CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application claims priority to Provisional Application Ser. 60/989,425, filed Nov. 20, 2007 and Provisional Application Ser. 61/013,548, filed Nov. 20, 2007. The disclosures of which are included herein at least by reference.
The present invention is in the field of e-commerce, and particularly as it pertains to virtual communities such as social networks, online gaming communities and �virtual worlds�. Yet more particularly, the present invention pertains to monetization of user-generated content on networks such as the Internet.
A second trend is democratization of content creation. In the age of the great movie studios, control of content creation (at least in the new media of radio and the movies) was entirely within the hands of a few very powerful businessmen. Later, as the costs of high quality production came down, and as more and more channels to market became available, first through UHF television stations and later through cable and satellite systems, content creation became more diffuse, taking place across thousands of companies acting in various capacities. But only recently has serious content routinely been created by individuals, by consumers. The emergence of �user-generated content� (UGC) has been a large part of the post-2000 boom in user-centric web services, which commonly is labeled broadly as Web 2.0. Today, with blogs, personal web pages, and sites for the uploading of user-generated music and video clips, more and more of what people read, hear and watch is created outside of the corporate world, in the world of UGC.
As is typical in web trends, the original social networking pioneers offered �something for nothing�, and most social networking sites continue to offer a wide range of free services. But soon after, people began seeking ways to develop profitable business models to monetize the large numbers of loyal users that had been created in a very short time. Much as Google did in search, these pioneers are looking to advertising to satisfy the need to generate revenue from highly visited social networking sites, and they are typically adopting the methods used by Google�allowing users to provide access to advertisers on their profile pages in return for a small slice of the advertising revenue. This is by now a classical business model�the site operator, the user whose profile page is used, the media buyer and others each take a piece of the total advertising spend committed by the advertisers (these by and large are the same kinds of companies as in all of the previous ages, plus the new web-based companies).
One limitation of the currently emerging model of allowing advertisers to place ads on profile pages is that it is a largely passive affair. A user can, for instance, subscribe to one of the many affiliate advertising services and make a space available for ads to be displayed, but the user has no control over what ads are displayed. Advertisers will display ads that seem to correlate well with the content of the page (for instance, a user's blog on �the new physics� will likely show ads from a science magazine, whereas one that focuses on a particular sports team would likely show ads promoting sports apparel or memorabilia. But the user cannot choose, and certainly the user cannot block undesirable advertisers from her page.
This limitation, besides providing for the possibility of incongruous and occasionally counterproductive ad placements, also leads to an inability of mainstream advertisers to take advantage of the most powerful aspect of social networks�which is precisely that social networks are self-organized market segments. People who network together, whether in a broad �network of friends� sense or in a narrow �network of first edition enthusiasts� sense, automatically define segments of great interest to advertisers, as these social networks generally will share much in common, including buying habits. But since the essence of social networks is their self-organization and, accordingly, their dynamic nature, the traditional advertising model falls short.
What is clearly needed in the art is a way to bring together the worlds of advertising and social networks in a way that serves the best interests of both key constituents�those who wish to advertise and those to whom advertisers are directed. Users of social networks, should they be able to influence what, when and how is advertised to them, would be able to achieve the reasonable goal of having ads that address actual needs and preferences, and to share in the benefits thus created. And, in a continuation of the trend away from mass advertising that the search-based ad illustrates, advertisers would be able to precisely target content at those social networks that are most predisposed to favorably react to the message, and to do so at a remarkably low cost, thus driving revenue per ad dollar up dramatically.
