As a floral designer and stylist, I'm always on the lookout for inspiration for my work. I never pass up an opportunity to find new ideas for arrangements or interiors; I'm constantly combing through New York's green markets and devouring classic books and films. So when I traveled to Amsterdam, Netherlands, last fall, I tore myself away from the city's famed flowers and gardens and visited the collection of Dutch Master still lifes at the famed Rijksmuseum. There, I was rewarded with not only a lasting memory but a fruitful source of inspiration.
Still Life with Gilt Cup, painted in 1635, is one of 70 works attributed to Willem Claeszoon Heda, Rijksmuseum.
As I set about creating a tablescape for the upcoming holidays, my memory returned me to Willem Claeszoon Heda's Still Life with Gilt Cup. The painting is luminous and elegant, its subtle beauty derived from opulent objects arranged with a casual hand. The variety of materials—wrinkled linen, oysters, and pewter—gives the table an interesting depth. A few spots of color—the glass, the lemon—brighten up a muted palette.
So I assembled my own version of Heda's inspirations. I looked for items with an almost incandescent luster, mostly in the pewter and silver spectrum to keep the table looking like a collected whole instead of a hodgepodge. For a centerpiece, I used a footed bowl; nothing is more Dutch Master. I used a flower frog to anchor my stems of seasonal evergreens and then focused on texture rather than flower power to convey a restrained and natural mix. Grapes on the vine add to the aura of abundance and were purchased for pennies at the grocery store. When the lights are dimmed for holiday dinner, this table will glow like a painting.
[Here's our guide to Flower Arranging 101.]
A table set with a well-thought-out mix of materials rather than a full set of china creates an effortlessly unstudied effect and serves as a reminder that inspiration can be found everywhere, if we remember to look.

The town of Halfmoon Republican Committee is ramping up its campaign efforts for three candidates seeking terms on the Town Board – and taking some hard shots at their embattled incumbent supervisor in the process.
"One bad apple didn't spoil the whole bunch," states a GOP mailer sent last week that refers to Supervisor Melinda A. Wormuth. The flier, which depicts a rotted apple next to a bushel of fresh apples, adds "We've all seen the reports of ONE person's corruption, scandal and unethical behavior … that isn't US."
The flier touts the re-election efforts of incumbent Town Board members Walter Polak and Paul Hotaling, and the supervisor's bid of Kevin Tollisen, who stepped down as a town justice this year to run for the seat being vacated by Wormuth at the end of her term in December.
Wormuth was indicted two weeks ago on federal criminal charges that accuse her of extortion and lying to FBI agents. She's charged with taking $7,500 in cash to lobby for the legalization of mixed martial arts and then allegedly lying to FBI investigators about where she obtained legal advice on the matter. Wormuth also was charged with three felonies in state court, where she's accused of stealing campaign funds for personal use.
The town's GOP committee recently held an "emergency" meeting at Fairways of Halfmoon to urge committee members to mobilize as two Democratic challengers for the Town Board seats, Joseph Christopher and Deanna Stephenson, are gaining momentum in the race, according to a person briefed on the results of a recent poll.

One Response
One person's corruption? Was that Mindy's, or Bob Chauvin's, or Tanski's or Abele's? And all under the watchful eye of Polack and Hotaling. "But there was no favoritism" says Polack. Then why did Chauvin feel a need to hide his involvement in his land deals by using a front man? And how could Polack and Hotaling allow this to happen? It was willful ignorance or neglect at best, if not knowing acquiescence to a fraud. It seems to me that the whole bunch is rotten to the core. It's time to throw them all out. The good money is that Mindy won't be going to jail alone. In fact, I'd bet she is throwing all of you on right under that Department of Corrections bus,

A ranking of ninth in the state to go along with a 30-5 record typically would cause an intimidation factor going into a playoff series for the opposing team.
That could have been the case in Plainview this week, as the mentioned high ranking and great record belongs to the Lubbock Cooper Pirates, the Borger Bulldogs' opponent in this weekend's best of three 3A Regional Quarterfinal series.
On Monday afternoon, the Frank Phillips College Board of Regents unanimously approved an employment contract for FPC President Dr. Jud Hicks, effective April 18 and running until July 31 of 2012.

