Following one of the most remarkable judiciary races in State history, Edward T. Bartlett was elected Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals in November 1893 by an unprecedented 100,000 vote majority. Relatively unknown to the public, Judge Bartlett's overwhelming victory reflected the voter's indignation at the appointment of his opponent, Isaac H. Maynard (1838-1896), to the Court in the wake of Maynard's involvement in a political scandal surrounding the 1891 senatorial election in Dutchess County. Known as the "Dutchess County Steal," that issue was the focus of Bartlett's campaign and his defeat of Maynard was regarded as "a triumph for a pure judiciary." True to his modest character, however, in the days following the election, Judge-elect Bartlett declined to discuss the causes that led to his victory explaining that such a course would be "indelicate."
Edward Theodore Bartlett was born in Skaneateles (Onondaga County), New York, on June 14, 1841, the second son of Dr. Levi Bartlett (1806-1892), a prominent physician and surgeon, and Harriet Elizabeth Hopkins Bartlett. It was said, and rightfully so, that Judge Bartlett came "of the best New England stock." His great-grandfather, Dr. Josiah Bartlett (1729-1795), was a representative to the Continental Congress from New Hampshire, the second to sign the Declaration of Independence, a signer of the Articles of Confederation, a Chief Justice of the State of New Hampshire, as well as the State's first Governor. On his mother's side, he was the great-grandson of Stephen Hopkins (1707-1785) who was Governor of Rhode Island, a Chief Justice of its Superior Court, a delegate to the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Judge Bartlett received a classical education in the schools of Onondaga County, and after graduating from Union College, returned to Skaneateles to study for the practice of law. Upon his admission to the bar in 1862, he practiced in his native town for a short time before relocating to Syracuse, where he practiced until 1868. In that year, he removed to New York City where he continued to practice law with an ever-growing reputation. Shortly after arriving in New York City, he began practicing with Phillip Wilson and was the senior partner in the law firm Bartlett, Wilson & Hayden.
In 1870, he became a member of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, taking an active role in its affairs, particularly the fight to purify the judiciary in the era of the Tweed regime. For many years, Judge Bartlett was a member of the Association's Judiciary Committee and served as chairman of the Committee on Admission. Judge Bartlett was an early member of the Republican Club, becoming its president in 1888. He was also a member of the Union League Club and the newly formed New York State Bar Association.
Described as being "a life long republican, but never a politician" and "modest and self-retiring," Judge Bartlett was always content to work for his beloved Republican party without ostentation. Indeed, it was said that he neither sought nor desired public office. In 1891, however, he was persuaded to run for Justice of the Supreme Court and was defeated by Justice George L. Ingraham. In 1893, he did not seek the nomination of his party for the position of Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals; however, when the nomination was tendered, he accepted, out of a sense of duty. In November of that year, he won election to the Court and took his seat on the bench on the first of January 1894. On September 19, 1894, Judge Bartlett married Annie Richmond Platt; however, there is little record of his family life. Reelected in November 1907, Judge Bartlett was an active member of the Court until his unexpected death on May 3, 1910.
During his seventeen years on the bench, Judge Bartlett was regarded as a conscientious and devoted jurist who possessed extensive legal learning, sturdy common sense and the faculty of just perception. Always resolute in the courage of his convictions, Judge Bartlett never hesitated to dissent from the decisions of his colleagues when he was unable to agree with their conclusions. Throughout his time on the Court, Judge Bartlett authored hundreds of opinions on a myriad of issues. Containing no attempt at fine writing or the display of learning, Judge Bartlett's decisions "were noteworthy for their clear legal logic, lucidity, and fairness." The decisions in People v. Wilson, 141 NY 185 (1894), Matter of Killan, 172 NY 547 (1902), and Dowdell v. Lackawanna Steel Company, 198 NY 362 (1910) are fine examples of his judicial approach. It was said upon his death that:
[f]rom the day he took his seat on the bench to the night on which he was stricken, his life was given to the performance of the duties the people of the State had imposed upon him; these duties were his constant inspiration, and the work of the Court had his supreme and absorbing thought.
On April 29, 1910, Judge Bartlett took part in the activities of the Court, hearing argument and sitting at the consultation table, as he had so many times before. At four o'clock, he left the consultation chamber in the Capitol and went to the Albany Club to read and dine. During his dinner, Judge Bartlett suffered a slight stroke of paralysis and was taken to Albany Hospital. Although his initial prognosis was favorable - it was thought that he would be able to resume his duties in a few days - on May 3, 1910 his condition suddenly declined and he died later that evening.
The day after his unexpected death, his shocked and saddened colleagues observed:
It is difficult to give adequate expression to the shock which the members of this court experienced last evening upon learning of the unexpected death of their beloved associate Edward T. Bartlett. His illness had caused anxiety by reason of its sudden onset, but the prospect of his ultimate recovery seemed so favorable that we were utterly unprepared for the fatal outcome. Under these circumstances, we can do little more at this time than to say a few words indicative of our personal grief and sense of loss.
Two elements stood out prominently in the personality of Edward T. Bartlett to those who knew him best: In his public life, his absolute devotion to the work of his high judicial office; and among his friends the remarkable loveableness of his character. As a judge, in his attention to the arguments of counsel, his discriminating discussion and consideration of cases at the consultation table, and his promptitude and care in the preparation of the opinions assigned to him, he afforded an example worthy of the highest praise; and to these traits of judicial industry and fidelity were joined a personal attractiveness of manner and charm of demeanor that made his intercourse with associates a continual source of pleasure and satisfaction. He was a man of positive views, without narrowness or bigotry; gentle as a women, yet never lacking in strength; humorous without ever being cynical; and almost chivalrous in his ideals. He has died in harness; and assembling here to-day to proceed with the work to which he was so much attached, we cannot go on without paying this tribute to his memory.
No progeny have been identified. To this author's knowledge, Judge Bartlett was survived only by his sister Mary Bartlett Kellogg (1842-1915).

