Contemporary Art Market Karma at Phillips de Pury Pt. 1 – artmarketblog.com
Contemporary Art Market Karma at Phillips de Pury Pt. 1 – artmarketblog.com
Sotheby's and Christie's tend to pull the wool over the eyes of the market when they produce their "not so contemporary" art auctions which is why the contemporary art focused auction house Phillips de Pury is the one to watch when it comes to the contemporary art market. Since dedicating themselves to the contemporary art scene, and proving themselves dedicated to promoting the work of "true" contemporary artists, Phillips de Pury have had to deal with the volatility of the contemporary art market and have struggled to compete with the power of Sotheby's and Christie's. Having endured a succession of ups and downs over the last few years, the risk Phillips de Pury have taken on young emerging talent and many of today's leading contemporary artists is currently paying off as the market for contemporary art heats up.
The success of their Contemporary Art Evening sale, which realized £11,243,350/$16,923,234 in total, selling 95% by value and 87% by lot, proves that Phillips de Pury do have the potential for greatness – but only under certain conditions. Although they were able to achieve a 189% growth on their 2010 London June Contemporary Art Evening Sale, close analysis of their catalogue reveals a clever strategy that takes full advantage of a range of current trends. Being a company that focuses on a rather narrow niche compared to most other auction houses, the opportunity to take advantage of such a wide range of strong trends within that niche is usually quite rare but is becoming more frequent as the number of strong submarkets of the global contemporary art market increase.
What makes the contemporary art market so difficult to profit from, especially for a contemporary focused auction house, is that the market for contemporary art is essentially driven by a series of trends within an ever changing and ever increasing number of submarkets. These often volatile submarkets can be defined by many different factors and characteristics including culture, geography, style, medium and many others. Because all these submarkets progress at different rates and operate at different levels of maturity, they all require a slightly different approach, which means unless your business is focused on a particular submarket of the contemporary art market, which most auction houses aren't (except Macdougall's Russian art auction house), finding a successful approach for a submarket is often a case of trial and error.
By focusing on a niche market that has as many highly active submarkets as the contemporary art market does, and is driven primarily by primary market sales, Phillips de Pury have put themselves in a position where they need to try and keep ahead of current trends as much as possible and, if viable, maintain as much of a primary market presence as possible. One way that Phillips try to maintain a primary market presence is by championing the work of contemporary artists who they feel are worthy of the attention – artists such as Ugo Rondine who Phillips achieved a record price for during their 27th June Contemporary Art Evening Auction. According to Simon de Pury "We are very pleased with the strong and solid results for this evening's sale that saw spirited bidding. We are thrilled with the record price for Ugo Rondinone who we first introduced to the secondary market and is an artist we have always championed."

Jessica Lange: Behind the camera
Actress is looking for the quiet moments in her photos, now on display at MOPA
"But little by little, friends would see it, family would see it, somebody would say, 'Why don't you show your work? Show your photographs to so and so.' That's how this all came about."
When she's out with her camera, Lange says she has no preconceptions about what she might shoot. She's looking for the "drama of the moment," wherever and whenever that happens.
"A great deal of it has to do with this sense of theater, this sense of staging," she said. "Obviously, having worked with some of the great cinematographers and seeing how they can prompt emotion through their lighting, and how a director does that through staging, when I see that naturally happening in front of me, those are the moments I want to lift my camera and take the shot."
Many of those moments have been in Mexico, in particular Oaxaca, a "magical" place where she frequently vacations.
"I arrive in Mexico and it's thrilling for me to be out on the street with a camera," she said. "The people know me now. They all kind of look at me curiously. I'm sure they wonder what I'm up to. And yet they are so incredibly kind and generous, just allowing me to photograph them."
And just allowing her to be anonymous.
Jessica Lange
Hails from: Born in Cloquet, Minn., to Albert John Lange, a traveling salesman and teacher, and Dorothy Florence Lange, a housewife.
Movies: She made her film debut in 1976's "King Kong," but it was her role in "Tootsie" six years later that garnered her a lot of acclaim.
Television: She's created big personality characters on FX's horror anthology "American Horror Story."
Awards: Lange has won two Academy Awards: a best supporting actress Oscar for her portrayal of a soap-opera actress in 1982's "Tootsie" and a best actress Oscar for her role as a military officer's wife in 1994's "Blue Sky."

KINGSPORT — A Kingsport police investigation into online prostitution has prompted charges against three North Carolina women.
According to arrest reports vice detectives contacted the women online, with them agreeing to meet their prospective clients Tuesday in the Model City. Sgt. Tim Crawford said the women were using Backpage.com, a classified website similar to Craigslist. They allegedly advertised they would be in the Tricities, or willing to travel to the region.
At an undisclosed hotel within the city two women met with an undercover officer, with each allegedly agreeing to have sex for $300. Police then arrested each for prostitution, according to the report, and located two Percocet and cut straws during a search.