Written by Valeria Fernández
LAVEEN, Ariz. — A picture of Daniel Adkins, Jr. stares back at his father from the living room of the family's small home. The letters RIP and "You will always be in our heart" are written on the photograph in white letters.
"It's as if he's asking me, 'What are you going to do about it?'" said the senior Daniel Adkins.
It's a question the father has been asking himself for more than two months, ever since his son was shot and killed shortly after leaving the house to take his dog, Lady, for a walk. Neither police nor the family have any doubt about who pulled the trigger – Cornell Jude, 22, has admitted to shooting Adkins, Jr. outside of a Taco Bell on April 3. Yet, Jude remains free – he told police he acted in self-defense — while the Adkins family has been left stunned and holding out hope that justice will be served.
New America Media made several requests for an interview with Jude, to which he did not reply.
The case calls to mind another fatal shooting of an unarmed victim — Trayvon Martin was killed on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman – under a similar "Stand Your Ground" law. Yet the story has hardly registered in national media, a far cry from the news frenzy and national protests that followed the Martin killing.
Like Jude, police did not immediately arrest Zimmerman for killing Martin, under the pretense that he had acted in self-defense – a legal justification valid in the state of Florida that is commonly referred to as a "Stand Your Ground" law. Only after the killing prompted protests across the country by people angry at what they perceived as a racist act and equally racist legal outcome – Martin was a young black man – was Zimmerman charged with second-degree murder.
Like Florida, Arizona has a law on the books stating that an individual does not have to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense.
The fatal encounter between Jude and Adkins, a 29-year-old man described by his mother as having the mind of a 13-year-old, lasted only a few seconds.
According to the police report, Jude was in his car with his girlfriend placing an order at Taco Bell, and was told to drive to the front window to pick up the order. As he pulled away from the drive-through, he nearly ran over Adkins – Jude said he had to step on the brakes – as he was walking his dog.
Adkins cursed loudly at Jude and approached the passenger window of his car. Jude and his girlfriend said they then saw Adkins swinging something that resembled a bat. At that point, said Jude, he shot Adkins with a pistol that he had on his lap, then called 911.
Jude told the police he was not aware that the shot to Adkins was fatal. Responding to the 911 call, police discovered Adkins lying on the asphalt, his right hand still clutching his dog's leash.
Jude told police that he fired at Adkins because he "feared for his life, as well as for the lives of his girlfriend and their unborn baby." Jude also told police that, "he was unable to drive away because the dog was in the way, and that he had not thought of any other options."
But Jude also told police he didn't believe that Adkins would have killed both of them if he had not been shot. Neither did police find evidence of a bat or any other object on the scene. When they questioned Jude and his girlfriend about it, they said Adkins might have been waving his arms, or that it they could have mistaken the dog leash for a bat.
Detectives assigned to the case recommended a charge of second-degree murder to the Maricopa County Attorney Office (MCAO) just a few days after the shooting. But no formal charges have been filed, and the Adkins family has been left to wonder why it's taken so long for officials to take action.
"The case is under review. We're not commenting publicly on it," said Jerry Cobb, a spokesperson for MCAO, who confirmed that a special committee created by county attorney Bill Montgomery was examining the case to determine whether or not self-defense was involved.
Cobb also said the county has requested additional evidence from the Phoenix Police Department, and "that's part of the reason this case will take longer to review." Police Sergeant Tommy Thompson confirmed the department is looking for the information requested by MCAO.
"We totally understand that for a victim of a crime or family member, waiting even an hour can seem too long," he said. "We want to make sure we pursue these cases as best as possible."
John Hurtado, a certified law student – he can practice law with the supervision of another attorney – who works at the law offices of Brian P. Moquin in California, has taken an interest in the Adkins case. After reviewing the available evidence and observing the actions taken by Maricopa County authorities, Hurtado felt compelled to take action.
He wrote a letter to county officials, asking that Jude be charged with second-degree murder for unlawful use of deadly force. Hurtado wrote in his letter that Jude provoked the incident by almost running over Adkins. Hurtado also argued that Jude was in violation of the law because Adkins could not see he was carrying a gun, and could therefore not reach the reasonable conclusion that he should leave the scene.
"They're giving [Jude] immunity right now," said Hurtado.
According to Arizona law, "a person is justified in threatening or using physical force against another when and to the extent a reasonable person would believe that physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful physical force."
But, said Hurtado, there is a limit to this type of legal protection. "If it's determined that he provoked [Adkins], he might not have the right to (claim) self-defense," he said.
Antonio Bustamante, a criminal defense attorney in Phoenix, said cases like this are complex and outcomes can hinge on how the jury feels about guns and the use of deadly force. Often, said Bustamante, the same facts can yield completely different verdicts.
The Adkins family is hoping for a jury trial, but that will depend on whether or not charges are ever filed.
In the meantime, Adkins' mother Antonia, a 63-year-old Mexican immigrant who has lived in the United States for more than 30 years, goes back and forth between tears and indignation. In the space between her kitchen and dining room lies a model train that Daniel had been building. At a young age, she said, her son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and a number of other mental health problems.
Her dog, a Labrador named Lady, still roams the house. She said neighbors have been coming over ever since they found out about the shooting and "are surprised, because Daniel never had a problem with anyone."
"He didn't have a right to take my son's life. Why didn't he drive away?" she said. "I'm a Christian, I don't want him to die, but I want justice."
Daniel's father doesn't think race played a role in the shooting. Jude is African-American and Adkins is Hispanic. Still, he doesn't understand why his son's case didn't raise the uproar that Martin's did in Florida.
Hurtado said it's a combination of politics and timing. He believes prosecutors are afraid of instigating a backlash from the African-American community that was already up in arms about the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Cobb denied any political motivations being behind the handling of the case.
"They don't want what happened in Sanford to happen in Phoenix," said Hurtado.

