|Art from the East
by Fred Stern
|Asian art week in New York -- the week of Mar. 20-25, 2000 -- is different this year! That's the consensus of galleries, dealers, the auction houses and collectors.
It's not hard to pin down the changes, all of which bode well for the Asian art scene. There are new galleries, new collectors and new areas of collecting, all playing out against the backdrop of a booming economy.
First, the galleries, which have been multiplying geometrically. Today, there are close to a thousand galleries in the U.S. and Europe, all very different from those of the past.
Before the 1980s, galleries dealing in Asian art were generalists, offering jewelry, textiles, pottery and ceramics in all sorts of condition. Sometimes a knowledgeable or lucky collector could make some fabulous discoveries, but usually there is little to find.
Today's dealer is highly specialized, carrying Himalayan art, Japanese swords, kimonos, Indian miniatures, Indonesian textiles or any other of the dozens of Asian art subgroups.
Milan and Paris are now competing with the established Asian art galleries in London and Hong Kong. New York has become the undisputed leader in terms of market size, growth and prestige.
The field is attracting many new collectors who are delighted by the relatively low "entry fees" into Asian collecting areas, compared to the high prices of contemporary Western work. There are new buyers from Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina. And with recent stronger financial markets, the Asian buyer is coming back, led by those from Korea.
But veteran collectors are changing too, becoming more sophisticated and selective in their purchases and moving to higher and more expensive ground.
Some are switching to new specialty areas of collecting, selling their older acquisitions to the burgeoning market at substantially higher prices, and investing the proceeds in their new Asian interests.
During a recent visit to the Midwest, I was amazed at the size, scope and prominence accorded Pacific art in area museums. The Indiana University Art Museum in Bloomington has sizable holdings from Sumatra and Borneo including masks, batik textiles and skillfully carved sculpture of the Dayak people. The Indianapolis Art Museum has a popular exhibit of Chinese porcelain that is prominently displayed and well installed.
But back to New York and its triple play: Auctions, Armory shows and gallery exhibitions. The two major auction houses are again providing the major focus.
The auction houses
Christie's offers a three-day marathon of auctions, running Mar. 21-23. One highlight is a pair of six-panel Japanese screens from the early 17th century. A Portuguese ship in the harbor of Nagasaki offloads cargo while the captain leads a colorful procession to church. Although the country was then closed off to all outside visitors, some exceptions were obviously made. Low estimate for the screens is $250,000.
A masterpiece of the potter's art, a 10-facet ritual bowl from Korea's Choson period (18th century), stands out in the Korean component of the auction. It is expected to bring around $280,000.
Sotheby's salutes Asia Week with four sales. On Mar. 21, more than 300 Netsuke go on sale (netsuke are toggles attached to the belts of Japanese men). This group, with some dating to the 18th century, is from the Bushell collection, and includes wood, bamboo or ivory examples at an average price of $3,500. They are an excellent entry step to collecting Asian art.
Another prize at Sotheby's is an exceptionally beautiful blue and white 18th-century plate featuring a cascade and oak tree, among other motifs. Its presale estimate is $130,000. Other highlights include a large wood figure of a Bodhisattva from the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD), estimated at $500,000, and a Tibetan thanka (a devotional painting from the 13th and 14th centuries, done on cloth) depicting one of the five Transcendent Buddhas, which carries a $150,000 low estimate.
The Asian art fairs
Even more international in scope, with 60 exhibitors from six countries, is the "Asian Art Fair" at the Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue at 67th Street, Mar. 24-29. A special loan exhibition of the Daiitokui Myo-o from the Clark Center for Japanese art will highlight the exhibition. This deity is one of five Bright Kings and is said to have mystical knowledge and the power to help conquer passion and desire.
At the galleries
Kaikodo, located at 164 East 64th Street, features "Realms of Faith," Mar. 18-Apr. 15. Over 40 paintings and 34 objects from China and Japan dating from the 1st century BC to late imperial times explore the inter-relationships between people and their religions -- primarily Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism. Among the many visual delights are a wooden pagoda from the Liao Dynasty dating to the early 11th century and a painted pottery Sleeve dancers with Kneeling Figure from the Western Han Dynasty (2nd and 1st century BC).
J.J. Lally & Co. at 41 East 57th Street offers a display of ancient Chinese ceramics and tomb sculptures, Mar. 20-Apr. 8. By far the most interesting are Neolithic pottery vessels dating to the 6th to the 3rd centuries BC.
I especially liked a red pottery stem bowl with white and black pigment of the Majiayao culture (3800-2000 BC). Sophisticated in design, it has a strong humorous touch. A Qijia culture (circa 2250-1900 BC) ewer with human eyes, nose and mouth, reveals the potter's impeccable skills.
Finally, Lally has a plain white pottery beaker with a small ring handle from the Dawenkou culture (5th-3rd century BC). Its graceful curves indicate how far pottery had advanced in that Neolithic period.
The jury is still out on whether these were funerary objects or ritual vessels and status symbols. Prices range the from low to mid-five figures.