What's up this Weekend?
The weekend Rocks!
The EDN picks for a good nights entertainment out on the town.
The weekend Rocks!
Cheap Champagne and Midnight Kisses…what do you have planned for New Years?
Saturday Night on the Town: Ducks vs USC at the Cooler, then we'll spend a little time with the Eager Beavers.
Chuck Palanhiuk is in town and there is a Duck football game tomorrow against USC. Could Night on the Town have a better edition to start the official weekend?
Sitting here wishing we had remembered to pre-mix that bloody mary we mentioned you should do last night, but all in all it was worth it. One more Halloween in the books. Level UP, Orion, Undermind and Small Joys….oh yeah.
Night on the Town comes back early this week for a special Halloween edition that is sure to get your fright night headed in the right direction.
Night on the Town returns with Oakshire, a Dirty Spoon, the Twangshifters and an alternative option.
This has to be the busiest Friday night ever, what with the Pack 12 Championship and Chris Robinson Brotherhood in town. There's plenty of other choices as well in our little hamlet; something for every taste in music and venue. Let's get out into the night and find the hot spots, no excuses.
The Ducks must have a direct line to the Weather Goddess to order up a day like this for the Civil War. Fans will be gathered in every sports bar in town to watch the action and the beer will flow like the McKenzie after all the recent rain. After last week's upset, we all need to show our Ducks a little extra love, just like the Weather Goddess. When it's all over, get out and share the glory or the grief, which ever way it goes. There's music out there to soothe the soul, so no excuses people.
The holiday has officially started and we enter into the time of more family gatherings than is healthy for some of us. None the less, there is no time like the day after the national turkey feast to get out and find some anonymous comfort in a dimly lit club filled with mind bending music.

Hyundai apprentice of 2011: Connor's dedication pays off
Published at 11:08, Thursday, 24 November 2011
ENGINES, gearboxes and break systems are no match for Workington mechanic Connor Southwell.
The 19-year-old, who works for J Edgar and Son at Dunmail Park, was this month named Hyundai's apprentice of the year.
Connor battled it out against the industry's top mechanics to be named the best in business.
But the technician has had a passion for cars all his life.
"As a young teenager I started to work on cars seriously, I was always at local car cruises and my whole family love cars.
"Becoming a mechanic was the only career option for me," he said. "I love everything about it, so starting a career in it was a given."
Connor, of Harrington Road, started his apprenticeship with the Workington dealership 18 months ago after taking on a placement there through Lakes College, Lillyhall.
He had originally undertaken a 12-month NVQ course in mechanics at the college and was ready to progress onto the next stage of his development.
He said: "I finished a level two qualification at college and am now onto my level three.
"For the Hyundai apprenticeship, I was put of a fast-track group because of the skills and abilities I already had.
"I go down to the Hyundai training centre at High Wycombe every six to 12 weeks for a block release of one week at a time.
"It's very independent training there and you're working alongside some of the best Hyundai apprentices and top technicians in the country.
"You're expected to do a lot of your own self-directed work there. But it's a fantastic place to train – it's a purpose-built centre known as the Hyundai academy."
J Edgar and Son is an affiliated dealership with Hyundai.
Connor's manager Tony Hodgson, who is after-sales manager at the garage, said the team were impressed with him from the moment he started his three-week trial with the firm.
"He has effectively done a three-year course in two – so he has proved to be extremely dedicated," he said.
Connor said he has only 10 months left before his Hyundai apprenticeship ends.
"I've not found it too difficult really. It's all gone quite quickly but it's great having my hobby and career rolled into one," he said. "What more could anyone ask for really? I look forward to going to work every day, and the support and encouragement I get from the team at J Edgar is fantastic – it's a great team to work within and environment to train in. There's a lot of teamwork that goes on here."
The teenager was submitted for the award following his success in his apprenticeship and the results he received from the Hyundai academy.
"I was handed my awards by the chief executive of Hyundai, Tony Whitehorn, at a ceremony in Birmingham at the end of September," Connor said. "It felt wonderful to be picking up the top award out of all the other apprentices who had trained alongside me. They were all a similar age to me.
"Tony also came with me as my manager from J Edgar and for a bit or moral support."
Following his successful apprenticeship with the car manufacturer, Connor said he plans to go on to do more training to become a master technician. It means a further three to five years spent working towards the qualification, which will still be through the J Edgar dealership.
"My ultimate dream is to make it to the Skills Olympics which would mean battling it out against other master technicians for a place," Connor added. "I'd then have to go to Germany for more heats then on to Korea where I would compete against the best technicians from all over the world.
"As part of it I would have to rebuild an engine from scratch in 30 minutes and complete other tasks set by Hyundai procedures. But that's a goal I will have to work towards for the next few years."
Tony added: "When we took Connor on for his placement he showed so much potential so he was fast-tracked through the training scheme. He has done brilliantly.
"He thoroughly deserves the Hyundai award for all the hard work he has put in and all the re-paid trust we have given him."

Since a lot of people (not including myself) were upset by Korn's decision to work with electronic musicians, I took it upon myself to make a version of The Path of Totality that removes all the electronic elements and strips it down to just guitars, bass, drums, and vocals.

pure rumor and speculation, don't believe anything about the "iPhone 5" until apple holds the press conference and says it themselves. But anyways, I see no reason apple would revert to a standard sim size, the micro sim saves them space to keep the device as slim as possible.

SORRY, Superman. The largest animal capable of soaring across the sky unaided could have weighed no more than a labrador. Or so says some controversial research which claims to cast doubt on the flying ability of the quarter-tonne pterosaur.
Katsufumi Sato of the University of Tokyo, Japan, travelled to the Crozet Islands, halfway between Madagascar and Antarctica. He attached accelerometers, the size of AA batteries, to the wings of 28 birds from five large species, including the world's biggest flying bird, the wandering albatross.
Unlike turkeys or bustards, whose short wings are good for quick take-off but not for soaring, these birds fly long distances using dynamic soaring - they ride changing wind currents without moving their wings. When the wind dies down, or blows at a constant speed, they have to flap or be pulled down by air resistance and gravity.
Months of data from Sato's instruments showed that ...

Comptroller Recommends Update
County Reviews Written Credit Card Policy
Posted: April 24, 2013 at 5 a.m.
A small problem with some of the 67 credit cards available to Benton County elected officials and employees has prompted a look at a written policy for use of the cards.
At A Glance
Credit Card Controls
Credit cards issued to Benton County elected officials and employees are limited in their use, and the county is taking steps to ensure those rules are observed. Sarah Daniels, comptroller, said the county is working with the banks that issue credit cards to have merchant code information added to the accounts. When anyone attempts to use a county credit card in a type of business or for a specific purchase that's not authorized, the transaction will be blocked.

