Artist Yun-Fei Ji Exhibits New Works on Paper at James Cohan Gallery

James Cohan Gallery
presents their second gallery exhibition by Chinese expatriate artist Yun-Fei Ji, opening February 19 and running through March 27. The exhibition will include new works on paper as well as Ji's artist's book, 'Migrants from the Three Gorges Dam', recently published by the Library Council of The Museum of Modern Art, NY.
Yun-Fei Ji was born and raised in China during the Cultural Revolution. Separated from his parents at the age of two, Ji grew up on a collective farm outside Hangzhou where, in the absence of TV and radio, he was kept entertained by his grandmother's telling of ghost stories and folk tales. At the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, Ji studied traditional painting techniques with mineral pigments on mulberry paper in the style of Song Dynasty landscape painting. After relocating to the United States in 1986 on a fellowship from Fulbright College at the University of Arkansas, Ji found his voice as an artist who reinvents the system of symbolic structures found in classical Chinese painting to expose the dark side of industrial development on contemporary life. As Ji states, "I use landscape painting to explore the utopian dreams of Chinese history, from past collectivization to new consumerism."
In this new body of work, Ji continues to make reference to the historical in order to connect with the contemporary. Ji revisits the treasure chest of folk legends he grew up with while also exploring classical texts such as Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, a collection of ghost stories by the 18th century author Pu Songling. Ji's paintings, populated by fantastical creatures, animal spirits and monstrous ghosts, take their inspiration from these tall tales to offer a critique on the fallibility and corruption of Chinese leaders as their subtext. Like in the ancient stories, Ji's ghosts are stand-ins, free to express themselves in ways not allowed to people living under tightly controlled social and political hierarchies.
Ji's interest in the French libertarian writer, the Marquis de Sade, has also provided inspiration for his new works. Ji draws parallels between the debauched noblemen in de Sade's tales and the Chinese communist leaders, whose hubris caused them to fall prey to sexual misconduct and other vices while expecting the public to be self sacrificing. In the painting Pleasures of the Party Boss (2009), Ji's use of bamboo in the foreground alludes to its traditional symbolism of purity, humbleness and the upstanding moral qualities that are extolled in Confucius philosophy thus providing a stinging yet subtle contrast to the decadent scene.
Also on view is Ji's new artist book, Migrants from The Three Gorges Dam, which is presented in the form of a scroll. This work is another representation of Ji's continuing endeavor to portray the social and psychological upheaval caused by the building and subsequent flooding of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China. This 32-foot long, gradually unfolding narrative tells the story of the tragic effects of the project on those dispossessed by the Dam and the resulting loss of the rich culture from the Three Gorges region. The scroll consists of hand-printed paper mounted on silk that was made with over 500 hand carved, pear wood blocks. It was printed at the famous Rongbaozhai studio (the 'Studio of Glorious Treasures'), which was once closely associated with Beijing's imperial enclave in the Forbidden City. Rongbaozhai studio still makes prints and scrolls in the style it developed over a thousand years ago and has been declared a "rare intangible cultural property" by the Chinese government. Like Ji's paintings, this edition is populated with naturalistic and symbolic images of places and people, from 'floating weeds,' an ancient Chinese phrase for displaced people to phantasmagoric beasts. At end of the scroll, Ji 's calligraphy tells the long history of Chinese ambitions to tame the Yangtze.
Yun-Fei Ji received the 2006 American Academy Prix de Rome fellowship and residency, and, in 2007, was artist-in-residence at Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art London. In 2005, Ji was artist-in-residence at Yale University where he conducted extensive research with the institution's scholars. Ji's important solo museum exhibition, The Empty City, 2004, originated at the Contemporary Art Museum (St. Louis) and toured to the Rose Museum, Brandeis University, and the Peeler Art Center, DePauw University. In 2004, the exhibition Yun-Fei Ji: The East Wind was organized at the ICA, University of Pennsylvania. Ji's work has been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the United States and Europe including the Whitney Biennial 2002. In 2008, Displacement: The Three Gorges Dam and Contemporary Chinese Art, an exhibition of four Chinese artists originated at the Smart Museum of Art, Chicago, IL and continues to tour nationally. Yun-Fei Ji lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Eight free workshops from The Ohio State University will be presented at Shawnee State University beginning Monday, Sept. 17 in Room 214 at the University Center.
"In every class we have a fun exercise activity, taste a recipe that we sometimes cook together in the class, and everyone takes home a tool to help them practice what they have learned," said Renee Storey, OSU program assistant who teaches the class.
New recipes, healthy meals, food safety and saving money are all scheduled in a series of eight workshops with food to taste and a handy kitchen tool to take home.
The Ohio State University's Food and Nutrition Education Program is geared for families with children.
"The goal of the classes is to raise a generation that will grow up healthier than we did, in the hopes that they will have decreased strokes, heart disease and diabetes as they age," Storey said. "Many of the diseases we deal with can be controlled or eliminated with diet and exercise."
Although most of the classes are on Mondays at 5:30 p.m., the second class will be on Tuesday, September 25 at 5:30 p.m.
To preregister, contact Renee at the Extension office with your name and contact information at (740) 354-7879 or e-mail at email@example.com.