Big sister of 'Baby Hope' says she wishes she had a chance to know her
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NEW YORK – The sister of the slain girl long known as Baby Hope says she wishes she had a chance to know her sibling.
Laurencita Ramirez tells the New York Post (http://bit.ly/19JAujA ) she first found out she had a sister who was killed when she was 11 years old. She says it wasn't until last week that she heard about the "Baby Hope" case.
Police identified "Baby Hope" over the weekend as Anjelica Castillo. The 4-year-old was found stuffed in a cooler along a Manhattan highway in 1991.
Ramirez says her mother told her Anjelica would have looked just like her had she lived.
The 27-year-old Ramirez has the same nose, eyes and mouth as a police sketch of Angelica.
She says she never met Conrado Juarez, a relative charged with murder in her sister's death.

01] Josh Clark of Edmond, Oklahoma, took his Wimbledon White 1966 Mustang Fastback to the HOT ROD Power Tour® last year and says it was an experience of a lifetime. The car has a 347 stroker backed by a four-speed. 02] Mike Gulden sent us this photo of a 1949 Packard flat-towing a 1940 Chevrolet stock car to an old Minnesota race. The rig was owned by Lloyd Gulden from Montevideo, Minnesota. 03] Dave Londen owns this '71 Charger that he takes everywhere. This is Dave with Jay Leno at a local show. The car is powered by a 452 stroker and was originally gold with a green interior. We like this color combo better.
04] This is a graphic on Richard Kiser's toolbox. Richard is from Midlothian, Texas. He and his son built a 1967 Mustang and more recently a 1936 Dodge coupe. 05] During a recent trip to Desert Valley Auto Parts in Phoenix, Arizona, Duane Gunn, of Chandler, Arizona, stumbled across this pile of carburetors. Can you name them all? 06] Marc Newkirk of Hughesville, Maryland, sent us this photo of him, his grandfather, and little brother. The photo was taken in 1965. Marc was bitten by the Bug early on and says, "If you were a Beetle owner, you were also a Beetle mechanic."
07] Mark Dugally of Los Angeles built this fully functional doomsday scooter he calls Blemmye (pronounced BLEH-Me). That's Camilla Salas sitting on the scooter. We don't often say a scooter is cool, but… 08] Rob Leach, of Mica, Washington, drove his 1946 Dodge rat truck with his brother-in-law, John Spiess, from Soap Lake, Washington, to Bonneville from Spokane last year—although not with the afterburner on. 09] Tim Chavanu recently purchased this 1970 Coronet R/T 440 Six Pack. It still has its custom work from 30 years ago and has been in storage since then. We dig it. Luckily, Tim doesn't plan on changing it.
10] Patrick Renaud says he's been passing by these two cars since 1985. He says they have never moved. Hopefully they won't rot away. 11] Carl Feague (CarlFeague.com) shot this detail of his 1973 C10. 12] Gary Kollofski, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is famed for his black 1955 featured in HRM in 1977. These days, he's building a 1955 Chevy two-door with an all-aluminum V12 and a bunch of modifications. We can't wait to see the finished product. This is one half of the custom headers that make the big V12 fit under the Chevy hood.
13] Greg and Rebecca Stokes of Auckland, New Zealand, spent some time in the States to attend the famed hot rod builder Andy Brizio's event, Andy's Picnic. Later, Andy's son, Roy, travelled to New Zealand, where Greg let him take out his 383-powered 1932 Roadster. That's Roy slamming gears in Greg's Roadster. 14] Jack McWilliams Jr. of Highland Village, Texas, owns this 1967 Pontiac LeMans. After Jack worked for two years in his garage to restore it, his daughter, Janel Eichhorn of Corinth, Texas, used it in her wedding.

