A Focus on Art
Hotel or art gallery? The Four Seasons Hotel Miami actually is both.
A reflection of Miami's vibrant art scene, the property, located on the top floors of Miami's tallest tower, is a veritable feast for those who appreciate both fine accommodations and a focus on art. The first indication of the hotel's well-curated collection is a pair of monumental Fernando Botero sculptures, Adam and Eve, encountered at the ground floor en route to the seventh-floor lobby. The experience continues from there, with another Botero, Seated Woman (right), and various works by Hernan Bas, José Bedia, Daniel Arsham, Vik Muniz and several other artists both established and emerging.
Miami-based artists are well represented here. That was by design: Millennium Partners, the hotel's developer, wanted to shift the spotlight onto living artists contributing to the cultural fabric of the community and give them an alternative forum for showcasing their work.
You can't walk anywhere on this property without encountering art in one form or another. That's the beauty of staying here. Sure, the rooms are modern and gorgeous, the scene is lively and the new incarnation of Edge Steak and Bar (the signature restaurant) alone is worth the price of admission, but when you combine these with the visual feast of the art collection, the entire experience is elevated.
Art Revolution
Art enthusiasts will go anywhere if it means connecting with a promising new talent or discovering the next piece to augment their collections.
Sometimes, "anywhere" is a raw, gritty place where art can incubate away from the constraints of commercialism. In Miami, that place is Wynwood. To put it politely, the neighborhood isn't the most glamorous. There are empty warehouses, littered lots and interesting characters. But the art is for real, and, for the collector, that is what matters. Visit during Wynwood's Art Walk (second Saturday of every month), when its 60-plus galleries are open to visitors (otherwise, you need an appointment) and the art is cleverly showcased.
Start with the collections, particularly Rubell Family and Margulies. The Rubell Family Collection (rfc.museum) is one of the largest contemporary art collections in the world, with notable works by Jeff Koons, Kathryn Andrews and Andy Warhol. The Margulies Collection (margulieswarehouse.com) is housed in a 45,000-square-foot warehouse and includes photography, video, sculpture and installations. A must is Wynwood Walls (thewynwoodwalls.com)

The galleries are many and varied. Among the most compelling: The Lunch Box, mainly showcasing the work of emerging artists (thelunchboxgallery.com); Bernice Steinbaum, specializing in female artists and artists of color (bernicesteinbaumgallery.com); Pan American Art Projects, representing emerging and established artists from both North and South America (panamericanart.com); and Locust Projects, a nonprofit space where artists can create, develop ideas and exhibit without the pressure of traditional sales (locustprojects.org).
Design of the Times
On the second Saturday of every month, the Miami Design District hosts its Art & Design Nights and gallery walks. It's no coincidence that this corresponds with Wynwood Art Walk, because Wynwood is the adjacent district and the two share a similar mission: promoting the local arts scene. Call it strength in numbers.
For collectors, this event is a must, not only for the exposure to rising talent and intriguing new work but also for the social value. It's always good to network with other art enthusiasts and collectors as well as meet the artists. Some of the galleries to watch: Avant, Etra Fine Art, Markowicz Fine Art and Ricart.

Complementary and alternative medicine is popular among chronic renal failure patients – renal teams must increase their competence to advise patients with respect to efficacy and safety
- 1Center for Nephrology and Dialysis, Lindau/Bodensee, Germany

- Correspondence to Rainer Nowack
Center for Nephrology and Dialysis, Dialysezentrum Lindau, Friedrichshafener Str. 82; D-88131 Lindau, Germany; nowack{at}dialyse-lindau.de
Implications for practice and research
■ Renal nurses should realise that a substantial subset of their patients use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to treat their renal disease.
■ Active inquiry about CAM is warranted, as some products may be harmful for the patient (eg, by causing interactions with medication).
■ To better advise patients, nurses and physicians need to improve their knowledge about efficacy and safety of CAM.
■ For the sake of the patient's safety, research on nurses' communication skills is warranted. Nurses need to be trained to inquire successfully about CAM usage, (eg, by using structured questionnaires).
A substantial subset of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) has to accept that their disease will progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) despite modern evidence-based therapy. Dialysis-dependency is a bitter burden and patients fear the …