A day after Aam Aadmi Party volunteers inspected schools in different parts of the city to jot down basic problems, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday announced that it will form its own "monitoring committees" to keep an eye on the activities of the AAP volunteers. The committee will also keep a close watch on the functioning of the government in a bid to prepare a 'charge sheet' against the ruling AAP government.
Sources in the Delhi BJP said the instructions to form committees came from the Central leadership and the findings of these committees will be collated and shared with party units in other States where the Aam Aadmi Party intends to contest the Lok Sabha elections.
State BJP chief Vijay Goel questioned the initiative of the ruling AAP government to send out its volunteers to inspect schools. "We heard that volunteers are going into schools. Who are these people?" he asked. "We will form a committee that will keep an eye out on their actions. Whatever wrong done by the AAP will be exposed," he said. Members of the committee are yet to be decided.
On Wednesday, AAP volunteers visited schools and jotted down notes on various facilities including toilets, security guards, electricity and water supply apart from looking at the building infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Mr. Goel said that the BJP will hold a 'dharna' on Friday to highlight the "anti-national" and "anti-people" policies of the AAP government. "Supporting referendum in Kashmir, raising doubts over Batla House encounter and now protecting Congress' leaders in Delhi from corruption charges are a clear evidence of the opportunism of AAP," he said. He added that most of the promises made by the AAP are "practically impossible" and has been announced for political gains.
Last month, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Harsh Vardhan said that each BJP MLA will be allotted a specific department and act as a shadow minister. "Sometimes, more than one MLA will shadow a particularly important department to ensure that the government fulfils its responsibilities," he had said.
Keywords: Bharatiya Janata Party, Delhi BJP, AAP, AAP volunteers, Vijay Goel

In an industry obsessed with polygon counts and frame rates, Nintendo's Wii console and DS handheld were the proverbial knives at a gunfight. They were grossly underpowered compared to the competition, meaning Nintendo could sell them at a profit from day one. Their innovative control methods ensured they still sold like hotcakes. An animated GIF of Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata holding a DS that printed money became the go to picture to run alongside quarterly announcements of Nintendo's gargantuan profits. If a disheveled man emerged from a time-traveling DeLorean with tales of a near-future Nintendo struggling to sell its latest handheld, I'd have been more surprised about the Nintendo thing.

Nintendo took the wraps off its new Wii U console at E3 today, sporting a controller as unique as we've come to expect from the company that brought us the Wii and the DS. With a 6.2" touchscreen, dual-analog sticks, D-pad, four face buttons, four triggers, front-facing camera, microphone, and motion controls (gyroscope and accelerometer), it's safe to say we'll see some innovative game mechanics invented to make full use of this thing.

The issue is directly linked to influence of money power in polls: Quraishi
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has sought the help of the Press Council of India (PCI) in monitoring the media-related malpractices like "paid news" during elections as its own jurisdiction is limited to a candidate's election spending.
Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi told a press conference here on Tuesday that problems like 'paid news' indulged in by some sections of the media "has assumed serious proportions and is more pronounced in some States."
As far as the Commission was concerned, it was making all efforts to tighten the candidate's expenditure monitoring cell which is headed by an Income Tax Officer. This cell would work in close cooperation with the PCI to monitor practices like "paid news" which are eventually directly related to the influence of money power in the elections, he said.
Mr. Quraishi was in Goa along with Election Commissioner V.S. Sampat to chair a conference of chief electoral officers from the west zone which includes Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Goa and the Union Territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
He said the ECI was going ahead with a nationwide programme to increase the participation of the youth in the electoral process as it was noticed that often youth were not aware of their voting right or seemed to be disillusioned by diverse reasons and kept away from the election process.
"We want to give the youth a sense of participation in the election process. This segment is generally omitted from the voters' list because very often they are cynical about democratic processes," he said.
"We are celebrating National Voter's Day on January 25, when the Election Commission was founded 60 years ago, one day before the country became a republic," Mr. Quraishi said.
He said a nationwide drive would be conducted on January 25 in an attempt to induct 2 crore youngsters turning 18 that month into the electoral process. A programme covering 8.5 lakh voting booths across the country would be held on that day to distribute photo identity cards to as many as 2.5 crore eligible voters.
The ECI has so far issued 714 million voting cards across the country.
On the reliability of electronic voting machines (EVMs), Mr. Quraishi reiterated his complete faith in the EVM technology which he said had stood the test of time since it was first introduced in 1982.
He said the procedure of EVM usage was consistently reviewed and vetted — both in terms of technology and administrative controls including safety aspect — over a period of time to keep out malpractices or manipulations.
"There have been many technological improvements in the EVM machines since it was first introduced in 1982. We have elaborate procedures and a technical experts committee outside the Commission, which authorises any changes, any improvements and a lot of suggestions that are made, making our system better," said Mr. Quraishi.
"The machines have undergone a lot of improvement and we are trying to counter, prevent or anticipate any malpractice in advance," he said, ruling out any apprehension over the possibility of tampering with the EVMs.
Mr. Quraishi said the ECI has decided to integrate the number of the Unique Identification Card being issued to the citizens into the election photo identity card by superimposing the number of the former on to the latter.

