Maynard Dixon Paintings For Sale
Maynard Dixon - Nvorczk for Sale
Maynard Dixon country can be found in all of Maynard Dixon's paintings, watercolors and drawings Maynard Dixon's vivid portrayal of the West shows that the West was indeed Maynard Dixon Country. Maynard Dixon paintings, including his small field sketches, may number as many as 1,200 and this site has just some of the wonderful images that Maynard Dixon painted during his nearly forty year career. Maynard Dixon's original log lists 767 oil paintings.
Maynard Dixon kept a list of most of his paintings starting in November of 1915 and continued until his death in November 1946. This log contains all of Maynard Dixon's most important work. This log is the basis for Maynard Dixon's known work, but currently through the help of Dr. Mark Sublette, the Maynard Dixon Catalogue Raisonne is underway to locate and document all of Maynard Dixon's paintings. Dr. Mark Sublette, of Medicine Man Gallery in both Tucson and Santa Fe, is an expert on Maynard Dixon's life and artwork.
A free evaluation by Dr. Sublette of any possible Maynard Dixon Paintings for inclusion in the Maynard Dixon Catalogue Raisonne can be done by visiting www.maynarddixon.org.
Visitors interested in Maynard Dixon should also visit www.maynarddixonmuseum.com. and www.maynarddixon.net
Maynard Dixon Old Patio, New Mexico c. 1931
Courtesy Maynard Dixon Museum Tucson Arizona
The time Maynard Dixon spent in New Mexico from September 1931 through January 1932 was a happy, contented time for Dixon. Living with wife Dorothea Lange, and children John and Dan, in a house provided by his dear friend Mabel Dodge Luhan, Maynard Dixon completed some of his most productive, and inspired paintings. During the five-month stay, Maynard Dixon was very prolific, painting more than forty canvases of all sizes. Many of these paintings told a story about the interaction between the land and its people. At that time, Northern New Mexico was the heart of a thriving art community.
When Maynard Dixon first visited Arizona, at the turn of the 20th century, it was wild, open territory, inhabited primarily by Hispanics and Native Americans. In 1902, he made his first visit to Lorenzo Hubbell's Ganado trading post, and came away with wonderful sketches he would use as inspiration for many years to come. Viewing these works, one can imagine the awe Maynard Dixon felt in the raw beauty of the landscape and its inhabitants. He would return to Arizona many times, ultimately making Tucson his final home.
The Arizona paintings represent the entire gamut of painting styles Maynard Dixon utilized during his productive career. Heavy impasto and bold colors are typical of his work in the teens. Many of these canvases depict real places and people that Dixon experienced between 1914, and 1916. By the twenties, Maynard Dixon expanded his technique, experimenting with both post-Impressionism, and Cubism. Surrounded by the landscape and people of Southern Arizona in the final years of his life, Maynard Dixon created works with a sparing use of paint and subdued color scheme. Paintings utilizing Maynard Dixon's powerful command of light and shadow are often considered quintessential Dixon works.
Although Maynard Dixon called California home for most of his life, this state was inspiration for only a fraction of the work he produced. Many California paintings were done around his boyhood home of Refuge in the San Joaquin Valley; although many of these works look as if they could have been painted anywhere in the Southwest. Like the majority of Maynard Dixon's work, the California paintings primarily depict remote, desert landscapes.
Nevada could have easily claimed Maynard Dixon as one of it's own. If not for the cool weather and high altitude of Carson City, Maynard Dixon might well have spent his last years there instead of Tucson. Many of his strongest canvases resulted from the places he visited in Nevada during the 1920's and 30's. One of his favorite and frequent subjects were the trees that prominently dotted this Southwestern terrain. In addition, some of Maynard Dixon's finest desert landscapes stem from his time in Nevada.
Utah was a favorite place of Maynard Dixon's; he loved the light and found the Mormon people gracious and kind. In a Christmas card to his good friend Joe, Maynard Dixon wrote, "Many times I wanted to write you, but struggle for health takes a lot out of me. Big news is we are going to quit Calif. & build us a log house in Utah, far from any large town. Mormons are simple honest farming people. We like them. Beautiful country, but cold in winter. Don't know if we can make a living there, but take a gamblers chance.
The people Maynard Dixon depicted in his paintings reflect the cultural mix of the American West of the early 20th century. Maynard Dixon was delighted to live among all the peoples of the region, and his portrayals of the Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo inhabitants are without comparison. Maynard Dixon also used the human form to allude to more ethereal subjects. Some of his most poignant and gripping works were the handful of Great Depression-era paintings done in 1934 and 1935. Maynard Dixon's wife, famed photographer Dorothea Lange, was devoted to chronicling the plight of the migrant workers and the San Francisco maritime worker's strike. Her involvement undoubtedly influenced Maynard Dixon's choice of this atypical subject matter. The images of expressionless men done in somber grays and blues show skillful use of light and shadow to accentuate the distress in the subjects he portrayed.

