Artistic Touch: Art left an early imprint on Venturan
Judy Gibbs calls herself an accidental artist.
"I had a friend who was a really good artist," Gibbs said. "I thought I couldn't be an artist because I couldn't draw like her."
Then after she finally started taking art classes about 14 years ago, she had to be persuaded to show her work.
"I thought I was just going to be happily in my little corner doing art at home," she said. But friends talked her into exhibiting, and she hasn't stopped.
Since retiring from a 34-year career as a clinical microbiologist at Ventura County Medical Center in 2007, she has pursued art full time. After studying drawing, painting and encaustic, Gibbs discovered printmaking.
"I love the feeling of suspense and awe as I pull a print," she said. "It is such a magical feeling."
Gibbs, a member of the Inkspots of San Buenaventura, is participating in "Think Ink," the fifth annual exhibit of the fine art printmaking group, Nov. 2-30 at 643 A Project Space, 643 N. Ventura Ave., Ventura.
In a recent interview in the Inkspots' studio, the Ventura artist talked about the journey that led to where she is today.
She was born in Ventura to Chinese immigrant parents after World War II. Her father ran grocery stores in Ventura and Ojai. She loved art from the beginning but was shy in school.
"Because I did not speak English until second grade, I got to paint a lot," she said. "They stuck me in a corner with an easel and apron, and I painted every day. I wanted to play school or house or store, but I wasn't able to communicate. I was so shy, I was afraid I would say the wrong thing, so I didn't say anything. It wasn't until I was in second grade that suddenly it just flowed out."
In third grade, she won an art contest at the Ojai Art Center for her mixed-media painting of an angel, complete with angel hair.
"I've always been interested in art, but in a Chinese family, you don't eat off art. You have to do something you can make money at, put a roof over your head and food on the table," she said.
She enjoyed science.
"It was fun because I liked to experiment, I liked all the theories and rules. It was like a foreign language," she said.
After graduating from college, she began her career in microbiology. But through the years she found time to study and get licenses in real estate and interior decoration and became a competitive team tennis player, all while raising a family.
But a diagnosis in 1992 of polymyositis, an autoimmune disease of the connective tissues similar to rheumatoid arthritis, forced her to slow down.
She takes medication, and symptoms come and go, she said.
"It slowed me down a little bit, but not totally," she said.
Finally setting aside her inhibitions, she signed up for a drawing class with Connie Jenkins at Ventura College in 1998 because she wanted to learn how to draw her cat.
Jenkins taught contour drawing.
"She taught in a way that was very easy to do," Gibbs said. "You just looked at an object and you followed it like you were an ant around the whole thing, without looking at your paper. It turned out really cool. I thought, 'I can do this.' "
Jenkins encouraged her to continue with art. She took life drawing with Hiroko Yoshimoto and also felt encouraged. From there she took life painting and then head painting with Carlisle Cooper.
She took oil painting classes with Jenkins, Debra McKillop and Bob Moskowitz — "different takes on different things," she said.
She learned encaustic from Sylvia Torres at Studio Channel Islands Art Center in 2002 and later took a class with Daniella Woolf in Santa Cruz.
"I learned the fundamentals from her and then kind of went on my own. I developed a way of doing Chinese painting using encaustic," she said. She discovered printmaking when she and Betsy Quinn took a monotype workshop with Julia Ayres in Pasadena in 2002.
Inspired, they continued to work together and with friends.
Gibbs and Quinn were among the original Inkspots when the group formed five years ago at the Sea Breeze Gallery in Ventura. After Sea Breeze (later Gallery 255) closed in 2010, they moved to Project 643.
Gibbs started showing her work in 2002 when her oil painting, "Florentine Roofscape" took third place in a Ventura County Arts Council exhibit.
"I wasn't going to enter any shows because I thought I wasn't finished with my education," she said. "Then someone said art is forever learning and if you wait till you learn it all, you're never going to be in any shows. So I started entering all kinds of shows."
She continues to win awards while she exhibits extensively.
She chooses a medium to best express the essence of her subject and is often inspired by the stories behind things, she said.
"I think maybe it's a good thing I didn't become an artist early because you need some life experiences to draw back on," she said.The reception for the Inkspots show is planned from 5-8 p.m. Nov. 2 as part of Ventura's first Friday Art Walk.