A two year old boy allegedly abducted from the northern Brisbane suburb of Zillmere by his mother, has been located about 800 kilometres away in New South Wales.
Police said the boy was found safe at an address in Merriwa, in the Hunter region, about 3.15pm on Monday.
Investigations into the boy's disappearance will continue, police have confirmed.
The two-year-old boy was taken from a Zillmere property and then walked to Centro Taigum shopping centre, police say. Photo: Supplied.
On Sunday, the boy's mother was reportedly seen taking the boy from the Beams Road house and then walking him to the nearby Centro Taigum Shopping Centre.
The boy and his mother had reportedly been visiting his father at Zillmere, where he was staying with the boy's grandparents.
The boy's grandparents reported him missing on Sunday night and police issued a formal child abduction alert shortly after midnight.
Anyone with information is urged to call 131 564.

i had the same problem with coretemp on my FX 4100 when i was 4.2GHz it said my temp was 255c now i use blackbox or HWinfo
I was about to post Real Temp is more for Intel, try Aida64, the new one is full of sensor info, voltage, temps etc and in my experience, very accurate. Also Open Hardware Monitor is a quality free program
yea i think its because a lot of programs don't fully support FX Edit: with an H80 you can easily hit 4.8GHz
Nope but last year i had the same problem with my old PC but i didnt catch the source..... just hope that it wouldn't come back ^^
Get a HDD , instead of a fancy mouse what about that noise, did ya figured out or located it somewhere ? what is the temp on load (eg 1 hour bf3) ?
I love how people try to force the opinion that Intel is the only way to build a rig. Glad to see your rig is up and running got any pics of it in the case?
WORD Bro ! yeeeah mee too, i have given him a camera, might still at the RTFM point We want Pictures Dude !!!!!!!!!!! (else everybody can say i have diz , that ) hahaha
The Temps (tested with ycruncher) 100% Load 36°C MAX It's F***ing awesome =D and Some Pics will follow but @ first i've to install my new LED's ^^
Next week i will buy me a SSD...... But which one should i choose? There R so many of them... I need it for WIndows and games like BF3... so 128GB should be enough!
OMG hey m8s.... I think I've found the source of that Noice and that crashes...Its my HDD.... The Spinpoint F3 is the Source... 2 Friends have the same Problem and.... they also have the Spinpoint. So now i've bought a 500GB Seagate HDD and IT RUNS no problems,Lags or things like that maybe its a problem on the Spinpoint Series? Soo after my Holidays, i will FINALLY buy me a SSD and Maybe a second HD6970 and use the crossfire Option... C YA ON THA BATTLEFIELD M8'S
Congrats on your RIG!(could do with better pics).. take good care of it.. Spinpoint F3 is among the better performing HDDs and I guess reliability is not an issue with it, generally.. as for SSD, I would prefer any among Intel, Samsung, Corsair, Crucial & Kingston(hyperX)...
*UPDATE* Yeah im Back and i've something new ^^ Finally i bought a SSD Mooooaaaar Pics will follow But atm I've to concentrate me on school ^^

Emily Campbell
Art forms: Visual artist, community artist, public artist, designer, illustration
Summary: About Emily Campbell's practice:
Through the use of photography my practice seeks to create a world that on the one hand is real and on the other – imaginary. Using digital imaging, I effectively 'paint with photographs'. Each image is made up of many smaller photographs enabling me to create surreal and magical scenarios.
The work I create for Public Commissions seeks to create an uplifting yet calming environment. Often working with a creative writer in the community, I visualise the poetic texts created about the local area. Large surreal vistas are installed as light boxes or printed onto Perspex, allowing the visitor views of their locality possibly only before seen in their dreams.
Locations: National
Experience: I have many years experience working in the Public Realm. All my work starts with workshops in the community, which inspire the final artworks. Recent projects include, a series of light boxes for Fulbourn Hospital, Wolverhampton Kings High School and Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital. Please email me for a full CV.

Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2001 honours Geoffrey R. Linton, Technical Manager, Yalumba. Corpulent and round he sits, carefully filling a spoonful of lemon curd tartlet, crème fraise and blackberry coulis, the pizza and scallops are long gone. "So Geoff, why a lifetime fascination with matters scientific?" "It's a fact of life that the most interesting things in the world are actually in the world of the sciences. Everything in my world has an answer, a solution. It's a fact of chemistry or physics or natural science. I find people infinitely more challenging plus I have a dreadful memory for names. Imagine me in sales. Human relations terrify me. Sparkling wine is still a great passion and right now I'm looking at ways to unlock more of the flavours of wine, the terpenes and thiols. Geoff, loving husband to Ros and father to Sarah and Rachael and a mad motorcyclist to boot, has been the titan of technology at Yalumba and a key member of many Australian wine industry technical institutions for over 30 years. He loves good food and wine which he deserves and we happily provide! "Shall we have a cheese plate or perhaps another pudding?" he enquires.

