There is no doubt that riding a bicycle regularly can get you into great shape, but so can a lot of other things that are often cheaper and more convenient. Cycling has also caused me some moderate long term knee pain after several years of intense riding.
Skill wise it depends a lot on how you mountain bike. I think the biggest benefit is not particular skills (ie crossing logs) but the idea that you can shift your weight to control the machine, that you can huck a 3 foot drop on the trail, or that you can unweight the bike and float over some obstacles. Riding aggressive AM/DH/FR changes your idea of what is possible on a bike and I think that carries over really well to a dirtbike even though a lot of the skills and movements and possibilities are different.
I remember hucking a moderate drop for the first time on my two stroke. I weighted the front as I approached the edge and then leaned back as the front tire left the ground just like on the mountain bike. With a little twist of the throttle the bike launched me forward like a rocket. I added a whole new dimension. Can't do that on a peddle bike.
Right there with you. I raced XC for a bit and still love to ride any kind of technical or fast MTB trails, and I completely credit my mountain biking experience with being able to jump on a dirt bike and actually ride somewhat decently. True, the skills are different, but some of them are actually really useful. Things like conserving your momentum, picking the best line rather than just hammering the suspension, transferring weight, using your entire body to control the bike, finding the rhythm of the trail...that's all stuff that is way more critical on a mountain bike, but has made me a much better rider off road as well.
That said, the effect is more that it gives you a big jump on the early learning curve, rather than making you suddenly a master. I got to the level of 'decent trail rider' pretty quick because of mountain biking, but I don't think there is nearly as much crossover when it comes to 'fast trail rider' or riding really technical stuff where wheelies, clutch/throttle finesse, and really steep ascents/decents, and almost trials-like skills come into play. That will still take just as long to learn as for most other people

Bywater Blues
Spike Lee was right to call his film a "requiem." His four-part HBO documentary When the Levees Broke brought together a large and mournful chorus to lament the abandonment of New Orleans, from the warnings about Hurricane Katrina that were neglected early on to the dispersal of residents in the storm's aftermath. To learn about a later stage in the catastrophe, you can turn to Jonathan Demme's Right to Return project, which he rightly and resonantly describes as being made up of "home movies." These portraits of people in the Lower Ninth Ward--excerpts of which were broadcast in May on Tavis Smiley's PBS show--unaffectedly bring to life Katrina survivors who have refused to go into exile and are now trying to rebuild their neighborhood and city.
What we get from Ashley Sabin and David Redmon is more difficult to say. Unlike Lee and Demme, they have given no tag to their documentary Kamp Katrina--no hint about the kind of work they think they've made or the spirit in which we might receive it. So, on my own initiative, I will call it an urban platoon movie. Its setting, in the Bywater section of New Orleans, looks like a combat zone. Its characters, who are numerous at first and varied, get picked off by ones and twos until only a couple are left. You settle in with these people and become immersed in the chaos, brutality and surreal humor of their situation, seen close-up and often in fragments. This isn't the heartening experience of Demme's film, nor is it a comprehensive picture like Lee's--but it seems appropriate enough to a war of attrition.
I say you settle in with the characters because that's just what the filmmakers did. Before Katrina hit, Sabin and Redmon had been working intermittently on a sketch of a Bywater resident called Ms. Pearl, who had figured in Redmon's documentary Mardi Gras: Made in China. A wiry, middle-aged woman with pigtails and Native American features, as hip in manner as Lord Buckley and as colorful as a Mardi Gras krewe, Ms. Pearl had formed a bond with Sabin and Redmon, one that was close enough for her to phone them after Katrina and explain her new circumstances. So the filmmakers rejoined her and were present, one month after the hurricane, when she visited some volunteers in Washington Square Park and spontaneously offered to house displaced persons in her backyard, which in better days had served as a community garden: "I got a shower and everything back there, with hot and cold running water--hot and cold, baby."
Fourteen homeless people signed up and were put into tents, with Sabin and Redmon as residents fifteen and sixteen. For the next six months, Redmon has told me, the filmmakers lived practically full-time in Kamp Katrina, sometimes sleeping in the tents and sometimes in the house that Ms. Pearl shares with her husband, David Cross. "Neither of us," Redmon says, "would ever want to do it again."
And yet there seems to have been a bustle of optimism in the tent village during its first days. People invented addresses for their new residences ("1313 Dave's Yard"), enjoyed communal meals and gratefully signed on as laborers with their hosts' construction company. Ms. Pearl and Cross offered more than a canvas shelter. They provided something to do: a paying job repairing houses wrecked by the hurricane.
Not everyone picked up a hammer. A fellow called Charles devoted himself instead to cleaning the yard and issuing prophecies: "I am at Ground Zero of the Apocalypse, with Joan of Arc as my girlfriend. You don't think that havin' an invisible girlfriend gets on my nerves?" Ms. Pearl, believing that helpless, God-infatuated people must be blessed, considered herself to be Charles's protector. She also took on the task of protecting Kelley, a young woman who was about a month pregnant when she moved into Kamp Katrina. Whenever Kelley had trouble, Ms. Pearl would unfailingly swoop in with sisterly fierceness--and this was remarkable, because Kelley and her husband were crackheads.
So were other residents of Ms. Pearl's backyard. In time, she also found she was housing drunks, thieves, layabouts, wife beaters and men who would invite themselves into her house unannounced to take a shower, or whatever. The rules of Kamp Katrina were simple but fair: No hard drugs, no fighting, no invasion of privacy. Somehow, a significant number of residents could not live within these limits and had to be told to leave, usually by Cross, who is a forceful man despite having a plate of food perpetually attached to his hands.