It is an aim of the present invention to provide a system and a method for monetizing the user-generated content that dominates social networks sites, and to provide advertisers a method to �ride the user-generated content� wave in order to achieve improved levels of targeting specificity and return on investment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In an effort to solve the problems described above of monetizing user-generated content, the inventors conceived of a fundamental shift in the longstanding paradigm of advertising. Specifically, they conceived of the notion of shifting from the model of vendors hawking their own wares through various advertising means involving the pushing of vendor materials to potential consumers to the model of users promoting and selling products that they personally find valuable or useful. Accordingly, the inventors provide a system for the monetization of user-generated content using user-controlled product placements within user-generated content.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The inventors provide a system and a method for monetization of �user-generated content� (UGC) in which creators of UGC are enabled to select from a variety of products, from a variety of vendors, and to make them available for viewing and purchase entirely within their UGC. That is, it is an object of the present invention that creators of UGC are able to choose product information about products of their choosing and to embed that information, in a variety of ways, into their content (�content� should be understood to mean �user-generated content (UGC)� unless otherwise specified throughout this specification). It is an object of this invention that viewers of UGC that has been prepared using the instant invention will be able to view the images or information associated with the products being promoted by the creator of the particular UGC, and to purchase such promoted products, or to mark them for potential future purchase, as desired. It is yet another object of this invention to provide a monetary reward to the creators of UGC who thus successfully promote products for sale; it should be understood, however, that rewards other than money may also be given to such creators of UGC according to the invention. For example, �loyalty points� such as frequent flyer miles could be rewarded as a proxy for monetary reward, without departing from the spirit of the invention. Where �monetization� and �money� are used in this specification, they should be understood to mean �monetization or the like� and �money or an equivalent reward�; the form of the reward provided is not an essential element of the invention.
While in an embodiment the social network 120 is one of the many familiar social networks available on the Internet, it should be understood that the invention can be used to market goods and services to any human network 120, for example (but not limited to) console or online gaming systems where gamers create UGC and the gaming industry operates the social network shopping cart 110 of the invention, kiosks where UGC is delivered to malls or stores using the method of the invention (the social network shopping cart 110 in this case could be operated by an operator of a chain of malls, or a chain of stores, or by a specialist third party who places kiosks in prominent places to allow consumption of UGC by social network members), virtual worlds where groups or entire virtual societies are formed and the social network shopping cart 110 is operated either by the host of the virtual world or by a third-party service provider, or even offline networks such as groups of �friends and family� who subscribe to a value-added mobile phone service that allows users to create and post content that can be viewed on mobile phones, and where the mobile phone carrier or one of its partners operates the social network shopping cart 110. An important element of the invention is provision of a social network shopping cart 110 whereby members of a human network can incorporate product information from merchants 100 into their published user-generated content 123 in order to promote the sale of those products, and the fact that the consumers (125 a through 125 n) of the published UGC can view product promotions and product information as an integral part of the user-generated content, and they can purchase products or mark them for later review and possible purchase, entirely within the published UGC 123 via the consuming component (135 a through 135 n). Only when finished and ready to check out does the consuming user (now a Buyer) (125 a through 125 n) interact with the social network shopping cart 111, specifically by going through the shopping cart's checkout procedure. FIG. 2 outlines a method of the present invention. Preliminarily (201), businesses add products available for promotion and sale via the social network 110 to the social network shopping cart 111. Merchants can specify terms under which the products can be promoted and sold when adding them to the shopping cart. Clearly one of the key terms is price, which can be expressed as a fixed price or as a range of prices. In an embodiment of the invention, products can be placed in the social network shopping cart 111 for auction within the social network, and members of the social network could add that product to their UGC and thereby accept bids; the winning bid would get the product, and the creator of the UGC from which the winning bid was entered would receive a reward from the social network shopping cart operator. Business may also upload additional information about their products into the social network shopping cart, for example the dates when the product is available, product images, shipping costs and schedules, promotional materials in text, image or video form, and so forth. In an embodiment of the invention, merchants may specify demographic or other information about the target market of the product, although it should be clear that among the key benefits of the instant invention is the fact that it is the users who self-select by choosing what products to promote and with what people to associate; merchants implicitly are marketing to the people who associate with (network with) the people who choose their products to promote within their UGC. By making demographic and other information about who might find the product most useful, merchants are not so much targeting a market segment as they are advising those who self-select the market segment.
