Fred, what a fantastically colourful under the ice world the blue people live in. I really like the last one.
Thank you all for you lovely comments on "Turn left " here is the latest one " Ready to go?" I have one more to go or maybe I have a couple more in me. Time to start thinking about our Christmas cards too if we want to do a card swop again this year. For some of you new ones some of us did an original card exchange. Every card was so different and it was fun.
9x12 pastel
Jen C & C's always welcome
Jen, another wonderful Halloween painting. Love Casper with his hand out. These have the most fantastic colour. I'm sure everyone will love them.
I am wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having. I have a couple of pieces done on watercolour paper that I want to mount onto a stretched canvas. I want to paint the canvas and then apply the paper. Does anyone know of a way to glue these to the canvas that won't harm the watercolour and will stay there? I know people doing collages paste all sorts of things to their work but I'm not sure how to do this.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Jen you are turning into an illustrator.... These are absolutely darling and telling such a story.... use them in a KODAK book and have them print it out after you have added a written story.... what a real treasure for your grandkids.... I love it....
Pastel Teachers' hands are usually chalk-full. (by Marsha Ross)
C & C Always Welcome
Karen ~ Thanks so much for your nice comments!
Jen ~ Your third Halloween pastel is great. I too, love the ghost with his hand out & kitty jumping on & the pose of your witch. Are her blue shoes made of suede, by any chance?? WANT!!!!!
Have a great weekend, y'all!
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Fred: Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
Bonnie, Marsha and Nealey, thanks so much for your support of my Halloween efforts. They are fun to do and just one more to go. I think I will use some different paper as the pastel falls of when I ping it even the soft pastel and I have to keep going over it. It is some old stuff someone gave me. Most annoying. Hopefully after all this folks will want to buy them!! Still it may amuse the grandkids.
I've always wondered how you make cards etc. from pastel paintings. Do you scan them, which I think would be hard not to smudge or take a photo? I can never get the photo to look exactly the same. Your Halloween scenes are so bright and colourful they should make great cards or invitations. Just wondering.
Fred, the painting of the blue people hooking the the old tire on the fisherman's line is hilarious and I love the expressions on the bears' faces. This is one of my favorities.
Jen, this latest pastel of the witch and her companions is just as charming as the others. I love this whole series. And, YES, let's do another holiday card swap! That was so much fun last year and I saved all of them.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Hi all, A fun trip to the Octoberfest with dancing and drinking beer at the Festhall would be complete without a trip to the Helen Arts Center
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
Fred, looks like you had a wonderful time. hope you danced a couple of polka's.....
Bonnie: a good camera will take a good picture... but for putting into a book you can have a glicee made at an art store. There is an art to taking pictures of your paintings as well. they even write books about it.
Jen: I sincerely think you might think about really good pictures before you get rid of them, I really hope you make one of everyone of your characters having a witches ball at a party for a finale of your series.... I just love them all... I died for the shoes as well.
Bonnie, here is a piece I did a couple of years ago and I used mia tentes paper for one of my values. colored pencil 10x12
it was one of our challenge photos titled "Hey Good Lookin"
This looks great Marsha. Did you use pastel over the pencil for the whites? A wonderful piece with a perfect name.
Hey Marsha, Love your painting of hay good looking, Ruthie and I do a combo 2 step polka or waltz and after a couple of beers we think we are the Astair's and we do have fun

A few days ago I made a post containing a pretty brash statement:
In the off chance that you are not paying attention to what is happening in the US right now, and increasingly around the world, the party is over folks. For those of you who have little adjustment to make when living standards and life styles see a reversion to the mean similar to what is likely to happen in the US housing market, I commend you. For those of you who face a much larger delta, I'd get started on making some adjustments right now.
I do not feel any differently now, but I do think some additional thoughts are called for.
First, I think it is important that people do their best to take a look at the various inputs in their lives and determine what biases those inputs may hold. For instance, if you get all of your news from a handful of television stations and/or cable channels, you might want to consider how those entities make their money.
Second, I think it is nearly impossible to find an individual, myself certainly included, that is not in some way perpetuating the problem.
While I'd like to think that the world is entirely made up unflinchingly aware and selfless people, I think most would agree that the opposite is true. We all, to varying degrees, have our "hooks." For some, a fat salary, expense account, and prestigious job title are motivation enough to get them to do pretty much anything. For others, the very real need to simply put food on the table in front of their children each evening is essentially unavoidable. Moreover, and with a deep nod to my good friend Alan, I mention, yet again, Mr. Stanley Milgram. And then there is invariably another group comprised of individuals completely unaware of what is going on and the distinct role they play. In short, we're all culprits, and we're all victims.