If Michael Bisping beats Vitor Belfort this weekend atUFC on FX 7 in Sao Paolo, he gets a title shot at Middleweight champion Anderson Silva. If Belfort wins, he does not expect to get one.
In a recent interview with Brazil's O Dia newspaper, Belfort, who lost to UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones in September and lost to Silva nearly two years ago, said he does not expect a title shot with a win over Bisping, and he doesn't see the merit in that.
"There's not much I can say about what qualifies you for a shot at the title in the UFC," said Belfort. "It hasn't been happening much by merit, but by politics.
"I can't answer you that. The one who can is Dana White. I just do my job, which is to fight and win. My right is to train and represent my country."

1/15/13 3:52 PM by Death Beast
Is he saying this like he's bitter about it? That would have to be the biggest case of "No Self Awareness" ever considering the title shots he's received since returning. He's only won 1 fight at MW since returning against a guy that's 1-4 in the UFC with the 1 being a SD so he can't even act like he worked his way back up.
1/15/13 3:32 PM by JOESONDO
It's who they can sell as a viable contender. Bisping has never fought Silva and has a fan base that they can sell the fight to. Belfort got knocked out bad by Silva and then they put the image of the kick that did it as the menu screen of their videogame. They also feature that knock out on every highlight reel they can. It's like Bisping asking Henderson for a rematch. Pretty hard sell.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Officials say a FedEx cargo plane landing at a Lubbock, Texas, airport veered off the runway, crashed and caught fire, but that both crew members walked away from the plane.
Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport director James Loomis says the ATR-42 twin-turboprop aircraft landed just after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. He says crews extinguished the fire quickly.
The plane landed in a freezing mist, but Loomis says weather was not a factor in the incident.
The crew members were being evaluated at University Medical Center in Lubbock.

St. Maarten/St. Martin
Restaurants in St. Maarten/St. Martin
For a small island, there is not shortage of restaurants in St. Maarten, with more than 300 by one count. Options range from roadside barbeque stands to haute cuisine restaurants serving ingredients flown in from France. It's a unique mix of Dutch, French, and Caribbean cooking while everywhere you go, you'll find seafood prominent on menus. One of the more casual and very popular St. Maarten restaurants is Johnny B Under the Tree. Chef Johnny Bridgewater cooks ribs and lobsters over an open fire in the shade of genip trees. They are best washed down with a cold local beer. On many lists of the best restaurants in St. Maarten, Le Bistro Nu is a taste of France in the Caribbean. Located on a flower-lined alley in Marigot, the restaurant looks like a typically Caribbean gingerbread home but inside the décor evokes a French country restaurant. The menu includes French bistro classics like coq au vin, briny bulots (sea snails), tête de veau (calf's head), and boudin noir (blood sausage).
Owner Jean-Claude ferries the menu, hand-scrawled on a blackboard, between the tightly packed tables at this bistro, located down a flower-lined alley in Marigot. Try the coq au vin, briny bulots (sea snails), tender tête de veau (calf's head), and rich boudin noir (blood sausage).
This sultry newcomer at the Inn at Cupecoy has an inspired and exotic menu that includes foie gras "lollipops" dusted with coconut and mango, and shrimp tempura with a medley of sauces (curry, mint and mango chutney, parsley garlic).
This little shack on the Marigot waterfront is the best of the island's many lolos (tiny restaurants specializing in Creole cooking).
Chef Johnny Bridgewater is the grill master at this roadside barbecue joint, shaded by genip trees. Order an ice-cold Carib beer and settle into one of the 36 outdoor seats for pork ribs and whole lobster tails cooked over an open fire.
From pistou and aioli to lobster ravioli bathed in a saffron broth, the menu here takes its cues from classic Provençal cuisine. Be sure to book a seat on the airy wraparound porch for views of Orient Bay.

