Nasrallah praises Hezbollah's role in fighting ISIL in Syria
Newscast Media BEIRUT— Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah boasted Tuesday
that his party had the upper hand against Islamists in Syria, while warning Israel that
the resistance was ready for any conflict on Lebanon's southern border.
Addressing a crowd of tens of thousands commemorating Ashoura in Beirut's southern
suburbs, Nasrallah once again sought to defend Hezbollah's intervention in the Syrian
civil war.
"The goal of the takfiris was to control Syria and eliminate all communities of other
religions and Muslim sects and even those in the Sunni community who do not agree
with their viewpoint," the secretary-general said. "Syria was waiting to face what is
happening from massacres in Mosul and Anbar … As we enter the fourth year of the
Syrian conflict, the takfiris have not yet been able to control Syria."
Hezbollah's Nasrallah issues warning to Syrian rebels
Newscast Media DAMASCUS—The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group has warned that allies of the Syrian regime would not allow it to fall at the hands of rebel forces. He indicated that his Iranian-backed forces were ready to intervene.
In a speech aired by Hezbollah's television Al-Manar on Tuesday, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Syrian rebels would not be able to topple President Bashar al-Assad's regime using force.
"Syria has real friends in the region and the world who will not let Syria fall in the hands of America, in the hands of Israel or in the hands of extremist groups," the movement's leader said.
"The battle is long … We tell you [Syrian rebels] that you will not be able to bring this regime down through military means," he added.
Backed and allegedly financed by Iran, Hezbollah is a staunch ally of President al-Assad. Syrian rebels have accused both Iran and Hezbollah of sending fighters to assist Syrian troops in fighting mainly Sunni opposition forces.
The Shiite Muslim group has formally denied the allegations, admitting only to protecting Shiite villages along Lebanon's border with Syria. It claims more than 30,000 Shiite Lebanese live in the affected villages.
"We say it clearly, we will not leave the Lebanese in the Qusair rural area vulnerable to attack by armed groups. Who ever needs help, we will not hesitate to give it," Nasrallah said Tuesday.
His comments were the strongest indication yet that Hezbollah fighters would be open to greater participation in Syria "if the conflict escalates more."
According to UN figures the two-year conflict in Syria has claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people. What started as an uprising against al-Assad's regime has now deteriorated into a civil war, which threatens to exacerbate sectarian tensions throughout the region.
Increased involvement from Hezbollah will almost certainly threaten stability in Lebanon, which is deeply divided along sectarian lines. It would also risk involvement from Iran and Israel. Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, has the backing of Shiite Iran which has also previously indicated it would not allow the regime to fall to Sunni forces.

Sayyed Nasrallah: Hezbollah will not tolerate Israeli attack
Newscast Media BEIRUT—Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Nasrallah warned Israel and its allies that the Islamic resistance in Lebanon is fully equipped and will not tolerate any attack against the Lebanese territory, in a televised speech during a ceremony in commemoration of the late Hezbollah leaders, Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Sayyed Abbas Al-Mousawi and Hajj Imad Moghniyeh.

