Byron and Callum are dragon riders and lovers. A war between Eastania and neighboring Wardona keep their nights busy, but their love makes their lives complete…until now. When dragon riders reach a specific age, their dragon's fire is impossible to control and they are in danger of combustion. There is only one cure: sex with a human drains the deadly fire. Byron is almost out of control when he admits he needs to find a human to share their lives. With Callum's help, Byron finds the perfect human, a female both men find irresistible. Convincing her that they want her to become their mate is harder than either of them expected. Why is she reluctant to mate with the dragon riders when it is obvious that she is attracted to them?
Mira is an independent woman and proud of it. Her mother fell in love with a dragon rider and it ruined her life when he rejected her. When Mira saw how badly the dragon rider used her mother, Mira swore never to allow herself to fall for a dragon rider. When Byron and Callum approach Mira, her first reaction is to refuse them, but something about them calls to her. Mira, afraid that she will be hurt like her mother, refuses to bond with them to help Byron control his fire. Can Byron and Callum convince her that they offer her love and are not like the dragon rider who abused her mother?
In the first book of the Fire Riders series, Mechele Armstrong introduces the reader to a group of warriors who become dragons at night. Rival dragons from Wardona attack Eastania and war is declared. If a warrior cannot control his fire, he is a danger to the other dragon riders and Eastania. Byron knows he needs Mira and will do everything in his power to convince her that she belongs with him and Callum. Ms. Armstrong takes the reader along on an emotional rollercoaster ride as Mira comes to terms with her inner demons and allows herself to fall in love with the very beings responsible for her mother's downfall. Can Mira tame Byron's fire while she finds love with two dragons?

this is a random town I am working on using pyrandon's Medieval Town Map tutorial (found here = http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=1150). So far I have reached post IV and just finished the river part of that post and it has taken about 3 hours to reach this stage. If this is slow or fast I have no clue as I am a relative noob with the prog. mapping, but I think it is faster than if I started from scratch. I am using Gimp for this so we will see how it turns out in the end .
As always, c & c more than welcome. I have given much advice of late, so turn-about is fair play
I will rate the tut after I am done, but I like it so far
:edit: After posting I realized that the res is real low (72) I really have to stop doing that. Any way in Gimp to set a higher res as default? I NEVER check that setting until after I have invested some time.......

Our holiday plans have changed due to the recent storm, and I have to take my kids (1 and 4) to New York City. Can anyone recommend activities that might be fun for kids these ages?
I don't think touristy things like see the tree in Rockefeller Plaza, or seeing a show will be much fun for them. I'm looking for something kind of hands on, and active.
Also, what do people do for transportation? I'll walk or subway as much as possible, but if it's necessary to take a cab, do you drag two car seats around the city (ugh), or just go with out (terrifying and potentially illegal)?
I'm trying to be very merry about this, I know that thousands of kids live happily and well in NYC, but I'm getting stressed out just thinking about it.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Of all the holidays, this one is our most fave! We know everyone has their own way of celebrating this wondrous, worldwide occasion, but might we make some suggestions?

Molecular Mixology: Playing Mad Scientist in Your Mouth
Combining chemistry and cocktails may sound dangerous. However, mixologists are using scientific principles to manipulate the flavor and texture of their creations. Known as molecular mixology, this new style of cocktail-making includes things like powdered rum and coke, martini popsicles, alcoholic cotton candy and whiskey hamburgers.
Simpler concoctions include upscale Jell-O shots and spherical "ice cubes" that are actually frozen cocktails. Inspired by the culinary discipline of molecular gastronomy, cocktail chemists have applied many tricks … Read more
Mixology Monday – Pisco Punch
The theme for Mixology Monday this month is 19th-century cocktails. Living in San Francisco, naturally I was drawn to Pisco Punch. This famous cocktail came to be due to the large amount of Pisco available after the Gold Rush.

Remy V.S.O.P Bottle by David LaChapelle Review
Remy Martin recently partnered with artist David LaChapelle to create

HUNTERSVILLE – The Carolina Renaissance Festival approaches its 20th year of bringing medieval cheer to the Charlotte region.
Nearly 190,000 attendees are expected to time travel to the fictional village of Fairhaven to experience the festival, held Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 5-Nov. 24.
The festival's artisan marketplace mimics 16th century architecture and features more than 100 merchants, crafters and artists that create, demonstrate and sell handmade wares.
Eleven outdoor stages and performance settings will feature non-stop theater, comedy, music, dance, magic, circus entertainments and falconry demonstrations.
Hundreds of costumed villagers walk the festival providing additional entertainment.
The festival's signature attraction features medieval knights on horseback jousting three times daily in the Queen's tournament arena. Patrons can also enjoy fair games, rides and feasting fit for royalty.
Twentieth anniversary celebrations include guest performances by variety acts visiting from around the globe and performing on stage for a limited time:
• The Duke of Danger – Performing acrobatic stunts combined with humor and physical comedy.
• MooNiE the Magnificent – A clown that surprises adults and children with juggling and sophomoric comedy without speaking a word.
• The Checkerboard Guy – A comedy and prop-centric variety show.
• Broon – A lovable "bad boy" that combines sly wit and conversational comedy with a variety of tricks and stunts.
Organizers have also added another vehicle access point on N.C. 73 to improve entering and exiting the festival.
"We are always looking for ways to improve the Festival experience for our patrons and for the community that has grown around us over the past two decades." festival producer Jeff Siegel said.
The 20th annual Carolina Renaissance Festival takes place 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 5-Nov. 24, off Exit 25 in Huntersville.
Advance tickets cost $21 for adults and $11 for ages 5-12 at Harris Teeter stores. Add $1 if bought at the gate. Seniors and members of the military get discounts at the gate. Children younger than 5 get in free.

Carbon brake got nothing to do with the arm pump. Increases bike weight does.
Riders get the arm pump when they had to counter G-forces that increased at corners. They used to flick the bike from side to side faster before with less traveling mass.
Now, they had to use every ounces of their body weight to lean the bike against the greater G-force. The TC doesn't help much when the rivals keep riding faster beyond the limits.

