She writes about family, relationships, and the complexities of growing up during the segregation and desegregation era, where the strike at R.R. Moton High School, in Farmville, Virginia in 1951, led to the historic landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education.
She shares her personal sacrifices and accomplishments in her memoir that overflows with warmth and wit. She also shares the long journey she had starting a non-profit foster boys home in Baltimore, Maryland that she affectionately named Aunt Hattie's Place, and the challenges of opening a third eco-friendly home for boys in May 2010, in Sandy Spring, Maryland. You'll read how an ongoing series of personal setbacks brought on many stumbling blocks, yet she broke down barriers by becoming the first female vice president of Coppin State University.
Dr. Hattie N. Washington's Driven to Succeed: An Inspirational Memoir of Lessons Learned through Faith, Family and Favor is complete with historical photographs from the R.R. Moton Strike and personal photographs of her life. Her riveting story provides inspiration for generations to come.

"Documenting your day in a funky, fun, fine art way!"
My goal is to document your unique moments while also creating beautiful artistic pictures you will cherish forever!
I have photographed 100 weddings, and still look forward to every one! As a recent bride myself I truly understand the concerns and needs of my couples, and I treat each wedding I'm shooting as if they were my own wedding pictures. And not only are your photographs super important to me, but so is making sure your day runs as smoothly as possible so you don't have a worry in the world.
I currently shoot only about a dozen weddings a year to allow myself time to give my brides the full attention and high end service that I value myself on. This also allows me time to focus on my other photography passions - portraiture and fine art photography! I often develop long term relationships with my wedding clients which leads to lots of maternity, baby, and family photo shoot. A few times a year you can also find my fine art photography on display inside art galleries around the country. A few spots I have shown include San Francisco, Denver, and New Orleans.

Tuesday Sept 2, 2008
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The New Orleans Saints will be on their home
turf for Sunday's season-opener. Forced to flee to Indianapolis ahead of Hurricane Gustav, the Saints announced today they'll be able to open their season as scheduled against Tampa Bay at the Louisiana Superdome.
A spokesman for the company that owns the stadium says the
state-owned Superdome suffered only minor damage from the storm:
ripped exterior signs, downed fences and light poles blown over.
However, there's power in the area and no interior damage. Saints GM Mickey Loomis says the team will continue practicing in Indianapolis and return to New Orleans Friday.

If Tony Pike sucks then Clausen doesn't have competition. Clausen needs competition. If the Panthers are not sold on Tony Pike being good competition for starter, then I believe we will draft a QB #1 overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ram Leela's Deepika Padukone And Ranveer Singh Leave Media Wanting More
While we are looking forward to an epic love story from Ram Leela, the lead actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are currently busy promoting this film. On Monday, November 5, the lead actors attended a conference organised by Radio Mirchi and addressed the reporters about their latest film which is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. They kept their answers light and yet spoke things that made sense, the media just wanted to hear more and more from the this rumored couple.
The two answered a number of questions put forward by the media and sure did their bit in promoting one of the much awaited movies of the year. The media were firing back-to-back questions at this new on-screen couple and yet the two managed to keep calm and even gave some answers that left everyone in splits. Deepika and Ranveer were both very natural and spoke spontaneously.
It's an irony that Ranveer was speaking against the idea of film promotions as he was promoting Ram Leela. He hoped that some day in future, this concept of 'promoting a film' vanishes and instead wished that people focused more on-the-sets and on their actual work.
Deepika Padukone talked about the songs from the film and clarified that 'Ishqyaun Dhishqyaun' is not a promotional number and in fact it is actually inspired by Govinda's work from the past. The actress went to even talk about how difficult it was shoot for a few sequences in the film. She told us that the heavy earrings that she wore tore her ear lobes and the intense dance steps riiped her skin from her feet.

