The new AT&T Nokia Lumia 900 is the first smartphone design that can compete with the iPhone. I'd buy this in a heartbeat. I do love the WP7 OS. I'm personally very excited about this phone and have been using WP7 since it's launched. I'm personally very excited about this phone and have been using WP7 since it's launched. Most people don't even know that it exists, and if they do, WP7 needs a bit more maturity, but when it comes to performance and consistency of experience (UI elements, stability etc.) I found that the Windows phone and the iPhone were far more stable than the Android phones in my household.

What is Baseline testing?
Baseline testing for concussion is a form of testing used to gather objective information regarding an individual's normal or baseline brain function. So you can help your doctors now in the treatment of future concussions. With this testing, you can get a picture of how your brain functions in a normal state. Call (602) 839-7285 for more information about Baseline testing at Banner Concussion Center.
Sports Physicals and Baseline Concussion Testing
Throughout the summer, the Banner Concussion Center and Sports Medicine Clinic will offer Pre-Participation Physicals and Baseline Concussion Testing for youth athletes. The sports physical will be performed by a board-certified physician in sports medicine and internal medicine.
Also see: Brainstamp Group Baseline Testing
Since normal brain function differs from person to person, baseline testing gives clinicians a point of reference when later evaluating the neurological impact of an injury.

How is it done?
Baseline testing uses computerized programs to measure one's ability to recognize, remember and react to words and pictures. The results provide a fingerprint of sorts to illustrate how the brain functions in a non-concussed state.
Since concussion also can impact balance and vision, Banner Concussion Center is one of the few facilities in the country to offer comprehensive balance and visual integration testing to ensure a more complete and objective analysis of one's overall brain function.
This information, or a person's BrainStamp, could then be used to compare performance of the same activities, should he or she ever sustain a concussion. It is important to note that this testing is not intended to be a diagnostic tool.
- Balance baseline testing is performed on Bertec® equipment, using force plate technology to determine balance function under a number of conditions.
- Neurocognitive testing is done using the ImPACT© (Immediate Post concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) tool. ImPACT© is the standard of care for the NFL, NHL, MLB and most NCAA Institutions. The testing evaluates the following neurocognitive functions:
- brain processing speed
- memory
- reaction time
- visual motor skills
- Visual performance baseline testing uses computer and fine motor skill assessments that measure the speed and accuracy of vision and the brain's ability to integrate visual information.
How do I access the Baseline test results?
BrainStamp results are kept at the Banner Concussion Center and can be accessed as needed.
How frequently do I need to do Baseline concussion testing?
It is recommended to have anyone 15 and under tested each year. Anyone at the high school level should get tested every other year. Call (602) 839-7285 for more information about whether and how often to get tested.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville has been filming the show for quite some time and her sons have never been a part of the show. Her ex-husband has fought her on this issue, as he didn't want them to be a part of the show. However, it sounds like she is fighting back now that Eddie and LeAnn will have a show. According to a new Radar Online report published on March 20, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville is fighting against the desires that her children will be on Eddie and LeAnn's scripted reality show.
Eddie has often said that he doesn't want his sons on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" so Brandi is fighting back, saying that they shouldn't be on his show either. She recently had a guest on her Podcast show that asked about this issue. "Are the children going to be on Eddie's show at all?" Glanville's guest "The Millionaire Matchmaker" star Patti Stanger asked while visiting her Podcast show. "No, no, no, no!" Glanville said.
It sounds like Brandi and Eddie can agree on this issue; no children on television. It sounds like they want their sons to live normal lives and focus on their soccer games and baseball practices, rather than focusing on what is happening with them on television.
What do you think of these rules?

curious topic.. feedback would be AWESOME!!
Saturday, December 29, 2012
So, I meet this guy 3 weeks ago. With in those 3 weeks I have hung out with him twice. Each time we hang out he treats me as if hes interested in me. He will kiss me in front of people "grls" he will sit inbetween my legs on the floor when im sitting on the couch everyone we chill with people think we are dating even his mom!!!! But within those 3 weeks we dont text or talk much. So I really only talk to him 2-3x a week if that... and its always him texing me. Their was one time I texted him good morning but never got a text back so that kinda made me feel rejected. I really really like this guy.. but im giving him space. I dont want to seem clingy.. he just got out of a 12 year relationship with his ex girlfriend "its been 1year" but 12 years is along time.. im thinking he still wants to be with her.. he tells me hes done with her but who knows.. or hes taking things slow.. or hes worried to get his heart broken again.. idk what to think.. im over analyzing everything and everytime i posted a blog on sp it always made me feel better! But while im sitting here confused.. its just making me work that much harder at losing weight. Because when I workout I dont think about him...

In my experience, when a guy is REALLY into you and wants to pursue something, he will. Period. But if he doesn't, don't take it as personal rejection. There are many reasons a man may not purse a relationship or make the effort. He could feel not ready for financial reasons or other life circumstances. He could, as you suspect here, not be emotionally ready. He could also not see any long-term potential.
I would say to forget about this guy in any real way for now. Spend time with him but continue to pursue other opportunities. Try to relax and be yourself when you are with him. If you are all twisted up, he'll feel that. Confidence and a relaxed demeanor are more sexy than weight or any other physical attribute. When he's ready, he'll do something and if he doesn't, you won't care because you were already moving on.

Sounds like you're doing the right things - showing you're interested without being too needy or clingy. It's so hard to be patient, though, when you always want to see him NOWWWWWW!!!
Proceed with caution but proceed!