The search for simplicity
The Joneses are surrendering!" a TV news reporter proclaims. "The family with whom we've tried to keep up is throwing in the towel!" The camera pans to four desperate looking people standing in front of a large house. "We've had it," the wife says. "We're exhausted. We never see each other. And we have so much debt that we can't keep up anymore. It's just not worth it."
How churches think about money
Most fund-raising board meeting discussions, when stripped to the core, become one common, persistent question: "How can we persuade people to give more?"
Philippians 3:4b-14; Matthew 21:33-46
This parable in Matthew is a sister to the song of the vineyard in Isaiah 5. In both cases, God is the farmer who has provided generously so that the vineyard will be very fruitful. In Isaiah, the distress is over a lack of good fruit despite fine care of the vineyards. In Jesus' story, the fruit is good, but the trusted stewards are corrupt and self-serving.
1 Corinthians 4:1-5; Matthew 6:24-34
My wife and I have found a great remedy for those times when life seems overwhelmingly stressful, our worries mount, and our inner resources seem depleted. We consider the birds of the air.
2 Corinthians 8:7-15
In the mid-1980s I attended a church that still honored "Money Sunday," a practice begun in the 1950s. Once a year members of the congregation gathered to make financial pledges to support missions efforts. As the pledges were collected, the minister would read the amounts aloud from the pulpit: "Here's one for $50. . . . Here's another for $100 and one for $1,000!" Occasionally a pledge came in for, say, $10,000, eliciting all sorts of approving oohs and aahs from the congregation.

Wells Fargo Seeks to Toss N.Y. Action on Mortgage Deal
Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Wells Fargo & Co. said New York's bid for a court order forcing the bank to comply with a mortgage-servicing settlement should be denied because the state is ignoring terms of the $25 billion agreement.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is attempting to make an "end-run" around the mechanism for testing whether banks are complying with the settlement and for fixing violations, Wells Fargo said in a filing today in federal court in Washington.
"The entire agreed-upon enforcement process -- which was precisely intended to avoid costly litigation -- would be rendered a nullity" if the state's claims are allowed to proceed, the lender said.
Schneiderman claims San Francisco-based Wells Fargo violated the 2012 settlement by subjecting homeowners to delays and obstructions in the process for modifying mortgage loans. Wells Fargo was among five mortgage servicers that reached the agreement with the U.S. and 49 states.
The case is U.S. v. Bank of America Corp., 12-cv-00361, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Contributions for All-Optical Multicast Routing in WDM Networks
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
WDM multicast networks are evolving towards all optical multicast routing, which is made up of several promising techniques designed to take advantage of light-trees (optical trees that avoid OEO conversions along the switching path). Although all-optical elements are not yet a mature technology, different research efforts held in this area during the last decade, are contributing to achieve this objective. In the present work authors analyze and summarize the most relevant problems regarding this topic, then explain some significant contributions made by several authors and by the own in previous papers. Finally, authors present the key challenges that must be assumed in future works for light-tree routing.