Sally's Pins
Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.
Spring has sprung and is in full force, which sadly means it is the start of tornado season. Keeping Oklahoma in my prayers tonight with the storms rolling through.
I felt the winds first hand today on my eight mile run. There is nothing fun about running eight miles, but in windy weather it is a nightmare. I survived…barely. I recouped by browsing Pinterest for my weekly edition of Sally's Pins.
Hunger Games Movie: I am counting down the days until this movie comes out. If you have not read the book, there is still time. It was so good I wanted to finish it in a day. I cannot wait until this weekend!
Vincent Van Gogh Inspired Outfit: I love the idea of using paintings as inspirations for outfits. I need to head over to Polyvore and try it out.
Vegetarian Onion Soup: Yum! Yum! Onion soup was one of my favorites growing up. I am dying to try this vegetarian version. Just look at that dripping cheese.
Layered Mediterranean Dip: The only layered dip I have had is 7 Layer Bean Dip. How fun is the spin with a Mediterranean twist.
Mini Pom Pom: Okay, this looks too easy. What can I do with a Mini Pom Pom because I want to try this?
Caramelized Peach and Brie Quesadilla with Honey: After eating the Apple Turkey Quesadillas this week, I want to eat all things quesadilla. This versions sounds even better than what we had.
Paper Lantern Hot Air Balloons: There are so many creative people out there. I never would have thought of this! It is so smart.
Kickin Cashew Chicken: I try to stay away from meat, but this chicken looks very tempting.
9 Cold, Hard Weight Loss Truths: Sometimes you need to be reminded of the truth…
Spinach Lasagna Rolls: These look so easy to serve, but I bet they taste even better. I love the idea of rolled lasagna.
Tin Can Vases: Repurposing things, makes me happy. This idea is too cute not to do.
Grow Green Onions: I need to try this for myself. I eat too many green onions not to do this.
Super Mario Bathroom: This made me die laughing. I love the pipe leading to the toilet. This is too funny!
Vertical Salad Gardens: I need to spice up my garden. I guess not technically spice it up since it is full of peppers, but I do need to add some variety.
Chevron Dog Harness: This would look so cute on Nellie and Doug! I do enjoy putting them in a harness for their walks.
I could spend hours on Pinterest!!!
Have you had any bad weather this week?

Be interesting to get opinions from others on this.
Be interesting to get opinions from others on this.
Sorry, I don't see the point in any of this approach other than for the ASC to stick its grubby fingers into post... Again... Following the crushing success of their CDL workflow...
Don't get me wrong, I get their notion that the cinematographer is the author of the images, even if I believe it's not strictly true anymore, but would they enjoy the colorist turning up on set to tell them how to place the lights?
The use of 16 bit linear is more interesting as I suspect that's the future but I would argue that the amount of extra processing required puts it at the limit of viability right now with the computers we currently have, especially in a real-time grading environment.
What sort of equivalency is that??? A colorist telling a cinematographer where to place a light is like a cinematographer telling a colorist how to color a shot? The colorist is supposed to SERVE the cinematographer -- they are not equal collaborators on the image, they are not co-authors of the image. You don't see the colorists name in the main credits.
I respect what colorists do, enormously, but when they start suggesting that they have some sort of equal rights over the image creation as the cinematographer and that the cinematographer has no business getting into the post side of image manipulation, their egos have run away with themselves. The responsibilities of a cinematographer don't end once the image is shot, just as it didn't end in the photochemical days with the processing of the negative -- it was a negative-positive system. It's like saying that Ansel Adams should have just concentrated on his photo-taking and handed off the printing to someone else.
You are so right Mr. Mullen. :-) I enjoyed reading that rebuttal a whole lot. Yes a colorist does serve the DP... enough said.
The evolution of technology is changing both the image authoring toolset itself and the options for wielding the tools. In addition to lighting, production design, etc - the typical Director of Photography circa 1995 relied on filtration, lens selection, stock selection, printer lights, etc to give the image the tone and feel they desired. As we push into the new paradigm DPs can decide to use digital tools to accomplish many of the same things. In many cases, they have more control sitting next to their colorist than anything the 1st AC can put on the camera.
I think it is time to move beyond the arbitrary divisions of the image making process and embrace the power at our fingertips. The DP should be involved in the image crafting pipeline from beginning to end, making informed choices about when and how to manipulate the image. Leverage the power of the RAW image data and the increasingly sophisticated image processing options in virtual telecine/post.
FWIW the IIF/ACES program looks to be a huge step in the right direction in this brave new multi-format world. At the risk of oversimplification, the ACES benchmark provides a fixed point of reference for mastering/grading with input and output transforms used to compensate for specific sources and displays. The ASC/CDL has been great for some projects and pipelines but cannot encompass as many workflows as IIF/ACES.
I urge anyone interested in this area to read up on the spec.
Cheers - #19
It would be nice to be able to present every acquired or VFX produced image in the same color space and gamma. This way every step in post processing could be greatly simplified with less possibilities of gamma and gamut mismatch as it was sighted in the article in an example of Open EXR vs 10 bit DPX. Said that, it remains an open question if IIF-ACES will eventually become that solution.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if i've read this right, they still convert to 10bit log for grading in Lustre. Does Lustre not support EXR yet? Then what is it they're hyping?
I don't see much point in converting everything to 16bit linear pipeline when the grading platform is a 10bit log bottleneck. And how on earth can they claim better results?
From the article:
Ok, maybe they're just applying a log curve but not losing bit-depth?For Justified, which is colored on an Autodesk Lustre at Encore Hollywood, there's one more tweak — the data in the 16-bit linearized ACES-encoded file is "quickly re-encoded into a log format," Clark says, so that Lustre's log toolset can be used for grading rather than its more video-centric (i.e., lift-gain-gamma) linear adjustments, which aren't appropriate for the wide-gamut ACES data. The data is re-linearized after grading takes place.
Maybe someone with Lustre experience may explain this.
ACES has nothing to do with the ASC other than the participation of some rather esteemed ASC members on the tech committee. The IIF/ACES project was developed and is managed under the auspices of the Science and Technology council of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, led by Ray Feeney and Andy Maltz. And FYI, the CDL has been and is rather widely used for exchange of basic grading information between production and post on a regular basis, at least in Los Angeles.
I don't know why you're so hostile to something you probably haven't either participated in or tried. I have been involved in testing of the system and can honestly say that it is very promising. The only real limitation at the moment is finalization of the rendering transform and characterizing of more cameras so that it can fulfill its promise.
Mike, would you mind writing an entry about the IIF/ACES workflow on your blog? I think a lot of people look to you for insight into the post workflow world (myself included).