Let's see if I got this correct. He was going to Taco Bell and had placed his order. Something happens and he, by chance, had a loaded gun in his lap. And he sees things that doesn't exists, like a baton (which turns out to be a dog leash) and waving arms and fires his loaded, easy available gun. Well, this must be totally legit? Wrong! Prosecute for murder and I would say, first-degree, since he had a concealed weapon in a car with his pregnant girlfriend. I have a feeling Cornell Jude was planning to rob the place, not buy tacos. Why hasn't the police investigated this fishy story?
I am totally against these stand your ground laws, because the people that use them are fearful, insecure, or "wanna-be"s. It's a recipe for disaster.
@David H.
"They are laws which give people the right not to retreat in the face of a threat, but to stay where they are and shoot someone if they feel they are threatened too much. You will look in vain through all 27 words of the 2nd Amendment and find no word of it that can"
Presuming you were about to say there's no justification for "stand your ground" in the Second Amendment, you're absolutely correct.
The right to self defense has always been based on the responsibility to avoid a fight if at all possible. At least, that dates since the ban on dueling finally took effect.
"Stand your Ground" is very, very dubious, and it's been deliberately used to condone murder.
While, oddly enough, a woman that was trying to defend herself against her husband fired into the ceiling and STILL faced charges.
There's something fishy there, and the fish seems to have died about a week ago.
smdh.............keep us posted,.,,start a petition while ur waiting....this has to stop....
@David H.
"A law requiring something, or directly prohibiting something, is somewhat different to a law to have no law prohibiting something"
Ahem. What was it you wrote about "linguistically inaccurate" ? Oh, no, you said "linquistically" inaccurate". Sorry.
I have to remember to make allowances. The UK doesn't HAVE a Constitution.
You have Common Law, a complex set of precedents that must truly take a scholar to master.
You do have a Bill of Rights. Although it's mostly prohibitions against Royal interference, as far as I can tell.
Which is similar to our Constitution, in a way.
The Bill of Rights in America's Constitution is also mostly "negative rights".
The Government 'may NOT do this, may NOT do that'. Not 'the People may this, and the People may that'.
Just declaring what the People 'may do' wouldn't be strong enough.
It wouldn't be an outright prohibition on the Government interfering in that Right.
After all, future Conservatives could whittle away at that Right, by saying 'the People MAY, but this subclass May Not'.
Just as your Bill of Rights states "no royal interference in the freedom of the people to have arms for their own defence as suitable to their class and as allowed by law", our Bill of Rights forbids the Government from banning the People from owning weapons within the law.
Given the timing, our Second Amendment could easily have been influenced by the British Bill of Rights.
"While your continual dragging up that I, a British citizen, would not have been able to be part of a US militia fighting a war in America 250 years ago (and that this somehow bolsters what you say about why the 2nd Amendment was and is needed) borders on delusional insanity."
Well, it's possible you simply refuse to understand logic that conflicts with your beliefs.
We actually get a lot of that with Fox News viewers here in America.
So it's not unfamiliar.
The point is childishly simple. The Second Amendment was intended to preserve weapons training in the population, by preserving the right to own weapons.
And coincidentally, preventing a Police State from ever achieving complete control, but that's a dark, dark road and I prefer to avoid it.
The Founders (you would call them Traitors to the Crown) knew that the greatest danger to their fledgling Democracy was a Military Coup.
They were, after all, well acquainted with Roman History.
To avoid this, they didn't want a standing army at all. And that required citizen soldiers for National Defense.
Citizen soldiers have to own their own weapons.
If you can take the weapons away and lock them up in an Armory, the citizens will be unable to train with the weapons. That would weaken the entire point of having citizen soldiers, by placing a choke point on the use of weapons; that authority in the hands of a few strips away the rights of the many.
And if the Founders (those aforementio
Examples of words that have changed: Gay (Happy, now means homosexual), Handsome (once used to refer only to women and Men were "beautiful"), Counterfeit (perfect copy, now means fake), Nice (Ignoramus, now means friendly), Awful (full of awe, now means the opposite), Brave (False courage, AKA Bravado, now means true courage).
"The War of 1812 can hardly be said to have gone badly for the US, it was a bit of a mess for both sides actually, and as far as I know ended as something of a stalemate:"
The White House was set on fire. That's "going badly".
"Your exhortation to me to "go get a modern muzzleload" and load it and fire it is no less stupid than when you first suggested it. I know nothing about how to load guns, muzzleloaded or otherwise".
And therefore you wouldn't have the skill set to join a Militia.
No skill, no Militia, no National Defense.
David H, I knew the correct word was interperted because I know how everybody on this site likes to belittle their opponents on their grammar. No I do not want to have a never ending conversation about your opinions of someone else's countries constitutional rights. I enjoy watching you enlighten others with your wisdom.
@David H. "My assumption, and I don't believe it is too far a stretch to even your imagination, is that 18th Century American colonists almost certainly would have known how to do this and would have been instructing their sons as soon as they were old enough to be taken on hunting expeditions"
Wait for it... wait for it... now !
And IF they were not allowed to own weapons, HOW would they have accomplished this instruction ?
Answer: they couldn't. The knowledge and skill would be lost.
No weapons, no skill, no Militia, no National Defense, no more Nation founded by "We, the People".
Just as England had a Law requiring Yoemen to practice with the Welsh Longbow to be ready for war, Americans needed the right to have and bear arms in order to be ready for war.
Hm. It would appear my "imagination" is quite acute.
"I have said enough in my previous post regarding the meaning of 'militia' both as a dictionary defines it, and as it is defined in your own US MIlitary Code."
If you want to be strictly accurate, you'd need a definition that predates 1776; the US Military Code post-dates that.
And since we know the Founder's choices of words in the Constitution were dependent on their meaning then, and the meaning of words changes over time... it's not surprising that terms like "well-regulated", and "Militia" are now subject to debate.