Sounds like he just isn't a very chatty person. Nothing wrong with that--unless you really want a communicative guy who will answer all your texts, etc. I suspect that he isn't really looking for a relationship now--he's just hanging out and enjoying your company. As for the ex factor, lots of men never get over their exes. So be careful there. If he seems to want you to be someone other than your own wonderful self (e.g., "How come you never do X?" or "I like my girlfriend to do Y"), he might be wishing you would do things HER way. In which case, run away!
Good luck,

The Keiser University Master of Science in Nursing degree program has adopted Dr. Jean Watson's philosophy and theory of human caring as a foundation, threaded throughout the curriculum. Keiser University proposes to develop leaders who strive to advance the profession of nursing, grounded in caring holistically for self, others, and the profession.
Program Overview
The American Association of College of Nursing ( AACN ) Essentials of Master's Education in Nursing reflect the profession's continuing call for imagination, transformative thinking, and evolutionary change in graduate education. Knowledge, expanding technologies, increasing diversity, and global health challenges produce a dynamic environment for nursing and amplify nursing's critical contributions to health care. The competencies that support the objectives outlined in the MSN program are a critical component of the Keiser MSN program and core to graduate nursing master's education.
These Essentials are core for all master's programs in nursing and provide the necessary curricular elements and framework, regardless of focus, major, or intended practice setting. These Essentials delineate the outcomes expected of all graduates of master's nursing programs.
The dynamic nature of the healthcare delivery system underscores the need for the nursing profession to look to the future and anticipate the healthcare needs for which nurses must be prepared to address. The complexities of health and nursing care today make expanded nursing knowledge a necessity in contemporary care settings. The transformation of health care and nursing practice requires a new conceptualization of master's education. Master's education in nursing must prepare the graduate to:
The nine Essentials addressed in the Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes guide the preparations of graduates for diverse areas of practices in any healthcare setting:
Recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse integrates scientific findings from nursing, biopsychosocial fields, genetics, public health, quality improvement, and organizational sciences for the continual improvement of nursing care across diverse settings.
Recognizes that organizational and systems leadership are critical to the promotion of high quality and safe patient care. Leadership skills are needed that emphasize ethical and critical decision-making, effective working relationships, and a systems-perspective.
Recognizes that a master's-prepared nurse must be articulate in the methods, tools, performance measures, and standards related to quality, as well as prepared to apply quality principles within an organization.
Recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse applies research outcomes with the practice setting, resolves practice problems, works as a change agent, and disseminates results.
Recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse uses patient-care technologies to deliver and enhance care and uses communication technologies to integrate and coordinate care.
Recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse uses patient-care technologies to deliver and enhance care and uses communication technologies to integrate and coordinate care.
Recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse, as a member and leader of interprofessional teams, communicates, collaborates, and consults with other health professionals to manage and coordinate care.
Recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidenced-based clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregates/identified populations.
Recognizes that nursing practices, at the master's level, is broadly defines as any form of nursing intervention that influences healthcare outcomes for individuals, populations, or systems. Master's level nursing graduates must have an advanced level of understanding of nursing and relevant sciences as well as the ability to integrate this knowledge into practice. Nursing practices interventions include both direct and indirect care components.

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.
The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.
Keiser University has given me the opportunity to embrace a career change… It has opened the door for a timely graduation and quick return to the work force…
Without the education I received at Keiser University, I would not be where I am today!
I not only received an excellent education but also encouragement and training that built my self-confidence every day.
I realize the amount of knowledge I gained and feel that the educational experiences have developed me in to a person who can move higher up the career ladder.
Keiser University's MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose. The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.
It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University. Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors. The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made. The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly. The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.
I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you. I feel like I'm part of a family here, not just a number.
After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren't available to me before.
Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I have been going to another school before, dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information that I need. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.
My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I've made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.
The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.
I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested.

Intervening when a Friend is Addicted to Drugs
Watching someone you love struggle with an addiction can be a painful experience. You want to help them, you may even want to fix them, but you know that you can't. Even if you've never experienced addiction first hand, you've no doubt realized that the addiction will only be overcome if the addict is willing to admit that they have a problem and is ready to do the work necessary to address their problem.
There is one thing that friends and family members can do in order to facilitate the recovery of their loved one. They can work together to stage a drug intervention . This should be done with the help of an experienced drug intervention professional or counselor. They can help with the organization of the event and can prepare all participants for what to expect both from their own participation and from the addict.

- Far better than a conventional airbed
11th September 2013
Much better than conventional air bed, warmer as there is less cold air. Very easy and quick to use and NO inflator needed! It seemed to be more comfortable too. This was a great size as I'm 6ft. Maybe I would go for a slightly thicker one as I used one on top of the other, still good and will use regularly.@RayJay Vango self inflating roll mats are indeed really easy to use , they inflate quickly are comfortable and pack away small too.

Matière à réflexion
Artworks from the Giangioppi-Giroux Collection
Maison des arts de Brompton