text: AlertThe Patient Becomes the HealerNovember 9, 2012This article is part of the Fall 2012 issue of the MSF Alert newsletter. South Sudan 2012 © John Stanmyer/VII Photo Three decades ago, when Francis Gatluak was a boy, civil war forced his family to flee their small village in Unity State, in the northern reaches of what is now South Sudan. They relocated to another village, Bao, where Francis' older brother became a nurse. Later, he went to work in the town of Leer, about a day's walk away, in a primary care clinic run by MSF. Merely surviving in the midst of a fierce and often bloody conflict was a notable achievement. But in the late 1980s, people began coming to the Leer project close to death, thin, weak, and in pain. Health workers did not know what was happening. These weren't war wounds, but the condition was killing people. Francis's brother soon fell ill as well and was treated with typhoid medication. Francis went to Leer to take care of him, taking him home when he started to feel better. But Francis's brother soon took a turn for the worse, and Francis and another man carried him back to Leer on a narrow wooden bed—an exhausting three-day journey. His brother, however, died soon after they arrived. After walking back to Bao, Francis, too, began to feel sick. "My body was hot, I had fever, and after a while, I felt like I had something growing in my stomach," he recalls. "They gave me traditional medicine, but it was not helping. So I said, 'Okay, I don't need to be like my brother,' waiting until he was too weak to go to the hospital. I started walking to Leer." Eighteen other sick people walked with Francis. At this point, in 1989, MSF was testing for a little known disease called kala azar, a disease that thrives in poor, unstable areas with limited health care. Known to scientists as visceral leishmaniasis, kala azar is spread by the bite of a sandfly. Its symptoms include an enlarged spleen and fever. Patients often seem to be wasting away physically. Unity State was then a perfect breeding ground for kala azar. A famine had left people particularly vulnerable to illness, and waves of displaced people with no natural immunity to the disease were moving into the area—both results of Sudan's civil war. At the time, though, MSF could not carry out the diagnostic test in Leer. Blood samples were sent to a lab in Nairobi and it took a month to get results. Francis's first test for kala azar came back negative, but a second sample came back positive—two months after he had arrived. Most of the people he walked with to Leer did not last as long. "We were 18 people, and 15 of them died before they got any medication," he says. "In other instances, entire families were sick. In one village, 90 percent of the people tested were diagnosed with kala azar." When Francis got his diagnosis, however, he was able to start treatment: two painful daily injections of sodium stibogluconate (SSG) for 30 days. Developed in the 1930s, this treatment is toxic enough to kill some patients, but it was all that was available at the time. In 2002, MSF began treating patients with a 17-day combination regimen of SSG and the drug paromomycin, which was safer and more effective. Despite its advantages, though, and its suitability for treating the strain of kala azar found in East Africa, this protocol is not safe for severely ill or elderly patients or pregnant women. Instead, those patients—and people coinfected with HIV—are given an intravenous treatment of liposomal amphotericin B, which is more effective for this cohort and much less toxic. It's also very expensive, however, and better suited to the strain of kala azar in India, which restricts its wider use in South Sudan. Francis endured the difficult SSG treatment and recovered. Since he spoke some English, the staff asked him if he would stay and work with them as a translator. He did this for a few months, developing a desire to do more. "I started to learn about how I can help the patient," he says. "If there are people who can give medication, I can also help to do the job, and help the community." He began assisting with treatment and learning to provide care, then took another bold step that wound up saving many lives. "At the treatment center in Leer, there was no one who was from Leer," he recounts. "I knew that all the patients came from the area that I came from." Nearly all the cases in Leer, and hundreds of other displaced people treated by MSF, hailed from a famine-stricken area called Duar, near Bao. Francis urged MSF to go to Duar and provide treatment there. MSF agreed to send an exploratory team. Francis went with them. "I was not really thinking to be a medical person...But after all of the death I saw and after my treatment, I felt that this is the most important thing that I can now do." "We went and found some homes where there was nobody," he says. "Sometimes, we would find only skeleton bones." In other instances, entire families were sick. In one village, 90 percent of the people tested were diagnosed with kala azar. The epidemic in Unity State lasted from 1984 to 1994 and claimed more than 100,000 lives, one-third of the area's population. Francis's initiative spurred MSF to establish a clinic in Duar in 1990, where around 10,000 people were treated for kala azar in the first year alone. MSF treated a total of 19,000 patients with kala azar in what is now South Sudan between 1989 and 1995, and in the years since, MSF has continued both to work and advocate on behalf of kala azar patients, people suffering from what's known as a "neglected tropical disease" that could still greatly benefit from new medications and diagnostic tools but is often ignored by research and development. Francis also stayed connected with MSF. Today, in fact, he is a nurse in his twenty-third year working with the organization. He has gone on MSF assignments in other African countries and recently returned to the Leer hospital, where he is now in charge of the tuberculosis ward. And he recently traveled to Washington, DC, to speak on the organization's behalf when MSF was awarded the highly-esteemed 2012 J. William Fulbright Award for International Understanding. Even among the many dedicated people working for MSF, his story is exceptional, a journey born of the hardship he both witnessed and experienced. "I was not really thinking to be a medical person," he said. "But after all of the death I saw and after my treatment, I felt that this is the most important thing that I can now do."