Novice quilters looking for their first big projects can be intimidated by elaborate patterns with complicated piecing. On the other hand, many beginner quilt patterns lack the wow factor that today's quilters crave.
This week's free fabric giveaway is a stack of fat quarters called Surrounded by Love by Deb Strain for Moda. I can think of certain new graduates, expectant moms, and brides-to-be who would love quilt gifts made from this fabric.
Many people ask me for beginning quilting
projects. When you are learning how to quilt, often it's best to start
with a easy sewing project that has quilted or patchwork element, like
coasters, place mats, or a little bag.
Judging by the comments on the Quilting Daily Facebook page, a lot of you received fabric and new quilting gadgets for Christmas—perhaps even a new sewing machine? If you're like me, you're now itching to use those new goodies in quilting projects.
At first glance, the worlds of traditional and modern quilting don't seem to have much in common, other than fabric and thread. But of course, modern quilting has its roots in the traditional methods. And, in fact, many contemporary quilters began as traditional or Victorian-style crazy quilters.

how do you say "i don't give a fuck" in spanish?
The literal translation of "i don t give a fuck" from English to Spanish is "no me importa una mierda." Two more gentle ways of saying it might be "Realmente no me importa," which means "I really don't care," or "Realmente no podia importa menos," which is "I really couldn't care any less."

The Sunrises in the east on a very cold frosty morning in Yosemite Valley. As the sun breaks the horizon the first rays of light shine bright off the face of El Capitan and the Merced River flows on by.
El Capitan is a vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park, located on the north side of Yosemite Valley, near its western end. The granite monolith extends about 3,000 feet (900 m) from base to summit along its tallest face, and is one of the world's favorite challenges for rock climbers.
The formation was named "El Capitan" by the Mariposa Battalion when it explored the valley in 1851. El Capitán ("the captain", "the chief") was taken to be a loose Spanish translation of the local Native American name for the cliff, variously transcribed as "To-to-kon oo-lah" or "To-tock-ah-noo-lah". It is unclear if the Native American name referred to a specific Tribal chief, or simply meant "the chief" or "rock chief". In modern times, the formation's name is often contracted to "El Cap", especially among rock climbers.