Tips on Getting Evidence for Court
There are a large number of laws which set standards for what evidence can be used in a court. Together, these laws are called the California Code of Evidence. Everyone, even a person who represents him- or herself, has to follow these laws when he or she is getting and presenting evidence for court. Neither the judge nor the court staff can assist you in preparing or presenting your case.
These tips will help you to start thinking about how to present evidence at a hearing or trial.
What Does the Court Consider Evidence?
Evidence is information you may present in court to prove your case. It can be in two main forms:
2. Things: exhibits
|Some documents have confidential information,
such as bank account and social security numbers.
You may ask the court to black out this information
and to keep sensitive documents confidential
2. How do I introduce an exhibit in court?
To show the court one of your exhibits:
- First, show the exhibit to the other party (or the other party's attorney),
- Next, either you or your witness must testify about the exhibit to show that the evidence is relevant to your case and is authentic (not made up).This is called "laying the foundation."
- Ask the court to admit the exhibit into evidence.
The other party or attorney may object to the exhibit for some reason. Try to answer these objections as best you can. Finally, the judge will decide whether to allow the exhibit or not.
How to Get Your Evidence
You may collect evidence by "discovery" or by "subpoena."
1. Discovery
Discovery is pre-trial investigation. It allows you to get either evidence itself, or information that will lead to getting the evidence you need. There are rules for how much time you have to do things, and how many questions you can ask in a certain way.
Some common Discovery methods are:
A deposition is written or oral testimony given under oath in front of a court reporter. These take place outside of court and allow the parties to get a record of a person's testimony, or to get testimony from a witness who lives far away. The person who sets up the deposition pays the court reporter's fees.
Interrogatories are written questions sent by one side in a lawsuit to an opposing side. The side that receives the interrogatories must answer them in writing under oath, or give a legal basis for not answering them.
Request for Admission:
In a request for admission, one party formally and in writing asks the opposing party to admit the truth of certain facts relevant to a case.
Request for Production of Things:
One party may ask the other party for specific documents or things. The asking party may object to, copy or inspect these.
Subpoena Duces Tecum:
A subpoena duces tecum is an official court order to bring documents to a specific place at a specific time.
2. Subpoena
A subpoena is a court order telling a person to go to court at a specific time. They are commonly used to tell witnesses to come to court to testify in a trial. The court has forms you can use to ask for these.

Amanda Bynes Accused Of 3rd Car Accident In Past 2 Months
By Mack Rawden 4 years ago
I dont know if Amanda Bynes needs glasses, has depth perception problems or the entire world is conspiring against her, but the actress recent driving record reads like a how-to for getting a license revoked. At the beginning of April, the All That star allegedly ran into a police car and was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. A few weeks later, she reportedly brushed against another car and just kept on driving. A 911 call led to a police helicopter chase, and when Bynes was finally pulled over, she supposedly claimed she didnt realize shed struck another vehicle. Because the damage was minor, her argument is entirely believable, but it turns out these separate incidents may not have been the only driving blemishes over the past few months.
According to TMZ, the celebrity may have been involved in a completely separate hit-and-run incident at the beginning of April. An unidentified driver was reportedly struck on the 101 on April 10th. The victim allegedly gave chase in order to ascertain the drivers identity and was able to write down the license plate. The police tracked it to Enterprise Rental Car, who then tracked it back to Bynes. The woman reportedly picked the Hairspray star out of a photo line-up shortly thereafter, but nothing further ever came of the matter because no independent witnesses could verify the story.
One of these incidents could be chalked up to a regrettable mistake. I suppose two could even be stomached, but if all three of these traffic violations actually happened, Bynes either needs to stop driving or be sent back to Drivers Education Billy Madison style.

MORTON struggled against a Raith Rovers side which made far more chances than them on Saturday but Allan Moore's men showed a determined streak to grab a 1-0 win and stay five points ahead of Partick Thistle.
Michael Tidser's well-struck shot eight minutes after half-time left manager Moore breathing a sigh of relief as he explained: "Raith Rovers will be disappointed and I told their manager Grant Murray that they were the better team. We defended resolutely as our goalkeeper made a great save and Kevin Rutkiewicz injured himself clearing one off the line.
"We stole it, but sometimes it is about grinding out results."
Morton were fortunate not to be behind at half-time with Pat Clarke firing wide and Brian Graham wasting a clear opportunity just before the break after Rutkiewicz was short with a passback. Tidser hit the winner after Martin Hardie headed the ball down at the edge of the box, then Clarke sent another opportunity flashing wide before seeing a header well saved and, when he finally shot past Derek Gaston, Rutkiewicz popped up to clear.
Raith manager Murray said: "We limited Morton to very little but left with nothing as we did not take our chances. There were a lot of good performances and we need to maintain that."
January's Manager of the Month will surely be Dumbarton's rookie boss Ian Murray, who has guided his men off bottom spot and up into eighth by defeating Hamilton Accies 3-1, to pick up a fourth win in five games.
The Sons took the lead on 34 minutes when Chris Turner headed in and they doubled their advantage 11 minutes after the resumption when Mark Gilhaney fired home from the edge of the box.
Gilhaney's goal brought Accies alive and Stevie May netted from long distance before the chance of an equaliser from the penalty spot was taken away by referee Alan Muir. The whistler gave a free kick for a challenge on substitute Andy Ryan just outside of the box, with many believing it had happened on the other side of the white line.
Gilhaney got to the byline and Jonathan Page turned his cross into his own net to secure Dumbarton's win.
Partick Thistle came from behind to defeat Cowdenbeath 2-1 and make it win number ten at Firhill. Kane Hemmings slipped the Blue Brazil in front after nine minutes but Steven Craig levelled on 25 minutes when he converted at the second attempt.
Defender Conrad Balatoni was the match-winner when he volleyed home a Ross Forbes corner just before the break.
Livingston won 1-0 at Dunfermline Athletic where Anthony Andreu's first-half winner was decisive. The Frenchman shot home an Iain Russell cutback after a mistake by Josh Falkingham with the Pars denied a leveller when Ryan Thomson's effort was ruled out for offside.
Airdrie United dropped to bottom spot after losing 4-3 to Falkirk, who were three up ten minutes into the second half thanks to Lyle Taylor's double and a Stewart Murdoch effort from 25 yards. Paul Di Giacomo's penalty gave the Diamonds some hope only for Darren Dods' header to make it 4-1. Falkirk survived a late rally in which Willie McLaren and John Boyle both netted for Airdrie.

Elmont man arrested in fatal shooting
An Elmont man was arrested and accused of fatally shooting a 50-year-old man on Sept. 28. According to the Nassau County Police Department, the accused, Rodmon Green, 40, had an ongoing dispute with the victim, Jerome Steward, also of Elmont.
Green shot and killed Steward, police said, when an argument between the two men early last Friday morning escalated, and guns were fired at 3:35 a.m. Steward was hit and taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
NCPD detectives apprehended Green after he fled the scene on foot. He was charged with second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and menacing.

Someone noticed
I've made the New York Times They are carrying a link to my post on Julia Gillard's irresponsible dealings with the National Security Committee where she sends a junior staffer to attend in her place.
Now if I can just get Australians to recognize how bad she is then all will be well in the world.
Still, as I mentioned in the original post, the people voting for her wouldn't know what National Security was anyway.
2 Responses to Someone noticed
Well done with the link Kev!
Come election day, all that the clowns will be thinking about is how grouse she looked in woman's day, bugger that "national thingy-ma-bob", let's vote for her anyway huh?
I can hear them all now.
Well done Kev.
A fellow ex RAAF wing commander commented to me recently that although both of us were cleared to Secret, that would not have been good enough to get us into some meetings of the NSC.
Which raises the obvious questions – what security clearance did the staffer have, and if it was not high enough, did the PM insist he attend anyway? And, in sending the staffer, was regard paid to the principle of need to know ?
Bearing in mind her background, I do not wonder at her attitude towards national security. It bothers me also that her background would probably have disqualified her from membership of the ADF or, from gaining access to sensitive matters if she had been allowed to join.
I would feel better if the media tried to shine more light on this business.