Gibbs' work can be seen at http://www.inkspotsventura.blogspot.com.

Hilary Swank already tried it
Worried about your nails? Sometimes manis and pedis won't cut it. You need the right polish to keep your fingers looking fine. Let us introduce you a newbie on the block, which Hilary Swank wore at the Met gala (pretty in Persuasive pink). It's by Dermelect. Nope, Kim Kardashian doesn't have a color yet (like she does with OPI) but this stuff works wonders for weak, brittle nails and restores flexibility, helps resist chipping/splitting and provides long lasting shine and a bold statment. Go on and wash your hands as hard as you want (skip the Purell today) because Dermelect is water and detergent resistant. What's up with this product? Makers say it's made with something called ProSina, a protein-peptide derived from the wool of New Zealand sheep. Think of like keratin for your hands but look ma! No formaldehyde. Find Dermelect Cosmeceuticals lacquers for $14.00 at www.dermelect.com. Free shipping on orders over $50.

The AC Ballet Closes The Season with CAUGHT UP IN THE SWING and PAPA & SINATRA, 5/23-24
by BWW News Desk - May 5, 2015
As the curtain falls on their 32nd Season the Atlantic City Ballet will present two timely ballets as a fitting tribute to what has been an extraordinary season. Caught Up In The Swing pays tribute to Atlantic City's "good ole days". This comedic ballet, set in the 1920's, follows the antics of guests at a seashore resort. Originally created to celebrate the ballet's 30th Anniversary, Caught Up is a combination of classical ballet, physical comedy and music of that bygone era. "I thought it was only fitting to end our first season here in the city with Caught Up." says Ms. Papa. "When we first put it on the program, we never expected the city to go through such changes, but with everything this city has gone through this year and the way it's coming back, I thought paying homage to our namesake city would be a perfect way to end our first season back home." Rounding out the evening will be Papa & Sinatra: Their Way, a tribute to Frank Sinatra and his centennial year. "Ms. Papa creates around two new ballets a year so she's always looking for new ideas." says Alexandria Pieroni, the ballet's Managing Director. "When I saw it was Frank Sinatra's centennial year I knew we had to do a ballet using his music. Ms. Papa didn't need any convincing, she already knew what songs she wanted the moment I said it." The ballet will feature Sinatra's greatest hits and combined with Ms. Papa's choreography, it will sure to be a great ending to a great season. This 32nd season marks the first full season of the ballet being in Atlantic City. They moved into their rehearsal space in Boardwalk Hall in February of 2014, struck a deal with Claridge in April and were off and running by July. They performed 9 different ballets this season and including all their community outreach and In Studio performances presented over 50 performances. For a regional company, that's almost double the amount of performances normally done. At the end of this month the company will officially announce next season's line up. Their 33rd year will see some great ballets, events and some surprises. Audiences can see the final performances of Atlantic City Ballet's 32nd season, on May 23rd and 24th at The Claridge Hotel's Celebrity Theater. (more...)

Second Foundation (Foundation Novels) (original 1953; edition 1991)
by Isaac Asimov
Work details
Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov (1953)
Hated it. Too long, full of common places: a non-transcendental demi-god as a hero, juvenile sex, a glorious, imperial past…
Great follow up to the second book with a clever way of expanding on Second Foundation's influence on Foundation. While the ending is great, it doesn't feel like the end of a series. I know there are many more books, as I really want to know the fate of Foundation. Fantastic series.
I think that I like Second Foundation and Foundation equally. Foundation and Empire is surely my least favorite of the trilogy. Second Foundation moved a lot faster than Foundation and Empire and was mostly one story, rather than a collection of short stories. Nevertheless, it didn't quite have the charm of Foundation.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553293362, Paperback)Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels are one of the great masterworks of science fiction. As unsurpassed blend of nonstop action, daring ideas, and extensive world-building, they chronicle the struggle of a courageous group of men and women dedicated to preserving humanity's light in a galaxy plunged into a nightmare of ignorance and violence thirty thousand years long.
After years of struggle, the Foundation lies in ruins—destroyed by the mutant mind power of the Mule. But it is rumored that there is a Second Foundation hidden somewhere at the end of the Galaxy, established to preserve the knowledge of mankind through the long centuries of barbarism. The Mule failed to find it the first time—but now he is certain he knows where it lies.