From 1 July 2013\, the Groninger Museum will display three p ortraits of the Groningen resistance fighter Anda Kerkhoven. Anda Kerkhoven (1919- 1945) grew up in Indonesia as the daughter of a wealthy tea plantat ion owner. She was a woman of principle in many matters\, as well as a conv inced pacifist. The Medical School in Batavia (now Jakarta) could not accom modate her objections against vivisection. Groningen University was willing to accept conscientious objectors with regard to this principle\, and Anda was able to take up student life in Groningen in 1938.\n
However\, t
his life was soon plunged into disorder with the Nazi occupation of 1940. A
nda Kerkhoven became active in the resistance\, in the &lsquo\;De Groot&rsq
uo\; group. She was arrested by the Sicherheitsdienst (the German secret se
rvices) on 27 December 1944. However\, she withstood severe interrogation a
nd torture in the Scholtenshuis (German headquarters in Groningen at the ti
me) on the Grote Markt\, without revealing significant information. In addi
tion\, with her steadfastness she managed to encourage and console her fell
ow prisoners. In the night of 19 March 1945\, along with resistance fighter
Gerrit J. Boekhoven\, she was executed and buried by two NSB officers near
the Oosterbroekweg on the border between Haren and Glimmen. There had been
no trial.
Their grave was discovered after liberation. To great public attention\, Anda Kerkhoven was reburied in the Noorderbegraafplaats \, and her remains were finally transferred to the Loenen fields of honour near Apeldoorn in 1967.
Anda Kerkhoven was interested in art\, h ad a creative nature\, and posed for artists\, including Ploeg painter Joha n Dijkstra\, on several occasions. Unwittingly\, these portraits form a mon ument to this remarkable\, brave and gifted woman.

With his latest BRG exhibition\, &ldquo\;Sharp/Blunt\,&rdquo \; Scott Finch uses two different mediums to tell different parts of the sa me story over and over again in different ways. The first\, works created u sing china markers and paper\, see the artist channel intuitive urges with the artist intentionally snuffing out temptations to fall back on well-worn ideas. The second style observed in this single body of work results from the artist&rsquo\;s use of scratchboards where he has layered imagery produ ced by gouging the india ink surface of a prepared board. Here\, textures a nd volumes appeal to the tactile cravings of the viewer&rsquo\;s eye. As Fi nch puts it\, &ldquo\;This appears to be two bodies of work\, but it isn&rs quo\;t. This is one vision filtered through two different processes as the spirit moves. The pendulum swings to extremes but it remains tethered to th e same center all the time.&rdquo\;  \;\n

&ldquo\;Occupants Test Prints\,&rdquo\; John Harlan Norris&r squo\; third BRG exhibition\, continues his examination of professional por traiture\, but sees him introduce colorful mixed-media prints to his series of oil-on-canvas paintings for the first time. Norris finds inspiration in the ways we allow the roles we play in our daily lives to define us. Wheth er pursuing leisure\, prosperity or social status\, we assume identities th at both define us and fail to define us. With his work\, Norris delves into the possibilities and limitations of our occupations at a time when we fre quently change jobs\, balance multiple roles and cannot easily delineate be tween public and private life. &ldquo\;The works concentrate on tools\, uni forms\, ephemera and other signifiers that both define the [subject&rsquo\; s] roles and obscure their identifying qualities\,&rdquo\; says Norris.&nbs p\;\n

Bau-Xi Vancouver is delighted to exhibit the latest work fro m Vancouver artist Bobbie Burgers. This series\, entitled Alchemy will be o n display from Sept 13th to Sept 26th\, 2013.\n
There are many laws of alchemy\, but the first and most important one is t he fact that everything has life and every life is part of something.\n
Fo r painter Bobbie Burgers the lifecycle\, beauty and existence of flora and fauna in the natural world are nothing short of magical. Likewise\, the pro cess of painting- mixing colours and integrating light and shadow\, also cr eate endless mysterious and unpredictable results.\n
To Burgers\, this idea is liberating. &ldquo\;When you look at all the wondrous things h appening around us\, like seeds and water and soil creating a flower\, I th ink anything can happen.&rdquo\; In Alchemy\, she explores how nature incorporates light and shadows to form new colours. She executes this into brilliant yellows and sage greens in her paintings of Okanagan hills and lush floral arrangements. p>\n
Like the alchemical process\, painting also is an ancient technique\, obs erves Burgers. &ldquo\;Alchemists dreamt of transforming base metals into g old. I dream of turning paint into happiness.&rdquo\; Burgers&rsquo\; hope is to provoke memories and transport the viewer to the sights and scents of summer. &ldquo\;I wanted these works to bottle up the essence of summer\, to keep the warm - the soft breeze\, the smell of dry grasses\, the feel of sandy feet - all in a small little vial to be worn around ones neck during the long nights of winter. There to be uncorked and deeply inhaled every n ow and then.&rdquo\;\n