Cramer Quick Take: Time to Rotate Into Regional Banks
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- When it comes to the regional banks, "the time is now," Jim Cramer told Lindsey Bell at TheStreet.com Thursday.He said the expectations have been set very high at the big banks including Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) , but it is the regional banks that are putting up the numbers.
Cramer said many investors and analysts are focused on a single metric, net interest margin, but that's only one of many matrices that matter. He said that as with any business sales matter, growth matters and more loans matter, all of which the regionals banks have.That's why KeyCorp (KEYB) remains a favorite for Cramer's charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. Cramer also recommended BB&T (BBT) and First Horizon (FHN) as other strong players.
As for Citigroup, Cramer said he was a fan of Vikram Pandit but it appears Citi is pulling back from Pandit's strategy at the very time it should be pushing it forward.

Get your heart in shape for Valentine's Day with these three simple recipes.
Valentine's day is just around the corner and that means it's time to get your heart in tip-top condition so it can love passionately and unabashedly. We recommend you start the process by feeding it right.
Here are three simple ways to incorporate heart-healthy foods into your diet:
Beans: Fiber?
Drain and rinse 1 (16-ounce) can white beans (such as Great Northerns or Cannellini). Place in a bowl with 1 jarred roasted red bell pepper, 1 crushed garlic clove, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mash with a fork. Spread on a wrap for a veggie sandwich, top with melted cheese as a side to chicken, pork or fish, or use as a dip for veggie sticks.

Walnuts: Omega-3s?2
Walnut-Olive Pesto: Place 2 cups walnuts, 1 cup large pimiento-stuffed green olives, 1 large garlic clove, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Use as a topping for pasta, meat, fish or chicken, as a spread for crackers or as a sandwich spread. It's also a great flavor enhancer in sauces and chili.

Avocados: Monounsaturated fat?
Scoop out 1 avocado into a small bowl. Add kosher salt and a sprinkle of lemon juice and mash with a fork. Use as a spread for bagels or hearty multi-grain toast.

Winds fan fire along Columbia River
A number of homes were evacuated
THE DALLES, Ore. — Strong winds in the Columbia River Gorge fanned an Oregon wildfire burning on 3,000 acres, forcing the evacuation of a number of homes Monday while other residents waited to hear if they were going to have to leave.
The Government Flats Complex of fires was burning in hilly country near The Dalles, a Columbia River city that's a favorite hangout for windsurfers. Officials said 50 structures were ordered evacuated. It wasn't clear how many of those were homes.
The wildfire is the latest to grab the attention of regional fire crews as hot, dry weather persists across the West.
In Idaho, authorities slowly were allowing evacuees to return to homes that days ago were deemed at risk from a big and erratic wildfire burning near the affluent resort towns of Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley.
The Blaine County sheriff ended the mandatory evacuation order for up to 250 homes. Most of those residences are in subdivisions on the east side of the main highway connecting these communities and are farthest from the 160-square-mile Beaver Creek Fire, ignited by lightning Aug. 7.
About 1,150 firefighters, including elite teams known as Hotshots, looked to reinforce fire lines with the help of 14 helicopters and likely other aircraft. The fire was about 8 percent contained.
In Northern California, erratic winds fanned a wildfire that threatened more than 300 structures in rural Butte County. But the hundreds who evacuated from homes over the weekend were allowed to return as containment lines expanded.
The 3-square-mile fire just outside Bangor was 64 percent contained. So far, one residence, a garage and three outbuildings have been destroyed since the blaze broke out Friday, said Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Another wildfire on Monday forced the shutdown of a highway that serves as a busy gateway to Yosemite National Park.

In my BBQ brick lined oven, I am having a hard time keeping the floor at a low enough temperature between cooking pizza's. I use half thickness firebricks now, just curious what full bricks will do for the floor. Should they run hotter or cooler? Harder or easier to heat? Basically what would be the difference?Thanks,Scott D.