The fate of the Foundation rests on young Arcadia Darell, only fourteen years old and burdened with a terrible secret. As its scientists gird for a final showdown with the Mule, the survivors of the First Foundation begin their desperate search. They too want the Second Foundation destroyed…before it destroys them.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:11:01 -0400)
The Second Foundation meets the threat of a perilous mutant, only to face the challenge of the corrupt First Foundation for control of the galatic empire.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dream of Eagles series (Saxon Shore),
This review is from: The Saxon Shore (A Dream of Eagles, Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am someone very interested in the setting of these books. I'm interested in the roman empire, and it's fall. I'm interested in the dark ages. I'm interested in the Romano British. I'm interested in the ancient Celts of Britain, Hibernia, Wales, and Brittany who come before during and after the Roman conquests. I'm interested in the Saxons and Angles and other Germanic tribes. I'm also interested in the legends of king Arthur as well as historical tie ins to those legends. This series should have been just for me!
I'll throw in that though I'm a fan of these topics, I'm not a historian on these times or peoples. I've never done a history degree, and though I touched on many historical readings of the dark ages, I have never done any thorough or academic research of the period. I don't claim to be an expert. I'll still state my observations and opinions.
There were some things about this book that I liked. I liked learning a few things about roman Britain, where the cities were, and how the military was organized and such. However one thing the author wrote into this story made me doubt the historical accuracy of the rest of the book. There is an important character who comes from the Roman aristocracy, old blue blood of Rome if you will. He's not only born of old respected ancestry but also born into great wealth. He is introduced as a general. At one point in the book he says that his son is joining the Legions as a rank and file soldier, just like he did. Not as an officer, not with special privileges... a common foot soldier. I can not swallow that both he and his son joined the Roman legions as common legionnaires. From what little I know of late Roman society, aristocrats did not join the legions as common soldiers nor did common soldiers get promoted up to being generals. In this story I am asked to believe that this character of very high birth joined as a common foot soldier and worked his way up to commanding a legion through honest hard work and personal excellence. I'm also asked to believe that his son is embarking on the same path. I could be totally wrong but I feel the author is imposing modern western middle class values of hard work into a society where those values do not belong. In my mind it destroyed all credibility that the author possessed.
Aside from making certain characters buy into modern values, and making me question the authenticity of the story, I do have other critical comments. I found the pacing odd. sometimes it glossed over long periods while at other times it was detailed. I suppose this is what happens when you tell a tale that goes over lifetimes and even generations. Personally I like tales of action and high adventure and at times I was disappointed when the narrator would summarize periods of great trial and conflict with very brief descriptions.
This first books can be read as the life story of a man, a Roman veteran. but the focus of the story is more towards the end of his life as he starts to build a new community. This will be important in the later books. Afterwards it follows the stories of others who follow the ground work he helps to set. With the passing of one hero we begin to focus on another. i have not finished the series but I would not be surprised if the second hero who is focused on is eventually overshadowed by a third. But I can not say as I have not read that far.
Overall I enjoyed the beginning, but lost interest as the books progressed until I just stopped reading them. I would not recommend it to anyone whole heartedly. I might reservedly recommend it to those who, like me, are interested in the historical setting that it takes place within. i may eventually pick it up again and continue reading. It wasn't horrible.

This is my first review on amazon but I think the effort that will go into it is only half of what it should be because the Saxon Shore was such a good book that I will be hard pressed not to find things to say about it.
The Saxon Shore is the fourth book to the Camulod serious written by Jack Whyte. They all are a fabulous blends of History and Arthurian legend. In this particular book gives a detailed account of Merlyn's life and how he became the wizard we all think of him as. It is a new look at an old legend from a point of view that should have been put to use long before Whyte came along. The change in Merlyn from man of myth and legend like other Arthurian novels to a man of arms with problems and sorrows just like anyone else places this book on a level of its own. Although it is a very long book it is worth nearly every minute. It is a fantasy book, history lesson, and a great way to spend a rainy day all put into one. If you have every fell in love with knights, chivalry, or kings this book will restore that childhood dream or if it never left keep it burning bright. I know it has done so for me. If you ever just want to get away form life and find like me that a book helps this one is great for just that purpose. It has the ability to take you out of this time and to place you thousands of years ago with the characters your reading about. It makes Arthur seem like he really existed rather then just a character for our enjoyment. I look forward to reading the rest of the serious as soon as possible.