Bowleven shares up on Cameroon find
Oil explorer Bowleven's share price climbed by more than 5% after the company said it had encountered "liquids-rich" hydrocarbons off Cameroon.
The Africa-focused firm made the find while drilling at its IM-5 well under the Etinde permit.
A testing programme is being carried out to evaluate the discovery.
Bowleven holds significant stakes in onshore and offshore exploration acreage in Cameroon.
The Edinburgh-based company holds a 75% interest in the Etinde Permit, which is located across the Rio del Rey and Douala basins.
It also holds a 100% stake in the Bomono Permit, which is based in the Douala Basin.
Bowleven chief executive Kevin Hart said: "You never quite know what you have got until you get all the information finally in and correlated.
"But I suspect it is probably the best well we have drilled in the seven years we have been active."
In November, Bowleven and Petrofac announced a strategic alliance to help "unlock the potential" of operations in Cameroon.
Under the arrangement, Petrofac will invest up to $500m to develop the Etinde assets.

Watch: Keith Urban's Cologne Commercials!
What is that smell?
It's "Phoenix" –from Country megastar Keith Urban!
Keith announced the release of the fragrance (like a new album) in early October.
You may have seen his "mock' commercial on Ellen..
But the official commercials are out… and they will… change your life.
OK. Not really.
But they're fun!
Have a look!
So, he didn't want to name it after himself, because that would be weird.
So the cologne is called "Phonenix"
However, what IS kind of weird….are the outtakes from his 'commerical' for Phonenix with Ellen:
I'm guessing a lot of ladies were fuming with jealousy for Ellen that afternoon.
I saw in USA TODAY that Keith was inspired for the fragrance… by his father:
He was quite an aesthete. He always smelled good and had good clothes. He had an appreciation for the senses."
I don't know what "aesthete" even means. It must be Australian for 'cowboyish' or something.
So here come the new commericals– three. Seems like a lot.. with more to come- details on that to follow.
Let's start with the one titled "Phone Call" :
That is some POWERFUL stuff. OVER THE PHONE it gets to her.
I'm already in.
But there's two more to go.
Next up– "Magic Bottle":
Not my favorite. No girls. Moving on….
It's the ol' one-two sucker punch. You think he's going to get protection, but the quickie mart ALSO sells- "Phoenix". Well played.
I guess that I, myself, am sticking with "Phone Call" as my favorite. What do you think?
How about this– you create YOUR OWN commercial for "Phoenix"!
Keith has teamed up with PEOPLE for a contest where fans can make commercials, and in early November, one will be chosen with a prize pack that includes..
tickets and airfare to a Keith Urban concert in 2012 and a PHOENIX gift pack including cologne, after shave, body wash and wrist watch.
"A wrist watch". C'mon! Now I HAVE to go to the mall.. look all around for the Phoenix wrist watch…
You know this stuff don't come cheap either…I would enter the contest!
Let's blow the wheels of this post.. and finish with one of my favorite Keith Urban videos!

Korres Natural Products Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream Reviews
THICKThere are a lot of good things about this sunscreen: it smells yummy (no sunscreen smell), it absorbs quickly, and it is matte. The downside is that it is extremely thick and tacky, a problem that is mitigated by its quick absorption. Because it is so thick, I wish it were more moisturizing so I wouldn't have to layer it with moisturizer. — 8 years, 5 months agoteshie | 396 reviews
Sufficient, watermelon bubblegum-scented, sun protectionThis sunscreen, which has a matte finish, offers excellent protection against both UVB and UVA rays. As others have pointed out, it is tacky and it does not spread easily. I had to really rub it into my face to ensure that I was fully covered. (As a side note, be sure to layer this over a moisturizer if you have dry skin.) The cream absorbs quickly, however, and the titanium dioxide did not le...read moreave a whitish cast to my skin. The sweet, watermelon scent is lovely, but be prepared for the people around you sniffing the air. — 8 years, 4 months agoMuffinMcG | 15 reviews
VERY NICEIn the same day I returned ojon hydrating shampoo and conditioning, I wanted to return this spf 30 oil free but the lady in sephora told me to give it a try since I hadn't use it yet. I am glad that I did. BUT IF YOU'RE A BIT DRY USE A MOISTURIZE UNDER IT. I LOVE THE LOOK — 8 years, 9 months agobeauty_fab | 16 reviews
I love this sunscreenI have very sensitive skin and I am light comlplected, so I always try to wear sunscreen on my face, This stuff smells awesome and it doesn't make me breakout! — 9 years, 2 months agomccool25 | 1 reviews
Problematic TextureIt smells good, but is too thick and tacky. Maybe for an intense sun and swim situation, but not for everyday. It kept collecting tiny pieces of lint and dust from the air! — 9 years, 5 months agomilkweed1972 | 16 reviews
Yummiest Smelling Sunscreen I've Come AcrossI got this as a free sample at Sephora and like it. It smells like real watermelon, not fake watermelon trying to cover chemical smell. The only complaint I have is that it really is pasty (hello, it IS spf *30*). This left a white pasty look to my darker (Halle Berry-ish) skin tone. But I am satisfied with it as a sunscreen. — 9 years, 5 months agoHelloKittyFan | 24 reviews