In step 202, social network members create user-generated content for posting or publishing as published UGC 123. As mentioned above, this step could comprise many possible actions by members of the social network, including but not limited to posting a blog entry, creating a video, adding content to a personal web page, updating a personal profile page, or adding a comment or essay in a public forum section of the social network. The social network member then selects products from the social network shopping cart and adds them to her user-generated content posting 203. The user actually inserts a block of code downloaded from the social network shopping cart 111 into her user-generated content; this code block could for example be hypertext markup language (HTML), extensible markup language (XML) or the like. The code could contain a link to an image or a video, such that when a viewer of the UGC clicks on the link they can view the image of watch the video. Such techniques are well-established in the art. The code also contains means for executing a purchase or for marking an item for later review and purchase. These means could be, but are not limited to, a �Buy� button viewable by the user (�user� herein refers to the consumer (125 a through 125 n) of user-generated content), a �hot spot� in an image or a video which, when moused over, displays a �buy this item� tag, or other similar means.
One a purchase has been made, the merchant (or merchants; a single checkout can be conducted to purchase products from a plurality of merchants, and indeed from a plurality of UGC promotions) receives notification of the order and payment arrangements from the service provider 110 that operates the social network shopping cart 207 (recall that this service provider could in fact be the operator of the social network as well, but need not be). Finally, the member from whose UGC each purchase decision was made receives an endorsement fee or other monetary reward from the service provider 110 in step 208. Again, from a single �browsing expedition� or web session, multiple purchases from multiple UGC promotions could be made, and the products could be from multiple merchants. Accordingly, each transaction is tracked in the social network shopping cart as a tuple containing at least the buyer's identity, the content creator's identity, and the product's identity (which can be tied to the merchant based on the data provided in step 201).
FIG. 3 provides an example of what user-generated content (UGC) containing product promotions according to the invention might look like. In this embodiment, the UGC is a web page 300 containing user-created text 301. In this case the text describes how a DIY (Do it yourself) project was completed; this might be a common type of posting on a homeowner's social network. Additionally, the creator to the page added two tabs labeled �Recommended Tools� 302 and �Supplies� 303. On these tabs are placed either text, tabular data, or (as in the example) images of products that were found useful to the author. It is clear that this is one natural form of mixing user-generated content with product placements (i.e., advertisements). Others who want to replicate the success this author achieved may well want to know what particular tools and supplies were found the most useful, and it would be convenient for such users to be able to click on the items he does not already possess and have them effortlessly shipped to his home in time to start the project on the weekend.
FIG. 4 provides an example of another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, user-generated content is viewed on a mobile phone or personal digital assistant (PDA) 400. A member of a social network has created her own content comprising a guided tour of New York City, including a map of the tour as she conducted it 401, a narrative of the tour 402, and a selection of �Great things to do in New York� 403. The items (404 a through 404 n) are product placements selected by the content creator to enhance the value of her guided tour content by allowing viewers, as they follow her path through the city, to select and purchase additional activities without having to leave her content. Note also that the content creator could leverage the fact that many PDAs and mobile phones today have Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and can track where the user is in the city very accurately. This can be used to move the map as the user walks the tour, but it can also be used to change the promotions offered 403 based on where the user is. Such location-based product promotions within UGC are an extremely potent form of UGC-based advertising. While location-based services are emerging rapidly in the marketplace, and in particular while leveraging location information in mobile applications is known in the art, it is the combination of this capability with the unique embedding of product promotions within user-generated content (the object of the present invention) that really adds value here. Each item (404 a through 404 n) represents a recommendation of a product (or service�these terms should be understood to be interchangeable throughout this specification) by a person whom the user is likely to trust more than a mass advertiser because the user is a member of the same social network as the content creator. Thus this location-based advertising example represents an extraordinarily precise targeting of an advertisement, and is thus one for which advertisers will in general be willing to pay a premium.