Author Notes: Here in Maryland we are getting the very first Eastern Shore silver queen corn. It is unbelievably sweet. My husband and I have a long running argument over which is sweeter: Eastern shore or Long Island sweet corn? Well, since we are in Maryland - Eastern shore corn rules our house. I've tried about every different way to make corn the best: roasting, boiling, grilling, raw, etc.
To me - a simple saute of the freshest kernels is the most sweet, simple, beautiful side you can have in the summer. Melt some good salted butter, saute just to heat the corn through - top with basil. Summer in on a plate. —meganvt01
Serves: 4
cobs of Eastern Shore silver queen corn (or your freshest local variety - in season)
tablespoons salted butter
big basil leaves, chiffonade
salt and pepper
- Cut the corn off the cob.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and saute just until heated through - but not cooked - about 4 - 6 minutes.
- Off the heat add the basil and season with salt and pepper.

Independence for India
June 21, 1947
The simultaneous announcement in London and New Delhi on June 3 of a plan acceptable to all parties for the transfer of power to Indian hands has resolved, by a masterly compromise, the hitherto insoluble problem of Indian independence. Great Britain had announced last February that she intended to end her responsibility in India by June, 1948 and has now given practical proof that India has complete freedom to govern herself. The Hindu Congress Party, representing over two hundred million of the population, has reluctantly yielded its position for a united India and agreed to the creation of Pakistan, an independent and sovereign Moslem state. The Moslem League, with over ninety million adherents, while winning its long and intransigent fight for partition, has consented to the partition of Bengal and the Punjab, which up to now it has insisted should be incorporated into Pakistan. The surprise move, which brought great satisfaction to the English people generally, has been the offer of dominion status to the new states of Pakistan and Hindustan. This will be made effective by the middle of August. This offer was introduced as a means of speeding up the transfer of power, but once the British have definitively moved out of India, the new states will be free to withdraw from the Commonwealth if they so wish.
This brilliant solution of the Indian political crisis is but the first step. There remains the immediate task of arranging for the mixed provinces of Bengal, the Punjab, Baluchistan, the Northwest Frontier and the Sylhet District of Assam to decide by vote which of the two states they will join. The 500-odd Princely States are left free to form an independent union or to join one of the new states. There is the further long-range task of framing constitutions and creating competent political machinery for self-government. The magnitude of the problem arises from the fact that India is a subcontinent with over 400 million people of different races and religions, who for the first time will be governing themselves without British aid. It will be the greatest democratic experiment in history. Already Mohammed Ali Jinnah, leader of the Moslem League, has pledged protection to minority groups in Pakistan without distinction of caste, creed or sect. Recently, too, the predominantly Hindu Constituent Assembly of the current Interim Government (from which the Moslem League has abstained) abolished untouchability in any form. It seems quite evident, however, that Moslem Pakistan will enter the political orbit of the Islamic world. It was on this ground that Indian Communists opposed partition, seeing in it a plan to unite the Moslem nations of the Near and Far East against the Soviet Union, which is separated from India only by the weak nation of Afghanistan. India faces a long, hard road, and on her fate will depend in great measure the stability of the Far East.
Future of the Church in India
July 5, 1947
With the granting of Dominion status to the new states of Hindustan and Pakistan, the Church in India will enter upon a new era. Many Catholic leaders there take an optimistic view of the future, without, however, minimizing the difficulties that lie ahead in the transition period. Catholics at present number close to five million, about one-eightieth of the population, but the conversions have been almost entirely from the aborigines and outcastes. The Hindu castes and the Moslems have barely been touched, since the Hindu loses caste on becoming a Christian, while the Moslem everywhere has been slow to accept Christianity. Furthermore, with the rise of national feeling, the Hindu Congress Party has endeavored to intensify the Hindu religion as a basis of