29 March to 14 May, 2015
Comptant aujourd'hui plus de 150 œuvres d'artistes pour la majorité québécois émergents et en mi-carrières, la collection Giangioppi-Giroux impressionne tant par la diversité des médiums représentés que par la cohérence de la sélection. Passionné d'art contemporain, Bruno parcourt depuis quinze ans les galeries, centres d'artistes, ateliers d'artistes et musées à la recherche d'œuvres qui l'inspirent, le surprennent et le font réfléchir. Semblable au processus d'acquisition qui allie émotion et analyse, l'exposition met en lumière des œuvres remarquables (peintures, sculptures, photographies) d'une trentaine d'artistes professionnels qui questionnent la matière et posent un regard critique sur l'individu et la société.
Artists in the exhibition: Ludmila Armata, Marie-Ève Beaulieu, Mathieu Beauséjour, Dominique Blain, Emmanuelle Léonard, Tammi Campbell, Chloé Desjardins, Michel De Broin, Raphaelle De Groot, Péio Éliceiry, Nicolas Fleming, Jérôme Fortin, Mathieu Gaudet, Michel Goulet, Dil Hildebrand, François Lacasse, Daniel Lahaise, Jean-Michel Leclerc, Michael Merrill, Luce Meunier, Denis Pellerin, John Player, Marc Séguin, Dominik Sokolowski, Julie Trudel, Josette Villeneuve, Erik Beck, Chih-Chien Wang
Tammi Campbell and Kara Uzelman: concerning certain events.
Mendel Art Gallery, Saskatoon, SK
Curated by acting Chief Curator, Sandra Fraser
January 17 to March 22, 2015
Opens: Friday, January 16 at 7 p.m.
Saskatchewan is known for many things. Home of medicare, the first arts board in North America, wheat, big skies, and The Englishman's Boy. With the only elected socialist government in North America, Saskatchewan had a particular appeal in the 1940s and 50s: utopian chutzpah and an exotic locale. Amongst the legendary outcomes of this period are the Emma Lake Artists' Workshops and research undertaken into the therapeutic use of LSD. Tammi Campbell and Kara Uzelman are two Saskatchewan artists who are taking their artistic cues from this particular history.
Campbell's work is a sustained investigation into the function of modernist painting, with a specific interest in artists who played a role in the development of abstraction here. She plays with the tropes and language of hard-edge abstraction especially, and is in that sense a painter's painter. A series dedicated to Agnes Martin, a simple pencil sketch that Campbell executes each day she works in the studio, entices by its salutation, Dear Agnes, but denies the viewer any legible content. Her practice is a meditation on the process of making.
Uzelman is known for an archeologist's approach to unearthing meaning and relationships between objects. In her recent work, she focuses on place—rural Saskatchewan—through a researcher's lens. This new work is comprised of tableaux based on research into the socio-political and cultural shifts associated with LSD experiments in the province.Her work occupies a site connecting truth seeking and myth making. Campbell and Uzelman offer two strategies for artmaking through research and remaking located in the specifics of this place. Acting Chief Curator Sandra Fraser has curated concerning certain events.
Canadian Biennial, Shine A Light
National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, ON
17 October 2014 - 08 March 2015
The exhibition Shine a Light highlights a selection of recent acquisitions to the National Gallery of Canada's Canadian Contemporary, Indigenous and Photography holdings. It showcases some of the best and most innovative works being made today in a variety – and often combination of – media, from video and film to drawing and painting, photography to sculpture and installation. It reveals the unique ways contemporary Canadian artists are responding to the larger social and political state of the world through their art and how they are choosing interdisciplinary modes of self-expression that transcend traditional categories, materials and genres. The exhibition takes the pulse of contemporary art production in Canada as it becomes part of our national art history.
The exhibition presents over 80 works by 26 artists from across the country: David Armstrong Six, Shuvinai Ashoona, Nicolas Baier, Edward Burtynsky, Tammi Campbell, Mario Doucette, David Hartt, Isabelle Hayeur, Philippa Jones, Stéphane La Rue, Rita Letendre, An Te Liu, David McMillan, Damian Moppett, Luke Parnell, Vanessa Paschakarnis, Ed Pien, Tim Pitsiulak, Kelly Richardson, Jeremy Shaw, Althea Thauberger, Jutai Toonoo, Howie Tsui and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun. Shary Boyle's The Cave Painter, presented at the last Venice Biennale, and Geoffrey Farmer's monumental installation Leaves of Grass, shown at dOCUMENTA (13), are also featured.

Why Can't Minimal
Curated by John G Hampton
Justina M Barnike Gallery, Hart House, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON
September 2 - October 19, 2014
Opening Reception: September 11, 2014, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Curator's Tour: September 20, 2014, 2:00 pm
Panel Discussion: October 14, 2014, 6:00 pm at the University of Toronto Art Centre
Why Can't Minimal addresses the humorous side of minimal art by embracing its humanity and latent absurdity. The exhibition rejects the assumption that minimal art requires solemn, unmoving contemplation, and instead embraces the more intuitive, jovial, and personal pleasures that occur when one has fun with the comically utopian ambitions of unitary forms. Playing with the forms, traditions and incongruities of multiple minimalisms, the presented works elude rational thought, repositioning conceptual value away from cognitive labour, towards the instinctual recognition offered through levity, play, humour and sentiment.
With works by Jennifer Marman & Daniel Borins, John Baldessari, John Boyle-Singfield, John Marriott, John Wood & Paul Harrison, Jon Sasaki, Ken Nicol, Liza Eurich, and Tammi Campbell.
Central Art Garage, Ottawa, ON
Vernissage Thursday October 9th 7-11pm
Show runs until January 2015
This exhibition draws together 3 Canadian artists; Tammi Campbell, Neil Harrison, and Kristiina Lahde, all working well beyond what one would describe as a contemporary modernist revival. Each has found a succinct way, through their work, to talk about form and function. The tie that binds these artists is referenced in the exhibition title "Hard To Look At" a nod to hard-edged or ruled work (the practice of using rulers, straight edges, tape measures and masking tape to produce a defined edge). The approach each artist has taken ranges from theoretical to literal. By applying the practice of hard-edged work combined with an unconventional use of materials these artists have forged a new direction in Canadian art, all the while referencing the past.