FIG. 5 is yet another embodiment illustrating an exemplary use of the invention to monetize user-generated content. Merchants (500 a through 500 n) make products available, as before, for promotion by members of a social network via a social network shopping cart 111. In this case, the social network is an online gaming community (514 and 520 a through 520 n) which share an interest in games produced by game company 502, specifically the game domain 501. Optionally, the merchants could contract with the gaming company 502 to promote their products in the game domain 501, or they could upload product information directly to the social network shopping cart 111 as before. The gaming company provides a game scenario editor 503 tailored to the game domain 501, through the use of which game designer users 514 can design custom scenarios that can be deployed 506 and then viewed online 504 by players (520 a through 520 n). The game designer user 514 can be a player as well, or she could be a specialist member of the social network who designs high-end scenarios full-time. But as in other embodiments of the invention, by gaining the ability to embed product promotions from merchants 500 into her scenarios, the game designer user 514 gains access to a valuable new revenue stream and a means of enhancing game play. One of the benefits the inventors foresee for this monetization of user-generated content is illustrated in this last comment�when advertisements are inserted by trusted members of the social network in order to enhance the experience of using the social network, they are likely to be viewed as a positive force rather than a burdensome force (which is how people generally view advertising). People are consumers by nature, and they appreciate being informed, so when the information comes in a venue they enjoy, from sources they trust, buyers are likely to appreciate sellers for doing them a service. This upending of the traditional view of the role of advertisers as mass manipulators is important. The product promotions placed within their user-generated content by members of a social network are likely to not be viewed as advertisements at all by their viewers, but rather as welcome sources of information and hassle-free purchasing. To make this point clear, in this example the products being sold might be game accessories, books, and items that are closely tied to the thematic content of the game, and these are items that players of the game would enjoy seeing in the game; real-world consumption becomes part of the alternate reality (especially when one considers virtual worlds, a specialized kind of massively multiplayer online role-playing game that could have promotions added in as shown in FIG. 5).
FIG. 7 shows a product placement quality rating process of an embodiment of the invention. It would be extremely useful for a content creator to know which promotions were the most successful, and further to understand whether lack of success is due to lack of interest in the product or, more seriously, due to user discontent with how products are being promoted. Similarly, merchants and optionally the social network operator have a need to understand how effective their marketing activities into the social network are. Merchants may choose to pay more, or to limit availability of certain products for placement to content creators who achieve quality ratings above some minimum threshold. Accordingly, after users view product placements within user-generated content and optionally make purchase decisions 701, users may optionally be asked to rate the perceived quality of the product placement or placements they just viewed 702. The request to rate quality can be done after every click-through, on a random sample basis, after every purchase, or based on any of a number of sampling techniques well-established in the art. The quality ratings provide by users are then aggregated 703 and used to establish overall ratings for each content creator. Ratings can be based on several optional �dimensions�, such as suitability of the product for the target audience, accuracy of the description provided by the content creator (if any), quality of the product and the purchase, payment and shipping processes, and so forth. Essentially any factor that contributes to perceived quality, or the lack thereof, of the product placement, viewing, order and receipt process, and of the products themselves, can be rated in this way. The ratings can then optionally be provided 704 to merchants and content creators. A content creator might use these reports to refine the method of presenting product promotions, or to refine the product selections. Merchants can use this data, as mentioned, to refine their marketing efforts through social networks. Also, optionally feedback scores can be provided to viewers of UGC in the social network, for example by displaying information such as �this member's quality score is 97%, with 32 responses� when a product placement is selected for detailed viewing. This �reputation system� is similar to others known in the art, for example on large auction and ecommerce sites; the additional element here is not so much how the data is gathered or used but more what the data is�it reflects the evolving reputations of members of the social network as recommenders of products. It is anticipated by the inventors that merchants may well be willing to pay more for promotion of their products by content creators who in effect develop reputations as �product gurus to be trusted� among their network membership.

2004 Installing Microsoft Office 2004 More help System requirements and installation To run Microsoft Office 2004, your computer must meet the
following minimum requirements: Processor: Mac OS X-compatible processor that is a model G3 or higher.