So what is a society to do? How about its citizens? What's the value in pointing out faults if you fail to offer any solutions?
In a post for another time, I'll explain the irony of how I stumbled across the following excellent, though hardly complete, list of things we can all do on a daily basis. But for now, I simply provide reference (John Perkins, The Secret History of the American Empire, Plume Printing 2008, pp.323-325) and strongly encourage everyone to check out the other ~350+ pages of the book. Here's the list:
- When tempted to engage in "retail therapy" instead jog, meditate, read, or find some other solution.
- Shop consciously if there is something you must have; purchase items whose packaging, ingredients, and methods of production are sustainable and support life.
- Make everything you own last as long as possible.
- Purchase at consignment and thrift stores where everything is recycled.
- Protest against "free" trade agreements and sweatshops.
- Write letters telling Monsanto, De Beers, ExxonMobil, Adidas, Ford, GE, Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, and other labor exploiters and environment destroyers why you refuse to purchase from them.
- Write letters praising Home Depot, Kinko's, Citicorp, Starbucks, Whole Foods, and other companies that cooperate with RAN [Rainforest Action Network], Amnesty International, and other NGOs. [My note: I'm not sure I would include most of the organizations listed here in my list of companies to praise, but perhaps more recent research into their intentions and actions is warranted.]
- Cut back on oil and gas consumption.
- Downsize your car, home, wardrobe, everything in your life.
- Send money to nonprofits, radio stations, and other organizations that promote just causes.
- Volunteer your time and energy to such organizations.
- Support local merchants.
- Encourage stores to buy from local growers, producers, and suppliers.
- Shop at your local farmers' market.
- Drink tap water (get the water company to do a better job if necessary, but avoid buying bottled water).
- Vote for enlightened school boards, commissions, ordinances, and politicians.
- Run for office.
- Insist that those who use your money–banks, pensions, mutual funds, companies–make socially and environmentally responsible investments.
- Speak out whenever forums present themselves.
- Volunteer to talk at your local school about your favorite subject (beekeeping, weaving, tennis, anything) and use it to challenge students, to wake them up.
- Discuss externalities, the costs of pollution, poor working conditions, public subsidies, corporate exemptions, and other environmental, social, and political factors that should be included in the prices we pay for goods and services but are not (discussed in Chapter 54); let people know that when we do not pay for these very real expenses we rob future generations.
- Encourage "taxes" on externalities–higher prices for gas, clothes, electricity, etc., as long as the difference pays to right social and environmental wrongs.
- Offer study groups at local libraries, bookstores, churches, and clubs.
- Expand this list and share it with everyone you know.
I agree with nearly all of the above. That said, I have a few quick additions to suggest:
- Turn off the television and pick up a book, go outside, talk to strangers, wonder at nature's beauty, plant a tree, cook… anything you can, but don't turn it on again! If you keep it up, you'll probably go through TV withdrawal for a few weeks or months (depending on your prior dependency), but you'll find that you have more energy, are less susceptible to manipulation (er…advertising), and are using your brain more.
- Learn a second language.
- Learn a third. A fourth. Keep going…
- Take up a creative pursuit–painting, photography, drawing–anything to get the creative juices flowing.
- If you are in a leadership position (dig deep and you'll find that we are all leaders: parents, managers, teachers, peers, etc.) commit to teaching empathy, compassion, and the value of life-long learning to everyone who looks to you for guidance.
- Eat. Less. Meat. (Note that I did not say, "abandon meat.") The energy you gain from eating one serving of meat (via calories) requires enormous inputs (energy) and with very real externalities (toxic waste in the form of festering feces in vast industrial farms, displaced land that could have been used to raise more efficient crops, etc.). The same equivalent in caloric content from vegetarian fare is far more energy efficient, and quite frankly, a heck of a lot healthier anyway (assumes that the meat option and the vegetarian option were both sourced locally).
- Look into what your employer is doing to positively benefit society, the environment, and the rights of all individuals. Find the negatives as well. Support what they are doing well, and create and suggest solutions to eliminate or mitigate the negatives.
- Have integrity. Do the right thing. Stand for something. Believe in yourself.

I have been looking into creating a site that incorporates multiple area artists' work into a centralized shopping experience. Basically, there would be an option to purchase the original and an option to purchase a print.
I am looking for a cart/merchant processing solution that follows through to a local printer of my choice (based on [quarterly?] renegotiations based on through-put and vendor performance). Although I am familiar with online sites that process prints (and have their own solutions) it would be preferred if I could use a local.