Nasrallah: West is luring al-Qaeda into Syria to be killed by Bashar Assad
Newscast Media DAMASACAS—During a speech he gave two days ago, Hezbollah's Secretary General, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said al-Qaeda had been lured into Syria to be killed by the Syrian army, according to Islam Times.
"The situation in Syria is getting more complicated (but) anyone who thinks the armed opposition can settle the situation on the ground is very, very, very mistaken. The West and some allied Arab countries have lured al-Qaeda-affiliated militants into Syria to be killed," he said.
Nasrallah believes that al-Qaeda fighters have been tricked into entering the lion's den. His logic makes a lot of sense, because the West could not kill them in the mountains where they were hiding, so they were promised a few guns and bullets and sent to the front lines, where they would be sitting ducks.
Assad has single-handedly killed more al-Qaeda than anyone else in the past 21 months, so he is very useful to the West. All the West has to do, is (i) pretend that they hate Assad, (ii) use the gullible media to spread that narrative, (iii) arm al-Qaeda rebels, (iv) make-believe they (the rebels) are legitimate by recognizing them officially, and (v) send them into the snake pit, knowing they will not return alive.
Al-Qaeda in Syria is a captive audience because they are all congregating in one country, as opposed to being spread out in caves in the Afghan mountains.
"I warn al-Qaeda: the Americans and the European countries and Arab and Islamic countries have set a trap for you in Syria, and opened for you a battlefield so you come from across the world… to be killed and to kill each other," Nasrallah emphasized in his speech published by Islam Times.
There are already western intelligence reports from Al-Manar that Assad's army has the upper hand, and Syria has already signed multi-billion dollar contracts exclusively with Russia, for the reconstruction of destroyed parts of Syria.
Russia has also sent additional warships to the Mediterranean, according to Russia's Defense Ministry.
U.S. places new sanctions on Syrian oil company Sytrol and Hezbollah
Newscast Media WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. State Department announced on Friday that it has imposed sanctions on Syria's state-run oil company for selling 33,000 metric tons of gasoline to Iran in April. The State Department said this kind of trade allows Iran to continue developing its nuclear program while providing the Syrian government with resources to oppress its own people.
"The United States remains deeply concerned about the close ties shared by the Iranian and Syrian regimes and is committed to using every tool available to prevent regional destabilization," State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said in a statement August 10.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is on her way to Turkey for talks with Turkish leaders and Syrian opposition activists to coordinate efforts to oust the regime of Bashar al-Assad and start planning to help Syria after Assad falls, according to the article on the State Department's Web site.
Meanwhile, the sanctions on Hezbollah were placed because the U.S. believes it is providing training, advice and "extensive logistical support" to the Assad regime. According to a Wall Street Journal, the U.S. said Hezbollah has been working closely with Iran, Mr. Assad's other close supporter and the main U.S. nemesis in the region.
"I think it is safe to say that Hezbollah is playing a critical role in advising the Syrian government and training its personnel in how to prosecute a counterinsurgency," Daniel Benjamin, the U.S. State Department's coordinator for counterterrorism, said Friday. "At this point…we're satisfied by our assessment that the group is playing an absolutely integral role in helping the Assad regime try to put down this popular movement."
Analysts in the region argue that the U.S. is overstating Hezbollah's role in Syria, and say the group has chosen to limit its support for Mr. Assad—endorsing Syria's regime but not publicly taking up arms to defend it.
"Although the final decision hasn't been made, Hezbollah has come to realize that it doesn't serve its core objectives to get involved in Syria and Iran's conflict," said Omar Nashabi, a columnist for the Al-Akbar newspaper, which leans toward supporting Hezbollah. The Reuters full article can be read here.
In other reports, the rebel gangs in Aleppo are asking for more weapons from the West, because they are "slowly losing the battle" against Assad. Syrian rebels were running low on ammunition and guns Friday and appealed for international help as government forces tried to consolidate their control over Aleppo, the country's largest city and a deadly battleground in recent weeks.
"The warplanes and helicopters are killing us, they're up there in the sky 15 hours a day," said Mohammad al-Hassan, an activist in Aleppo's main rebel stronghold of Salaheddine. "I don't know how long this situation can be sustained," the New York Times reported in this article.
Regardless of whether the sanctions against Hezbollah will have any effect, the group has now been dragged into the crisis in Syria, and it will be interesting to see what Hezbollah's reaction, covert or overt, will be in the weeks ahead.

Hi, I came across the following entry in the 11th Battalion Machine Gun Corps War Diary :-
B Company 11 Battn MGC
No 114375 Pte ARMSTRONG R
On April 9th ( 1918 ) at HULLUCH a German Aeroplane, damaged by Lewis Gun fire was forced to land between our Reserve and Front lines. The two airmen, an officer and a NCO took out a machine gun and attempted to get back to their own lines. PTE ARMSTRONG seeing this, took a rifle and went forward to stop them, but was caught up in our own barbed wire. He then shot the NCO, who was getting away, and called to the officer to surrender. The officer neglected his call and PTE ARMSTRONG shot him in the leg, the officer then put up his hands and came towards our lines, but in coming close up to PTE ARMSTRONG and seeing him alone and hampered by the wire, he jumped towards him and tried to snatch away the rifle. PTE ARMSTRONG fired again and shot him in the abdomen. PTE ARMSTRONG's conduct showed great daring and a very resourceful handling of the situation. His action prevented the enemy airmen from getting back to their lines, and was the means of several important maps and papers being secured.
Is anyone able to identify who the two German airmen were ?

Heidfeld Out, Senna In
Renault have confirmed that Bruno Senna will partner Vitaly Petrov this weekend, with Nick Heidfeld left on the sidelines. However, it is not yet confirmed if it is a permanent change, a one-off along the lines of Karun Chandhok's outing at Lotus (not that Lotus keep copying Lotus or anything) or even a temporary move before a third driver enters the equation.
That third driver would be likely to be former Renault driver, Romain Grosjean, who team principal Eric Boullier has suggested he would be interested in running. Grosjean is on the brink of clinching the GP2 title, a feat he could manage this weekend as he enjoys a 25 point lead with just two rounds remaining. Therefore it's not infeasible that he's being allowed the opportunity to wrap up the series while Senna has a chance to show his ability for a race or two.
However, team owners Genii Capital have begun expanding into Brazil, announcing a joint venture with Brazilian investment group, WWI. Clearly, the Senna brand is a valuable asset in their bid to attract Brazilian investors.
Confusing the matter further, of course, is the potential return of Robert Kubica at some point in the future. If he does return, and it's still an if, someone would have to make way. The changes seem to have Vitaly Petrov concerned as his manager, Oxana Kosachenko, has revealed that the negotiations on Petrov's next season's contracts are being revisited.
Meanwhile, where does that leave Nick Heidfeld? It would seem that Heidfeld's exit is a permanent one – Renault GP have wasted no time in removing him from their website and only Kubica, Petrov, Senna and Grosjean now grace the 'driver profiles'. The Daily Telegraph claims that the German driver 'is prepared to use legal channels to hang on to his race seat.' That seems unlikely, however, as it was thought that he was only drafted in to replace Kubica on a race-by-race contract anyway. Even if that isn't the case, he'll only cause further damage by suing the team that rescued his career from extinction.
It seems that we may have seen the last of 'Quick Nick' in Formula One.