Stoke City defender Dominic Matteo says he always knew Steven Gerrard was something special.
Matteo was a couple of years ahead of Gerrard when the pair were together at Liverpool and the centre-half told The Sentinel: "I remember the first time I really saw him. A few of us not involved in the first team were training on a Saturday morning and he came along to join us. We were all thinking wow, this kid has something.
"From a young age he could play absolutely anywhere – I've seen him play right-back for the first team early in his career.
"He's a good athlete and has got such a great brain, but he also works hard at improving his game all of the time.
"Off the field, Stevie is a very humble guy, considering what he has achieved. He doesn't take anything for granted.
"He takes every game the same and that is a tribute to his great professionalism.
"He will be wanting to get that 100th goal sorted and out of the way. He scores all different types of goals and you just can't give him space anywhere on the field because of the way he shoots."
Matteo also has a soft spot for Jamie Carragher after spending even more time with the former England defender during their rise towards first-team football at Anfield.
"It's easy for people on the outside to overlook his contribution, particularly with Stevie around, but I don't think he gets overlooked in Liverpool.
"They know what he's done for the club, and that is done brilliantly. He's a great pro, a great player and a really nice guy with it."

There's a growing rumor that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa could step down after this season and pursue a job as a general manager. We all know Seattle's looking...
There's a growing rumor that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa could step down after this season and pursue a job as a general manager. We all know Seattle's looking...
Maybe he just wants out of St. Louis. I'd take him..........bye Dusty. Sadly, the money we'd have to pay to get rid of Dusty, plus the contract for LaRussa, would be significant.
The man is targeting the right people and he is serious about the Cardinals improving their team, I suspect that they will.But with the Cardinals listing toward a second straight postseason miss, the third-winningest manager in the game's history would also like to believe the organization will again prove its commitment to fortifying itself this winter via an aggressive search for what he considers "impact" help.
"I would anticipate ownership and the front office are excited about us making a significant improvement for next season," La Russa said. "If we had a losing season, you could make the same comment. But if you're a losing club, 'significant' could mean getting to .500. We've got the components here. You're adding to something good."
Sounds like TLR misses some guy named JockettyAsked if he chagrined at the lack of movement, La Russa said, "I would never answer that question. That's a private opinion I would share with the organization. There are no points to be made by saying I agree or disagree."
Others within the clubhouse are privately less politically correct, construing a lack of movement as a vote of no-confidence in a team that arguably overachieved for four months.

- " Very friendly service and the breakfast was a nice surprise. The location and the garden in the backyard make a good combination and it is a pleasure after hectic streetlife! A private double room was clean and bright, however, the only small minus goes for the soundproofing (the entrance door lets all the noise from the hallway to come throug). A very cool hostel, strongly recommended! "
- 18 May 2015 Marika Finland
- " Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was easily worth the price and having a place to sleep was an added freebie. Hands down best breakfast I've ever had at a hostel. Facilities were nice. A little walk from the ferries, but not too bad. No elevator. Room was on the 5th floor, which was a bit rough after walking around all day. Not too close to the nearest mosque, but you could hear the call to prayer at 4:30am if you left the window open. "

