he's been married a few times (certainly twice). The problem is, none of his wives ever gets given a name. Nor is anybody, even in-universe, quite sure how many times he ''has'' actually been married. Even his brother doesn't know: not that Sandor would have bothered to keep track, anyway. He knows what his brother is like... all too well.
** Cregan Karstark has, like Gregor and Roose above, had two wives for (presumably) political reasons. Both are also rather suspiciously dead without any children having had the chance to occur. [[spoiler: He was planning on a third wife (his cousin)... except she made a break for it and put a spanner in that plan of his and his father's. Even describing this trope as one of her major reasons ''why'' she's wild about the idea of [[TakeAThirdOption Taking A Third Option]], as she quite honestly assumes that she'd also wind up "accidentally" dying. With the caveat on only after her produced at least one male heir for Karhold to solidify his hold on her claim to it.]]
* ''Literature/TheReynardCycle'': Gaspard, the reputably insane Count of Lorn has married, and suspiciously lost, three wives. This trope is one possible explanation for this. (The other is that the wives are being assassinated by the Count's younger brother, who wishes to inherit the family title.)
* ''The Seventh Bride'' by T. Kingfisher (aka Creator/UrsulaVernon) is a retelling of a Bluebeard-type story. Rhea, a miller's daughter, is claimed by a local lord and sent to live at his house, where he sets her deceptive tasks with a fearful penalty for failing them. In this version, he is a sorcerer, and what he did to his previous six wives wasn't anything like as simple as murder.
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'''s episode [[spoiler:"Ted", Ted is an [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot android]]]] who kills his spouses -- and is [[spoiler:Buffy's mother]]'s newest boyfriend. [[spoiler:Perhaps he just stuck them in the closet and left them, since his goal was to bring his creator's wife back.]]
* A FracturedFairytale show put a twist on this trope -- the Bluebeard [[spoiler:sold his wives' souls to the devil, to represent the SevenDeadlySins. In the end, his seventh wife [[HoistByHisOwnPetard catches him in his own trap]].]]
* Naturally, shows up on ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'', with the expected comeuppance: [[spoiler:his now-dead wives lure him to their graveyard, declaring they can't live... or die... without him]].
* DomesticAbuser Michael Dobson, played by Larry Miller on ''Series/LawAndOrder'', had his wives killed by hitmen on two separate occasions for the insurance money.
* In one episode of ''Series/TheCloser'' they encounter a man who is in the habit of marrying Japanese women and killing them. When he's discovered he's already killed two wives (plus his four-year-old daughter from the second marriage) and has a new girlfriend, who claims he saved her and her son from her abusive husband back in Japan.
* One of the killers whose statue is displayed in ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' episode "The New Exhibit."
* Played for laughs with the character Dr. Mickhead from the series {{Scrubs}}. He's suspected of murdering his wife, and it's an OpenSecret amongst the Sacred Heart staff, and several scenes has him attempting to hide evidence(including giving a hammer to JD's then-girlfriend for safekeeping) before getting carted off in handcuffs.
* An episode of ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' was based on this story, although he wasn't killing them, but keeping them for breeding.
[[folder: Music ]]
* Music/JoannaNewsom's "Go Long" is a version of "Literature/{{Bluebeard}}".

* The traditional ballad "False Sir John" is about one wife-killer.
* The seventh track of SoundHorizon's album ''Märchen'', "Aoki Hakushaku no Shiro" (meaning "the blue earl's castle"), deals with this story.
[[folder: Opera ]]
* Bartok's ''Bluebeard's Castle'' is a Freudian re-examination of the story. His castle is his subconscious, and Judith (wife #4) is casting light on his past by opening up every door with him, hand in hand. [[DownerEnding It doesn't end well...]]
* Offenbach also wrote an opera on this story
[[folder: Newspaper Comics ]]
* ''ComicStrip/ModestyBlaise'' fought one of these in '"The Bluebeard Affair."
[[folder: Oral Tradition ]]
* On a singles cruise, a woman meets a handsome, but older man. She talks to him, and they're hitting it off, when the man mentions he's a widower. "Oh, you are?" she asks. "Yes, I've had three wives, and they all died." "Oh, my god, what happened?" "Well, the first one... she ate poisoned mushrooms." "Really?" "Yes, and the second one... really tragic, she also ate poisoned mushrooms." "My goodness! What about the third one?" "Well, she was strangled to death." "Strangled! What happened?" "She wouldn't eat the mushrooms."

