Support for PECFN'S Ostrander Point Appeal Fund
Industrial Wind Turbines in the South Shore Important Bird Area
By John F. Foster
In the Quinte Peninsula, there is a plan to put Industrial Wind Turbines in the South Shore Important Bird Area. Two proponents are planning to build the Industrial Wind Turbines in the Important Bird Area. On public land adjacent to Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area, Gilead Power Corporation of Peterborough is planning to place nine 2.5 megawatt Industrial Wind Turbines at Ostrander Point. Their proposal for the Industrial Wind Turbines in the South Shore Important Birding Area was approved by the Ontario Government in late December, 2012. There is an appeal of the approval being made by the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists.
See the following Internet Source for a map that shows the location of the South Shore Important Birding Area: http://www.ibacanada.ca/maps/sites/ON003.pdf
The South Shore Important Bird Area is part of the Natural Legacy 2000 Program, a nationwide initiative to conserve wildlife and habitat. This is supported by the Canadian Government through the Millennium Partnership Program. The South Shore Important Bird Area (IBA) is second only to PointPeleeNational Park as an important route/stopover for migrating birds.
Most Southern Ontario coastal habitat has been developed for human use. By planning to locate two Industrial Wind Turbine sites in the middle of the South Shore IBA, biodiversity, migratory birds and bats and alvar habitat are needlessly jeopardized.
There are several reasons for protecting the South Shore Important Birding Area:
a) important local migration route for thousands of birds and bats;
b) migration route for species at risk i.e. Golden Eagle, Saw-whet Owl, Whip-poor-will, and Tree Swallow;
c) migration route and stopover place for Raptors and Owls;
d) alvar habitat that supports alvar specific plants and animals;
e) forest home to declining insectivores, amphibians and turtles i.e. Blanding's and Common Musk;
f) Ostrander Point forms an area of natural shoreline habitat.
If you would like to donate or support the Ostrander Point Appeal Fund, send your contribution
payable to the Ostrander Point Appeal Fund. The contact information for the Fund is:
Ostrander Point Appeal Fund, c/o Myrna Wood, 59 King Street, Unit 2, Picton, Ontario K0K 2T0.
Web site for the fund is: http://www.saveostranderpoint.org/
The South Shore Important Birding Area is not compatible with Industrial Wind Turbines. I hope the decision to place the Industrial Wind Turbines in the South Shore Important Birding Area will be overturned on appeal of the Ontario Government's approval of the proposal. Your donation and support in this cause is greatly needed. Good birding.

How to comment on Gilead Power Ostrander Point new EBR posting
Earlier this week Gilead Power Corporation's application for a Wind Energy Project at Ostrander Point was deemed complete by the Ministry of the Environment. The Ostrander Point Project was posted on the Environmental Bill of Rights registry (EBR) on November 30 with an advisory of a 60-day comment period commencing immediately and ending January 29, 2012.
Canada Post letters and individual emails create more impact
We encourage you to submit comments about the Project. However we do have a few words of advice. You will notice on the EBR posting that the Ministry of the Environment is allowing you to send comments electronically. This is provided under the pretext of providing convenience to you.
We have learned from previous experience with the EBR posting for Gilead Power's application for a permit to kill, harm and harass species at risk at Ostrander Point that your response will have more impact if you write letters or send emails to Shannon McNeill Senior Project Evaluator MOE and to others as well, including Premier McGuinty, the Minister of the Environment, the Minister of Natural Resources, the Minister of Energy, etc. To be even more effective, we encourage you to submit your comment electronically AND by letter or email. This will ensure your comments reach as many people as possible and keep MOE busy. Contact information is provided at the end of this email.
PrinceEdwardCounty's internationally-recognized IBA is a "super-highway" for migratory birds and bats: hundreds of thousands of birds pass through this IBA during spring and fall migratory seasons. The IBA provides a safe haven for birds that arrive in the spring exhausted after a strenuous trip across the lake and provides a feeding ground in the fall so they are able to build up their strength for their journey south. The IBA is critical in terms of biodiversity: according to Environment Canada 300 species of birds have been recorded atPrinceEdwardPoint, including some on the federal endangered species list. We have some understanding now of the impact this project will have on certain species at risk such as the Whip-poor-will and Blanding's Turtle but what of other turtle species, other wildlife.
The construction of the wind turbines and 5.4 k of permanent access roads to the turbines will disrupt habitat and result in injury and mortality from vehicular collisions. We have learned from other such projects that wildlife will leave the area. If this Project moves forward we believe that it is only a matter of time before this area of great biodiversity becomes a barren wasteland. There are many reasons why this Project should not be approved.
Mike Lord at Gilead Power Corporation recently said "the objective of this project is not to have any impacts to the birds at all." It could be said that the objective of Gilead Power Corporation's studies is to show that this project will not have any impacts to the birds at all. Gilead's studies are the products of selective reporting: sweeping generalizations, conclusions based on insufficient data and objective-sounding analyses. When you submit your comments, insist that the Ministry of the Environment undertakes a proper study of bird and bat mortality.
As you already know the SSC is considering legal action. The protection of endangered species is embedded in the laws ofOntarioand the damage that has already been done without the requisite permit has not as yet been addressed. We will update our members on any new developments in this regard.
The best Christmas gift for our endangered species
We know that December is a busy time of year for everyone. However, when you are writing gift lists, or sending Christmas cards or other holiday greetings, and already have pen, paper and stamps at hand, remember to send your written comments to the parties listed below. It may be the best Christmas gift you will give or receive this year – hope for our endangered species.
The deadline for your comments is January 29, but please do it now. You may also forward this post to like-minded friends.