Does HBO Fear the Rise of Netflix Originals?
Netflix turned plenty of heads over the weekend with the debut of House of Cards, a political drama series bankrolled by the company at a cost of $100 million. Exclusive to the streaming service and put online all at once — a 13-episode dump of the entire first season — the unconventional release of the show got plenty of attention.
For Netflix, which earns all its revenue from $8/month subcription fees, the more big hit shows you can only find on its service means more subscribers — the only way the company can grow. In that sense, it's in a similar position to premium cable TV channels like HBO, which need to convince cable customers to take an extra hit on their monthly bill just to have access to the shows they can't get anywhere else.
So what do HBO's corporate owners at Time Warner think about House of Cards, and the entry of Netflix into the original, high-quality programming business? Here's Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes on an earnings call today, responding to a question on what the Netflix move means for HBO:
I feel great about how HBO is doing today. I think we just talked about it. It's got the best original programming slate ever, a lot of very high-profile series and more every year. We've locked up the theatrical movie position for the next decade. The HBO GO product is a fantastic, 21st-century, Internet-ready product, and we just added more subs than at any time in the last 10 years.
Now let's go over and give a little credit to Netflix. They're doing a great job. I think the functionality of their service, some of the really consumer-friendly effectiveness of their search, if you're watching it, finding what you want to watch, getting recommendations to go through a very, very deep library, a lot of programming, it's — the more programs you have on a service, the more important it is to be able to find them.
But if you talk about original programming, HBO has always operated in a competitive environment. We've been happy to see some of the successes at Showtime and Stars recently in originals. Netflix has a new original that's pretty good, House of Cards. I think that's great. It'll take a while for that to turn into — I forget, what does HBO get? 10 or so hits here? It's all good.
I think it reminds consumers of the choice that they have of television programming on demand. And it's an extremely — the cycle of making breakthrough original programming and having people find it and use it, which HBO has been doing for 20 years, and Netflix is now joining, it takes a while to get that up to scale.
It seems, for now, that Time Warner is fairly content with an upstart competitor. Bewkes also noted that expanding the market of people willing to pay good money for TV shows online is good news for businesses like his that benefit from better quality shows being made in the first place: "this emerging back end for cable originals is a very promising sign," he said, "since it should result in production values for cable originals getting even better over time."

Lap dog media still at it
To the Editor:
Again we're being treated to the unmitigated bias of the left wing media in full battle cry over virtually nothing. The temporary closure of a couple lanes on a New Jersey bridge, in reality, rises in importance almost to the level of a grade school kid's prank, but in the minds of the lap dog media in bed with the Democrat party (that would be most of the major media), there is ample reason to be going after Gov. Christie like frenzied chickens after a grasshopper.
The real reason, of course, is that he could be a formidable opponent for their beloved Hillary in her run for office. Those are the same media, it should be noted, who have generously provided cover for Team Obama by spending little or no time investigating or reporting on far more important matters such as, for example, the Fast and the Furious scandal, the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, the failure of Obama and Hillary Clinton to provide security for the Benghazi mission, the constant and persistent lying by Obama and Hillary about virtually every matter, the dictatorial overreach of power by Obama, the sacrifice of American lives in Benghazi by Obama and Hillary as a result of a purely politics-driven decision to lend support to Obama's re-election bid, the lack of viable U.S. foreign policy due to the ineptitude of Obama and Clinton and now Kerry, the plight of tens of millions of Americans who are now facing financial hardship due to the redistribution of wealth programs embodied in Obamacare by the Democrat party, the plight of tens of millions of Americans unemployed due to Obama's monetary policies, and the plight of millions of Americans whose retirement funds are vanishing fast due to the inflationary results of Team Obama's monetary policy.
The bridge closing inconvenienced a few hundred people momentarily, but the policies of Team Obama and the Democrat party will place hardship and "inconvenience" on hundreds of millions of people permanently.
Obama should be impeached, removed from office, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for his crimes. Realistically, that probably won't happen because the people who should be doing the prosecuting are Democrat co-conspirators and members of Team Obama, all covering for one another's corruption. But 2014 is here and 2016 is coming.