126 is delighted to present new work OVERLAND | THE ONGOING by Tim Acheson (Ireland) and Winnie Pun (Hong Kong).\n
Tim Acheson's new work deals with the duality of a sense of perspective. \;Although w e observe our surrounding landscape we are simultaneously in a landscape of memory  \;and outside references. The work looks at the simultaneous n ature of seeing and memory\, perspective and location. \;\n
Tim A cheson is a visual artist based in Galway City. His practice\, consisting o f object making\, video and field recording\, deals with the human aspect a nd reaction to the physical landscape. He is currently a member of Engage S tudios.\n
Winnie Pun's work encourages active looking. Seeing is alwa ys in motion within each image\, and each image portrays a mechanism of see ing that can be continued in other work\, and in other mediums. It is not h er intention to create photographic paintings or photographic images that r esemble paintings as such. The banality of subject matter is non-narrative\ , but has the intention to slow down viewer&rsquo\;s perception. The indire ctness induces an ambiguous moment where the mechanism of seeing and the na ture of representation can be confronted.\n
Winnie received her Bache lor of Fine Art Degree from GMIT in 2011. Her work has been selected for va rious exhibitions including RDS Student Awards (2010)\, Eigse Carlow Arts F estival (2012) and Osage Gallery\, Hong Kong (2013).