Dreaming of a Green Christmas
Making Your Holiday Tree Eco-Friendly
- By Jess Blumberg
- Smithsonian.com, December 12, 2007, Subscribe
When New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Radio City Rockettes lit the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center this year, more than 30,000 multi-colored bulbs sparkled on the 84-foot-tall Norway Spruce. But instead of the usual incandescent bulbs, they were LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, which emit more light per watt—ultimately saving the same amount of energy consumed by a typical 2,000-square-foot house in one month. City officials hope that this energy-saving technique will inspire others to have a truly green Christmas tree this season.
Experts say it is not that difficult to make holiday trees eco-friendly. "You can make simple changes that don't affect the way you celebrate the holidays, but will reduce environmental problems," says Jennifer Hattam, lifestyle editor at the Sierra Club.
The real versus artificial tree debate crops up every year, but environmentalists have come to a pretty clear-cut consensus: Natural is better. About 450 million trees are currently grown on farms in the U.S., according to the National Christmas Tree Association. "Buying a real tree is not depleting the forests," says Rick Dungey, a spokesman for the association. "It's like buying any food or fiber product."
Environmental experts also point out that tree farms provide oxygen, diminish carbon dioxide and create jobs. While 85 percent of fake trees are imported from China, the U.S. Christmas tree industry creates more than 100,000 U.S. jobs. And although fake trees can be used year after year, most are made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. When produced or burned, they release dioxins that can cause liver cancer and developmental problems, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Those looking to purchase a real tree have several options. While not abundant, organic farms around the country offer locally grown, pesticide-free trees and wreaths. Buying from tree farms that use integrated pest management (IHP), which is a biological, rather than chemical, method of pest control is another option. For example, growers release ladybugs that kill plant-eating aphids. "It recreates the natural cycle," says Stacey Gonzalez of the Center for Health, Environment and Justice, who added that IHP is 30 percent cheaper than conventional pesticides.
Another recent trend is "balled and burlapped" or "living" trees, where farmers grow the Christmas tree's roots into a ball and wrap it in a burlap sack. These trees can be used for two weeks, and then replanted outside in warmer regions. Some companies will deliver the trees and then pick them up to replant them after the holidays.
Those trimming the tree can also make other holiday decorations more environmentally friendly. Aside from the energy-saving LEDs, organic ornaments are available at fair-trade companies, which work to ensure that artisans get equitable compensation for their labor.
As with all other waste, environmentalists stress the importance of recycling Christmas trees, which can be turned into compost or mulch. But they caution that a tree with tinsel or fake snow spray cannot be recycled. Most "treecycling" is done on a local level and regional extension agencies are the best resources for that information. But Earth911.org and the National Christmas Tree Association keep a national database.