Head coach Al Golden's first recruiting class features several impact defensive players.
Coral Gables (February 02, 2011) — First over the fax machine was the National Letter of Intent from Rashawn Scott, a 6-2 wide receiver from Melbourne, Florida, who caught 31 touchdown passes in his senior year and still found time to dabble a bit on defense, snagging three interceptions as a safety.
Then came the letter from Phillip Dorsett, a speedster from St. Thomas Aquinas High who spurned offers from the Florida Gators, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Georgia Bulldogs to sign with his "dream school."
The sun had not quite risen on the morning of February 2, yet National Signing Day was at full throttle at the University of Miami, where signed letters of intent from high school recruits who had verbally committed to play for the 'Canes began streaming through the fax on the second floor of the Hecht Athletic Center just after 7 a.m.
New UM head football coach Al Golden and his assistant coaches were ecstatic about the signees. For the past few weeks they have been working furiously on very little sleep, traveling around the state to solidify verbal commitments and lure new recruits who hadn't considered signing with Miami. And it was a monumental task, given that Golden has been on the job for less than two months.
In that timeframe, he hired his coaching staff, reviewed reels and reels of video of potential recruits, and hit the road on recruiting trips.
"Obviously, this is an exciting day for University of Miami football and our coaching staff," Golden said at a press conference in the Edgerrin James Room. "It's the culmination of five or six weeks of intense recruiting to get to this point."
Golden said his coaching staff achieved its recruiting goals, primarily to secure a kicker and punter who will compete for starting positions and obtain depth at the linebacker, cornerback, and defensive line positions.
"It's a heavy defensive class," he said.
Among some of the other signees: Linebacker Gionni Paul from Lakeland, Florida, an ESPNU and Rivals.com three-star prospect who verbally committed to UM on January 28 after originally committing to Arizona State; linebacker Denzel Perryman from Coral Gables High, described as a punishing tackler; and defensive end Anthony Chickillo, a five-star prospect and third-generation Hurricane football player, following his father, Tony, and grandfather, Nick, who both played in the NFL.
UM signed 16 recruits as part of its 2011 class, including two early enrollees: Miami Central cornerback Thomas Finnie and Fork Union (Virginia) Military Academy defensive lineman Olsen Pierre.

text: I've gotten hold of a box of Velox 2.5" x 3" contact paper from the 1950s. I'm planning to build a pinhole to suit and use some of them for paper negatives, and likely do some creative-cropping under the enlarger with the rest. Just for a test, I stuck a sheet under a middle-of-the-road 6x6 negative on the Omega B600 at maximum height and f/11. Exposed for 10 seconds, got absolutely nothing. After a few minutes in the dev, rinsed the sheet and left it sitting out under the room light. After a few minutes I did start to get purple blotches showing up, so it's not completely dead. After a bit more reading, I see that while Velox was "fast" for a contact print film it's still far slower than modern enlarging papers. So, I'm assuming my 10s at f11 and quite a high enlargement ratio wasn't nearly enough exposure. Some of what I'm reading suggests I may need to try something on the order of a couple of minutes. I'll try again to get a bit more feel for that end of things. The major question I have, though, is about developer. Kodak recommended Dektol. I was trying the Ilford Multigrade paper dev, allegedly an equivalent to Polymax. Will this work at all? I'm not familiar enough with the chemistry to know if this developer is appropriate for a non-bromide paper. ETA: I misread the info I was looking at. Velox *develops* quickly, but was quite slow even for a contact paper--to the point that it was apparently safe to work with under dim room light. Huh. Learn something new every day.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi,Welcome to Just Answer, My name is XXXXX XXXXX forward to helping you today. lets get started.
Have you tested the heater itself for continuity with one of the wires removed from the heater? Also have you removed both wires from the heater itself and test it for 240 Volts at those two wires? You would need to unplug the dryer of course and take both wires off the heater coils and put your meter on the two wires while off the heater and put tape around so you don't ground them out and start the dryer, do you get 240 V there?