political unity, associating Christianity with western rule and culture. With the departure of the British, however, the predominantly native clergy and sisterhoods and the supra-national character of the gospel will do much to dispel this fear. The Church faces another obstacle in the fact that its members, for the most part, are scattered in pockets throughout the vast subcontinent and are further divided by racial differences. To meet the situation, the hierarchy in 1944 formed the Catholic Bishops Committee of India for achieving unity of action on a nation-wide scale, along the lines NCWC in this country. It has also given a strong impetus to the Catholic Action movement among its laity. The immediate concern of the Church is to secure protection for the rights of religious minorities in the new constitutions. The prospect is favorable, since each of the new states will have within its borders strong minority groups which will insist on constitutional safeguards for their rights.
Indian independence
July 26, 1947
With the appearance of this issue, the Indian independence bill will have passed through the British Parliament, authorizing the formation on August 15 of two new Dominions: the Indian Union (mostly Hindu), with Viscount Mountbatten as Governor General; and Pakistan (mostly Moslem), with Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the president of the Moslem League, as Governor General. Thus will Indias long struggle for independence reach fruition. But the situation is far from promising. While partition was the only solution to a hopeless and critical deadlock, it has left India in a weakened condition. Pakistan, for example, will comprise two territories which are separated by over a thousand miles. On the other hand, five of the largest Princely States seem bent on declaring their independence and will thus form pockets within the territory of the Indian Union. Furthermore, with the departure of the British, the Army and civil administration will lose a large percentage of its experienced top officials. These services, in addition, must be divided between the two dominions according to Hindu and Moslem affiliation, a division which will leave both parts unbalanced and inadequate. The situation, however, was inevitable. England could no longer bear the burdens of empire, and was just as anxious as were the Indians for her withdrawal. The Hindu Congress Party and the Moslem League, up to the present, have whipped unity into their forces by their opposition to the British and to one another. It now remains to be seen whether they can unite the divergent forces within their respective parties to build a stable government and construct a positive economic program. The test of their democracy will lie in the fate of the millions of Indians who are incredibly poor and periodically decimated by famine. The riots, pillaging and arson, which have resulted in thousands of deaths and wholesale destruction of property since last August, rose ostensibly from Hindu-Moslem antagonism, but their deep-seated cause is economic misery and unrest.
India in transition
August 30, 1947
The captains and the kings depart, but the tumult and the shouting have not died, in India. The first days of freedom are clouded with the smoke of burning homes as Hindu and Moslem fight and die in the streets of Indias cities. This is tragic, but understandable; it is the almost inevitable concomitant of a revolution. During the revolution, the leaders have to set their aims high. Bargaining with a superior power, they are cer¬tain to have to compromise. In the meantime, they must unite their people behind them in asking for the maxi• mum. When the settlement comes, there are those who, not having the responsibility of achieving some kind of agreement, will look on all compromise as betrayal. In India, the long and bitter struggle between Moslem and Hindu has aroused passions that will not easily die down. Moslem minorities in the Dominion of India, and Hindu and Sikh minorities in Pakistan find themselves isolated amidst a hostile population. Pandit Nehru and Mohammed Ali Jinnah are united in the effort to reo store peace. Mohandas Gandhi, with characteristic courage, took up his residence in the ravaged Moslem quarter of Calcutta, and faced down the Hindu youths who were seeking Moslem blood. "It is not me but my corpse that will be taken out of here," he said. And Nehru, broadcasting to the people, urged a cancellation of the past: "It would serve little purpose to go into this long story. We began our new life from August 15." There is no reason to despair of India or Pakistan; they would Dot have come into existence had there Dot been those among their people who know the need and the ways of freedom.