Yes, once upon a time, I was one of those girls. I made friendship bracelets.
I loved it. It didn't require much brain power (at least not most of the time), but it occupied my hands while I was half-entertained by the TV. I started with just normal braids. I'd been doing this in my hair, my My Little Ponies' hair, wherever, for years, so these came very naturally. I'd tie a knot and then sit on the floor with my legs bent, holding the knot between my heels. I like tight braids, so I was pulling hard the entire time. My legs had to pinch fairly hard a good deal of the time to avoid the bracelet slipping out of my grip.
Then, at some point, my mother found a pamphlet from DMC (the company that makes embroidery thread, not the one that made cars) with a few friendship bracelet patterns new to me. I learned them all, and made at least one of each. I liked the wave fairly well. It didn't steal too much brain power from watching my shows (frequently Discovery Channel type shows), but made a fairly nice pattern. Those are in the order I made them - the red and green one first, the one with the silver in it last.
Next came the snake. I hated the snake - I made one and a half, total. That blue and orange is the first one I made - I always chose colors I didn't like as much for the first one, just in case I messed up. I wouldn't be so upset I "wasted" those colors. I really love the colors in that purple and gold, and yet I still never managed to finish it. The snake just feels too loose to me.
I hated the fish when I made it. I don't like eating fish and I didn't like the pattern. Now, however, that's my favorite of the three. I'm wishing I made more - perhaps I will. I still have plenty of thread.
Eventually, I came to the conclusion that these patterns were too complex for what I was looking for, but I was bored with normal braids and the "standard" knot. I started experimenting with multi-strand braids, doing up to 5 strings in a flat braid. I wasn't very fond of these, though; I felt like they had an amateurish look. Someone (I've forgotten who, shame on me) introduced me to round braids. These... Oh, these were the thing. They were done with loops of string, instead of straight threads, and each loop fit on a finger. It was a simple pattern of moving threads from one finger to the next, over and over again. And it looked good when completed. This was exactly what I was looking for. I made a ton of these. I ended up making these in school. I gave these away (which I almost never did with my other braids - I never felt "right" giving those away, somehow).

Title: Cucina del Sole: a Celebration of Southern
Italian Cooking
Author: Nancy Harmon Jenkins
Hardcover $29.95 US/$37.95 CAN
Publisher: 2007 William Morrow, HarperCollins Publishers, NY, NY
Reviewed by, David Strock, November 2010
The review---
You're a fan of Italian food, but you're not
sure where to go beyond spaghetti, marinara sauce, and lasagna.
Nancy Harmon Jenkins has picked out a piece of her vast
knowledge of Mediterranean foodways and put together a cookbook
on southern Italian food, Cucina del Sole. Even northern
Italians will agree that the south of Italy produces the best in
Italian cuisine. I first picked up this book when I reunited
with a group of friends six months after traveling to Sicily
together. I had brought bottarga di tonno back with me, which I
had bought in a Palermo street market. Simply put, bottarga is
the salted and dried roe sack of the tuna. Jenkins' write-up of
this Sicilian delicacy put us at ease and we prepared it as a
wonderful antipasto.
As for actual recipes, I tried three - panelle (chickpea fritters), minestra de pasta, fagioli, e verdure (Sicilian pasta, beans, and greens), and abbachio ai carciofi (springtime lamb with artichokes). Jenkins cites Anna Tasca Lanza in her description of panelle and the recipe is similar to Lanza's, except that Jenkins adds minced parsley or rosemary to the recipe. I think the recipe is strong enough without the added herbs, but they do add a nice touch. The ingredient list for the minestra de pasta, fagioli, e verdure can seem daunting, but all are crucial to this wonderful dish. The soup is hearty and filling - just the right dish to welcome a weary traveler to your home. The trickiest part was cooking the pasta al dente and not overcooking. If this soup is not going to be served immediately, I would suggest cooking the pasta separately just before serving and adding it to the soup. Two of my favorite foods are lamb and artichokes and albacchio ai carciofi was the perfect dish. This dish required at least three hours of cooking time, so it is not a quick meal, and it must be checked up on every half hour or so. The final result, however, shows what this dish truly is - a labor of love.
Jenkins also provides interesting background on each dish and I was able to learn quite a lot about southern Italian food. With such clear descriptions and instructions, I didn't even miss the lack of pictures in this must-have collection of fabulous recipes.
Recipes tested---!
Chickpea Fritters from Palermo
Anyone familiar with panisses, the crisp, salty Chickpea flour fritters from Nice In the south France will immediately recognize their cousins in these panelle, a favorite street food at Palermo. Sicilian food writer Anna Tasca says they ate examples of "port food," food that traveled from port to port all over the Mediterranean. And they are delicious. Sicilians often eat panelle in a sandwich midmorning marenda, bull prefer them as they come from the fryer, eaten out of hand and as addictive as potato chips.
Make's about 70 Panelle
1 quart cool water
2 cups (1/2 pound) chickpea flour
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely minced flat-loaf parsley or chopped fresh rosemary
Olive oil- preferably extra-virgin, for deep-fat frying
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Add the water to a saucepan set over medium heat. Gradually add the chickpea flour, little at a time, stirring with a wire whisk to get rid of any lumps. By the time all the flour has been added, the water should be very hot but not yet boiling. Continue stirring, adding salt and pepper to taste. Once the porridge has come to a boil, turm the heat down to just barely simmering. Simmer about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge is very dense but grill pouring consistency.
Have ready a cookie sheet measuring about 12 x IS inches, Stir the parsley into the porridge and pour it onto the cookie sheet. Use a spatula dipped in water to smooth it out to a consistent 1/8 inch thickness.
Let cool until quite firm, Cut into triangles, lozenges, or whatever shapes suit your fancy. Heat about 2 inches of olive oil in a frying pan to about 360 F. Using tongs, drop the panelle into the oil, a few at a time, and fry until crisp and lightly golden, turning once. Drain on a rack covered with paper towels. Serve piping hot, sprinkled with coarse sea salt.
Minestra di Pasta, Fagioli, e Verdure
Sicilian Pasta, Beans and Greens
A beany-greeny soup- the Sicilian take on Pasta e Fagioli is sometimes made with a mixture of erred beans and dried favas, but it's perfectly legitimate to make it with dried beans alone, and I prefer it that way. White cannellini beans or red-streaked borlotti beans are good choices, hut almost any bean will make a delicious and hearty soup. If you do use favas, be advised that It will be a much thicker soup, since they will disintegrate into a puree as they cook.
Like most uses of fennel in southern Italian cooking, this should really be flavored with the green sops of wild fennel, but if you lack a good reliable source of wild fennel (and most of us In North Amerce do), use the green tops of cultivated fennel (bulb or Florentine fennel, sometimes sold as "anise') in the produce departments of well-stocked supermarkets. I add a half teaspoon of dried wild fennel pollen to boost the fennel flavor.
Makes 6 to 8 servings
1 cup dried beans, soaked for 6 hours or overnight
1 medium carrot, cut into chunks
1 leek white part only- thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, cut into chunks
1 celery stalk, cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
1 piece parmigiano reggianno rind, if available
1 small dried red chili, crumbled
sea salt
1 cup coarsely chopped wild fennel fronds or cultivated fennel greens plus 1/2 teaspoon dried wild fennel pollen
1 cup slivered green chard or spinach
1 cup slivered green cabbage or kale
1 cup pasta in small shapes
such as ditallni or tubetti-- or spaghetti or maccheroni- broken into 1-inch lengths
freshly ground black pepper
Garnishes (Optional)
Toasted slices of country-style bread
Extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly grated pecorino or parmigiano reggliano
Minced flat-leaf parsley
Fresh whole-milk ricotta. preferably sheep's milk
Drain the beans and turn them into a soup pot preferably one made from terra-cotta, but an enameled cast-iron pot will do. Cover with about 1 quart cool water and set over medium heat. Slowly bring to a simmer, then add the carrot, leek, onion, celery, and bay leaves- Add the parmigiano rind and red chili, cover the pot, and let the soup cook over very low heat, just barely simmering, for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
Remove and discard the bay leaves, then puree about half the soupyou can do this right in the pot, using a stick blender, or or remove about half the soup and puree in a food processor, blender, or food mill. Add the puree back to the rest of the soup.
In a seperate pot bring 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt and then the fennel, chard, cabbage and the pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook util the pasta is tender. Using a slotted spoon, remove the greens and pasta and transfer them to the bean soup, setting aside their cooking liquid. Stir to mix, and if necessary, add some of the cooking liquid from the greens and pasta. If you have extra cooking liquid, keep it aside and add it, if necessary, when you reheat the soup before serving. (Bean soups thicken as they coolthe liquid from the greens and pasta is good for thinning it out again.)
When ready to serve the soup, toast the bread slices and dribble with olive oil. Set the bread slice in the bottom of each serving bowl and pour the soup over it. Garnish the soup with grated cheese and parsley or add a dollop of ricotta to each bowl.