5.0 out of 5 stars Historical fiction on a grand scale. . .,
Although this is ostensibly a review of "The Saxon Shore", it in actuality covers all four books of the series to date ("The Skystone", "The Singing Sword", "The Eagles' Brood", and "The Saxon Shore"), primarily focusing on the last two, since I've already written a review of the first two. Now, that I've totally lost you, I'll begin again. . .
This series, The Camulod Chronicles, outlines the story of King Arthur as it might have been in a historical perspective, beginning with the end of the Roman occupation of Britain. If there were such a person as Arthur, he would have lived during this time. Most likely, he was a composite character, based on some of the more influential warlords and petty kings of the day. As an aside, I am reminded of a vacation in southern England that my family took in 1995. My sons, who were 11 and 13 at the time, could not understand my excitement in viewing the ruins of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, asking "How can this be the birthplace of someone who never was?" But, that's a different story. . .
The first two books of the series, which outlined the founding of Camulod (or Camelot) and Avalon and the forging of the sword Excalibur, were told from the viewpoint of an old Roman soldier. These last two books, which detail the birth of Arthur and his early boyhood years, are told from the viewpoint of Merlin, or, "Merlyn" in the Chronicles. As an avid reader of Arthurian legend and all its various retellings, let me tell you that the character of Merlin is probably one of the most varied of them all, probably due to the fact that he was actually a minor character in Mallory. Hence, the details are free to be filled in by the current chronicler. Merlin ranges from an evil wizard living backward in time to a benevolent sorcerer to merely a human being who is just a little smarter than most. The most esoteric version of Merlin can be found in Stephen Lawhead's Pendragon Cycle in which Merlin is the son of Charis, the last princess of Atlantis, and Taliesen, the greatest of the Celtic Bards. Except for the exotic birth, Jack Whyte's Merlyn has much in common with Lawhead's Merlin in that both were mortal men, though a little larger than life in that they were fierce warriors, outstanding field generals, and outstanding scholars. Also, neither possessed the true gift of magic, though they were believed to by the masses of humanity.
The Camulod Chronicles begin earlier than Mallory's "Le Morte D'Arthur", in a time that historically did occur, hence the tales carry an air of realism. The descriptions of the Roman influence on Britain in the late Fourth and early Fifth centuries are fascinating. The story unfolds at a leisurely pace, but the pages just keep on turning. The story is easy to follow as well as fun. There are those critics who complain that some of the dates given are inaccurate, as well as some of the situations. As Don Henley sang, "Get over it." This is historical *fiction* at it's finest, with the emphasis on *fiction*. Granted, there are differences between this series and others of its kind, but the abundant variety of viewpoints and details are what make Arthurian literature the great store that it is. The only "disconcerting" thing I've found so far is that the character of Vortigern (who was an actual person, by the way) is far more sympathetic in these tales than in others I've read. But, then, Jack Whyte has turned out such a magnum opus that I can only admire and respect his poetic license.
I have begun the fifth book of the series, "The Fort at River's Bend" and the level has not dropped. I will keep reading these books as long as Mr. Whyte keeps writing them (book 6 is in print and book 7 is due to be published later this year). So far, I consider this to be among the best Arthurian series' I have ever read. I would recommend them to anyone who has an interest in the Arthurian legend, anyone who has an interest in historical fiction, or both. As a bonus, anyone who likes these books would most likely like Stephen Lawhaead's Pendragon Cycle and Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy. The order you read them in is not important, though somewhere in the mix you should read Mallory to see where it all began. I love Arthurian fiction and fact, and, after reading these books, I'm sure a lot of the rest of you will, too.
5.0 out of 5 stars I've read them all, and I love them!,
Joseph H Pierre "Joe Pierre" (Salem, OR USA) - See all my reviews
I only review books that I like. It seems to me childish and petty to attack an author's work simply because you don't like it. I usually don't bother to finish books I don't like, let alone waste time reviewing them. Why would anyone continue to read a book that bores them?
I have bought and read all six of Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles: The Skystone; The Singing Sword; Eagle's Brood; The Saxon Shore; Fort at River's Bend and The Sorcerer. It is a great series, and I enjoyed each one of them.