SEBAGO LAKE, Maine (NEWS CENTER)--Maine police agencies stepped up enforcement in a big way this week as part of Operation Dry Water. Operation Dry Water is a national effort to educate the public that drinking and boating don't mix. Nationally, hundreds of boaters learned a hard lesson. They received tickets and some were arrested.
John Fetterman of Manchester, Maine is the Director of Law Enforcement for the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA). This is the second year of the program and Fetterman told News Center that they are seeing evidence that their efforts are working.
"Last year, they were saying we're out here ruining their fun. This year we're seeing a shift. This year, we're seeing people be supportive of our efforts because I think the recognition of our educational outreach says this is about safety. This is about family. This is about the time I spend on my water with my family and boating and driving do not mix," Fetterman told News Center.
All available officers from the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the Maine Marine Patrol and the Coast Guard focused on Opertion Dry Water over the weekend. Lt. Adam Gormely of the Maine Warden Service summed it up succinctly, "No one wants to be around a bunch of drunks."
Maine has had a number of serious alcohol fatalities among boaters in the last year.

Remember a few months ago, smack dab in the middle of what we're now calling the Arab Spring, Vogue published that buttery profile of Syrian first lady Asma al-Assad? Well, Asma has fled her protest-torn country, and now any attempts to get to that story on Vogue's website are met with a hyper-branded Vogue error message (The content you're looking for cannot be found!) that features Sasha Pivovarova doing some serious mean mugging.
That's because since the profile was published, Asma's husband, Syrian president Bashar Assad, has been hard at work cracking down on anti-government demonstrators, and has by some estimates killed 300 protestors and put about 10,000 more behind bars. Those demonstrations started in March, when a group protesters was beaten and jailed after calling for the release of group of political prisoners about 3,000 strong.
Asma is believed to be in London or in one of the surrounding counties with her children, having been told by a government official to "get out as soon as you can."
The article was published in the March issue of Vogue, and since it landed online and on newsstands, it's gotten a lot of controversy for making the magazine appear blind to the struggles of people not just in Syria, but all over the Middle East. Vogue senior editor Chris Knutsen explained that the profile went to press before the revolutions in , and that it wasn't intended to be a "referendum on the al-Assad regime," but instead a profile of Syria's first lady.
The story's publication might have been ill-timed, but for a long time the magazine stood by the story by at least keeping it alive online, and they should have — it took writer Joan Juliet Buck the better part of a year (and, we're guessing, a lot of Vogue fundage) to gain access to al-Assad, research her life and write the profile.
But deleting it from the annals of the Internet seems cowardly. Vogue understands that it has made an embarrassing mistake. But acting like it never happened isn't going to make it go away.

Lawyer-client privilege bars release of some documents, Philadelphia archdiocese says
Catholic World News - March 19, 2012
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has refused to release some documents for the sex-abuse trial of a former archdiocesan official, saying that the documents are protected by the lawyer-client privilege.
Lawyers for Msgr. William Lynn are seeking to subpoena letters from an exchange he had with archdiocesan attorneys while he was secretary for clerical affairs. The archdiocese is resisting the subpoena, saying that the lawyer-client privilege in this case applies not only to Msgr. Lynn but to the archdiocese, since he was seeking legal advice for the archdiocese rather than for himself.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Austerity is having a terrible week.
From the U.K. to the U.S. to the euro zone, the results are coming in from the real-time experiment our governments have been conducting on the economic doctrine that asserts that debt is bad, anytime and everywhere.
The evidence is mounting. It turns out that cutting deficits isn't really the path to prosperity.
The recent economic reports from the United States are particularly discouraging, if only because we'd gotten our hopes up that quickly reducing the deficits would actually strengthen the economy.
For a while early this year, just after the fiscal-cliff deal, it appeared that the economy might weather the fiscal contraction without many ill effects, contrary to the forecasts that tax increases and budget cuts would reduce economic growth this year by at least 1.5 percentage points and take a paycheck away from as many as three-quarters of a million people.
Boxers and briefs: Economic bellwethers?
One sartorial indicator of the state of the economy may be the state of a man's underwear drawer.
The stock market was hitting new highs, job growth was good and consumer spending was strong. Gross domestic product was projected to grow at a 3% annual rate in the first three months of the year.
But the latest data show that cutting the deficit really will hamper growth this year. And the worst is yet to come. Consumers are still adjusting to the reality that they are once again paying the full payroll tax, a hit amounting to $1,000 a year for the typical family. The impact of the sequester's indiscriminate budget cuts will be a long, drawn-out process that's only just beginning to be felt.
The fiscal drag isn't large enough to push the economy back into a recession (we pray!), but it is holding back spending, and therefore it is holding back job growth. The evidence says that the fiscal drag is real.
For instance, just in the past few days we've seen these headlines:
• Some retailers told the Federal Reserve that "the end of the payroll tax credit was having an increasingly negative effect on retail sales." Defense contractors and others who work with the government also expressed concern about budget cuts.
• The Conference Board said government-spending cuts were acting as a headwind to the economy, which is expected to grow only slowly.
• Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, said that the United States needs fiscal consolidation (her technical term for austerity) in the medium-term, but not so much now. In its World Economic Outlook, the IMF said U.S. fiscal consolidation was "overly strong." Europeans were urged to loosen the purse strings, if they can.
But the biggest headline of the week on the austerity beat was the debunking of the most influential academic paper that underpinned the theory that austerity equals growth.
Three University of Massachusetts economists re-examined the data used by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff in their 2010 paper and concluded that there is no tipping point at which debt suddenly becomes unbearable. There is no urgency to keep the debt-to-GDP ratio below 90%, as Reinhart and Rogoff insisted and as policy makers around the world embraced.