Did you hear what Ashton Carter, the U.S. Secretary of Defence, said about Canada in Davos, Switzerland?
Trudeau didn't have time to meet with Secretary Carter. He was too busy meeting Bono, Kevin Spacey and Leonardo DiCaprio, the actor who is afraid of Alberta Chinooks.
But Carter gave an interview about the military coalition against the Islamic State, and an important meeting that's coming up.
Maybe all the Canadian journalists who followed Trudeau around caught what Carter said? No, I checked, and none of them mentioned it. They were too busy partying, too.
The Rebel doesn't get a billion dollars of taxpayers money each year like the CBC, but we'll fill in the gaps and show you the interview.
After watching that, I can see why the media wanted to focus on Kevin Spacey.

Hello WordPress
I wasn't sure what to make of WordPress in the beginning. I was just getting a pretty good grip on HTML and CSS and now there's PHP. I still don't have a great understanding of it but I'm sure I'm not alone in that. WordPress itself turned out to be not as complicated as it … Continue reading Hello WordPress
It remains to be seen if the tablet PC will replace the smartphone. However, its renaissance is certainly something that can't be ignored. According to one research analyst, over 18 million units of tablet PCs were sold worldwide last year; and the sale of another 50 million units are projected for 2011. I added to … Continue reading Tablet

Now that President Obama has unveiled his package of gun control proposals, the scene shifts to Capitol Hill, where the administration will have to convince enough lawmakers in both chambers to take action. The biggest and most obvious hurdle is in the House, where Republicans have a clear majority and have shown little desire to work with the president.
House Speaker John Boehner didn't immediately attack the president over his gun control proposals, which in the current political climate is noteworthy. Still, his spokesman made it pretty clear that the speaker and his fellow Republicans are in no hurry to take up the issue anytime soon. "House committees of jurisdiction will review these recommendations," spokesman Michael Steel said in a statement to reporters. "And if the Senate passes a bill, we will also take a look at that."

Excellus BCBS Awards Hospitals $26 Million for Quality Improvements
Forty-five upstate New York hospitals and health centers last year earned $26 million in quality improvement incentive payments from us as part of our Hospital Performance Incentive Program (HPIP). In the past 10 years quality performance incentives from us have exceeded $197 million.
"We applaud our hospital partners' not only for their willingness to collaborate with our health plan on methods and measurements to improved health outcomes and patient safety, but also for tying those outcomes to a financial incentive to drive focus in mutually agreed upon quality goals," said Carrie Whitcher, vice president clinical quality at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield.
Eight hospitals in the Finger Lakes Region participated in this program in 2014 including Clifton Springs Hospital, F.F. Thompson Hospital, Highland Hospital, Newark-Wayne Community Hospital, Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Hospital, Rochester General Hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital and Unity Hospital.
"The Excellus BlueCross BlueShield Hospital Performance Incentive Program over the years has recognized Rochester General, Unity and Newark-Wayne Community Hospitals' focus on improvement initiatives important to the care and outcomes of our patients," said Cindy Bileschi, Sr. Director Clinical Regulatory Compliance, Rochester Regional Health System. "We appreciate the Excellus BCBS incentive program's support of our strategic quality goals and the recognition of the creative and hard work of our clinicians that positively impacts the people in our community who come to us for care."
Launched in 2004, the HPIP program evaluates participating hospitals on over 247 performance measures. In 2014, hospitals achieved 88 percent of all target quality levels. In addition to required clinical and patient safety measures, other nationally-endorsed measures and target outcomes are jointly agreed upon by each hospital and the health insurer using benchmarks established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), The Joint Commission (TJC), the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), and others.
Areas targeted for improvement include:
Relevance in upstate New York
In 2010, New York state reported about 108,000 hospital-acquired infections, including 24,000 in upstate New York, according to an Excellus BCBS fact sheet, Hospital Acquired Infections in Upstate New York (PDF). Those hospital-acquired infections led to an estimated 5,000 New York state deaths, 1,100 of which were in upstate New York.
If upstate New York hospitals could lower the number of hospital-acquired infections by even 20 or 40 percent, there would be an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 fewer infections and 200 to 400 associated deaths, the Excellus BCBS report concludes. That would also save upstate New York state hospitals an estimated $68 million to $137 million annually.

I have seen archways similar to this on the exteriors and interiors of a lot of bungalows in Portland. Does anyone know if there is a name for this particular style of archway? I want to put some in my basement and I'm trying to get more information on their correct proportions.

