Are you searching for the best web traffic secrets? You might all understand regarding these strategies in some sense although let us check out the 3 most trustworthy and economical techniques to increase online traffic to your internet site in good time.
Being a website developer, I understand how to make an enticing and useful internet site that's worth more than just the price charged to the client. If I did not believe it was not adding worth, I would not hassle making an attempt to sell it. I soon came to the conclusion that constructing the internet site was merely half of the challenging experience for my consumers, and acquiring traffic was the next one.
Consequently exactly what are the best web traffic techniques? The three main techniques that we will discuss are paying for online traffic, posting an email to your mailing listing (that on its own takes some time to make) and finally to joint venture with another internet site owner. This indicates they forward you traffic, and you share profits with them 50:50. You may utilize software to trace the quantity of hits made from their mailouts.
1. By purchasing web traffic, you may zero in on the individuals already searching for your particular product. The largest player in this case is Google. For those people new to this business, at any time you carry out a Google search, the listings that appear on the right hand side might be purchased by anybody.
You pay 5 cents and above for every click. You may obtain traffic showing up to your internet site 5 minutes following puting in place a Google Adwords account. Other different search engines additionally provide this 'pay-per-click' (Pay per click) service. The subsequent step after paying for web traffic is to observe results. You may track the volume of website hits from numerous sources to concentrate on those people that are creating sales.2. Emailing a listing is the following technique that starts to become your most beneficial asset after some time. There aren't any costs and you may produce a massive rush of sales on every occasion you forward an email. In a prior article I stated that a signup ought to be between 10 and 20%.
That's the ratio of web site visitors you may expect to enroll to a mailing list. By having autoresponders, you may bring in these particular web site visitors back to your internet site again. There is an excellent opportunity they will purchase the next time around. If they leave, you may forward them yet another email to make a request that they return and encourage them keep on coming back till they ultimately purchase.
Having knowledge of how frequently to forward emails to your listing is in addition critical. The crucial point here is to add worth and dispatch consistent free content. In between asking them to purchase something, dispatch something free that's valuable. Usually, weekly is a proper time period between emails, or more frequently dependent on your particular market. A certain amount of individuals forward emails three times each day and it works well for them although this is what works well for me so's the the most valuable knowledge I can provide.3. Joint Venture.The plan is straightforward, other internet sites dispatch out emails and place strategic links on their internet site to draw in visitors to your particular website. You merely pay them for the sales made from any clicks. Typically 50% of the profits is the most beneficial for the reason that it is a half share. The key factor here is to make it as straightforward as you can for your particular JV partner.
Produce emails for them, banner advertisements and the other marketing material which will assist them. JV deals permit you to make a large amount of web traffic to your website in a brief length of time and for you to create your mailing lists extremely rapidly. You may receive JV support from all of the established firms in the sphere you want to go into if you approach them in the correct manner.
Receiving traffic is not as clear-cut as a lot of people think when they come into the internet domain. Even paying out for online traffic has its traps and it is conceivable to buy a huge amount of traffic that just does not transform into sales. Nonetheless if you pay attention to the web traffic strategies detailed above and learn to perform them in the correct way you ought to be on the right road.

The Breeders' Cup Juvenile will likely decide the divisional championship and pits the East Coast's overwhelming star, Shanghai Bobby, against local hero Power Broker and several exciting 2yos from the West Coast ranks.
Six of the seven past Juvenile winners received the Eclipse Award as champion, but a big upset could remove the sense of inevitability and keep the ball in the court of the unbeaten Shanghai Bobby, an impressive winner of New York's two most prestigious races for 2yos, the Champagne and Hopeful Stakes. That happened at Santa Anita in 2009 when 30-1 longshot Vale of York prevailed over eventual champion Lookin At Lucky.
The Juvenile also plays a key role in determining the early Kentucky Derby favorite.
Shanghai Bobby invades from Belmont Park for leading trainer Todd Pletcher and will keep Rosie Napravnik in the saddle. He likes to race close to the pace with his speed and his BRIS numbers, including a pair of 103 Speed ratings, are the best in the Juvenile field.
This will be the first Juvenile contested without Lasix and the number of entrants is down to nine after seven straight years with at least 10 runners. Compounding the matter is the fact that owners/trainers have continued to race their horses with Lasix despite they change in routine they possibly faced in the future; eight of the nine contestants will be making their first start without the medication.
Most bettors will rely on a dose of faith that Lasix turns out to be a non-factor.
Fortify is the only participant to race without Lasix, making three starts so far for Kiaran McLaughlin, and could attract support based on that fact alone. But Fortify will have to significantly step up his game to challenge after a pair of non-threatening placings in the Hopeful and Champagne.
Power Broker should compete for favoritism off his dynamic victory in the local prep race, the September 29 FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita. That was the for the first dirt start for the well-bred son of Pulpit, who recorded respectable efforts while never winning on Polytrack and turf at Del Mar, and Power Broker is a threat to keep moving forward in the hands of Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, a two-time Juvenile winner ('08 and '02). The chestnut colt possesses excellent tactical speed as well as leading Southern California jockey Rafael Bejarano.
Baffert could also be well-represented by Title Contender, a good-looking maiden winner going two turns at Santa Anita in his first dirt start September 20. He figures to show speed for sure and received a commendable 100 BRIS Speed rating last time. Title Contender is highly-regarded by many observers.
Capo Bastone isn't considered a serious win threat -- he is a closer on a Santa Anita track that has played speed-friendly all meet -- but the possibility of hot pace provides at least a puncher's chance to the fast-charging colt. Dynamic Sky, a Canadian-based colt who exits a runner-up in the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity on Keeneland's Polytrack, is another late runner in the speed-laden Juvenile field.
Speak Logistics, who exits a front-running stakes win in Florida, and California-bred stakes victor Monument will both be facing a steep class hike. He's Had Enough would be a huge surprise.
The numbers edge goes to California, with five runners compared to only two from New York, and locally-based horses have proven vastly superior at Santa Anita in the past, recording four wins and five seconds in the five previous Juveniles over the track ('86, '93, '03, '08 & '09). The lone exception, the aforementioned Vale of York, was an international shipper.
Shanghai Bobby and Power Broker remain the horses to beat in the Juvenile, and favoritism could swing either way between these extremely talented 2yos, but it's interesting to note that favorites have only won two of the last 13 runnings of the race.
Anticipation runs deep for what promises to be an excellent edition of the Juvenile.