March 2014: Soi Fischer Thematic Residency at Artscape Gibraltar Point, Toronto Island.
The Thematic Residency Program offers artists the opportunity to work independently with the mentorship of a visiting professional artist, curator or critic working in international contemporary art. For two weeks every month artists retreat to Artscape Gibraltar Point on Toronto Islands, which provides short-term accommodation and studio space for artists to research and develop their contemporary art practice. Thematic residencies explore various models including studio work, formal lectures, group discussion, peer collaboration and outdoor retreats. This direction allows individual residents to find common ground amongst each other's disparate practices and establish new connections through communal dialogue.
Unfaithful Remake: Tammi Campbell
Program Dates: March 10 - 24, 2014
Application Deadline: February 7, 2014
How do we reconcile the past with the present, the original and the copy? The remake, the replica, the re-imagined, and the repositioned offer what artist Sherrie Levine thought of as the aura of originality. "Are these [works] more original? I don't know. What I continue to be interested in is what it means to be original. It's not that I don't think there is such a thing as originality. I'm interested in sameness. What does it mean for two things to be identical, or not."
Unfaithful Remake will mimic the broken telephone game as its structure, in which we explore messages that have passed through a group of people. It is assumed that errors accumulate in retellings, and during our residency we will explore contemporary notions of authorship, with a focus on context, pastiche, appropriation and more in an attempt to consider what originality means, and see if a statement announced by the last resident to hear it differs significantly from the one uttered by the first.

NOVEMBER 2013: Fool Me Twice, Dunlop Art Gallery (Central Gallery), SK
November 15 - January 19, 2014
Organized by the Dunlop Art Gallery
November 15, 2013 - January 19, 2014
Curated by Blair Fornwald
An essay about the exhibition authored by Jeff Nye is included in DAG Volumes #2, now available through the Dunlop Art Gallery
The artists in Fool Me Twice use the technique of tromp l'eoil - "fooling the eye." Tammi Campbell's Work in Progress resembles partially completed hard line abstractions, marked with pencil lines and painter's tape. Each piece of peeling tape and each tenuous pencil mark, however, is convincingly fabricated with acrylic paint - the viewer is looking at a completed painting. Campbell's work underscores the decision-making processes that determine when a work in progress is ascribed the higher status of "art."
A comparable dialogue is present in Marc Courtemanche's sculptural works - chairs, stools, and woodworking tools are meticulously crafted from carved clay, and still life subjects like apples and bananas are cast from layer upon layer of poured paint. Without a framing device claiming these convincing facsimiles as art, they would slip quietly into the everyday. By undermining visual assumptions, both artists ask pertinent philosophical questions about what it means to state the Duchampian declarative: "this is art." - Blair Fornwald, curator
SEPTEMBER 2013: They Made a Day Be A Day Here at the Mendel Art Gallery, SK

They made a day be a day here.
They made a day be a day here.
They made a day be a day here by
a year by a year yearly they made a
day be a day here by the year.
— Gertrude Stein, How to Write, 1931
Between 2007 and 2011, I traveled across the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba searching for and writing about contemporary art. My travels were not linear, as if drawing a line from left to right or right to left across the middle of Canada. If my travels were to be traced, they would be lines jutting and dotting from one direction to another, looping and curling with no apparent logic. This is how I wandered, with no apparent logic, as a density of this kind holds no logic. I wandered across the flatness until, — to my astonishment —the flatness only got flatter.
They say writing must begin somewhere before it ends. My writing began long before my travelling started, but together they formed a sense of identity from this place. Right now, my writing continues as my travels across the flatness slow down, and it is in the gap between these two understandings that this exhibition arises.
I lived across these provinces, this place commonly referred to as "the Prairies." I will always be informed by this time: not just informed by learned facts and tricks like how to properly put out a fire (by stirring as well as dousing) or drive against the big red sun (with faith), but informed in my perceptual foundations from how I see to how I walk.
I have always believed that you can never truly know a place until you walk it. Each step taken is an interaction between a place and your senses, but this is only half the story. My looping, jutting travelling brought me into hundreds of homes, studios, and exhibition spaces. I have had the pleasure of countless and assorted conversations, coffees and teas, and crackers with cubed cheese. We were all isolated geographically and perhaps politically, but we each held a space, and together we made a place.
The place was here, not there, and I was finally starting to understand how they made a day be a day here…

SEPTEMBER 2013: Slow Read, Columbia College, Chicago, IL.
September 3 to November 2, 2013
Slow Read presents the work of five Chicago painters alongside collections of books curated by each artist. The selected books, which range from Roberto Bolaño's biographies of imaginary Pan-American authors to Anaïs Nin's diaries, offer unique points of access to the complex and subtle abstract work in the exhibition. Installed amongst the work these curated libraries also offer moments of respite, slowing down the viewer's experience and allowing them the time to absorb the complexities of the paintings and drawings on display.
As part of Slow Read, the artists will work with the Center for Book and Paper Arts on the production of a limited edition artist book that will be available during the exhibition.
Artist Nazafarin Lotfi selected my one-of-a-kind handmade book of letters to Agnes Martin for her bookshelf.