Skip to comments.Trayvon Martin's parents settle wrongful death suit 'for more than $1 million'
Posted on 04/05/2013 5:34:38 PM PDT by InMemoriam
Trayvon Martin's parents have settled a wrongful death claim, reportedly for more than $1 million, against the Florida homeowners association where their son was killed.
Under the terms of the settlement, Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, agreed to drop their wrongful death claim as well as claims for pain and suffering, loss of earnings and expenses.
[little more at link]
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Scum bags all..........
It is often cheaper to settle than win in court
"We are living in a dying country." - Rush Limbaugh, April 5, 2013
After the lawyers get theirs, Trayvon's parents will be lucky if they get $85.38 out of the deal.
I can't think of anything more disgusting.
Whaddya want from a bunch of urbanite Obama voters I suppose......
Wait a minute. Isn't one feature of the castle doctrine and stand your ground that you cannot be sued in civil court for defending yourself?
Thug wannabee got his comeuppance. And parents get some money.
Holders/Obamas people get on rolling.
Cha Ching
Probably a bargain for society. Think of how much a budding thug like little travomn would have cost us? How many robberies,rapes, are murders would he have commited after killing zimmerman? Eventually the law would have caught up. How much would we have paid for a public defender, endless appeals and all the prison housing costs? In the end trayvon would have become a Muslim in prison. One day,not too far off, Holder would grant black muslim prisoners blanket amnesty to be let out and kill all the whiteys he could. So a million is a bargain.
The family didn't sue Zimmerman. They sued the Homeowners' Association. I bet an insurance company just wanted the whole thing to go away.
Good riddance, rot and burn in hell, Martin ghetto thug punk.
They often decide to settle rather than take the chance on an unfavorable verdict. If there's a history of high jury verdicts in the county, plus the notoriety of the case, it's a good business decision.
Plus, in many states (I don't know about FL specifically) if a plaintiff's lawyer makes a demand and the insurer does not settle, and the verdict comes in for more than the demand, the insurer is on the hook for the entire amount plus attorney fees and costs.
So yeah, it's a good business decision.
"Wait a minute. Isnt one feature of the castle doctrine and stand your ground that you cannot be sued in civil court for defending yourself?'
I understand that it was the homeowners assoc. that was sued.
You know who got most of it? The lawyers! 33 1/3 % plus expenses. By the time they're through the deceased's family will get a few thousand.
I wouldn't be surprised if the lawyers' cut was 50% or even more, given the facts.
I have been thinking that since November. This country had the opportunity to hire a CEO that would have worked really hard to put us back on the road to prosperity. Instead we have the First Thug bringing us to bankruptcy and lying and smiling all the way there. Such a pity for the former greatest country on earth.
What a country! Only in America can a worthless piece of thug flesh end up being valued at $1M.
And the Gov'mt will get most of that.
Knowing how these things work, I'd say the association's insurance carrier simply put a pencil to paper and figured out how much it would cost to defend the association in the lawsuit -- and then just settled out of court.
Weez rich!
WOW....didn't listen to Rush today! What a true STATEMENT!!!!
These Rotney King lookalikes will speand every p[enny of that million in 6 months.
They will be Obama rich only spending their blood money instead of our taxes.
They deserve no more.
I guess they'll next go after hoodie manufacturerers and the vendors who sell them. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
'We are living in a dying country.' - Rush Limbaugh, April 5, 2013."
We are living in a dying country. - Rush Limbaugh, April 5, 2013
El Rushbo is right - as always. Sadly, I never thought I would hear him say that. But, since November 6, I most strongly concur.
They should not have payed a cent. The boy tried to kill a watchman.
"Wait a minute. Isnt one feature of the castle doctrine and stand your ground that you cannot be sued in civil court for defending yourself?"
They didn't sue Zimmerman, they sued the HOA.
Sorry, but if someone is trying to cause death or serious injury to you, and you kill that person in self-defense, it's not wrongful death. The homeowner's association whimped out. And now shootings in self defense will be followed by lawsuits. Oh well, I guess it's better to be sued than to be dead.
"They often decide to settle rather than take the chance on an unfavorable verdict."
If there was a settlement it contained a confidentiality agreement. That's why there hasn't been anything published about how much the settlement was for. Hell, it could have been for $10...or $10 million. But my suspicion is any settlement would have been much closer to the former than to the latter.
The amount in the settlement is not known, and supposedly not to be made public by any involved party.
This is a Crump "avoid the appeal of the denial of a court ordered deposition" move.