The idea of a live Christmas tree that can be replanted sounds good, but depending on how it was grown and harvested, may be very environmentally damaging. If the balled and burlaped tree was harvesting the root ball along with the native soil, they were mining the topsoil and subsoil at a non-sustainable rate, and permanetly destroying our best farmland soils. Methods that use a created mixture of compost/recycled soil (that doesn't use mined peat either) can be grown in a pot or other container and grown in conservation friendly manor. Too many misinformed people are passing along "balled and burlaped live trees are the greenest choice", when it may be the worst. Also buying local, and choosing native species (or at least well adapted so they don't require a lot of water and chemicals is important too. When in doubt ask for more info from the supplier.

Integrated Pest Management is usually abbreviated IPM.
Posted by Amy on December 23,2008 | 01:35 PM
It seems to make far more ecological sense to purchase a living christmas tree than an artificial one. Sure, the plastic trees are cheaper, and they last more than one year, but at what cost?..and if you can replant your tree it becomes reusable in any case.
Posted by ChrisJ on March 14,2008 | 02:00 PM
Thank God someone has heard the calling and has decided NOT to cut off the root of Christmas Trees and is making them so that they can be replanted! This is intelligent human being. On the other hand, anyone who would abuse a living tree and cut off the root, should be fined or put in prison!

Digital, large format color technology prints up to 15 times faster than conventional aqueous inkjet
Océ, a Canon Group Company and an international leader in digital document management and delivery, announced that it will showcase the North American debut of its first fully integrated and automated large format printing system based on Memjet technology at the SGIA Expo 2012. Project Velocity is a product concept that combines Océ's leading expertise in productive printing and workflow for large format environments with Memjet's high-speed digital color printing technology. The SGIA Expo 2012 will convene in Las Vegas, NV, October 18-20.
Project Velocity is a revolutionary high speed production system for both color and monochrome applications including:
• Disposable Point of Sale Posters
• Event Graphics
• General Indoor Poster Applications
• CAD (Technical)
• GIS (Mapping)
The result of more than three years of joint engineering and product development between Océ and Memjet, Velocity offers game-changing digital technology that prints up to 15 times faster than conventional aqueous inkjet systems – speeds never believed possible for large format applications.
Professional print providers can use this technology to enter new markets, expand their services and help generate new revenues by producing high volumes of posters, maps and architectural plans with unmatched productivity compared to conventional inkjet solutions. To keep up with the demand for fresh, last-minute information, retail posters can now be printed with variable content much faster and more productively than with inkjet systems.
Breakthrough Productivity for Large Format, Digital Color Printing
Velocity combines Océ's expertise in productive printing and workflow for large format environments with Memjet's high-speed, digital color printing technology. Key features of Velocity include:
• Print up to 500 3'x4' prints per hour stacked and cut to size;
• Six integrated media rolls up to 42" wide – 13,650 square feet of online capacity;
• Dual tray integrated capacity stacker
Imagine printing 100 36"x48" (E-size) posters in just 12 minutes on Velocity – versus 3 hours on a traditional inkjet system. Or printing 250 E-size posters on Velocity in the 20-30 minutes it takes to set up an offset run, with the added benefit of variable content. Now, print providers have a powerful digital option for large format, high volume color printing that can help them enter new markets, expand their services and generate new revenues.
Océ's Award-Winning Productivity and Workflow Capabilities Combined with Memjet's High-Speed, Color Printing Technology
"Velocity is the result of our collaborative approach to innovation. The market has long waited for a productive color solution for the high volume segment," said Erik van Eldik, Vice President Wide Format Printing Systems at Océ-Technologies B.V. "We selected Memjet as a technology partner because of the value that their impressive technology adds to the highly regarded productivity and reliability of our wide format systems. We focused on complementing our innovation assets and know-how with Memjet technology to create a product that the market was demanding as quickly as possible."

"Lovely sea view but a bit far from town."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 26, 2012
On the whole, it was very enjoyable. Though it was out on the peninsula and away from Kas center, there was a dolmus (minibus) that ran frequently. The sea patio and pool areas are lovely. The main drawback was the spotty Internet service. When it was working, we could receive e-mail but not send it!
"Easy ocean excess"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 1, 2012
A nice getaway........... It was a nice hotel with an outstanding excess to the ocean by platforms. But watch out what you have to pay on extras at your check out. No orders had to be sighned so don´t be surprised if you have to pay more for extras (drinks, meals, etc) than you think. Other than that, it was a nice stay and we would come back for sure..........

According to Orem police, the incident happened at 1040 North State Street at the Village Park Apartments.
Two men wearing black ski masks walked into an unlocked apartment. They were armed with a handgun and a knife.
Michael Mendenhall was inside the apartment with his roommate. They were woken up by the robbers who demanded money.
"They threw me on the ground and I woke up with a gun next to my head," Mendenhall said.
The 18-year-old said one of the robbers pistol whipped him on the back of the head.
"Then he cocked the gun next to my head and had the bullet fly out to show me it was real," he said.
Orem police said the 19-year-old roommate got into a fight with the suspect armed with a knife. The teen was cut on his hand, face and back and treated at a local hospital.
Police said they are investigating the possibility the suspects and victims may know each other.
"I'm shaken up," Mendenhall said. "I don't want to live here anymore."
The two suspects are described as a young men; one with a thin build, the other a medium build. Anyone who may have saw the masked men leave the Village Park Apartments should call Orem police.