In 1989, "The Learning Tree" was among the first 25 films deemed "culturally, historically, or esthetically significant" enough to be included in the National Film Registry for future preservation. Parks' second feature, "Shaft" (1971), actually had a far greater cultural impact. A major commercial success, the gritty NYC-lensed black detective story was one of the key early films in the 70s "Blaxploitation" movement. "Shaft" generated a hit theme song, two sequels (the first, 1971's "Shaft's Big Score", was also helmed by Parks) and a TV series. Continuing to work in the action genre for the next several years, Parks displayed increasing technical and narrative proficiency and was rewarded ...

U.S. Marine Corps Captains Matthew Browning and Jeffrey Arroyo, of Marine Corps Recruiting Station Phoenix, present a Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl jersey to Nate Adams, long snapper and linebacker for Greenway High School of Phoenix, during halftime of the sold out Houston Texans versus the Arizona Cardinals football game at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2013. Adams, 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, tied the single-season school record for tackles with 101 through 10 games for the 6-4 Greenway Demons. "I'm super excited because it feels like all of this hard work is paying off and somebody else is recognizing it," said Adams. "The Semper Fi Bowl isn't just directly focused toward your athletic ability, they look at integrity and character. It's an honor to be considered that highly of that regard."

Too bad and sorry to hear that. Toaster was a nice little add-on.
The last comment related to Zimbra Notifier 3.0.7 from Habitech which I assume is not part of the Zimbra project. That product does not work at all (at least for me).
This thread started with a discussion about the Toaster add-on that I believe is/was provided by the Zimbra project.

Charming, in a bizarre sort of way, is the donkey-tail spurge, which forms a sprawling octopus of thick stems. This species seeds around a bit and pops up in unexpected places, especially in gravelled walkways. Of all the species, this one can cause the most extreme skin reactions, which may intensify when exposed to the sun.
Where winters are very cold, gardeners can only dream about growing the big and bushy evergreen spurge. In West Coast gardens, these have become deservedly popular, and there are a dozen or so selections available. Big, hand-sized heads of bracts appear in late winter and last into early summer. The substantial clumps are often placed as specimens near entranceways or where their winter colour can be appreciated. Caring for this species is simple: in early summer, remove any stems that have finished blooming, cutting them right down to their bases.
The wood spurge has two forms: purple wood spurge, which produces a mound of purple-red evergreen leaves and self-seeds a little; and leatherleaf spurge, or Mrs. Robb's bonnet, which is an extremely handsome groundcover but spreads aggressively by underground runners. It's best used on challenging sites, such as in dry shade where nothing much seems to grow. Martin's spurge is similar-looking but forms a well-behaved clump, making it a better choice where space is limited.
One spreading spurge to avoid at all costs is the Cypress, or graveyard, spurge. It can form a huge patch in what seems like 10 minutes, a habit that's compelled some provinces to place this species on their noxious weed lists. Despite these warnings, selections such as 'Fens Ruby' continue to be sold in nurseries; better to avoid these than to spend years trying to eradicate them.

LOS ANGELES, California, October 20. SOPHOMORE Cristian Quintero won three freestyle races to lead a strong season-opening performance as the USC men's swimming team downed visiting North Carolina State, 173-119, on Saturday.
Quintero, the Venezuelan Olympian who earned All-American honors as a freshman, swept the 100y (44.66), 200y (1:37.52) and 500y free (4:31.77). His 500y free win led a 1-2-3 finish with sophomore Chad Bobrosky a close second (4:31.88) and junior Nick Johnson third (4:33.64).

