Mixer was very interesting. The girl that we thought was the most conservative who showed up turned out to be the most out there. I mean the boob-alicious. Jennier shows up and she basically wears Jessica Simpson's dresses from two years ago with that tatas out there to china and she's all flirty myrty. And at first Gary's like, "well she's too over the top for me." And I'm like, "Did you not ask me for Jessica Simpson, born again. That's that girl." So he kind of realized in the end, yeah I'm right, and that was probably the best pick for him. And after several mini-dates he said, "OK this is the one I'm going to go with." And that was fine I sealed that deal.
But then had so many women to choose from, I was kind of surprised he picked a redhead. Destin's choice, which was a little odd, because I don't usually let redheads come to the mixers. But I gotta go with the client. He chose Sally
On their date, Sally and him went surfing. Not my usual date. Neither one had tried that before. It's kind of cold in the water. They had to wear wetsuits. But in walks in Alex, the fun, 23-year old, hot surf instructor that Sally can't take her eyes off of, and there goes Steve. And she was rude. Very dogmatic. Found out about his five-year daughter being given up 19 years ago and was kind of pissed off about that. Who the f—k is she? She's got red hair. She shouldn't be talking, let alone getting a date.
Hi Patti, I love your show, my boyfriend and I watch it religiously.... I have a lot of questions. Do you feel like there is an age where you are too young to think/talk about marriage? I wanted to call into What Happens Live, but I missed the number every time. I would really look forward to hearing from you. Thank You, Brittney
Patti, I love watching your show because I think you have good insight about courtship, and how to get a meaningful relationship off on the right foot. It's tough dating out there, let alone for a millionaire! Thank goodness you're preaching respect, chivalry and romance. The beginning, and the story, matter entirely. You deal your clients, who at times are a bit eccentric, with much needed honest. However, I think you're a little too tough on redheads. For someone who proposes to see the best in others and that true love may exist, it seems a little disingenuous to then judge and exclude an entire group of people because of their hair color... Isn't that dogmatic? Sally was beautiful, intelligent and successful. Destin clearly didn't have the emotional maturity to match. PS- You're a smart lady, but someone needs to proofread your blog.
Just fyi Sally, that "beautiful, intelligent and successful" woman took my husband's daughter and moved to another state after the court's order that we were to have visitation every other weekend. My husband is an amazing father and loves his daughter very much. Funny how she got on Steve's case about his situation but then she pretty much does the same thing. She is a toxic narcissist and rules don't apply to her. It is very sad.
Patti, You always have interesting people on you show.....These guys were no exception. I agreed with the "red-head", Sally, I wanted to know why he gave up his child/children, whatever. Anyone even remotely thinking they might want to get involved with this guy would want answers. I realize there are two sides to everything but there are NO sides when it comes to children(adopted or natural). Children are the biggest commitment you can make and you can't divorce them, SORRY! I really was shocked that you thought she was being harsh or judgemental, that raised a red flag to me and my husband as he was watching.
Patti, I love the show and I think you're hilarious. But when you're letting whatever runs through your head pop out of your mouth you're bound to offend some people right? Well I never found the redhead talk or sexual references offensive but on last nights episode, a comment you made changed the way I view the show. You commented on waitresses being bimbos and beneath one of your clients. Well lovely patti, I am currently working as a bartender to pay for graduate school and half the people I work with are doing the same thing. Because I work at a bar, am I automatically a bimbo and beneath someone else? Had you only made the comment once, it wouldn't have bothered me but you made it one of the primary reasons for why he had not found love. So since my boyfriend is already an architect and I am just a lowly bartender, he should probably just move on to someone else that isn't beneath him. Thanks for the tip. You really know how to make women feel great!
I am still a little in shock over the "virgin" that showed up to the mixer. Hey...good for her. Anyway...did not love the batchelors this week and not so much the women they chose.
I really want to know what Patti has against red heads? (And yes - I am a red head). It's pretty big of her to rule out an entire group of people . . . yet everyone wants to find love? What a joke. I use to be a Patti fan - no more. And her crap with Andy last night . . . get over yourself. Patti you wonder why no one in the studio was responding? Maybe it's YOU!
Patti! Patti! Patti!.....I am ALWAYS on your side, but what happened? You were pretty mean about Sally! Why? If she was turned off by him, saw some red flags, what is wrong with that? Isn't that something you yourself would recommend? She was a beautiful woman, her red hair enhanced that! I have never seen you act like this before. I'm glad Gary found what he wanted, although he started out the date pretty weird. I watched the "Live" Show with you and Andy, and you were adorable! Gotta ask you one question though....you are a smart cookie, and a excellent observer, so I was taken aback when you said you were "team Teresa"! WHAT? REALLY? HUH? HELLO!!! Where's MY PATTI?
