Is Your Concept Feasible?
January 9, 2015 by Akira Hirai
The start of a new year brings thoughts of new beginnings. For some of us, that might mean thoughts of turning our ideas into businesses. We've all had "Eureka!" moments when we come up with bright ideas for that proverbial better mousetrap. If only we could build it, the world would surely beat a path to our door to buy it. A sure thing! In reality, new businesses are never sure things. In fact, most business ventures fail. And that usually means entrepreneurs go through tremendous hardship with little to [Read More]

Craigslist Posting Service
Craigslist is a popular classified website that is most commonly associated with the buying and selling of goods. This is true, but there is much more to the website. Craigslist Posting Service You can also use Craigslist Posting Service to find services, such as auto repair, computer repair, freelance writers, and more. In fact, whatever service you need, you can find a quality individual to help you on Craigslist. How?
To perform a standard search on Craigslist, you visit the website and select your state and city. This could be Tennessee and Chattanooga. Look to the left-hand side of the page and you will see a search box. Change the search settings from "for sale," to "services." Then, search for what you need.
The only problem that you may run into is location. If you live in between two different cities or are willing to travel to get a good, affordable service, you may need to search other cities too. Unfortunately, Craigslist prohibits multi-city and statewide searches. You would have to visit each location page separately. This takes and wastes time. If you want to quickly search services, like auto repair or computer repair, with ease, download a free Craigslist search tool. You can search multiple cities, entire states, or nationwide listings at once!

Making Sense of the July Swoon
July was not kind to equity investors. In response to widening subprime worries and a continued weakening of new- and existing-home sales and prices, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell 3.2% on the month, while the S&P MidCap 400 declined 4.4%, and the S&P SmallCap 600 slumped 5.1%. Eight of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were in the red, with Financials posting the largest decrease of 8%. Energy and Industrials were the only gainers on the month.
Year to date, all three benchmarks and eight of the 10 sectors are still in the black, with Energy, Industrials, Materials, and Telecom Services showing double-digit advances. International benchmarks also slid in July, with the MSCI-EAFE index off 2% and the MSCI-Emerging Markets index down 1%. At this point, all we can happily say is "Bye-bye July!"
But don't get your hopes up just because we've entered a new month. The S&P 500 posted its worst average monthly performances in February, August, and September, the only months since 1945 to record declines. As a result, the S&P 500 recorded its worst results during the third quarter, implying that we are at just the beginning of a seasonally weak period.
Sell-Off Semantics
On July 19, both the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 set all-time closing highs: the DJIA at 14,000.41 and the S&P 500 at 1553.08. Since then, these indexes suffered pullbacks of 5.6% and 6.3%, respectively. Other global indices recorded all-time or recovery highs last month, only to experience similar slides. As I have said in previous articles, S&P's Equity Strategy Group believes we are in the midst of a pullback, poised for a correction but not likely to enter into a new bear market. The difference between these terms is a matter of percentages.
From S&P's perspective, when equity prices fall from 0% to 5%, we believe that's just normal market volatility as investors digest recent gains. We refer to a decline in the 5%- to-10% range as a pullback, which also is a fairly common and not too serious event from an investment psychology standpoint.
Investors begin to feel the pinch when corrections roll around, however, as they lop off 10% to 20% of the market's value. As of July 31, the DJIA, S&P 500, and Nasdaq each fell more than 5% from recent highs. International equity benchmarks, however, as seen in the MSCI-EAFE (a benchmark of non-U.S. large-company stocks in developed countries tracked in an ETF with the ticker EFA, recently trading at $79) and MSCI-Emerging Markets (EEM, $137) are still within the confines of normal volatility. While not as common as pullbacks, every acknowledged bull market since 1970 has had at least one correction within it before resuming the bull market's progress. In fact the bull market of 1990-2000 saw five bull-market corrections.
I say "acknowledged bull market," since I believe an investor has to know that we are in a new bull market before the pain of a correction can be fully appreciated. We experienced a 15% correction in late 2002 to early 2003 after the S&P 500 bottomed on Oct. 9, 2002, but that was before early May, 2003 when the S&P 500 finally advanced 20% from that bear market low and investors knew that we had entered a new bull market.
Brace for the Bear Market Blues?