Facebook Post about buying Local
I normally don't get involved in Facebook conversations or comment on the state of affairs but hearing about Wild and Woolly Video closing and the fact that nobody is talking about it just a week later struck a nerve. I've been to WWV a few times but won't pretend that I was a customer the main reason being that I haven't owned a VCR or DVD player in years! Their few and far between commercials alone made me a fan.
The store is closing, not because they are losing money but because sales have been declining for years and it's better for him to get out while he's ahead and change his career. There were literally hundreds of comments from people saying "NOOO!" "So sad!" "WWV was one of the things that made the Highlands The Highlands." It is sad that another local business is closing. Extremely sad. I'm just wondering how many of the hundreds of people that commented actually patronized WWV in the last year. If ever one of those people had gone in there and rented a video just once in the last year this may not be happening. ear X-tacy might still be open if those same people had bought a few records or cds.
Then there is Regalo Gifts closing their Barret Ave store and protests in front of Lynn's Paradise Cafe that has been closed for 2 years.
So many of our friends are local, small business owners, are self-employed or are local musicians. The list is too long to tag everyone in so please tag yourself if you are a local business owner, work in a locally owned/operated business, self employed, etc.
All of these people are out there scraping and scrounging to make their businesses successful. Most don't have investors, connections to get government funds or local media coverage to help them. They are relying on their wits, blood, sweat and tears to make it.
I pray that we can keep our little Louisville based small business alive and thriving! So please, don't just "like" our FB pages and posts, get out there and support those businesses by purchasing their products and services. Show us that you "like" us buying local each and every day!
Best Gifts for Every Bourbon Lover
Bernie Lubbers aka The Whiskey Professor and Brand Ambassador at Heaven Hill (former BA at Jim Beam) is a friend who we have hung out with a bit and worked for, both via work we have done for Heaven Hill Distillery and for him personally. He contacted us earlier this week and asked if it was ok that he include us in an article he was writing. Well, duh. So, here it is. Thanks Bernie!
Here are some ideas . . .
Stave States and Shapes
Hello! We haven't blogged in a long while but we've been so busy working on new products! Here they are! Stave states and shape signs made from the staves (the long slats of wood that comprise the barrel) of authentic used bourbon barrels. For the moment but we only have permission to share the photograph of the Kentucky but we've got a few other states in the works and someone even wants us to do Australia! The Fleur de Lis is the perfect size for your front door or porch. Just add a bow for the different holiday approaching and you have a year round bourbon love reminder.
They are available on our products page but please remember that shipping & handling charges are NOT included in the price. Email us and we can get you estimates or if you are in the Louisville, KY area you can pick up or we can deliver for a small fee.
People who have blogged about BBR
I was doing a little research (I was a Google-ing fool today) and came across a couple of people who have blogged about us. Here they are...
Pappy Van Winkle Barrel Heads
We are privileged to be working with the Van Winkle family for the past few months on a special project for Pappy & Co. run by the daughters of Julian Van Winkle.
We took 20 Pappy Van Winkle 15 year barrels apart and made custom barrel heads hand wood burned with Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Family Reserve and a famous Pappy saying "Asleep many years in the wood." Each came with a Certificate of Authenticity, wood burned with the barrel number, fill date and the dump date. Each Certificate and barrel head were also signed by Julian Van Winkle.
These first 40 barrel heads sold out quickly but we are looking forward to the next barrels to be dumped early next year. For more information and to get your own Pappy merchandise go to www.pappyco.com!
Some comments from www.pappyco.com about the barrel heads:
What sets us apart
We started this business 3 years ago and there were only a handful of people making art out of barrels. Now there are bunches of people making things left and right. A few of them even dog us on their websites and pages. That's fine with us. The quality of our work, attention to detail and passion for bourbon, barrels, art and integrity is what matters.
We use each and every part of the barrel down to the sawdust. We make each and every piece by hand. Design, hand sanding, nailing, wood burning, everything. That is what sets us apart. No one does what we do, how we do it.
It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We are flattered to death. Thank you to all of our loyal customers for standing behind us.
Bourbon Festival 2013
Bardstown, Kentucky is invaded by 50,000+ every September by people from all over the world to celebrate our native spirit. Throughout the week we had a barrel head with our new logo sitting on a table and asked that people sign it with their name and where they were from.
Our week started on Thursday at the Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey History. Mary Ellyn Hamilton, curator, has graciously hosted us for two years. We, in turn, donate items for the Master Distiller's Auction which is the museum's major fundraiser for the year. While we were setting up a rather famous Kentuckian came by to say hello. Col. Michael Masters, aka "The Kentucky Bourbon Master" who has written several books on Kentucky hospitality, heritage and history. We also got to meet his beautiful wife, Margaret Sue. For more information on the Michael and Margaret Sue, visit www.kentuckybourbonhouse.com.
Another highlight from Thursday was a 20 minute visit with Jimmy Russell and his wife. Jimmy is the Master Distiller at Wild Turkey. I can't tell you what a thrill it was hearing some of the old stories. One of the most interesting was that his wife worked at the distillery before he did and encouraged him to get a job there.
Friday, Adam Harris, North American Brand Ambassador for Jim Beam stopped by and Friday night we went by the Kentucky Bourbon Marketplace that just opened on West Flaget downtown Bardstown. DeeDee and Howard are fabulous hosts and it seems everyone loves the bar Jeff made for the tasting room. The bar top was made from wood planks recovered from the floor of the kitchen of the building built in the 1820's and wood flooring found in the attic. It is truly a piece of art complete with wormholes.
Saturday was the Master Distiller's Auction and the black tie event, The Great Kentucky Bourbon Tasting and Gala where we got to chat with Bernie Lubbers, Brand Ambassador for Heaven Hill, Representative Rob Taylor of Iowa, Willie Pratt of Michter's, and Harlen Wheatley of Buffalo Trace, just to name a few.
Sunday went by in a blur but the bloody mary's from Bloody Kentucky helped get us through the day. We also had a drawing for one of our Garden Benches made from authentic bourbon barrel staves. The winner is Stacie M. from Ft. Knox, Kentucky.
We are blessed beyond words to be doing what we love. Can't wait until next year!
Forecastle Festival 2013
Wow! That's all I can say. What a fantastic weekend of music and bourbon. If you haven't heard of Forecastle you may very well have been living under a rock . Rolling Stone Magazine has named the fest one of the 33 coolest festivals. ("Forecastle Festival Success". Rolling Stone Magazine. July 2012) Click here to find out a little more about the Forecastle Foundation. http://forecastlefest.com/foundation/
According to Fred Minnick, author, photographer and journalist, Forecastle just became bourbon's most important festival, beating out the Kentucky Bourbon Festival because it's hitting a whole new target market. http://fredminnick.com/forecastle-just-became-the-worlds-most-important-bourbon-festival/ And we are proud to have contributed a small part to the effort. Big thanks to Stephanie Lindsay of Green Lady Studio for having faith that we could create her vision for this years Bourbon Lodge.
Liz and Jeff love Bourbon and Kentucky and all that implies.