Operating System: Mac OS X version 10.2.8 or later. Memory: 256 MB of RAM. Hard Disk*: 570 MB of available hard-disk space for installing Office by
using the Office Setup Assistant (recommended); 610 MB for installing Office by
dragging the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to your hard disk. Drives: CD-ROM drive. Display: Monitor that can display 1024 x 768 or higher resolution
displaying thousands of colors. *The hard disk should be in Mac OS
Extended (HFS+) format, the default format for Mac OS X. Although you can use
drag-and-drop installation to install Office 2004 on a hard disk that is in
another format, Microsoft does not currently support such a configuration. To
determine the format of your hard disk, on the Apple menu,
click About This Mac, and then click More
Info. To use all of the features available in Office 2004, we
recommend that you have the following additional items and services: Modem: 14.4 Kbps or faster. Internet Access: Internet access (for Microsoft Entourage and certain features in
other Office programs). Internet access might require you to pay a separate fee
to a service provider; local and/or long-distance telephone charges might
apply. Upgrading to Microsoft Office 2004Upgrade eligibilityYou can upgrade to Microsoft Office 2004 if you are a licensed
user of any of the following Microsoft products: Office 98 Office 2001 Office v. X (all editions) Word + Entourage 2001, Special Edition Word 98 Word 2001 Word X Word 2004 Excel 98 Excel 2001 Excel X Excel 2004 PowerPoint 98 PowerPoint 2001 PowerPoint X PowerPoint 2004 Unless you are a licensed user of any of the preceding products,
you must purchase and install the full version of Office 2004 to use it. Upgrading to Microsoft Office 2004To upgrade to Microsoft Office 2004, follow the instructions in
section 3 of this Read Me, Installing Microsoft Office 2004. During
installation, the Office Setup Assistant might prompt you to select the
location of the folder that contains an upgrade-eligible product (the Microsoft
Office X folder, for example) if it cannot find it automatically. If the folder
is not currently on your hard disk, you will be prompted on first launch of
Office 2004 to locate it. If the upgrade-eligible product is on the original
installation CD-ROM of that product, insert the CD into the computer and select
the CD-ROM location when prompted. Importing contact information to Microsoft Office 2004 If you previously used Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0, Microsoft
Entourage 2001, or Microsoft Entourage X, and you have identity data on your
computer, you can import one of these identities for use in Entourage 2004
during step 3 of the Office Setup Assistant. An identity stores a
person's preferences, account settings, Address Book and Calendar information,
schedules, tasks, messages, and more. You can choose to import a previous
identity or create a new identity. After you install Office 2004, you can then
choose to import additional identities by using Entourage 2004. If
you are not importing an identity from a previous version of Entourage or
Outlook Express for Macintosh, create a new identity, which will be used
throughout the Office 2004 programs. You must enter at least your first and
last name. This information is not sent to Microsoft. If you do not
import identity information from your previous Office product during step 3,
you can import it after you install Office 2004. To do so, open Entourage,
click Import on the File menu, and then
follow the instructions in the Import Assistant. Installing Microsoft Office 2004Important Before you install the full version of Office 2004, if you have
the Office v. X Test Drive or the Office 2004 Test Drive installed on your
computer, you must first remove the Microsoft Office X or Microsoft Office 2004
folder that was installed with the Test Drive. To do so, run the Remove Test
Drive application to remove the Office v. X Test Drive or the Remove Office
application to remove the Office 2004 Test Drive. You can install
either all Microsoft Office 2004 components at once or only those components
that you select. The Office Setup Assistant guides you through installing
Office in six easy steps. Welcome License Agreement User Information Product Key Installation Getting Started NotesBefore you install Office 2004, turn off your
virus-protection software because it might interfere with installation, and
quit any programs that are running. Also, switch to Mac OS X if you are
currently running the Classic environment (Mac OS 9). To quit the Classic
environment, on the Apple menu, click System
Preferences, and then click Classic. On the
Start/Stop tab, click Stop. Make sure that your Mac OS X user account has
administrator privileges. (You must know both the user name and password for
this account.) To check your user account for administrator privileges, on the
Apple menu, click System Preferences, and
then click Accounts. User accounts with administrator
privileges have the word "Admin" beside them. For more information about Admin
accounts, see Mac Help. Install OfficeTo start the Setup Assistant, insert the Microsoft Office
2004 CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. On the desktop, double-click the Microsoft Office 2004
icon. When the setup window appears, double-click the Office
Setup Assistant icon. Follow steps 1 through 4 in the Office Setup Assistant. Be
sure to read the instructions on each screen carefully.When you see the
Authenticate window, enter an administrator user name and
password. If the Setup Assistant becomes idle during any point in the setup
process, you might be prompted for the user name and password again.