Create the Perfect Title Page with BibMe!
Title pages can be tricky business. There are so many options to consider—where does the class name go? What's a running head and subtitle? What order do they go in?
We're excited to announce that you can now create the perfect title page on BibMe!
With BibMe's new title page feature, students can create a perfect title page in minutes.
How can you access the title page tool?
It's simple! Go to BibMe.org and click on "Title Page Generator" in the top navigation and you'll be brought to the page where you fill out all of the information about your paper.
Simply add in the necessary information, select your formatting style and press "Create Title Page." From there, your title page will automatically download to your computer!
That was easy! What do you think about our new title page tool? Let us know in the comments!
APA admits errors in their new manual – BibMe unaffected
The America Psychological Association has just admitted that the newly published 6th edition of their APA Publication Manual contained a large number of errors, including inaccurate citation examples (for more information, including how to acquire a corrected copy, please visit http://apastyle.apa.org/manual/corrections-faqs.aspx). It's important that you know this if you are using the new manual to cite your references.
I'd like to stress that BibMe is technically not affected by these errors, as we have not yet implemented or begun to implement the rules/guidelines for APA 6. We are still following APA 5, but we will begin the process of updating to APA 6 once we have our copy of the style manual replaced. Updates on our progress will be posted periodically here on our blog.
Preview of upcoming release – MLA 7th edition updates and revamped Citation Guide
We've had a lot of people clamoring for the updated MLA 7th edition guidelines – and we're glad to report we're about 1 week away from completing our work on the updates. Along with updating the MLA guidelines for each of the source types we support, we're adding additional form fields to allow for more citing possibilities (like chapters for books, and cities within newspaper names).
Perhaps one of the biggest changes that is coming up in our next release is our revamped Citation Guide page. It will give in-depth explanations of lots of citation possibilities, along with plenty of example citations to show you how it's done. Take a look at what to expect:
MLA 7 updates coming soon
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! It may be slow in the bibliography world right now, but we're still working. The MLA guidelines were recently updated in the MLA Handbook, 7th edition and we've been hard at work to update BibMe to comply with these guidelines. Additionally, we've spent a lot of time on revising our Citation Guide to do a better job at explaining the guidelines for each source type and for each formatting style. We're expecting to have these updates completed by the end of the summer. Stay tuned for some previews.
Happy Holidays!
The entire BibMe team would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe, healthy, and enjoyable holiday season! Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, a great Kwanza, and a Happy New Year.
I know we've been promising everyone an update – believe us, it's almost done! It will absolutely be available in time for spring semester starting after the holidays. But for now, enjoy your winter break!
Post-Election update
I hope everyone got a chance to vote last night. Even if the candidate you voted for did not turn out to be the President-elect, please be aware that you took part in a democratic process that makes the United States as special as it is, and that you were a part of something important.
If you're wondering where our next release is – you should be happy to know we are putting the finishing touches on it. Only a few bugs need to get sorted out and then we will be ready to update the site. We're looking at about a week before we can resolve everything, but barring any catastrophes, you guys should be happier bibliographers very soon.
Here's a taste of things you will see with our next release:
- Tooltip help
- An additional source type
- Citation tagging
- Annotations
- Formatting style updates
Don't worry, we haven't forsaken you!
Hey, beloved bibliographers!
We just wanted to let you know we're still alive and hard at work. Hopefully, you didn't think we had disappeared or closed up shop. It's been difficult for the team to develop at the same pace that we were, considering most of us have graduated and are now working full-time. But we have some features in the pipeline coming up that we think you will enjoy. Some of these things have been works-in-progress for a while and are contingent on some other items being completed. But keep a look out for a release in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned!
Scheduled Downtime Tonight
We'll be pushing some changes out tonight. We don't expect any issues, but the site will be down for approximately 20 minutes from 3:15AM EST to 3:45AM EST.
UPDATE: We have successfully completed the deployment.
Future updates
We created this blog so that many of you could get an on-the-ground view of how development of BibMe is going. Over the summer, we listened to your feedback and kept track of all the bugs/feature requests that were reported. Last month, we got the go ahead from our Information Systems(IS) Professors/Advisors to continue developing BibMe for Fall 2007.
We were astounded by the number of users that began using BibMe, and by the sheer amount of feedback we received from the community; 117 requests to be exact!
Many of you mentioned that you would like the ability to edit bibliographies. This is a feature we've been meaning to add since day 1, so look for that to be implemented in the next few weeks. Also, look for Harvard Citation support to be implemented within a month. Alot of you have been asking for the ability to share and tag your bibliographies. In the next month, we'll be working on the User Interface(UI) and putting in the functionality for that.
Even more of you have been asking for database support, and to expand our selection of books, magazines, films, academic journals, and our "other sources". Rest assured we are working towards these things in the next 3 months. Some of you have wondered why we haven't considered a lot of proprietary databases; JSTOR, IMDB, etc. We'd love to support many of these items, but they would incur ridonculous licensing fees that we are unable to absorb in our current state.
As always, we depend on you to let us know if you run into any bugs, or if you think a certain feature would be a great addition to BibMe. Please feel free to contact us.
Alvin Fong
Welcome to the BibMe blog!
Hi folks! Welcome to our humble scrolling paradise on the interweb. We hope to use this space in the coming weeks to report on our progress towards launching what we feel is a ground breaking new approach to online bibliography generation. Stay Tuned!