In probably the last pre-poll bonanza, the government may cut diesel price by Rs 2 a litre in a "day-or-two" but there would be no reduction in petrol prices.
Government wants to announce the price reduction, on top of the Rs 4 a litre cut in two installments since December, before General Elections are announced, an official said.
"The Cabinet may meet in a day-or-two to decide on the reduction," he said. "Most likely, the Cabinet may meet tomorrow."
A reduction in diesel price would pull down inflation and make goods transportation, especially fruits and vegetables, cheaper.
However, there would no reduction in petrol rates, which in two installments had already been slashed by Rs 10 a litre.
State-owned fuel retailers Indian Oil Corp, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum are selling petrol at almost break-even point while they make Rs 3.26 a litre profit on diesel sales.
"There is a scope for reduction in diesel rates only," the official said. On petrol, the margins are just Rs 0.08 per litre.
The three firms are currently making Rs 36 crore per day profit on diesel sales, enough to negate the Rs 24 crore per day loss on kerosene and Rs 9 crore on domestic LPG.
Kerosene is being sold at a loss of Rs 11.70 per litre and LPG at Rs 77.51 per 14.2-kg cylinder.

'Scrubs' star splitMandy Moore and Zach Braff have reportedly split up.
Sources claim the Hollywood couple have gone their separate ways after Zach was seen partying in New York with various other women last weekend.
The 'Scrubs' star arrived at top nightspot Level V with "a harem of young women" and tried to set one of them up with his friend Gavin DeGraw.
However, onlookers claim Zach appeared more interested in the women himself.
One revealed to America's New York Post newspaper: "It seemed that he was the one trying to personally 'match' himself to any woman who looked his way."
Other witnesses spotted Zach flirting with girls at trendy nightclubs Marquee and Cain.
Newly single Mandy has previously dated tennis hunk Andy Roddick and 'That '70s Show' star Wilmer Valderrama.

Oklahoma football: Dominique Alexander has prepared a long time for a moment like this
The driveway at the light brick house on East Latimer Place in Tulsa is fairly standard.
Concrete. Flat. About 15 yards long.
But it became a training ground for the Alexander brothers.
Under their dad's supervision, they ran suicides, using breaks in the concrete as their turning points. They jumped rope, a hundred jumps at a time. They hopped back and forth over a flower pot, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.
They were in elementary school, but Derrick Alexander Sr. put his sons through the workout a couple times a week.
"So we picked up on working hard," big brother, Derrick Jr., said.
During a week that little brother, Dominique, will make his first college start at linebacker for Oklahoma — it will come in the Cotton Bowl against Texas — the Sooner Nation wants to know how he will fare. Will the true freshman be able to handle the pressure? Will he be able to replace the injured Corey Nelson?
Is Alexander ready?
He's been working toward this moment all his life.
Dominique Alexander started as a basketball player.
That's the way his dad wanted it. Even though Derrick Sr. played football at Oklahoma State — he was the Tulsa World's metro Defensive Player of the Year in 1985 as a senior at Tulsa Washington High — he didn't want his boys playing tackle football until at least sixth grade. So, he encouraged them to play basketball, even coached their teams.
Dominique got so good that he thought his sports future was basketball. But the interest from college recruiters told a different story.
Big-time football programs were way more interested than big-time basketball programs.
His sophomore year at Booker T, Dominique decided to get serious about football. He knew what he needed to do.
Work. Work. Work.
Then work some more.
He would practice, condition and lift with the team, then he would go with his dad, a 20-year veteran of the Tulsa Police Department, and lift some more.
Dominique had great examples all around him. He came through Booker T on the heels of several Division-I football players, including Calvin Barnett (OSU), Tyler Lockett (Kansas State) and his brother. Derrick Jr. was the Tulsa World All-State Player of the Year in 2010 and signed with Tulsa.
"Through him," Dominique said, "I was able to see where hard work can get you."
He remembers watching his brother doing pushups every night before he went to bed.
Now a redshirt sophomore, Derrick Jr. is a starting defensive end for the Golden Hurricane.
"My dad's a hard worker in everything he does. My brother's a hard worker in everything he does," Dominique said. "That was able to make them successful.
"It's put me in the position I'm in right now."
Dominique Alexander knows he will be stepping into a tough situation Saturday.
Does he feel like he's in the crosshairs?
"Not really under the gun," he said, "but like, 'I can't mess up. I have to be on my stuff. I have to really know my stuff.'"
That's why he didn't balk when Corey Nelson told him to meet in the film room for extra study every morning this week at 7 a.m.
Early mornings. Long hours. Extra work. None of that is new to Dominique Alexander.
"I think he can handle it," his dad said of his son getting his first start in the Red River Rivalry. "That's something we've always instilled in both of (my sons) — When your time is called, you have to be ready — so we feel that he is ready."
Mike Stoops said: "He's very well prepared for this. He's going to be an unbelievable player. Hopefully, it's Saturday."
The Sooner defensive coordinator raised an eyebrow that seemed to say that you doubt this kid at your own peril.
"He'll be well prepared, and he'll hold his own, I can guarantee you that."

PLAY > SKIP: New Music for January 11
Winter break is officially over, and it's back-to-school week for new music. Edie Brickell and Wire are the seniors looking to get to the front of the class. Cake, Cage the Elephant, and Steel Magnolia are the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen who all want to be the teacher's pet. As the first entrants of the new year, they offer some signs that the Class of 2011 might be one to remember.
PLAY: Edie Brickell, Edie Brickell
More than 20 years after her New Bohemian days, Edie Brickell has cranked out a small but eclectic catalog of solo and side projects. Her most recent collaboration was the seriously sexy and under-the-radar Heavy Circles album recorded with Brickell's stepson, Harper Simon (Brickell and Paul Simon have been married since 1992). Her new self-titled album -- followed in two weeks by another band project, the Gaddabouts -- is full of the sly observations, coffee-house cool vocals, and idiosyncratic melodies that make me wish I was Edie Brickell's stepson. Or husband.
VISIT EdieBrickell.com to listen to her single "Pill."
SKIP Steel Magnolia, Steel Magnolia
Out of the train wreckage that was the mercifully short-lived competition series "Can You Duet" comes Season Two winner Steel Magnolia with all of the fake plastic country charm of a self-conscious Las Vegas line dance. The album is "Twilight" with twang, replete with faux tortured passion, preciousness, and pain drawn from a high school journal that should have been burned with the Aqua Net and Seventeen mags. Look for the Burger King tie-in, the Wal-Mart clothing line, and the Steel Magnolia-themed diner coming your way. Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit. Either way, it's Nashville commercialism at its best. Worst. Whatever.
PLAY Cake, Showroom of Compassion
It's hard to believe that 15 years have passed since Cake's "Fashion Nugget" brought them face-to-face with mainstream success. Now with "Showroom of Compassion" Cake sounds like a band looking for alternative respect. Leader John McCrea is one of music's best satirists and king of the droll. He deserves to be naked on the cover of Rolling Stone. Until then, we'll have to cross our fingers that the hit parade has some compassion . . . and some taste.
PLAY Wire, Red Barked Tree
Since their 1977 sonic-boom debut, "Pink Flag," British post-punk minimalists Wire have subverted the genre and propelled it forward more than any other art band of the period. They've also furiously maintained their commitment to sonic exploration. "Red Barked Tree" is an avant-garde rock lover's esoteric wet dream: full of screaming tempos, discord, and sonic curve balls. Play it to bend your mind, not for background music.
PLAY Cage the Elephant, Thank You Happy Birthday
The American South produces fraternal rock bands like Jack Daniel's produces morning-after regret. Brothers Matthew and Brad Schultz stand in the center of Cage the Elephant and their reckless Southern rock. This follow-up to their 2008 self-titled debut is equally unruly and ragged as only a bunch of Southern boys transplanted to the UK could produce (Cage did a London residency after getting signed by UK label Relentless). Cage the Elephant's raw rock devotion almost makes those Kings of Leon siblings sound like Coldplay.