Hydro Grow Issues Warning to Beware of Counterfeit Penetrator LED Grow Lights
Sellers of counterfeit Hydro Grow products assure UK and international customers they are selling genuine "Hydro Grow" LED Grow Lights, while manufacturer Hydro Grow warns consumers to beware of these fraudulent sellers of counterfeit merchandise.
(PRWEB) July 18, 2012
Counterfeit LED Grow Light resellers in the UK have recently changed the LED Grow Light industry from a place where dishonest claims like "a 90W UFO can replace a 400W HPS", and twisted truths such as "LEDs never lose intensity" are now just a minor offense.
Leading LED Grow Light manufacturer Hydro Grow, secured a huge portion of the retail LED Grow Light market with the announcement of their Penetrator-X "Extreme" line in June 2011. These models were true marvels, differing in every way from all other LED Grow Lights available. Due to their huge popularity, "look-alike" products began appearing on the market only months after the Penetrator-X release, having LEDs arranged in clusters and sharing a single piece lens with the promise of a modular design. As of 2012 however, copy-cat sellers have taken a far more aggressive and less ethical approach, as they produce near replicas of Hydro Grow's US-patented designs.
In an interview with the CEO of Hydro Grow, Cammie Mckenzie she commented, "2012 has been an annoyance for us with low-quality counterfeit versions of our products hitting the market. What saddens us most is the lack of respect, moral integrity, and business ethics shown by these counterfeit resellers, who are often proud they lie to customers by telling them they're selling legitimate Hydro Grow products. An interesting fact is the only country providing us with any issues towards ceasing the sale of counterfeit lights, is the UK. All other resellers in alternate countries have ceased after being contacted by our attorneys."
In the UK there are several major offenders against Hydro Grow, who have refused after numerous requests to stop selling counterfeit Hydro Grow products. The sites post photos taken against copyright law from the Hydro Grow website, showing their discontinued X1 (red casing) design. The lights in the photos also show Hydro Grow's logo, which is a registered trademark (#4,111,277), while the product descriptions say "Penetrator-PRO", a name developed and trademarked by Hydro Grow. Sellers also imply to end users they are using Hydro Grow's Quantum LED Balanced spectrum, which the company is widely known for. The sites confuse consumers by using trademarks owned by Hydro Grow while displaying copyrighted Hydro Grow product photos on its pages, and even linking out to PRWeb press releases issued by Hydro Grow, implying to any viewer they are a reseller of genuine Hydro Grow products.
Mckenzie stated, "Numerous customers have contacted us saying they were scammed by fraudulent sellers of counterfeit LED Grow Lights. They have even provided us email confirmation that company owners have been telling customers they are selling legitimate Hydro Grow products, when we have no association with these companies whatsoever. We advise these customers to contact the UK Trading Standards Institute and file a formal complaint, as well as a chargeback with their credit card providers since the sellers are falsely misrepresenting their products as our own."
According to Mckenzie, counterfeit sellers make the big promise of delivering Hydro Grow performance, parts and quality, yet fail to include any of the quality components contained in a true Hydro Grow product. She stated "The LEDs used in these cheaper replicas are low-BIN, which means low lumen output with high power draw, whereas Hydro Grow uses only the highest-BIN delivering up to double the output with the same power consumption. The counterfeits also lack high quality copper-core heat sinks and dual ball-bearing cooling fans, or a legitimate X2 lens. The fooled customer will be lucky if they get half the performance out of the reverse-engineered X-Lens, low-BIN LEDs, and inferior cooling methods. You can't expect quality when these sellers rely on lies and cheap prices for marketing".
According to Mckenzie, the only way to presently verify that you are purchasing a legitimate Hydro Grow product is to make sure it is gunmetal in color, has the words "Extreme LED" and "X2″ cut into the sides of the casing, and is sold by one of the authorized retailers shown on the Hydro Grow website.

• $$$ • Italian
This handsome white-linen, wood-paneled ristorante off the downtown Hotel Vintage Park might appear the product of a hotel-restaurant cookie cutter, from waiters with Continental accents to busers in neckties. But closer inspection rewards with inspired-Italian-with-a-flourish fare—a melting braised pork shank over fat corona beans crowned with horseradish gremolata; crispy duck over farro studded with marinated figs; a distinctively seasoned pasta alla chitarra with braised pork, rosemary, and ricotta—and a record of consistency unusual in a hotel property. The centrally located room is intimate, warmed by a wood-burning oven, and upstairs boasts a private room resembling an aristocrat's library.