Making Good Progress
I managed to spend a few hours this weekend scraping 3 decades worth of old wallpaper off the dining room walls. You can clearly see where the original moulding used to be. The more I uncover, the more motivated I get to put new moulding back up.
Now I need to decide if I should paint the walls below the plate rail the same color (red) as will be on the upper part of the wall, or if I should put in paneling and paint it the same color as the trim (white). What do you think?

Happy Feet
I'm not the kind of guy who normally gets excited about textiles, but we just got our new bath mat from Restoration Hardware, and I've gotta say.... I LOVE IT! It's so nice having a mat that runs the whole length of the tub on those cold winter mornings. Not only is it big, but it's fabulously thick and soft. In case you're wondering, it's the 30"x50" Tonal rug in "Maize".
That's all for now. I have to go reaffirm my masculinity after a post like that. ;-) Where's that hammer....

Dining Room Light
I thought I'd do a little "retro-blogging" and post a picture of the dining room light we bought a couple years ago. It's made by Robert Abbey, and we got it on clearance from Restoration Hardware (or was it Pottery Barn??). I don't think they make it anymore, but I sure do love it. In fact, I think it's my favorite lighting fixture in the whole house.

Let's Play Wallpaper Detective
I've got a challenge for you all! Here's a picture of my dining room wall taken in the middle of the wallpaper scraping phase. I've studied it closely, and I think I can piece together all of the various incarnations it has taken on over the years. I'll list them out below, and I'll even throw in the first and last ones for you. Your job is to fill in the missing slots, using only this picture (click on it to see a bigger image).
Note: I went ahead and filled in the rest.
Note: I went ahead and filled in the rest.
- 1. Walls: Rusty Red Paint; Trim: Dark Stain (not shown, but deduced from other trim in the room.)
- 2. Walls: Mint Green ; Trim: Dark Stain
- 3. Walls: Mystery Wallpaper* ; Trim: Off-white
- 4. Walls: Gold floral wallpaper ; Trim: Gone!
- 5. Walls: Blue Floral Stripe wallpaper ; Trim: N/A
- 6. Walls: 80's Floral Wallpaper (not shown in this picture); Trim: N/A
- 7. Walls: Devine Blush red; Trim: Devine Icing white (coming soon!)
* #3 was tricky. If you look around the edges of the bare plaster (where the trim used to be) you can see where someone had painted the trim an off-white color. They obviously didn't care about keeping a sharp edge as they painted. That was my clue that there must have been a "mystery wallpaper" that was put up around the trimwork. That layer had to be removed along with the trim before they could put up the gold layer. UPDATE: Read here for the mystery wallpaper Revealed!
Hasn't been a lot happening here
Right now I'm in between projects, more or less. I called Appliance City today and had them come pick up my vintage O'keefe & Merritt stove so they can give it a once-over and tell me what it needs. I started scraping wallpaper in the dining room, but haven't gotten too far on that yet. The most exciting thing I've done lately is attend a trimwork class at the Northwest Woodworking Studio.

Doorbell Finally Mounted
I bought this really cool art-deco doorbell at Rejuvenation's attic sale 2 or 3 years ago and I've been (im)patiently waiting to put it up in the finished kitchen. Well, I finally got around to it. Now it'll probably be another two years before I hook up the button.

The cross is used in many Christian churches as a symbol of the Savior's death and Resurrection and as a sincere expression of faith. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we also remember with reverence the suffering of the Savior. But because the Savior lives, we do not use the symbol of His death as the symbol of our faith.
Our lives must be the expression of our faith. When we are baptized and confirmed, we covenant to take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ. The way we live our lives should demonstrate our love for the Savior and His work.
The only members of the Church who wear the symbol of the cross are Latter-day Saint chaplains, who wear it on their military uniforms to show that they are Christian chaplains.

A place where culture abounds, the country of Viet Nam has managed to dispense with the history of turmoil that surrounds the region. What was once the site of many of the irrationalities of war, has now become a popular tourist destination. The mixture of the old and the new witnessed throughout the country serves to captivate all who visit the area and certainly proves to be quite a spectacle for tourists.
My Son
Once the site of magnificent temples and towering structures belonging to the Champa Kingdom, My Son is, at the present, a remarkable tourist attraction. While one can no longer witness these massive structures in their original splendor, the ruins are still present and one an individual can surely obtain an image of the likeness of the once marvelous edifices. The site was actually named to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites recently as well.
Travel to Viet Nam
The easiest way to travel to Viet Nam is via airplane and while the trip may take some time, finally touching down at the airport in Saigon is certainly worth the long voyage.
Travel within Vietnam
The preferred way to travel within the country is by car but many choose to walk throughout the city of their choosing as the locals are a very hospitable bunch and can serve to make the walk a rather enjoyable undertaking. Cyclo drivers are another option for traveling around the cities of Viet Nam but these can prove to be a little problematic at times.
While there are a significant number of people who speak English, the national language of the country is in fact Vietnamese. Learning some the language during your visit can be quite fun and easy.
Visas are basically required when visiting Viet Nam as getting through customs upon arrival can be somewhat tricky without a visa in your passport.
Food & Drink
A great deal of preparation goes into many of the dishes you will undoubtedly encounter when dining in Viet Nam. Most of these delicious foods possess foreign Vietnamese names and as such it is important to ask questions if you are a finicky eater. Various soup and rice dishes are commonly on the menu of most restaurants in Viet Nam.
Perhaps one of the biggest concerns when traveling is whether or not the destination is a safe place to be visiting. Crime is not of great concern in the country as the level of it is quite low. One must simply take the usual precautionary steps when traveling like keeping an eye on any valuables you may have on you and traveling in groups especially after dark.
The marketplaces in the country can become a little crowded at times and as such shopping can be a little stuffy. However, the streets are basically lined with stores and as such finding some rare or interesting items is quite easy. Virtually anything in the way of shopping that you may be looking for can be found in Viet Nam.
Within the larger tourist destinations of the country there are many things to keep visitors entertained. Recreational facilities abound and cultural events as well as the nightlife are all popular within Viet Nam.