Peru Heritage Journeys
Peruvian Ties
Families traveled with Peruvian Ties for the first time in 1997. Since then, lots of families (including grandparents, aunts, and uncles) have journeyed to Peru with The Ties Program. Future Peruvian Ties departure dates will be determined based on the interest of families.
Ties Journeys of Discovery – Peru
July 16-23, 2016
Private or Semi-Private Travel
We have decided to discontinue Connections programs. Our goal in offering Connections was to provide a less expensive option for families. To accomplish that, families traveled with an in-country English speaking guide, but not with Ties staff. In our flagship Ties programs, groups travel with both a "logistical genius" and an adoption professional, so that families are really well supported on this important, identity-building journey. It is a "formula" that has served families well for nearly two decades!
Explore. Discover. Share.
Some countries will also be offered under our new option called Ties Journeys of Discovery. These journeys are being created for people who would like to take a fun, cultural, unique trip, but without an emphasis on adoption. See information on our new Journeys of Discovery website for Peru departures.
While we believe strongly in the support a group provides, we know there are times when individual family travel is a better fit. We are happy to work with individual families or small groups of families. Please email us your request.

Eagle Forum Fudges Immigration Facts
The Eagle Forum of Alabama is holding a series of "grassroots workshops" around the state entitled "What YOU can do about Illegal Immigration." Clearly aimed at riling up nativist fury, the fliers for the event allege that "the average illegal immigrant household receives approximately $30,000 in government benefits each year but pays only $9,000 in taxes."
The problem, as is often the case with the "facts" nativists dredge up to illustrate the evils of immigration, is that these calculations are wildly misleading at best. The numbers above originate in a quote from Robert Rector that was posted on the website NoFreeMustang.com, a new anti-immigration site put up by the conservative Heritage Foundation where Rector is a senior fellow. The website's title refers to the difference between the two numbers above, $21,000, which Rector alleges is the net cost taxpayers pick up for undocumented workers. "That's like buying each of these illegal immigrant families a brand new Mustang convertible," he claims.
Rector is almost certainly wrong, as is reflected in a fact sheet summarizing immigration studies that was put together by the Immigration Policy Center. ( continue to full post… )
Addled Aryans: Red Faces Light Up White Supremacists
More than a dozen high-profile white nationalist activists muddied their reputations in the world of the radical right recently by organizing and publicizing a protest campaign on behalf of a teenage shooting victim they assumed was a "pure-blooded" white.
It all began last Wednesday, March 19, when Suffolk County, N.Y., resident John H. White, 55, was sentenced to two to four years in prison for killing 18-year-old Daniel Cicciaro Jr. in August 2006. White, who is African-American, shot Cicciaro in the face at close range when the unarmed young man and three of his friends confronted White at the foot of White's driveway on Long Island. They had followed White's teenaged son, Aaron, home from a party after a quarrel. A jury convicted White of manslaughter earlier this year.
Minutes after a judge handed down the relatively light sentence (White faced up to 15 years in prison), the victim's father, Daniel Cicciaro Sr., shouted to reporters, "As long as you're black and there's a problem at the foot of your driveway, you can shoot my son in the face? Let's see what happens when Aaron White gets shot! Let's see what the laws are then!"
The following day, white nationalist John Anthony Boone, posting as "OTPTT," started a discussion thread on the neo-Nazi website Vanguard News Network (VNN) entitled, "White Father Responds Like White Man Over Light Sentence Given to Nigger!" ( continue to full post… )

Neo-Nazi Informant Suggests Candidates Should Die
Like a jackbooted Energizer bunny, Hal Turner just keeps on ticking. The New Jersey neo-Nazi, infamous for repeatedly proposing that certain of his enemies be killed, is now suggesting that all three presidential candidates should suffer a similar fate.
Despite a series of travails — a report in this space that he was allegedly a paid FBI informant, his "quitting" of the white power movement only to rejoin days later, and attacks from other white supremacists — Turner is gamely playing on.
And for him, that means issuing threats.
A few days ago, Turner wrote on his website that John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were all "traitors." "If you think real Patriots like me are going to sit idly by while you turn our country over to such people, you are sadly mistaken. … Think I'm kidding? My audience includes the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, skinheads and Nazis. … The deadly serious kind." Then Turner proceeded to recount how he once said that a federal judge who had ruled against a neo-Nazi group in a 2005 copyright case was "worthy of being killed" — and how the judge's mother and husband were subsequently murdered in her home. "I hope," Turner wrote, "I don't have to start talking the same way about Clinton, McCain and Obama."
Hatewatch first printed allegations that Turner was an FBI informant on Jan. 11. Although Turner had told supporters just a day earlier that he was leaving the racist movement, he responded by bringing his Internet radio show and website back to life and insisting the allegations were false. Since then, Hatewatch has confirmed through numerous knowledgeable sources that Turner was, in fact, a paid FBI informant, and that he had worked for the agency's Newark, N.J., office for years. As reported here in January, experts in police procedure severely criticized the FBI's use of Turner because he was clearly doing more to provoke violence than to contain it.