The distinctive romantic\, sometimes grotesque\, paintings\, focus on Dord&rsquo\;s underlying longing\, (one that a large section of modern s ociety shares)\, for a return to our original harmonious bond with nature.< br />The artist views the loss of connection as linked to the way Western c ultures devalue their unconscious and subliminal perceptions as they increa singly focus on materialism and profit - unlike many ancient and Eastern so cieties which embrace natural cycles and differing levels of consciousness within their traditions and everyday way of life.
While Dord Burrough works within the conventional genres of portraiture\, still life and landsc ape\, they are accessed through a psychedelic lens. The lushly impasto and ostensibly figurative paintings are not truly representational but are spec ulative and introspective visions of her relationship and self identificati on with nature\, approached through the experience of meditative states.
There is a history of liminal states as vehicles in the creation of art\ ; of artists and poets who make visual the memories from altered states and levels of perception. Notable among them is the Romantic poet\, Samuel Tay lor Coleridge who in the late eighteenth century took opium as a dysentery cure at Ash Farm in Devon\, unwittingly unleashing his unconscious with a p lant extract as a conduit to an inner world and conceiving of the epic poem Kubla Khan and the pleasure dome of Xanadu.
The landscapes of Dord Bu rrough unfold with a latter day Flora or Ophelia\, embedded in a voluptuous confection of plant life\, who revels\, almost wallows\, in the abundance of nature in the bucolic painting Am Ende der Wald [at the end of the fores t]. The artist embraces the characteristics of cacti in Cactus heart\; euph oric floral lollipop explosions suggestive of the hallucinogenic and medici nal allure of cactus juice sit atop spiny\, prickly stems signalling &ldquo \;danger\, don&rsquo\;t touch&rsquo\;. A sense of total immersion and raptu rous surrender characterises Bathing in the forest with birds\, an exultant painted paean to being at one with nature in an idyllic floral cosmos.
The portraits are gestural and &lsquo\;organic&rsquo\; in style\, many wr eathed in garlands and evocative of myths\, nymphs\, satyrs and cultural ri tes. The still life genre introduces the dark side in both palette and sent iment. Indoor plant dreaming about the outside world depicts a neglected de siccated plant\, constricted and parched deprived of light and its outdoor environment.
A different level of consciousness\, an escapist\, somnol ent valerian induced blissful torpor is invoked in the lavender hues of the text based painting\, Sleep. In contrast is the rude awakening of I though t I would be young forever fuck\, signalling our complacency in the face of the inevitable life cycle of bloom and droop.
Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Art degree majoring in Painting from Queensland College o f Art in 2008\, Dord Burrough has lived and exhibited in Germany and Austra lia\, including &lsquo\;Test Pattern&rsquo\; at Ryan Renshaw Gallery in 201 2. She was a finalist in &lsquo\;The Churchie National Emerging Art Prize i n 2011 and 2012 and was recently artist in residence at Level Gallery in Br isbane from April to June 2013\, concluding with an exhibition\, The Howlin g Unknown.
Dord Burrough is a contemplative and experimental artist wh o seeks ways to make visual her personal and the collective dilemma of our increasing alienation from the natural world and the innate self.
Artereal Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition ME DUSA 0.1\, by sound artist Robin McCarthy. McCarthy&rsquo\;s predomina ntly theatre based practice has incorporated sound design\, installation an d original score for numerous international theatre companies\, festivals a nd recordings. For the first time in Australia\, McCarthy will exhibit MESDUSA 0.1 in a gallery setting.\n
In MEDUSA 0.1\, the artist presents a soundscape of a post apocalyptic time\, told through a s eries of audio tubes distributed in the project space. For much of the perf ormance a number of these tubes remain silent\, only sporadically contribut ing to the harmonising chorus of the narrative\, stemming from a central hu b\, or &lsquo\;black box&rsquo\; &ndash\; a record or history of McCarthy&r squo\;s subterranean staging. These portholes guide the viewer into the art ist&rsquo\;s fractured narrative of environments\, or perhaps more appropri ately\, scenes. These are most certainly linked to the product of image mak ing\, an exercise of the aural molding and seducing ones comprehension (and wonder) of a world existing outside our own. \; These audio cues creat e story\, or an aura\, one difficult to alienate from the desire to attach imagery. It is here that McCarthy employs his open narrative to great effec t.\n
In two particular scenes\, McCarthy presents the listener with a space of industrial workings\, the mechanized\, repetitive movements of he avy machinery that shake and dominate these soundscape. This in turn is con trasted with a lobby\, where elevator music and melodic tunes are interrupt ed by uncanny intermissions and jarring\, which suggest that the world we a re eavesdropping upon contains an underbelly of acute distaste and lurking menace. It is the intersection of these types of scenes that elevate a sens e of tension in McCarthy&rsquo\;s work. These disjointed moments and places seem to seamlessly break and join again\, to collide\, intersect and inter fere with one another\, their opposing existence propping each other up.\n
The psycho-narrative and sci-fi tone of McCarthy&rsquo\;s MEDUSA 0.1\, along with the fracturing of its soundscapes can be linked to th e cinematic works of David Lynch or Chris Marker&rsquo\;s La Jeté \;e. Here one can see the influence of such work on the psyche\, its e volution\, susceptibility and control of our recognition and experience of reality- where narrative impacts the psychological state and vice versa. Ho wever\, while this may be accurate in the stylistic tone of MEDUSA 0.1< /em>\, the influence of 80&rsquo\;s and 90&rsquo\;s indie film of McCarthy& rsquo\;s generation should not be overlooked. The intersection of narrative and social structures in films such as Harmony Korine&rsquo\;s Gummo em> and Richard Linklater&rsquo\;s Slacker\, where the audience is presented with pieces\, or fragments of a social sphere\, where the overar ching tone is developed not by a linear narrative\, but by placing together the ingredients of a &lsquo\;place&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;time&rsquo\; and all owing them to speak for themselves by painting a picture of the &lsquo\;gre ater&rsquo\; environment\, not just a singular beginning and end of an indi vidual story. This same technique is employed in MEDUSA 0.1\, wher e the audience and listener navigates only the peepholes to a world where c haracters are never properly introduced\, formulating their own structures\ , hierarchies and reasoning.\n
Robin McCarthy is a sound designer\, c omposer and creator. He has been sound designer for The Sydney Theatre Comp any\, NIDA and Autograph\, London. McCarthy has collaborated with artists a nd musicians as well as filmmakers\, where he created the sound design to t he animated short Gristle winner of the Melbourne International An imation Festival (2012) as well as being part of the official selection for numerous Australian and International film festivals.\n