Read this on motomatters....it was till 2.30 though
"Rossi does look supremely comfortable aboard the Yamaha M1, however. During one wet stint he was out posting consistent 1'47 laps, and looking very comfortable. Andrea Dovizioso, out for the first time on the Ducati, was nowhere near as fast, running in the 1'50s at the same time Rossi was lapping several seconds faster."

Pontiac Bonneville Reviews
Pontiac Bonneville Reviews and Owner Comments
I had this car for 10 years. It gets me back and forth where I need to go. Bonneville is a solid vehicle purrs at 30 mph and a comfortable car. Living in Wisconsin hasn't rust or corroded so happy with that. At 115,778 miles use Lightweight oil 1000miles change spark plugs between (60,000-75,000miles) very classy car running cond. Believe it or not its a '90 model but looks like a 2015 model year car all original only things got done would be regulator for side window, tires, oil pump/radiator, water pump, struts and shocks etc. Drove to Florida still gets 25 mpg for this midsize car. Color is Lt. blue with navy interior all of my power equipment still works well even cruise control and air conditioner blows ice cold ac as heater toast me up doing the coldest winters ever. I would drive my Bonneville as long has lots of life left in it, changing oil and routine services car flawless these vehicles like this one are very rare finding in pristine condition.
Purchased 95 Bonne in 2006 w/106m miles, supercharged SE w/ auto climate controls, leather w/black exterior and love this car. Replaced the supercharger and manifold gaskets and have not had any issues since. Now have 164m as I avoid driving this car on bad weather days, trying to keep it from rusting prematurely in this MN salt environment. I have had several early to mid 90's Bonnes and several 2000+ Bonnes and have found the older Bonnes to be much more reliable than the 2000's.
Bought this car brand new, and just sold it at 200,000 miles - my auto tech said it would easily last another 100,000 miles. Great car with lots of features that are not on my 2004 bonneville. Some rust along the bottom of the doors - very minor. Otherwise, was in great condition.
Owned my Bonneville from 2005 to 2011. My favorite car ever. No major issues with it in all the time I owned it. Got it serviced regularly, replaced brakes, tires, serpentine belt, and had tune up at 100,000 miles. Replaced battery (after I found it - under back seat - my least favorite thing about the car). I put over 70,000 miles on it while I owned it and it has over 135,000 on it total and still running fine. For me, it was an excellent car.
I bought this car last october with 170 on it havent had but minor issues mainly with wheel hub and bearings. Brakes are a bit weird. But in all its a beautiful car. Reliable and roomy. I believe that it was maintained well by previouse owner. no real signs of excissive wear on interior or exterior. No one believes its a 93. Alot of the issues I am facing come with high milage. Some say I shouldnt have bought and others say for the 1500 I paid they dont see where I have room to complain. with the price comes issues any how right. By the way I am an olds person my self but The bonnie would have been my 2nd. Olds are the best hands down. to bad they arent making them anymore.
got 1 for sale for $3500.00 obo 107k 540 419-3438
This is my second Bonneville, first in 1984. Nice sturdy vehicle.interior is adequate comfortable. Good solid brake system. Transmission went out at 90,000 miles. Ok except for the computer system which has problems. Smooth running. Replaced the serpentine belt at approx 90,000 miles. Replaced the catalytic converter & exhaust system at 140,000. Heating & A/C run great, no problems so far. Suspension is great, power steering rack went bad, have to add fluid periodically. Overall, a very reliable vehicle..
This is my 3rd bonneville. I started with the 94. All have been the ssei (super charger). The 94 definitly had the most power! I think they must have later, put a govener on them. On my 2000 and 2003 I have had repeated problems with the steering. It clunks and grinds. They have a defective part in them that you can replace, but it eventually does the same thing with the new part. They have a bad front end design. The seat heater went out in the 2000 and the 03. The car looks good, rides great, has good performance, but definitly has mechanical issues. Also had a leak in the intake manifold, ended up installing a new crank and bearing. Guess its a common problem with these.
This is a great car, 170,000 mile and still running strong. no problems at all, and it beats a mustang gt off the line with the right tuning haha
Dad drove 130k in 2.5 years w/ no problems. I have had it for 5 years and 50k miles and no problems other than normal maintence.
This is my second Bonni and I just love it. I have had only minor problems from it and with good maintenance, it runs great! Right now it has 160,000 miles and still running strong.
I bought this car at 1 1/2 yrs old. It was a lease car with 43,000. I now have 280,000 miles on this car and still love it. No major problems, I keep oil changes and maintenance done regularly.
I have a 2000 Bonneville, and it is my favorite car. but it as its problems as well. i have put a transmission in it, brakes(more than once), intake, it caught on fire!!!!. my control arm is bad, roters, axle,window motor. i've put alot of money into it, but im willing because its my dream car.
1995 Pontiac Bonneville - bought new - now has about 150,000 miles on it. I REALLY like this car. Mine is green with gray leather; spoiler on the back, and still in very good shape. Before I bought this car, I saw it parked next to what I think was a Lexus. It had much nicer lines and looked like somethng I just had to have. Even though there's been a few problems, I have no regrets. I now get about over 20 mpg city with a 200hp 6 cylinder engine. It rides nice, quiet, comfortable, and has great power even at 13 years old. I don't have the fancy HUD or steering controls but it's still a great car. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much of any resale value which is good if you want to buy one. There still a few out there will low mileage, fully loaded, but only around $2000. Many have had the usual car problems found with this model and have been fixed by the time you get it. I just got into a very minor 5 mph accident with a 2008 Nissan Maxima. My pasenger side front bumper met her driver side from bumper. Only damage to my car was the $40 marker light was broken. Damage to her car was a 2 foot round indent, bumper pulled from the body, and broken fog lights. My point, it's a very solid and safe car. So now for the bad news. The rear brakes are drum type and if the car sits in a humid area, they squeel bad for about 1 minute until the moisture gets out. The car might stall on you and then start up again after about 5 minutes. This is due to bad coils which is about $200 to replace. I've gone through 2 transmissions but that was mostly because I was manually shifting everytime I got on the freeway. The 1995 Bonneville is mostly a winter car and the sun can heat up the car a lot in the summer. You must have a working air conditioner. I really really like this car and almost bought another one even though it's an older model. I don't see the same style in newer vehicles. They all start to look the same after a while. I bet if you took 5 of the same type of car and put them next to each other without the names plates, you wouldn't know who was what. Not so with the Bonneville. With the 2008 economy the way it is, you might consider not purchasing a new or newer vehicle but go with one of these. Their resale value is not that good but once you feel the comfort and value of this car, I think you'll agree it's a great car.
This is my last Pontiac, I'm trading it in on a Camry. I bought Pontiac's top of the line, the Bonneville. I bought the SE version. The engine has a great sound, and the acceleration is excellent. I bought it with 22k miles on it, and in 7 years, I have it up to 58k miles on it. In that time, I've replaced 2 window motors, the intake manifold, the strut mounts, wheel bearings, and the secondary steering shaft twice, and the brakes more times than I should have had to given the age and miles. The steering shortly after I bought it got to be creaky. It pretty much has stayed that way. The buttons on the interior are cheap, and the paint has worn off the radio buttons. There are a couple of rattles on the interior. The car handles great, rides very well, and has plenty of power. I like the looks, it's just typical of GM, lots of promise with poor execution.
The Bonneville has held together quite well. The intake may leak causing the engine not to run but after that is taken care of the engine performs quite well. If you like the looks, this may be the car for you.