Chicago Teachers v. Rahm Emanuel
Emanuel is a war criminal/corporate predator/ public education destroyer.
by Stephen Lendman
Except for Harold Washington (1983 - 1987), Chicago never had populist mayors. Father (Richard J.) and son (Richard M.) Daley ran the city like their private fiefdom for over 40 years.
In his book "Boss," noted journalist Mike Royko described Richard J. as follows:
"If ever a man reflected a city, it was Richard J. Daley." He was "strong (and) hard-driving." He had Texas-sized ambitions. He was also "arrogant, crude, conniving, ruthless, suspicious, intolerant, raucous, hot-tempered, devious, big and powerful." He was Chicago.
Time magazine said Richard M. "wield(ed) near-imperial power."
Current Mayor Rahm Emanuel matches them and then some. Add war criminal and corporate predator to his credentials. As White House chief of staff, he was part of Obama's war cabinet. As Chicago mayor, he's waging it against labor.
Candidate Emanuel promised draconian anti-worker cuts. Chicago's budget deficit must be attacked, he said. "No sacred cows" are tolerable, he stressed. "Tough choices" must be made.
As mayor, workers struggling to get by are targeted. Slash and burn is policy. Layoffs, wage freezes, and benefit cuts notably affecting healthcare and pensions followed. Teachers were hit hard.
After one month in office, he rescinded a contractual 4% raise owed them. Weeks later, he fired 1,000 summarily. School closings eliminate more jobs. He wants more closed, larger class sizes, longer school days at no extra pay, and other draconian measures creating greater hardships.
He wants Chicago schools privatized and made another business profit center. Richard M. began the process. Emanuel wants it completed. He wants education sacrificed for bottom line priorities.
He wants Chicago schools run by marketplace rules. He wants labor rights abolished. He put bureaucrats in charge of what's best for children. He created a two-tiered, class and income-based system. It favors affluent communities over poor ones.
Teachers have no rights. Poor kids are denied real education. Emanuel's destroying their futures. He's more tyrant than mayor. He reflects the worst of city governance.
On August 30, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) held perhaps its largest ever meeting. Hundreds attended. Presiding officers included president Karen Lewis, vice president Jesse Sharkey, financial secretary Kristine Mayle, and recording secretary Michael Brunson.

New Generation Refrigerator To Detect What's Missing In It
South Korean's Samsung Electronics plans to launch the device in 2008 or 2009 a new generation refrigerator, equipped with RFID, which detects when its contents are running low or approaching expiration dates, reports All Headlines News (via del.icio.us/konomi).
In addition to automatically sensing inventory needs such as when milk or juices run low, Samsung's refrigerator could even send a shopping list to its owner's cell phone or to the supermarket.
"We are working on refrigerators wired for RFID. Technologically speaking, there is no barrier to come up with the new items, " explained Samsung spokesman Chae Hee-kook. "The refrigerator will be able to connect to cell phones for various new-concept applications."
Moreover, the new generation device will also offer recipes using available food products.

Hi, my name is David Judd.
I was just introduced to your work by my sister Debbie Winn. I probably met you at one time at the Milton-Freewater First Christian Church when Debbie and Wes were there. My wife Vicki and I are interested in helping with your projected missions trip to Africa in 2012 that Debbie and Wes are involved with.
Please keep us posted on developments with regards to that trip. We either would like to go on it, or at least financially help towards it's success.
I met you both a few weeks ago at First Christian Church in Grants Pass, OR. I talked with you briefly regarding your mission and the trip to Africa in 2012. I am a basketball coach and am interested in helping this cause in many ways. Please keep me up to date with any information regarding the progress and the trip. Thank you.

Hello guys, you really became a blessing to the people of this village since you arrived here, just remembering the first days when you were digging the ground for the first building on a bare land. It's three years now and GOD has shown that he is The almighty for all the things that have been done on that ground. Keep this up and we will always be behind you.
Naomi & Loishiye Mollel
I am so amazed at how God has been working through this mission. Today it brought tears to my eyes to see the man that you helped get shoes for his club feet. Walking is something I take for granted and just seeing what some of these people struggle w/ daily and seeing God meet these needs along w/ spiritual needs is so humbling to me. Thank you for your faithfulness to God\\\'s Kingdom. You have been in my prayers!
I met you both in front of Aunties Book store in Spokane today. So enjoyed meeting you and will be following this mission work now.

Richard Tyler: Fathoms
Fathoms is of course a nautical unit of depth measurement. It is an appropriate moniker for this release. Four movements; "Fathoms" 21:38, "Deep Blue Circle" 20:41, "Shiny Stones On The Bottom" 16:55, and "Surface Becomes Earth" 14:28, each transport the listener from shoreline to the depths back up for air, then on to the submarine trenches, past unseen aquatic dimensions, and finally back up for air, to rest in sunlight and surf.
Tyler nods his recording head to Danna and Clément in using environmental sounds to set the scene. After surf and intermittent gull we descend beneath the surface to drift down on Peter Michael Hamel-ish or Klaus Schulze-ian, olde school, church organ-ish, endless dronings, Leslie-effected, warped, treated and done so well. Low-end, huge synth tones persist, Mid-range, Roach-like chimed tones randomly occur circa Structures from Silence's "Quiet Friend". This weave of sound is subdued, low-key, looped, erratic but restful in its effect, fade in to more surf sounds then another "descent".
Strange echoes come and go, wordless vox samples, (Spectrasonic's Symphony of Voices), create a sense of mermaids calling, leading the way to the depths. That rapping, a hollow echo depicts sound waves distorted by liquid, patterns of the above are random, relaxing as usual with Tyler, holding your attention for what may come next. Deep drones hold fast throughout, the sense of drifting down, floating into immense voids prevalent gestalt here. Whooshing sounds come late in the track, a mystery unfolding? But no, we are then carried to next track with no answers or clues.
A tubular, hollowed-out, drone-tone fades in. That tunnel-driven synth form oscillates slowly, descending into lower octaves. Background drones remain, grouped in patterns that hold pretty constant. Slight melodic pattern is followed by mid-range synths. A denser weave of multi-tracked dronings is present here. Most tone patterns descend with very little upper register wanderings. This automatically soothes and relaxes the brain, neurons firing less, serotonin levels creating mind-ease. A warbling, wave-like, water-effect distortion is evident here in drifting tones. Bubblings and odd echoes presage whale songs that are done better than most other cetacean recordings I have heard. It is tasteful, subdued, distant, and like being there within 100 feet of them versus standing near an aquarium view-tank with loud-speakers. Tyler achieves a dreamy aquatic realism. Whale songs soon pass and a short drone space similar to track intro becomes the outro. Fade out to final track.
As if it is now time to resurface wordless vox samples, (Spectrasonic's Symphony of Voices), again create a sense of mermaids saying farewell, you are leaving the depths. Sound forms used in track one return as if one is passing back through realms formerly traveled. The Peter Michael Hamel-ish keyboards come awarbling and expertly mutated by Tyler for the ascent. Mermaid vox comes and goes in that erratic pattern used so effectively earlier. Organ synths fade, ethereal voices continue to fade-out and the surf with gull cries signals journey's end. Fade out all sound.