I have been sent an invitation to submit my work to Artaddiction.com that publishes art books. It has a membership, and if selected, a small fee to be included in a publish book that sells on Amazon.com, and other places. It appears to be legit, but I want to know if anyone has dealt with them before, or had any problems before I do anything. Anyone else getting e-mails form them? Thanks!
Terry, I received an invitation today to submit work for an artbook(for a small fee) to a company called "masters of today"...sounds like the offer you received. I'd be skeptical. Anyone else?
I got two emails from MOT wanting 1300.00 for two pages. Forget it. I laughed so hard.
SUBMIT " as email attachments 3-6 works (JPG /TIFF mage files /300dpi /up to 23 cm / 9".)

I've received similar offers although not from Artaddiction. personally, I feel that if they are selling the book and making a profit on it, they shouldn't be charging the artist to include work. The fee for inclusion is often pretty high. They justify the fee by claiming that your art will get a lot of exposure and the images will include your conatct info for potential buyers. Basically, these appear to be catalogs with hundreds, if not thousands of small images in them which probably don't sell very well at all. they probably are legit in that they do publish a book and will include your work. However, that doesn't guarantee anyone buying the book or seeing your work. Not every thing that is legit or does what they claim is necessarily a good opportunity.
Maybe this offer is different but, I'd be very careful and ask lots of questions before handing over a check. the exposure may be no different than you can get here or other art websites for a lot less money.
i got the MOT email the other day. from my point of view to be a book is an honor but only if they want to put you in there for free. if you have to pay its just you paying for a large advertisement grouped with others doing the same. the book may never get seen. if you're gonna do that you might as well just advertise in a nationally known magazine that has large numbers of subscribers which will definately get seen.
Oh yeah, got the MOT one today... scamblasters!!
I got the MOT email today.
I did find some of there books on line book stores, but thought that the fee was way to high. I can produce a book on demand or self publish cheaper. They may be targeting artist on this site with spam. Nice profit if they hook even a hundred artist at that fee. Geez.
These are just vanity publications. You will end up shown alongside people who create art that you will most likely not want to be seen with.
Most major galleries look down at people who have been in such things.
I got the MOT e-mail yesterday , was wondering just where it came from ,now I know -thanks .
is not working.
Karunesh Agrawal
I got an MOT as well.
Sounds like they are hitting AW artist members pretty well. At least we're aare of it and others. Post new threads if you find other such groups.
I recieved Two emails from them a couple days apart.I feel uncertain about it mostly because i went to the art addiction site and I can't say I enjoyed most of the art on there. I have been finding no galleries and few art publications seem to take fantasy art seriously.When I go to these sites I look to see what type of art they seem to be accepting. I have even emailed sites and they all act like (even the Limner Gallery) they consider all art but if you look you see the types that they take. I paid my fee and entered and all three were rejected (no surprise). Look what all these people accept unless they are new.
Roz Eve
Here's another one for you - possibly. Anyone else had an offer from "firstname.lastname@example.com"? I have, and it looks dodgy.
Batyah Hanks -- Oh yes. I did a Google on her (him? it?) & came up with this:
It's 99% likely a scam. Be very afraid.
Bill Ayton
My rule of thumb....any publishing house, licensing agent..etc, that is legit is NOT going to ask for a submission fee! Some accept online submissions, others hard copies through the mail only....but, I have never been asked to pay a fee.
Buyer beware!
Cathleen Lombard
Thanks Cathleen! Well said!