Two equine works by Ruston\, La.\, artist Hooshang Khorasani will be exhibited in Massachusetts at an invitational show that is connect ed to the book "True Grit."\n
"Equine Allure" and "In Flight" will be part of the "Horse Sense" show at Attleboro (Mass.) Arts M useum from Sept. 20-28.\n
The exhibit complements the city of Attleboro's annual summer reading initiative\, The Big Read/Attleb oro's 1ABC (1 Adventure\, 1 Book\, 1 Community)\, which is funded by the Na tional Endowment for the Arts. This year's book selection is "True Grit\," a much-loved American classic with a dynamic frontier story\, legendary cha racters and complex adventures. The program encourages the community to rea d a selected book at the same time and for readers to expand their connecti on to the book through related arts and cultural programs.\n
 \;< /p>\n
"Horse Sense" features more than 30 works from 15 artists and honor s the strength\, impact\, companionship and powerful work of the horse.\n
Throughout "True Grit\," the reader finds several exam ples of the symbiotic relationship between a character in the novel and his or her horse. In more than one instance\, the life and well-being of each depends on the other. Horses are portrayed as the working partners of the m ain characters\, but author Charles Portis also vividly demonstrates a pure and simple bond that cannot be ignored. One memorable example is protagoni st Mattie's relationship with her horse\, Little Blackie\, and her relentle ss search for her father's murderer &ndash\; and his lost horse\, Judy.\n
A Sept. 21 reception will open with cowboy violin musi c\, followed by a ceremony to kick off Attleboro's reading of "True Grit." Additionally\, representatives from a therapeutic riding center will discus s how such riding uses the magnetic bond between people and horses to teach such skills as listening\, balance\, motor control\, and a variety of othe r attributes that help people promote independence and self-confidence.\n
Hooshang's paintings are 30-by-40-inch acrylics on can vas.\n