I have watched your show since the beginning and typically agree with a lot of what you have to say. But I have a red headed son that is very attractive, smart and funny. You are really being a jerk by saying that redheads should not even speak let alone get a date!!! You are so rude.
Hi Patti, I was wondering if you have any comment regarding the backlash to your recent appearance on the Andy Cohen show, where you referred to gay people as "you people," and said that gay men in incapable of monogamy? Also, you indicated that you think Jewish men are liars. Why do you think that? Thanks, Ed
Patti .."you are just WRONG"!! ("Cann't curb the gay") ! ha! .. (but I love you anyway.. because you are so right)! As a gay man with HIV, I would love your help in finding a partner..( but you would kick me to the curb so fast)! ha! Thanks for being YOU! ~"Refreshing"! :) ~ Michael
Hey Patti I wait tables AND have a college degree, Thanks for the dating down comment! I am make great money work about 25 hours a week! Lets be nice to all us girls out here trying to make a living and enjoy a nice life. Just because I wait table does not mean I am not a smart woman.
Hi Patti, I know you are catching some grief over some comments on Andy's live show . Don't let it bother you. You are refreshingly honest and you can have your opinions!!!! I'm so sick( I don't think I am the only one) of everyone trying to be so politically correct. You can have your opinions and they can have theirs. Love you and don't stop saying what you think...you have that right!!
Oh and another thing, My mother was a waitress. My father died when I was a child and my mother worked as a nutritionist at the V.A. during the day and a waitress at night to support my brothers and me. She was not a Bimbo or a tramp or an idiot. She was smart and fun and good and kind.
Hi Patti, For all the haters out there, Patti is known for saying it like it is! Patti, I love it when you stick it to the stuck-up, self centered, narcicists on your show. Some of these people must be so good at surounding themselves with butt-kissers that they have no concept of what they really look and act like. Thanks for giving a taste of reality! You're are a smart lady so I'm sure you will just let the negative comments rolloff. Mazel!!
Hello Patti, Three of the comments you have made recently are especially troubling to me. In speaking of long distance, open relationships you said, ""In the gay world, it will always be open... There is no curbing the gay man." You also stated that "Jewish men lie" and that women have "got to dumb it down a little because men are not that bright." I know you're trying to be edgy and that you are well-known for giving harsh, pointed criticism and that's okay. That's why many of us love you. But making sexist and racist remarks is not edgy or harsh: it's just bigoted. Please stop making prejudiced remarks. You're too good for that.
An hour ago I was thrilled to see you Days Of Our Lives, hoping maybe E.J had met his match! Then I started watching your show which I have been recording, I was floored at something you said! We all know you speak your mind and that's one of the reason we all love Patti but now it will be "loved" and "use to watch the show" Why, you ask but don't believe you really care. But I am going to tell you anyway. You made the comment and I quote " the bimbo waitress that works in the trailer park". Waitress do not work in trailer parks but rather live there. I lost my husband just about 3 years ago to brain cancer and lost everything!! So I went back to school but had to go to work since I still have a son at home. Working in the restaurant allows me the flexibility for school and home. FYI..I make more than enough to pay my bills!! Thanks to you all waitresses are now" beneath" and not worthy of love. Wow..way you go Patti. I wonder how many women today have lost their high paying careers but will do anything to keep a roof over their heads including working in a restaurant? Are they also "beneath"? I really hope the next time go out to eat whoever has the misfortune of having to serve you, heard your comment and adds a little flavor to your lunch! Thanks for enlightening this lowly waitress. Gotta run, have to un-dvr you!!!
Hey Patti Pat, I hope you have time to read your comments I totally understand how the millionaire works!!! they are workaholics at most times and they can't get to everything, but any who I love the show... I love how you don't give a hoot.. you say whats on your mind...maybe the whole thing of what people say might be a little true but your driven by what you want and the impulses you get.. thats why you are where you are and your outspoken which is great... i just maybe have a few suggestion that you can possibly want to take in order to push more satisfied customers out the door...when it comes to millionaire personalities and the right match... there are sometimes people that have personalities that in there world is up to class. For example that one chick millionaire that was like a stripper educator she had a wild personality and maybe the perfect match for her is a man that is in that same category not classy wine typical but a dude that can do both. And sure you wanted to tone her down but maybe you could have embraced her persona and gotten her a fitted dressed that said wild and classy and the right guy would be the same. I guess I am defining more of the term MATCH. let me not insult your expertise but what you want for them or maybe everyone is classy but every persona is not you and full classiness doesn't fit that personality...of course your classy and thats what you cover but hey they are wild millionaires for a reason right? of course take down the egos and the attitudes and the control issues they have but remember make the matches! And as for the people at the bottom example bartenders and service folk or minimum wagers..that stuff again they have personalities and your looking for the right spirits and souls for the million dollar man/woman, they want love not just money right?...look for the diamond in the rough.. the will to move up and of course not the free loader...getting back to bartenders they deal with many people personalities they are social some are definitely not rough and tough and dirty..though so can be assholes, some are bubbly and cool. Remember the key of Matches!!! Again your awesome and your a know-it-all personality don't let it cloud your purpose..making people Happy!!