Hello!!! Book publishers are suppose to pay YOU for your art... Otherwise it is called 'Vanity Press'
It seems that everyone here knows that though. :)
Surprise! I'm, Peter Russu, the editor and the publisher of World of Art Publishing www.worldofartmagazine.com), Masters of Today (www.mastersoftoday.com) Art Addiction Virtual Gallery managing Director (www.artaddiction.net In June 1992, Art Addiction launched the first ever online art gallery) and Artoteque.com (www.artoteque.com) companies registered by the patent and registration office in Sweden and UK.
Despite I speak several languages I never studied English, as I live in Sweden my English doesnt sounds. My goal is publishing art books and not the virtual dialog.
Im 50, active fine artists (MFA graduate 1979), realized around 200 individual and international exhibitions and has works in museums, public, corporate and private collections. Briefly, my art production includes The Middle Ages Trilogy - Love, Sex, and Death on over 361 graphic interpretations: DECAMERON (etching), THE CANTERBURY TALES (encaustic and digital graphic) and the TALE OF GRISELDA (1 drawing and digital graphics). In I created interpretations on etching and painting of Umberto Eco's THE NAME OF THE ROSE and recreated on over 100 paintings, drawings, objects and graffiti Umberto Eco's THE PENDULUM OF FOUCAULT. Umberto Eco opened some of my exhibitions,
Art Publishing is one of most costly and time consuming enterprises (we create page-by-page) and is not about mass-culture-exposure-free-for-all. So far, art Publishers doesnt pay artists to be published and is not free the published artist might get a percentage of the sales (royalties) calculated based on a contractual formula depending on agreement. The publication of a book of art generally is supported by the artists collectors and representatives galleries and museums and never by the editor. The costs of art publishing is the artists fundamental research for co-sponsors, corporations or private individual contributors. Printing is not publishing. We do not print on-demand. The publisher and the selected artist will each bear part of the publishing costs as an estimated of 73 percent supported by the publisher and 27 percent provided by the artist representative or sponsor, to print two-page on 25,000 copies costs much more than ¬990 /$1290 and the result is significantly more valuable than this price. We publish only the applicants whose submissions passing the selection. (Trisha Allard, laughing so hard forget to mention on his recommendation).
Dan Perez: art addiction (www.artaddiction.net) it not selling books but as a well running company, makes a profit since 1992 Art Addiction as the first ever art website exposed over 6000 artists, the largest contemporary art gallery on the web with 11 online global art annual exhibitions one year on view and one medial global art biennial, two years on display, almost 10,000 art works on display In 2005 was visited by 2,406,000 people and some 1,284 artworks have been sold on site.
The book you mention is the Art Addicting anniversary book, a huge success, a bible for many art galleries searching for news artists. Actually the book was distribution on over 7,500 bookstores and eCommerce and at this moment is sold out.
Jessica Torrant: how do you know that MOT is... scamblasters!! Had you been involved?
Brian Sherwin: we do not publish what money pay - review your the vanity publishing concept Karunesh Agrawal: is about www.artaddiction.net (and not artaddiction.com)