Well, I guess the entire shakedown operation had to hurry up and happen before the opportunity for reparations from deep pockets was lost.
George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
That's a fact, and not disputed by anyone.
Am I alone in wondering what justice was served by this settlement?
Zimmerman isn't personally paying for it.
We don't know if it was murder, or justifiable self-defense yet.
Here in Texas, yes. If the grand jury finds the shooting justified, there won't be a civil suit.
Of all the crap I've read in the last few weeks, this is the most disgusting. It truly is time for a civil war.These people have been awarded money because their son was an attemted murderer.How much more slap in the face are we supposed to take? I'm not going to sleep well tonite.
How much of that money do you suppose they will still have when Geeorge Zimmerman wins a civil lawsuit aginst them and their deceased son? Imagine some of that money going to George Zimmerman.
Will this have any effect on George Zimmerman's trial? The homeowner's association is essentially saying that Martin's death wasn't his own fault.
Your comment is offensive. While I believe Zimmerman is getting a raw deal, Trayvon is dead and doesn't believe to be called names like that.
A person's life is valued around future earnings. 20-30 yrs at 40-50k is around $1M. The insurance company didn't want a $10-20M award (and don't forget the legal hours the case would eat) and settled for the lowest amount if they lost.
Let's find out who the insurance company is so we'll know who not to buy insurance from before they can throw us to the hyenas.
The lawyer fee is agreed to before hand. And each state has different max. FLorida:
· If the case is concluded at any point after the filing of an answer or demand for appointment of arbitrators or, if no answer is filed or no demand for appointment of arbitrators is made, the expiration of the time period provided for such action, through the entry of judgment, the maximum fee is 40 percent of any recovery up to $1 million.
· In addition to the above fee, if you and your attorney settle your case for an amount between $1 million and $2 million, or if you win at trial and your recovery is between $1 and $2 million, the fee is 30 percent of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million.
They will wake up and realize that the lawyers got around forty percent, then the tax guy adds up the reminder of the one million, and the family is lucky to get $200k.
The association that paid this out? They will have all kinds of people asking why association fees suddenly go up in 2014, and refusing to cooperate.
WOW....didn't listen to Rush today! What a true STATEMENT!!!!
Plus, in many states (I don't know about FL specifically) if a plaintiff's lawyer makes a demand and the insurer does not settle, and the verdict comes in for more than the demand, the insurer is on the hook for the entire amount plus attorney fees and costs.
So yeah, it's a good business decision.
Not so much, The weaselly insurance company actually tried to weasel out of paying anything
http://blogs.findlaw.com/injured/2012/08/trayvon-martins-mom-sued-by-travelers-insurance-co.htmlThat will be one million, thank you. \=
Fulton made an insurance claim against Traveler's for about $75,000, reports The Washington Post. The insurance company had a policy with the homeowners' association at the Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, Fla., where Trayvon Martin was killed, agreeing to cover the costs of certain injuries.
But instead of paying out Fulton's claim, Traveler's filed a lawsuit against Fulton so that a court would step in and clarify just what damages it owes, if any
By filing the lawsuit against Sybrina Fulton, Traveler's is seeking a declaratory judgment from a judge. Generally, a declaratory judgment differs from other judicial rulings in that it does not require that any action be taken. Instead, the judge simply issues an opinion declaring the rights of each of the parties involved after analyzing the controversy. It should be noted, however, that a declaratory judgment is conclusive and legally binding. Traveler's Insurance Company basically sued Trayvon Martin's mom first, before she had a chance bring a lawsuit against the company. The judge's declaratory judgment will determine just what rights Sybrina Fulton has to recover damages from the insurance company.
The condo association just rewarded these two degenerates for raising an ignorant criminal. Their baby boy was worthless to them when he was alive. This payout was the only thing they were after. I can see them giving each other a high five and chest bumping in celebration. They're disgusting.
"Their lawyer, Benjamin Crump, says he intends to file suit against Zimmerman, as well."
"Travelers is not a party to the settlement," the company said in a prepared statement. "The settlement would have been with other insurers of the homeowners association and/or the property managers."
The policy had a $1 million limit, according to federal-court records, and went into effect March 30, 2012, a few weeks after Trayvon was shot. Trayvon's mother filed a claim with the insurer after it went into effect, according to federal-court records."
what a great way to view this scenario.never thought of that!
publish his name so if one is looking for an inept law firm, they can look him up....good grief