Which solutions allow for vendor selection? Are these solutions cumbersome in comparison with those sites that you simply upload the pictures and wait for processing? (...and yes, they're pretty decent prints from those sites so assume quality is equal across the board).

Specimens for aquarium
Question: What are the explicit regulations concerning the collection of live marine organisms for use in a personal marine aquarium? I am interested in collecting octopus. From what I understand, live fish are not to be taken under any circumstances. But it seems that some other organisms are allowed as long as they do not come from a protected area. I am a marine biology student who wants to have a simple native "tide pool type" of aquarium for my own personal delight. I do have a California sport fishing license.
—Cristiana A.
Answer: Octopus may be collected for a home aquarium and transported live under the authority of a sport fishing license as long as they are exclusively for that person's personal aquarium display. Maintaining live sport-taken octopus in a home aquarium is not considered public "display" and thus does not fall under the provisions of the marine aquaria pet trade (Fish and Game Code, sections 8596 – 8597). Transporting live "finfish" (as opposed to mollusks and crustaceans) is prohibited (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 1.62).
Invertebrates collected under the authority of a sport fishing license may not be used to establish breeding colonies for sale or trade with other people. Any trading, selling or possession for sale or trade of these animals constitutes commercial marine aquaria pet trade activity and requires all parties to hold "marine aquaria collectors permits" authorizing this practice. A marine collector's permit is also required for any animals on display for the public.
People collecting live marine invertebrates for a home aquarium may do so only under the authority of a sport fishing license, and only those species allowed under a sport fishing license may be taken. In addition, any species with sport fishing restrictions (e.g. bag, size, possession, season limits, methods of take, etc.) are still covered under those regulations, and so collectors must abide by these laws.
Rods to land final fish
Question: When legally fishing with two rods and you are one fish shy of your limit, can you still fish with two rods or do you need to cut back to just one for the final fish to fill your limit?
—Neil M.
Answer: You can keep using both rods until you get your limit.
Premium deer tags
Question: I have a question about premium deer tags. When reading the California Department of Fish and Wildlife definition of what determines if a tag is premium, it is very clear and I understand it. What I have not found is information that clarifies the procedure for a premium tag becoming unrestricted.
If a tag is premium and the quota does not fill on or before the first business day after July 1, does it become an unrestricted tag the following year? That would make sense; however, when I look back at the drawing statistics in past years I have noticed it is not always what happens. As an example, A22 was a premium tag from 2003 through 2008 even though most of the 1,000 tags were left over each of those years. In 2009 it went back to unrestricted. This year A22 and A31 were premium and did not fill in the drawing. Will they still be premium next year?
—Steve B.
Answer: Under the current regulations:
A Premium Deer Hunt is any hunt where the quota filled on or before the first business day after July 1 of the previous year.
A Restricted Deer Hunt is any hunt that filled on or before the first business day after Aug. 1 of the previous year.
An Unrestricted Deer Hunt is any hunt that did not fill on or before the first business day after Aug. 1 in the previous year.
The examples you provided occurred before the current regulations were adopted. The tag classification regulations that we have now where adopted in the 2009 big game drawing season.
This year, the deer tag quotas for A22 and A31 both filled July 2, which is the first business day after July 1, so A22 and A31 will remain premium tags next year. The date in which a deer tag fills is the determining factor of which classification a tag is listed under, not whether the tag quota fills in the drawing or not. With this in mind, hunters need to pay close attention to which classification their tags are listed in each license year.

Growing Pains: Challenges of a Growing Business
As the owner of a small marketing agency, a professional who is very often executing a one-man show as an outside consultant, I don't often get to observe other companies' sales pitches. I guess that one part of me has remained curious and puzzled about what is presented and how others perform at that opportunistic 'show off your capabilities, leave an impression, and land the project' meeting. The concern that others always execute better and that they are superior public speakers (yes, a complex of not being a native English speaker) has served as both motivation and stage fright, forces that have cancelled out one another on each occasion.
Although this has primarily fueled my curiosity and allowed me to engage in healthy discussions, I recently heard about a situation in which an agency, following an unsuccessful pitch, repeatedly asked the potential client for direct advice, ideas for improving the proposal for future purposes, and wrapping up with "what exactly did the other company propose?". Yeah, what's the secret formula for Coca Cola? Don't people understand the concept of having a competitive advantage, where the whole point is that someone offers something that others don't?
This post won't be about competitive advantage, but about the challenges that growing businesses face even when they start with a well-defined competitive advantage. My fascination with the topic of business growth, as well as challenges that growing businesses face, started with a series of conversations and observations about the topic. Of particular interest are the central figures in the story, the founders, who just like their business started a journey of growth and adjustment, and ended up as considerably different versions of themselves.