Development and evaluation of an integrated simulation model for assessing smallholder crop-livestock production in Yucatán, Mexico
Mixed farming systems constitute a large proportion of agricultural production in the tropics, and provide multiple benefits for the world's poor. However, our understanding of the functioning of these systems is limited. Modeling offers the best approach to quantify outcomes from many interacting causal variables in these systems. The objective of this study was to develop an integrated crop-livestock model to assess biophysical and economic consequences of farming practices exhibited in sheep systems of Yucatán state, Mexico. A Vensim(TM) dynamic stock-flow feedback model was developed to integrate scientific and practical knowledge of management, flock dynamics, sheep production, partitioning of nutrients, labor, and economic components. The model accesses sheep production and manure quantity and quality data generated using the Small Ruminant Nutrition System (SRNS), and interfaces on a daily basis with an Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) model that simulates weather, crop, and soil dynamics. Model evaluation indicated that the integrated model adequately represents the complex interactions that occur between farmers, crops, and livestock.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
1. Finally, a use for old potatoes: if you have added too much salt to a recipe, toss in a peeled potato while your dish is still cooking to prevent your tongue from shriveling up like a slug upon first bite. (Just don't use taters that have any green tint creeping into the flesh. That's a sure sign of the toxin solanine. Generally, solanine will not hurt you in small quantities, but just to be safe, avoid the kryptonite-hued spuds.)
2. Did you burn your finger? Immediately rub the singed spot with spicy mustard to draw out the pain. Bonus: this is a lickable solution.
3. Leftover wine? Pour the remains of the bottle into an ice cube tray, freeze, and store for future use in your drunk marinara. (Leftover wine = good problem.)
4. To remove the smell of garlic and onions from your fingers, simply run your digits along a stainless steel blade. Carefully! This won't work for your mouth.
5. To keep sliced apples and avocados from browning, drizzle with lemon or lime juice.
6. Did you catch one of those invisible hair-like splinters that rivals a paper cut for the Most Annoying Pain Possible award? Simply press a strip of tape gently to your skin. This works far better than scraping away at your skin with fingernails or tweezers.
7. Don't hatch your batch. To prevent cracked shells when making boiled eggs, simply add a pinch of salt to the water.
8. Keep tomatoes and citrus fruits like lemons far from the refrigerator for the nicest fragrance, juiciest results, and truest flavor (we're horrifying grammar teachers everywhere, as we speak. Write. Read. Surf. Arrrgh!!!). Oh: nestled in a bowl in the sun is best.
9. To clean those ever-impossible crevices in vases and pitchers, just drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, fill the item with water, and wait.
10. To prevent your eyeballs from putting on a miniature waterworks show when you are cutting up onions or shallots, simply press your tongue to the roof of your open mouth (and do not breathe through your nose).
11. Rather than taking harsh detergents to your pots and pans, scrub them clean with a dry paper towel and coarse salt. This is invaluable for cast-iron cookware.
12. To remove those fossilized food splatters in the microwave, place a water-soaked sponge inside and "cook" on high for two minutes. Leave the microwave door closed for another five minutes (you don't want to scald yourself). The steam will loosen up the food and you can easily wipe it all off without the use of chemical cleaners.
13. Fix a finger nick with clear nail polish (wait for the bleeding to stop, silly). The polish will s-t-i-n-g momentarily, but you'll have a waterproof, instant bandage that won't get in the way of your slicing and dicing…food, this time.

The whole "no crying while cutting onions thing" isn't true. The reason you cry when you cut onions is because onions contain a high amount of sulfur. When that sulfur reaches the air, it travels up to your eyes and reacts with the already-existing water, creating sulfuric acid. Your eyes well up to try and flush out the acid.
That's probably one of the few things I remember from organic chemistry in high school, but at least it's useful.
I have soggy asparagus in the fridge can I still cook it or will it poison me
Correct. When I chop onions with my contacts in, no tearing. Only when I'm wearing glasses do the onions make me cry. Has to be some reaction with the iris.
More to the point, that area with the high sulfur content on an onion comes in the form of the thin clear membrane that surrounds the first layer of the onion. For that reason, I always try to get rid of that first layer and because of it, I rarely tear up when handling onions.
You won't cry if the onion juice can't get into your eyes. Work in a draft / with a fan / by window / near exhaust fan,,,or in worse case put on goggles,wrap head with plastic wrap poking a hole in wrap to breath through. So if you have to do 10-50lb bags so be it.
Great info about the sulfur. (Which, by the way, is good for your joints/inflammation.)
Also, the tongue trick could work by causing most of the acid to form harmlessly on the bottom of your tongue instead of in your nose and eyes. However, it doesn't seem like it would be particularly effective.
If you soak the sponge with white vinegar instead of water when you're cleaning your microwave, you'll loosen the stuff faster and sanitize and deodorize at the same time.
You can use a stainless steel SPOON and avoid any possible injury! (Rinsing your hands with white vinegar seems to work to eliminate the garlic/onion smell, too.)
Have y'all discovered microfiber cleaning cloths for cleaning everything? They are amazing! especially on glass.
The very best green cleaning product I have ever found is Orange TKO! You can clean and deodorize everything (you have to be careful with plastic) with very little product. It's especially good on stainless steel, laminate (gets the stains out), and kills mold and fungus in the bathroom. You can use it as a laundry additive (infact, you can make your own really cheap laundry detergent with TKO and baking soda and/or borax. (It smells really good, too!)
The onion – the stinging stuff (whatever its chemical makeup) is in the root ball of the onion. Don't cut into it. Either cut out a cone shape (with the widest part around the root end of the onion)and remove the root ball or cut around it, but don't cut into it, that's where the sting comes from.
Works every time! I've been astonished and no more onion tears!
Just put a tooth pick in your mouth or don't breath through your nose the fumes from the onion go through your ole factory making your eyes water and please don't rub your eyes IT WILL BURN!
This was the best post!! I did not know the first one and thank you for posting it. I just bought a bag of potatoes that have greenish hue!!! out they go.
I burn a tea light while chopping onions and I also take off the top layer if they're not very new onions.
Lemon juice and salt work great on brass.
Toothpaste works great on silver.
Baking soda with vinegar can clean almost anything!
I like cleaning the microwave with vinegar too and I like cleaning the fridge with it because at least if I miss some, there's nothing toxic in my frige. Great deodorizer!
These are just some of the best tips that I ever encountered in my whole entire life. I particularly loved crazy cat lady's comment. she sounds very intelligent.
If you have an open flame near where you are cutting (a decent sized one – not a stove burner) it will keep you from tearing.
I do the microwave cleaning all the time. I like to use vinegar. To keep your avocado from turning brown leave the seed in the part you don't use or put it in the guacamole.
As far as I know, a fool proof solution to the onion crying thing is cutting them up in a tub of water. That way, the sulfur doesn't exit the water of the tub. I do that to avoid annoyance. Also, for the eggs not cracking and spilling white in the water, a bit of vinegar in the water also works.
Wow, that looks absolutely delicious! Great post, you did such a nice job presenting the pictures too…I am definitely going to have to try that recipe this weekend! Thanks!