Chaos meets Order. This is the root premise of my current st
udio explorations.
These drawings and \;sculptures illustrate a p rocess of dissecting the exacting
language of architectural space wit h conceptual \;reanalysis and physical agitation.
T he house form represents a perfect\, stable structural icon. It acts as a universal memory \;of home. \;The perfection is slowly disrupt ed and worn by its
function as vessel for living. \;Eventually\, time takes its toll\, along with acts of nature\,
to weaken the struc ture. Its final demise\, \;brought \;on by disaster\, development\,
or rotting neglect\, will permanently disrupt the perfection of the house
and leave a dynamic reorganization of its geometry.
All t hat is left of the disrupted structure is the \;footprint hinting at th e perfection
that once was. \;The energy behind this disruption o f order is what I am attempting to convey.
The floor pl an has been a reoccurring image in my work. It is the first instrument of f unctional
organization before a structure is built. It is the footpri nt left behind when the structure is gone.
It creates volume with a f ew simple lines. It contains and releases space with the interplay
be tween \;mass and void. It acts as a structural grid for the chaotic pro cess of living. In the end\,
the floor plan is a snapshot into the li ves of the people who have inhabited it.
CAM museum caged\; gates become exposition space for the solidly behind protest of 18 Neapolitan artists.\n
A long cage
has been issued before CAM museum after recent news events\; from June the
28th 2013 on the gratings are hanging the works of 18 Neapolitan artists\,
inspired by Casoria museum adventures and realized as solidly behind to CA
M cultural campaign.
On June the 28th at 7.30 pm CAM museum opens to WellCAM_Welcome to the politically uncorrect museum.
Eight years after\, the most rumoured museum in Europe is still open and its act ivity lively even though\, like a caged lion\, its entrance appears closed up in a metal fencing bringing the visitor to the museum path but dividing him from the rest of the world. That cage\, from June the 28th\, is becomin g an exposition space\, an open door to art\, bringing works out with its a rms open wide to the road. Hanging on the gratings are the works 18 Neapoli tan artists realized as solidly behind the cultural resistance of CAM as in spired by the Casoria museum adventures.
From racism to corrupted pol itics\, from violence to camorra\, the story of the museum is involved in t he social meaning of art.
Its story mixes perseverance and dedication \, provocation and reflection\, a difficult pathway for a space on a degrad ed province\, which has become a reference and a symbol for those supportin g culture notwithstanding the "arduous" place. Local and international situ ation hinted a thread to the artistic agenda of CAM. This inquiry through a news-based art has been many times unwelcome to criminal organizations and toupper politics spheres.
With this exhibition CAM wants to celebrat e\, with those ones who supported it\, eight years commitment for culture a nd its vigour notwithstanding uncountless adversities.
La galerí\;a Fú\;cares_Almagro se complace en pr esentar la segunda exposició\;n individual de Roberto Infantes (Daimi el\, 1981).\n
En la nueva serie que Roberto Infantes nos presenta en esta exposició\;n\, nos encontramos con paisajes urbanos y paisajes d e su tierra\, La Mancha\, desarrollados a partir de fotografí\;as en color de aquello que ve\, sin modificar\, pero con el añ\;adido de la pintura o la superposició\;n del collage.\n
Lo que el artista pretende es generar otra realidad\, su realidad\, su ficció\;n...\, a quello que no es\, que no llegará\; a ser\, pero que nunca va ha sabe r\, realmente\, có\;mo es.\n
El trá\;nsito que supone ir desde lo urbano a lo rural\, es una suerte de nomadismo en busca del lugar ideal. A veces\, la invasió\;n del hormigó\;n de las nuevas con strucciones\, se funden con el paisaje desde la contradicció\;n que d estruye cualquier posibilismo esté\;tico.\n
En los actuales tra bajos de Roberto Infantes\, la pintura se superpone espacialmente a la foto grafí\;a a travé\;s de la plancha de metacrilato que forman par te de la propia obra. Es ahí\; donde\, como una ensoñ\;aci&oacu te\;n\, la pintura acentú\;a el devenir del paisaje con el paso del t iempo.\n
Las insistentes lí\;neas verticales y horizontales que definí\;an espacios\, han desaparecido de las obras de Infantes\; si n embargo\, el repertorio formal de sus actuales trabajos se sirve de trozo s de madera\, hilos\, elementos vegetales...\, cuyo resultado son met&aacut e\;foras establecidas a partir de edificaciones ficticias que está\;n contenidas en la propia imagen. Estas obras\, tiene una relació\;n c on los espacios teatrales en los que se desarrolla una tridimensionalidad q ue posiblemente va a generar el desarrollo de un universo propio.DTEND:20130928 DTSTAMP:20160829T205228 DTSTART:20130706 GEO:38.8868916;-3.7105821 LOCATION:Galeria Fúcares (Almagro)\,San Francisco\, 3 \nALMAGRO\, 13270 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY: "Horizontes"\, Roberto Infantes UID:285253 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTEND:20130706T200000 DTSTAMP:20160829T205228 DTSTART:20130706T180000 GEO:38.8868916;-3.7105821 LOCATION:Galeria Fúcares (Almagro)\,San Francisco\, 3 \nALMAGRO\, 13270 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY: "Horizontes"\, Roberto Infantes UID:285254 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:
A group show of historic and recent paintings\, weavings and works on paper. Featuring Philip Gudthaykudthay\, Bobby Bununggurr\, Robyn Djunginy\, Peter Minygululu\, Charlie Djurritjini\, Linda Namiyal Bopirri Nanuyal\, Julie Malibirr Djulibing\, Dorothy Djukulul\, plus Judy Baypungal a (dec) and Dr David Malangi (dec).\n
Goyurr \;is a word that brings a smile to people&rsquo\;s faces in Ramingining. Bobby Bunungg urr described it to Ben Wallace\, Bula&rsquo\;bula&rsquo\;s curator\, as "I am ready to go"\, or "I am willing to go"\, or "where they are going". It is the ideal word\, then\, to convey the spirit of these amazing artists th at has sustained them and their art practice over the past forty years.\n
During the time Bula&rsquo\;bula Arts has been operating in Raminginin g\, central Arnhem Land\, it has gathered a substantial history\, along wit h international recognition. It can also lay claim to some of the most sign ificant artists Australia has produced\, such as Philip Gudthaykudthay and Dr David Malangi. Bula&rsquo\;bula&rsquo\;s artists have become highly rega rded for their superb art across various media including fibre\, painting\, barks\, works on paper\, and Dupun (hollow log coffins or poles).\n
This exhibition of carefully selected works from the late 1990s draws from each of the Bula&rsquo\;bula&rsquo\;s artforms. While not exhaustive in its scope\, the exhibition aims to give the viewer an impression of the divers e talent across time that inhabits Ramingining.\n
It is indicative of Bula&rsquo\;bula&rsquo\;s achievements that its artists have regularly bee n included in significant exhibitions such as the ground-breaking exhibitio ns Aratjara and The Native Born\, both of which toured internationally in t he late 1990s and early 2000s. The stage was set early for Ramingining&rsqu o\;s rise when in 1984 Djon Mundine\, the then curator at Bula&rsquo\;bula Arts\, curated an exhibition of their work at the Power Gallery (now the Mu seum of Contemporary Art). Even more extraordinary was that this exhibition was acquired in its entirety by the Power Gallery. Given that the focus of the Gallery was on contemporary art\, this was seen as a radical move at t he time. Previously\, Indigenous art from remote regions was the province o f ethnographic museums.\n
Through the decades\, Bula'bula's artists h ave remained true to their culture and sense of purpose. Their works are no t mindless repetitions of tired\, but popular\, designs aimed at satisfying a broad market\; they are deeply felt\, considered assertions of identity and sovereignty\, interwoven with the significant historical memories and p olitics that have shaped their lives over the centuries. Each work created is a step towards maintaining their cultural foundations and paving the way forward for their descendants.DTEND:20130928 DTSTAMP:20160829T205228 DTSTART:20130903 GEO:49.6120656;6.1289149 LOCATION:Galerie Zadra\,Grand Rue \nLuxembourg\, SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:Goyurr.