Paralympian Sandy Dukat Sets Amputee Marathon Record
From oceans to mountains to deserts, Denver's Sandy Dukat continues to conquer the world.
The former U.S. Paralympic swimmer and skier added another world record to her tally Sunday, setting the international standard for above-the-knee amputees at a marathon in Arizona.
Dukat's time of 4 hours, 40 minutes, 46 seconds at the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Phoenix shattered the previous mark held by teammate Sarah Reinersten of 5:27:04, according to her team.
"After the 20th mile, I definitely did a lot of praying," Dukat said of the 26.2-mile race. "The last few miles were kind of a blur."
Dukat, 36, already owns a triathlon world record for above-the-knee amputees, set at last year's world championships in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is a two-time world triathlon champion and a three-time Paralympic skiing bronze medalist in the slalom and super-G.
But Sunday's race was her first marathon.
"My coach put the plan in place, and I followed it," Dukat said.
She trains with Team A Step Ahead, a New York-based squad of amputee athletes coached by Dave Balsley. Teammate Amy Palmiero- Winters, who paced Dukat in Phoenix, holds the world record for below-the-knee amputees.
"It really excited me that with some experience I can get under that mark," Dukat said.
Her next goal, she said, is to break 4:30, perhaps at the Chicago Marathon or Denver Marathon later this year.
"It's one of those things I've always had in my head as a challenge," Dukat said.
Dukat was born without a thigh bone and had her right leg amputated when she was 4. She went on to become a world champion in the 400- and 800-meter freestyle events as a member of the U.S. Paralympic swim team from 1997-99.
She moved from Chicago to Winter Park, and then Vail, as a member of the U.S. Ski Team from 2001-07. She won two bronze medals at the Salt Lake City Games in 2002 and another in Turin in 2006.
After retiring from the U.S. Ski Team in 2007, she moved to Denver and started training for marathons in October. Less than four months later, she was a world-record holder.
"She's very modest about it all," Palmiero-Winters said. "I think it'll be a long time before someone comes along to challenge her. She's a dominating factor."
Dukat said the next competition on her schedule is the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco in June.
"I'm impulsive. If it comes up and seems like the right time, I'll do it," she said.