Dove Says Craigslist Ad for Real Women Models Wasn't Approved
A recent Craigslist ad called for real women with "flawless skin" and "no scars."
A recent ad posted to Craigslist called for real non-model people for Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign. Only the company seemed to be looking for the most perfect real women they could get, who had "flawless skin" and "no scars." But in a statement, Dove says the casting call — which has since been taken down — wasn't "approved":
"Unfortunately, this casting notice was not approved by the brand or agency team and did not reflect the spirit of the brand team's vision. We appreciate that this has been brought to our attention, and we are taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future. We believe our images demonstrate that real beauty comes in many shapes, sizes, colors and ages and we remain committed to featuring realistic and attainable images of beauty in all our advertising."
They added that they have shot women with tattoos before, as this old Real Beauty ad clearly shows.

#3684 defect closed fixed (fixed)
HEAD-handling code corrupts the HTTP channel in some cases, is generally redundant and confused in others
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
branch-diff, diff-cov, branch-cov, buildbot
If an UnsupportedMethod exception is thrown for rendering a HEAD method, the default for Request.render (if GET is in allowedMethods) is to call render() again with the request mutated to have its method be GET. In some resources presumably this will return a body.
If the Resource's render_GET returns NOT_DONE_YET (i.e. defers writing its body to the channel), the body will actually be returned to the client, violating the RFC. If the method attribute were left as HEAD, then http.Request.write would enforce the no-data rule.
According to trial --coverage twisted.web, this code path is completely untested. It's not clear that it's even necessary, given that Resource.render_HEAD delegates to render_GET by default. (Or, vice versa.)
There's also more confused code at the end of server.Request.render that tries to specifically handle HEAD.

OK, so with this API, if you have allowedMethods = ["GET"], then even though you are telling us that you don't want to allow HEAD (for whatever reason), we're going to ignore you and allow it anyway.
This strikes me as strangely inconsistent/exceptional API, so that bothers me. What I would prefer is that if you say allowedMethods = ["GET", "HEAD"], but you don't implement the HEAD method, then we'll use your GET implementation to provide HEAD.
That is, we should do what you ask us to do, and not pretend that we know better.

Preference of dairy cows: indoors cubicle housing with access to a total mixed ration vs. pasture.
A study was conducted to determine the preference of dairy cows to be indoors or on pasture, and to establish the factors that influenced their decision.
Year of Publication2011
Cattle are grazing animals so it is generally assumed that pasture is a welfare friendly system as it is natural and allows the expression of normal behaviour, which may be restricted indoors. However, high yielding dairy cows may not be able to fulfil their nutritional demands from grass alone resulting in them becoming hungry, compromising their welfare. As indoor housing and pasture may both have positive and negative effects on the welfare of dairy cattle a study was conducted to determine the preference of high genetic merit Holstein dairy cows (n = 32) in mid to late lactation to be indoors or on pasture and to establish the factors that influenced their decision. Twice a day, after milking, cows were taken to a choice point equidistant (48 m) from indoor housing and pasture, where cows chose whether to go indoors or to pasture. After their initial choice, cows could then move between indoors and pasture until the next milking. Indoors, a total mixed ration (TMR) was available ad libitum. At pasture, sward dry matter (DM) was maintained between 1800 and 3000 kg DM/ha. Decision at the choice point and time spent in each location were recorded. To determine what influenced the cow's decision, behaviour, weather conditions, milk yield, lameness, body condition score (BCS) and live weight were recorded. From the choice point cows chose to go indoors almost twice as often as to pasture (66.2 ± 5.02% vs. 33.8 ± 5.02%, respectively) which was significantly different from 100% (P < 0.001), 50% (P = 0.004) and 0% (P < 0.001), and spent more time indoors compared to pasture (91.9 ± 2.33% vs. 8.1 ± 2.33%, respectively) which was significantly different from 100% (P = 0.001), 50% (P < 0.001) and 0% (P < 0.001). Milk yield affected preference (P = 0.005) with high yielding cows (>26.9 kg/day; n = 12) spending more time indoors than low yielding dairy cows (≤26.9 kg/day; n = 12), and there was a tendency for cows with a higher BCS (>2.7; n = 12) to spend more time at pasture (P = 0.058). Of the weather conditions rainfall influenced preference (P = 0.015) with cows spending more time indoors on days when it rained. Indoor and outdoor temperature–humidity index (THI), lameness and live weight had no effect on preference. The results indicate that the cows in this study had a partial preference to be indoors which is likely to be influenced by the TMR, allowing high yielding cows to meet their nutritional demands. However, this partial preference does not mean that pasture is not important for the welfare of dairy cows.Citation