Galleri Christoffer Egelund proudly presents the site specif
ic installation Human Desires by the Danish artist Louise Hindsgavl (b. 197
Anthropomorphic frogs with feathery wings and their friends occupy the project room at Galleri Christoffer Egelund from Friday\, Augus t the 30th. The series Human Desires consists of hovering nightmare tableau s in porcelain displaying human lust and desire - the forbidden kind. The b estial side of man has taken over\, and this is evident as the porcelain fi gurines are composed of equal parts human and animal. In one of the mobiles a player with a cow&rsquo\;s head is conducting female genital surgery on herself\, grinning\, apparently unaffected by the circumstances (Human Desi res #7). The artist emphasizes the absurdity of such a voluntary cosmetic o peration particularly if you consider its evil twin: involuntary female cir cumcision\, also known as Female Genital Mutilation\, often seen in parts o f Africa and The Middle East. In another part of the room we are confronted with the remnants of a playhouse after a bombing raid. This is a case of v engefulness where innocence was ignored.
As always\, in the narr ative universes of Louise Hindsgavl we are lured in by the beautiful\, seem ingly innocent\, porcelain and then in for a thought-provoking shock when t he traditional shepherd girl grows animal limbs and conducts cosmetic genit al surgery.
Louise Hindsgavl graduated from Designskolen\, Kold ing\, DK\, in 1999 and has exhibited widely in Denmark\, Europe\, the US an d Asia since her graduation. She is represented in major collections worldw ide including: National Museum Stockholm\, Sweden\; Victoria and Albert Mus eum London\, UK\; Minneapolis Institute of Arts\, MIA\, USA\; Carlsberg Art Fondation\, DK\; The The Rö\;hsska Museum\, Gothenburg\, SE\; Designmu seum\, Copenhagen\, DK\; Trapholt\, Kolding\, DK\; ASU Art Museum\, Arizona \, USA etc. Furthermore\, among others\, she has received: The Danish Art F oundation work grant of 3 years (2010)\, Silkeborg artist grant (2010)\, Th e Danish Art Foundation grant (2008\, 2006\, 2004) and The Biennale Award\, The Biennale of Arts and Craft and Design (2004).