In step 5 of the Setup Assistant (Installation), under
Select the installation location, on the pop-up menu, click
the location you want. Under Select the type of installation you
want, click the type of installation you want. Most people will want
the Recommended (default) installation. To install only
certain components, click Custom, and then select the check
boxes for the components you want.Note Clearing the check box next to a component in the Setup Assistant
does not remove the component if you previously installed Office 2004. Click Install. Photo credits for sample documents The following photos are used in the sample documents of Office

Feline Fridays: Scratching – Must it be a CATastrophe? | BaxterBoo Blog
Feline Fridays: Scratching – Must it be a CATastrophe?
Posted on February 17, 2012 by Mary	Remember my lovely cat, Cali? The one who’s helped to heal some holes in our family? She’s still a wonderful addition to our home, but now we also have new holes in our drapes and furniture from scratching. What’s a responsible new cat lover to do? I had my daughter do some research on declawing, and it sounds rather barbaric – it’s like removing a third of one’s digits – not a pretty thought. We don’t want to maim her and compromise her balance and grace. After all, it’s those ninja antics that we find so remarkably endearing.

Although it’s easy to see how much cats enjoy stretching and scratching, how does one redirect a diva that, in one moment, looks at you adoringly and the next with disdain? I was on the receiving end of one of those bored “are you kidding me?” expressions when I placed Cali in front of the scratching post and started rubbing her paws against it. I even tried scratching it myself as if to say, “See look! Isn’t this fun?” She was not buying it.
So, fellow cat fans, I’ve done a bit of research for you, in the hopes that we can solve this problem together.
Think Like a Feline.
Scratching is a natural, ingrained behavior for cats. Their wild counterparts scratch trees for both visual and scent marking of their territories, so scratching your prized sofa is your cat’s way of saying she likes living with you so much that she’s adding her own decorating touch. You will notice that cats like scratching and stretching up high (hello… why not incorporate kitty yoga and decorating in one?) It’s all about being noticed…go big or go home! This is why your sofa is their favorite. It’s soft, big, sturdy, and shred-a-licious!
It’s All About Fun and Food!
We have to entice kitty to something better. Cats will hold grudges, so a flimsy, teetering scratching post will scare them away. Build or buy a scratching post that is sturdy and tall (18-36”) that they can shred and make it look “lived in.” Because remember, their instinct is to mark their territory both visually and with their scent. Try using carpet, even the reverse side of carpet, corrugated cardboard, or sisel fabric.
To really ramp up your scratching post’s appeal, consider making catnip tea by boiling dried catnip for 10 minutes. Or simply soak the leaves overnight. Drain off the leaves and place the cooled “tea” in a spray bottle to mist the scratching post.
Food is also a high motivator. Put treats at the top of the post. Tempt your cat’s interest by dangling string over the post to encourage those initial claw and scent marks. If your cat thinks it is fun, they will think it’s their idea!

Make the Sofa a Drag.
In order to make the sofa or your speakers not-so-fun, you will need to do your own redecorating. It has been suggested to use double-sided sticky tape either by itself or with aluminum foil on favored scratching places because cats don’t like the feel of those things. Since we now know that their decorating also includes aromatherapy, it’s also important to neutralize their lingering scent marks. Try misting citrus sprays on your sofa and other items you want to protect as cats don’t care for that fragrance. As a last resort, give kitty a negative association with scratching your couch by using a water bottle set to “stream” and spray them only when caught in the act. Do this from far enough away that the cat hopefully won’t associate the water with you. Punishment will simply give them a negative association with you, so avoid yelling and other scare tactics.
What Diva Couldn’t Use a Manicure?
Consider trimming your cat’s nails or using nail caps. Both of these activities require trust for all parties involved. There are several good videos and websites that give tips for how to accomplish this with minimal fuss and maximum safety. I personally want to try some of the colored caps as they will suit my little princess quite well!
Cat scratching issues are one of the main reasons cats end up in shelters, but declawing is an unsuitable answer. Are there other solutions you’ve found to channel this behavior into appropriate surfaces?