The typical story starts with a couple of outstanding professionals who decide to start their own company. Tired of seeing injustice or inconsistency in execution, they believe that they have the right know-how and relationships to break out and do something differently. Each contributes a different set of skills and expertise, and the ultimate product(s) / service(s) has the potential for a very bright future. Not surprisingly, the business takes off:
• they are enthusiastic about what they do
• they roll up the their sleeves and actually do the work
• they know all about the company's product(s), service(s), and processes
• they pride themselves on delivering customized solutions and knowing their customers
• they clearly define the company's expertise
Some years later, the founders / senior management acknowledge that they have succeeded, but could exceed even their own initial expectations and grow the business even faster if they would:
• become more efficient, reprioritizing certain activities and trying to get into a routine
• outsource their work to become more productive and cost-effective
• implement new standards and consistencies (i.e., templates and frameworks)
• branch out into related areas that have high demand
So they implement a series of changes and get their business moving in the fast lane – their baby grows…a lot, like Alice in Wonderland with the 'eat me' cookie. Business booms, with multiple offices in emerging markets, a growing list of Fortune 500 clients, and several additional practice areas helping fuel unparalleled growth of the business. Along the way, various challenges are successfully overcome and valuable lessons learned. But, something is lost in the process – growth came with a price.
Some years later, the founders become absorbed in delivering sales pitches and proposals full-time. They realize how far they have come from more humble beginnings and, now and then, become too overconfident and even arrogant. No longer the same energetic entrepreneurs they once were, they now focus too much on efficiency and business development:
• they have lost the enthusiasm that was obvious when facing clients
• they have lost their expertise as they no longer work in the field
• they no longer know the details of their products / services, which are instead being developed, tested, and improved by others
• their business has become a mass producer of 'customized' products thanks to the standards and templates they have implemented
• their business has branched out into too many areas and they no longer develop proposals simply for what they do best, but offer solutions for whatever the client needs, providing at moment's notice slides and frameworks
The most overlooked and perhaps trickiest detail when growing a business is actually growing yourself accordingly and staying true to who you are and what you do. Don't forget the core values with which you started your venture. Don't forget the competitive advantage that helped your business grow, and don't forget yourself in the process, because there is some truth in growing your business, yet staying young and foolish at heart.

I want to thank Marcus for sending me some samples to test out before I orderd me 10lbs of somthing. Heres what I got
Whey Blend
Peaches & Cream
I mixed this with my oatmeal. It mixed up real nice with 1cup oats. To be honest I wasn't really impressed. There wasn't much of a flavor really, actually it gave it a weird taste but.........I threw in some cinn. and BAM!!!! It made the peach flavor more noticable for some reason. Throwing a scoop of this and a little cinn. is a really easy and not so bad way to get more protien.
Choc & Banana
I mixed 1 packet of each into ~10oz Hood low-carb milk. Mixed up real nice, no clumps. The taste was nice. It wasn't over powering with fake sweetners which is huge with me. It's not somthing I could drink all day but I could get down with ease once/day.
Choc. Mint
I'm pissed about this one!!!! I'm pissed because no one has made a big deal on HOW GOOD THIS IS!!!!!. I love this strong mint taste and smooth choc taste. I mixed it with ~10oz Hood Milk. This is what I really wanted to try. It's not as good as Syntha-6 choc mint but its waaaay more economical and it has 1/2 the calories that Syntha-6 has. I think if I added some Heavy Whipping Cream it would become creamier like Syntha-6. I will be buying 10lbs of this stuff. It is WAAAAY better than ON choc. mint
I stil have to try the Optimum Blend Choc Mint. I'll try it with breakfast 2maro and can't wait.