Director Ang Lee is set to film Life of Pi and has chosen newbie actor Suraj from Delhi for the role of "Pi." Here's Lee's take on what the role of Pi entails:
"We searched throughout India for a young man who had the innocence to capture our attention, the depth of character to break our hearts, and the physicality needed to embody Pi on his journey. Suraj is Pi. During his audition, he filled the room with emotion, much of which he conveyed simply through his eyes. His natural ability to believe and stay in the world of the story is a rare treasure."

How a Near Life Experience Changed My Life
Perhaps it was being put deep under by the anaesthesia, for I am told it really is a little like dying. Well the closest one comes to dying without actually... dying; when you are sedated enough for them to cut into you. Maybe it was that which dropped me deep into myself, enough to touch the stuff that really mattered. The debris hidden behind decades of conditioning shot to the top.

Somebody has to be the one to go out there, get on the mound
and take control of the game.
For a recent Southmont graduate, that didn't seem to be a
Mountie ace Morgan Laws is Montgomery County's 2015 Softball
Player of the Year. Together with her teammates, Laws helped propel the Lady
Mounties of Southmont to the regional-level for the second consecutive season.
For as long as I can remember, Montgomery County has been a
hot-bed for educating the area's youth in the way of sports.
This take shape in many forms – the foremost being summer
training camps and sessions for all of the adolescent residents of the county.
My experience took me through many organizations and
programs, several of which still exist today.
The Crawfordsville High School Athletic Department is offering student athletes of the Crawfordsville Community School Corporation the opportunity to obtain a physical exam for the 2015-16 school year. The physical exams will be given by a team of professionals from Crawfordsville. The physical will be given on Wednesday, July 29, 2015 in the Crawfordsville High School gymnasium. Physicals will be available from 6-8 pm that evening.
The Indiana Thunder Baseball Club is a travel baseball
organization comprised of young men from Indiana middle and high schools who
enjoy playing in a competitive, high atmosphere. Not only is baseball an
important aspect in the lives of these adolescents but so are academics,
leadership and the value of family and community. Thus, with this approach in
mind, we desire financial assistance. Often, players are not able to secure the
funds necessary to cover the cost required to compete at this level.
The moratorium week for high school athletes is here. I have
noticed several coaches on Twitter encouraging athletes to stay active and not
lose what they have gained over the summer. At this point in the summer I
always start looking forward to the fall sports. However, there is still lots
of summer left to improve.
Baseball started back in March and is still going strong.
Travel baseball teams are not under the same rules for the moratorium week so
they are still allowed to compete in tournaments. The 17U Indiana Thunder team
which is a local team won the Hoosier Wooden Bat Tournament held at Anderson
University over the weekend.
MATTOON, Ill. – Byron Cox Post 72 took part in the Mattoon, IL, Wood Bat Firecracker Classic over the weekend, battling Mother Nature, and three of the toughest teams from Illinois. They would finish 1-2 on the weekend, and now stand at 10-6.
Cox was scheduled to have two games on Friday, one at 10AM and another at 2PM. However, Mother Nature prevailed that day as all of the tournament games were cancelled. So, for the second week in a row, Post 72 had to juggle pitching plans to accommodate.
To some, fun means a relaxing weekend spent on the couch, most likely collecting the crumbs and spills of a well-deserved day off.
But to others, it means getting out there, celebrating life and yes – getting a little dirty.
The Warrior Dash weekend at Tom's Marine saw more than 7,000 racers from all over the country united in one jubilant athletic event – an event intended to celebrate life and health, and to raise funds for a fantastic cause.
With more than six thousand participants expected at this
year's Warrior Dash, held at Tom's Marine, things are bound to get messy in the
Nearly 6,200 racers from around the region attended last
year's Warrior Dash, which has been touring the nation since its founding in
2009. More than 400 participants started at the earliest time slot of 9 a.m.

German company Schuberth were found in 1922. Since then they have been producing protective headgear for Formula One, motorcycles and industrial workers. Schuberth is currently based in Magdeburg and employs about 300 employees, producing 1.5 million helmets each year.
In response to Michael Schumachers accident in 1999 at the British Grand Prix, Schuberth decided to take action and designed the QF1 helmet, a safer helmet which was later worn by Nick Heidfeld at the 2000 Formula One. The QF1 helmet was not only lighter than other helmets at the time but featured filters that removed fumes and dust for the air. Successfully this newly designed helmet was then worn by more drivers including the world champion at the time, Michael Schumacher. Schuberth helmets are worn by drivers still to this day.
Schuberth produce helmets for a variety of industrial purposes, including protection for firefighters and construction workers, producing full face helmets and head protection. The company also produces personal protective equipment, such as facial protection, ear defenders and cold weather equipment.
At Infinity Motorcycles, we've been Schuberth helmet stockists since the first Concept models were brought into the UK, our stores have staff trained by both the UK importer and Schuberth themselves. In addition to the standard two year warranty, all Schuberth helmets bought from Infinity Motorcycles since January 1st 2014 are eligible for an extended warranty. Register here to extend the warranty of your Schuberth helmet to 5 years.