Bear markets have come along once every four and a half years since 1945. Interestingly, this bull market just passed the four-and-a-half-year mark in early April, so from a calendar perspective, we're due. But I have always said that history is a good guide and never gospel. S&P believes we are not heading for a new bear market, since the economy and market's fundamentals have not changed, in our opinion.
Economically speaking, David Wyss, S&P's chief economist, still believes that the subprime problem—despite continuing to pressure the auto and housing-related industries—will not spill over to the rest of the U.S. economy and throw us into recession. What's more, S&P's equity analysts are still projecting healthy earnings advances for 2007 (we're currently seeing an 8% rise in S&P 500 operating results) and 2008 (+12%).
Finally, we don't think this market will topple under the weight of elevated price-to-earnings ratios. The S&P 500 is currently trading at a p-e of 16.3 times trailing 12-month operating earnings, which is far below the peak of 30 times in 2001 and more than 15% below the average since 1988 (when S&P first started capturing operating results). The p-e falls to 15.4 times on 2007 estimated results and to 13.8 times based on 2008 forecasts. Based on GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), we are trading at a 20% discount to the average since 1988 and less than 200 basis points above the average since 1935.
Fear Led To Downturn
In our opinion, this recent market action has been driven by the fear of an impending recession brought on by 1) slumping housing prices, which will likely generate a cascading impact on consumer sentiment, expectations, and consumption, and 2) the subprime lending woes, which may cause financial institutions to curtail lending practices, thus slowing leveraged buyout activity and limiting corporate expansion possibilities.
Since I have already stated that we don't currently see a recession on the horizon, we believe the best way to get a handle on how far this market's decline will extend is through technical analysis. Mark Arbeter, S&P's chief technical strategist, recently stated that critical support for the S&P 500 lay in the 1450-to-1460 area—the S&P 500's February high. We closed squarely in this area on July 31.
Should we break below this zone, the market will likely be buoyed by long-term chart support, which comes in around 1390, or 10.5% below the recent high of 1553. Below this level, the market may need to retrace its steps to the 1325 area, the "500's" peak in May, 2006, which is nearly 15% below the July 19 high. We currently don't see the carnage extending beyond a mid-correction magnitude.
In all, we believe that while a bull-market correction is likely at hand (and long overdue) we see the economy's and market's fundamentals eventually righting this market before a new bear emerges.

The Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change convenes its 17th session in Durban, the largest city in KwaZulu-Natal in the country of South Africa. It may be auspicious for the role and influence of indigenous peoples in the content of a new climate change treaty that this session opens in the region of the Zulu and the place where human habitation extends 100,000 years and more in the past. The new round of meetings will convene on 28 November and end on 9 December 2011. and delegations of indigenous people and their technical personnel have begun to arrive in Durban.
The 17th Conference of Parties (COP17) will serve as the venue for a series of other supportive and related meeting including:
- Seventh session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 7)
- Thirty-fifth session of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 35)
- Thirty-fifth session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice
- Sixteenth session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for
Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (fourth part) (AWG-KP 16)
- Fourteenth session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (fourth part) (AWG-LCA 14)
Perhaps of equal significance to the Durban venue in Zulu territory is that just little more than a year from the date of this session the Mayan calendar points to the winter solstice (220.127.116.11.0.0) in the Gregorian calender 2012 as the beginning of the Great Cycle..the point of Birth, Death and Renewal. The 13 years leading into the 2012 solstice have been a time a considerable transformation for the world and that transformation will continue for another 13 years from the beginning of the Great Cycle–also the time of Renewal.
We can all hope that these two facts combine to deliver a new global agreement on climate change by the beginning of the Great Cycle.

Campaign arm: Fox merges Bachmann/Palin campaign rally with Hannity show
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
Viewers tuning in to Sean Hannity's April 7 show on Fox News were treated to something unusual, even in the world of cable news. Hannity hosted his show from the Minneapolis convention center, the site of a rally earlier in the day for the re-election campaign of Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann, surrounded by a crowd with "Bachmann" placards.
Hannity was joined on stage by Bachmann, as well as Fox News contributor Sarah Palin. As Hannity noted, Palin had been the "headliner" at Bachmann's rally. The question is: where did the rally end and Hannity's show begin?
Hannity introduced the crowd by referring to the attendees as "conservatives rallying in support of the values that will help the Republican party take back control of the congress this November." In the past Fox has claimed that they had straight news shows separate from "editorial" shows, and while that was a demonstrably false assertion, they clearly need to add a category for "rallies for the Republican party" shows.