Whoa, deja vu
To all concerned, My appologies for not being more clear with my previous post.It was the Limner gallery and http://www.artjury.com/ That I paid my fee to and was rejected not Peter Russu. It is true he has never heard of me.The other two Galleries not Peter acted like they are open to all kinds of art but when you check what type they except there isn't any fantasy ever archived.My point was to check what types are being accepted and see if you fit.In Peters case they do have allot of variety of art.Allot is not to my taste, but Hey, thats my taste and your art might fit perfectly check it out for yourself is myt point. In Peters case there is small amounts of surreal so my stuff is chancey so it might go maybe???? As I said in the beginning of my other post I feel unsure, about It. I think what Peter may.... be trying to say(I certainly can't and don't speak for him.) is the book is being created and a limited edition(so to speak) is being published upfront and total number before it goes out to stores.Therefore the cost per page times how many copies and staff to sort out and set up is why the cost is as it is.Which was confusing to me initially as well.I don't think it is a scam! I can uderstand the confusion about the cost aspect.Your qualifications Peter, I don't think were ever in question they are remarkable! Please understand though That artists pay to be rejected continually Through art contests etc. and other things that can feel like a scam because they didn't recieve any benifit. Your way of doing things is different so it may be difficult to sort out the validity of yor way for inexperienced artists. We speek from at least in my case very limited experience. Iv'e been hiding my art for 35 years till just recently. So please don't think anyone was trying to insult you personally or what you do.We are analysing things and maybe incorrectly?
ooooo ooooo
000000000000 maybe cool your jets
we like your site. It's just that most of us get all kinds of wierd scams emailed to us simply because we show our work online. Hang around and get to know us. We have members from all over the world and this is a community. Join in and show us your work.
My online galleries, Art Addiction (www.artaddiction.net) has now 1423 active members and Artoteque (www.artoteque.com) has 892 professional active artists members- As mentioned above, since 1992, Art Addiction is the first ever and the oldest virtual gallery on www.
WELCOME and enjoy us!!! We do not use to have a forum (artists never talk art but rocknroll and good wine!), we are an important cultural organization - virtual and defacto-showing from Art Basel to Venice Biennial and others premier international art events.
My self as artist ... after more than two hundred own art exhibition worldwide and few year as academy art teacher, I just find thats ridicules to be artist ...after 40... Thanks for the invitation. I m here for a very short time and only to clarify some misunderstandings about our art ideal (also, my English is limited for a satisfactory intellectual communication).
Apropos, how can I unsubscribe as member? I can't find the way out. (Who's the site owner /manager?)
ooooo ooooo
peter you have to delete all images by going to the members area and selecting edit.manage images. After deleting all images you have to email artwanted and ask them to cancel your account.
Been away on vacation, but got some e-mails on this. Seems annoyed a few for this thread. I posted to find out if site was legit or not. Found 2 sites, one wendding with .com, one with .net, so good to know. There are multiple scams and legit invitations being sent recently to lots of AW members.
I know it costs to publish and promote a book. I also know that there are ways to do it and cut down on costs, or promote more effiecently, without costing the artist high fees to be included in publications. Depending on qualitty, quantiy, market, and who does the book printing, it can vary greatly to get a book out. Some might want to invest more than others, some might not want to invest at all. Some want to know what are legit, or outright scams. There may be errors, typos, translation mistakes, and confusion in posts, so, check back for later updated posts to get a more, fuller, information to base wha you personally want to decide.
There are copy cat scammers that go out, often trying to get in on legit businesses. Dealing with translating, or what's being discussed, it is easy to get names wrong, so do your own research, and share. I am trying to be a wise and informed artist, not one taken advantaged one, nor wish a friend and fellow artist to be iether. If you are legit, let us know, clarify, defend if you need to, tell us more about you. Doesn't mean we will all agree in the end, but most try to listen and work together.
I will not be removing my thread or changing the topic heading of it. It is a subject that I wanted to know about, and asked. I apologise for jumping too soon to any wrong conclusions I may have made, based on what I was informed, and found out on my own. Still think the invite I got, from artaddiction.com, not .net, was steep. I did get some other simaliar, and I believe from .net as well, this past month invites. After being flooded with so many, I started to delete them all. I had not time to dig through them all or to research them to see who is legit, worth doing or not. Sure many are wonderful, but, not for me at the moment.
Reduce your cost if you have gotten established as a publisher, have customers that will reorder each year, find ways to keep quality, but cost down, charge more for your book, but lower your artist fees, as they are what sell your books. My opinion, not necessary anyone elses. AW does wonderful work with their publishing products, quality super, costs are amazing, and they are working on better marketing and taking suggestions. I have looked into many types of publishings this last few months to educate myself on what's out there. I took full adavantage of my former purchasing & ordering, librarian skills, so do have some knowledge on prices of books, depending on type. Some of these books are simply catalogues, some more advertizements, some art articles and galleries that are the best ones. AW, kudos for your "Creative Minds", fantastic work, second to none in layout, costs, content.
So, agree or not, right or wrong, not removing this thread.
What I am talking is a flood of private e-mails I got sent by several individuals to take out this thread subject. Some were nice request, and clarifications, some were just rude. I chose not to post the comments,and keep them private as I do not wish to battle over them.
I did not single out "who" sent them, and that's all the "Hell" I will say about it.
Any private rude remarks will be ignored. Constructive and informative, clarifications will be read and taken to mind.
As to MOT, best wishes to your continued success and publishing. I am not trying to come out or single out you as a scam. Just wanted information about yours and others, as there were some e0mails sent to me under artaddiction.com, later I got the MOT ones., which were similar, but not exactly. I did a new google on the .net and it's not showing up in the search like it did before. I think someone might have been trying to trick artist by the similar domain names. Wish I had not deleted the e-mails to post them now.
I had questions, as real scammers were sending me lots of invitations, at the same time as MOT were going out. Someone messing about to con or to copy cat. Don't know.
I do know that Artaddiction is legit, and not the same. I responded here instead of repling to these individuals, some had fake addresses.
There are those that have played around with e-mails before to artist on this site and elsewhere.