It is to be expected that Whyte departs from the (rather sketchy) history Aavailable of the period, in a fiction series. And yet he has done his research, obviously, which is important to me in historical novels.
There have been several very good books written about the pre-Arthurian period in England, many of which I've read. Jack Whyte's worked ranks right at the top, with me. I am familiar with what history is available, having read much of the period, and his research effort is obvious.
He begins with a couple of Roman legionaires as his protagonists, before the Legions pulled out of England: Publius Varrus and Caius Brittanicus. The series then follows their lives and their family's lives through a series of gripping adventures, as they strive to maintain order and peace on the colony they have created in the South of England.
Publius Varrus, a blacksmith, creates a great and beautiful sword from a meteorite before he dies, which he names Excalibur, King Arthur's famous blade. Of course, eventually the series chronicles the lives of Merlyn (Merlin) and Arthur.
I was caught up in the story, and I strongly recommend it. It is entertaining and a delightful way to learn a bit of history. Buy them, you won't be sorry.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Great Train Wreck continues...,
J. Angus Macdonald "bibliovore" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I have to wonder to myself why I even bother to continue reading this man's work (see my previous reviews of the earlier volumes). If he wrote purely as fantasy the world would pass him off as a hack, but as a writer of historical fiction he should be drummed out of the club. Has the man never read even the basics of Celtic culture? Surely with all the hundreds of books available on the subject he should be able to find something! His knowledge of the era is fascinatingly scanty and he fills it in with such wild speculation that one is tempted to believe tha aliens are at work. The plot, once again, happens -- there is no reason for anything to happen, but it happens anyway. The characters are caricatures. The relation to the Arthurian legends is even scantier then the relation to history. This man is an awful writer. Camelot 3000 is more plausible than this tripe.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Once and Future King Lives Again,
michaeljcallahan (Merchantville, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Jack Whyte's chronicles get better as they continue. The Roman history is a fascinating read and is easy to follow for anyone not familiar with the Roman conquests and traditions. The continuing adventures of Caius,Lucanus,Connor, Shelagh, and their charges , their friends and their enemies, continues. Jack Whyte weaves a tale of mystery, history, and reality in a DICKENEST fashion. His characters are unforgettable and it will be a sad day for me when I complete the Chronicles. What a set of films these stories would make. I can see all of my heroes and their adventures in my mind, the character descriptions are so vivid. I mourned the death of Caius and of Varrus and of Picus as I would mourn the death of any close friend. The memories created by the Camulod Chronicles will be with me to the end of my days!
2.0 out of 5 stars Even hedonistically it's not very good,
By A Customer
This book isn't that bad, but it certainly isn't that great, either. Overall unremarkable next to so many other excellent historical fiction novels or just plain adventurous fantasy novels. This book would be much better if the characters weren't caricatures, if the dialogue wasn't so artificial, generally if the writing were up to the standards of the field. But I enjoyed it in the way that I sometimes enjoy junk food. So I don't care about the historical accuracy of this book, the problem with this book is the sophomoric writing and all-around sub-standard story-telling.
3.0 out of 5 stars Arthurian Junkies,
By A Customer
I have enjoyed these books although they have a recipe that is a little heavy. Anyone who is addicted to the Arthur / Merlin stories might enjoy these as well. They do offer another [yet] perspective on that great enigma. That probably won't deter anyone who is a junkie. What is it lacking ? A little of the Magic I think so it doesn't rate as highly as the Cornwall stories nor some of the others. On the other hand it tries to give one a sense of the times as they actually were and does that reasonably well.
4.0 out of 5 stars Whyte light shines through holes in old story.,
L. Cyphert "Laura" (San Diego, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
If you're looking for a history lesson, you shouldn't be reading Aurtharian tales in the first place. If it's epic, high-adventure, in a realistic setting you crave then you'll be satiated. Jack Whyte's re-telling of the dusty legend brings life and color to an other-wise "dark age." He beautifully, and sometimes starkly, synthesizes the historical and mythical tales. The result is a marathon, page-turning session which leaves one on the edge of his seat.