Southampton 2, Stoke City 2
Stoke City came from behind twice to draw 2-2 away to Southampton on Saturday in the Premier League .
Saints striker Ricky Lambert gave the hosts a sixth-minute lead when he curled home a free kick for his eighth league goal of the season.
Stoke equalized in the 38th when new signing Peter Odemwingie raced onto Charlie Adam's throughball before beating goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
However the home side restored its advantage in the 41st when Steven Davis' left-footed cross found its way into the corner of Asmir Begovic's net.
Former Saints player Peter Crouch leveled the scoring, when he converted from close range in the 44th after another impressive delivery from Adam.
Morgan Schneiderlin almost won it for Southampton late on but he fired into the side netting.
Crystal Palace 3, West Brom 1
Thomas Ince and Joe Ledley scored on their debut for Crystal Palace as the London club continued its recovery with a 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
Palace has taken 16 points from a maximum 21 at home under manager Tony Pulis, who took over after Ian Holloway resigned last October with the Premier League club five points adrift of safety. Saturday's win lifted Palace to 13th place, three points above the relegation zone.
Ince opened the scoring in the 15th minute by clipping the ball over Ben Foster from Yannick Bolasie's pass. Ince then turned provider with a corner that Ledley sent into the net with a powerful header.
Thievy Bifouma pulled one back after the interval before Marouane Chamakh sealed the game from the penalty spot.
Aston Villa 0, West Ham United 2
West Ham moved out of the relegation zone on Saturday following its 2-0 away win over Aston Villa in the Premier League
Kevin Nolan struck twice in quick succession for the Hammers as they secured their first back-to-back victories in the league this season.
The visitors took the lead within seconds of the restart following a goalless first half. Winger Stewart Downing found Nolan inside the penalty area, and his improvised back heel beat Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
The midfielder doubled his side's advantage in the 48th when he robbed midfielder Fabian Delph, before striding into the penalty area and slotting past Guzan.
Villa twice hit the woodwork through substitute Marc Albrighton and Christian Benteke but West Ham held on for the three points.
Sunderland 0, Hull City 2
Hull managed a surprise 2-0 win at 10-man Sunderland to inch away from the Premier League relegation zone on Saturday.
Sunderland was full of confidence after humiliating Newcastle 3-0 in the northern derby last week, while Hull had won just one of its last 11 league matches.
Gus Poyet's team played almost the entire match with 10 men after Wes Brown was sent off in the fourth minute for a challenge on Shane Long, who was through on goal.
Long nodded home Jake Livermore's volley 12 minutes later for his second goal in as many matches.
Fellow new signing Nikica Jelavic all but sealed the result shortly after the hour mark, heading in his first Hull goal.
It was Sunderland's first defeat since New Year's Day and leaves it provisionally a point above the relegation zone.