Rollins Tops Preseason Women's Basketball Poll
Photo by Jim Hogue |
Coming off the first NCAA Division II semifinal appearance by a Sunshine State Conference women's basketball team, Rollins has been selected as the preseason favorite to win the league title in 2012-13.
The Tars picked up a total of 188 points and 13 first-place votes in a preseason poll conducted among conference coaches and sports information directors. Rollins was the SSC regular-season co-champion and tournament champion in 2011-12.
Nova Southeastern was tabbed second in the preseason poll and collected the remaining five first-place votes. Tampa took the third spot with 131 points. Florida Tech occupied the fourth slot with 117 points.
The next four positions in the poll were separated by just 14 points. Florida Southern appeared at No. 5 with 88 points. Eckerd was projected to finish sixth with 83 points. Lynn was slated seventh with 78, followed closely by Barry in the eighth slot with 74. Saint Leo rounded out the poll.
Rollins returns three starters from the squad that posted a 28-6 overall record and a 12-4 SSC mark. Among the returnees is last season's SSC Newcomer of the Year, Ashley Jones. A junior, Jones led the Tars with 11.9 points per game in her first season as a transfer. She also contributed 3.9 rebounds per game. Also returning from last season's starting rotation is senior guard Tera McDaniel. She averaged 7.0 points and a team-high 3.2 assists.
Another key veteran for Rollins will be junior Sarah Blackburn, who came off the bench to average 7.9 points and a team-best 4.5 rebounds.
Nova Southeastern also returns three starters from its squad that finished the 2011-12 campaign with a 17-11 overall record and an 8-8 SSC slate. Leading the way will be All-SSC first-team selection Meixandra Porter, who led the Sharks with 14.8 points per game. A senior, Porter also chipped in 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest. Reigning SSC Freshman of the Year Danielle Robinson tallied 13.2 points and 3.8 boards per game. Junior Jasmine Wilkins registered 9.5 points and a team-best 7.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per outing.

One of the most intense and entertaining athletic competitions of the year in Cumberland County is the annual Boneyard Bash high school wrestling tournament at Jack Britt High School.
Last weekend, 25 high school teams featuring over 300 athletes came to Jack Britt to compete over a two-day schedule of matches. In addition to the outstanding athletic competition, the event produced a substantial economic impact for Hope Mills and South Cumberland businesses as approximately 1,000 athletes, coaches, parents, grandparents and friends spent two days in the Hope Mills-South Cumberland Area. The Hope Mills Chamber of Commerce should give Jack Britt High School a plaque!
To make the event even more special, the host Buccaneers won the team championship and six of the 14 individual weight class championships. Jack Britt finished with 254 team points for a substantial victory over second-place Cary High School with 208 points. A strong South View squad finished fourth in the 25-team competition.
The individual weight class championships from the South Cumberland schools were as follows: Richard Wanovich of Jack Britt at 106 pounds, Richard Tolston of Jack Britt at 113 pounds, Garrett Hinton of Jack Britt at 120 pounds, Aaron Dickson of Jack Britt at 152 pounds, South View High's Malik McDonald at 182 pounds, Jack Britt's Saetyre McDowell at 195 pounds and Jacob Roberson of Jack Britt at 220 pounds.
Congratulations to Jack Britt Coach John DeWeese for developing his outstanding squad and for sponsoring this big event. Also congratulations to South View Coach Cam Spence for his squad's impressive performance.
Upcoming events for local wrestling teams are Friday at Morehead High School in Eden in which both Jack Britt and South View will compete. On Jan. 23, Jack Britt will take on Cape Fear, and South View will visit E.E. Smith. On Jan. 26 the Gray's Creek Bears will host the Bears' Den Brawl.
My readers should go attend a wrestling match or tournament. You'll become a fan immediately. It's exciting.
See you at the games.

10 Best Rap Videos of 2013
These 10 clips broke the mold for hip-hop visuals this year.
The Grammy nominations were unveiled last week and as always, there seems to be a few snubs and surprises within the nods. R&B songbirds K. Michelle and India Arie weren't nominated for any awards despite releasing impressive albums in 2013.
This week brings us another Chief Keef-related beef. While tension still remains between he and Soulja Boy, Chief Keef has now become involved in a feud with Atlanta group Migos. The beef has traveled from social media to song, as Migos releases a diss track called 'Jealousy.'
As world leaders and media outlets descend on South Africa for the funeral of Nelson Mandela, Kanye West went on Twitter Monday (Dec. 9) to remember the late international hero.
Cake. Cake. Cake. Nicki Minaj ups the ante for sexy birthday cakes. The rapper celebrated her 31st birthday with an eye-popping cake shaped as a woman's cleavage.
Justin Bieber's '#MusicMondays' series wrapped up with 'Confidence' featuring Chance the Rapper, but there's still more Bieber to come before the year is over. The singer will be releasing 'Journals,' a collection of his 10 '#MusicMondays' songs followed with some worthwhile extras.