Curated by York Lethbridge
Mercer Union
Toronto, ON
June 28 - August 4, 2013
The Thick Of It brings together work by seven artists that balances process and the material concerns of painting, not as a discrete medium, but as a starting point with outcomes that blur disciplinary boundaries. Works here posit painting as a meditative or mundane activity, and painting as objects created with specific conceptual intentions or propositions. Instead of being apprehensive about disciplinary baggage, the artists represented here borrow from a range of painterly methods that yield diverse and intriguing products – distillates of studied experimentation.
JUNE 2013: They Made A Day Be A Day Here
Curated by Amy Fung
Art Gallery of Grande Prairie, Grande Prairie, AB
June 7 - August 25, 2013
Spanning five years and over four hundred posts later, the founder and author of Prairie Artsters has organized a pan-prairie exhibition of contemporary artists. Featuring a line up of Amalie Atkins (Saskatoon, SK), Heather Benning (Rural Saskatchewan/Nokomis, SK), Jennifer Bowes (Grande Prairie, AB/Dawson Creek, BC), Tammi Campbell (Saskatoon, SK), Brenda Draney (Edmonton/Slave Lake, AB), Sarah Anne Johnson (Winnipeg, MB), Wednesday Lupypciw (Calgary, AB), Maria Madacky (Coaldale, AB), Mary-Anne McTrowe (Lethbridge, AB), Divya Mehra (Winnipeg, MB), Jennifer Stillwell (Winnipeg, MB/Victoria, BC), and Leesa Streifler (Regina, SK), They Made A Day Be A Day Here focuses on new works that explore the shifting identities of artists living and working in the Canadian prairies. The artists in this exhibition are largely born after 1970 and focus has been given to the wry reflections of invisibility in artistic labour production. The works assembled together for They Made A Day Be A Day Here are addressing issues of time, labour, place, and identity through mediating histories of lineages and methodologies from craft to Modernism.
A catalogue with essays by Shawna Dempsey & Lorri Millan, Anthea Black & Nicole Burisch, and Joan Borsa with artist portraits by Amy Fung will be available in the Fall of 2013.

The Painting Project proposes to delineate the practice of painting in Canada for a wide audience, based on exhaustive research in a didactic register and with a selection of 60 works by as many artists. The ambition of this initiative is to provide a broader view of painting in Canada by founding a "panorama in the making", according to 4 sections: the figure of reality, emanating from the procedures of figuration, in line with the great painting traditions; fictional worlds, arising from figurative undertakings with content that is either symbolic—inspired by cartoons, comic strips, graphic novels, the media or commercial illustration—or 100 per cent computer-based; painting as the subject, where, by means of quotation, gesture and abstraction, "how to paint" becomes the subject matter; and, finally, hybrid practices, in which painting develops in osmosis with other art disciplines to produce object-paintings, writing-paintings and photograph-paintings.
Le Projet Peinture, qui réunit une soixantaine d'œuvres d'autant d'artistes, veut esquisser le pourtour de la pratique picturale au Canada pour un large auditoire, en appui sur une recherche extensive et avec une résonnance didactique affirmée. L'ambition consiste à offrir un « panorama en projet » de la peinture, selon un examen des catégories observables aujourd'hui. Elles sont au nombre de quatre et c'est par elles que s'articule la sélection : les « figures du réel » émanant de démarches attachées à la figuration et s'inscrivant dans la lignée des grandes traditions picturales ; les « univers de fiction » provenant de démarches figuratives à contenu soit symbolique, soit inspiré de la bande dessinée, des médias et de l'illustration ou soit de l'imagerie de synthèse; la « peinture comme sujet » où c'est le « comment peindre » qui est le sujet de l'œuvre soit par l'utilisation de la citation, par la gestualité ou par l'abstraction; finalement, les « pratiques hybrides » où la peinture se développe au contact des autres disciplines artistiques devenant ainsi une peinture-objet, une peinture-écriture ou une peinture-photographie.

The Painting Project: A New Initiative on Canadian Painting Takes Shape by Louise Dery, Summer Issue 2012 of Canadian Art Magazine Pages 66-71. On newsstands 15 June to 15 September, 2012: http://www.canadianart.ca/features/2012/08/16/the-painting-project/
Despite the paradox of a rich art scene evolving in the near silence of a society scarcely conscious of art, "The Painting Project" seeks to maintain an equilibrium. The exhibition investigates the liveliness of the Canadian painting scene. It includes major artists (but not all of them) and little-known artists (though there could have been others). It demonstrates that to study painting produced in Canada is to allow a reflection of us to emerge, on that contributes to the forging identity.
The survey exhibition (Spring 2013, Montréal) includes works by 60 Canadian painters, including such artists as Arabella Campbell, Janet Werner, Michael Dumontier & Neil Faber, Tammi Campbell, Cynthia Girard, Stéphane La Rue, Chris Kline, Elizabeth Macintosh, Jason McLean, and Pierre Dorion.
The artist would like to thank the Saskatchewan Arts Board for providing a Travel Grant to attend the Painting Project opening and exhibition activities.

NOVEMBER 2012: The Decapitated Museum, Thematic Residency Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta November 13 - December 7, 2012 Faculty: Vincent Normand (FR) Guests: Etienne Chambaud (FR) Speaking for real: this isn't a history painting, it's a book of stories. A book being written with stories like the ones you get told when you're getting your head chopped off—before going up there, or coming back from the show. Stories like they tell in museums. This residency is addressed to participants willing to engage in speculative inquiry on the matter of exhibition, whether they work as artists, curators, or writers. The moment of exhibition will act as a figure towards which converge diverse spaces of authority (the studio, the exhibition space, criticism). The residency will thus be structured in as many points of enunciation, with individual studio and research time, public talks, and collective discussions enhanced by screenings and reading sessions. The question of contemporary art exhibition is inevitably folded on the question of the present. This present is traditionally regarded as the site of a triangular relationship: a subject displays an object under museum lights so that this object meets the gaze of another subject. In the frame of this relationship, the object does not exist outside a scale of which the human eye is both the standard and the currency. We will work to enact a "pocket" reversal of this theatre of a phenomenological present. Our collective research will aim to circumscribe the notion of exhibition according to the terms of an archaeological operation: not a method of access, nor the trigger of a relationship, but an operation of recovery that is the evidence of an accumulation of hidden cuts, invisible deletions, and blind spots that disfigure the representation. The public talks, followed by group discussions and brought further with the contributions of guest faculty, will form chapters of an "underground history" of exhibition making, a counter-history of observation where "exhibiting" means "severing." Through the close study of various critical concepts of exhibition (ranging from the invention of the Memory Theatre to contemporary zoos), we will try to retrieve the vertigo embedded in the event of exhibition: a story of non-human actions at the border of the present and on the fringes of perception. A history without victims or heroes, maybe even without us. This residency program is supported by the French Embassy in Canada and the Institut français.
OCTOBER 2012: I have been awarded a Professional Development Grant from the Access Copyright Foundation. The Access Copyright Foundation was developed to celebrate, encourage and promote Canadian culture. By encouraging creative talent, Canadian culture thrives both nationally and internationally. The Access Copyright Foundation promotes and supports Canadian culture by providing grants intended to encourage the development and dissemination of publishable Canadian works.