Hi, I'm Jody and I live and work in the Custer area. I'm very proud to offer Whitetail Springs Ranch for your enjoyment while you visit the beautiful Black Hills. I live within 2 miles of Whitetail Springs and love to hike, ride horses and fish and kayak in the nearby lakes. Ask me about any of the nearby dining, shopping or attractions, and I'd also be glad to share my favorite hiking and fishing spots. There are tons of "can't miss" backroad spots that will bring you back to the Hills time after time to enjoy.

I manage to get candida under control just by doing a veggie juice regime in her candida diet. I think whoever said they were "cured" is using a misnomer. I don't believe that candida can be "cured" as it exists in our body at all times, but it just gets out of balance. However, I believe that we can manage it. I have done this when I do a veggie juice regime. I ate totally raw foods and lost about 30 pounds in 1 month and wasn't even trying to lose weight although I needed it.
That means you can eat veggies, nuts, and fruits. You have to decide how much fruit your body can take because the fruit can feed the yeast, too. But, apples and watermelon don't seem to offend my body in any way, while raisins and dates do. You can make many things with nuts. You can grind them and make breads, cookies, and crackers. Find a recipe book for this. Be careful of the nuts for two reasons. First, be sure they are fresh and not moldy from being in a bin for too long. Secondly, they are high in calorie so if you are concerned about weight you cannot eat them indiscriminately.
Eating like this, I felt like incredible. I had more energy, my legs stopped hurting, my skin became very clear, my thinking was clearer, and I had no more brain fog. I have gone back and forth on this diet and whenever I stray too far I become foggy again and lose energy. However, it feels very good sometimes to go off it and eat chicken and fish and coffee. I suffer, but I do not die from it. I go back onto raw foods and re-balance my system and start feeling great again. Some people get to the point where they eat 70 percent raw and the rest is their personal plan of whatever pleases them.
I hope this article "Veggie Juice Regime to Manage the Yeast Under Control" has met what you expect to read and that you gain some important information that your are looking for. If you feel that this article is not enough for you, or still missing something, I personally suggest that you get a complete report and also great support for you on cure candida project website.

Re: anyone ever turbo an XLR
As said the 07+ XLR can be tuned with HPTuners or EFI live among others. The 04-06 cars have a different PCM that is not supported by any of the consumer-level tuning suites. That's why it is a lot easier.
A turbo XLR would be sweet. I'd like to see somebody do it. I'll lend whatever I can if someone does it.

Edwin Abbey
Biography from the Archives of askART
Edwin Austin Abbey was essentially the last in the line of American artists-including Benjamin West, Mather Brown, John Singleton Copley, and Washington Allston-who went to England to pursue history painting and worked their way up the professional ladder to receive the highest honors at the English court. The path he took, however, was distinctly different from his artistic forebears.
Abbey didn't start to paint in oil until he was 40 years of age. Before that time, he had distinguished himself as an illustrator, becoming one of that field's most celebrated talents at a time when the publishing industry and its use of commercial illustration rapidly ascended to prominence. Born in Philadelphia, Abbey first studied art at the age of fourteen, when he took lessons from Isaac L. Williams, a local portrait and landscape painter. Two years later, he entered the publishing firm of Van Ingen & Snyder, for whom he worked as an apprentice draftsman, and enrolled in night classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 1870, Abbey moved to New York, the publishing center of America, to seek work as an illustrator. In 1870, Harper's Weekly published its first drawing by Abbey, and the following year the Harper & Brothers publishing company hired him as a full-time house illustrator. Abbey became an active presence in the art clubs of New York, exhibiting for the first time at the American Water Color Society in 1874, and helping to found the Tile Club along with five other younger artists in 1875.
Abbey remained with Harper & Brothers until 1878. During that time, he evinced a preference for literary subjects from Renaissance England. Abbey had fallen under the spell of England and its potential for representation in the fine arts while a student at the Pennsylvania Academy. His teacher there, Christian Schuessele, was a noted exponent of Shakespearean themes. But beyond Schuessele's direct influence, Abbey as a student embarked on a long and passionate study of the work of the British Pre-Raphaelites, including especially William Holman Hunt, Sir John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, although he did not wholeheartedly emulate their practices. While he was seduced by the truthful, realistic style of the Pre-Raphaelites, Abbey once said that his goal was "the representation of events not as they might be supposed to poetically to have happened, but as they really might have happened" (Lucas, op. cit., p. 189)-he rejected the social relevance for which the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood strove.