Oral Methylnaltrexone for Opioid-Induced Constipation |
An oral formulation of methylnaltrexone met the primary and key secondary end points in a study that examined its effectiveness in relieving constipation related to opioid use for noncancer-related pain. The findings were presented here at Digestive Disease Week 2012. Opioid use for chronic noncancer-related pain can be complicated by dose-limiting opioid-induced constipation (OIC). Subcutaneous methylnaltrexone is a peripherally acting selective μ-opioid receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of OIC in patients with advanced illness around the world. This multicenter, phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging study evaluated an oral formulation of the product. "Oral methylnaltrexone daily significantly increased the proportion of rescue-free bowel movements [RFBMs] and decreased the time to first RFBM in a dose-dependent manner in patients with OIC," said John F. Peppin, MD, from the Pain Treatment Center in Lexington, Kentucky. "The efficacy of the oral formulation was comparable to subcutaneous injection." The effectiveness of oral methylnaltrexone in this study was comparable to that reported in clinical studies of subcutaneous methylnaltrexone in subjects with chronic noncancer-related pain. The researchers randomly assigned 804 individuals to placebo or to methylnaltrexone tablets 150 mg, 300 mg, or 450 mg for 12 weeks (daily for 4 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of as-needed dosing). Subjects had been taking at least 50 mg of oral morphine equivalents per day for at least one month for chronic noncancer-related pain and had a history of OIC. The primary end point was the percentage of doses resulting in a RFBM within four hours of dosing during the 4-week daily dosing period. RFBM was defined as a bowel movement that occurs without laxative use in the previous 24 hours. Response was defined as at least three RFMBs per week, with an increase from baseline of at least one RFBM per week, during at least three of the first four weeks. There were two key secondary end points: the proportion of subjects with at least three RFBMs per week and an increase of at least one RFBM per week from baseline for at least three of four weeks; and the change in weekly RFBMs from baseline during daily dosing. Drug Increased Laxative-Free Bowel Movements"In the intent-to-treat analysis, oral methylnaltrexone 300 mg and 450 mg significantly increased the percentage of doses resulting in any RFBM within 4 hours," Dr. Peppin reported. "This was true for the [daily dosing] period, which was the primary end point, and for the overall 12-week study period." A RFBM occurred within 4 hours of dosing in 18.1% of the placebo group, 27.4 % of the methylnaltrexone 450 mg group (P < .0001), 24.6% of the 300 mg group (P = .0040), and 21.0% of the 150 mg group (P = .3078). A key secondary end point at least three RFBMs per week with an increase of at least one RFBM per week from baseline was met with 300 mg and 450 mg daily. The percentage of subjects responding during the daily dosing period was 36.8% with placebo, 50.5% with methylnaltrexone 450 mg (P = .0083), 47.8% with 300 mg (P = .0321), and 41.3% with 150 mg (not statistically significant). This translated into an 80% improvement in response with the 450 mg dose and a 55% improvement with 300 mg. Mean change in weekly number of RFBMs from baseline, during the daily dosing period, was 1.7 with placebo, 2.4 with 450 mg (P = .0088), 2.4 with 300 mg (P = .0088), and 1.9 with 150 mg (not statistically significant). These findings were maintained throughout the entire 12 weeks, including the daily dosing and as-needed phases, Dr. Peppin reported. Analyses based on the primary end point demonstrated a linear dose-response for the two active doses (P < .0001) over 28 days of once-daily dosing. Dr. Peppin discussed his own experience with the drug. "I have patients who literally want to go off opioids because their constipation is so bad. From my experience, patients respond well to this drug and there is quite a bit of satisfaction when it works, although it does not work in all patients." The incidence of adverse events was similar in the methylnaltrexone and placebo groups, with the most common being abdominal pain (6.8% vs 6.0%), nausea (4.7% vs 5.5%), flatulence (4.0% vs 4.5%), and diarrhea (3.3% vs 2.0%). Serious adverse events were seen in 3% of the methylnaltrexone group and 4% of the placebo group; none were considered to be related to the study drug. "There were no notable differences in clinical or laboratory results, vital signs, ECG findings, or use of concomitant medications," he said. In addition, "mean opioid withdrawal scores and pain scores did not demonstrate any clinically significant change from baseline." Moderators of the late-breaking abstract session, Maria T. Abreu, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Miami School of Medicine in Florida, and Gianrico Farrugia, MD, from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told Medscape Medical News that the availability of an oral formulation of methylnaltrexone would be a big advantage for patients. "But it's extraordinarily expensive," Dr. Abreu pointed out, "at least the subcutaneous drug. It's something you only use once or twice." Whether patients will use it regularly, as they did in this study, remains to be seen, she said. Dr. Peppin reports consulting for Salix, which sponsored the study, and serving on the Salix advisory board. Dr. Abreu reports consulting for Takeda and Abbott. Dr. Farrugia has disclosed no relevant financial relationships. Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2012: Abstract 943a. Presented May 22, 2012. Caroline Helwick Medscape Medical News © 2012 WebMD, LLC |

Rabbis call on Apple to ban anti-Semitic iTunes book
Apple is again facing controversy over an item being sold through iTunes.
The Conference of European Rabbis wants Apple to remove a book known as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," which is being sold as a 99-cent e-book through iTunes.
The Protocols, which surfaced early in the 20th century, purports to reveal a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. The book has since been discredited as a fake but was used by Nazis and is still used by some hate groups to justify their anti-Semitism.
The rabbis are concerned that the book's availability in … Read more