A$AP Rocky Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
As forecasted a week ago, rapper A$AP Rocky bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with his debut album "Long.Live.A$AP," selling 139,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"Long.Live.A$AP" is the first debut album to hit No. 1 since fellow rapper 2 Chainz's "Based On a T.R.U. Story" opened atop the Sept. 1, 2012 list. (Though, 2 Chainz had released two earlier charting sets as part of the hip-hop duo Playaz Circle.)
A$AP Rocky's set is currently enjoying a top five hit single on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with "F**kin' Problems" (featuring Drake, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar). So far, the song has sold 854,000 downloads.
A$AP Rocky's first taste of a Billboard chart came barely more than a year ago, when he was the featured guest on a remix of Rihanna's song "Cockiness (Love It)." The tune spent four weeks on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs sales chart, beginning on Dec. 10, 2011. The remix has shifted 54,000 downloads -- 19% of the song's overall sales.

Talk about seeing the collision before it happens. A big bang is shaping up inside financial institutions where on one side are skeptics about biometrics used in lieu of passwords – be it voice or eye print or fingerprint – and on the other side are increasing numbers of senior executives as well as plain customers who frankly despair about how unreliable, indeed broken, the old fashioned username/password has become.
Many experts say the username/password login dates back 50 years, to the early days of mainframe computers.
The problem with username/password is twofold. Strong ones are tough to remember and easy to forget. They also – increasingly – are stolen, usually by hackers who break into a system and steal literally hundreds of thousands of them.
But the final problem – the issue that is pushing a hard look at usernames/passwords back into focus – is the near impossibility of properly entering them on a mobile device.
Try to correctly type this on a smartphone: $1033_3rd_#206$. It's a beautifully strong password – mixing letters with numbers with other characters – but it is not a password you want to attempt on an iPhone.
That is forcing eyes to look afresh at biometrics and, word from industry leaders, is that the reliability is soaring just as ease of use also is increasing. Already, most of the leading financial institutions have pilots involving biometric logins, often only involving employees at this stage.
But the reality is: if the username/password login is broken, something has to replace it and the best bet appears to be a biometric, mainly because that is something we always have with us. The other plus: most of the leading biometric tools revolve around harnessing the smartphone as a delivery mechanism and the phone of course also is something we almost always have.
"Biometrics are better than user ID and password. They test who you are," said Charles Foley, CEO of Watchful Software, a biometrics company, in an interview.
Where the confusion thickens is that, frankly, right now there is no clear leader in the race to biometric dominance.
The eye is what Toby Rush, CEO EyeVerify, said is the tool to beat. His system –which revolves around a short video of the eye, taken with the tools built into any newer smartphone – "involves using nothing special. You have your eye and you have the phone," said Rush.
Rush said EyeVerify already is in pilots with several banks and "soon" will go into pilots with a few credit unions – he declined to name names.
What about the user who is suffering a horrendous allergic attack, or who maybe just is suffering a terrible hangover, and whose eyes are patches of red? Rush said that would not impact the eye print identification – "we look at the big blood vessels, not the small capillaries."
But he also said that any implementation would build in alternative login avenues for use if eye printing failed for any reason (maybe the phone camera simply broke). "That won't be a problem for us," said Rush, who predicted that "next year you will see mass adoption of eye prints."
Voice is what Joram Borenstein, an executive with NICE Actimize, said will be the breakthrough biometric. The advantages: you (almost) always have your voice with you and it is natural with a phone.
"Voice is getting lots of consideration right now," said Borenstein.
"Voice print technology has gotten much better – faster to process, more reliable – in just the last 18 months," said Borenstein.
Cellular networks also keep getting better and smartphones are making substantial progress in canceling out extraneous noises (sounds of traffic, wind, or maybe just the din in a bustling coffee shop).
The main hurdle: "People don't like the enrollment process," admitted Borenstein.
Usually that consists of reading a series of frequently nonsensical words or numbers or both – the idea is to get lots of sounds.
Note: success generally is higher in using voice to authenticate identity (as a password substitute) than using it to drive transactions. In the former the system just has to know who is calling. In the latter it has to understand the difference between "pay PGE" and "pay PSEG" and that is not an easy problem.
The authentication piece is gaining fans, fast, however. Already, said Borenstein, some banks "are embedding voice authentication into their apps."
Watch for more and bigger voice pilots soon.
Further out is what Foley called "next-generation biometrics. Software based. Call this e-biometrics."
He gave this illustration: "There's a science of keystroke dynamics that can be used to set a biometric marker. Typing is learned. Everybody types differently. There is for instance dwell time – how many microseconds your finger is pressing on the key. There also is flight time – how fast you move from one key to another."
Collect the data involved in typing – which could be on glass, it does not necessarily involve a physical keyboard – and, said Foley, a biometric that is every bit as accurate and reliable as a fingerprint can be established. "These biometrics will be based on knowing things about the individual user."
In Foley's opinion, we are much more likely to readily accept e-biometrics – which simply measure what we already do – than we are other biometrics which at least in some corners still are looked at as invasive.
"Over the next 10 years you will see rapid ramp up of e-biometrics," predicted Foley. "Most people wouldn't be afraid of this behavior modeling and, that quickly, we will solve the problem of the broken username/password security model."
Which will it be: Eye prints, voice, maybe e-biometrics, possibly something else entirely? The smartest answer just may be: Probably all of the above because the biometric dawn definitely is upon us.

[Illinois] Bio-sensing Summer Series 2010: Basics of Mechanics
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Professor Hsia studies the way cracks form in brittle materials, such as glass and metal-particularly when they are subjected to heat or temperature change. His experiments with ordinary glass look at the way cracks spread through glass that has been heated and cooled.
After making an initial scratch at the edge, a small piece of glass is heated and then dipped in a cold bath. Varying the amount of heat and cold allows him to observe the way the cracks spread through the glass. When the difference between the hot and cold temperatures is relatively small, the cracks spread, or propagate, in a straight line. But, as the difference between the hot and cold temperatures grows, the driving force increases and the cracks start to form multiple cracks and/or waves.
Professor Hsia suspects that as the temperature gradient increases, the cracks dissipate the energy by forming new surfaces through the formation of multiple cracks and that the wave-like cracks that form at the highest temperature gradients are a way for the cracks to generate new surfaces with a single crack. Understanding how this occurs may provide clues that would allow stress-dissipating factors to be built into car windshields, so that cracks would be arrested rather than destroying the whole windshield.
In metals, Professor Hsia is studying the failure of thermal barrier coatings in gas-turbine engines. He suspects that the surface roughness of the bond coat used to attach the coatings onto metal may play a role in the failure of such coatings at high temperatures. He is currently investigating the mechanism by which the rumpling of this bond coat over time-due to high temperatures and other factors-roughens the surface of the bond coat and causes the coating to slough off over time.
Professor Hsia is also collaborating with two other professors in the department, Richard DeVor and Shiv Kapoor, to compare the machinability of polymers reinforced with carbon nanotubes with that of conventional carbon fiber composites. Recent published results indicate that polymers reinforced with carbon nanotubes are easier to machine and produce better results.