Above all, Abbey's fascination lay in the grand, medieval costume scenes and literary allusions of Rossetti and the younger members of his coterie of followers, Edward Burne-Jones and Val Prinsep. These modern-day British medievalists' large-scale, sumptuously colored canvases served as Abbey's guiding light throughout his career.
In 1878, sensing perhaps that Abbey's talents would be best served by visiting England, Harper & Brothers sent him on what would prove to be a fateful trip to that country, where he was to immerse himself in England's literary past as research for a series of illustrations based on Robert Herrick's poetry. With an eye on Herrick but his mind forever thinking of the Bard, Abbey traveled to Stratford-on-Avon before settling in London for the winter. He stayed abroad for two years, living principally in London but also traveling to Paris and Munich, where he studied very briefly with a student of the German academician, Wilhelm Diez. He came back to New York in 1881, but the very next year he returned to England, where he lived and worked for the rest of his life.
Abbey became a fixture in the London art world. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, he was accepted among the Pre-Raphaelite circle as one of their own. He also befriended two other Americans who expatriated themselves to England, Frank Millet and John Singer Sargent. He was elected a member of the Royal Institute of the Painters in Water Colour in 1883, and in 1885, he exhibited a drawing for the first time at the Royal Academy. In 1888, Abbey had his first show in England when he exhibited with Alfred Parsons at the Fine Arts Society, London.
Abbey married Mary Gertrude Mead in New York in 1890, and, the following year, the Abbeys moved into "Morgan Hall," a splendid house in the town of Fairford, in Gloucestershire, England, where Abbey had summered since 1885. Abbey's work continued to grace the pages of magazines and books in England and America, and he achieved a reputation as one of the finest and most popular illustrators of his day. But despite the fame accorded him as an illustrator and the security that this provided, Abbey perhaps sensed that in order to achieve true greatness, he would have to distinguish himself in the highest realm of the fine arts, oil painting.
Abbey's first oil painting was "May-Day Morning" (1890-94, Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut), a large, richly colored canvas of two figures strolling through a walled flower garden. This was exhibited at the Royal Academy that spring, the first appearance of his work at that institution since he showed a drawing there in 1885. Abbey's first decorative project was "A Game of Bowls", a mural done in 1890 for the Hotel Imperial in New York through the connection of the American architect, Stanford White, who designed the building. Thus began a long and productive association between the painter and the architect. (The mural is now in the New York Racquet and Tennis Club, which was designed by McKim, Mead & White.)
In 1890, with only two oil paintings behind him, Abbey received the commission for the greatest work of his career: he was to join John Singer Sargent and the great French artist and decorator, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, to provide a series of decorations for the newly built Boston Public Library. The library was designed by McKim, Mead & White, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens was put in charge of the interior decorations. Saint-Gaudens approached Abbey with the commission to paint fifteen panels for the Library's Delivery Room. Abbey accepted, and expanded his studio at Morgan Hall to accommodate the massive project, and he and Sargent worked side-by-side on their respective components of the commission in its spacious interior. Abbey settled on the subject of the legend of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. The Boston Public Library commission was hailed as a major triumph, and it vaulted Abbey into the forefront of American art. He was hailed as a living old master, and he rapidly became one of the most sought-after talents the field of decoration.
Over the next two decades, Abbey distinguished himself as the preeminent American decorative painter and muralist, and he received a host of honors, awards, and distinguished commissions. In 1897, Yale University awarded Abbey an honorary Master of Arts degree, and in 1902 the University of Pennsylvania conferred the honorary degree of LL.D. upon him. In 1898 he was elected a Royal Academician following the smashing success of his The Play Scene in "Hamlet" (1897; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut), which was shown at the Academy the previous year. Also in 1898, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts acknowledged Abbey's eminence in the field of art by presenting him with its Gold Medal of Honor.