Patti, I have been a fan of the show since the first season. I have heard you talk down about red-heads repeatedly and recently I feel like you have definetely been a little rude. I obviously would not fit into your category of girls (I am a red-head AND a waitress (who is also trying to pay my own way through nursing school)) but I don't understand where your hatred came from! I, myself, am a ginger, proud of it, and NEVER have I heard that I was not attractive or someone was not attracted to me because of my hair color. I just do not understand what the huge deal is?
Congrats for alienating a lot of your viewers, Patti. Your comments on Sunday were offensive to gay men everywhere and further perpetuates the stereotypes that prevent the rest of the world from accepting us as just people.
I used to watch your show. Your comments were always amusing and playful. I stopped watching the moment you started to trashtalk and stereotype everyone.
I thought matchmakers were supposed to help find someone an ideal partner FOR THEM, not try and make them something they are not. It's not matchmaking. It's certainly not love. And you certainly aren't entertaining about it anymore---just juvenile and spoiled.
I am a redhead I am married I have a great job and better yet I have a a child. All while being a redhead. You need to look in the mirror and maybe change your attitude towards gays, jews and redheads then maybe you can land yourself a man!
Patti- This was my favorite episode EVER!!! As a natural born red head, I laugh all the time about how much you dislike us. And then somebody like Sally shows up, treats her date so ungraciously, and gives the rest of us a bad name! Maybe Steve made a mistake, but nobody can judge for anyone else what is right for themselves and/or their child(ren) in any given situation. I give him a ton of respect for trying to resolve what was undoubtedly a huge wound for him, and his children; it couldn't have been easy 20 years ago, and can't be easy now. Best of luck to him- and if this educated southern woman ever finds herself in Los Angeles, I'll stop in so you can see there's at least one decent strawberry in the bunch! Thanks for preaching the wonders of romance and monogamy- Lizelle
who are you to judge a person, just because you fell into your job from family connections? on your recent episode, you talked negatively about a waitress who lives in a trailer park. Guess what, I'm a waitress who lives in a trailer park. Real people have real life situations, that they do the best oto afford. I live in a trailer park because it is cheaper and more space for me and my children than living in an apartment. I waitress, because they work with my hours to raise my children and go to school while making the money to support them. You never know what life is going to throw your way, and doing what is best for the circumstances that are dealt to you is nothing to judge. I agree, I probobaly should not have had children as young as I was, but I am doing what I can for them. What real struggles have you had in your life that you are entitled to look down on people?#
All redheads, gays, Jews, smart women, waitresses, short people and bastard children should stop watching this show and maybe this "relationship expert" will re-evaluate what really matters when dealing with human relationships.
Does Bravo post comments that don't endorse their stars?
Wow! I am new to this comment board, but geezz!! She was referring to someone who is a pilot vs. a waitress. Waitress can be smart, but they are not at the educational level as a pilot. And that is where dating down means.
Patti, I thought Jewish men made the best husbands? Why did you contradict yourself the other night by saying that all Jewish men lie? You are sooo un-self-aware, it's sad. It's blatantly obvious from watching your appearances on WWHL, that you make Andy Cohen uncomfortable. I don't think he cares for you, honey. Don't you see that? You are SO negative. Guess what, for every action, there is a reaction. If you continue to spew all this unwarranted, nonsensical, BS, you are going to get it back, tenfold. Time to get yourself in check, or else, you might not be getting one from Bravo much longer!
Bravo, PLEASE take her off the air! This show will not get my time or ratings! Her big mouth is beyond over-board! Clean house, please!
One word people...SARCASM! It is Patti's thing. Gay, straight, Bi, Trans-gender who cares not Patti. It is the Millionaires Matchmakers Club, not the gold-diggers, trailer-trash, bigot Club. Patti runs a tight ship and with that comes some strict rules. She doesn't criticize the student, the mom, the dad, sexual preference. She is selling a service to Millionaires who do not want forever lasting baggage. But to apologize for comments made in "The Clubhouse" is ridiculous. It is after prime time. Andy encourages drinking games. But most of all Patti is just keeping it real. Love you Patti keep up the great job. Shame on Bravo and Andy for giving you jackhole of the week. Thanks for some great laughs,Patti. Alicia (a redhead)
Poor Unlucky in love Patti ,
You will never find love and don't understand the slightest thing of it , Until you learn about Human relations
You a laughing all the way to the bank ,all by your self . Learn more about human relations , and maybe a your age you will find someone.