** The folkloric Bluebeard rules one of the realms in the {{Ravenloft}} setting.
** There is also the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent nosferatu]] darklord of Valachan, who frequently marries young beautiful women; however, no matter his original intentions, his tailor-made curse invariably makes him more and more mistrustful of his current bride each day, until he snaps and kills them in a paranoid rage. None of his brides survived to see their first anniversary so far.

* Zoltan Carnovasch from the first ''{{Phantasmagoria}}'' was made for this trope, with [[spoiler:Don almost following in his footsteps.]]
* The freeware Doom-engine game Judith, in which a series of flashbacks of a wife finding a secret room in her husband's castle with a torture victim inside and the subsequent mercy-killing of the victim leads to the wife encountering a particularly haunting version of this trope.
* Dupin and the {{player character}} must outwit one of these in the ''VideoGames/DarkTales'' series.
* A popular strategy in ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings II'' is "Bluebearding" - marrying women for their dowries and high birth, assassinating them, and repeating the process. Despite the otherwise [[ArtificialBrilliance good AI]], the VillainProtagonist will [[KarmaHoudini suffer no repercussions for his actions]], unlike most of the evil strategies in the game.

* Henry VIII, who had [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wives_of_Henry_VIII six wives,]] is often considered to be a Bluebeard despite the fact that "only" two of said wives (second wife Anne Boleyn and fifth wife Catherine Howard) got the axe, both convicted of adultery.[[labelnote:*]]Although the king was [[DoubleStandard no stranger to adultery himself]], and Anne's real "crime" was failing to give him a son. It wasn't producing a male heir that was the problem; it was producing a ''legitimate'' male heir who would actually be able to become king. This led to some zany schemes like planning to marry his illegitimate son to his legitimate daughter.[[/labelnote]] Two of the others (first wife Catherine of Aragon and fourth wife Anne of Cleves) were divorced, the third (Jane Seymour) [[DeathByIrony died of natural causes after producing a male heir]], and the last one (Catherine Parr) survived him. His reputation in this area is augmented by the fact that he had plenty of ''other'' people executed over the political and religious complications involved in his HighTurnoverRate of wives. In that time period Catherine of Aragon's death was attributed to him as well, with rumors of him or Anne Boleyn poisoning her, or his imprisoning her in a decrepit castle undermining her health, or even that she died of a broken heart. (Modern historians attribute her death to heart cancer.)
* Drew Peterson, a former cop from Illinois who has been married four times -- to increasingly younger women, to the point that his 4th wife, whom he began dating when she was ''17'', was 30 years his junior -- physically abused all of his wives, cheated on the 2nd wife with the woman who would become his 3rd, and cheated on ''her'' with the girl who would become his 4th. He was recently convicted of the murder of his 3rd wife and is the sole suspect in the disappearance and likely murder of his 4th. Ironically, had his 4th wife not vanished, cops would probably have never taken a second look at his 3rd wife's death, which had heretofore been believed to be an accidental drowning.
* Robert Weeks. In 1968, his wife Patricia disappeared after a dinner date in which they were to hash out the terms of their divorce. Her car was later found abandoned at a local shopping mall. In 1980, his girlfriend Cynthia Jabour disappeared after a dinner date in which she intended to break off the relationship. Her car was found abandoned in a casino parking lot. Three guesses what happened to his next girlfriend, Carol Ann Riley. In April 1988, Weeks was convicted of murdering Patricia and Cynthia, even though no trace of them, Carol Ann, or his ''male'' business partner (who had apparently discovered his unscrupulous business dealings) was ever found.
* John David Smith's first and second wives disappeared without a trace. Each had complained that he was abusive and controlling and each was planning to file for divorce. While his first wife's remains were eventually found and he was convicted of her murder, his second wife's whereabouts are still unknown.
* So called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowry_death "dowry deaths"]] are still pretty common in certain parts of India, despite the fact that dowry has been prohibited by law since 1961.