Grandfather Mountain By Phillip Philbeck Giclee On Canvas Grande Edition by Phillip_Philbeck is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Phillip Philbeck began doing limited-edition prints at the age of 24 with the 1992 release of "Winter's Lace" and is clearly among the most gifted and respected artists in North Carolina and the region. Born in 1968, Philbeck grew up in rural Cleveland County, North Carolina. He now resides just across the line in the foothills of Rutherford County which is approximately 70 miles west of the state's largest city, Charlotte. There hasn't been a time when didn't paint. The surroundings in which he grew up are frequent subjects for his paintings. Among his favorites are grand mountain landscapes and views with farms, streams, ponds, coastal scenes or anything with which he feels an emotional attachment. Sometimes he'll indulge himself with a still-life or portrait. Though he's known for the skill with which he carries out all aspects of his work, he particularly noted for the profusion of details throughout and his skies. "The sky sets the basic tone for my landscapes", he adds. A skill which separates him from most artists is his attention to specific details and staying away from a generic look. He favors differentiating between types of shape and texture of objects in his paintings such as different species of trees or cloud formations. "The texture of oak leaves is different from a persimmon at a distance. Also in winter, the bare limbs have a character all their own. Springtime is also wonderful to contrast the differing buds such as the differing character between the muted greenish brown of the pin oak and the pale cool green of the white oak. I also like the textures of snow, from fresh new fallen snow to snow that has been trampled down a bit from people and animals going through it." Though he loves realism with an intimate and nostalgic look , Philbeck has a tendency towards the romantic Hudson River School of Art by bathing his scenes in a dramatic light and atmosphere. As for his preferred medium, oil has always been his number one choice though he sometimes does work in gouache and acrylic.

Dreaming up HER BABY DREAMS
by Debra Clopton
I love romantic comedies! A long time ago when I first started writing I felt a little strange because I was drawn to write romance. But that was what made me feel happy when I finished reading or happy when I walked out of the theater. When I created my Mule Hollow series it was with the intention of giving readers a place to relax while they were there and then smile when they closed the book and walked away--while at the same time feel and see the beauty in honoring God's plan for a man and a woman.
I've used all types of heroines—usually upbeat sassy types because that's just what I like. And I've used all kinds of heroes—all cowboys which is the number one requirement! But when I set out to write HER BABY DREAMS I had a heroine who had moved to Mule Hollow in the very first book THE TROUBLE WITH LACY BROWN and she'd been in all seven of the other books just waiting for me to find her a husband. But you see, I had a problem because Ashby Templeton wasn't a sassy girl, she had no pep, no energy that translated into energy and inspiration for me, the author, to create her story. Sooo she just had to sit back and be patient while I wrote all the other books and waited on the right cowboy to come along and give me all that creative energy that I needed to write her love story.
Now, don't get me wrong about Ashby, yes she was reserved and a little uptight and really wished she could be more like all the sassy gals in Mule Hollow who she'd watched get married. But she just couldn't let herself loosen up. And she was afraid all of her dreams were destined to remain dreams only. Well as you know I couldn't let that happen so little did she know but I was diligently looking for the cowboy who could make all those dreams come true. Especially since she wanted a baby!
That's when I realized the hero I'd never written about was the exact hero that Ashby needed. She needed a man who was as sassy as all those heroes I loved to watch in the movies. You know the Mathew McConaughey type who is just a big, happy go lucky flirt that makes you smile when he smiles and laugh when he laughs. And of course that is when my hero stepped into my imagination and I had Ashby's love story. I can't tell you how excited I was when Dan Dawson the big ole flirt swaggered into my head…if you read my last book NEXT DOOR DADDY you met him! Oh, when that man smiles my knees go weak :+} I had the best time with Dan. Normally I have the heroines shaking up the heroes' lives but in this story I turned the tables and it was the hero doing all the shaking and it was so much fun. I'm grinning just thinking about it.
I really believe readers will have a good time watching Dan in action. I know I did. And like I said the reason I love romantic comedy is because it leaves me with a smile and I believe HER BABY DREAMS will do just that to anyone who reads it!

Lindsay Lohan's 'Saturday Night Live' Promos Hit the Web – How Did She Do? [VIDEO]
It's been six years since Lindsay Lohan lasted hosted 'Saturday Night Live.' And those six years have been interesting for the actress.
Lohan will be hosting 'SNL' for the fourth time this week with musical guest Jack White. According to sources, she has told the show's writers that nothing is off limits. Based on the promos she taped for Saturday's show below, this could also be pretty interesting.
In her promo with Kenan Thompson, she jokes about having been living in the SNL studio for the last six years. (Well, that would certainly gell with what some former cast members have said about the drug use that goes on there.)
She's also pretty good in the spots. Sometimes people forget that before the tabloid antics, Lohan was a critically acclaimed actresses who had, among other things, hosted 'SNL' three times by age 20. Here are some classic Lohan SNL skits to remind you of the now-25-year-old's comedic chops.