OCTOBER 2012: Art on Paper: The 42nd Exhibition Oct 21, 2012 – Jan 13, 2013 Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, North Carolina curated by Xandra Eden. Art on Paper 2012 features regional, national and international artists who have produced significant works made on or of paper. Sixty-five artists were selected through submissions and by invitation. Since 1965, the Weatherspoon's Art on Paper exhibition has charted a history of art through the rubric of one-of-a-kind works on paper. Since its inception, the commitment of xpedx (formerly the Dillard Paper Company) and The Dillard Fund has allowed the Weatherspoon to acquire works from each and every Art on Paper exhibition, resulting in the formation and tremendous growth of the Dillard Collection, which today numbers nearly 600 works. Acquisitions have included work by some of art's seminal practitioners, including Louise Bourgeois, Brice Marden, Joan Mitchell, Robert Smithson, Frank Stella and Eva Hesse.
SEPTEMBER 2012: 4 works from my Works in Progress series have been included in the permanent collection of the Musée d'art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec.
AUGUST 2012: Je Fixes Vertigoes: Le 31e Symposium international d'art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec 3 August - 2 September Curated by Serge Murphy
… I wrote down silences, nights, I wrote down that which could not be said. I stilled vertigoes.--Arthur Rimbaud, A Season in Hell.
An artist is always subject to a variety of vertigoes. He seeks equilibrium on the edge of what he perceives beyond his own being and on which he needs to shed light. Today's art appropriates a wide range of characteristics relative to substance as well as to form. Artists develop simple or excessive ways to give a name to the world in which they live.
Essentially, the 30th anniversary of the International Symposium of Contemporary Art of Baie-Saint-Paul will highlight two antipodal attitudes, two different approaches to creation which are hallmarks of today's art. To that end, the artists selected will be working at two opposite poles of today's artistic practice. Pole one describes a practice which states sparse proposals. In this instance, vertigo refers to a certain concept of the vacuum and to the perception of this concept through works whose reading more or less points to universality by always emphasizing the notions of "less" and of "next to nothing". Here, the experimentation and fabrication strategies are in full view and, often, present scant complexity. Proposals are then monochromic. They reach for the sublime, employ commonplace materials, or make use of primal manipulations that sometimes produce disarming results. The second pole is characterized by fullness, bushiness and overflow. Overflow is not the subject. Overflow, excess are the matrices for the work and give meaning to a vertigo where the eyes do not know where to set, because signs, materials, colours are everywhere and haphazardly assembled. The proposals are "generous". They are beyond measure and calculation. They are often autobiographical and mainly expressionistic. They pull us into a universe, a cosmogony of intermingled signs where essentials appear everywhere and nowhere in particular. Baie-Saint-Paul's International Symposium of Contemporary Art is a unique annual occurrence in contemporary art. For a whole month, artists are invited to create in front of an ever-larger public. The Symposium is the only professional event of its kind and it has become a prestigious reference in artistic circles. First held in 1982, the Symposium provides the public with an opportunity to get up close to the artist and to enjoy a visual art creation event as it observes a live production process. Historically centered on painting, the event has been exploring, in recent years, the links between painting and other art forms. Established artists work alongside emerging talents. This is a feature of the Symposium that will continue to be emphasized.
JUNE 2012: I have been awarded an Independent Artist Project Grant from the Saskatchewan Arts Board for a project starting in mid-2013. Two of the main goals of the Saskatchewan Arts Board are to nurture an environment in the province where the public has access to Saskatchewan artists and their work, and to ensure that the arts are valued and appreciated as an essential part of our lives.
JUNE 2012: Sincerely Yours 20 June to 1 July, 2012 Propeller Centre, Toronto, ON Curated by John Kissick. The kernel, the soul—let us go further and say the substance, the bulk, the actual valuable material of all human utterances—is plagiarism. -Jonathan Lethem "Ever wondered what an authentic experience felt like? You know—a feeling that you were reasonably sure was yours' and yours' alone; a gesture that didn't inevitably collapse into a set of cliches; having an idea that didn't already have a citation index attached to it; the premise that you, your thoughts and your actions were in any meaningful way unique? I keep thinking at some point in my past, I must have had an authentic feeling—but certainly not lately. For the most part, I--like most artists I know--have come to an uneasy peace about the whole thing, figuring that "mediation is me" and besides, authenticity is so twentieth-century. But I continue to be haunted by one particularly troubling aspect of this equation: if authenticity is now accepted in most quarters as a cultural construct rather that an existential truth, then how the hell do we recognize sincerity anymore. Or is sincerity, like its corollary authenticity, contingent on a world outside ourselves? And if so, what does it mean for individuals who produce work based on notions of intuition and self-expression? The exhibition has taken as its premise the idea that sincerity is a contested term in contemporary art practice. All of the artists chosen for the exhibition have in some way addressed the challenge of the authentic in a particular way, each coming to the problem with a specific critical strategy. A number of works in the show address a certain longing for a graspable authentic experience that seems somehow just out of reach. There are others for whom our thoroughly mediated world of experience is what constitutes the "new" authentic. Still others see authenticity as simply a social construction, and thus the act of addressing it in art is, at its core, ironic. Together, the works in this exhibition provide an intriguing snapshot into the challenge of being an artist--and in essence locating the self--in this complicated thing we call contemporary art." - John Kissick, Artist and Guest Curator.