Vintage 'base ball' team goes back to game's roots
LEMONT – The Lemont Quarrymen took on the Rockford Forrest Cities in a game of vintage "base ball" on the afternoon of July 20 in Covington Park, 127th Street and Covington Drive, Lemont.
Club sponsor the Lemont Historical Society coached the spectators, called "cranks" or "bugs," in appropriate cheers for an 1850s-era base ball game.
Old-time base ball isn't complete without player nicknames, such as "Butter Biscuits," "Sir Loiner" and "Gigs Boone."

Paradox CEO: GAME troubles are "karma" for "bullying people around"
Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrick Wester has said the ongoing troubles of UK retailer GAME is "karma" for "bullying" its customers around.
Sat, Jan 28, 2012 | 20:28 GMT
Quick Quotes: Paradox changing its Q&A process over Sword of the Stars 2′s "big failure"
"Sometimes you're stuck in a situation where you can only choose between two really bad outcomes. Looking back I'm not sure what I could have done. We're changing our QA processes based on this game, and we're changing the whole model of how we make games with third-parties. We've added amendments to existing contracts to prepare, to try and stop it from happening again. But it was bad, and I'm the first to admit it was my fault and we're doing our best to fix it." – Paradox CEO Fredrick Wester on Sword of the Stars 2′s release which was buggy, and had missing features.

Frette's Spring/Summer 2010 Collections Inspired By Artists
Filed under: Decor
Artists were the inspiration behind Frette's Spring/Summer 2010 Collections. The beautiful collections are an homage to both artists and the places that inspired them. The Venice is influenced by American Impressionist, John Singer Sargent. In his watercolor sketches, Sargent managed to capture the grace and mystery of Venice and the shimmering colors of the water and skies surrounding the city influenced the color palette used by Frette's designers ranging from Verbena to Myrrh. Luxury bedcovers in rich metallic silks in lavender, silver and copper complete the sumptuous collection. The sensual works of symbolist Gustav Klimt served as the inspiration to the Vienna. Vienna features floral shapes of cascading wisteria as well as geometric renditions of rosette blooms. The resulting patterns reflect early 20th century art and architecture's transition to Art Nouveau from a more classicist past. The Aix collection evokes Henri Matisse. The colors reflect the richly hued landscape of the Provencal region.All are available in Frette stores and online. Prices start at $1,695 for a total set.

So what if Newark Mayor Cory Booker went off message? On "Meet the Press" Sunday, Booker, a supporter of President Obama's reelection bid, took issue with a recent Obama ad criticizing Mitt Romney's record at the private-equity firm Bain Capital. In truth, open debate on the issue shouldn't make Booker "uncomfortable," and Booker is entitled to a view that differs from that of the Obama campaign.

text: Dear Reader, I know I've been remiss this week in not posting more. Blame it on the fact that on Monday, on my way to Rogers TV in Richmond Hill, laden with goodies that I'll be showing at the Fall Home Show, I went head over heels down my front steps. Miraculously, none of my stuff for the home show was broken, but my ankle is swollen to the size of a grapefruit and my legs look like ground beef. Plus my ribs hurt. Not pretty. So I've been nursing my wounds quietly (well, not that quietly, says my family) so I'll be ready for my home show appearances, starting tomorrow. Come down and see me - and don't forget that Friday is Toronto Star Day. You can see Colin & Justin, Mark Cullen, Ellen Moorhouse and moi at the casalife StyleLab. See you there - I'll be the one NOT wearing high heels!

To that last sentence posted here for the article, Gensert should have added: "and more producer money transferred to the parasites".
My favorite FTA: "And wouldn´t it be nice to hand Barack a defeat that he himself designed?"We´ve got to stop playing defense.
It is just not fair that the President of the United States has collected over $16 million in payments for the books he has written. What about me? I don´t have the connections that will insure that any book I choose to write will make me a multi-millionaire. Mr. Obama needs to redistribute all of the money he has collected. Now that would be fair. Economic justice.
Barack would much rather sit in that empty room and play with himself

Story that Jay-Z didn't allow caucasians into VIP area of his party is not white at all
Truth rating: 2
February 18th, 2010
"Jay-Z Bash Reportedly Refuses White Folk Admittance!!" is the title of another story that Perez Hilton was too busy to fact-check.
"Uh-oh!! This is NOT cool," writes Perez before claiming Jay-Z "BANNED white people from going in the VIP area" of a party he hosted.
Actually, what's NOT cool is repeating allegations without looking into them. Gossip Cop has the real story.