I have to admit, when I see wild rats, my first instinct would be to call a San Francisco exterminator; while domestic rats can make wonderful pets, their wild cousins aren't nearly so friendly, and they are a major public health issue. I guess it's a good thing I'm not on the Dutch police force, because I'd be hauled up in a discipline meeting for plotting against my coworkers!
Dutch police have recruited brown rats to help them in their forensics departments. See full article.

Gary Robertson, historical interpreter, will perform as Mark Twain at the Friends of the Library, Dinwiddie spring meeting on Monday, May 5 at 7:00 p.m. Prepare yourself for an evening of insights and stories from the entertaining Mr. Twain. Refreshments will be served. The Dinwiddie Historical Society will provide the venue at the Historic Dinwiddie Courthouse, adjacent to the Dinwiddie Library.
Mr. Robertson, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Richmond, has been a newspaper reporter for The Richmond Times-Dispatch, director of special projects for Virginia Commonwealth University, an adjunct professor of journalism at Randolph-Macon, and a disc jockey. He says that channeling Mark Twain is his favorite pursuit.
Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910), is an American legend — steamboat pilot, novelist, and the nation's most celebrated storyteller. As a man who could make anybody laugh, he always sprinkled his humorous sayings with a little vinegar. "Heaven goes by favor," Twain said. "If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." He scolded politicians, praised the common man and found humor in nearly everything. As Twain would say, "The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."

What Mud Can Do - Page 2
Photo by Matthew Reitman - Founders of Hope for Hope, Daniel Reitman and Chipeng Liang, jump into a mud pit during the October 20th tough mudder.
"We're giving people an even playing field by allowing strength to actually play a factor," says Rogers. "So the endurance athletes don't always have the upper hand."
The goal of CMC is to allow civilians to run alongside military in one day of competition. Rogers and his co-founder, Matt Keller, have done marathons, triathlons and other athletic events to raise money for different military charities.
CMC raises money for Heroes of Tomorrow and Operation Homefront. Heroes of Tomorrow is a program that hires veterans to offer free training to future recruits to prepare physically before they serve our country. Operation Homefront offers services for military personnel on their return home, including transitional housing, auto-repair and financial assistance.
"We wanted to focus on the military in a way no other races had," says Rogers. "So, before and after. That was our goal."
The race allows runners to try their hand at 20 to 30 military obstacles throughout the five miles.
"My favorite thing about CMC is when a person overcomes a fear, whether it be the pit or the course itself," says Rogers.
When the runners finally pull themselves up, or get pushed up the vertical 12-foot wall, they turn around and offer a helping hand to the next person. These racers are doing more than just helping each other finish. They are also helping charities worldwide.

To the '60′s and Back
The following blog was written by Katie Baldwin.
Who doesn't love a themed party? On June 25th, George Eastman House hosted a Mad MenTM-themed party to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Kodak Colorama. Colorama is an exhibition of the famous Kodak advertisements that were displayed for the world to see in Grand Central Station for forty years, from 1950-1990. The selected images on display at the museum are all from the 1960s. Mad MenTM is an Emmy-award winning television show set in the 1960s that centers on the executives who work at high-powered New York City advertising agency.
The themed party at Eastman House was like stepping back in time. There were vintage cars, vintage clothing, vintage furniture, 60s style food and drinks, candy cigarettes and cigars, jazz music, and of course, the exhibition of Colorama photographs was open for viewing. The entire feel of the party aligned perfectly with the premise, costumes, and historical references featured in Mad MenTM. Guests ranged in age from young professionals to those who remember the '60s firsthand.
A highlight of the evening was being part of a "modern Colorama" photography shoot. Steve Kelly, the only Colorama photographer still working at Kodak, helped direct this era's take on the Colorama with help from his wife, Michelle Hallen-Kelly (the only female Colorama photographer). Guests dressed in 60s-style outfits, held martinis and vintage cameras, as they posed in the museum's Towson Terrace Garden.
Colorama is up through October 17th so if you're looking for something to do or a place to bring out-of-town visitors, consider adding the museum to your list of places to visit (did I mention Eastman House sells gelato in the café, too?). For all you Mad MenTM fans, be sure to catch the season four premier on Sunday, July 25th at 10:00 p.m. on AMC.