In 1900, Abbey exhibited his "Hamlet" in the American Section at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, where it garnered a gold medal. In 1901, Abbey was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design, New York, and was also elected president of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. In 1902, King Edward VII made Abbey official court painter of the King's coronation, and that same year he accepted a prestigious commission to decorate the new state capitol at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In 1904, Abbey was elected president of the Bath Society of Artists, and 1905 he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
A tireless worker, Abbey suffered a physical breakdown in 1906. Although he spent six months traveling in an effort to heal, Abbey never fully recovered, and after a protracted illness of several months, he died in London in 1911. That year, a huge exhibition of over 300 works selected by his dear friend, John Singer Sargent, was shown in a memorial exhibition at the Royal Academy. Conscious of Abbey's lifelong identification as an American artist, Abbey's widow, Gertrude, donated a huge cache of some 2,000 of Abbey's paintings, pastels, drawings, and prints to the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut, in 1931.
One of the most important private commissions of Abbey's career was a decorative panel for the dining room of the New York house owned by Whitelaw Reid, editor-in-chief and chief proprietor of the New York Tribune. The commission came at an intensely busy period for Abbey, as he was at that time still working on a number of projects, including the Boston Public Library commission; a mural measuring 17 x 11 feet for the Royal Exchange, London; and his celebrated The Play Scene in "Hamlet".
Whitelaw Reid was a prominent and distinguished public figure in national and international politics. In addition to his highly influential role as an editor of one of New York's most important newspapers, Reid served as the United States minister to France (1889-92); the Republican Party's nominee for Vice President (1892); Special Ambassador to the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria of England (1897); a member of the American commission to negotiate peace with Spain (1898); Special Ambassador to the Coronation of King Edward II (1902); and the United States ambassador to Great Britain (1905-12). He died in London in 1912.
In November 1886, Reid and his wife, Elisabeth Mills Reid, the daughter of San Francisco banker Darius Ogden Mills, purchased one of the six residences in the famous Villard House for $350,000. The house stands on Madison Avenue in New York and was designed by Joseph M. Wells of the architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White. Originally built by, and named after, railroad financier Henry Villard (1835-1900) in 1881, the Italianate Villard House, actually a set of six townhouses designed to appear as a single dwelling, was modeled after the stately and somewhat austere Palazzo Cancelleria in Rome, and became one of the most sumptuous and spectacularly decorated mansions of the Gilded Age.
Each of the houses received different decorative treatments, but the greatest attention was lavished on Villard's own house, the same house that the Reids purchased after Villard filed for bankruptcy in 1883. However, the ambitious decorative program originally planned for Villard's own house had only been half-completed by the time the Reids took ownership of the property. They soon embarked on an expansive series of renovations and decorations that were more in accord with their own taste-and in the process greatly upscaled the plans for the already imposing domicile.
For the new decorations, Reid turned to Stanford White to oversee personally the planning and design. The original design of the dining room of the Reid/Villard House was mostly left intact, except for the addition of a number of electric lights to replace the gasoliers that had previously illuminated the luxurious interior. The room's original decorations included an ornate decorated ceiling executed by Francis Augustus Lathrop (1849-1909), a student of Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris and Abbey's neighbor in New York in the mid-1870s, and featured two elaborate fireplace installations designed by Augustus and Louis Saint-Gaudens. On one end of the wood-paneled room was a wall done entirely in marble, with three figures carved in relief above the fireplace and two recessed basins on either side, while at the other end of the long room was another similarly ornate fireplace that projected prominently into the room. The major addition to the ensemble was Abbey's decorative panel, "A Pavane", commissioned expressly for the dining room, to be installed over the latter fireplace.
The genesis of "A Pavane" is documented in a number of oil studies, drawings and pastel sketches made by Abbey in preparation for Reid's panel that are now in The Edwin Austin Abbey Memorial Collection at Yale. These sketches, which range from simple charcoal drawings to a full-blown study in pastel, gold paint, and gouache that is half the size of the final canvas, provide an extraordinary record of the formal development of the Reid commission. Further insight into the painting's creation can be gained from a series of letters from Whitelaw Reid to Stanford White (Aline and Eero Saarinen Papers, op. cit.), which chronicle the Reids' response to the work and document several important changes to the composition that were made at the Reids' request.
The letters show that Abbey came recommended to the Reids through Stanford White, and that it was through White that the communication between the parties was made (this corrects a frequently repeated error that Whitelaw Reid commissioned the painting directly from Abbey). The artist, of course, had already established a strong working relationship with White. Abbey's first decorative project, for the Hotel Imperial, had been secured through Stanford White, and Abbey also had been engaged to produce a decorative panel similar to "A Pavane", known as "Fiammetta's Song" (1894).