ST. PETERSBURG — A judge has overturned a $10-million libel verdict concerning articles the St. Petersburg Times wrote in 2003 about the former chief of medicine at Bay Pines VA Medical Center.
In a terse two-page ruling, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Anthony Rondolino wrote this week that evidence in the case was "insufficient to cross the threshold required by the First Amendment."
Rondolino also was the trial judge.
"We are extremely pleased," said attorney Alison Steele, who represented the Times. She said she was "most thrilled" for the editors "whose judgments and decisionmaking are vindicated."
"Despite the jury's verdict, we remained confident in the work and expected to eventually reach this result," said Times chairman and CEO Paul C. Tash. "But of course we're glad that we arrived here sooner rather than later."
The articles focused on Dr. Harold L. Kennedy and his reassignment from chief of medicine to his subspecialty of cardiology at the VA.
Kennedy's attorney Timothy Weber said his client intends to appeal.
"Dr. Kennedy is going to continue to fight on for his good name," he said. Weber said the case would be appealed to a three-judge panel on the 2nd District Court of Appeal, and "they're going to find plenty of evidence of malice" on the part of the Times.
The articles were written by Paul de la Garza, who died of a heart attack in 2006.
Steele acknowledged that it's unusual for judges to overturn verdicts in most civil cases. But it's much more common in libel cases, she said. That's because the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and of the press. In a case like this one, Kennedy needed to prove not only that the articles were false, but that the Times demonstrated "actual malice."
The plaintiffs argued that portions of the articles were untrue, and that the Times knew or should have known they were untrue. Weber noted on Friday that the judge did not specifically say whether he believed the articles were true.
The Times argued at trial, and in its motion to the judge, that the articles were accurate.

You would be hard-pressed to find many people who don't want to move to an island paradise. If you're moving to Hawaii, get ready for a life of relaxation and spectacular scenery. Hawaii is known for a laid-back lifestyle, beautiful scenery, and endless opportunities for fun. Here's even more reasons why you'll enjoy living in Hawaii, along with some information about Hawaii moving companies.
The state of Hawaii is made up of 6 major islands, each with their own nickname:
It will be hard to decide which island you should choose to move to, as they are all great for different reasons. Once you choose an island to live on, you can visit the other islands to explore all that Hawaii has to offer.
With summer highs in the upper 80s during the day and mid-70s at night, you'll never want to go anywhere else. Hawaii is known for two seasons: the dry season from May to October, and the wet season from November to April. Although snow is not associated with the tropical climate, you will see it on the mountains of the Big Island during the winter months. Locals like to drive to the top of the mountain to play in the snow, then go swim at the beach after building a snowman. The Hawaii weather provides you with year-round fun in the sun!
Native Hawaiians are some of the friendliest people you'll meet. They take pride in their state and will welcome you with open arms. Locals call themselves Kama'aina (ka-ma-eye-nah) which means someone who has lived in Hawaii a long time. As a newcomer, you will be a malihini (mal-li-hee-knee).You'll hear the local language spoken around the islands. The Hawaiian alphabet only has 12 letters (7 consonants and 5 vowels- H, K, L, M, N, P, W, A, E, I, O and U). A Hawaiian pocket dictionary might be a good purchase so you can decipher the local speak.
Life in Hawaii is slow, and locals like it that way. A dentist appointment might be made in a month. Getting a contractor to come out to your house to give you an estimate might take 2 days. You'll learn to drive slower, too. Many residents of the state love to cruise the coastline at 35 mpg just to enjoy the beautiful views. Island life just runs on a different time!
When you're tired of lying out in the sun, get into the water! Water sports are a big part of Hawaiian culture. You can enjoy windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, and scuba diving! There's so much to do in the water, you'll want to be there every day! If you prefer the mountains, many of the islands offer hiking on mountain tops as well. If shopping is more your thing, Oahu and Maui have quite the shopping districts.
The cost of living in Hawaii may be high, but you can move there affordably with U-Pack Moving, a "you pack, they drive" moving service. Here's how it works:
It's really simple to move to Hawaii with U-Pack, and you'll find it likely to be more affordable and faster than traditional full-service movers. Whether your move is large or small, we can handle it.
Get a free moving quote now and see how much your move to Hawaii will be with U-Pack Moving®! Then, compare it with other moving companies in Hawaii.