Nothing to run on.
Click here to listen to the broadcast of You Tell Me on KTBB AM 600, Friday, January 26, 2012.
A little over three years ago, Peggy Joseph of Florida pulled her kids out of school to attend an Obama campaign rally. Speaking to a reporter afterward, overflowing with emotion she said,
"I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he's gonna help me."
Some 39 car and mortgage payments later, one can imagine that Peggy Joseph is a bit disillusioned. The hope and change that was swept into office on the magic carpet of Obama's soaring rhetoric has slammed into the wall of reality.
I remembered Peggy Joseph as I listened to the State of the Union address Tuesday and wondered if she was watching and, if so, what she might be thinking.
If you were a true Obama believer during the 2008 campaign, the address Tuesday had to have a hollow ring when listened to against the backdrop of three years of actual experience under an Obama administration.
Peggy Joseph's life isn't any better. Not only is she still having to make her own car and mortgage payments, it's likely that she's having a harder time doing so now than she was on that day three years ago.
The $787 billion stimulus didn't stimulate. There weren't any shovel-ready jobs. Obamacare, unpopular on the day it was enacted, is even more unpopular today. Rather than thousands of new "green energy" jobs as promised in previous State of the Union addresses, in 2011 we got instead a half billion dollars worth of Solyndra going down the drain. Instead of topping out at eight percent as promised by Obama, unemployment went considerably above that ceiling where it stubbornly remains. And as if these disappointments are themselves not bad enough, they are made worse for having played out against an unprecedented and truly frightening explosion in the national debt. (Editors note: In the original version of this post, the second sentence of the paragraph above beginning with the word, "Rather," referred to a half trillion dollars worth of Solyndra going down the drain. It now stands corrected.)
But despite these failures, all of which the president must surely in his heart acknowledge, in his State of the Union address he acted as if he had noting to do with any of them. He put forth ideas going forward as if none of the similar ideas of the recent past have proved to be abject failures.
The speech featured the usual laundry list of big-government bromides – punitive taxes on companies that operate overseas, job training programs, "investments" (read: even more spending) for education, "clean energy" tax credits, amorphous infrastructure projects, even more banking and financial regulation, even more corporate regulation, mortgage intervention, consumer "protections", and, of course, the perennial favorite, increased taxes on the rich.
All of these things may have sounded good to some in the last months of the Bush administration while in the midst of the housing meltdown. But today, the entire list sounds tired and shopworn.
State of the Union addresses in election years for incumbent presidents tend to be campaign kickoff events. That being so, for those hoping that Tuesday marked Obama's last State of the Union address, there is reason for optimism. Because the speech showed in stark relief that he has nothing to run on. If you doubt that ask yourself this: How much of Peggy Joseph's excitement of three years ago do you think she still had if she even bothered to watch on Tuesday night?
Solving the financial problems in Peggy Joseph's life can't be done by yet another give-away, big government, welfare program, even if she had gotten relief from BHO, himself. She is the duped victim of Barry's philosophy that is INTENDED to promote even more government dependency, because he is deceitful enough to buy votes with OUR money (OUR productivity) with false promises.
That is why she had the audacity to act like a government sponsored beggar with NO SHAME. This is an example of the depravity that this country has descended into. We can thank this sorry excuse of a President to double and triple down with his Marxist philosophy that continues to appeal to that half of the population that is willing to rob from the other half of the population that is painted as having unethically stolen from the poor. His rate of debt increase to the tune of $4 billion per day with NO real improvement in the US economy (for the last three years) is all the proof you need as he engages in huge give-away programs to his corporate, union, and community organizer (mob) supporters.
The productive part of America had better wake up to the BHO deception that has NO desire to solve the near Depression (bankrupt) STATE-of-the-UNION. He continues to believe that with his lying, mass-media, Socialist propaganda arm he can continue to lead us into his version of the Marxist utopia (that no society has ever achieved) with him being the Messiah-in-Chief, aka, Liar-in-Chief, with absolutely NO accountability.
Obviously, the media has taken what Peggy Joseph was saying totally out of context as they do so very often. She was implying that if she supports President Obama that he would help her. He has helped more than he has hurt. In fact, gas prices were soaring out of control when he took office, troops were battling to their death (and many did lose their lives) when he took office, Osama Bin Lauden was wreaking havoc and making threats when he took office. Let's not forget what President Obama HAS DONE since he took office. It is impossible to clean up the MESS former president Bush left this country in when he left office four years ago. Enough is Enough of the bad mouthing and disrespecting our (my) President. People always tend to focus on the negative or the rhetoric that stimulates negative reactions out of viewers and listeners, but what about the positive things he has done. Who says he has "nothing to run on"? He has plenty!! One simply needs to clearly evaluate the times before President Obama and compare now to then. He has PLENTY TO RUN ON.. His actions speaks louder than words because as you've shown, there is a misconception in words. Let's give President Obama the positive credit he deserves and STOP the disrespect such as the finger pointing from the Arizona governor. What does that say about her character? It speaks volumes because as previously stated, "actions speak louder than words."
Does Peggy Joseph even still have a job? Guess you could say that obama was doing his "green" part by recycling the same ole tired worn out ideas…you can't put a tutu on a pig and call it a ballerina!
I have a few questions for Peggy Joseph. If she is supposed to be a genuine subject (serf) of Obama-the-Great's new Marxist Empire, then why doesn't she support the minimum carbon foot print that is expected in His Kingdom? Why does she need gasoline and a car? Why isn't she using mass transit or car-pooling like a good little Socialist, some of whom worship the Earth? Why doesn't she find a federally subsided housing commune for shelter and avoid the mortgage payments altogether?
Doesn't she know how to become a national example of the Keynesian model citizen? [Keynes was a British Socialist-economist who lived from 1883 to 1946 and had huge influence on the creation of the modern Welfare State]. It was Keynes that proposed three major points for economic fairness and social justice in the post-Constitutional era.
1) Government provided (income) safety net.
2) Government provided (free) health care for all, regardless of income.
3) Government guaranteed housing for all who can't afford it.
Come on, Mr. Obama, quit hiding your REAL beliefs and agenda. Don't you believe in a Constitution of "Positive Rights" such as FDR and his Second Bill of Rights? Surely, this could be your creed.
Tell us why you didn't reprimand Peggy Joseph for her outlandish expectations. Why didn't you tell her to get with the Marxist good-citizen-program so we could see into your soul and also see what you have planned for the rest of us, i.e., Shared Prosperity/Sacrifice?
May God have mercy on this Nation – what's left of it!
You don't need to post this. Did you intend to say: "in 2011 we got instead a half BILLION dollars worth of Solyndra going down the drain?" I have the same problem. What's a few billion or trillion dollars in corruption really matter to this administration whose vocabulary doesn't include the English word "accountability".