3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but padded,
Beverley Strong (Australia) - See all my reviews
While I enjoyed book 4 in this series,I can't help but feel that this is just a bridge between the days of the colony and what is obviously about to follow in book 5.The scenes are graphic and very well written and I have never before read historical works which spring to life in such reality.Mr Whyte is without doubt a master story teller but I just wanted to hurry through this one to get to "The Fort at River Bend" (which fortunately,I already possessed)

Our need is protection mostly from tree debris, not severe weather. I opted to remove the antenna rather than poke a hole & use the patch. The best part is my wife can remove/apply the cover herself.

Marcia Davis: Power line right-of-ways attract nesting prairie warblers
Last weekend I explored with Jim Rome of Oak Ridge part of a new extension of Oak Ridge's Melton Hill Lake Greenway. We followed the freshly asphalted trail and boardwalk underneath the Edgemore Road (Tenn. Hwy. 170) bridge that crosses Melton Hill Lake. After paralleling the waterfront, the trail eventually veers to the right into the woods of Haw Ridge Park.
As we walked I birded by ear. I had no binoculars. We followed the unfamiliar wide asphalt trail until it left the woods and crossed the edge a large man-made clearing near TVA's behemoth power lines running to the Bull Run Steam Plant. In the clearing I heard a prairie warbler singing.
The male prairie warbler has a unique song of thin "zee, zee, zee, zee, zee, zee, zee, zee, zee" notes that rapidly ascend the scale. Each thin buzzy "zee" is higher pitched than the previous "zee."
The singing warbler was probably less than 50 feet from the trail. But it was hidden amid all the scrubby vegetation in the power line right-of-way. Upon hearing the bizarre pishing and clucking noises I made to attract its attention, the inquisitive, tiny warbler moved closer to investigate. It perched in full view and sang in a small tree near the trail.
Without binoculars I saw only a yellow and olive-green bird. It was impossible to see and appreciate the details — yellow eyebrows, two black stripes near the eyes contrasting with a bright yellow face, a black spot on the side of a yellow neck, black streaks on yellow sides, chestnut-red streaks on the back, and pale yellow wing bars. Prairie warblers wag their tails a lot and display white tail spots
"Why do they call it a prairie warbler?" asked Jim. If you assume it's named prairie because it nests mainly in prairie habitats of the Midwest, you're wrong. When prairie warblers return from wintering grounds in the Caribbean and south Florida most of them head for shrubby old fields in the eastern U. S.
The prairie warbler got its name in 1810 in south-central Kentucky when ornithologist Alexander Wilson first encountered the bird in scrubby habitat that we today call a barrens. In 1810 in eastern states, these savanna-like barrens with scattered trees and a brushy understory were called prairies.
In Tennessee today, nesting prairie warblers prefer open areas with dense ground cover, many shrubs, and a few small trees. Abandoned farmland, strip mines, timber harvest clear cuts, power line right-of-ways, and clearings created by fire create prairie warbler habitat.
Before European settlement and clearing of land for farms and timber, nesting prairie warblers were probably scarce in Tennessee. Habitat was limited to cedar glades (barrens) and natural forest openings created by lightning fires and insect infestations that killed trees.
A prairie warbler's home is often temporary — good for only a few years. Cleared forests and abandoned farmland revert back to woods through a natural succession of different plants over many years. Warblers like prairie warblers, common yellowthroats, blue-winged warblers, and yellow-breasted chats prefer the plant structure on land in the early stages of this succession. The habitat is only available during the early years of regeneration.
Since power line right-of-ways are maintained and not permitted to grow up in trees, they provide somewhat of a more permanent habitat for birds that prefer scrubby overgrown areas. Large power line right-of-ways and large overgrown fields are good places to look for birds — especially prairie warblers.