Welcome to another Alaskan adventure in this return to Sue Henry's Anthony and Macavity Awardwinning Jessie Arnold mystery series.At loose ends when a knee injury sidelines her for the dogsled racing season, Jessie Arnold is delighted to accept an invitation to help old friends Laurie and Jim restore an old lighthouse that they are turning into a bed-and-breakfast. In Alaska, though, few journeys are simple; and as Jessie makes her way to Five Finger Island via several short-haul flights, she encounters a young woman called Karen who claims she's fleeing an abusive relationship. She says that although she left the man years ago, he keeps tracking her down…and the police have been no help at all. Although Karen declares she's running for her life, there's something about her story that doesn't quite ring true with Jessie. Not willing to abandon the other woman to a killer, yet wanting to keep a close eye on her, Jessie -- with her hosts' permission -- invites Karen to join the work party on the island. Soon Cooper, the man who is following Karen, ends up there, too. But events take an escalatingly sinister turn when someone wearing Cooper's jacket is found dead. Suspicious incidents begin to mount up…and it becomes clear that a killer is on the island. With the phone and radio out of commission and the island isolated by fog, Jessie struggles to solve the mystery and stop a killer who threatens the lives of everyone at Five Finger Light.Sue Henry's evocative descriptions in Murder at Five Finger Light capture the isolation and the grandeur of Alaska and the self-reliance to those who choose to live there.

Best Cheap Fashion Accessories: They'll Ask, Don't Tell New York 2001 - CVS Pharmacy
Minerva McNamara was not the best-dressed girl in school, though she certainly was the blandest. The sort of dull, decent Milquetoast whom everyone invited to parties, but nobody remembered to talk to. The worm turned during third-period study hall, though, when Minerva met Warner Van Camp, future fabulous mogul. "Accessorize," he commanded, and whisked her away to CVS PHARMACY after pooling allowances for a $25 spree. Here's what they found: safety-pin bracelets strung with black, red, or white beads, very Desperately Seeking Susan, $2.99 each; a 12-pack of Official Preppy Handbook-esque gum-ball ponytail holders ($3.19 ); and a spiky, butterscotch-dyed faux-hair twist ($3.69). Warner also snuck in pleather woven sandals ($6.99) and Little L'eggs tights ($2.50) for Minerva to rip up and wear with baby-doll frocks. And on that day a star was born.

The Securities Act of 1933 ("the 1933 Act") regulates the process by which securities are first offered and sold to the public, and has two primary objectives: (1) to ensure that investors receive full and accurate information in relation to securities offered for public sale; and (2) to prohibit misrepresentations and other fraud in relation to the sale of securities.
Registration Requirements -
Subject to limited exceptions (e.g., private or limited offerings), the 1933 Act requires that all securities offered for sale in the US first be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The 1933 Act and supporting rules govern the registration process and require (among other things) that a Registration Statement be filed with the SEC. The Registration Statement is an SEC-proscribed form that contains certain information about the business of the issuer company, the security being sold, and additional information about the management of the company and its financial condition. It is different than the sales document for investor use, which is called the Prospectus (or offering document). The Prospectus is the sales/ marketing presentation, while the Registration Statement seeks SEC approval of the sale.