You guys take what she says too damn personally. My advice: Stereotypes are based on Reality. (and I'm a red head - and that girl really should have shut her mouth whether she had red hair or not)
Wow there are some harsh comments on here. I would just love to say that I LOVE your show Patti. You are amazing at match making and I like your forwardness. I think people take you the wrong way and If they dont like what you have to say then who cares. I dont think you necessarily are judging anyone, but you have standards. Its called the millionaires match making people so ya there should be some sort of standards. LOL. I am a gay man and Patti I would come work for you any day. Until then I will keep watching your shows. Thanks for making my day better from your jokes and humor. Some people cant handle it but I find it hilarious.
Great show minus Patti- she is so uncomfortable to watch!!! The idea of the show is great though so please just switch out Patti -she should not be on TV at all.
Please. This show has been about "dating down" from the start. Does anyone think self-made, educated millionaires with polish are going to be interested in dating a waitress for long?
This show has become way too gimmicky, and these aren't real clients but guinea pigs who are in it for "promotional consideration." You can tell that Patti has little patience for these people and relies on tired stereotypes and downright rudeness to get a reaction.
I don't know where the thing about redheads comes from, but I'm a redhead married to my best friend for nearly 11 years. I hope women don't seriously believe they need to color their hair or straighten it in order to find Mr. Right! It hasn't worked for Ms. Stanger. She might want to forget about hair color and think more about the adage about flies, honey, and vinegar.
I am fascinated with Lizelle's comment that she thinks Sally treated her date poorly. I get you are both redheads, but unless I heard this wrong, the girl went to Yale, has 2 master degress, is pretty as a button and is a single mom. WHY on earth would she date a guy who at 42 and is a millionaire hasnt picked up the phone and made every single concerted effort to resolve his past?? Sally (redhead/bald/whatever) is a quality gal that needs a real man who treats women like a queen. She read between the lines and saw potential danger ahead. You're standing on the wrong side! Sally ROCKS!!!!!
Sorry Patti, but this is the first time I have to disagree with you. As a mom, I am appalled that this man deserted his child and I would NEVER date anyone who did what he did...EVER. Sally was absolutely right.
To the mother of the "red headed son that is very attractive, smart and funny"; ~ post a photo of him. I also would like to know what got you turned off redheads. I agree with the comment ". . . I'm so sick . . . of everyone trying to be so politically correct. If she was turned off by him, saw some red flags, what is wrong with that? There are NO sides when it comes to children (adopted or natural). Children are the biggest commitment you can make and you can't divorce them, SORRY! I really was shocked that you thought she was being harsh or judgemental,"
hi, im livin in auckland watching millionAIRE matchmaker and i cant belive that shauna , age 41,walked away from handsome mike, age 51. he was smart , great body! cant believe it, he would be perfect for my mother !!!!! she s smart, likes to cook , does yoga and goes to gym, if he s still looking, i got his perfect match :)
Hi Patty! I love you!!! I agree with NY, they are horrible. Try coming to Jersey for your next season, I'm sure you'll get a kick! lo. Keep up the great work!
You are SUCH a nutjob! I am a blonde who has been everything from a brunette to a redhead and am a redhead NOW. Reheads have a fiery mystique and men who love them REALLY love them. Sass, uniqueness. Tell that to Julia Roberts, Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon (all who popularized fiery hair IN THE DAY) and now stars like Isla Fisher. I love how you issue groundless blanket statements left and right. It simply shows how one-dimensional you can be and ARE oh so many times.

I'm looking for a picture from the Love cd booklet, the one on the two pages after the words from George Martin and his son, it's from the rooftop concert in yellow/orange and it's a very cool picture.
I wonder if anyone here has it in digital form in good resolution and if you can post it here or a link to a page where it can be found? Of course I have the picture in the booklet but I need it on the computer, I'd "love" to have it to a work I'm doing in school with a Beatles theme.