Racists' Headquarters Has a Surprising Owner
The "World Famous Redneck Shop" in downtown Laurens, S.C., has been headquarters to two different Klan factions and the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement. It has played host to a reunion of the infamous neo-Nazi group, the Aryan Nations, and sells cheap racist merchandise including T-shirts that read, "Ain't Racist, Just Never Met a Nigger I Liked." Yet for more than 10 years, a black Baptist church has owned the store in an unusual legal arrangement. The Rev. David Kennedy says that in 1997 his church bought the Echo Theater, the building that houses the Redneck Shop, out of pity for a poor family and a misguided belief that the owner had changed his racist ways.
The Redneck Shop was built up by Michael Burden Jr., a former grand dragon in a South Carolina Klan group who acquired it from John Howard, another one-time Klansman who had had taken Burden under his wing. But Kennedy told Hatewatch that in the late '90s, Burden's family was desperately poor and Burden begged him to buy the property. "His family was about to starve," the Rev. Kennedy said. The family was so famished, Kennedy added, that they had trouble standing up. Moved, Kennedy embarked on a tentative relationship with the one-time Klan leader.
Kennedy says he initially encouraged the city to buy the Redneck Shop property. But when officials declined, Kennedy's New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church paid Burden $1,000 for it on April 22, 1997, according to the property deed. The sale was organized as a life estate that allowed Howard (not Burden) to operate the Redneck Shop until Howard's death. Kennedy says he agreed to the arrangement to help the ailing Burden family and because he believed Burden Jr. had recanted of his racist views — a story recounted that same year in an ABC America "Prime Time Live" segment entitled "The Redneck & the Reverend: A Story of Hate & Hope." At one point during their relationship, Kennedy says, Burden even told the black reverend that Howard had suggested that Burden assassinate him. "We helped him and he wanted to apologize to the black community," Kennedy said of Burden, adding that Burden actually began attending his church on a regular basis. "Then all of a sudden he stopped showing up." ( continue to full post… )

Monroe Dining Table 13 13
Absolutely gorgeous! This table was exactly what we wanted. It's incredibly large and is beautifully carved and built. Assembly was easy - with 3 strong people to help we got it put together within 20 minutes. I know the quality of this table will last us for a very long time. June 9, 2015
Amazing Value for $$$ I recently received the 10' Monroe table. It comes in two boxes: one with the three legs and one with the tabletop. I watched two beefy deliverymen struggle with the bigger box, which weighs 350 pounds or so. The quality is excellent. This is a solid-wood table (no engineered wood or veneer) and they do not skimp on the wood. Assembly is a breeze, but you definitely need a friend to help you, trust me. The bolt and nut construction is simple, solid and well-engineered. Folks, this is an amazing price for a solid wood table of this quality. In fact, it is doubtful you could build this yourself for less money. May 11, 2015
Delighted! We wanted a large table without leaves for our growing family and this table is perfect! After extensive online and in-store shopping we discovered all the other tables this size were twice the price or more. In reading reviews we were prepared for knots and nicks and are happy to say our table is in fine condition. We put a coat of beeswax on it, which makes it feel and look beautiful, and purchased a large by-the-yard plastic tablecloth for added protection when the toddlers are at the table. Also, we paid to have it delivered inside the front door, which is what happened. The only glitch here was the top arrived one day and the base the next. No problem, though. Finally, have to commend WM on their superior customer service. By chance the table went on sale two days after we ordered - we called customer service and they adjusted our price. (The photo shows four parsons chairs on each side but it easily accommodates five on the sides and two on each end.) April 3, 2015
Love this table! We absolutely love this table! Have a very large dining room, and this fits it perfectly. It was easy to put together, but REALLY heavy! The distressed finish is quite nice, and we've received a ton of compliments. Great quality for a great price! February 18, 2015
Awesome table! I love this table, as does nearly everyone who comes into my ski house. It is the perfect size, is of high quality, and feels and looks substantial. I squeezed 12 chairs into the table, but last night we had 14 at it and it felt cozy but not cramped. The width is great for keeping items in the middle, without being so wide that the piece takes over the room. The color is a little greenish/gray in certain lights, but overall looks great. The table also looks like it isn't sealed, which leaves me wondering if I should seal it somehow. The finish is very matte and I wonder if things will seep in and stain it. World Markets insight would be nice here! January 4, 2015
Great table. We needed a new dining table as our "expensive" one was completely scratched due to it being covered in veneer. I spent a long time looking for a solid wood table and this one was perfect. I like that the top is one piece and seats 10 - no leafs. It is rustic, but that's what we wanted. It's a table we will have for many years. May 7, 2014
Fantastic Table Very solid, great looking table and the assembly was fairly easy. I am very pleased with the overall style and quality for the price. May 4, 2014
Better than expected!!!!! My table arrived today and I'm thrilled with it! I have to say I was nervous; there were comments posted about large knots missing, leaving gaping holes, and it having an ashen hew. Mine came without any knots missing, and although it has a very slight ashen hew, it is definitely the rich, dark brown (almost espresso# table I was hoping for. It has been distressed tastefully #not overdone at all#. I am a reasonably strong woman and was able to shimmy it into my dining area to do the assembly myself #I did have to have my neighbor come over and lift the top onto the assembled legs for me #that part is definitely a 2 person job as this is a really solid table#. Minimal assembly actually - I've put together much more complicated pieces of furniture. Like I said, I'm thrilled - and I'm the most fussy person I know! I've included a photo (just waiting for my very long bench to arrive). February 10, 2014