After my walk around Downtown Vancouver and lunch in my hotel room, I prepared for my 5:00 pm interview with John and Brandy Bates of the band, Big John Bates. There was time in my schedule for an afternoon or evening visit; I contacted Brandy Bates the day before our interview. She and John agreed to meet at one of their favorite local pubs, the Wicklow Pub.
The Wicklow Pub is a comfortable bar in False Creek. They had good beer on tap, great service and a decent menu. It was a comfortable place to hangout and visit over the next two hours.
|Big John Bates.
Big John Bates – John founded the band Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz in 2000. John is lead singer and lead Gretsch guitar player. He became the first artist to bring burlesque performers on tour. His music career officially began in 1989 with the Heavy Metal Canadian band "Annihilator."
|Brandy Bones Bates.
Brandy Bones Bates – joined the band in 2009 while a student at Western Washington University. She plays the Hofner upright Bass and Cello.
Recently married, they tour and record together with their band Big John Bates.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_John_Bates
|Photo taken in 2010 outside Charles Smith winery.
I Met John and Brandy in 2010 in Walla Walla, Washington at a Charles Smith party during a Wine Bloggers Conference. The band back then was called, "Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz" their style of music was described as "Alternative Rockabilly" and the Voodoo Dollz were a burlesque act that accompanied the band. Today, the burlesque act is gone, the band is called "Big John Bates" their style of music is now referred to as "Americana Noir" and John married his bass player, Brandy.
* Note 1: During the interview John and Brandy shared a lot of recommendations about food, bands and places to hangout. I've listed contact information for those recommendations at the bottom of this article.
Brandy settled in with a coffee, while John and I sipped on refreshing pints of Red Truck Lager.
|photo: Brandy and John Bates.
Q: You've had a change in style with your music. More music less act.
Brandy: Yeah, it's less of a show pony.
John: Yeah, it was definitely all about putting on a big show for a while. We wanted to make it more musical, I guess, so we could play different songs, kind of structure the night to the audience. As opposed to what we had to do with the girls. With the dancing and stuff.
Q: So that was choreographed?
John: It was all choreographed we had a certain amount of time for costume changes and this and that. It was fun and all.
Brandy: You always had to stay in your designated corner when you were playing.
John: Yeah, you had to watch out. You could have killed someone with that Bass, you could have jammed it up somebodies ass. (laughter)
Q: Brandy, I was watching one of your music videos on youtube, you are all over that Bass. It's pretty cool. Why would you want to detract from that?
John: It's nice to be able to have that. We've also brought in a mandolin player now, a Concertina and a guitarist. One of our friends on a boat plays here.
Brandy: There's actually a ton of musicians living on boats down here.
John: The Mandolin is nice because it brings in a lot of melody, without taking too much away.
We actually started doing some acoustic shows just with us and the Mandolin. Just to see how it feels.
> I've added another video since the original was removed:
John: It's a different experience, right. It's not the Voodoo Dollz experience. It's different. So we separate the style of music and everything, sort of had a cutoff in 2010.
Now we have this American Alternative Noir kind of music, because it's Rock/Alternative Rock sort of thing but it's also you know there's Americana and everything else in it, right. I don't want to just label it Americana, because it goes different places. And it's still too loud for that. You know.
Q: You're older, married and seasoned.
John: I think so. We did over a thousand shows with that band. That's a lot of countries and a lot of shows.
Q: So, when's the next album?
John: Probably going to do a single this summer. Tour Europe again in the Fall. We're just going to do festivals in the spring and summer. We just applied to do bumbershoot. That sort of stuff.
Brandy: We just released our last album in September 2012.
John: So it's pretty fresh.
Q: I like bumbershoot. How open the layout is. Music venue's are everywhere at the Seattle Center. It's open to wander around and listen to what catches your attention.
John: There's a lot of stuff we couldn't do like that. In Europe we could play festivals that were family, but in North America when we were with the Voodoo Dollz, at festivals it was very weird sometimes. Some communities would embrace it, but others were, "Really?"
* Note 2: Because the original band was mentioned several times. Here's a NSFW link to a live performance of Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz. Remember, this included the burlesque act.
Warning! NSFW
Q: Ah, I remember my first reaction seeing the Voodoo Dollz and the burlesque act when you guys played in Walla Walla at the Charles Smith winery. Certainly not what I expected to see in Walla Walla. But an interesting combination of music and wine.
Brandy: But a good combination. (laughs).
Q: The lead singer is really important to the style of the band. To connect with the audience.
John: Yeah, I felt that when Brandy started singing. Right now she sings half the songs live. Right? When you saw us I sang almost everything. It's all changed now. We feature her in the videos we shot this summer. It brought different things together and it freed me up a lot to play too. Which is awesome.
> See Brandy featured on vocals on the following 2012 video:
Q: My son is playing guitar. He's 15 and I'd love for him to take it more seriously.
John: That's when I started too.
Brandy: I don't think I took anything seriously when I was 15.
John: I took it seriously because girls didn't like me and I thought, "I might as well do something."
Q: How do you see Vancouver as a local? And how would you share the Vancouver experience with someone?
John: There's a definite musical soul to Vancouver in East Vancouver. Main street is hip. But you go down closer to Gastown and Chinatown. You start to find the real scene here. That's where it is. Not on the West side.
You'll see things at the Owl and the Rail Way. If you go to Granville there's the Cellar and Joe's Apartment. Morriseys a good drinking place.
You know I think you've got to look for it in Vancouver. But it's definitely farther east. Those are the places I would say to go. You can find the flavor you want if you look around. There are a lot of alternative venues. We went to the Polish Community Center for a fun show the other day. There's all sorts of stuff happening. It's a big city. It's not barren.
Q: What about food?
Brandy: The Canadians have this thing called "Poutine." It's french fries with gravy and cheese curds. My favorite.
Q: Poutine? I've never heard of it.
Brandy: I don't know why Americans haven't. Because it sounds like an American food, french fries with gravy on it and cheese.
John: And sometimes they'll put on little bits of bacon. There's a place on Davie and Granville right downtown. And all they serve is Poutine. You got to try it. They have it here. Between Eggs Benedict and that...the best eggs Benedict is next door at Branas. They do a blackened prawn bennie. That's just awesome, awesome. You have to ask for it special. << They do it until 2 am.
Q: So you guys live on a boat?
John: Yeah. You can go down to the Gulf Islands and visit wineries and wine tours. There are only 20 licenses in Vancouver. Very few do it.
Brandy: It took a while to get used to.
John: Yeah, Montana here...
Brandy: Yeah I got sea sick. I used to turn green on a boat.
John: My dad was a sea captain. I've been doing it for a long time. So I'm used to it. Neat eh?
It's interesting on our boat, because Brandy's such a land lubber. That, we've got hardwood floors, flat screen tv, a couch, it's like walking into a living room. It's really weird. But we can move around, go to Seattle or up to Alaska on our boat.
Brandy: Yeah, it's a very minimalist way of living.
John: It's so liberating. Like we have a trailer full of musical equipment, one full back line here in Vancouver, and one in Germany. Everything is duplicated. Upright basses, amps, drum sets...one here, one there. Brandy has a car, I ride a motorcycle an old Triumph. Everything else we just gave away. Some of her stuff is sitting in a barn in Montana. Most of it you just part with your goods. If you want something new, that's great, but something old has to go. That's the way it works. Honestly, you hit some good waves, and things are breaking. It happens
Brandy: It gets messy sometimes.
|photo: View of boats from the Wicklow Pub.
John: In the summertime there's nothing like it. Our view is beautiful. A million dollar view of Vancouver all summer long.
Q: We talked about San Diego and Los Angeles next. Which led to the topic of the Vancouver Movie scene and travel.
Brandy: This city is like L.A. North. Like a lot of attitude you have in Los Angeles, you have here.
John: Yeah, they call it L.A. North. It's very transient here. You get a lot of people coming and going. They come and go to L.A. Sometimes and back to where they came from. So it's harder to make friends sometimes because of that.
Toronto is getting a lot of film too. I'm from Toronto, the area known as "The Thousand Islands" between Ontario and New York state. 1,700 islands is in this little tiny area. So, I was born in Toronto and came out this way and said "I'm not going back." I don't want to shovel snow anymore.
Brandy: We were just in Verona, Italy. Two months ago.
John: Before that we played with Andre Williams on top of a mountain vineyard. It was amazing. We played four vineyards in Italy. It was neat. Sicily was pretty crazy too.
We'll be playing Shambhala, Kelowna festival, maybe Squamish, hopefully Bumbershoot. And Europe; France, Spain, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, Belgium and maybe up north. Should be good. I want to get farther East. And Hungary.
|photo: Brandy Bones Bates.
Q: Where's your strongest fan base?
John and Brandy: Germany!
John: Germany, western Canada, Mid-western United States. They are the three that keep us going. Playing music. They are good people. They are not looking for the next big flavor. Enough fans who are more focused on independent stuff. In the heartland of America things are more real. I get that impression. From Montana, Fargo, all the way to Wisconsin, to Michigan. We usually play as far down as Pennsylvania. We're always looking for bands to tour with.
Q: I read that you were featured on Battle Star Galactica? Season 3 Episode 14?
Brandy: It was on the magazine. Big John Bates.
John: One of the prop masters is a fan. So they got permission to use the name. I even have the prop magazine they used on that episode. They had the wrap party next door and they thanked us.
|photo: Big John Bates.
Q: Who are you listening too now? Old or new, anybody?
John and Brandy: Woven Hand. We just saw Woven Hand in Bellingham. They're really good.
Brandy: Wolves in the Throne Room, they're out of Olympia.
John: Just eclectic stuff. We try to avoid mainstream. I have friends who are in big bands...it's fun to hang out. But you want to look for the more interesting little things. A lot of them turn out to be U.S. Bands they have a lot of personality. Right?
Slim Cessna's Auto Club – they are out of Denver. So's Woven Hand. There's a lot of cool bands out of Denver.
Reverend Deadeye is out of Denver. We've toured with a lot of these guys. They've helped us with our records. There's some terrific talent. You Know. Amazing stuff.
If you look at Slim Cessna, 30 different members over the years and you can follow all of the different bands that are offshoots from there. It's crazy. Amazing stuff.
Q: Social media for marketing and networking, sharing, advice, jokes, regular dialogue has really opened things up for me. What about you? Is social media helping you?
John: Completely. You have to. It's really important. For us to get hold of other bands. It used to be a lot harder. You can get hold of just about anyone now. It doesn't get you any farther than... it would have in the old days. It's just more accessibility. That's what it's about. It doesn't make anything easier. You still have to make an effort. But it's also a nice "hello."
|photo: John and Brandy Bates.
Q: The reason we're here today is because Brandy and I are facebook friends.
Brandy: Yep. (laughs)
Q: I have a cell phone, but I don't use it for voice calls. Mostly just data.
John: Texting has become more subtle. Texting has made phone calls, well "I'll get to it." But people get really annoyed if you don't text back pretty fast. Which I find obnoxious. Brandy has to remind me sometimes, "John, social situation." (we all laugh.)
But yeah, I couldn't live without it either. Drives me crazy when we go to Europe, when we don't have it, it drives us all nuts. Jones'n for a wifi signal (laughs).
The city of Vancouver has a project. Basically trying to blanket the city with wifi. If you have Shaw cable at home, then they have Shaw Open, you go and there's a wifi signal at every bar. There's an app in the app store you can get. So you can just use the Shaw Open. I'm almost never without some kind of signal. Pretty cool.
Q: Sounds like things are going well.
Brandy: It's been a nice little break.
John: That's one thing. We're having a 6 month break. Aside from some little shows we're doing on our own. We're writing new songs. Getting back in touch with our city too. Which we haven't had time to do. It's been touring, touring, touring. For Brandy since 2009 for me since 2001 I've been on the road. So it's been really cool. To discover the city again.
Q: At this point, some of his buddies arrived to watch the hockey game. Go Canucks! The three of us hung out a bit longer and ordered the daily special, hamburgers and beers.
* Note 3: I should mention that I took a taxi to and from the Wicklow Pub. John mentioned that the legal limit in Vancouver is .05% alcohol. That would be equal to just one glass of beer. So it's not worth it to even attempt drinking and driving. There are several ways to get to the Wicklow from downtown; taxi, SkyTrain and water taxi. Next time I'm going SkyTrain.
It was an enjoyable visit with John and Brandy. The conversation was good and the beer was good. It's exciting to see a band grow and change it's style as it matures. Their new acoustic stuff with Brandy on vocals is very cool. I encourage you to catch a live performance and buy their music.
Checkout the links below. There's a lot of music I need to add to my collection.