PRESS RELEASE [London, 5th January 2009] QBE survey finds UK small and medium companies have so far weathered the economic storm successfully – but South and East suffers most • 60% of small and medium enterprises maintained or increased sales in 2008 • 57% expect to achieve the same result in the coming year • 53% say these are the most challenging conditions they have experienced Overall sales 2008 and outlook 2009 Despite the continued economic turbulence, British SMEs remain optimistic about their prospects in 2009. With 60% maintaining or increasing their sales turnover during 2008 and a majority, 57%, expecting to achieve the same in 2009. The QBE Business Sentiment Survey QBE, one of the UK's largest insurers of business risks, undertook the survey of SMEs in the United Kingdom during November 2008. The data which were gathered and analysed by independent survey company, The Survey Shop, identified a mixed picture of caution in the SME sector, but positive approaches for addressing the difficulties. Regional divisions emerge Regionally, a clear divide is opening up across the country. Businesses in Eastern and Southern England (inc London) found conditions in 2008 more challenging than most other regions, although, a majority, 55%, managed to maintain or increase sales. Looking forward, however, the region becomes more pessimistic with less than half, 48%, of respondents expecting to achieve the same sales figures in 2009. This compares to 57% of SMEs nationally that expect the same or better in 2009. The divide is further emphasised by the optimism expressed by 68% of respondents in Yorkshire and the North East that they will grow or at least sustain sales turnover in 2009. PRESS RELEASE The uneven spread in fortunes, does not, however, equate to a simple North/South divide as only 37% of respondents in the South West felt these were the toughest economic conditions they had faced. In sharp contrast to their colleagues in Southern and Eastern England (inc London) where nearly two thirds, 63%, felt this was the most challenging financial environment they had ever transacted business in. Nationally the figure was 53%. Leisure, retail and construction sectors feel pain first – others expect to follow 2008, was a challenging year for those in the leisure/catering industry and in retailing, with 56% and 48% respectively seeing sales turnover fall during the year, compared to 40% of the wider economy. Into 2009, there is growing pessimism from the building and construction and financial services industries, with nearly half of the respondents from both expecting sales turnover to drop in 2009. The leisure and catering industry maintained its downbeat mood with 46% expecting falls in 2009, while there may be some cause for optimism in the retail sector with only 39% expecting reduced turnover in 2009. Responses to the economic problems ranged across sectors. On employment, it seems many have taken painful decisions during 2008, with one in five, 20%, cutting staff, but only 14% expecting to have to repeat this in 2009. Some 32% of building and construction sector respondents made staff cuts during 2008, which may hopefully reduce their need to cut further in 2009, as only 18% currently expect to have to do so. Across all sectors of the economy, 53% of SME's think these are the most challenging business conditions they have experienced. However, this rises to two thirds of respondents in the building and construction sector and 64% in retailing. Perhaps highlighting the immediate pressure that recent months have put on consumer spending and house prices. Surprisingly, only 47% of respondents in the financial services sector felt these were the most challenging conditions they had faced. Either underlining that the initial sector impact has fallen most heavily on the City of London, or that they have long memories back to the Wall Street Crash. PRESS RELEASE Professional advice to become more important in 2009 In response to the many challenges businesses now face, many are planning to increase their use of professional advisors during 2009. With 52% of SMEs expecting to seek business advice from accountants in 2009, a substantial increase from the 28% that did so in 2008. Significantly larger numbers, 32%, are planning to turn to their insurers or insurance brokers for advice during 2009, up from 16% in 2008. Terry Whittaker, Managing Director of UK National, QBE European Operations commented: "SMEs in the UK are currently under a considerable amount of pressure because of the downturn, yet it is encouraging that they have achieved a positive performance with the majority stabilising, or increasing sales turnover during 2008. The conditions in 2009 are likely to be even more challenging, and to impact individual regions and sectors differently, but with the right measures in place, businesses should not only survive but succeed come the upturn."

Shoeless Joe's rare and coveted rookie1909 E90-1 American Caramel Joe Jackson PSA VG 3. He's one of the most complicated legends of our National Pastime, an illiterate child laborer from the mills of South Carolina who would emerge as one of the greatest ballplayers the world would ever see. But that popularity would ultimately fall to ignominy as Shoeless Joe was swept up in the greatest scandal in Major League history, sentenced by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to a term of banishment that is now approaching its centennial. But if baseball itself hasn't yet forgiven Jackson, the majority of baseball historians, and certainly hobbyists in the collectibles realm, have opened their arms and hearts to the famed Black Sox conspirator. Here we present one of the most prized relics of the latter, a newly-discovered example of his key rookie card, the 1909-11 E90-1 American Caramel card.
While his exploits with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox are well-known, few realize that Jackson actually got his start in the big leagues with Connie Mack's Philadelphia A's in 1908. We must thank the American Caramel Company for including Jackson in their 120 card promotion as one of the few issues of the era features the young slugger, and a rare opportunity to see Shoeless Joe as a representative of the City of Brotherly Love.