Heo Young Saeng, who is about to make his solo comeback, has just unveiled several teaser photos under the names of "Orange", "Black & White", "Blue", "Red", and "Yellow" through his agency's official Twitter!
The SS501 member definitely takes on a more upbeat and colorful image this time around compared to his previous release, which does seem a bit odd, considering that he gets captured by a crazy fan in his music video teasers!
As mentioned earlier, the singer will be releasing his third mini album 'Life' on White Day (March 14th) as a special treat for all his awaiting fans, so stay tuned!

Winger Mike Knuble, 40 years old on July 4, wants to continue his career. That's not going to happen with the Washington Capitals.
GM George McPhee told Knuble the team isn't interested in re-signing him once he hits unrestricted free agency on July 1, Knuble told The Washington Post.
After playing a top-six role in his first two seasons, Knuble was demoted to a fourth-line role this past season. He had six goals and 12 assists in the regular season, marking the first time since 2001-02 he didn't score at least 20 goals. He had two goals and an assist in 11 playoff games.
"I don't think it was unexpected, the way things went this season," Knuble said. "There are younger guys stepping up, and those guys will need a spot to play and a chance to play. ... It's really the first time in my career that I've been told by a team they don't want me back, but it's not like I was blindsided."
Washington, after firing coach Bruce Boudreau midseason, reinvented itself under Dale Hunter as a defense-first team and pushed the New York Rangers to a Game 7 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series. They came up short, though, and could look significantly different next season. Hunter opted to return to Canada, his family and the junior team he owns, and winger Alexander Semin is unlikely to return.
Knuble, an alternate captain who served as a voice of reason and stability in the locker room, said his only regret is he didn't win with the team.
"I look back on it as it being a great place to play, a great stop for me," Knuble said. "I think I had two very successful years here, and I think I made a very positive impression on my teammates and the city. You hope that you left a little bit of a mark; you hope they have good thoughts pop in their head about how you treated people, how you behaved and how you played."

My First Rabbit Vibrator Facts
Understanding Sound and Vibration
Here at Vibrators.com, we test each and every vibrator for vibration and sound levels. Our Vibrator Institute doesn't test vibrators the way you might think; instead, we use scientific equipment that reads vibration and decibel levels. Based on these levels, each vibrator we sell gets a rating. The Power Level ratings are Gentle, Pleasurable, Intense and Unrelenting. The Sound Level ratings are Whisper, Purr, Hum, Buzz and Thundering. The My First Rabbit Vibrator has a rating of Pleasurable Hum. This means it vibrates at a medium speed, and a medium noise level.
If we don't like the look, feel, sound or vibration level of a sex toy, we don't sell it. That's why Vibrators.com only sells about 300 vibrators. There are tens of thousands of vibrators on the market, and that's a lot for a customer to wade through. We offer only the best vibrators, so you can choose the best vibrator for you in the easiest way possible.

(This part is played during Verses 1,2 and during chorus)
(Lyrics) Usher - You Make Me Wanna..
You make me wanna leave the one I'm with,
Start a new relationship with you,
This is what you do,
Thinking 'bout the ring and all the things that come along,
When you make me, you make me....
Before anything came between us she was like my best friend,
The one I used to run and talk to when me and my girl was having
She used to say it'll be okay,
Suggest little nice things I should do,
And when I go home at night and lay my head down,
All I seem to think about was you,
How you make me wanna,
Now what's bad,
Is you're the one that hooked us up,
Knowing it shoulda been you,
What's sad is that I love her but I'm falling for you,
What should I do,
Should I,
Tell my baby bye bye,
Should I,
Do exactly what I feel inside
Could I,
I don't wanna go,
I don't need to stay,
But I really need to get it together
At this point,
The situtation's outta control,
I never meant to hurt her,
But I gotta let her go,
And she,
May not understand it,
Why all of this is going on,
I tried,
I tried to fight it,
But the feelings just to strong,
You make me,
Make me.....
****(Chorus 3x)****
*That's all there is.. its pretty simple! Let me know if anyone gets the
rest of it or come up any other R&B tabs (e-mail above).
Usher- "you make me wanna"
this sounds pretty close to me. i dont have the cd so im doing this from
may be in the wrong key though.