5-7-2011 Safeco Field
You will not regret getting a bagel from this place. Its right between the Mariners team store and the leftfield gates. I tried the cheddar, chive, and garlic hot dog bagel and it was amazing. Also if you want to get a soft drink but you don't want to pay the ridiculously high price of one inside the stadium, I would suggest buying one from here. They cost $1.97 and you can buy them inside the stadium. Right inside the leftfield gates just hang a hard right and you can use the walk up window.
Once I got inside I saw this.
And I saw this.
I asked a nearby security guard why the Chicago Whitesox were already on the field taking BP. They had no idea. One nearby fan explained to me that it was little league day and batting practice would be ending in twenty minutes. Twenty minutes??!! So I had about fifteen minutes to get on the board or my chances were pretty slim. With that being said I noticed a baseball in behind the centerfield fence down in the batters eye area. Unfortunatly there wasn't a security guard that would go get it. Fortunatly a deep drive was hit towards centerfield and both the Whitesox athletic trainer and one of the players were in hot persuit. They even ran through the open fence to get the ball. I quickly held up my glove and called out to the athletic trainer that ended up with the ball. He nodded to me and lobbed a high arching throw that missed my glove and bounced over to some fans that had no idea what was going on. Plus I had some guy right on my hip pocket yapping in my ear and encouraging me to jump the fence and go get the baseball in the batters eye area.
To make matters worse? Here came security. One of the security guards started telling me not to jump down there because I could get ejected. I explained I wasn't going to and that I knew the ground rules of the stadium. She insisted to explain to me the importance of not jumping down there. And I continued to insist that I wasn't going to do such a thing. Finally a security guard came out of no where and lobbed me the baseball. It somehow ended up squirting out of my glove and dropping back down. So I had to hear another earfull from the security guard of how important it was not to jump down there to get the baseball. In the end I got the baseball. So I suppose it was worth it.
When we were allowed to explore the entire stadium I wandered over to the first base side. When I arrived it wasn't much longer when a foul ball came my way. It went over my head and landed in the middle of two sections. I was the only one within twenty feet of the baseball so I had an easy grab. Plus the ball didn't bounce around. I was pretty surprised it stayed where it did. After that batting practice came to an end. Since it was little league day this was how it went until the game started.
Hundreds of people walked the entire field. About the only cool thing that happened was Paul Konerko came out to talk with some close friends or family members. I approached him for an autograph but he said he wasn't signing right now. So I just took some pictures instead.
When he jogged off the field I told him I was going to catch his 400th career home run. He kind of laughed and shrugged his shoulders. "I hope!" he said. I told him to not worry about it because it was going to happen. After he went into the dugout Edwin Jackson poked his head out and I got him to sign my ticket stub.
He was a little stand-offish at first but eventually with enough beggging I got him to sign an autograph. It was the ultimate experience.
The Mariners on the other hand simply got rocked. By the fifth inning it was already 3-0 and the Whitesox never looked back. Chicago won 6-0. I sat most of the game behind the rightfield foul pole. Those seats aren't as heavily guarded as the other ones so I really didn't get harassed by security. I might make those seats my normal seats during large crowds. The outfield gets too packed which makes it hard to catch any home run baseballs.
Game; May 7th 2011 Chicago Whitesox vs Seattle Mariners
Gameballs; Three
Attendance; 26,288
Snagging Baseballs for Puppies has raised; $28.00 this season.
Snagging Baseballs for Relief in Japan has raised; $11.25 this season
5-6-2011 Safeco Field
The Mariners were hosting the Chicago Whitesox tonight plus it was Ichiro Suzuki hit counter bobblehead night. So I figured Safeco would be packed. But batting practice wasn't too bad. The lines weren't as bad as I thought but I did have to show up an extra hour early to secure my spot in line. I didn't attempt to enter the stadium at the centerfield gates this time because all of the gates were opening at 4:40pm. So I entered the stadium at the rightfield gates. As soon as I ran in I was quickly on the board with two easer eggs that I found in the rows. And as I was exiting the section there was a sharply hit foul ball that landed a few rows to my left. There was another fan chasing it down by trying to jump over the rows to get to it. But I let gravity work on my side and let the ball come to me. I gave it to the guy just for his hard effort at trying to chase it down. I thought he was going to seriously injure himself.
After the Mariners exited the field I ran over to the Chicago Whitesox dugout area. Omar Vizquel was playing catch with his son and just about everyone and their mother was trying to get his autograph. Vizquel isn't known for being the friendliest guy either. So the fans that got his autograph should consider themselves very lucky.
Here is a picture of Omar and his kid.
After chasing Omar Vizquel's autograph for about ten minutes I decided to go play foul territory for some baseballs. Here was my view.
And then after standing in that area for about 30 minutes I decided to go back down to the Whitesox dugout in hopes that the pitching coach might hook me up with a baseball after batting practice ended.
See how packed the rightfield bleachers were? Its tough to get a home run ball when its that tight.
About the only really cool thing that happened at tonight's game (besides getting an Ichiro bobblehead) was that Rob Dyrdek showed up to throw out the first pitch. He came over to sign some autographs and I snapped a few pictures of him.
He was really cool about hooking people up with autographs before the game. I was in line for a few minutes to see if I could get his autograph on my ticket stub but so many older teenagers just shoved their way to the front of the line. One of the security guards tried to get things organized as best as he could but it was pretty much a loss cause. I even had adults shoving their way past me to get his autograph. But Rob was cool about it. He signed as many as he could until he had to go.
I made my way back to the Chicago side of the stadium and waited on the warmup ball from the Whitesox. I was quickly ran out by security but it really didnt matter. The Whitesox never came out to warmup in front of the dugout anyway. After that I made my way out to the outfield to sit and watch the game. It was another exciting Mariner win. They won with a Brendan Ryan single in walk-off fashion. The stadium exploded with cheers as the Mariners ran out onto the field to smother Ryan with rabbit punches, and a standing dogpile.