Die Hard Broncos Fan (Trapped in Ohio)
Hey BW, other than their tough schedule, what will be the biggest issue for the Broncos this season? I am liking what I am reading about the secondary!
Bill WIlliamson (2:02 PM)
The middle of the defense. It has to come through.
will jones (overland park, ks)
Would Cedric Benson be a good fit in Oakland? I've heard the Raiders could be interested.
Bill WIlliamson (2:03 PM)
They are interested. Yes, it's a great fit. I think the Raiders needs to make it happen. They need an experienced back behind McFadden. Benson would fill that role.
Jackson56 (Seattle )
Is there a solid answer for the QB position after Palmer is done?
Bill WIlliamson (2:05 PM)
Well, that's up to Terrelle Pryor. He has a chance to show the Oakland coaching staff he can be the guy after Palmer leaves. If he doens't develop this year, Oakland may look for a QB early in next year's draft.
Andrew (KC)
Not to be a cynic, but do you think the Chiefs and Chargers gave Brian Banks a tryout simply because it is good PR?
Bill WIlliamson (2:07 PM)
I think they wanted to give him ashot and they did. Nothing wrong with that. If they don't think he can play for them, they shouldn't sign him.I think it'd be a PR move if a team signed him even though it thought he had no chance of even making the practice squad.
Mark (Toronto)
Bill, what's the word on Joe Barksdale? If he can't beat out Barnes for RT should the Raiders be worried about his future?
Bill WIlliamson (2:09 PM)
Right now, Barnes has the inside track on the job. But Barskdale will be given a chance. If it doesn't happen this year, I wouldn't get too down on him quite yet.
Mark (Toronto)
Imagine you're Dennis Allen. What's your biggest worry come opening day?
Bill WIlliamson (2:09 PM)
Overall health. The Raiders are not deep. TNey have to stay healthy.
Lee (Phoenix, AZ)
Who starts at LDE, Wolfe or Ayers for the Broncos?
Bill WIlliamson (2:11 PM)
Probably Ayers with Wolfe playing both end and tackle.
Lee (Phoenix, AZ)
Should the Broncos have drafted a replacement for McGahee rather than drafting a complimentary back like Hillman? If they did go that route, which running back do you think they would have chosen?
Bill WIlliamson (2:12 PM)
Many peoiple think Denver did draft a starter in Hillman. I know a lot of scouts who think he is the goods.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
David Ausberry is a WR who grew into being a TE. Will he take the next step and become a huge threat/mismatch for Palmer to exploit down the middle of the field in 2012?
Bill WIlliamson (2:13 PM)
Certainly there is a chance, if he can prove he can play. He still has a long road.
Hootie (San Diego, Ca.)
Hi Bill,Has AJ Smith removed himself from the hot seat in your opinion?
Bill WIlliamson (2:14 PM)
I don't think that will happen until the Chargers are back in the playoffs. Same goes for Norv.
Mooch (Buffalo)
Hey Bill Bill, Any updates on when Poe will sign. With the 2 picks before his pick signed and multiple picks after him signed (including DT-Cox at #12) shouldnt there be a template to get a deal done. Do u think he will be signed before camp?
Bill WIlliamson (2:15 PM)
I have no doubt he will be signed by the start of camp.
Trevor (Toronto)
any word on the bowe situation?
Bill WIlliamson (2:16 PM)
Status quo. Again, not a biggie. He'll report.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Do you think Denarius Moore will develop into the Raiders #1 WR if he stays healthy?
Bill WIlliamson (2:17 PM)
He certainly has the ability to do so. It will either be him or DHB this year.
Taylor (Texas)
Which AFC West team is most likely to have a championship caliber defense this season (for me, a championship defense, above all else, is great at rushing the passer and consistently forcing turnovers)?
Bill WIlliamson (2:19 PM)
I think KC has the best defnese in the division, particulary in the back eight. If Poe at the nose can be an instant difference maker, watch out.
THE Famous Darth (Classy Philly)
At this point right now, who would you take: Rod Streater or Louis Murphy?
Bill WIlliamson (2:22 PM)
Tough one, Dude. I mean for 2012, it's Murphy. But if Streater is good in the preseason, there has to be a spot for him. I could see Murphy being shopped -- a la Patrick Cratyon -- on cutdown weekend. That is not arreport, just a hunch.
National Master Dave (Denver, CO)
I saw in the Insider that Tyler Wilson should be KC's 1st pick. Is he the best QB after Barkley??
Bill WIlliamson (2:24 PM)
I think the dela with QBS is, they go very early in the draft. Look, there were three in the top eight this year and Tannehill is considered risky and he still went No. 8. So if the Arkansas kid is great, the Chiefs will have to trade up for him. Same for Barkley.
Mike (FantasyIsland)
How is Charles doing? Im aiming for him in every fantasy draft, I feel like he'll return to form but base that off of no factual evidence
Bill WIlliamson (2:26 PM)
Everything seems to be on pace. But we won't know until we see it.I'm no fantasy guru, but with him coming off the injury and the team brining in Hillis, Perhaps Charles shouldn't be a real ealry fantasy play.
Andy (Chicago)
So the Raiders looking at Benson means what for Goodson?
Bill WIlliamson (2:26 PM)
It means they are not putting all their eggs in the basket of a guy who had zero carries last year. That's no knock on Goodson, but it's the smart play.
ryan santos (Perryville...MISSOURI )
Should the Chiefs try to lure in a veteren TE behind Boss and Moeaki?
Bill WIlliamson (2:27 PM)
I know they have looked at some guys, but there isn't much out there.
THE Famous Darth (Classy Philly)
What are your thoughts on Mel Kiper's early prediction of Notre Dame's ILB Manti Te'o to the Raiders?
Bill WIlliamson (2:28 PM)
If McCLain stinks this year or gets in more off-field trouble, Oakland will have to start thinking of other plans and the Notre Dame kid can play.
Raider Fan (Raiderland)
I think many under value the signing of Phillip Wheeler, he may be the best LB on Oakland's roster. Could he move to MLB where he played in college and put Burris at SLB and Curry at WLB during McClain's suspension?
Bill WIlliamson (2:30 PM)
OK, but don't overvalue Wheeler, either. So far, he's just been a guy. There was very little interest in him in free agency. That's a sign. I'm not saying he's terrible, but let's see what he does in Oakland's system before singing his praises.
Rodney (Sacramento, CA)
If the Raiders do sign Cedric Benson would that put Oakland back at the top of our Division with the best running back duo? Personally i still think Cedric Benson can put up big numbers and start for some teams. Whats your take?
Bill WIlliamson (2:31 PM)
Either them or KC. Might give KC the edge.
T. Monster (Pennsylvania)
Do you think the Chargers will stand pat with Whitehurst as the backup QB, or do you think they will try to look at a veteran free agent after the cut deadline? I get in such a lather when I see them settling for mediocrity at the back-up position!
Bill WIlliamson (2:32 PM)
So far, I think they plan on sticking with Whitehurst. Yes, scary.
PT (Franklin, NC)