John Oxley's 2nd post on TechDays has raised a couple of questions in his personal email (yes, that email is his personal email). I thought it best if they came in the form of a quick Monday morning post – the week the registration site goes live.
Here they are..
1) "To that point we are committed to supporting you and your development/skills growth.....So, please take advantage of the early bird price as soon as you can." Where is the url to register so I can take advantage of this price?
a. URL coming early next week......just putting the finishing touches on it this weekend. – Keep your eyes on the blog as it will go up there first
2) At HHH Toronto they had many screens so people at the back could see and hear.
a. We're trying to make the rooms more intimate with enough screens and there won't be a big keynote room like there was a HHH....I think the biggest room holds just about 450.... this is really about technical content
3) I need to wake up early and drive to Toronto so having energy drinks like Bawls guarana and full throttle would be great
a. I'm not sure about the energy drinks....yet I will look into it (NOTE: Rodney and Rick are known to have Energy Drinks. Track down the shoes or Hat)
4) A breakfast would also be great because I usually don't have time if I need to rush to Toronto to be there on time
a. We will have a breakfast on both days, morning snacks and coffee at breaks, lunch and afternoon snacks and coffee at breaks
Any more questions? you can keep them coming here in the comments section or use the email link. It drops into 4 mailboxes directly – not just John Oxley's… Be sure to include your real email address if you wish a direct reply.

Program helping make connections (Boston Herald)
By Jenny Jiang | July 16, 2003
Originally published: 7/2003
Wing Koo wants to go back to work, but he needs help.
Like many immigrants, one of the biggest obstacles between the Quincy resident and a job is language: He speaks little English.
But thanks to "Working Connections," a job program funded by the U.S. Department of Labor's faith-based and community initiatives, Koo has access to a bilingual job counselor, job training and language-development classes at the Quincy Career Center.
The initiative has helped reduce bureaucratic snarls that hamper faith-based and grassroots groups from obtaining federal aid for outreach programs aimed at aiding minority populations, said Brent Orrell, director of the U.S. Department of Labor's Center for Faith-Based Initiatives.
Last year, the agency gave $ 1.3 million to the University of Massachusetts-Boston's Institute for Community Inclusion. That money was used to coordinate the job-outreach effort with other community and church groups.
"It made it easier for small organizations like us to apply for grants and that was very helpful, because I know that government grants can be very bureaucratic and we didn't have to deal with a lot of that," said Lydia Lowe, director of the Chinese Progressive Association.
Orrell said the department is working with grant recipients to ensure that the money given to faith-based groups is used to fund social services and programs that are "religiously neutral." Programs also must be available to anyone, regardless of their faith, he said.
"The initiative removes barriers and makes it possible for people to access the services that they need," he said during a meeting yesterday in Boston.

Today the class that has the biggest impact on our economy
is the millennial class. This group, roughly aged between 18 and 34 has
replaced the so-called Baby Boomers as the ones that buy more things and spend
more money. Baby boomers are retiring and saving their money. Yet the real
estate industry has been keeping a keen eye on millennials and wondering when
they'll start buying their first home. Why is there a perception that
millennials are sitting on the sidelines instead of actively searching for real
One big factor is saving up for a down payment. Millennials
can go shopping for a home but once they're told how much down payment they
need to have as well as how much closing costs will be, they have to rethink
their plan. Rents are up in most areas of California and that means less money
each month available to sock back in a savings account. Even for a loan down
payment loan such as an FHA mortgage needing just 3.5% down, that's still a
considerable amount for most. On a $400,000 home, 3.5% is $14,000. And then
there's closing costs.
Student loan debt is also a factor. A college education is
expensive and not everyone is blessed with having parents take care of some or
all of attending college. That means student loans are involved. Any student
can take out a student loan without any regard to credit history or ability to
repay. The loans aren't due while the student is in school but is due once the
student graduates or otherwise stops attending. Coming up with enough funds to
close on a transaction along with student loan payments keeps many at bay.
However, there are loan programs a lender has that can help
address these issues including down payment assistance and grants. Lenders have
access to such programs that can help with down payments and closing costs as
well as provide certain lender credits to offset these fees. In addition, the
lender can help guide the millennial borrower to establish a credit history.
Once millennials discover there are solutions to their perceived road blocks,
home ownership isn't very far away.
For more information or questions about mortgage loans, please call (855) 757-8748.