In US House Testimony, DMA Opposes Mandatory Sales Tax Collection BillDMA Warns that H.R. 3396 Would Seriously Jeopardize E-Commerce and Impede An Open-Market Economy Washington, DC, December 6, 2007 The Direct Marketing Associations (DMA) tax counsel, George Isaacson, today testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial & Administrative Law in opposition to the Sales Tax Fairness and Simplification Act (H.R. 3396). Introduced by Rep. William Delahunt (D-MA), the bill would make interstate sales tax collection mandatory regardless of whether the seller has a physical presence or tax nexus in the taxing state. In his testimony, Isaacson said, Expanded and overlapping state tax jurisdictions would seriously jeopardize the continued growth of electronic commerce in the Isaacson told the members of the House panel that the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement (SSTA) referenced in the legislation is a document drafted by tax administrators, and as might be expected it resulted in little in the way of tax simplification. Congress, he added, should not endorse this misnamed exercise in state tax reform. Commenting on todays hearing on H.R. 3396, Steven K. Berry, DMAs executive vice president for government affairs and corporate responsibility, noted, The US Constitution, with its Interstate Commerce Clause, has been critical to maintaining a national open-market economy. Accordingly, the last thing Congress should do is endorse legislation, which would stifle that open market with a burdensome regime of tax-collection requirements. Isaacson called the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement an example of low-bar tax reform that, from the outset, has proven to be a moving target of increasing complexity and decreasing uniformity. He pointed out that that SSTA: · Fails to reduce the 7,600 varying tax rates across the · Fails to reduce the burden of tax collection, remittance of tax, and audits placed on interstate marketers; and · Fails to guarantee fundamental fairness with respect to vendor compensation for tax collection. Isaacson concluded his testimony by citing that the SSTA is fundamentally flawed and has not achieved meaningful sales and use tax reform.

Skinfood Omija Whitening
USE: Can be used as a foundation. I sometimes use it as a concealer or to brighten up dull areas on my skin before adding the red orange jelly bb or the peach sake bb.
OVERALL: (2.5/5) The shade was ridiculously light. I understand it is for whitening, but I just found it whiter than I expected. I don't really use it like it's supposed to be used, but it works alright as a brightening/concealer combo. If you want it as a foundation you'd better have some light, light, light skin.
I most likely WILL NOT be purchasing this again. It does lighten well, but it is too light. I have to go back with powder to make myself not look like a ghost.

1 week 2 hours ago | if you go back and watch |
if you go back and watch every offensive snap (its on the tubez) you'll see at least 1/3 of these yards come from unforced errors (blown coverage, needless over pursuit, misalignment) another 1/3 from guys who just seemed to MAKE PLAYS (broken tackles, leaping over a corner) and the last 1/3 from good play calls. You don't get kudos for the first when you don't do any line checks. I won't tear Al to shreds, this was pretty good all in all...But you can't analyze this game in a vacuum...Al has sucked hard all year long; one decent game does not overcome the eye-bleach inducing four game run we just had. It was above average for Al below for most other OCs |
1 week 2 hours ago | Nice write up Seth, really enjoyed this piece. |
This is my biggest issue with MANBALL. Its not necessarily that spread is better than manball its that most manball coaches go back to the 3 yards and a cloud of dust "I know what I'm running, you know what I'm running but I'll force my will and you won't stop it." Such a neaderthalic (yea, that's not a word, I don't think) way to play football. Guys who run the spread are more likely to build constraints into their system (or so it seems)...maybe its a generational thing? Anyone more well versed in a functional manball team have good examples of manball with constraints built in? I can't say I'm well enough versed in playcalling theory to be able to see it myself. I'd be okay with an offense that wears manball clothes (2TEs, I form, lots of under center) if it thought like Art Briles/Holgo/C. Kelly/RR. Running an offense that is dependent on out-talenting your opponent is not practical anymore. |

I'm not sure you nderstand the nature of the NHL anymore...the Wings aren't a destination for FAs because they're one of the few franchises (like Boston and Chicago) who aren't throwing around absurdly stupid money on bad investments and 'names.' He's built a core and he's constantly looked to find complementary pieces to that core. This isn't 1988 anymore. you can't trade all your high end talent in the system and magically replenish it in the next draft because no one has European scouts. You have to draft and develop your talent...sometimes that takes patience. Its INCREDIBLY hard to rebuild on the fly and bide time while your next wave of talent comes together. Look at the top of this league right now: Chicago and Pittsburgh...their talent came from VERY high draft picks in multiple years. they were horribad. The wings aren't prepared to do that (and they wont, they're too good in the front office). IF we're lucky...we'll see Nyquist, Frk, Ferarro, and the rest of the young talent on this team overlap with a year or two of the Datsyuk/Zetterberg/Kronwall/Howard wave of talent. Watch the next three years while Chicago and Pittsburgh struggle to not crumble to pieces because of their inability to retain 5-6 superstars....I'll trade 22 years of consistency with a shot to win it every year over 3-5 year alternating runs of good then bad. Not to mention: you can't trade Fil at the deadline and make the playoffs. would not have happened period case closed. You really would have traded a playoff run for a 2nd-4th round pick? (you weren't getting a 1st. VAN got a 1st for their best goaltender, not their 2nd or 3rd line center). |