5-5-2011 Safeco Field
Batting practice was extremely slow. The Mariners were completely ignoring everyone in the centerfield 'Pen area. Even friendly shout-outs from the fans like, "Hey, how are you doing today?" were blown off from them. I don't know if they were all having a bad day or it was just one of those unfriendly days. So I decided to line up at the stairs early. The Mariners didn't have anyone that could hit a baseball to the centerfield seats anyway. As soon as I lined up someone hit a monster bomb towards the vistors bullpen. The ball clanged off the bullpen bench overhang and shot right at a group of people. They all scrambled for it and somehow it got loose and rolled underneath the staircase. I darted around the stairs and gave chase but I was immediatly blind-sided by some middle-aged man that wanted the baseball more than I did. He shouldered me into the wall, and knocked my hat off in the struggle as he kicked the ball from my reaching grasp. I wanted to give chase and spear tackle him into the nearest brick wall. I was furious. I said a few choice words and decided it wasn't worth it. If I engaged in physical violence with this shmuck I'd probably get thrown out of Safeco Field. That just wasn't my style.
Before the horn blew to allow us into the rest of the stadium I did witness a baseball hit into the seats on the first base side. So at the last moment I changed my decision to go up the centerfield steps instead of the bullpen stairs that led into left field/3rd base area. It paid off too. Well, I did have to run the entire outfield concourse and then chase down three sections. After that I diligently scoured the seats until I found the baseball. A security guard was watching me the entire time and smiled when I found the ball. I was lucky the baseball didn't get free from a seat support then roll all the way to the bottom of the section. At least I got my cardio in for the day.
I lined up behind these two Texas Rangers. I could not identify them and I was hoping for an overthrow. The ball sailed high and to the left and it landed about six rows up when it happened. I jumped over the first two rows and saw that some girl was running farther up then she had to. Gravity is my best friend. The ball just trickled down to the row I was standing in and I reached over the seats to scoop it up. "I didnt know which row it was in." The girl said with a laugh.
After that I decided to hang around the Rangers dugout.
After batting practice concluded the Rangers pitching coach had a baseball in his hand. He was looking to toss it someone. So I gave him an upnod and sure enough he tossed me the baseball. It was the nastiest, most dirtiest baseball I have ever put my hands on. It also smelled of some kind of chemical. Maybe rosin. Im not sure what was on the baseball but it made my backpack stink for days.
Here's another picture of the baseball out of focus this time.
After that I waited for the game to start. I even asked one of the security guards if I could stand in her section and wait on the warmup baseball. She told me I could stand in row 12 and back. She then proceeded to tell me it would be impossible to get a warmup baseball because the Rangers don't always throw the ball into the crowd. And sometimes they leave the field on the other end of the dugout. And sometimes they give the ball to a kid. I just stood there and stared blankly at the roof. I even noticed a little trap door while she was talking.
The trap door is the little white speck in the middle of the picture. It was very interesting. Anyway. After being denied by the Rangers on the warmup baseball I took my seat in the outfield and patiently waiting on a home run ball that never came my way. I keep telling myself that If I sit out there long enough I will be the guy that the baseball comes directly to.

The stories of how my two children came into the world are utterly different.

(a) Suppose that is a surjective ring homomorphism. Prove that if is a principal ideal domain then every ideal in is also principal.

Well yes, but this isn't the best way to argue. You want to show that or equivalently that if then for some .

OK, but what's an obvious example of a ring which is a PID, one that's not, and an obvious homorphism between the two? Hint: is involved.Then has at least one nonzero zero-divisor. So if then if , and can both be nonzero.

Recently I shot photos of Megan Musnicki, a Olympic gold medalist who graduated from Ithaca College, for The Ithacan. Along with Matt Kelly, sports editor for the paper, we were able to set up some great shots. But, interestingly enough this practice shot of Matt deserves some attention.

|Title: Tobacco Transition Program, Final Dates for Program Signup and Successor-in-Interest Transfers
|Abstract: The Tobacco Transition Payment Program (TTPP), which began in 2005, will end in 2014 and provides payments to assist tobacco quota holders and producers to transition to a free tobacco market from the previously federally regulated program. The final rule will establish deadlines to end the TTPP signup period and the option for contract holders to, in essence, sell their contracts to a third party. The final rule contains two Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) deadlines for TTPP holders and producers of quota tobacco, and for owners of Successor-In-Interest (SII) contracts: (1) Enrollment in TTPP will end 60 days after publication of the final rule, and (2) the option for the owner of a TTPP contract to take the following actions will end 90 days after publication of the final rule: (a) Enter into an SII contract or the current owner of an SII contract to enter into a successive SII contract (a successor contract essentially sells a contract); (b) Transfer a TTPP contract to a family member; or (c) Transfer a TTPP contract to a producer who had purchased marketing quota prior to October 22, 2004, and assigned the quota to a farm the producer did not own.