Would you not argue that the Raiders this year are deeper than the Raiders who went 8-8 last year, and if not, at what positions do they have less depth than last years roster?
Bill WIlliamson (2:33 PM)
1904 (the finest city in america )
Bill,Going to Vegas tonight. Do i make it back alive?
Bill WIlliamson (2:33 PM)
Over/under Saturdya night.
THE Famous Darth (Classy Philly)
Concerned about Raiders C Stefan Wisniewski's surgerically repaired shoulder?
Bill WIlliamson (2:34 PM)
Nah, he's tough as nails. He played with it when was torn. He'll be fine with it repaired.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Who will be the AFC West ROY?
Bill WIlliamson (2:35 PM)
I'ma big Melvin Ingram guy. I expect big things right away.
Daniel Sams (Manhattan )
What's the story with RB Jackie Battle? Coming off of his best season, all of a sudden he finds himself unemployed.
Bill WIlliamson (2:38 PM)
JAG: Just A Guy.
Tay Bender (Lincoln )
Are you buying the recent Ricky Stanzi hype? Is he really a QB of the future or just doomed to be a backup?
Bill WIlliamson (2:39 PM)
Not yet. I look forward to seeing him this summer. I think he has a chance to be a good backup. I'd be surprised if it goes beyound that.
Bash (Olathe, KS)
What is your opinion on Chiefs RB Cyrus Gray?
Bill WIlliamson (2:39 PM)
Good prospect. Maybe play special teams as a rookie.
chris (cherry hill, nj)
Hey Bill, who has the best OL going into next year?
Bill WIlliamson (2:42 PM)
I don't think there are any great O-lines in the division right now. For the moment, I think K.C. has a chance to be the best, but it's fluid between all four lines.
Randy (Grove, OK)
You are on of the few in the national media showing love for my Chiefs. Is it just the fact that we have Matt Cassel as our QB or is Manning fever hitting the whole country?
Bill WIlliamson (2:43 PM)
I think those are the two biggest reasons why the Chiefs are flying under the radar.
Mark (Toronto)
Who do you think wins the Raiders nickel back gig?
Bill WIlliamson (2:43 PM)
Justa guess: Chewka.
Holden Caulfield (Pency Prep)
B-Dub, now that the Chargers have Eddie Royal, do you think he'll continue to be used as a PR?
Bill WIlliamson (2:43 PM)
Ye. He can be dymanic in that role.
angel_2win (afc west blog)
any word on the progress of Eddie McGee? seems Criner has outshined him so far.
Bill WIlliamson (2:44 PM)
You can only have so manyprospects at a position. Criner and Streater seem to have the edge at this point.
Scott (Northglenn, CO)
Would it make sense for the Broncos to offer a 6th rounder for Colt McCoy if/when Caleb Hanie proves in preaseason that they need a better backup?
Bill WIlliamson (2:45 PM)
Always something to consider, I guess.
Scott (Northglenn, CO)
If Percy Harvin is truly available, would you be on board with the Broncos offering a 2nd rounder? A first?
Bill WIlliamson (2:46 PM)
A second would be tempting.
Ross (NY)
What's your favorite team?
Bill WIlliamson (2:47 PM)
San Francisco Giants. 2-5 in their last seven. Chapping my tail.
Jamal (Hawaii)
What happened to Marcus Thomas DT in Denver?
Bill WIlliamson (2:48 PM)
I guess he could come back but they have semeed to move on. DT depth isn't as big of a problem as it was a few months ago.
Randy (Grove, OK)
The Chiefs have an "elite" player at saftey in Eric Berry. My question is can Kendrick Lewis become an elite player for the Chiefs?
Bill WIlliamson (2:51 PM)
I know some scouts who really like him. Playing with Berry again will help. The word 'elite' is used for a reason, because there aren't too many great players. So I hesitate to say Lewis willl be elite. Let's say 'good.'
Sergio Quintero (Tijuana, Mexico)
Hi Bill, what do you expect of the chargers corners in 2012, they really like they took a step backwards last year, will an emphasis on more pressure result in play similar to 2010? Do you think Jammer is regressing or was it just a bad year?
Bill WIlliamson (2:52 PM)
I don't think it is a super strong suit for the team, but I think Jammer and Cason are good enough. There are worse pairs in the NFL than those two.
Mark (Toronto)
Based on OTAs, is there any word on whether or not there's a "Pryor package"? Does he see the field for more than a play?
Bill WIlliamson (2:52 PM)
I think we coluld see one emerge. He is too ahtletic not to have a plan for him.
Eron (Wyoming)
Which WR currently has the edge for becoming Manning's favorite target? Decker seems to be bonding well with Peyton, but I've heard that Thomas has been torching CBs in practice. What's your take?
Bill WIlliamson (2:53 PM)
I think Thomas is the better player, but Decker may be the player Manning looks for more often. Either way, I think these two will be a strong starting tandem.
Randy (Grove, OK)
The Chiefs seem to be building an offense that is totally the opposite of where the league seems to be heading. A lot of other teams are airing it out but the Chiefs will be built around the running game. Can a team win it all with that type of running offense in today's NFL?
Bill WIlliamson (2:54 PM)
But look at all those receiving weapons. This is a varied offense.
Rodney (Sacramento, CA)
Oh so you'll answer Andy's question about Cedric but not mine? what if i said i was from Chicago too, would that help get my question answered?
Bill WIlliamson (2:56 PM)
So you expected to be the only who asked about Benson?
Ross (NY)
Carter or Moore at FS?
Bill WIlliamson (2:57 PM)
My guess: Carter.
Jeffsown (SD, not South Dakota)
Hey Bill, what do you expect from John Pagano? Can he mold a consistent top 10 defense like his older brother did for the Ravens?
Bill WIlliamson (2:57 PM)
He is a Wade Phillips' guy. I expect that type of defense.
What would you consider a successful season for Dontari Poe? Should we expect him to play all 3 downs this year?
Bill WIlliamson (2:58 PM)
If he starts the entire season and plugs the hole. Nose tackle success is not based on stats.
Fett (Slave One)
If the Broncos don't make it to the AFC Championship Game, will this year be a failure???...AND, will the blame be thrown on Elway/Fox like everyone jumps on AJSmith/Norval, Al Davis (rip) or Matt Cassel?
Bill WIlliamson (2:59 PM)
I don't think this sia one eyar deal, so no, not a failure.
Dexter (AZ)
So who do you belive will emerge as the #1 WR for the Bolts (Meechem, Floyd)?
Bill WIlliamson (2:59 PM)
FLoyd if he stays healthy.
TomWill (AFCWest Blog)
Your feelings on the NFC South vs. the AFC West this year?
Bill WIlliamson (3:00 PM)
I think the AFC West better hope Tampa Bay struggles, because the other three teams are strong. Not too many breaks.
Sergio Quintero (Tijuana, Mexico)
Hi Bill, early reports are that Antonio Gates is healthy what are your expectations for him this season? Thoughts on him not making the Top 100 players?
Bill WIlliamson (3:01 PM)
Another big year.
bob (SD)
who will have a better chance at making the team edwin baker, or mike hayes
Bill WIlliamson (3:01 PM)
I'd say Baker right now.
AJ (Oakland)
True or False: The AFC W is the strongest QB division in football
Bill WIlliamson (3:01 PM)
AJ (Oakland)
Reports from camp have been that Pryor is a hard worker and good kid, but hasn't looked so great at QB. Is it time to try him at TE?
Bill WIlliamson (3:02 PM)
Let's see what he cna do at QB after another year.