I feel that declawing a cat is cruel , it can cause bad infections. Get something else for your cat to scratch on. The scratching post is a great idea, but, how about a cat tree, they have a scratching post, plus are great entertainment for him.

Stacy Alexander -LISTEN TO MY ART BEAT!: Len Cowgill - Containment Beyond Assemblage
Assemblage is an art form in which natural and manufactured, traditionally non-artistic, materials are assembled into three-dimensional structures. As such it is closely related to collage, and like collage it is associated with (but predates) Cubism. As much as by the materials used, it can be characterized by the way in which they are treated. In an assemblage the banal, often tawdry materials retain their individual physical and functional identity, despite artistic manipulation.
I was first introduced to assemblage through the work of John Chaimberlain’s metal constructions made of wrecked cars at the Menil Museum in Houston. Fascinated, I soon familiarized myself with the work of Louise Nevelson and Joseph Cornell, two of the world's most notable assemblage artists. I have always felt a particular connection to Cornell’s work. My flickr friend, Len Cowgill’s assemblage work appears to be strongly influenced by Cornell.
He also constructs some mighty impressive collage work!
You May Hear but You Don't Listen
This is an assemblage that Len created by meticulously rendering individual drawings of 86 deceased artists and attaching them to a vintage wooden type tray.
Len Cowgill - 86 Dead Artists
Andy Warhol detail
My work is about containment. I explore some facet of the human condition in a drawing and box it up or put it in a bottle.
Presenting P.T. Barnum
She Thinks She Was Adopted
I create a stage for the drawing and invite the audience to get close, look at and touch it.
Sometimes, the drawings are in the form of puppets and the viewers may tug the strings and make them jump. I put music boxes that the viewer can crank on some pieces or I’ll mount the drawing on a turntable so it will spin.
Monday Morning Turn Around
The important part is that the experience is shared, that a story has been told…perhaps not the story I had in mind. I’ve succeeded when the piece develops its own story.
Tully Doesn't Live Here Any More
Not all of my work does a jig or cranks out a song. Some of my work is very still, a moment caught and pinned down, like a butterfly in a museum exhibit, a cabinet of curiosity.
But my boxes and bottles contain glimpses of ordinary moments and thoughts we’ve all experienced, a bit of the joy and pain of growing up, of being human.
I could look at Len's work all day long! It draws me in and makes me curious. The use of text with images is wholly compelling. It all looks so familiar...but I guess that's the point. Isn't it?
He is represented by the Tamarack Gallery
Posted by Stacy Alexander at 1:23 AM
Fabulous ART and fabulous POST!
Thank you for introducing Len and his art, I love it. My favourites are the box with all the dead artists, and the bottle with the girl who am I. I am off to try to find out more about him, thanks again

Great fish, avoid the curry sauce
Jacks has been recommended to me in the past, and for good reason. The cod and chips are great, but for some weird reason I aslo asked for curry sauce. Avoid the curry sauce, it's too salty and doesn't add anything to their food.
If you are a fishy person please go in and really enjoy their fish n chips - they are fantastic!
We have already been in there a few times. What I really like about their fish, the batter is fresh and crispy!! Not at all greasy like you get them in some places.
Fish and chips generally good. £1.10 for a can of coke excessive. The curry sauce was very tasty but £1.50 a pot again excessive, the pot is large if it was smaller perhaps they could charge less. Made a nice change though as we hadn't...More

I've been going to jacks fish bar for good 3 years, This particular evening I go in there planning to draw out some money first as usual and go on to buying something.. they told me I could use the cash point machine but have to order first and then they will put the machine on for me to use, told me to order first then I had to wait for someone to put cashpoint back on to proceed and pay for my food! They then went back to the cashpoint and turnt it off after me to make me believe they was doing this to every customer. I then go in again next few days to see that the cashpoint is always on! Today they couldn't even give me a reason why which made me angry! they remembered what happens before. My question is why? And was there really any point!