Interview: Carla Knopp
Do you like this story?
[image, ID 61, 58" x 48", oil on wood, 2009]
1- Did you always want to be an artist growing up? If things had been different, what other field of study (outside of art) do you think you would have considered?
I had a strong enthusiasm for art early on. I became the one in class who could draw, and then art became about skillful depiction and identity. I was clueless about career choices and didn't understand the role of the school guidance counselor. Somewhere in the fog, I realized that illustration was a justifiable art career, so I enrolled at Herron to become an illustrator. At Herron, I rediscovered my original enthusiasm for art, but as I did so, I moved away from applied into studio art. I regained the love, but lost my justification... (hello shame cycle)
I had a bookkeeping job in high school, and would probably have gone into accounting.
2- When I stand looking at your work, it immediately evokes some fantasy and/or alien quality about them. Is this an intentional aspect or theme in your work? What are the ideas, inspiration, motivation behind these works?
Aack! I hate thinking of my work in fantasy genre terms, but it raises an issue. I think there is some disparity between where I'm coming from and how my work looks; how it is perceived. I'm referring to the figurative scene paintings. Currently, these are not my main focus, but they represent my primary painting approach for most of my career.
I paint intuitively, seeking the discovery or the creation of meaningful imagery. I believe this matters. I did not fully believe in this process until I gave up trying to justify it. These landscape/fantasy-scape scenes are, for me as a painter, a morphing paint environment, in which I find metaphors, allegories, and narratives. With this process, I find ideas, sometimes very specific ideas, which I would never have thought of sans the process-prompting. The painted environment I end up with is somewhat of a default; I've not really focused on stylistic concerns (again, I'm addressing primarily pre-2006 work). The form of these paintings has mostly followed their concept-generating function. I only recently realized just how consistently "dreamy" and "fairy-tale-like" are the results stylistically, and as I stated, I sort of hate that.
Lately, I have been working in abstraction, and so have paid more attention to formal and surface considerations. I am assuming this interest in style and paint handling and non-figurative imagery will influence my more figurative work.
3- Do you build these paintings up intuitively, with no clear idea where the work is going or do you begin with a fairly clear concept and idea of how the work will turn out? Do you do preparatory sketches/drawings, photos, studies for these works?
I work intuitively, and really struggle with taking direction, even from myself. So I employ preconditions and frameworks when I want to steer the painting process. A precondition can be as basic as a general color scheme, or even one specific color. I may let my reaction to the various qualities of the chosen color(s) fuel and guide the process.
I'm very interested in frameworks. A good framework will focus the painting process in one way, but will allow me to explore in many other ways. The "Mounts" series seem restricted to a specific subject matter, but are actually products of a very elastic framework. The Mounts are earthwork structures of unknown origin, and unknown, but undeniable, purpose. They could be monuments; they could be memorials... They could be of human or alien or supernatural origin. They may exist as a painted depiction of a fictitious reality, or I may use the very act of painting these structures as a metaphor, for I am "building" them as I paint them. These considerations may compete or co-exist, and may be augmented, or usurped, by all sorts of formal meanders. Anything can happen, separately or simultaneously. It's all held together, both from the viewing end and from the creation side, by a simple subjective framework. That's freakin' liberating.
It's also somewhat deceptive because it reads superficially as a cohesive single intent, when it's really offering multiple artistic possibilities.
I follow an entirely different approach for my day job as a muralist and ornamental painter. I have no problem being very disciplined and restrictive in my commissioned work. I actually enjoy the balance I get here, where I must find the most efficient and direct path to a specific outcome. The pay is also more predictable.
[image, ID 53, 54" x 48", oil on wood, 2009]
4- Can you go into further detail about some of your influences? For example, are you influenced by any specific artists, art movements, writers, etc.?
I like the inventive visual logic of Nozkowski. Brenda Goodman's work is personal and direct, but also is formally explorative. I feel a strong kinship towards her work. I really learned something from two local artists, Ed Sanders and Frederick Grue (the late landscapes). They each worked within an established genre; they were not breaking new ground, not overtly in art historical terms. Yet each managed to find and to signify places of profundity, where we can experience a certain perception, without fully comprehending it. Such work reminds me that individual innovation has various and surprising forms. New experience is generated by individual engagement, in any chosen genre.
Also, I am really inspired by musical artist Iggy Pop. He revels in an honest embrace of his own dumb guy persona. I want to emulate this openness.
5- Is there a specific message you strive to convey to viewers concerning your art?
Short answer is that I don't have a specific message to convey.
I'm just looking for what can happen next, not what will or should happen. (What "will or should happen" are often obstacles, though, which do play a role in my painting process). When I try to work with a tangible message, the process switches over into illustration. Then regardless of how intuitively I may proceed, I'm working towards a known desirable goal. I'm illustrating rather than exploring. It's better when I let the message fall away, or use it as a framework, to trigger an imaginative ramble.
I'd rather go out to where I don't fully understand what's happening, and I even set up intentionally bad, stupid situations to get there. I lose a lot of paintings.
I have to add my point about justification; about liberation from this need. Once you start discovering these artistic territories, where you really are introducing a new experience, you lose the need to justify your work. It no longer needs to provide a definable social function. It no longer needs to be art historically relevant. It no longer needs market success. You realize this individual investigation is not self-indulgence in need of auxiliary justification. You realize that it is a very generous act.
6- How do you think being a painter in the Midwest has impacted your practice, either for good or bad, or do you feel it has had no real impact? Do you question whether you should move elsewhere for the sake of your art career?
I'm most concerned with the best scenario for art-making, and I see my career as a one factor in this goal. In theory the Midwest should be one of the greatest places to make art. The cost of living is low and there really is no single power structure, no deep market, determining our artistic culture. It's pretty easy to maintain an independent perspective and approach to one's art here. I bristle at top-down drives to steer Indianapolis towards a conventional contemporary arts brand. This may be beneficial in some ways, but it needs a bottom-up counter-point.
I don't know that municipal parties can represent the arts any differently, but individual artists can. We can use marketing in a revelatory capacity, not to create an identity brand, but rather as an ongoing attempt to better reveal the truth of our work. This is just a broader application of what we already do as artists. We present a physical incarnation of intangible ideas. I think precise and insistent verbalization is very necessary right now. In a world flattened by a surface reading of content, we can build a meaningful context for our work, just by presenting it thoughtfully, consciously, and conscientiously.
Art offers us a vibrant and expansive human experience. I feel equally equipped to tap into that here in the Midwest, as anywhere else. Of course, had I been told over and over that I must stay in Indy to be an artist, I'd have moved elsewhere. Reverse psychology is my nemesis.
[image, ID 47, 58" x 48", oil on wood, 2009]
7- Where can your art be viewed at this time? Will you be involved with any upcoming exhibits?
As of the end of this interview, I am adopting my very own "put up or shut up" policy. I'm going to focus more on physically presenting my work, as opposed to (or in addition to) on-line blogging about it. I do have a show set up for my large shaped panels. It is a year away, and I don't want to announce before it's on the venue's schedule, but I'm excited about that. I have two other bodies of smaller work which have not been shown, and I just made a goal to set up these two shows within the next year. They do not require a gallery-type space like the shaped panels do, so I can think outside the cube for these.
In the fall, I will be involved in an exhibition at House of Jsu, formerly Utrillo's, at 3318 East 10th Street. This gallery/picture shop has transitioned into a pretty interesting conceptual entity. This show will be invitational and the details are still being worked out. Artists are invited to make their dream thrift store art painting. What painting would you love to find in a thrift store or flea market? What would you want someone else to have painted? We will have more information by mid-summer, but anyone who may be interested in participating can e-mail me with their contact info. cknoppatcarlaknoppdotcom.
My site, www.carlaknopp.com, has my personal art portfolio and links to my blog and CK Art Company, my mural site.
8- Is there one question you would love to never have to answer again in your life in relationship to your art or practice? If so, what is that question and what about that question bothers you so?
"What kind of art do you do?"
This makes me panic a little, but I'll admit, I often ask this question of others. I don't have a good prepared answer, and it's usually asked in a situation where we don't really have time to go into it. Can I use art terminology with this person? Should I talk about process or materials, specific ideas or general motivations? It's much less an issue now that I can say "Abstraction" and then gauge how to continue.
9- Any parting words of wisdom or advice?
Beware of covert oppression.

As a admirer of your painting I have to say I think the very best thing about it is sometimes humor and always mystery. I like going on the journey to meaning that your paintings invite. Thanks for the invitation.
LOVE the simultaneous suggestion of vaguely obscene in these shaped canvases. I am starting to think they are as much about carnality (in the broadest sense) as they are about space and form.