Hello John,
I need someone to manage the Danish version of one of my websites. After the initial site translation, the job will entail only about 20 to 30 minutes of email management daily. 'Salary' for this job will be a sizeable percentage of recurring sales.
I have the relevant, targetted Danish traffic to our website, but very few sales compared to our main site. It is my hope that tailor-fitting a Danish website should bring up conversion rates to at least match our other sites.
If interested, Please PM me for more details.

Write of Passage: The Sports Guy
Popular ESPN columnist and best-selling author Bill Simmons spent his most influential years in Greenwich playing hoops, making great friends, and cultivating his writing skills. Here, he shares how his hometown roots paved his path to sports media glory.
Photography by: Steven Barry
(page 1 of 2)
Bill Simmons watched the fifth game of last October's American League Championship Series in his Southern California home. For the first seven innings, it wasn't very fun. The Boston Red Sox were losing to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. His favorite team's season hung in the balance, but they were down by seven runs and looked half-asleep on the field.
"I was getting ready to call my dad," recalls Simmons. "It was time for a postmortem on the Red Sox season."
In the meantime, Simmons tapped at the laptop on his knee, reworking a column about football set to appear on ESPN.com the next day. That's what Simmons does for a living. The Greenwich Country Day and Brunswick School grad is famous across the country as ESPN's "Sports Guy," one of the best-known sportswriters on the Internet. He was an early pioneer of sports blogging, and his columns still draw some 500,000 unique visitors each month.

In the latest guest post about using Technology in Modern Foreign Languages, Dominic McGladdery writes about the apparent disparity between government advice on using mobiles phones in the classroom and the reality of teaching in classrooms where often every single student owns a mobile phone. Dominic opts to make the most of mobile phones as a teaching and learning tool and explores the different ways in which he has used mobile phones in his classroom.
As long ago as 2001, the UK government asked the Stewart Inquiry to set guidelines on a minimum age for mobile telephone users. It didn't, but that didn't stop the government from issuing a circular to all schools in England discouraging non-essential use of mobile telephones among students under the age of 15.
Since then, things have changed. Children used mobiles and didn't grow the tumours the government warned them about, and the technology has become so advanced that most children I teach have a mobile telephone in their pocket which is considerably better and faster than the desktop PC in my study.
Much has been written about how students can use their telephones as learning tools. However, officially, mobiles are still banned in many schools.
I have been using them with my KS4 students with some success and here are some ways in which we have used them:
- Voice recording
The students record themselves speaking in the target language using the mobile phone's in-built voice recorder. They then play it back, listening to their work. Instant self assessment and possible peer assessment. What did they do wrong? How could they improve?
- Video recording
Using the video recording function, one student records two others performing a dialogue in the target language. This is great for practising GCSE Role Play activities and also for improving pronunciation. We have also done this using the school's video cameras but, for some reason, the students prefer to use their mobiles. The fact that they don't need to be taught to use them saves valuable time in class too.
The finished work can then be sent to my laptop via Bluetooth and shared with the group.
- Sending files via Bluetooth
For the last couple of years the students have recorded their Presentations for their GCSE speaking exams using Audacity. I edited them taking out long pauses and erms, saved them as .mp3 files and bluetoothed them to each student. They then listened to them on their mobiles or copied them to their Mp3 Players. We found this an excellent way to revise. Your friends don't need to know that you are revising for your German exam, do they?
I also used Xtranormal with Year 9 students to create movies which I embedded into my department's wiki. I downloaded them using RealPlayer and sent them to students' phones using Bluetooth. They were really proud of what they had done and achieved.
We have used Bluetooth to revise grammar points too. I converted some grammar PowerPoint files I made into movies with Movie Maker and bluetoothed them to the students.
- Downloading
I made some Crazytalk movies with some of the students and uploaded them to a YouTube account I created for the department. The students then downloaded the files to their mobiles to show their friends and families.
- Using the web
I recently had a student use her mobile phone in my class to look up the meaning of a word on WordReference because she couldn't find it in the dictionary. I have also allowed students to use Wikipedia to find information on certain topics in the target language.
If you work in a school which allows students to use their mobiles responsibly, I would definitely recommend that you try out some of the ideas listed above.
So what are my future plans?
Well, next term I hope to get the students to use their phones actively in lessons. Ideally, I want them to use their phones to answer questions by text message. I'd already heard of one site, SMSPoll and, after reading Mark Cunningham's blog about his recent experiences, another called PollEverywhere. Both these sites allow students to answer multiple choice questions and give realtime answers which can be put straight into PowerPoint presentations, which would be ideal for starters and plenaries in the classroom.
PollEverywhere also allows you to create free text polls where students can respond with their own answers and allows answers via Twitter, too. This would be ideal for feedback and gathering information in languages lessons.
I'm aware that not all students will have their mobiles in school and that not all of them will be able to send SMS for free, but I hope to find a way around this. When I do, I'll let you know.

Writing a review of this artwork is very difficult. There aren't words for the combination of original art and original photography that Haya provides. And the artwork that we received is BEYOND perfect - it looked great on-screen, but in person it is GLORIOUS! Besides the fabulous, undescribable simple-yet-complicated artwork, I also must comment on the way this transaction was handled. Ordering from the Middle East can be tricky, but Haya took care of every single detail on her end, packaged this artwork so that it arrived in perfect condition, and checked in with me every step of the way, and sometimes in-between steps. This beautiful piece of art has become so much more than just "art" for us-it embodies the relationship, however brief, that we enjoyed with Haya. We have warm, loving thoughts every time we look at this!!

Absolutely beautiful. The canvas is exactly what I'd hoped it would be. Well packaged too.
Art & Photography Forever ♥
Hi ♥
If you've been looking for the perfect housewarming or wedding gift, or just the right spot of color to add to your home or office decor, you've come to the right place!
Every week I take between 500- 1,000 photos. Some of them are taken in product photography productions, and some during the field trips I take on weekends.
I've been creating art for as long as I can remember, and the transformation of my photographs into Pieces of Art on canvas has been a quintessential evolution of my artistic passion.
The photographs undergo a process of computerized layering and graphic design, and are then printed on a sheet of square canvas, which is stretched over a 1" deep wooden frame and finally, coated with a transparent glaze to protect the colors.
The prints can be enlarged up to 30"x 30".
Every shop listing depicts an example of how the canvas looks on the wall as part of the home or office decor.
I often suggest the playful coordination of multiple, complementary canvas art pieces, displaying them together in a row, or top down, to create larger, more comprehensive and more personalized pieces of art.
Wishing you all much love and happiness,