you must not be familiar with San Jose, LA, Anaheim, Vancouver, St Louis or Phoenix. Three of those have been the cream of the crop in the NHL the past half decade or (and two more haven't been half bad) so and all are huge and physical. The East has Boston and................ The Wings style fits very nicely in the East save Boston. And the Travel will help. |
21 weeks 6 days ago | dude, someone hook me up with |
dude, someone hook me up with the OPs dealer's number. 1. Don't sign cleary. 2. Don't sign another forward. 3. Don't sign a defensemen. 4. Do sign all of our RFAs. 5. Don't bring anyone up because we don't have the roster space. 6. Don't trade anything for Stamkos and tell your dealer you got a bad stash if you want to trade Holland for anyone. Our D is vastly improved with another year of Seasoning for Smith, I think DeKeyser can slip into the top 4 and help keep Smith OFF the top 4 (because he's just not ready yet). DeKeyser, Ericsson, Kronwall Kindl is a nice top four and you can throw whomever you want with Smith in pairing three (or swap DeKeyser and Quincey, whichever) The thing us arm chair GMs forget to realize is that we had an almost entirely new Defense core (only the top two D were used to playing withe each other) and D is such a chemistry position...with no offseason and barely any training camp/pre-season its hard to manufacture chemistry out of thin air. I would also like to see Bert, Sammy, and Tootoo go bye bye. Dats/Abby/Weiss Z/Alfie/Franzen Andersson/Nyquist/(pick someone fast) Helm/Miller/Eaves |

about the exhibition
Hudson (Show)Room
Rebecca Holland
San Antonio, TX
January 15–March 15, 1998
about the artistBorn in Colorado Springs, CO in 1962, Rebecca Holland lives and works in San Antonio, TX. Holland holds an M.F.A. in ceramic sculpture from the University of Massachusetts, and a B.A. in ceramics and painting from Bennington College, Vermont. Holland is an Adjunct Professor of Art at San Antonio College. Her work has been exhibited in San Antonio at House Space and Milagros Contemporary Art Gallery; The Bemis Center for the Arts, Omaha, Nebraska; Jane Hartsook Gallery, New York; and most recently, at the Arlington Museum of Art, Texas.
Holland's background as a sculptor and ceramicist informs her use of materials and an approach to working with space. In recent years, she has been working almost exclusively with wax, creating minimalist paintings and objects, notable for their balance of mass and intimate scale. With influences ranging from Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman to Eva Hesse and Fred Sandbach, Holland's works are remarkable for their quiet, reductive poetry.
about the exhibition
For her installation at ArtPace, Holland has responded to the essential qualities of The Hudson (Show)Room's space: the soothing southern light filtered through original frosted casement windows and the horizontal plane of the reflective waxed concrete floor. A niche of the room has been bisected diagonally with a tilted wall of dental floss, strung like a harp. Entitled Downhill, this transparent, reclining wall separates the viewer from the space it defines. Light and air penetrate this subtle plane, inviting contemplation and resolve. Opposite Downhill, Holland has applied a thick coat of beeswax to a long wall for a piece called Snowfield I, contributing a sweet odor to the room. The surface is still, with drips, bubbles and rubs evident—a liquid becoming solid. The wall has a sheen that captures the southern light, reflecting it to and from the highly waxed concrete floors. A second wall (Snowfield II) is partially covered with wax, placed to absorb the afternoon western light. Holland's considerate installation brings attention to the inherent qualities of the viewer's location, where light, liquid, air and space transcend their chemical functions to become emotional and spiritual.

The University of Newcastle's Dr Kit Messham-Muir went to great lengths to explain philosopher Edward Burke's concept of the sublime to his first-year fine art students. He demonstrated the notion by facing his fear of heights and jumping out of a plane, placing the clip of his experience on YouTube for his students.
His extraordinary efforts have earned him the Early Career Award in the 2009 Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Teaching Excellence. Dr Messham-Muir is one of eight academics to be honoured by University colleagues and students for outstanding contributions to student learning.
Renowned conductor of the award winning University of Newcastle Chamber Choir, Dr Philip Matthias, took out the major prize - the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence and Learning Support 2009.
Dr Matthias also picked up the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence in the Faculty of Education and Arts. Brendan Boyle is the recipient from the Faculty of Business and Law.

And, in a classic bit of casting, Dustin Hoffman got the role of Benjamin Braddock in "The Graduate." In Charles Webb's novel, Braddock is an athletic, upper-class WASP -- someone who looks like Redford, who was actually considered for the role -- but Stalmaster and director Mike Nichols were looking for someone who could project the character's insecurity.
In a "Casting By" clip, Hoffman remembers his uncertainty.