Is there any doubt that Altamira Fine Art changes things up as fast as humanly possible? The gallery is a powerhouse, turning its artists into big stars. This summer Altamira opened a new show every two weeks, and each, save Nieto's, featured two to three artists.
Now Altamira Fine Art is opening a second gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona. A Grand Opening is scheduled for Thursday, November 7th, 7-9:00 pm (taking advantage of Scottsdale's "Fall for the Arts" ArtWalk). Location: 7038 E. Main Street, Scottsdale, AZ, in the Downtown Arts District. Artists Glenn Dean and R. Tom Gilleon will be featured at the opening.
The new gallery will provide a unique presence in Scottsdale. A boutique gallery, Scottsdale's Altamira is being designed at a scale of approximately 1800 square feet.
"Our Arizona clients have been asking when we might open a Scottsdale gallery," Altamira director Mark Tarrant said. "Now we can serve important markets in two locations." Tarrant founded Jackson's gallery in 2009, immediately capturing the best of the Western Contemporary art market. Scottsdale's Altamira Fine Art will focus on the secondary art market—artwork being sold after its initial sale.
Congratulations, Mark! Success breeds success! However: please don't be a stranger and get to likin' Scottsdale TOO much!

A highlight of last week's Wyoming Arts Council (WAC) annual conference was listening to stories and presentations by artists around the state able to realize projects and gain audiences with the help of WAC. It's so difficult for us all to be together, and e-communications and conferences offer connectivity and provide perspective. Two WAC state "Bright Spots" are Lovell's Hyart Film Festival and Wyoming Fiber Trails.
Just over 2,000 people populate Lovell, Wyoming, but that didn't stop Lovell resident Jason Zeller from founding the Hyart Film Festival. Lovell's Hyart Theater, the festival's home, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the 1950's, it's an awesome piece of period architecture, a location scout's dream. Zeller, a film buff, has accomplished a feat; he spoke about his festival with infectious passion and humor. Having attended countless film festivals, he found he didn't like a lot of them. Existing festivals were either overpriced, pretentious, or focused on themes Zeller deemed over-exposed and predictable.
So, he fixed his sights on building his own film festival. Zeller wasn't interested in exploring other locations; Lovell was it. There was this really cool theater, after all! Film-goers love it—-they post testimonials expressing how much the revitalized theater means to them—read those testimonials here. Zeller has shown cultural films produced in Afghanistan and Australia; film categories also include horror, children's films and dramatic entries. He'd love to see more Wyoming films submit to the Festival, so log on to Hyart's website here, and get in touch with Zeller.
Everyone enjoy a good trail, but there's an especially creative, historic trail winding its way around Wyoming. Wyoming's citizens are mostly separated by big spaces; when you're alone in a big space creativity reaffirms personal narrative.
Wyoming Fiber Trails is "a treasure trove of individuals who do everything from horsehair hitching to rug braiding, spinning, felting, dolls, horse gear, leather work and a host of unusual activities," says founder Sue Blakely. Blakely and her partners are chronicling fiber artisans around the state; each artisan, gallery and shop they uncover possess distinct Wyoming voices manifested in fiber.
"How many people knew we had a yak farm in Wyoming and that they had gathered yak fiber and had it commercially spun last year? " asks Blakely. "A lot of us know about the sheep ranchers, even llama, alpaca and buffalo. But not yak!"
Two new Art Association exhibitions open this week. "Rendezvous: Ceramics Contemporary Invitational" and "Printegrated" share an opening reception at the Art Association on Friday, October 25th, 5:30-7:30 pm. Both shows remain on exhibit through November 29th, 2013.
Ceramicist Sam Dowd is co-curator for "Ceramics Contemporary," along with University of Montana associate professor Trey Hill. The show hones in on the themes of utilitarian and sculptural ceramics, and is comprised of selected works from around the country. Hill and Dowd will give a talk on November 22nd, 5:30 – 6:30 pm, at the Art Association Gallery, and a clay demonstration on Saturday, November 23rd, 10am – 5pm in the Art Association's Clay Studio.
For information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone 307.733.6379.
"Printegrated," says the Art Association, "is a local survey of artists making handmade 2-D print work. Pieces include: block prints, lithographs, screen prints, intaglio, posters, books, zines and other printed ephemera." Contact Thomas Macker, Art Association Gallery Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or phone (310) 428.4860 for info. www.artassociation.org
"All art shows….contribute to our creative sides." ~ Tom Klingenmeier, General Manager, Sawdust Art Festival
California Roll.
Thanks to good friends, I was recently lucky enough to visit the city of Laguna Beach, CA . It's a wonderful arts city, crowded with tourists and locals alike, just as Jackson is during our high summer season. We went to an art fair I'll never forget: the Sawdust Art & Craft Festival on Laguna Canyon Road. Set against a cliff in a eucalyptus grove, Sawdust is a world unto itself, wildly creative, funky and welcoming. A waterfall splashes off the cliff into a rocky pool.
Sawdust is open two full months during the summer, late June through early September. Participating artists must be from Laguna. Close to 200 artists build their own booths each year. Booths must be constructed of wood frame and roofs, built strictly to code, and they can be as imaginative as artists wish, resulting in a fair that feels like a pop-up fantasy art village. Booth spaces differ in size, so Sawdust artists must scale to fit. Artists are responsible for taking booths down and restoring the three acre grove to its original natural state. Booths come down after Sawdust's Winter Fantasy Show; a holiday-themed show taking place the last two weekends in November and the first two in December. Offices, meeting rooms, a glass-blowing center and arts education "classrooms" remain up year-round.
A very broad array of price points means there's affordable art for everyone.
Sawdust blew me away! From the moment I walked in (entry fees for adults are in the $7-$8 range) I wondered how Laguna pulls this fair off; it's 47 years old. I made a note to contact Sawdust, ask pesky questions about its structure and history, and report to you! Tom Klingenmeier, Sawdust's general manager sent a generous response. I've edited my questions and Tom's replies for length.
Tammy Christel: How did Laguna Beach galleries initially respond to Sawdust? Was there trepidation? How do galleries feel about Sawdust today?
Tom Klingenmeier: When we began only about a third of the galleries Laguna currently has existed, and there was some resentment. Soon, though, gallery owners, hotels and restaurants realized that Sawdust generated over a half-million visitors in a short time. They quickly adapted and embraced the shows. They now rely heavily on the traffic we generate. Some of our galleries collaborate, featuring local artists in Laguna's three summer festivals. Some artists conduct co-ops, taking turns being in their space to cut down on sales personnel. It also affords the artists more time to share art experiences with visitors, leading to more affordable art and knowledge for the buyer.