Thomas Love
Tom Love was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and has lived most of his life in Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta. A very early interest in art lay, not fully actuated, while he established a career in business and participated in raising two wonderful children with his wife, Dora. He currently resides in Edmonton and paints full time from his home studio.
Moving his family to Edmonton in 1983 was a catalyst in his artistic life and looking for an activity to provide him more fulfillment, he enrolled in a watercolor class which provided a direction and focus for the rediscovered artistic energies. Classes and workshops with several professionals in the medium refined the technical skills and have allowed the development of a unique and recognizable style which continues to evolve.
Tom paints a very broad spectrum of subject matter and often chooses to include the human form in order to provide a focus of interest. Subjects are often set in common place and are rendered realistically without being photographic or photo-realistic. The themes of his paintings are often romantic and are chosen to evoke strong emotion in the viewer and to provoke a strong identification with the subject.
Exploring various subject matter has resulted in such accomplishments as a corporate calendar, an international magazine cover and recognition, three times, by The Artist's Magazine for submissions to its annual, international art competition.
Tom's current focus is to create a body of figurative work because the inclusion of people in his work gives it a "life" like nothing else can. He feels that rendering the human face and form forces him to hone his execution skills to create a likeness in a way that no other subject matter does. Light and shading on figures using the transparent watercolour medium, presents a challenge in presenting realistic flesh tones in his renderings especially nudes. Equally challenging are the frequent personal commissions he undertakes. These tend to be depictions of children for proud parents or romantic pieces for significant others.
Tom has taught several classes and workshops locally and is lately directing his energy toward organizing and escorting annual two week "safaris" to Cuba for the enjoyment of artists and non-artists alike. As a result of his many visits to that warm and spectacular country, Tom was invited to exhibit by the University of Havana, Cuba in 2001.
With his career in business successfully concluded, he is concentrating on establishing a solid reputation for his artwork by actively seeking recognition through juried exhibitions throughout Canada and the United States. His paintings hang in private and public collection across Canada and in the USA and Europe. Tom is a Signature Member of the Society of Western Canadian Artists in Edmonton and an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists in Vancouver.
What started out as a wonderful hobby in 1983 has developed into a very rewarding second career. He says, " Creating my art is much like being paid to eat ice cream."

By Liz Kotalik. CREATED Dec 6, 2013
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Miles and miles from ground, way up in the atmosphere, you'll see stars and the curvature of earth, all while tucked away inside a capsule called "World View".
"This is for people who want to take their spouse, best friend, go for hours, luxuriously looking at the world below them, having the champagne and caviar," C.E.O. of Paragon Space Development Corporation Taber Maccallum told Nine On Your Side.
Paragon is making the technology for this out of this world experience right here in Tucson, in hopes of taking you to the edge of the world in about three years.
"Rather than using rockets, which are inherently dangerous, Maccallum said, "we use a very high altitude balloon to take passengers to the frontier of space."
You'll spend hours floating 18 miles from ground.
That's the same distance Felix Baumgartner made that historic "space jump" last year.
But, with the amazing views come what some call the obvious dangers.
"Everyone that gets on the capsule has to understand the inherent risk with space flight, especially since it's so new," State Representative Ethan Orr told 9OYS.
He and Maccallum compared "World View" to doing something like climbing Mount Everest...you could get hurt.
That's why Orr is sponsoring legislation that would protect companies if something does go wrong.
"I think it's simply acknowledging that when they acknowledge that risk, they can't then in a court of law say 'I can't acknowledge that risk,'" Orr said.
New Mexico and Texas both have similar laws on book, and Orr and Maccallum believe having a similar law in Arizona will keep companies like Paragon launching their big ideas here.
Paragon will have a test launch in about a year, and once everything is set, anyone can go up in "World View"....if you've got $75,000 to spare.