On the Senate side, there were similar demands for some changes in Paulson's bailout blueprint.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said there must be oversight, and he wants to structure the package to ensure that taxpayers are the first to be paid back "once conditions in the industry stabilize and recover."
He added that "the last thing any of us want is to be back here in a month coming up with some new plan because this didn't work. It's important that we act quickly, but it's more important that we act responsibly."
Some in the financial world are also lobbying for changes. They want the bailout to be expanded beyond banks to cover other financial services industries, and are arguing against Democratic efforts to reduce mortgage rates for those facing foreclosure.
Despite Paulson's alarming scenario described on Sunday morning news shows, by the end of the weekend, political opposition was growing.
Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate who recently said the fundamentals of the economy were strong, told NBC's "Today" show, "We are in the most serious crisis since World War II."
Earlier McCain said he would insist on an oversight board because he is "greatly concerned that the plan gives a single individual the unprecedented power to spend $1 trillion on the basis of not much more than "Trust me."
He suggested candidates for the board, such as billionaire financier Warren Buffett, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
McCain also said that the final deal must make sure that taxpayer cash did not pay for bonuses to executives whose firms had to be rescued.
One executive actually rejected his bonus.
Shareholders of the giant insurance company American International Group, which was given a $85 billion government lifeline last week, were scheduled to meet Monday.
AIG's fired CEO Robert Willumstad informed the company that he would not accept the $22 million severance payment that was part of his contract, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Despite the objections, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted Congress would pass a package this week.
ABC's Ann W. Compton, Jake Tapper, George Stephanopolous and Alice Gomstyn contributed to this report.

Cambodia is ranked among the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. This is not only due to climate risks, but also to lack of capacity to adapt and respond. Eighty percent of the population lives in rural areas with limited knowledge, infrastructure and opportunities; and more than 70 percent rely on agriculture that is heavily sensitive to climate change, putting the country's economic and social development at risk.

Nicole Scherzinger tweeted an adorable snap of her and Rylan Clark who had carefully spelled out the words: "Happy Thanksgiving, love Nicole and Rylan" in sweets.
Nicole and Rylan went all out with paper turkeys and signs and everything. They also looked like proper little BFFs in the photo. Too cute.

Nicole Scherzinger also tweeted this photo and said she was thankful for the balls on the tree. Standard. Copyright …She tweeted this morning: "Even though I'm in the UK it's still #thanksgiving for me, so today I'm celebrating a whole day of #givethanks..."
She started her thankful tweets with a dedication to her family: "I am #thankful for my mom Rosemary and my family. I love you so much I wish I was with you all back home"
That got us a little bit emotional. But the second Thanksgiving tweet was in true Scherzy style.

At 92% water, this fruit should feel heavy when you heft it. Precut melon flesh should be dense, firm and appear moist. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or keep in a cool, dark spot. Cover the cut surface of melon with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Syrian Civil War's Death Toll Tops 100,000
"More than 100,000 people have been killed, and millions of people have either been displaced or become refugees in neighboring countries," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters Thursday.
Secretary Kerry Delivers Remarks With UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
2. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Remarks on Syria:
Today, we have a lot to cover, therefore I'll be very brief what we are going to discuss. First of all, of course, we will be discussing this appalling situation in Syria. The conflict is now continuing almost two and a half full years. More than 100,000 people have been killed. Millions of people have either been displaced or become refugees in neighboring countries. We have to bring this to an end. The military and the violent actions must be stopped by both the parties.
And it is thus imperative to have a peace conference in Geneva as soon as possible, as was initiated by Secretary Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov. Our Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi and I will spare no efforts to convene this meeting as soon as possible.
At the same time, as you may know, the head of chemical weapons investigation team, Dr. Sellstrom, and my High Representative for Disarmament Angela Kane have just visited Syria, are meeting senior officials of the Syrian Government to discuss about the modalities of investigation. We will get a report since they are coming out of Syria now. We'll get the report soon.