TC: How is Sawdust paid for?
TK: We sell tickets, and if you saw all three shows you had the chance to buy our "Passport to the Arts" ticket for all those shows, all summer long; it includes one-time parking in a large lot served by free tram service that goes all over town. We charge very nominal booth fees, have a retail shop that sells only Sawdust T-shirts, sweatshirts and hats, and we charge rent for the five food concessions we lease. We have a saloon, selling wine and beer.
Tuesday, May 14th, I attended the Town and County funding appeals session at the Teton County Commissioners chamber. Civic process is fascinating. That day the Cultural Council of Jackson Hole defended its appeal to both bodies for greater arts funding. I think it went well! With our ever-changing leadership, it's difficult for new civic leaders to be up to speed on the Arts Council's function. On Tuesday that role was clarified, I hope to the group's benefit.
Many grant applicants receive funding from other sources. For the Arts Council, that's not so. Town and County funding is their sole support. Cynthia Huyffer and Lisa Samford made oral presentations to the panel, making several points: Funding for the Arts Council has sunk 40% in recent years; "Americans for the Arts" comprehensive study of the economic impact of the arts here in Teton County stresses art's key role in our community's health; tourism is bolstered by a strong arts presence (true in EVERY city!); arts are not "icing on the cake"–they foster new ideas, keep cities exciting and dynamic, reflect history and new arts initiatives, are language tools, build self-esteem, create memorable high-impact experiences; and that the Cultural Council is a "re-granting" group. They use monies provided by Town and County to fund grant requests.
The Arts Council had, by far, the greatest number of supporters in the room. That sends a strong message in itself, doesn't it? In addition to the speakers named above, these individuals were present: Cathy Wikoff, Alissa Davies, Emy diGrappa, Gary Silberberg, Carrie Geraci, Amanda Flosbach, Pontier Sackrey, Rachel Pettingill and Mary Lee White. Apologies if I've left any names out.
The Arts Council requested $50,000 from the County and $20,000 from the Town. Last year, total funding was approximately $34,000. As the group pointed out, that money has to be distributed, most often, to 20-25 arts groups approved for funding by the Arts Council.
Now that the Arts Council has made its appeal, it's time for Jackson's artists to send in their applications. These grants are available to arts and culture organizations as well as individual artists. Your project should be creative, dynamic and beneficial to a broad portion of the community. Ask yourself this: Would I feel confident presenting my request directly to the Town Council or Teton County Commissioners? How would they respond?
This is a two-way street, so read your application out loud to yourself. How does it sound? It's a gift to have the Council go to bat for artists that may not wish to be in chambers; and our civic leaders, overwhelmed with agendas, recognize that the Cultural Council does a huge service by working with arts organizations directly.
Grants are now available on the Cultural Council of Jackson Hole website. Here are guidelines: The program distributes social service tax dollars from the Town of Jackson and Teton County for arts education, producing and presenting opportunities, and public projects by individual artists that have strong community benefit. Requests may be up to $6,000, and must be cash-matched at least 1:1 by each applicant. Applications are due June 1, 2013. No support will be provided to any entity already receiving public support from Town or County funds.
You can find Arts for All application forms, guidelines and budget at www.culturalcounciljh.org. Contact Alissa Davies at firstname.lastname@example.com. And Alissa: Thank you for your years of balanced, constant, thoughtful and energetic work on behalf of "Arts for All!" You are one of Jackson's finest arts representatives.
Today's post is a Jackson art quote quiz…..Fun! Leo d.V. ( NOT from Jackson) might have a quote here, but everyone else is anonymous. Enjoy!
"I guess I feel wildflowers are worthy of sainthood."
"process, engagement, collaboration, instigation~~This year is marked by unique collaborations which engage me on ambiguous terrain and with conceptual duality. I exploit the magical/practical, which brims with repetition and surprise. And I continue to work as a bricoleur!"
"Art is not being recycled from one house to the other. There's a place for all of it, but it's nice to see more confidence in people about buying art, other than what they think they should be buying because they live in Jackson."
"The colt sketch is so loose, but you know what it is; it's more ethereal."
"The only good art is post-referential art!"
"To know what you're painting, everyone can pick up a tube of paint and squeeze. But to know what you're squeezing, that takes book learning."
"If someone innocently pulls into town and parks in the parking lot, needs to use the public facilities, they find my art wrapped around the building!"
"If I avoid painting the Tetons for fear of their being trite, it would be dishonest."
"Castellazzo got a piece of all the french roast coffee trucked into town, and he is the main supplier of nudes for life drawing classes."
"The West is industrialized, it's not perfect and beautiful…but what is tragic, or could be tragic, you weave that into a beautiful pattern of the landscapes."
"Very few people know that those flowers were not there the day that painting was done. I know they weren't there, and I know the reason Bob painted them in. But I can't tell you, it's a secret."
The Poetry Box's Meg Daly writes she is very excited that The Poetry Box is now stocked with poems by Pulitzer Prize winning Poet Gary Snyder. The Poetry Box, a free source of poetry for locals, by locals and otherwise noted poets, stands outside Jackson's Valley Bookstore, in Gaslight Alley.
Snyder is this year's Teton County Library "Page to Podium" speaker; Snyder will give a poetry reading at Jackson's Center for the Arts Theater on Tuesday, March 13, 6-8:00 pm. His reading will be followed by an interview with local author, Exum mountain guide and Zen practitioner, Jack Turner. At the evening's end, Snyder will preside over a book signing. Daly notes that the library has produced collectible bookmarks featuring four of Snyder's poems.
"This is a dream come true for The Poetry Box – that the work of local and regional poets would intermingle with poetry greats like Snyder, Nye and Pinsky," says Daly. "Thanks to our collaborators and sponsors: Teton County Library, Jackson Hole Review, JH Writer's Conference, pARTners, and the amazing JH Public Art Initiative. Thanks, also, to you readers! And please send me your poems!"
The Poetry Box is designed and built by John Frechette (www.strappedglass.com). Email Meg Daly at email@example.com. To learn more about Snyder's Jackson appearance, visit this link.