A soupcon of caution is advised when making conclusions about population trends. Three years ago, when population growth in outlying regions was outpacing areas closer to a big city, it was easy to conclude that demographic movements would give new meaning to the term "urban sprawl."
That trend has reversed, however: Exurban growth rates are at historic lows.
We can't conclude anything from this other than the fact that right now people don't relish a long commute. What we can conclude is that suburban areas (as opposed to exurban areas) continue to attract homeowners.
Also of note is that Cherokee County, too far from Tulsa to be suburban or exurban, is growing rapidly — as is Texas County in the Panhandle, which is about as far from a big city as one can get.
Exurbs are cities that attract commuters but don't border a large central city. You generally have to drive through a suburb and into open, undeveloped country before reaching an exurb. Guthrie is an example.
The fastest-growing county in Oklahoma is Canadian County, which contains the suburb of Yukon but also the exurb of El Reno. In Tahlequah, seat of Cherokee County, folks are moving in because they want to live and work in the area rather than live there and work in Tulsa.
Sometimes the drive from suburbs is counterintuitive, such as Oklahoma State University faculty members who live in Edmond but work in Stillwater. Or University of Oklahoma faculty who live in Oklahoma City but work in Norman.
Freedom of movement is a key tenet of American life and it's especially relished around here. Only recently have grave concerns been expressed about extending Oklahoma City's urban sprawl to the woodlands of eastern Oklahoma County. The concern isn't over high gasoline prices or pollution. It's over the value of property damage incurred in wildfires.

Alternate title: Ruby & Quentin, Shut Up
Gerard Depardieu and Jean Reno headline this comedic chase film about a pair of escaped convicts with two very different goals. Ruby (Reno) is a criminal with real gusto; in addition to stealing a crime boss' wife, he also made off with most of the gangster's cash. He almost got away with it, too. Now serving hard time for his bold crime, Ruby runs into Quentin (Depardieu), a desperate inmate with a brilliant escape plan. Before long, Ruby and Quentin are back on the outside. But they're hardly free; the cops are searching high and low for the fleeing convicts, and Ruby has a high price on his head. All Quentin wants is to maintain a low profile and open a coffee-house, but Ruby won't be happy until he's taken revenge on the criminal who had him incarcerated. Perhaps with a little look, both men will get what they're after. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A different type of manipulation of a clematis from an old file. I love the colours and this reminds me a bit of a fractal. This was the result of a very quiet Friday evening when my husband went to speedway and I had an evening to myself.
Just messing about..I haven't a clue what I did..I should really learn to write down the stages but it took about 90 minutes.
It is lovely weather here in Cornwall, I do hope you have the same and wishing you all a happy week ahead.
|nikon d 50 Check out Nikon Nation!
|Recording media:
|JPEG (digital)
Oh Wow!!
Very different indeed.
Still the stunning detail of the manipulation.
But now you have added movement too
Very effective.
You can hang it on the wall Di. Excellent work of art.
Love this one! Helen has just explained how this differs from earlier work; it is just as beautiful but tremendously dynamic with a great rush of lead-in lines to the multiple explosions of shapes and colours.
By the time I remember to write down a manipulation process it is always too late
I'm thinking Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Helen is right, this has movement, it's dynamic and free. Stunning work.
Super curls and swirls, a wonderful dynamic image.
amazing work... 90 mins and well worth the time for a image such as this
Love it, amazing manipulation the colours are gorgeous.
Writing down always seems to distract from the creative process - maybe a small tape recorder might be a good answer - I often talk to myself when I "play" around.
This turned out beautifully, hope you can remember the steps and create another treasure.
absolutely stuning image
very well captured and worked
like this a lot
Hi Di, this absolutely stunning 1st class manipulation
Ah now you've been playing games with your flower images again. For some reason this one creates the impression of looking upwards towards the ceiling of a magical palace in a fairytale land. More 'Alice in Wonderland' than 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' for me.
This is really wakky, but very very effective. Well done even though you can't remember what you did, it's great. Trish
Excellent work again Diana, well worth such a nice award!
Hope you're well,
I'd say...90 minutes worth of superb messing about, Like this very much Di, colours are wonderful.
A glorious riot of colour,the way you are lead in to it is perfect,A real beauty,good work Di,David
Wonderful colours and patterns in this cracking colourful, cosmic creation
Really impressed with this - how on earth do you do these? Sandra