JUNE 2012: Where It's At June 22 to September 16, 2012 Mendel Art Gallery Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Curated by Sandra Fraser Where It's At is one of the larger exhibitions drawn from the Mendel Art Gallery's permanent collection. These works reflect the energy and success of Saskatchewan: it is indeed the place to be. The Gallery is also thriving and growing, continuing to present innovative, relevant exhibitions and public programs, and building an outstanding permanent collection that reflects and inspires this community. These artworks have been selected from hundreds acquired in the last several years through purchase or donation. They include sculpture, mixed media, painting, photography and works on paper. Recent collecting activity reveals several emerging themes, although many works resist easy categorization. Images of the landscape address such considerations as history, settlement, adventure, technology and the picturesque. Figurative work ranges from portraiture, and the nature of human relationships, to explorations of the inner world of spirituality and superstition. Some works examine the formal and emotional concerns of abstraction through colour and form, while others reinsert imagery and critique into this contested field. Still others question assumptions around race, gender and difference. Not encyclopedic or even democratic, this is a collection of representations serving as lens, contemplation, provocation or record. It provides a forum for both individual and collective experience. Through these artworks, we contemplate threads of memory and imagine the future while navigating the present: Where It's At. – Sandra Fraser, curator, Mendel Art Gallery. Among the artists are: Martin Bennett, Lori Blondeau, Tammi Campbell, Wally Dion, Jonathan Forrest, David Garneau, Angela Grauerholz, Lee Henderson, Arnaud Maggs, Clint Neufeld, Louise Noguchi, Brenda Pelkey, Ed Pien, Annie Pootoogook, Richard Prince, Adrian Stimson, and Monica Tap.
APRIL 2012: I have been awarded a Canada Council for the Arts Project Grant. I gratefully acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, which last year invested $154 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country. Je tiens à souligner le Conseil des arts du Canada de son soutien. L'an dernier, le Conseil a investi 154 millions de dollars pour mettre de l'art dans la vie des Canadiennes et des Canadiens de tout le pays.
The Painting Project/Projet Peinture From Canadian Art Online: "As 2012 dawns, thoughts inevitably turn to what's next in the Canadian art scene, and there's already a number of key events—both at home and abroad—that promise to make a major impact. Here's a little bit of what we're looking forward to: Co-produced by Montreal venues Arsenal and Galerie de l'UQAM, under the respective directorships of Jean-François Bélisle and Louise Déry, "An Appetite for Painting: Those of the Present" is a fall show (September 20 to December 19, 2012) that will constitute a significant examination of contemporary daubers throughout the country. Selections by curators Marie-Eve Beaupré and Julie Bélisle will cover a wide range of practitioners, including realist Mike Bayne, abstractionist Arabella Campbell, and dozens of others. The project, an undertaking five years in the making, will be shown in Arsenal's vast, 20,000-square-foot main hall. - Canadian Art Magazine, Online Edition, January 4, 2012
JANUARY 2012: I have work in an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Regina, curated by Jack Anderson. After Life runs December 14, 2011 to January 27, 2012. Reception January 25, 2012. This exhibition explores contemporary beliefs about dying, death, and after death. The show features the work of nine artists who offer their personal explorations of various themes such as the cyclical patterns of nature, transcendence, the spirit body, heaven, existentialism, fatalism, rites of passage into the unknown and agnosticism: all possible outcomes of our embodied being after our final breath. Included are artists Tammi Campbell, Tamsin Clark, Jude Griebel, Jennifer McRorie, Christine Ramsay, Steve Rayner, Jean Somnor, John Will, and Sylvia Ziemann.
DECEMBER 2011: AKA Gallery, an artist-run centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is holding a fundraising draw, I have donated one of my framed Dear Agnes letters to the End of the World art draw.
SEPTEMBER 2011: New American Paintings featured my project space at the (e)merge art fair in Washington, DC. Tammi Campbell's modest-scaled paintings on paper suggest the precision and process of taped geometrical shapes and patterning through seemingly unfinished works. Compositions are truncated with application of thin, semi-transparent acrylic, crafted to resemble masking and painters' tape; the placement suggests a continuation of the grey-scale shapes below, while completing the pieces with a confrontation of maker's technique. — Alex Ebstein, New American Paintings, 2011 The works are brainy meditations on the painting processes and its tools (hence her studio-like setup). Allegorically the works reference the materiality of the studio process, but physically they're all about paint — what looks like tape is in fact acrylic media. — Matthew Smith, New American Paintings, 2011
AUGUST 2011: I will have an Artist Project Space at (e)merge art fair. (e)merge will take place September 22 - 25, 2011, in Washington, DC. The Fair will feature over 80 international galleries and nonprofits, as well as individual artist projects. Exhibition vetting committee: • Matthew Higgs, Director/Chief Curator, White Columns, New York, NY • Kristen Hileman, Curator, Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD • Mera Rubell, Rubell Family Collection, Miami, FL and Washington, DC • Manuel de Santaren, collector, Boston, MA and Washington, DC • Nico Vascellari, artist, New York, NY and Vittorio Veneto, Italy • Yvonne Force Villareal, co-founder Art Production Fund, New York, NY. The (e)merge art fair celebrates galleries, artists, artists' work and the creative process. The Fair garners support from all corners of the artworld and aims to create an energetic environment of collaboration and discovery.
The Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts will be auctioning off a donated piece from my Dear Agnes series.