This is a beautifully written heartfelt story that I made the mistake of starting just before I went to bed. Needless to say it ended up being a very late night. I love a story that I really don't want to put down and this was definatly one of those.

Secret Santa by Kristine Cheney
This was a short story I picked up because of the authors self-promotion. I don't think I would have bought it otherwise. Secret Santa is the story of Holly Gordon who loves Christmas and playing Secret Santa for some of the folks around town. It is in this capacity that Holly meets Marcus Jenner. Who makes Scrooge look like a softy. The reason I don't usually get books like this is because they have an unfortunate tendency to be either too saccharine or too maudlin. I must commend Ms. Cheney as this story while being sweet and sentimental never crossed the line.

Have the tissues ready for this one !! Kristine Cheney has tugged at every possible heart string possible in this read. Its filled with passion and a love story that will not only have you bawling your eyes out but your heart doing sommersaults one moments and other moments feel like it was going to leave your chest.
Secret santa is a well delivered intense and emotional read, that will not only tug at your soul but have your heart missing a few beats. The passion bewtween Marcus and Holly was beautifully crafted, passionate and ** swoony..** waggles eyebrows !!
The storyline was amazing, I was drawn in from the very first pages, and found myself, giggling at the funny antics aka Holly's persistance was amusing and quiet funny at times. Other moments I was wiping the tears away, trying to solider on. A fluent flowing storyline that will only stop you reading to wipe aside the tears - I can guarantee you will read right till the end.
A wonderful array of characters that Im sure you will enjoy, a heartfelt storyline with emotions that are so well portrayed its like poetry. Kristine always portrays her characters emotions so fluently ..... giving us depth into there thoughts and actions and feelings. Her descriptions are well envisaged you can see every detail.
Secret Santa deliver us Holly she has been chosen to be the Secret santa for Marcus Jenner. Marcus prooves to be quiet a handful, not wanting the gifts Holly is leaving, he finds himself torn between the blonde eye beauty and her quest to deliver him gifts. Unbeknown as to why she is gifting him and stalking him - He is not sure if its the calling of his heart that bothers him most, or the persistance of her gifts, but in time he finds his secret santa is needing the most treasured gift of all.
Secret santa is immensely appealing and will linger in your heart long after you've read it. Lose your heart to a magical christmas tale that shows the true beauty of giving but also receiving and the most prescious gift of all. Love and life.

Lessons Robin Williams Taught Us About Life & Love
Posted August 12th, 2014 @ 8:22am
Robin Williams will be missed dearly, but he will live on through the characters he has played. My favorite Robin Williams movie is "The Birdcage" and when Armand says to Albert "You do an eclectic celebration of the dance! You do Fosse, Fosse, Fosse! You do Martha Graham, Martha Graham, Martha Graham! Or Twyla, Twyla, Twyla! Or Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd, Michael Kidd! Or Madonna, Madonna, Madonna!... but you keep it all inside." has to be one the greatest lines in a movie of all time.

Settlement approved in Fort LeBoeuf school bus stop death
A $350,000 settlement has been reached in the 2011 fatal accident that claimed the life of 13-year-old Ashley Clark at a Fort LeBoeuf School District school bus stop.
Under the terms of an agreement recently filed in Erie County Orphan's Court Division, the insurance company for the school district has agreed to pay $325,000 to settle any potential liability claims against the district arising from Clark's Dec. 20, 2011 death on Route 97.
The insurance company for Tyler Festa, the 20-year-old driver whose vehicle struck and killed Clark, meanwhile, has agreed to pay an additional $25,000, which according to court records is Festa's insurance policy limits.
Of the proceeds, $226,954.51, will be paid to Clark's estate, which is administered by her mother, Jennifer Gryzwinski. That amount will be split between Gryzwinski and Clark's father, Chris Clark, the settlement states.
Erie lawyer Rick Filippi, who represented the Clark family, will receive $116,550 in fees and $6,495.49 in costs.