Memorable Memorial DayPosted Wednesday, May 30, 2012, at 7:46 PM
Everyone has someone to remember and Honor on Memorial Day, whether they realize it or not. Hopefully, we all cherish memories and hold them close to our hearts.
Memorial Day is definitely about Honoring the Military .... those gone and those still serving. They have helped to give us the ability to have the lives we lead, and leave to our Children.
I have family that I always think of. On their Birthdays, Holidays, and many other days. Grandparents who I loved and who made me feel cared for. Though I of course, miss them, from the time they left, it's not an agony that can't be born. I have friends who've gone ahead,.... but what really takes me to a place of my own, is longing for a Sister and my first born daughter. They are now together, and for me Memorial Day is really about them, and bringing my family that I can, together as often as I can. Family isn't just about 'blood' ties, but chosen 'ties' The following photos, show the 'ties' that I've chosen, and the ties that have always been.
I hope you Remembered Yours also
Some came early to ride.... and of course, they rode
Big brother giving little brother a ride
Wayne of course, has to torment children with 'accidental' water spray
Our front yard is ready to party!
Kind of happy with how the Cedar Siding is looking
And people start to arrive.... this is how to make memories, that you'll never have to say "I wish I'd spent more time with....."
Obviously, I like to take photos, but photos do more than just show what happened. They trap this moment in time, never to be forgotten.
Take photos!
The people in these photos, join several families, some by blood, some not. But the ties are permanent, either way.
Some of you know the people below. Al, Keith, Ardie, Jess, Sig, Mike, JoAnn
Father and Daughter
After eating, we all head to the back, to do some games and play.... making the day even more Memorable.
Evan roping Jilly, but she jumps like a rabbit right over the rope!
Keith (KT) being amazed at the size of the Gentle Giant, while about to be given an early Thanksgiving Goose by Marshmallow! Notice how we just take the picture without warning him.
The Bazookaman meeting Beamer & Marshmallow, note he isn't as enthralled maybe as I am, with them. heheheh
This is a photo capture "Red Handed" so to speak, of Bryce using a chair to be able to reach high enough to pick unripe Apricots out of my tree! I thought they'd been falling, but now.....note the "hanging head of the guilty"
A friend from High School....see ....I never let go
This KillDeer has a nest in the middle of my horse field. That is an egg under her, and she's all fluffed up, trying to get me to leave. But she didn't budge! I reached my finger out to show that I was that close, and I was a bit intimidated by her! Her Beak was aimed at my poor defenseless finger!
Yep, KT is BSing his father in law...I'm sure of it
Father & Daughter having a little bareback ride. This makes MY heart happy
Happy Friends. These 2 have had experiences (which give me experiences) in the last few weeks, which surely remind them how we shouldn't take Life for Granted. I love them both, and have spent some time in the Hospital with both of them recently. THESE are reasons to not "wait to get together"
Bryce just loves this water faucet..... LOL
I managed to rope Jilly by one foot.....
If you aren't making memories like these.... Get on it!
Not one of us related by blood.... but the ties just as permanent.
There is no way that Bryce doesn't know how loved he is. And he will remember these simple times of Appreciation.
Just as Jilly will, with her new friend.
Don't let these times slip by. It's summer time now, so it's the perfect time to plant a garden or some flowers, and watch them grown, with friends and family.
Sow the seeds now ... for a Lifetime of Memories

I was a little weepy and sad over the weekend. I guess I got homesick for the Sego Lilies. Great Blog. You always cheer me up.

Happy to do so for you Bonnie....
Memorial Day is a time to be weepy, .... but don't let's dwell on it.... So much to live and make more memories for!

You are so right. I just have that dark friend visiting me right now and it is a struggle.
Trying to think of something inspirational to write about this week.
Love the family pics.

That was a good time! I may even have to show up at the next one :)
On a side note, don't know if Donna told you or not but, we will be at training this Sunday.
Again, thanks for inviting us, Jessie. We had such a great time.

Nice pictures and it looks like a grand old time.
-- Posted by skeeter on Fri, Jun 1, 2012, at 8:54 AM
I'm glad you came Keith, so I didn't have to send the posse to wrangle you.
Skeeter, it was a great time!

Hello Jessie,
I am sorry for contacting you here. I just bought a horse and was told by the owner that she took lessons from you. I was hoping to get some information. The horse's name is Nelly and she is a solid black paint.
thank you,
Karen Rogers

You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.