I have a small postcard-sized work in the Going Postal 2010 Auction at the ICA, The Mall, London, UK.
JULY 2010: White Columns, NY has selected my work for their Curated Artist Registry. The registry is comprised of an online database of approximately 600 artists worldwide. The registry serves as a resource for curators, writers, and dealers - as well as a broader public - seeking the work of emerging and under-represented artists.
Works from my Hard-Edge series are in an exhibition ABC: Anything But Canvas at the Snowball Gallery in Toronto. The exhibition runs July 8 to 25, 2010.

FEBRUARY 2010: Interested in a trade? Canadian Artist Paul Butler has created The Upper Trading Post website - a collectively determined, autonomous art economy where economic value is determined through the consensus of peers. It exists to facilitate connections and to create a network through which artists can trade their art. I have a few works up for trade on the site and have already arranged an exchange.
JANUARY 2010: A work from my Imperfection series has been included in a traveling exhibition coordinated by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils and supported the Saskatchewan Arts Board.

Making Money In Stocks: What You Should Know
If you are looking to gain extra income, investing in stocks is the way to go. The returns you can see on your investments may surprise you. However, for you to make large sums of money through investing, you need to study and learn to make the right choices. The following article provides some essentials you need to succeed.
Do not invest too much money in the company for which you work. There is a great deal of risk involved with investing in the company you work for. Should something happen to the company, both your paycheck and that portion of your portfolio are in danger. The only time you should consider purchasing stock in the business you work for is when shares are being discounted for the employees because you might have a great bargain.
When you first begin investing in the stock market, stick to a simple plan. It can certainly become tempting to try every new strategy you read about, and there are tons of "huge profit potential" plans out there, but new investors do best by choosing a basic strategy and sticking with it. In the grand scheme of things, you can save a lot of money.
Don't worry too much when it comes to the daily swings associated to the market when it goes up or down. Short term rises and dips are just normal volatility; worrying about them will not help your strategy. Remember, you should be investing for the long term, so try to stay calm.
Stock Market
Finding and attending a local seminar on stock market investing might be a good idea if you are starting your investment career with minimal stock market knowledge. The fees are often modest, and the information is provided by knowledgeable experts who can help you to reach your stock investing goals.
It is important to know exactly what fees you will be charged when choosing an investment broker. Look for exiting as well as entry fees. You will be surprised at how fast these can add up over time.
Instead of buying a few costly stocks, try buying more affordable ones. These stocks are a lot easier to manage and sell. The pressure you feel won't be as overwhelming when you decide it is time to actually sell your stock.
Try an online broker if you can do your own research. Online brokers cost much less than regular brokers, so if you are comfortable doing your own research, give online trading a shot. Since your target is to make cash, having the lowest operating cost is always your best option.
Try and get stocks that will net better than 10% annually, otherwise, simpler index funds will outperform you. If the stock includes dividends you would simply add that percentage to the the growth rate percentage to determine the total likely return on the investment. A stock which yields two percent but has twelve percent earnings growth is significantly better than the dividend yield suggests.
Consider educating yourself about money and accounting. You don't need a formal education, but taking some classes to learn basic principals couldn't hurt. These principles will aid you in understanding how the stock market works and you will then be able to make wise decisions when it comes to purchasing and selling stocks. Warren Buffet recommends this kind of education, and it's a good idea to listen to him.
Stocks are a good way to bring in a secondary income stream. This won't happen unless you have some knowledge about the subject. You can be a stock market expert with the solid and effective tips in the article below.

College Hockey:Two New Programs, One Close Tie
St. Olaf, UWSP Coaches Share Special Bond, as Teams Meet in First-Ever Contests
Tom Osiecki has coached long enough to have plenty of encounters with former players and acquaintances over the years.
But none of those meetings have been quite like the matchup Osiecki will experience this weekend.
A longtime prep hockey coach in Minnesota, Osiecki will make his collegiate coaching debut Friday when he brings the St. Olaf women's hockey team into its first ever contest. And he'll be facing one of his former players when Jason Lesteberg also makes his collegiate coaching debut for the first-year program at Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
"Jason is a close member of our family," Osiecki said. "To see him like a colleague for the first time is really neat."
Lesteberg played three years of prep hockey at Burnsville (Minn.) High School from 1987-90 for Osiecki, who led Burnsville to two state titles and two runner-up finishes from 1983-87. In fact, Osiecki's son, Mark, was a former National Hockey League player and standout at Wisconsin, and currently coaches the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League.
"It will be exciting for me because he is somebody that I've taken a lot of my coaching philosophies from after playing for him," Lesteberg said. "He is somebody that everyone idolized and who caused a lot of players to get that urge to go into coaching."
But the story between the two goes far beyond their days on the ice in Burnsville.
Lesteberg has taken several family trips with the Osiecki family and has been best friends with Osiecki's son, Matt, since age 10. Osiecki and Lesteberg's father, Dennis, also coached their sons' 13-year old Babe Ruth baseball team to a state title. Osiecki was even Lesteberg's first football coach when he was 11.
"These situations are not that unusual in coaching," Osiecki said. "I've faced former players several times in my career, so this is not a first, but Jason is really close to my son Matt and our family so this will be extra special."
And it's not like the pair decided to open their coaching careers this way. The season-opening matchup was scheduled before Osiecki was even hired at St. Olaf.
"It's really ironic the way it all worked out," Osiecki said. "It will be very exciting for me, it's something I'm really looking forward to."
Osiecki says he knew Lesteberg has what it takes to be a coach since his playing days in Burnsville.
"He loved the game and got into it thoroughly, studying the game," Osiecki said. "He was always well beyond people in the depth of the game."
And on the other hand, Lesteberg credits his former coach as a major influence on his young career.
"After all the impact he's had on my hockey career, I guess it's only fitting to begin my coaching career against him," Lesteberg said. "It's very exciting and will always be a great memory."