It does not make sense since they will make money on housing the cash dispensing machine weather you spend money or not. It seems like a disgruntled employee. I would contact the owner and the governing council etc for that... More

Baseball: Spaulding leads Robinson to Concorde District title
Robinson senior Matt Spaulding pitched a strong seven innings in leading his team to the Virginia AAA Concorde District title Tuesday night, but he did not get credit for tossing a complete game.
That’s because Spaulding’s seven-inning stint in the seven-inning game came in relief. When Robinson junior starter Chase Bailey encountered trouble in the first inning and did not record an out, on came Spaulding to bail out the Rams and throw them to a 4-2 victory at Westfield for their first district championship since 2007.
Spaulding’s previous longest stint this season was five innings, and his outing Tuesday was split — two innings before a rain delay and five after. Spaulding struck out three, walked none and gave up six hits.Needing relief help that early in a game is the kind of development that the Rams might have fretted about earlier in the season. First-year Coach John James, who led West Springfield to the state title in 2010, noticed early in his tenure at Robinson that his players had a tendency to dwell on the uncontrollable.The Rams (13-9) have overcome that and now have won seven of their last nine games. “We stopped paying attention to the opponents and circumstances of games and just started focusing more on our own performance,” said James, a Robinson assistant for seven years before taking the West Springfield job for seven. “What we had to do was get over the mental stuff.“You get into the heat of competition and you start worrying about umpire calls and start wondering who’s going to pitch and where they are in the lineup and all the different circumstances or if they had a bad at-bat carrying it with them out on defense. They got progressively better at just focusing on each pitch and handling adversity.”The Rams have ridden their pitching. They have allowed 29 runs in their past dozen wins, led by senior Denis Mikush, Bailey, Spaulding and senior Patrick Baker.Mikush drove in two runs in the district final. Baker doubled to lead off the game, took third on a bunt by sophomore Danny Herrera and scored on one of Bailey’s two hits.Robinson hosts Langley (13-7) in a first-round Northern Region tournament game at 7 p.m. Friday. The teams scrimmaged before the season.The first-round regional matchups are, in one half of the bracket: Wakefield at Lake Braddock, Centreville at McLean, Marshall at Westfield and West Potomac at Yorktown.In the other half, it’s Langley at Robinson, South County at Stuart, Washington Lee at West Springfield and Oakton at Stone Bridge.The quarterfinals are at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Monday in doubleheaders at Lake Braddock and Madison. The semifinals are May 30 and championship June 1, all at Madison.

Association between genetic variants in the HNF4A gene and childhood-onset Crohns disease — Johns Hopkins University
Association between genetic variants in the HNF4A gene and childhood-onset Crohns disease
V. Marcil, D. Sinnett, E. Seidman, F. Boudreau, F. P. Gendron, J. F. Beaulieu, D. Menard, M. Lambert, A. Bitton, R. Sanchez, D. Amre, E. Levy
Hepatocyte nuclear 4 alpha (HNF4α), involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, has been linked to intestinal inflammation and abnormal mucosal permeability. Moreover, in a genome-wide association study, the HNF4A locus has been associated with ulcerative colitis. The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between HNF4α genetic variants and Crohns disease (CD) in two distinct Canadian pediatric cohorts. The sequencing of the HNF4A gene in 40 French Canadian patients led to the identification of 27 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)s with a minor allele frequency >5%. To assess the impact of these SNPs on disease susceptibility, we first conducted a case-control discovery study on 358 subjects with CD and 542 controls. We then carried out a replication study in a separate cohort of 416 cases and 1208 controls. In the discovery cohort, the genotyping of the identified SNPs revealed that six were significantly associated with CD. Among them, rs1884613 was replicated in the second CD cohort (odds ratio (OR): 1.33; P0.012) and this association remained significant when both cohorts were combined and after correction for multiple testing (OR: 1.39; P0.004). An 8-marker P2 promoter haplotype containing rs1884613 was also found associated with CD (P2.09 × 10 4 for combined cohorts). This is the first report showing that the HNF4A locus may be a common genetic determinant of childhood-onset CD. These findings highlight the importance of the intestinal epithelium and oxidative protection in the pathogenesis of CD.