Carnality is an interesting and apt description. I like that a lot. Thanks

Expert advice and real-life solutions, plus delicious recipes for every stage of pregnancy.
You may be hungrier than ever, but nausea, indigestion and the need to control your calorie intake can make it tough to get the nutrition you and your baby need. Our expert advice and satisfying recipes will help you overcome the challenges each trimester poses.
First Trimester
Challenges Morning sickness; fatigue. The good news about eating when you're newly expecting is that it's not much different from following a "normal" healthy diet, says Melinda Johnson, R.D., an Arizona-based expert on maternal nutrition. In fact, during early pregnancy there's no need to eat any more food than before.
The bad news is that you're likely to suffer from morning sickness, which can make eating almost anything difficult. But don't sweat it. "Your focus right now should be on finding foods you can keep down, not on nutrition," says Elisa Zied, M.S., R.D., author of Feed Your Family Right. Just make sure to take a daily prenatal vitamin; your doctor can prescribe or recommend one. Once you pass this bumpy stage you can concentrate on eating a variety of healthful foods.
Strategies and Solutions To combat queasiness, try popsicles, dry toast, ginger ale and citrus-flavored water; choose bland dishes without strong odors, which can trigger nausea; and opt for nutritious unheated foods or cold foods because they are less odorous that hot ones. Fight fatigue by pairing complex carbohydrates with protein, such as a whole-wheat pita and hummus, or apple slices and string cheese.
Expert Tip To ward off morning sickness, keep plain crackers by your bedside and nibble on a few before getting out of bed, suggests Zied.
Try: Ginger-Lime Sparkler
Second Trimester
Challenges Eating a balanced diet without overeating. With morning sickness a thing of the past, you now have your energy and appetite back. In fact, you will probably feel hungrier than normal. This is the time to eat 300 extra high-quality calories a day for the remainder of your pregnancy. Warning: That's not very much. "It's important not to go crazy," says Zied.
Portion control will help you keep your weight gain under control. "It's critical to gain enough weight but not too much," says Seattle-based nutritionist Lola O'Rourke, R.D. (For the latest guidelines, go to fitpregnancy.com/weightgain.)
Strategies and Solutions "Choose nutrient-dense, not calorie-dense, foods," O'Rourke suggests, which means focusing on lean meats, low-fat dairy, vegetables and fruit.
Concentrate on eating a variety of foods in moderation. Have three meals a day plus a couple of small, healthful snacks, choosing from at least three food groups at every meal and two at snack time, Johnson advises: "If you're doing that consistently, you'll inch out junk food."
Aim for a balance of complex carbs (whole grains, vegetables and legumes) and lean protein (chicken breast, sirloin and tofu). Also important are calcium (from low-fat dairy foods and fortified soymilk); folate (found in fortified orange juice, cereals and bread); iron (from leafy green vegetables and lean beef); and vitamins A and C (plentiful in intensely hued fruits and vegetables).
Expert Tip For a custom prenatal eating plan, go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) website, mypyramid.gov, and input your stats, advises Keecha Harris, Dr.P.H., R.D., a Birmingham, Ala.-based dietitian. Follow the recommendations at the upper range of each food category.
Try: Salmon and Asparagus Salad
Third Trimester
Challenges Excess weight gain; feeling deprived; digestive difficulties The discomforts of late-term pregnancy may make you feel entitled to overindulge in high-calorie foods, leading to excess weight gain. "You don't want to be counting calories, but if you're not doing much physical activity, you don't need as much food," cautions Zied. At the same time, your expanding uterus is pressing against your stomach, making you feel full quickly and causing heartburn. Constipation is another frequent problem.
Strategies and Solutions Gauge how you're doing in terms of your goals with weekly weigh-ins: You should put on only about a pound a week after the first trimester. To avoid feeling deprived, it's OK to enjoy the occasional evenly spaced mini-meals throughout the day, stopping well before bedtime if heartburn wakes you up at night. High-fiber vegetables can help keep you regular; if you're having trouble with gas, eat them cooked instead of raw.
Tempted to limit your fluid intake to avoid frequent bathroom visits? Don't—you also need water to prevent constipation, says O'Rourke, who advises drinking 12 8-ounce glasses a day. Also limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day: It irritates the stomach and acts as a diuretic.
Expert Tip To avoid feeling full after just a few bites, nix beverages during meals, Harris advises.

Tomb Raider Trilogy bundles up March 22
PS3-exclusive Lara Croft compilation of Underworld, Anniversary, Legend priced at $40.
Fans of the crafty Lara Croft won't get their hands on the adventurer's recently announced origin story for some time, but those wishing to relive the older stories can pick up a remastered collection in just two months.
Sony has confirmed that the Tomb Raider Trilogy will drop on March 22 (as suggested by an Amazon product listing), exclusively on the PlayStation 3. The bundle will include Tomb Raider: Underworld, as well as high-definition remastered versions of Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Tomb Raider: Legend. Additionally, the Tomb Raider Trilogy will include (also as suggested) Lara Croft and Viking Thrall avatars for use in Sony's PlayStation Home, as well as a static Lara Croft-minded theme for the PS3.
The pack will join the trilogy ranks of the Sly Collection, which was released on November 9, and the Splinter Cell trilogy, also due out March 22. There's also still the possibility of a Prince of Persia three-pack, although the likely games in that rumored compilation--the Sands of Time trilogy--have already been released as stand-alone downloadable titles on the PlayStation Network.
For more on the Tomb Raider Trilogy's bundled titles, check out GameSpot's reviews of Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and Tomb Raider: Underworld.