The 2012 winner will exemplify eBay sellers who, in the face of challenges, achieve their business goals by understanding their market and delighting their customers.NEW!

Mismarked Items: Your Experiences
my mom and i were in calvin klein the other day, looking at a leather jacket.
she looked at the price tag and it said $28! just a normal sticker, identical to the other price tags, except that all the other jackets were marked $385- i mean it wasn't written in red marker or anything.
the jacket was my size, and my mom tells me that she could argue and convince them to sell the jacket for $28, but me being the easily embarassed and insecure teenager that i am said "no, don't do that!"
well, the saleswoman comes up and asks us if we would like to try it on.
my mom said no, but told her that the jacket was marked $28.
the saleswoman looking baffled, obviously, and told us that "it was most definately not $28, but thank you for bringing that to my attention."
what would you guys have done?
would the store have had to sell the jacket for $28?
should i have let my mom buy it?
i think i missed a good opportunity

i've experienced that similar with a return...by law, they have to give you the item at the priced marked, and i believe also that if the items are identical, and they have 2 separate prices, they have to give you both items at the lower price. at least that's what i understand from working retail...

I was shopping with my mum and she was borrowing my credit card because she had blocked her pin by accident and she bought some jeans that went through the till at 10 pounds. That was a nice surprise.
I've seen a Gucci belt for $15 at the boutique, all the others were $150. I dared my friend to buy it but he didn't think he'd get it for that price.
I know that Loblaws (a grocery store chain) has a policy that if the marked price and the price that shows up when it's scanned are different, then they'll give you that item for free. You have to go through customer service though.
tfs star
yeah I think that if it was marked that, definitely ask for that price. I used to work retail and it was always a big deal that things were marked correctly and if they weren't the customer should get it at that price!
"Life is a joyful strain. Can you hear it resound?"
when the rats run riot
yeah, i wasn't sure if stores like calvin klein would have to follow the same rules as, say, a grocery store.
i still can't believe how they could have marked the jacket at $28! i mean what is even $28 in that store that they would have put the wrong sticker on?
inspired contemplation
yes I'm quite sure legally they have to sell it at the advertised price. Thats fair game. I mean, if they didn't things could be marked at any price and when you got to the till it'd be a complete surprise. Once when I was at eddie bauer buying a suitcase they had the suitcase marked, I think $100 less all the other ones of the same style/size and we bought it at the mismarked price. They have to sell it at that price.
i work in retail and have done for years .. in the uk the law states
if they choice to sell you the product then they have to at the ticketed price .. if not they can remove the item from the shop floor for 24 hours and not sell it too you. they can then legaslly mark it up and put it back on shop floor.
In my shop if its a case of say £15 or less well just discount it down and let them have it .. if they notice and or argue .. seiously you get people kicking off over 50p as its much easier to keep customer happy, not cuase a scene etc.
If it wa hundreds of pound like your case then we would have took it off shop floor and explained that we dont need to sell it, and showed them the legal legislation around this too back us up if they kick off.
me personally as a customer not a employee would have kicked off big style and demade they sell me jacket for that price. And if they didnt id cause the biggest fuss until they sold it me at marked price just to shut me up lol

God Save McQueen
yeah, im pretty sure they have to sell it to you at that price. otherwise its bait and switch which is illegal. My mom definately has gotten stuff that way.
I think i remember hearing something about this on the other end of the spectrum though, things being overcharged accidentally at Macys. They got into a bit of trouble a couple years ago. am I remembering correctly?
once more, with feeling
I bought a new suit jacket last week from Club Monaco for $19. It was supposed to be $199, but the SA rang it up twice, pointed out to me that it was coming up as $19 (I hadn't noticed) and said "oh well, that's what the computer says" and sold it to me for that amount! It was marked at full price, but I don't think the SA cared, and I wasn't going to argue.
But in similar situations, I have pointed out discrepancies, like when I was charged $100 for $250 Theory pants. I feel that as long as the SA knows, I can get it at the "reduced" price with a clear conscience. So Em, I wouldn't feel too bad about it...
Notes to a Mouse
once more, with feeling
Though nowadays I feel like it's the store's responsibility to properly train their employees and mark their merchandise.