"I said to Nichols, I did not think I was right for the role. (Braddock is) kind of Anglo-Saxon, tall, slender, good-looking," Hoffman recalled. "And he said, 'You're Jewish.' I said, 'That's right -- short and Jewish.' He said, 'Well, inside, Benjamin Braddock is short and Jewish.' "
Despite their key role in shaping movies, casting directors still don't get all the credit they deserve. That was literal in the beginning: Stalmaster was the first casting director to get "single-card credit" (in which the person is the only credit listed on the screen), for 1968's "The Thomas Crown Affair."
Even today, there's still some resistance. Despite attempts to get the position recognized for Oscar consideration, the motion picture academy has yet to do so. (Moreover, when colleagues pushed Dougherty for honorary Oscar recognition, that attempt, too, failed.)
Nevertheless, the actors have remembered. One of the pleasures of "Casting By" is watching performers who have long since gone on to fame and fortune become their younger selves -- telling stories about being hard-up for rent, scrapping for food, wondering about their next job, and then being blessed by a casting director's wand.
Ross, who's been in casting for more than 30 years, says the idea of making and breaking careers doesn't enter her mind, however. She simply believes in what she does.
"I love talent," she says. "The business has changed so much, but at the very core of it, my love of talent and helping them get the opportunity to work has not changed."
Dougherty, who died in 2011, felt the same way -- and the feeling was reciprocal: "Casting By" ends with a chorus of tributes from colleagues.
She may not have been well-known, but Voight pays her a great compliment -- one due to so many casting directors.
"She could see what people couldn't see," he says.

Here's a look at the CNN Wire's coverage of the Government Shutdown:
Second or third or fourth verse, same as the first. A stalemate in Congress that caused a government shutdown on Tuesday continued with Senate Democrats voting for a fourth time to reject a spending plan by House Republicans that sought to undermine Obamacare.
How the world reacted when the U.S. shut down its government.
Pandas, goats and asteroids: The shutdown's other effects
Congress, but not staff, still gets paid -- it's in the Constitution
Congress, tea party hit all-time low in CNN polling.
10 ways a government shutdown will affect your daily life.
Government shutdown: Get up to speed in 20 questions.\
It's Day One of the government shutdown and both political parties are blaming each other. After the Democratic-controlled Senate voted on Tuesday for a fourth time to reject a measure passed by the Republican dominated House to dismantle the new health care law, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid once again blamed the shutdown on the GOP.
The federal government shutdown is playing out immediately on the campaign trail. In Virginia, which holds a gubernatorial election in five weeks, the campaigns of Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and businessman and former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe are both trying to use the shutdown, which began at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, to their advantage.
For Americans applying for a passport, or citizens of other countries trying to get a visa to the United States, the current government shutdown won't have any effect, the State Department says.
It was business as usual at the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal courts, which are immune -- at least temporarily -- from the government shutdown.
Busloads of World War II veterans, many in wheelchairs, broke past a barricade Tuesday to cross into the World War II Memorial, as onlookers applauded and a man playing the bagpipes led the way. Moments earlier, Republican members of Congress had removed a section of the black gates that surrounded the site, allowing a line of veterans to roll past security officers, who willingly stood aside.
Congress failed to pass a budget and triggered a government shutdown for the first time in nearly two decades Tuesday. But Wall Street took Washington's latest breakdown in stride.
Federal workers who lose pay during the government shutdown can fall back on unemployment benefits in most states. But the money comes with a catch. If Congress decides later to retroactively pay those workers, they would have inadvertently double-dipped into the system and will be asked to return the money.
Shutdown: A multi-billion dollar hit to economy
Shutdown: What happens next
The government shutdown could make it harder for millions of women and children to get the health care they need.
World markets posted mixed reactions in Tuesday trading as the United States commenced a rare process that will close the federal government.
Worried that the government shutdown means you won't receive your Social Security check? Or that getting a passport in time for your long-overdue vacation is a long shot? Don't be. Yes, the government shutdown will close national parks and museums and furlough hundreds of thousands of federal workers. But there are actually a number of government services that will see business as usual.
Shutdown may force me into bankruptcy: Federal worker.
Wall Street CEOs will head to the White House to meet with President Obama on Wednesday, according to sources. Goldman Sach's Lloyd Blankfein will be among the group of CEOs meeting with the president in a visit organized by the Financial Services Forum, a trade group which represents bank chiefs, according to three sources familiar with the schedule. The meeting was originally organized as part of the Obama Administration's ongoing efforts to mend relations with the financial services sector and woo their support for White House policy. Given the meeting is happening in the midst of a government shutdown, one source suggested the shutdown and budget will likely be a major focus of the meeting.
Leave it to NASA to give us some perspective -- about 9.5 billion miles worth -- on the unpopular shutdown of the U.S. government. "Due to government shutdown, we will not be posting or responding from this account," the crew responsible for the Voyager 2 space probe wrote late Monday on Twitter. "Farewell, humans. Sort it out yourselves."