Luzerne and Wayne in human services pilot
HARRISBURG - Luzerne and Wayne counties were selected Thursday to participate in a new block grant project for distributing state money for human services programs.
The state Department of Public Welfare approved pilot programs for 20 of the state's 67 counties, the number authorized under the current state budget.
Thirty counties had applied last month to participate, including Lackawanna and Schuylkill.
The program will give counties some flexibility to shift money among seven programs to meet specific needs for services or do things more efficiently with fewer paperwork requirements.
The seven programs include community mental health services and mental disability services, the human services development fund, homeless assistance, child welfare grants, the Behavioral Health Services Initiative and Act 152 drug and alcohol programs.
The state budget cut aid for these programs by 10 percent, or $84 million.
Counties in the pilot program are barred from completely defunding any of the seven programs. The counties will get state funds based on the current allocation formula. With each year, pilot counties will be able to use a larger percentage of their human services money in a flexible manner.
"This program will ensure more funding makes it to our recipients and less is spent on red tape," said Gov. Tom Corbett.
DPW Secretary Gary Alexander said he is committed to getting legislative approval next year to expand the program to include all counties.
The 20 counties were selected based on several factors, including geography, size, poverty level and ability to manage the block grant, officials said. At a House committee hearing earlier this month, several lawmakers said more tracking is needed of the impact of the cuts to human services programs.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
1. The LLC pays State income taxes where it does business, not where it's incorporated (unless it does business where it's incorporated).
2. No.
3. Typically, the LLC would have to withhold 30% of your partner's distributions to the IRS. It will be up to him to try to figure out how to reduce the tax obligation and get some of the money back. But, let's suppose that the LLC does business in Portugal, and all of your partner's revenues come from there, and all of yours come from, well, wherever your taxes are cheapest. Maybe you should be operating out of Nevis-St. Kitts.
4. Delaware corps operate under very favorable laws, when it comes to internal governance. In dealing with customers and vendors, the law of the jurisdiction where you're doing business will generally apply, unless the other party agrees to a different jurisdiction.
1. No. If you don't withhold, the LLC could be fined. See http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw8.pdf.
2. A well-drafted operating agreement would cover everything. You may want to consider looking at some typical agreements, because it's more what you want, than what the attorney wants. The attorney's goal is to get you to where you want to be. Sample agreement: http://www.uslegalforms.com/de/DE-00LLC-1.htm.
3. Yes. But, that is outside the scope of your question, here.
4. The LLC is a pass-through entity if you elect to treat it as a partnership. It will owe no Delaware income taxes, unless you are operating the business in Delaware. You will be taxed on your K-1 distributions as an individual. So, whatever you would pay in taxes on $50K today, is what you will pay on your distributions from the LLC.

G-GDFY (Jet2) nowadays.. [1600 pix]
in basic O2 colors
Pulled out of the paintshop in a dull all white livery. Note the small 'classic' windows above the cockpit windows. Not seen that often on a 737-800. Ex Telefonica/O2 livery jet (OK-TVC).
This Travel Service aircraft has those classic 'eyebrows' above its cockpit windows something which you don't see that often. Departed two days later as 'TVS120P' to Prague.

President Barack Obama will award Staff Sgt. Robert J. Miller the Medal of Honor posthumously for conspicuous gallantry on Oct. 6.
The White House press release announcing the award said Miller will receive the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in Afghanistan on Jan. 25, 2008.
"He displayed immeasurable courage and uncommon valor – eventually sacrificing his own life to save the lives of his teammates and 15 Afghanistan National Army soldiers" the release said.
His parents, Phil and Maureen Miller will join the president at the White House to commemorate their son's service and sacrifice.
Special Operations Command in a story on the award wrote that Miller at 24 was "the youngest member of A Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C., and he quickly earned a reputation for taking on difficult challenges and leading from the front according to numerous interviews with other Operational Detachment-Alpha (ODA) team members.
"An avid athlete and a student of human nature, Miller [nicknamed Robbie] was often called on because of his expertise in weapons and languages. His teammates recalled how quickly he picked up Pashto (one of Afghanistan's native languages) and how the local villagers loved to spend time with him and teach him their language and culture. According to one team member's recollections, the villagers developed a bond with him over evening meals while drinking chai tea; they respected and trusted him."
The command story described the nighttime patrol in Konar Province, where Miller, a Special Forces weapons sergeant, volunteered to take the lead for his team. "Because of his Pashto language abilities, he led and directed the small local contingent of Afghan National Army soldiers from the front. As they approached their target area, his team was attacked by insurgents."
Miller directed fire and provided cover against the 100 insurgents. "Miller deliberately moved forward making himself vulnerable as he engaged several enemy positions to provide suppressive fire, buying time for his teammates to take cover."
Miller was born on Oct. 14, 1983, in Harrisburg, Pa. He graduated from Wheaton North High School, Wheaton Ill. Shortly after his family moved to Oviedo, Fla., he enlisted in the Army as a Special Forces candidate in August 2003. He attended Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Benning, Ga., and later became a Green Beret in 2005.
His military decorations include: Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal with "V" Device, Army Good Conduct Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, NATO Medal, Special Forces Tab, Ranger Tab and Parachute Badge.
He is survived by his parents, Phil and Maureen Miller; brothers Thomas, Martin and Edward; and sisters Joanna, Mary, Therese and Patricia.