Conrad Murray blames another doctor for fueling Michael Jackson's painkiller addiction
Doctor's interview with police is played to jurors during his trial
Murray, who is currently on trial for involuntary manslaughter over the singer's death, will not testify at the trial, but an interview he gave to police was played yesterday (October 10) for the trial's jurors, reports CNN.
Asked about Jackson's medication habits, Murray said he was treating the singer with several sedatives, including the notoriously powerful propofol. He also outlined that though the singer had told him he wasn't visiting any other doctors to obtain other painkillers, he was aware that the Jackson was visiting "A Dr. Klein" who prescribed him the power painkiller Demerol.
He said in his interview:
I was not aware of any other medications that he was taking, but I heard that he was seeing a Dr. Klein three times a week in Beverly Hills clinic in the weeks before his death. His production team had said to me that his worst days in the set is when he had gone to Dr. Klein's office, which is about three times a week and when he came back, he was basically wasted and required at least 24 hours for recovery.
Murray also said that he was trying to wean the singer off propofol and blamed the singer's use of Demorol for his inability to sleep, an inability that led to him demanding to be given more sedatives on the night of his death.
On the night he died, Jackson had taken doses of valium, lorazepam and midazolam and was still unable to sleep, telling Murray he desperately needed propofol, which he called his "milk". Murray said he eventually gave him a dose and after he briefly left the room, he came back to find the singer unconscious. He was unable to resucitate Jackson.
Asked why he hadn't called the emergency services sooner than he did, Murray explained he expected answering the emergency operator's questions would have taken too much time away from the resuscitation efforts.
The trial continues.

"I think what makes 'The Nutcracker' so popular," began Bob Stanley, Ballet Northeast's board president, "is that it's very colorful, very intriguing, engrossing visually."
The tale has never changed: based on a story by German author E.T.A. Hoffman and a musical by Tchaikovsky, it tells the tale of young Klara, who receives a nutcracker present on Christmas Eve that she falls asleep with under the tree. She awakens to find herself immersed in a fantastical world of larger-than-life mice, soldiers, angels, and the Nutcracker himself, who has turned into a handsome prince. He whisks Klara away into the Land of Sweets, where the duo meets all types of characters, from Arabian Coffee to Russian Candy Cane dancers.
"When it premiered in 1896 in the Soviet Union, the music by Tchaikovsky was popular, but the ballet wasn't such a big hit," Stanley, who will dance in the production for the fourth time this year, said. "It caught on in America in the 1950s with television. And now, every holiday season, it'd be hard to find a ballet company that's not doing it. Also, for most ballet companies, this accounts for 40 to 50 percent of their income every year."
Stanley said "The Nutcracker" remains a top performance because it's the perfect ballet to see if you've never been to the ballet before.
It's also great for kids.
"It's really just a series of little vignettes," he continued, "and because of that, even young children with a short attention span will still be captivated."
Performers in Ballet Northeast's production range from three years old to 88.
As Stanley pointed out, it's a colorful production as well. Costumes are bright and eye-catching, with each group of "sweets" sharing a common, sugary theme.
Ballet Northeast owns its costumes, though Stanley said they had to replace some tutus this year, which cost six to seven thousand dollars.
"Our operating budget every year is $75,000," he said, "and we're looking to expand that. We want to replace scenery, get a few more props."
Allowing for the Ballet to do such things is important, as it helps to keep it going, something Stanley said is imperative for the local art scene.
"We've always felt that the ballet is the best kept secret in the Valley," he said. "It's a great organization and an important part of the community. It's very important to keep the arts alive."
Ballet Northeast will hold its annual performances of the Christmas classic this weekend at Wilkes University.

Gwardia Ludowa WRN (GL WRN, People's Guard of WRN) was a part of the Polish resistance movement in World War II. Created in 1939 by Polish Socialist Party - WRN faction, since 1940 it was subordinated to ZWZ (name changed to Armia Krajowa (AK) in 1942) with a degree of autonomy. In 1944 it numbered about 42,000 people. It was disbanded in early 1945. Together with the Home Army or Armia Krajowa proper, the People's Guard "Freedom Equality Independence" did try, and on a small scale succeeded (some remote araeas only), in providing the Polish citizens with the Polish Underground Police and court system independent from that of the nazi German occupant. The civilian head of the Gwardia Ludowa WRN was Kazimierz Puzak.

Ice causes interstate woes
MONTPELIER Rapid icing of Interstate 89 in the Berlin and Montpelier area led to a three-vehicle accident and sent several others off the road Monday evening.
The accident was reported just before 9 p.m. near Exit 7. The northbound lane was shut down for a time so the accident could be cleared.
Earlier, at least half a dozen cars slid off the highway between exits 8 and 9, according to reports to dispatchers.
Authorities responding to the slide-offs at about 8:30 reported solid ice on the roadway, and one said he was unable to stop even at 20 mph.
Traffic became backed up at Exit 8 as southbound tractor-trailers and other vehicles were unable to make it up the hill on the interstate.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE TOWN Citing a desire to get out earlier and to have more time to work, the Select Board...