Gita, Thoreau, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. …. the link infuses the exhibition
CHENNAI: From the Gita to Henry David Thoreau's "On Civil Disobedience," and from Gandhi's salt march to Martin Luther King Jr.'s realised dream, the idea of non-violent protest to secure freedom for the oppressed is a thread that ties the U.S. and India. It is this direct link between Indian and American free thinkers that the "Journey to Freedom" exhibition celebrates.
U.S Consul for Public Affairs in Chennai Frederick J. Kaplan inaugurated the exhibition at the Khadi Gramodyog Bhavan, Anna Salai, on Monday.
It explains how American transcendentalist Thoreau was influenced by teachings in the Bhagavad Gita, and Mahatma Gandhi, in turn, was able to articulate the idea of non-violent protest after reading Thoreau's "On Civil Disobedience."
"Until I read that essay, I never found a suitable English translation for my Indian word satyagraha," Gandhi is quoted as saying on one of the panels on display at the exhibition.
Mr. Kaplan said that rather than being housed at a museum, the exhibition is floating to various locations around Chennai to increase the chances of passers-by haviang a look at and learning about how these countries have influenced each other.
The exhibition was set up this year to commemorate 50 years since King's trip to Gandhi's homeland, he said. King was greatly influenced by Gandhi's writings, which he had read during his college days before joining the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. Despite the exhibit's commemorative purpose, Mr. Kaplan said dialogue between India and the U.S. did not end in the 1950's. Ideological links continue to manifest themselves even today and will only extend into the future, he said.
"Because of Gandhi, we have MLK, and because of MLK we have Barack Obama," Mr. Kaplan said, in reference to Obama's historical win as the first U.S. African-American president in the 2008 election.
The exhibition is open till April 29.

Thread: Using photo reference correctly
April 13th, 2008 #1
Using photo reference correctly
Is it ok to use photographic reference when making art?
Yes. In fact, it can be a very smart thing to do.
This is a scan from Norman Rockwell's book Rockwell on Rockwell: How I Make a Picture. In his early career, Rockwell created his illustrations using live models. Later on, he adopted photography and projection because of their convenience and time-saving qualities.
Attachment 346939
Because of his excellent drawing skills, Rockwell can use the reference as the basis to create exactly the type of character he wants. Notice all of the small changes he makes. Sticking too close to the reference is often called "being a slave to the reference" and can result in characters that look too stiff or posed.
Also, if there are problems in the photo where the pose is not exact or clear, someone who can only trace will copy these problems into the final image. A skilled artist can solve the problems in the drawing.
Is it ok to use other people's photos as reference?
It depends. Just like you own the copyright to your art, a photographer owns the copyright to his or her photos.
If you copy all or most of someone else's photo without permission, this could be a copyright violation. There is no rule that says "if you change it X%, then it's ok." In U.S. courts, the test is if a reasonable observer could look at the original and the copy side-by-side and tell that it is a copy. It is ok to copy someone else's photo as much as you want if it is only for your personal study. It is considered a courtesy to acknowledge your source if you then show that work to anyone.
Here are some examples of ways artists can use others' photos as reference:
Using individual, generic parts of a photo. Ex. A tree, hills, clouds.
Using individual, specific parts of a photo. Ex. The Empire State Building, a Jeep.
For historical research. Ex. Looking at pictures of WWII uniforms to get the design accurate.
Gathering multiple photos of a subject without using a specific one. Ex. Looking at many photos of lions to see how they are built and how they move.
Using multiple photos for general inspiration. Ex. Gathering photos of different kinds of machinery in order to get inspiration for your own machine design.