Just when the Charlotte Bobcats thought it was safe to claim the NBA's worst record ever, the Washington Wizards rise up, and attempt to lay claim to the thrown. Here is the latest update for the NBA's worst teams, NBAwful 2012-13, Vol. II.Washington Wizards: Breaking news!! The Wizards won a game! The Wizards beat the Trailblazers Wednesday night to break into the win column for the first time this season. With a 1-12 record, the Wizards on pace to have (gasp) (maybe) six wins this season. Yo, Charlotte better look out!Toronto Raptors: Once again, NBA commissioner David Stern's attempt at putting a team in Oh, Canada is falling flat on it's face. The Raptors are 3-13, and losers of six straight. "Yo, I'm DeMarcus. Whatev, bro." Cleveland Cavaliers: Not sure how I feel about this. Kyrie Irving is missing time due to a fractured finger. Other than Irving, they don't have a lot of stellar help in the lineup. Even with Irving, they're not a good team. The Cavs are 3-12, and losers of four straight.Bringing up the rear of this NBAwful update is New Orleans and Sacramento.The Hornets are 4-10. They could possibly improve once Anthony Davis returns from his ankle injury.The Kings are also 4-10. This is a young team and they need someone to step up and be a leader. DeMarcus Cousins disqualifies himself with this "Yeah, whatever" profile mug. (Via his Yahoo! profile.)

Blue Mountain Gallery Hosts EMERGING ARTISTS: WCSU MFA Thesis Exhibition, 6/19-7/7
Blue Mountain Gallery has announced the 2012 MFA Thesis Exhibition from Western Connecticut State University. The exhibition will run from June 19 through July 7 with an opening reception on Thursday, June 21 from 5 to 8 pm. The Master of Fine Arts is the terminal degree for practicing artists, and the Thesis Exhibition is the capstone experience of that program, demonstrating a personal direction and mastery in the work of graduating artists. This year's thesis class includes seven painters and three illustrators.
Amy Almeida, from Fairfield, CT, creates large-scale, powerful paintings that often include light bulbs and chandeliers as subjects. "I use specific objects, reflections, light and shadows symbolically by painting them inside a particular reality that carries the expression of each piece independently."
Renee Bascetta, of Waterbury, CT, creates small-scale works, often watercolors. She explains, "As an illustrator, I love to tell stories with images. My hope is to bring out the child inside the viewer. My current works are regarding traditional American holidays."
Christina Ciacci, from Milford, CT, is a painter of compelling works. "I am particularly interested in shape and color functioning as weight and air. Finding the shapes through observed forms and the use of my own intuitive sense of color, I seek to portray experiences or situations in my life."
Christopher Donnelly lives in Guildford, CT. An inventive illustrator, he writes of his work, "I see the world as an imaginable place where characters of all types live to overcome difficulties. As a character designer, it is my task to lend plausibility to the look and feel of a 'toon, in order for it to be believable."