Let's have a little more truth instead of blind political loyalty. The Office of President is to be honored, not necessarily the temporary politician that occupies the seat. That person can be honorable or despicable depending on whether or not he supports, defends, and follows the Constitution AS WRITTEN (his oath) not as he wished it to be. If that person subverts the Constitution and uses his administration to transform this Nation into a Marxist utopia in a deceptive manner (given his hidden beliefs), then should be opposed and defeated at the next opportunity possible.
The Congress is that part of the government that is supposed to block such a "President" that violates the Constitution and, if necessary, forcefully removed from office. The Constitution does not authorize a king, dictator, emperor, messiah, or union thug to run this country, even if he had won in the last election cycle. The current Congress is only a step above a puppet arm of Mr. Obama. A Congress willing to strongly defend the Constitution would have never let Mr. Obama get away with his illegal activity, so far.
By the way, the average US price for gasoline has gone from $1.83 to $3.32 while Mr. Obama has held office. The national debt (not deficit) has increased by 50% to $16 trillion in the same period of time, 3 years. I'm sorry to say that there is no question in my mind that he has MUCH TO RUN ON, given his goals and belief system.
Paul, Ms. Peggy Joseph is just another example of the success of the Liberal/Socialist agenda, to which President Obama subscribes and is trying to accomplish in the United States. One of the main tactics of Marxism is to dumb down the education system, and to make more and more people dependent on and subservient to the government. Ms. Joseph is a poster child for the paternalism that President Obama and many other community organizers, activists, and certain "pastors" use to keep this underclass on the "plantation". One would think that this populace would be very angry that these "custodians" do not think that their "wards" can succeed without affirmative action, quotas, and commercials that portray them in ways that are so contradictory to the facts. Until these citizens realize that paternalism is just another form of slavery, they will continue to be satisfied with being an underclass. How sad!
Every country on earth is struggling with a dismal world-wide economy that is wavering between a recession and a depression that has been in place for 4-5 years. Every one in this country hears about this every day. Do you think that poor people like Peggy Joseph who have few resources/options due to her education, skill base, or indebtedness are likely to solve their problems, alone? She will NEVER IGNORE the HOPE that the President provides regardless of his limited success to bring about the CHANGE that we were all expecting? At least President Obama is trying to solve these problems and return prosperity to this nation. He should get an "A" for effort.
As we have all learned, the poor at the bottom of the economic ladder suffer the most. It is totally logical for the President to demand Shared Sacrifice and a redistribution of the wealth in order to alleviate the suffering. The rich are most able to bear this extra burden until the economic problems are fixed. This is not based on class envy. It is based on simple fairness since there is NO ready cash available from any other source.
The cost of the safety net has exploded due to the length and depth of the recession that Bush started. Also, the recession has caused a major reduction of government revenues to help pay for the safety net. Together, these last two events have caused record indebtedness. I would rather the indebtedness arise from solving the national economic crisis than see our national treasure wasted fighting unwinnable wars in foreign (tribe infested) countries that have little hope of adopting a lasting democracy or our western economic culture.
President Obama's message will always appeal to Peggy Joseph and anyone that is suffering since he is requiring help from those most able to fund his attempt to solve the problem. Ideology simply has no place in this argument to win the hearts and minds of the less fortunate. Constitutional arguments that President Obama is going beyond his legitimate powers are going to land on deaf ears and he (Obama) knows this. FDR set the precedent 70 years ago for a Socialist agenda and nothing is going to change that.
The irony is that the majority of people like Peggy Joseph don't make car and mortgage payments at all. In fact, they rarely if ever pay for anything, since the liberals and "Democrats" in this country use our tax revenues to provide for their every need, leaving them free to watch "Oprah" and Cosby Kid re-runs all day.
A reasonable reform might include mandatory drug-testing for the recipients of welfare, since those who work to pay the taxes financing social welfare expenditures are routinely required to undergo drug-testing as a precondition for employment.
It would also be a great idea to automatically purge welfare recipients from juries and voter rolls, as long as they benefit from public monies in the form of transfer-payments.
One more point: Peggy Joseph (and other women who voted for Obama) are a clear example of why the Framers of the Constitution did not originally provide for women's suffrage…
At least "Shared Prosperity" has the courage to reveal his/her ideology (if not his/her identity), as most politicians will not even concede that FDR set a Socialist agenda. If someone would demonstrate to me just one country on the planet that has a Socialist government and the underclass is not living in dire circumstances, then I could give that form of government some credibility. However, just the reverse is true, and those in the U.S. have infinitely better living conditions; ie autos, big screen TV's, A.C., and plenty of food. The problem with Socialism, as Margaret Thatcher so aptly described, "is that you eventually run out of other people's money". When this happens, there is no funding to take care of those who truly need help, and then "hello Third World". If you yearn to be like Greece and some of the other European Socialist Countries, then just hang in there, your dreams will soon be realized!
Obviously, Obama hasn't helped her with gas for her car! Obviously he doesn't have anything to run on! But, does that matter? If we pay attention to what he says, we can read between the lines. Of course it is almost like code language. It seems that he knows something that the American people don't know! What is it? Some of us are begging for the answers. Of course trying to figure him out is a daily process. If people have read any of the books or articles about how to destroy a capitalist country….well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we are headed down that road. With all of this being said,why isn't he concerned with the upcoming election? Is it arrogance or is it that there is a plan in place already and he doesn't have to worry??? You tell us!!!
Concerned for my Country,
What Peggy Joseph said was NOT taken out of context in any way. There are so many who honestly believe Obama is the answer to all their "problems". Just one more example of not taking personal responsibility for your situation. I heard another lady who was applying for "free housing" say her place was coming from Obama's stash. When asked where his stash came from, she replied, "I don't know, but he has a stash and he is going to give me my house."
What did he run on in 2008 that got him elected? The same lies that he'll run on this time. Most people who will vote for him again have no clue that ANYTIME the government is handing out money, it comes from hard working Americans as opposed to Obama's stash.
I would love to see a law passed that in order to vote, you must pass a test on how our government is supposed to work based on the constitution, and should at least know who your senators and representatives are.
We highly question that the sixteenth amendment is constitutional. But I was in an endless fight with the Revenuers myself. This is what I have been claiming.
All you who defend this destroyer ( Obama) I hope he gets another 4 years- this country will be in a major Depression akin or worse then the Great Depression and I hope you SUFFER and find yourselves in food lines. You deserve it !
Like Reagan it's hard to remember what Margaret Thatcher was actually for. All she ever was was 'against.' Most female conservatives are like this. That's why they leave such a negligible footprint aside from sourness once they pass on.