Going in for a routine physical a few years ago I mentioned that the air sometimes seemed
when I walked up the hill in my backyard.
First, there was a chest X Ray and then a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). I have asthma and the PFT test indicated a significant loss of capacity. I was shocked.
I had always thought that if I had a serious lung problem that it would be hard to inhale. I was completely wrong as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis usually/always? reduce the ability to
Check this point on your own. One important quick test is to exhale as rapidly as possible and measure the
peak flow rate
using a simple meter. The PFT makes a better measurement by measuring the maximum volume exhaled in 1 second and also makes several more detailed measurements.
I also had a big misconception about the structure of the lungs. I had pictured the lungs as largely hollow with convoluted structure around the outside. The lungs have no large hollow volume and are more like a sponge consisting of branching bronchial tubes, blood vessels, and about 300,000,000 alovei spherical air cavities.
If anyone suspects breathing problems have your lung function measured with a PFT.
My symptoms were not bad. Throughout I play tennis and can play singles. An inhaler makes a very noticeable difference if I, for example, exercise on an elliptical.
There is no clear trigger. I try to avoid dust especially the 'respirable' particle size that is too fine to see and gets into the lungs more than the big stuff. Vacuum cleaners do well catching the larger visible dust but they pass finer dusts to some degree back into the air. HEPA filter are probably best but they only claim to filter down to a certain size - 99.97% of particles 0.3 micrometers and
- that does not necessarily include much of the respirable particles that are smaller than 0.3 micrometers.

How long do particulates float in the air? Scientific basis for settling times based from on air resistance of spherical bodies.

Thai PM could face murder charges over protest deaths: Lawyer
Published on Mar 4, 2014 6:11 PM
BANGKOK (AFP) - Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could face murder charges after relatives of two anti-government protesters who died following clashes with police filed a complaint with a criminal court, a lawyer said Tuesday.
The protesters were among six people - including two policemen - who died after an outbreak of violence on Feb 18, which saw barrages of gunfire and at least one grenade thrown at police in Bangkok's historic heart as officers tried to clear a protest site near Government House.
Under Thai law, the court will now have to decide whether the complaints are strong enough to warrant trial, lawyer Chaiwat Sittisuksakul told AFP.
The broad daylight bloodshed, near the city's backpacker zone, was the deadliest episode in four months of protests aimed at ousting Ms Yingluck and her government.

"On the issue of protecting fishermen"
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president M. Karunanidhi on Sunday criticised the Centre for adopting double standard when it came to protecting fishermen from Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
In a statement, he said he was pained to note that the Centre had acted swiftly in arresting two Italian marines for killing two fishermen from Kerala, while it adopted a "soft stand" with regard to recurring attacks by Sri Lankan Navy on fishermen from Tamil Nadu.
He urged Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to follow the example shown by her Kerala counterpart Oommen Chandy to save the lives of fishermen from Tamil Nadu.
He criticised the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government for not providing relief measures to the drought-stricken people of the State even though relief measures were announced two months ago.
He complained that the government had not given adequate attention to the problem of drinking water shortage being experienced by 11 districts, including Salem.

A Gallup poll was taken on the views of legalizing marijuana in the U.S. It is now extra clear that majority of the U.S wants the legalization of marijuana. 58% of the people believe that we should end prohibition on marijuana. The legalization in Colorado and Washington state have definitely helped in this process. The people are seeing how marijuana is helping us more than it's hurting us.
It was no surprise when I read that Americans 65 and older are the only age group that still opposes legalizing marijuana. Although, it is up 14% since 2011. That makes me very happy to see that it is moving up even though it's slowly. I'm proud to say my grandpa (70) believes in legalization and he's never or wanted to use marijuana. He's as, if not more, passionate about it than me.
The next 2 years will be a big test if this poll is entirely true. A lot of states and cites are getting ready to try and legalize marijuana. Let's hope everyone gets out and votes!