Solinsky will consult with Jerry Schumacher, his coach at the University of Wisconsin and as a professional runner, via phone and email. "He's been my mentor and coach for the last 12 years. That's going to be a relationship that continues," Solinsky said. Among Solinsky's long-time training partners under Schumacher have been two-time Olympian Matt Tegenkamp and American steeplechase record holder Evan Jager.
A five-time NCAA champion in cross country and track, Solinsky is second on the all-time U.S. lists at 5000 meters (12:55.33) and 10,000 meters (26:59.50). He ran both times in his best year, 2010.
In preparation for the 2011 season, Solinsky started training even harder, and injured his left hamstring. In September 2011, he had surgery to reattach hamstring tendons to his pelvis. His race results since have not approached his previous level. Last weekend, at Maine's Beach to Beacon 10K, Solinsky was 14th in 30:02. In the photo above, shot near the 5-mile mark of Beach to Beacon, the lasting effect of surgery is visible in Solinsky's upper left leg.
Solinksy had planned to make his marathon debut, but now won't.
"It's not off permanently but it's off for this fall," Solinsky said. "I kind of hit the wall physically. I'll be doing Falmouth [Road Race] next weekend, but that most likely will be the end of my season because my body's so tired and needs a little bit of a break. I'd still like to do a spring or fall marathon this coming year. But I didn't want to go into a marathon already run down.
"Obviously, the last few years haven't been what I wanted out of my career," Solinsky said. "My wife and I decided it was time a change and time to embark on a new adventure. Maybe this could be good for me professionally and athletically, and a good new start and a change for her as well." Amy Solinsky is a veterinary technician who will continue that career in Williamsburg.
Training in Virginia will be "mostly on my own, and obviously I'll run with the guys on the team when it works out," Solinsky said. "But I've always been really good at training on my own. It helps me listen to my body a little bit better when I'm on my own."
Solinsky's contract with Nike is up at the end of the year.
"I do and I don't" have concerns about its renewal, Solinsky said. "With as much sweat and tears as I've put into the last two or three years, I haven't quite held up my end of the bargain. I've had conversations with them and I feel pretty optimistic about it. It'll probably be at a different level, but that's understandable."

GOP ads target Boyd, Grayson, Kosmas on health care
In a sign of things to come, the Republican National Committee today announced it is running radio ads against Florida Reps. Allen Boyd, Alan Grayson and Suzanne Kosmas. The topic: health care reform.
"Most Americans agree," the ad states, "it's time to take action to reform our healthcare system. But the dangerous experiment President Obama and the Democrats in Congress want just can't be the right answer." The announcer urges listeners to call the lawmakers and tell them "to say no to this dangerous experiment." (full script in jump)
The 60-second spot, which began over the weekend, does not point out that the lawmakers themselves are squeamish about the current proposals. Boyd, a member of the moderate Blue Dog coalition, and Kosmas, have expressed unease with the current plan, reflecting the politics of their districts. Kosmas and Grayson are trying to stave off attack for having taken incumbent GOP seats.
Time: 00:60
Voice: "Most Americans agree. It's time to take action to reform our health care system. But the dangerous experiment President Obama and the Democrats in Congress want just can't be the right answer. The question is what [Congressman/Congresswoman Boyd/Grayson/Kosmas] will do."
Voice: "Look at their record. The stimulus package cost us hundreds of billions without creating new jobs. The national debt has more than doubled."
Voice: "If Barack Obama and the Democrats get their way, the Federal Government will make the decisions about your health care. And, their plan costs a trillion dollars we don't have. You have to pay a new tax to keep your private insurance. It's too much, too fast."
Voice: "Call [Congressman/Congresswoman Boyd/Grayson/Kosmas] at (202) 225-3121, that's (202) 225-3121 and tell him/her to say no to this dangerous experiment."