Gentlemen, I thank you both -- and wish I had gotten to this point several weeks back. I'll go give F10 (or maybe F11) another try ASAP. Are you running full F10, or the install from the live CD, or what? Incidentally, it was only about last week that I discovered I could upgrade both the RAM (to the 2 GB it has now) and the SD card (from the 4 GB I had to the 8 GB now). That has of course made everything since seem better. And, btw, somebody on my local LUG found the drivers I needed. I installed them, and this morning the 701 connects just fine -- under CentOS 5.3. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

Are you only counting your hits and clicks, or are you really modeling? Do you have a physical modeling portfolio or only an online portfolio? Have you gotten exposure in a print magazine or are you only hottie of the month online?
What about the ad, the product? Shooting to make a story?
Maybe it comes down to asking yourself:
Why do you want to model?
What do you want to model?
And why is being a model important to you?
What I have learned through my own modeling pursuits is that: The Internet can help, but the Internet is not where the self promotion ends.
Being an Internet model is the easy way out. Are you taking the easy way out?
I am dedicating a segment this week on Model Talk, to the topic of Internet Modeling and the good and the bad of it. A girl can be more than just "another face," online, but it does involve work. It isn't taking the short cut. It is really attaining to you own self promotion and it involves reaching out beyond the internet modeling websites and social site.
What does a comment on your modeling page really get you? An ego boost? It doesn't make you a model because someone says "your hot!" It takes more than a compliment to be a model. So lets think about what would happen if you took what you wanted to the next level.
A girl goes to the Internet when she wants to be a model,-even before looking up agencies, and even trying to get a modeling agent. They feel discouraged because of height requirements, and instead of focusing on what she has to offer as a model, she gets stuck in a rut of only being an Internet model and never really working at all.
Tune into Model Talk at 8pm to hear insight on how an Internet model can be a commercial print model, this week www.blogtalkradio.com/isobellajade

In 2013, the Gazette published excerpts from the diary of Derek Allan, one half of the acoustic duo We Steal Flyers. After taking 2014 off from being a diarist, Derek, from Broomhill, is back again.
March 4
This is a nice bar once again but you are able to smoke. It is not easy to sing or breathe performing in a smoke-filled room. The people are very kind and love our music. Music in some parts of the world is everything and we are adored. We always play as many places as we can and always return where they want us.
MArch 5
A long drive up the mountains to Davos Mountain. The sights and drive are breathtaking. Singing in Switzerland in the mountains is not easy. You need to breathe differently in new places as the altitude changes. Energy is different too. Our musical sets are longer and people never want you to stop singing. Your voice can go at any second and it is not something that is easy to explain to people. It feels like you have a cold all of a sudden and no sound leaves your mouth. This happened to Shaggy then me. We are fearless though so we made it once again, but it is a scary experience. We once again met some more amazing people. Home for 4am again. It was good to not be woken up too many times by housekeeping today. This is a bad part of touring, we don't get much sleep. Why do hotels ask you to stay then tell you to leave so early. We pay to sleep and I don't even like sleep, it pauses the dream.
MArch 6
Staying motivated and inspired by people and places takes you many miles. Playing in a venue in another country with the finest cars parked outside and a room filled with millionaires is a strange feeling for two Northumbrians by a piano. Winning them all over is not a strange feeling. Our tours overseas need to go up now. Our music is loved so much over here and we now have a following here so very strong. This has been time well spent with my friend and we are keeping people happy and sharing life and music in all the right places.
March 7
Irish bar in Switzerland. Moving around ends now and we leave tomorrow. Set up early in the day and a long wait in the sun. It is a great feeling heading home, but sad leaving people and places as often as we do. I wanted my life to be special and to give everything I could. I learn from so many people. This was a fantastic end to the tour. Packed venue again and loving us in many languages and accents. People are wonderful and should know that they are. We are here to share life and happiness and it is this simple. We played an extra set...four sets to end the tour. Melanie had an Acoustic Magic gig back home that also went very well.
March 8
Home time. The amazing Steff got us to the airport. She helped and shared most of our tour. She loved it, but found it tiring as well as exciting. We Steal Flyers have a lot more to look forward to. It is a good year and the new album is close. Getting onto and off the plane is the least good thing in my life. Flying is always amazing, how is this possible? Seeing Mel, Rebecca and Ellie is the greatest. Two-hour drive home is a long drive after a tour. It is nice to see other countries and other people. It means a lot to people to know that others care about them and what they do. You can look at the life we have made and think many things. One thing I know for sure is that we are no longer cavemen and cavewoman.
MArch 9
Yesterday I was heading home from a very successful tour of Switzerland. I could not sleep. My body clock is all messed up. I stayed awake all night and watched the Cricket World Cup so I'm not complaining. I know you must know by now but I love cricket and the way it is played these days. The Acoustic Magic Dinnington gig was brilliant. Five performers this evening. Enough people to make some noise for the players and enough people realising what going to see/hear live music is all about. It is very rare that someone goes home from a night disappointed and the more you like it the more you will love it. You will for certain see someone who really does have the X factor and has what it takes to do this for a living.
It is hard to get used to being home in the UK when back from touring. The calm and the busy of touring is over. I very much looked forward to watching Rebecca running again and tonight she was back and loving it too. She still has two weeks left of these Tuesday nights.
There are a lot of tickets needing ordered for the Nizlopi, Johnny Dickonson, and Rod Clements Acoustic Magic gigs and so on. It is a great feeling sorting these gigs and then the little worry comes in and questions, what if no one goes? Mel and I are used to busy and empty nights now. We still want to bring to Northumberland all we can and help out musicians in the North East as well as the whole country. Charity events are needing set up too. It is hard to sort all of these nights out as we are happy to help everyone and everything but we can not afford to take weekends off from gigs so we try and find different ways of making money for the people. I still want to find something big to do and I am still looking up for different ways to make much money to save the day. I know there are people out there with too much money that would like to make a difference, I am willing to do all of the work if they are willing to give me the paper to make it all so.
March 12
I finally got to walk with little Ellie in the winds of Northumberland and we loved it. I miss these times when I am away. I want to walk Europe.
march 13
The Barrels Ale Bar gig in Berwick is one of the greatest bar gigs we have ever played. It is a perfect gig. The people in the room want you there and you want them there. They are wonderful people and it is the perfect gig to play when we get home. Back in Alnmouth Red Lion on April 4, this is another lush place wth great people.

My brother Ben and his friend D.W. Alexander are working on raising money for their next film production, Id and Emma, which they will begin shooting in April. They have asked artists that they know to donate artwork for the auction and we've listed them on ebay (see the links below).
They are also donating 20% of the money raised from the auction for the Colorado Sickle Cell Foundation to honor a friend who is fighting the disease.
In this photo, D.W. is filming from the tower at East High School in Denver, Colorado, which will be a location in Id and Emma.
Please take a look at these items for auction, bid on ones you like, and forward this link to your friends and family. We really appreciate your support!
Updated 04-14-09--thanks everyone! So far, Ben and D.W. have earned $220.00 as well as $60 for the Colorado Sickle Cell Foundation.