John Harrigan: Growing up in the wilds of the North Country
In a column of 39 years and counting, you never know what the mailbag will bring. There's always the inevitable bad and sad stuff, but the bulk of it is good. I'm particularly tickled by the photos and experiences readers relate. So on this Memorial Day weekend, when we honor those who sacrificed so much to perpetuate our rights, beliefs and way of life, and as a World War II baby boomer, all I want to proffer is the good.
The rain was drumming down on the metal roof on the main barn yesterday when I got a call from Mary Lyster, one of my few relatives in the dwindling Harrigan family's roots in the Bethlehem-Littleton-Lisbon territory. She was seeking information about my Aunt Cam, who is married to my father's brother, Carl Harrigan, and who, at a ripe old age, has just received a hip replacement so she can walk again without pain. Walking has been one of the keys to her long life.
The rain was playing a tune on the metal roof when Mary called, and I could not hear her on the barn's phone because of the downbeat. When I called her back, she said "Don't you just love a storm?" And I said, "You bet."
Mary invoked my mother during that call, and rightly so. Our mother brought us up to appreciate the free fireworks of a good line of thunderstorms. This was not in the least to diminish the havoc that often results downstream. It was only to appreciate the here and now. She would throw us out of the house and into the rain, to build dams and dikes and outlets in the previous winter's deposits of sand and clay, with full expectation of hosing us off to be presentable at supper.
When I was a kid, not so very long ago, I was given over to Rudy and Joan Shatney, by mutual agreement by my parents and them, to more or less grow up at Clarksville Pond. Rudy was related to the Hurlberts, who had a magnificent farm, and view, at the foot of Ben Young Hill. This was along Route 145, where the power line might go - or probably might not.
On one day, when Kathleen and Jeannette Shatney and I had been left off at the Hurlbert place on account of some Rudy and Joan errand Down Below, a thunderstorm struck. And I'll never forget being commanded to kneel beside a bed, while the elder sisters read from the Bible. The Hurlberts, I much later learned, were part of a little-known then, and still-little-known now, sect known as the Black Stockings. For a while they thrived, but now are much petered out.
Whatever the sect, then and now, is part of our collective preservation. Looking back, given what's happening in other lands, I marvel at the tolerance. We now honor those who went and fought, in any way, for what too many take for granted.
Finally, to get off from the serious side, I can't help offering a missive and photo from a reader. It's of a tree marten, looking ridiculous, by dint of hanging upside down. Who wouldn't? The old warriors we honor would smile.
Tree martens, which in other places occupied by pine trees are called pine martens, are, according to the old-timers (that would not be me), the only creatures that can catch a red squirrel in a tree. And I'll tell you this (a refrain from my time visiting friends in Nashville), that's some fast.
Here is the missive, followed by a photo of one of many species, long here and once almost gone, retrieved by a commitment to righting old wrongs, and your license and excise tax dollars and mine:
"Your article today reminded me of last fall. While deer hunting near Errol, I heard some rustling nearby. I looked and saw a rabbit at full run being pursued by this guy. He heard me, broke off and scampered up at tree. I was able to get a couple of pictures. I never got a definitive identification but the consensus was a pine marten. I thought I'd get your opinion. - Randy Emerson, Bedford.
To which I replied, gratefully for all the effort applied, and the changing times, "Yup."