What every federal manager should know for 2010
Tuesday - 6/15/2010, 3:10pm EDT
By Dorothy Ramienski
Internet Editor
Federal News Radio
Top names in managing the people-side of government are meeting today to talk about ways to get the most (and best) out of federal workers.
The Executive Update 2010 Conference is sponsored by the Senior Executive Association's Professional Development League in affiliation with Deloitte Consulting Human Capital Practice.
Federal News Radio told you about the conference on Wednesday morning's Federal Drive.
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey talked with SEA president Carol Bonosaro, who says her organization is gearing up to create new best practices with President Obama's Labor-Management Forums.
"The President's Management Council has three working groups looking at various aspects of the SES, including some of the usual suspects -- how to make more meaningful distinctions in performance ratings and performance awards, looking at the hiring process and bringing folks in from outside government. So, they're dealing with a number of issues. It's going to be interesting to see where they think about going."
Bonosaro says there are a lot of detractors when it comes to the SES. Federal News Radio told you about their recent survey, which showed that pay is not the sole attractor when it comes to becoming a member of the SES, but other circumstances, such as long hours, often overrule salary.
"[We have] got to do a few things to make it more appealing. One of them that we're pushing for is to make these performance awards count towards the high-3. We do have to do something about pay, because, while people don't come into the government because of the pay, we do know that as these 15s look at the SES and know they're going to lose locality pay, that all pay adjustments are totally discretionary, all based on performance. We've got to do something to say, 'Look, at least if you are rated fully successful, you're doing a good job. You're going to get an annual market-based pay adjustment'. So, it's not the big driver, but some of these things have to be in place if we're going to continue to attract the best and the brightest."
Another factor has to do with the fact that there are a variety of pay systems that exist now, which means a GS-15 could potentially earn as much as a senior executive, which eliminates some incentive for making the move.
"There's got to be some incentive in there somewhere. As I say, pay isn't the big incentive, but it can't be a disincentive, which it certainly seems to be right now," she concluded.
Also on the show: Patricia Niehaus, national president of the Federal Managers Association, who chatted with Causey about the possibility of federal pay freezes and more.

Numerous studies over the past four decades have established that pesticides, which are typically applied at the land surface, can move downward through the unsaturated zone to reach the water table at detectable concentrations. The downward movement of pesticide degradation products, formed in situ, can also contribute to the contamination of ground water. Once in ground water, pesticides and their degradation products can persist for years, depending upon the chemical structure of the compounds and the environmental conditions.
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) investigated the occurrence of selected pesticides and their degradation products in ground water during a study funded by the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. Specifically, the authors examined several of the factors that can influence the likelihood with which pesticides and their degradation products are detected in shallow ground waterincluding oxidation-reduction (redox) conditions and ground-water residence timesat four study sites across the United States. Results from the study were published in the May-June 2008 issue of the Journal of Environmental Quality.
The study revealed that the pesticides and degradation products detected most frequently in shallow ground-water samples from all four areas were predominantly from two classes of herbicidestriazines and chloroacetanilides. None of the insecticides or fungicides examined were detected in ground-water samples. In most samples, the concentrations of the pesticide degradation products greatly exceeded those of their parent compounds. Pesticides or their degradation products were detected most commonly in ground water that recharged between 1949 and 2004, and in monitoring wells spanning the full depth range (about 2 to 52 m) examinedfrom the shallowest to the deepest wellsin all four study areas. Comparisons of pesticide concentrations with a variety of environmental variables ind

Thanks again for the quick reply. I'll do it again later today. (I think I was inconsistent with another one…so might do two minor name changes, whoops – see how it goes this time).
Hi Dzinc,
I've sent a message to reviewer about the name change on one file. And on another have requested a price change to match two similar files.
Hi Interspace, I just realized your item keeps being automatically updated.
What that means is, when an item is edited with minor changes/updates, which don't require an in-depth revision by a reviewer, such as thumbnails or item descriptions, the item is updated automatically and does not go through a reviewer.
Since the system currently has no way of knowing and differentiating requests made only through the Note to the Reviewer box, unfortunately your request was not picked up by a reviewer. I truly apologize for the inconvenience.
I was just now informed that there are two ways which an item name change and/or price review request is indeed received by a reviewer. One is by contacting support, and the other, which I believe to be faster, is by doing exactly what you previously did by leaving the reviewer a note, but also changing an item tag for example, which will be identified by the system as an update that requires reviewer approval.
Your patience is truly appreciated, and I apologize for the miscommunication. If you could please follow one of the options above, I'll once again make sure everything goes smoothly and your request is successfully looked into. Thanks!
Ah – yes, I thought something wasn't quite going to plan.
I have added a relevant tag to each file (have now changed all three in that set – one price, two names) – and have the progress bars showing they are being reviewed now.
Thanks for your help, and looking into it again. Will know what to do in the future. (But will also be more careful about naming I think!)
Helpful Information
- Please read our community guidelines. Self promotion and discussion of piracy is not allowed.
- Open a support ticket if you would like specific help with your account, deposits or purchases.
- Item Support by authors is optional and may vary. Please see the Support tab on each item page.
Most of all, enjoy your time here. Thank you for being a valued Envato community member.