LOWELL -- There was a very big storm bearing down on Lowell and the rest of Massachusetts Sunday evening, but as only a light rain fell, police and firefighters were among some 500 people who joined U.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our MyCapture site.
The Professional Firefighters of Massachusetts, as well as Lowell's local firefighters union both endorsed Elizabeth Warren in this race, but Deputy Fire Chief Patrick McCabe still came out to Brown's event at the Long Meadow Country Club to show his personal support for the Republican incumbent.
McCabe could be in for a long week. He will be one of two deputy chiefs on duty for a 24-hour shift that begins this morning, just as Hurricane Sandy is really hitting the region.
McCabe was joined by Lowell Police Sgt. Mickey O'Keefe, who played himself in the Oscar-Winning Micky Ward biopic The Fighter, and Officers Miguel Quinones and Timothy Golden.
Jeff Lesniak, of Lowell, stayed at the back of the standing-room-only crowd so he could keep an eye on his three children, Matthew, 5; Sean, 8; and Meghan, 3, as they rode the country club's elevator while wearing Scott Brown stickers on their heads.
At the front of the crowd, former Lowell Mayor and City Councilor Edward "Bud" Caulfield joined other prominent Lowell Democrats in endorsing Brown.
City Councilor Rita Mercier, a Democrat, and Democratic state Rep. David Nangle were also on hand after endorsing Brown earlier this fall.
City Councilor John Leahy was also in attendance and said he plans to give Brown his vote.
Caulfield said it was the first time he has endorsed a Republican, even though former Republican Gov. William Weld asked for his support years ago since he and Caulfield got along well.
Caulfield said that with the county facing a crushing debt, high unemployment, and half of all college graduates having trouble finding work, the country needs politicians who will vote for good ideas regardless of which party came up with them.
"Party lines have gone by the boards," Caulfield said.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our MyCapture site.
Brown embraced Deputy Chief McCabe, and posed for a picture with the Lowell police officers on hand.
He said his priority during the coming storm will be to serve as the state's senator.
Brown said he already called the chief executive of NStar to see how storm preparations are coming, and that he will continue to monitor storm readiness and response.
"My first priority is to make sure everyone is OK," Brown said.

.308 shooters, take note...
(A note from Match Director Dan Newberry)
Most long range shooters know about the influx in recent years of 6 and 6.5mm cartridges into competitions such as the one we're hosting here. The .308 admittedly gives up a fair bit (as much as 30%) on wind drift over the 6's, and this has caused many diehard .308 shooters to shy away from competitions where they would be shooting against cartridges that have wind drift advantages over the .308--in other words "it just ain't fair!"
But fear not. We are definitely planning on awarding a high level prize to the top .308 shooter in the match. The proximity of the prize to the 1st place prize will depend on how close the .308 shooter's score ends up being to the top score for the match. Suffice it to say that if you're shooting a .308 for the match, you will not have to out-shoot 2 dozen 6.5mm shooters to get a decent pick from the prize table. And yes--we've seen .308 shooters win our matches before, so it's not as though you don't have a shot at the grand prize.
Why the special consideration for the .308 Winchester? Good question. First of all, there are TONS of them out there, and it isn't likely that the popularity of the cartridge is going to wane any time soon. For the time being, our military is still using it. It's the easiest long range cartridge to find good quality match ammo for. For handloaders, it's a very forgiving cartridge to load for. And a .308 barrel will last for thousands and thousands of rounds, far longer than any of the 6's for 6.5's. So .308's remain very, very popular. Lastly, since the Guardian genre is based on real world possibilities involving defense of hearth and home--and survival--.308's are going to be, with little doubt, the most common rifle fielded in such a scenario, so we want to see plenty of them on the course.
I have a lot of respect for dedicated .308 drivers. Kind of like old school bikers who still hang on to their shovel-heads... there's something about 'em. But the problem is, clinging to your .308 means that you're going to have to shoot *better* than a 6.5mm shooter just to tie the guy... if you're as good--but no better than--the 6.5 shooter on the mat next to you, he's gonna eat your lunch. That's just how it is. We know that.
If .308's just went away, we wouldn't need to have these concerns. But that's not happening anytime soon, and I therefore don't believe we should design matches that ignore the preponderance of .308's out there. Hence the plan...
So don't sit this one out if you're a .308 shooter.
(And now you can't use the fact that you do shoot a .308 as an excuse not to come out and play).

(Reuters) - Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster has been given a five-game suspension and an undisclosed fine by Major League Baseball (MLB) for "intentionally throwing at and hitting" New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez with a pitch.
Unless he appeals, Dempster's ban will start with Boston's away game on Tuesday in San Francisco. Should he appeal, the suspension will be held in abeyance until the process is complete, MLB said.
The league also handed out an undisclosed fine to Yankees manager Joe Girardi for his role in arguing with plate umpire Brian O'Nora shortly after the Dempster incident.
Dempster threw one pitch behind Rodriguez's knees, followed by two more inside in the top of the second inning of Sunday's game at Fenway Park. His 3-0 pitch struck Rodriguez's left elbow pad before ricocheted off the slugger's back.
Yankees manager Girardi immediately sprinted on to the field yelling at umpire O'Nora for not ejecting Dempster. Girardi was then tossed as the benches and bullpens emptied.
"That baseball is a weapon," Girardi told reporters on Tuesday before New York's doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. "It's not a tennis ball. It's a weapon, and it can do a lot of damage to someone's life.
"And that's why I was so upset about it. You can express your opinion and be upset with someone, but you just can't start throwing baseballs at people. I mean, it's scary."