Tamar Braxton Covers UPSCALE Magazine, Opens Up About Vince, Infidelity, Side Pieces And Her Big Mouth
Serving face!
Tamar Braxton is "beat to capacity!" as she gets her blonde bombshell on on the cover of UPSCALE's July 2014 cover.
In the mag, the Grammy-nominated singer and reality star dished on her public relationship with hubby Vincent Herbert, revealing that their level of respect for each other has increased and that they've both matured post-Logan.
She also talked about "Instagram psychics" who suspect infidelity because of a couple of IG messages she's posted about side pieces. Tamar says though she was once a side chick herself, she doesn't play any of that when it comes to her marriage and that she was simply shedding light on women being proud of their number two status.
Catch the highlights!
On her relationship with Vince:
I don't think the level of exposure changed my relationship with Vince, I think the work that we do together changed our relationship. It went from me supporting Vince and all the things that he was doing to it switching around. He supports me and everything that I'm doing. It's like our relationship has taken a turn because communicate because we have to. We have to get along or else we couldn't get anything done. The level of respect for each other has increased and also, we've grown up because of it. The maturity of the relationship has matured. I know I've matured. Now he's a father, I'm a mother. We don't have time for that.
On social media and side chicks:
Everything I post is not personal for me, let's just go there. One of my post I call "Instagram psychics," everybody thinks they know what the hell you're talking about. There was a week where there was a lot of side chick posts on Instagram, and I was saying this is a repost—I don't know how that turned into the blogs saying that Vince is cheating on Tamar. I don't play with that, [laughing].
I just thought it was interesting that [being a side chick is] something that people are proud of these days. I wrote about this in my book, being a side piece, sometimes you don't know. But when you do know, you shouldn't be proud of it. If you're 100 percent woman, you should be loved 100 percent. One of [the posts] that worked on my last everlasting nerve said, "I can't help it if he chooses to be with me more than you." Excuse me!? And that's what I was saying, this is when you can tell that you're not somebody's wife because that should bother you. Why should it not bother you that this man gets up and leaves you to go home? Wait a minute, you have to want more than this. I just wanted women to know that and it somehow became Vince cheating on me, which was sad.
On her big mouth:
Watching yourself on television it's like, wait a minute! I didn't mean it like that! It took me a long time to understand that just because somebody is talking about something around me or to me does not mean that they want me to always talk or have something to say or want my opinion.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources says aquaculture projects should be promoted aggressively, because they contribute towards achieving the national goals of food self-sufficiency, poverty reduction and revenue generation.
The Ministry of Fisheries says aquaculture projects could also promote the consumption of fish significantly, as a way of enriching the diets of people with necessary and healthy fish protein.
Berhard Esau, the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, made these remarks last week during his visit to the Leonardville mini fish farm, which was the brainchild of the late Dr Abraham Iyambo during his tenure at the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources. Esau said the demand of extension services for fish farming has increased countrywide over the last few years.
He noted that the community of Leonardville has requested the ministry to provide more information on aquaculture and to help them in assessing the nutrient value of their land/soil, water quality and quantity, as well as to advise them on the best management practices and approaches to establish more fish farming projects. On its part, government through the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources will provide basic infrastructure and technical assistance to ensure that the community of Leonardville derives the greatest possible benefits from aquaculture.
Leonardville is a small village situated some 134km from Gobabis in the Omaheke Region on the fringes of the Kalahari desert.
Esau said the southern parts of the country (the Hardap, Omaheke, Khomas and Karas regions) possess the potential for aquaculture farming and already boast three fish farming projects at Leonardville, Fonteintjie and the Noordoewer settlement on the banks of the Orange River. He said the government's Targeted Intervention Programme for Employment and Economic Growth (Tipeeg) is ready to finance such initiatives in the south.
"While the large areas of the Omaheke Region have little water, the geo-hydrology division of the department of water affairs has researched information that shows there are sections of the region which have good groundwater supplies. Good enough to supply the water necessary for aquaculture projects, which could produce up to 600 tonnes or more of fish per year, utilising water recirculation systems. Water quality in the Omaheke Region is also within acceptable limits for fish farming," he revealed.
Water conservation is the main aim of using recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS). Many commercially operated ventures that extract underground water or that are in areas of high evaporation rates use this form of highly intensive production system. Fish are reared in concrete or plastic tanks that allow zero water seepage and the water is conserved through recycling and reuse. In some cases, the rearing unit is hosted in a greenhouse to maintain optimum water temperatures, especially when warm water fish, such as tilapia and catfish are reared, according to experts.
For poverty alleviation, Esau said a combination of tilapia, carp and catfish could be used to maximize production, although tilapia remains the key fish for poverty alleviation. A N$20 million fish farm is currently under construction at Leonardville. The funding will make provision for the construction of six grow-out ponds, three mitigating dams to control flood water, an administration block, a processing facility, a feed store, one two bed-roomed house, a drying shed, slaughter house, metallic fencing and related infrastructure.
Provision was also made for future plans to provide "hot house" roofs over the ponds (green houses) due to the harsh weather and also plastic linings for the six grow-out ponds. Once it is completed this year, it is expected that more than 100 jobs would be created for locals and it will also increase Namibia's food security contributing to the socio-economic upliftment of the area. Construction commenced in June last year and work is due for completion between August and September this year.
The aim of the farm is to rear fingerlings in the proposed six grow-out ponds, which, he said, are supposed to be supplied from the Hardap Inland Aquaculture Centre (HIAC). He said fish harvesting will be carried out not more than twice a year and the fish will be sold at local markets for local consumption. According to Esau, extension services, especially fingerling production, organization of technical training sessions, facilitation and extension materials will be provided by the HIAC.
Many technical experts from Bangladesh, China, Norway, Spain, Vietnam, Japan, Cuba, the United States of America and many others have also visited Namibia under bilateral relations programmes to offer invaluable assistance in developing a sustainable and effective skills base for small-scale community-based aquaculture extension.

Wonderful news! After 15 years or more, the penny has at last dropped - or at least is starting to. I think it was in June 1980 that I was in Washington and first heard a high-intensity warbling oscillator in the street (This Week, 23 September).
I'd never heard this before, but it eventually became clear it was a police car. However, it was a very long time before I could locate it, confused as the ear was by multiple echoes from buildings.
Reflecting on this, I thought "How like the Yanks to go for something 'space-age' but practically useless." Even I, with no more than a smattering of physics and no physiology, could spot that in trying to locate a moving sound source in a built-up area, the brain would have to rely heavily on doppler, arrival time and intensity, to help distinguish direction from reflected sound.
Reflected sounds ...