At the time of the Reid commission, Abbey, too, was working with White and Saint-Gaudens on the Boston Public Library decorations, the first half of which was put in place in 1895, the remainder of the decorations not to be installed until 1901. White therefore had good reason to recommend Abbey for the Reids' sumptuous new home, and, in a letter to White, Whitelaw Reid expressed his admiration for Abbey and optimism for the project:
"I agree with you that Abbey is a great man. If I hadn't thought so, I shouldn't have authorized the elaborate eulogies he has repeatedly received in The Tribune-especially of late over the Shakespeare. Neither should I accept the price named without some hesitation, if I didn't have your view about his standing. Even in spite of his standing it does look a little big, as compared with the figure of La Farge's commission for two paintings in the music room. But if he will make the picture what I believe he can, I shall be perfectly satisfied" (letter, Whitelaw Reid to Stanford White, December 14, 1895, Aline and Eero Saarinen Papers).
While the price referred to-$5,000-seemed a bit steep even to people as wealthy as the Reids, it did not dissuade them from engaging Abbey for the project.

Biography from the Archives of askART
Born in 1852, the name of Edwin Austin Abbey is related to both contemporary American Art Nouveau* and the Symbolist* movement. He was on staff at
magazine by the time he was 19, and, despite success, recognition and raises, he left to pursue a free-lance career at the age of 22. He returned to Harper's in 1876, at the ripe old age of 24, a wily veteran at the princely sum of $50 a week (more than three times his 1871 initial salary). 1876 was also the American Centennial and one of the many celebratory events was the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition*, which brought a wide selection of European paintings to Philadelphia. Abbey was inspired by the English contingent: Leighton, Watt, Boughton, and others. Already a proponent of drawing from life, he was further inspired by the work of the Pre-Raphaelites*. This led to a journey to England in 1878 in the cause of accuracy in his drawings for Herrick's Poems. He remained there for most of his life.
His pen work, though always excellent, took on a new dimension. The sketching "rambles" he experienced in England with Alfred Parsons and George Boughton reinforced his belief in the value of drawing from the source. His ink drawings were still being engraved on wood, so some of the spontaneity is lost. Like Daniel Vierge, Abbey was quick to see the advantage of "process" reproduction of his pen drawings ("process" being any of several photographic processes that eliminated the engraver's reinterpretation).
While in England he produced illustrations for many Harper's serials including
She Stoops to Conquer
(collected as a sumptuous book in 1887), "
Old Songs
" (right, above), and
Judith Shakespeare
(the first two were also published in book form with Abbey's illustrations). While in Europe, he met and was inspired by the great French and English artists of the day, especially John Singer Sargent. Abbey often lived at his studio in Broadway, and they painted together often. He was also friends with Alma-Tadema, DuMaurier, Whistler, and others. And though he was painting throughout, he still was using the pen as his primary artistic tool. This prowess with the pen led Harper's to assign him a series of illustrations for Shakespeare's comedies in 1887.
After a short trip back to New York in 1889, he immediately returned to England, where the lure of authentic costumes could not be denied. On the trip, he convinced himself that his future should be in oil painting. The Shakespeare illustrations, which would continue until 1909, were executed in many media: pen, oil, watercolor and pencil. These were some of his first published oil paintings and his European experience continued to pay dividends. He also traveled to Italy for more research.
In 1890 he received the commission for the Holy Grail murals at the Boston Public Library. The first half were completed and installed in 1895, the remainder in 1901. That year Abbey was elected President of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
Always a popular artist, in 1902, he illustrated an edition of Oliver Goldsmith's "The Deserted Village". (Goldsmith also wrote "She Stoops to Conquer", one of his earliest successes).
That year, Abbey also accepted his second great mural commission: the new state capitol at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The images for these murals show him working from the nude model and the resultant figure studies, like "Men at an Anvil", leave absolutely no doubt as to his prowess and talent. It's just an oil sketch, circa 1904-08, but the intensity and strength is amazing.
Abbey died in London in 1911 before completing the murals. They were finished by John Singer Sargent. A most excellent biography by E.V. Lucas, with two hundred b&w, mostly photogravure*, illustrations, was published in 1921 titled: "Life and Work of Edwin Austin Abbey, R.A". It is highly recommended. A limited edition with an original Abbey drawing exists.