The card presents better than its technical grade, bolstered by bright colors and sharp registration. Points lost are due to typical edge and corner wear, some wrinkling at top and bottom edges, and imperfect left/right centering, all typical faults of century old cardboard. Just over sixty have been slabbed by PSA, with this specimen firmly planted in the top third of known examples.
*A donation of $100 to the American Red Cross is required to attend the Live auction.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
A Haredi yeshiva in Bnei Brak has become the city's first Torah institution to install a solar electricity system.
According to the Behadrei Haredim website, the solar energy panels were installed on the Ahavat Chesed beit mid rash, an off shoot of the city's Ponevitch Yeshiva.
In the past, the website said that haredi rabbis had prohibited the use of solar power because they feared the electricity would be used on Shabbat. They changed their minds when the Israel Electric Company announced it would pay a lower tariff for energy produced on Shabbat, so those who do not use electricity on Shabbat would not lose out.
The 30 kilowatt system is expected to save the bet midrash about NIS 35,000 a year for the 25-year warranty of the panels.

In case you missed it during the latest hiatus, PROTEGE issues started dropping on ComiXology. Issues 1-4 are currently available, and #5 will be up soon. ComiXology is, in my opinion, currently the best platform for reading digital comics. And for less than a buck, you can read PROTEGE with their slick guided view tech and get a pdf download of each issue!
Update #1: the Kickstarter for the PROTEGE graphic novel has launched! I've put in a lot of work to create a great campaign, and I hope you'll like what it has to offer. I am really excited to see the print edition of PROTEGE become a reality, and even more jazzed to get this book into your hands!
Update #2: I've heard a lot of great things about Seattle's Emerald City Comicon from other independent writers and artists, so I'm looking forward to setting up shop in the rainy city later this month. March 28 – 31, I'll be in Artist Alley GG-02. If you're attending ECCC stop by and say hey.
If you follow my tumblr, you may know I've had a western short story in the works since 2011. A HAPLESS SOUL is out now in DWP #8, the latest issue of Digital Webbing's anthology series.
Set in 1875, the story opens with former army scout Elijah Sixkiller awaiting execution in a backwater jail. It's a tale of "western weirdness" written by me with art by Marcello Abreu, colors by Rafael Gonzaga and letters by Kel. Cover is by Gav Heryng.

Acting as shareholders' proxies at Vodafone's AGM, activists won a meeting with the company to discuss the issue."

"Detroit (Southeast Michigan included) is facing its most crucial economic season in my 50 years of life," says Bishop Ellis. The future of numerous businesses and thousands of individuals are hanging in the balance as we await the outcome of Congress' decision regarding the aid being sought by the automotive industry. Lifestyles including the basics (home, transportation, food, education, health insurance, etc.) are in serious jeopardy. It is my firm belief that the religious community should engage its most potent weapon during this most dire hour and that is Prayer and Consecration."
The service is aimed at all persons employed in the auto industry from executives to UAW workers to suppliers, and even business people who depend on the industry. During the service, Bishop Ellis will bring a special message entitled "A Hybrid Hope." There will be a special prayer and anointing for all in attendance. Anointing with oil is symbolic of the conferring of God's blessing and favor upon an individual.

Motor Show - Salon de l'Auto, Geneva
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
During the month of March there's an exibition you can't miss, the annual Auto Saloon.
Lot of nice cars and tuning.
For those who are really interested in cars, this is the right place to leave your eyes, take your time (even a couple of days) to check the whole saloon.
Call one of the largest auto shows in the world, and I can see why. In 2004 over 730,000 people came to the show. The display of cars range from hybrids to cars that most people can only dream of affording. If you are in the Geneva during early March, it is something you should check out.
In 2005 the show was from March 3-13 (M-F 10:00-20:00; S/S 9:00-19:00) cost is 12chf.
If you are in Geneva in March, join the crowds - over 700000 of them in 2001 - to visit the Salon International de l'Automobile. The Geneva motor show is one of the most prestigious in the world, providing manufacturers with an opportunity to show off their new models at the start of the summer. Wander around the stands and admire the glistening specimens of automotive hardware that you'll probably never have a chance of driving.
Visit the Motor Show in March or try it on the web at: http://www.salon-auto.ch/. In 2001 there were 718,473 visitors only for 10 days...
One of the most famous motor shows in Europe.