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I'm self employed, keeping busy with 2 businesses and employed with a third. In my spare time I enjoy movies, theatre, shows. Varied interest in television shows and sitcoms. I have and can appreciate a great sense of humor and wit, which can prove indispensable to help ease the stress and curve balls that life often pitches.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Solving problems, especially practically any and everything to do with mechanically related issues; I've been nicknamed the "problem solver"! I'm a Master Locksmith & security expert, I enjoy what I do and have become very good at it. I'm extremely resourceful in many aspects and take pride in making the most of any situation.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My sense of humor and quick wit. I'm very self reliant yet not afraid to seek help and advice when necessary. Although I am neat, clean and average in appearance, I've been told I have a deep, soothing voice =).
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Dining out; convertible drives; occasional motorcycle rides; amusement parks; the Jersey shore; Coney Island; karaoke with friends; long walks or quiet moments at home; spending time with friends and family; sharing any and everything with that special someone. I enjoy any and all foods and ethnic cuisines; comedy, drama, horror movies (even the occasional "chick flick"); music interests from easy listening to metal and anything in between; I enjoy all the popular TV shows: Walking Dead, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Big Bang Theory, etc.; not a big reader of fiction but I just had to check out what all the hype is about "50 Shades of Grey".
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
A sharp mind; Good Food; Good Friends; Independence; Family; A best friend and companion
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Ways to make a difference.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Doing just about anything between relaxing at home, watching the tube or out dining, a movie, shopping and browsing, or just about any interesting activity; depends on the mood and the company.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
...is that I will admit and share that most private thing with the right someone!
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You find my way of thinking compatible with yours, you're also looking to find a good, possibly great friend and companion, or you're just intrigued and curious.
Note: To any and all the mature, thoughtful and kind women who take, or have taken the time to reply, or have replied to my personal introduction message, I thank you. For some reason it's a relatively rare courtesy here. To those who will not, or have not, I suggest you consider that when the same lack of courtesy is returned from elsewhere.

Chapter 14 Part 4 | Lovers and Beloveds | IHGK Book 1
The kiss edged away the misery of the day, mixing with the port that suddenly made itself evident in the languor of his limbs, a drowsiness that shifted to arousal as she opened her mouth to him. He remembered kissing her before; he'd brought himself, more than once, remembering that kiss and her slim waist in his arms. He slipped his arms around her now, and kissed her down against the cushions. She was here for him, his consolation. She was the girl who would open the road to Allis and Issak in the most delightful way possible.

In the United States, buildings are responsible for the consumption of about half of all energy produced. Therefore, when looking to reduce energy usage and create a more sustainable community, it makes sense to turn a keen eye on the built environment. The concept of green building is a significant component of Los Alamos County's quest for hydrocarbon independence identified in the Environmental Sustainability Initiative. In the past couple of years, Los Alamos County has taken significant action in its efforts to decrease energy usage in County buildings.

Social isolation affects how people behave as well as how their brains operate, a study at the University of Chicago shows.
The research, presented Sunday at a symposium, "Social Emotion and the Brain," at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is the first to use fMRI scans to study the connections between perceived social isolation (or loneliness) and activity in the brain. Combining fMRI scans with data relevant to social behavior is part of an emerging field examining brain mechanismsan approach to psychology being pioneered at the University of Chicago.
Researchers found that the ventral striatuma region of the brain associated with rewardsis much more activated in non-lonely people than in the lonely when they view pictures of people in pleasant settings. In contrast, the temporoparietal junctiona region associated with taking the perspective of another personis much less activated among lonely than in the non-lonely when viewing pictures of people in unpleasant settings.
"Given their feelings of social isolation, lonely individuals may be left to find relative comfort in nonsocial rewards," said John Cacioppo, the Tiffany and Margaret Blake Professor in Psychology at the University. He spoke at the briefing along with Jean Decety, the Irving B. Harris Professor in Psychology and Psychiatry at the University.
The ventral striatum, which is critical to learning, is a key portion of the brain and is activated through primary rewards such as food and secondary rewards such as money. Social rewards and feelings of love also may activate the region.
Cacioppo, one of the nation's leading scholars on loneliness, has shown that loneliness undermines health and can be as detrimental as smoking. About one in five Americans experience loneliness, he said. Decety is one of the nation's leading researchers to use fMRI scans to explore empathy.
They were among five co-authors of a paper, "In the Ey