Planning to travel in or to the United States and wondering if the U.S. government shutdown will hit your plans? Well, you may need to tweak some sight-seeing portions of your itinerary. Never mind that visit to the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Forget visiting Independence Hall in Philadelphia. And that hiking adventure at Yellowstone National Park? It won't happen.

When Dad Is in Prison
When Dad Is in Prison
With seven children at home and a husband in jail, Tameyka Powell admits she needs help keeping her kids on track. Two years ago, her young son Kendall Jackson behaved so poorly in his New Orleans school that he was suspended several times a month.
Now Kendall, 7, is doing much better. He's on the honor roll and winning praise for following directions. Powell credits the mentoring her son receives through New Hope Missionary Baptist Church, where she says men teach boys right from wrong.
"He wants to please God," says Powell, chatting in a pew at New Hope after a worship service. "Even when I'm watching TV, [Kendall] says, 'Oh Mama, God's not pleased with that.' This church has been a very good foundation for him."
For years, federally supported mentoring for America's 2 million children who have a parent in prison has banned mentors from initiating talk about God due to guidelines enforcing church-state separation. Between 2003 and September 2011, Mentoring Children of Prisoners (MCP), a $49 million federal program, matched more than 100,000 children with adults. Mentors could discuss matters of faith only if and when mentees raised the subject.
MCP funding ended last September. Yet rather than wither without federal dollars, the movement to mentor children of the incarcerated shows new signs of vitality and religiosity. Churches such as New Hope, which joined the movement without seeking federal funds, are growing robustly religious mentoring programs. Mentors trained under MCP are embracing new freedom to talk about their Christian faith with their mentees.
"There's an extra level of excitement for a mentor when the door is opened to faith conversations" with a mentee, says Jeff Dorn, former director of the Assemblies of God's MCP-funded program in Springfield, Missouri. "Having mentors know up front that [sharing faith] can be part of the program adds incentive for them to volunteer and assists with longevity."
MCP was a Bush administration faith-based initiative that paid to recruit and train volunteer mentors, who typically came from churches. Many felt inspired to work with kids living in chronic poverty with little stable adult influence in their lives.
At Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Triangle in Raleigh, North Carolina, some 90 percent of MCP-supported mentors are Christians who see mentoring as mission. Chief executive Kim Breeden said many mentors continue despite the funding cut. "We have children who go to church and to Bible study with their [mentors]," Breeden says. "The parents are very supportive of that."
However, not everyone is cheering a surge of faith in mentoring. While religion can be a "shared interest" that facilitates bonding, it can also introduce harmful dynamics if not managed carefully, says Jean Rhodes, director of the Center for Evidence-based Mentoring at the University of Massachusetts-Boston.
"There's the possibility of proselytizing and crossing ethical boundaries," says Rhodes, who helped launch MCP. "Let's say you're getting into [mentoring] because you're religious. Then you find out the kid isn't, so you try to convert him. We don't want that.
"The best mentors aren't overly didactic or overly proselytizing. So the mentors who take a faith perspective can't be too heavy-handed about it."
But others insist that exposure to religious faith benefits children. Some programs formerly supported by MCP now prefer mentors with faith convictions. Cornerstone Children in Marrero, Louisiana, offers mentoring for children who ride Catholic Charities buses to visit their parents at Angola and other state prisons.

I have one concern is every mentor investigated to see if they are an abuser. After the mess in PA we know pedophiles look for disadvantaged children to mentor. 99 percent of the mentor I am sure have a sincere desire to help kids. It is the few who can harm so many children. Please do checks on every volunteer. God bless the good volunteers.

Take AIM© Now! – Actionable Intelligence Marketing Service
Actionable Intelligence Marketing (AIM©) Service – Dental Marketing Online
I had the honor to host Daniel for the Missouri Dental Association's 2009 Summer Funfest. His Take AIM (Actionable Intelligence Marketing) lecture was so compelling I signed up as a client. In my 33 years as a General Dentist I had never done any marketing. Thanks to Daniel, we now have a new logo, new look, high-quality targeted marketing plan, and a first class website.

Associates of Dentistry, LLC, Joplin, MO
When a new dental patient presents to your dental office, the first thing you do is evaluate their condition. Only then do you proceed with a dental treatment plan, and that plan is unique to that patient. No "one-size-fits-all" treatment will do.
Similarly, your dental practice is unique, with its own set of opportunities, challenges, and goals, so we employ the same approach for your marketing needs.
The AIM© Service reveals those marketing opportunities and challenges and presents them to you in easy to understand language, with equally easy-to-understand Recommendations.
No guesswork. No flying blind.