The research Abbey did for the Harper's Shakespeare Comedies and Tragedies series was put to excellent use in his many award-winning easel paintings. The wrap-around fold-out cover of the 1974 Yale University Exhibition Catalog is from Richard III, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and the Lady Anne, from 1896. (Richard, in red, is proposing to the widow of the man he has just murdered in the midst of the funeral procession.) This catalog is an excellent source of information. It provides some of the few color reproductions I've seen (though "The Illustrator in America" by Walt Reed has two - including Richard...). The many illustrations done for the turn-of-the-century magazines were all reproduced in black and white and were most likely executed in tones rather than color.

Biography from
Caldwell Gallery Hudson
Edwin Abbey, born in 1852 in Philadelphia, was a self-taught illustrator and muralist. He gained hands-on experience by working at a wood engraver's shop, emerging as an artist during the "Golden Age if Illustration" in the last half of the nineteenth century. Abbey studied briefly at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. In 1872 he went to work for Harper's Publishing and then transferred to England a few years later. It was here that he would remain, illustrating poems and literature with highly precise detail. In 1902 Abbey was appointed official court painter of coronation in Westminster Abbey.
Abbey's early work was rooted in naturalism but eventually became more stylized, often depicting flattened figures in a frieze-like arrangement, similar to techniques of Art Noveau. His oil paintings generally favored historical England. Abbey's murals can be seen at the Public Library of Boston, as well as Pennsylvania and Washington. The permanent collection is held in New Haven Connecticut.
Biography from Pennsylvania Capitol Preservation Committee
Edwin Austin Abbey was one of the most celebrated artists of his day. Born in Philadelphia, he briefly studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy under Christian Schuessele. Before he was 20 years old, he was enjoying a brilliant career as an illustrator of poetry and drama for Harper's Weekly. Then in the late 1870s, Abbey left America for England to pursue a career as a large-scale history painter. While in England, he was elected to the Royal Academy and admitted to the elite artistic circle of the Pre-Raphaelites.
As a result of his growing reputation at home and abroad, Abbey was about to undertake what would become his most famous commission. He was invited by American sculptor Auguste Saint-Gaudens in 1890 to produce the mural cycle The Quest for the Holy Grail for the McKim, Mead and White Boston Public Library, which was completed in 1901.
When Abbey was given his largest commission in 1902 to decorate the Rotunda, House and Senate Chambers, and the Supreme and Superior Court Room in the Pennsylvania Capitol, the artist knew that this monumental project inaugurated a new phase in his career. Thus he turned all of his energies to this project which he saw as his personal tribute to Pennsylvania and its history.
Abbey executed the Capitol murals in his studio in England. By the spring of 1908, all murals for the Rotunda were complete. They were exhibited at the University of London, where they received the highest acclaim. King Edward VII himself expressed regret that these magnificent paintings were leaving England. By 1909, the murals for the Capitol Rotunda had been shipped to Harrisburg and were leaving England. By 1909, the murals for the Capitol Rotunda had been shipped to Harrisburg and were placed at the collar of the dome. Four large circular canvases, fourteen feet in circumference, were installed in the pendentives. The four huge crescent-shaped murals, measuring 38 feet by 22 feet, were placed in the lunettes of the Rotunda.
When Abbey died suddenly in 1911, his widow administered the completion and installation of the House murals. The artist had completed three works for the House: The Apotheosis of Pennsylvania, Penn's Treaty, and The Hours, the latter of which is located on the ceiling. The Reading of the Declaration of Independence for the House Chamber had been partially completed. This painting was finished by Ernest Board, a member of Abbey's studio, under the supervision of John Singer Sargent. Only one mural had been executed for the Senate chamber entitled The Camp of the American Army at Valley Forge, February 1778. This painting, completed in 1910, had originally been placed in the Senate Chamber. As a result of Abbey's untimely death, it was removed and relocated onto a north wall in the rear of the House of Representatives' Chamber where it remains today.

Atlantic Salmon were first introduced into Tasmania in 1864 but they did not flourish. One-hundred-twenty years later, 115,000 Atlantic Salmon ova were shipped to a hatchery in Tasmania. This became the beginning of a new industry. Tasmania has a distinct quality advantage over competitors due to its pristine unpolluted farming waters, disease free environment and excellent all year round farming conditions. Tasmanian salmon justifiably command a price premium over all other Atlantic farmed salmon because of this quality, which is acknowledged in the most discerning seafood market of all, Japan.