CANONSBURG – Only in Josh Wise's world does a 16-point game translate into a sleepless night.
Despite helping the Wash High boys basketball team to a 24-point win over Saltsburg in the first round of the EQT Energy Classic Friday night, Wise wasn't happy with how he shot the ball and couldn't wait to make amends for what he felt was a less-than-desirable performance.
Wise shouldn't be nearly as annoyed after this one.
The 6-2 senior guard scored seven of the Prexies' 11 first-quarter points, made all 15 of his free throws and finished with 30 points to carry Wash High to a 64-54 win over Pikeville (Ky.) Saturday at Canon-McMillan High School.
"I didn't shoot the ball very well (Friday), so I couldn't wait for pregame," Wise said. "I felt pretty good. I used those (early) shots to get my confidence going. Fortunately I got to the free throw line, so if my shot was off, I had a chance to get my rhythm back."
The win puts Wash High (2-0) in today's (8 p.m.) championship game.
Besides Wise, Billy Edwards and Jaylin Kelly had 12 points apiece. Pikeville got 19 points from guard Chase Rowe.
Leading by one after three quarters, Wash High pulled away by scoring 20 of its 29 points in the fourth quarter on free throws.
It also navigated a physical final frame, one that got so testy that Pikeville coach Bart Williams was assessed a technical foul for kicking the front of the scorer's table.
"The thing I was proud of there at the end was that we had a little bit of a lead and it started getting competitive there at the end, a little heated," Wash High coach Mark Gaither said. "Our guys kept their composure, kept their mouths zipped, didn't let emotion get the best of them."
Wash High forward got the best of 6-8 Pikeville center Ray Kasongo, holding him to just five points and zero field goals, though Kasongo, who's being recruited by USC and DePaul, did block eight shots and pull down seven rebounds.
"We played with a lot of heart, excitement and energy," Kelly said. "Our big man, Jordan Drew, he played tough on that 6-8 guy."
Wash High stretched a two-point lead to 50-41 after a 9-2 run that ended with a one-handed dunk from Drew, who finished with six points.
Pikeville drew to within five at 55-50, but Wise made all eight of his free throws over the final 90 seconds to seal the win.
"We know it's going to come down to that," Wise said. "That's something that we stress. We stay and shoot free, and (Gaither) makes us. You miss, you run. In this case, if you miss, you lose."
Wash High trailed, 13-11, after the first quarter, despite a long jumper, a nifty baseline layup and a 3-pointer from Wise, who finished with seven points in the period.
The Prexies took a 23-20 lead on a behind-the-back layup from Wise at 1:59 of the second period, but Pikeville responded with seven consecutive points, including five free throws from freshman guard Ryder Johnson, before Edwards made a 3-pointer with less than a second before halftime.
Wash High was behind, 27-26, at halftime, but Kelly had seven of his 12 points in the third quarter as the Prexies took a one-point lead entering the fourth.
"We have a veteran bunch, a lot of seniors," said Gaither, who returned all five starters from last year's team. "I don't know if this was a game we could've won last year, but the guys have really grown. We learned how to win games like this last year."

'The response to the upcoming banquet has been great," BWAA President Jack Hirsch said. "By now people understand that the BWAA dinner serves as the Academy Awards of our sport. We have an exceptional list of honorees, but our list of presenters is awesome as well. That will be made public before the dinner. Everyone attending the dinner receives a gift bag which has a total value close to the price of the dinner ticket. From a social perspective, the annual BWAA dinner is by far our sports best social evening of the year. We always sell out in New York.

Wife wanted one.....first attempt
Hey, that's pretty good....I'd hate to see how I would have done! I see how you got your name.
Thanks...never tried anything like this before.....a freind saw one at the Big Eastern States Fair, made one for his Wife, so of course, my Wife wanted one too....sheesh....the Wife just got done painting it Pumpkin Orange (surprise there), and is gonna use a wood stain on the stem
Very nice Beer Belly, what type of wood did you use?
Poplar I picked up a couple of weeks ago from a weekend of failure on scrounging wood (previuos post)
As soon as she applies the stain, I'll get pictures of the finished product
Might have to try that belly as there was no rain over here this year and those orange guys just didnt make it
Looks great man
Hey - whats the deal with trying to sneak that pepsi can into the photo.
Or maybe thats Miller light??
Beer Belly, that's very cool. There's a couple huge Poplar at my SIL's that I could do that with.
Not that I will, of course.....but I could.

THE Hobbit is making film fans feel queasy because of its dizzying, double-speed 3D technology.
The adventures of Bilbo Baggins, starring Martin Freeman, were shot at twice the speed of normal movies, with a dazzling 48 frames per second. But some viewers claim it's bad for their "elf".
Fans likened watching the Peter Jackson blockbuster to taking a rollercoaster ride, with one warning: "This is not for wimps."
The film, the first of a trilogy set before the events in the hit Lord Of The Rings series, is out here next week but audiences at the New Zealand premiere have posted their views online.
One fan tweeted: "I left loving the movie but feeling sick." Another said: "My eyes cannot take everything in, it's dizzying. Now I have a migraine." But the fan added: "Can't wait to see it again."
Film critics had spoken about how the upgraded technology left audiences feeling unwell.
But director Peter Jackson claims the double frame count makes the 3D effect smoother and brighter.