I can't see what was so terrible about this thread to merit a one star rating. The star doesn't give me that information, whereas a constructive comment might.
I just figure people don't want to have to read things. That must be why a thread about posting other people's images with minimal commentary gets 5 stars.
I still think some people around here could stand to read a book.

This is a terrific thread and more people should read it!!! I have awarded it 5 stars because it is such an important topic. Not only should illustrators learn to use reference correctly, but we should learn to shoot our own (especially for figures).

Thanks for the support, guys.
And I love the pic of "read a book" Handy, arttorney.
Anything I can do to make this thread better would be greatly appreciated.

I'm amazed no one has thought of a thread like this before! Great ideas always seem obvious once somebody has one. 5 stars from me.
Emily, is that book on Rockwell's methods called 'Rockwell on Rockwell' and is it still in print? I saw one like this some while ago and couldn't get hold of it - it looks very much like the same book.
April 26th, 2008 #14
Thanks, Chris.
Yep, that's the book and no, it's not still in print.
It's an incredible book, though.

Here's something that might interest people - I was asked to do a 'portrait effect' of the british snooker referee Michaela Tabb. I could take a lot of liberties so it was not one of my 'straight portraits' and is therefore interesting in that it willfully departs from the reference yet has to be a reasonable likeness. I thus made the drawing you see from the shown reference photograph and then made the painting entirely from the drawings without once looking at the photograph at all, releying entirely on the information that was important in the drawings.
P.S. Emily, if you do not wish people to put their own examples in this thread then please feel free to delete it, I quite understand.

Emily G, thanks for this thread! I'm constantly surprised at how many young artists seem to think that reference is some evil crutch that "real artists" don't need. The truth is not only is it ok, it's a damn good idea, and if you aren't using reference you are doing yourself a major disservice!

1. Frazetta's stuff, while superb in its own right, is nowhere near as specific as Rockwell's. Superhero comic work is even less so. Fraz also used reference when he needed it. Alot of environmental concept art is realistic in general effect, but compared to a well researched landscape by the Hudson River painters it lacks in truthful information and subtlety of effect.
2. Unless a person has photographic memory of the highest order, it would be impossible for their work to match the work of a pro who renders realistically using models, props or photographs. Try doing a Dru Struzan-like poster without reference of the actors...
3. Yeah, maybe Michelangelo was knowledgable enough to draw the figure as well as he could from imagination, but at the expense of other subjects. He worked pretty much exclusively with the figure all the time, in 2D and 3D. Artists are not Batman where they can have absolute mastery of 10 different disciplines at a writer's whim.
4. The final result is what matters. Master artists have used models, photography, copying other art, camera obscura, projection, figurines, sculptures, mannikins,etc. to attain the quality of work they were looking for.

This is a great thread with a lot of usefull information. The Rockwell stuff was especially enjoyable. Photo refernces have been used for years, even the master used camera obscuras to help them get the details right. When all art is comprised of copying images either fromthe imagination or form life is there really a need to argue of the level of copying? Besides, I think it was Picasso who said that "Amatures Create, Professionals Copy" lol Of course that may be slightly out of context but you get the idea... : )

I've learned that the whole 'the old masters used the camera obscura' thing is a myth, or at least largely exaggerated.

Yeah some, on occasion, but I've understood that there's this wide misconception that nearly all of them used it, all the time.
Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not speaking from experience here, only what the internetz has told me...

Whenever we witness something 'new', as we do in great paintings, however old they are, there is always a certain kind of awkwardness about them, or rather an ineloquence that is very difficult to put one's finger on - I guess it is that when we surprise ourselves we are in a similar state to the amature in that we are of neccessity on unfamiliar ground. Slickness is almost by definition, lack of surprise.
As a professional, I am always trying to find the amature in me or, to put it much more accurately, and to paraphrase Isaac Newton (har har), trying to stand the amature on top of the professional's shoulders.