Lady Antebellum Close Own the Night Tour with Attendance Milestone
Last November, when Lady Antebellum kicked off their 85-city We Own the Night tour in Knoxville, Tenn., they had no idea that by the end of the U.S. leg of the tour, they would have played to more than one million fans. Last Saturday night (June 30), the award-winning trio closed the North American portion of the tour by playing with Darius Rucker and Thompson Square at Milwaukee's Summerfest, marking an attendance milestone of more than 1 million fans.
The tour, which has been praised by critics for Lady A's spirited live performances, will pick up across the pond next week, with dates in European countries and Australia. With a few days to decompress after traveling 46,000 miles to play shows all over North America, Lady A members Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood reflected on the wild ride they just completed.
"I remember how exciting and special it was to hear we sold out the first weekend of the tour back in the fall," Kelley said in a statement on the trio's website. "I seriously had no idea that so many others would follow, especially places like L.A. and Chicago, or that we would be sitting here eight months later saying we played to a million fans. It doesn't even register."
It's possible that one reason why the tour was so special to Lady A and their one million fans is that the 'Wanted You More' hitmakers tried to get as close to their audience as possible.
"We invited fans up on stage most nights and just tried to get as close as possible to them…it was one giant sing-along each night," Scott said. As a songwriter, it's so cool to hear the lyrics you wrote with your best friends in the back of a bus echoing back to you by so many people."
After being on the road for practically eight straight months, you would think that the award-winning group would be ready to take some space from one another. Instead, they have international shows booked until the end of October. Haywood claims that despite all of those hours on the road, traveling together drew Lady Antebellum closer.
"We've definitely become closer as a band – musically and personally – over this tour too," Haywood said. "We are really proud of our show and how much we've grown on stage. Moments like selling out two nights in our hometown of Augusta [Georgia] with all our friends and family around are really going to make us miss being on the road this fall, but we're looking forward to working on new music and getting back into the studio."
We'll have to wait until later this year for the popular country stars to get back into the studio. But judging by their success in 2012, we have great things to look forward to.

In the US we have heat warnings (15 degrees above normal) in 13 states on the first day of Summer. I live in one; my thermometer says 97 degrees F. How are you doing? Happy Summer to folks in the northern hemisphere!
Summer Solstice: Heat Wave Marks First Day of Summer
Views: 374
Happy Solstice to you also Ruth! 94 degrees here today with a heat index that I'm sure makes 94 seem cool and breezy! I'm inside waiting for winter! LOL
Hmmmm...it's not terribly hot here (San Fernando Valley...yeah, I'm a "Val"), but we haven't been having the usual "June Glooom" overcast, either. At least we haven't had to close up the house and turn on the A/C yet. I hate it when that happens!
In the meantime:
Hot here in Chicago as well. Temperatures in the 90's all this week. I do have to say it's been pretty tolerable outside because we haven't had the usual accompanying oppressive humidity. That makes a BIG difference. I'm not a big fan of hot/humid weather. Must be the Scandinavian in me. I love a sunny 50-degree day! Happy Solstice and Summer everybody!
I'm with you, Flying Atheist. I'm not crazy about temps in the 90s, but they are MUCH more tolerable when the humidity is low. It's been that way these last few days. Honestly, is it ever comfortable when the humidity level is high? Temperatures this warm are unusual for this time of year, obviously, and we had a few days in the upper 80s back in March! I just ignore my boyfriend when he makes comments about Global Warming lol
It's supposed to be more comfortable this weekend, with temps in the upper 70s...but that forecast will probably change half a dozen times by then!
Can't believe it is hotter in the northeast than here in the southeast but our time is coming.
Hahaha! Loved those Sk8eycat! Thanks!
I forgot to add:
LOVE the corn cartoon!
Sk8eycat, I'm ready to join the dog in the sprinkler.
I leaned into the beer cooler in the grocery store yesterday and let the MG have it's way with me! I didn't care... now that's hot and not in the good way!

Antonio-Miguel Bernal
This initiative takes place in the form of a series of talks with outstanding personalities from different cultural areas who were one-time recipients of a scholarship or grant from the Fundación Juan March, which they used to begin their careers or progress professionally in their respective disciplines. With the descriptions of their experiences, the Fundación Juan March aims to put the spotlight on their lives and careers and consequently portray the evolution of a country, capturing an image of Spain during the 1950s, 60s and 70s and projecting it on to the Spain of today. This is the explanation for the title of this activity, "Memories of the Fundación": a series of programs looking back on the origins of outstanding professional careers, as well as because the results of these scholarships were reflected in a final report (referred to as a "memoria" in Spanish) or thesis deposited at the Fundación.
The host is the journalist Íñigo Alfonso, who has worked at Radio Nacional de España (RNE) since 2001, where he has performed different roles at RNE in the areas of economy and national news information, directing the late news program 24 horas (24 Hours). He has been co-director of the lunchtime TVE News and he was coordinating the parliamentary area of the news services at RNE. He is presently directing the morning news program España a las 8 (Spain at 8am) at RNE.
