Last Time Out
The Harvard women's volleyball team battled back from a first set loss for the second straight night to defeat Hofstra Saturday evening, 3-1, and cap off the eighth annual Harvard Invitational with a 2-0 record. The victory came by set scores of 26-28, 25-23, 25-23, 25-23.
Caroline Holte and the Crimson front line combined for a total of 17 blocks with Holte being credited on 12. The sophomore finished her evening with one solo block and 11 block assists, marking the most blocks in a match for Harvard since Sandra Lynne Fryhofer '12 totaled 13 at Georgia State on Sept. 3, 2011. Both Kristen Casey and Caroline Walters added five block assists.
Harvard's defense was strong all the way around in limiting Hofstra (4-2) to a .109 hitting percentage. Natalie Doyle turned in 14 digs to pace the back row with Casey and Sindhu Vagesena each contributing 13. Casey also notched 12 kills for her first double-double of the young season as Kathleen Wallace chipped in 11. Holte also added nine kills.
Coming Out Party
Corinne Bain was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Sept. 9 after leading the Crimson to a 2-0 record at the eighth annual Harvard Invitational.
Bain made an immediate impact in her collegiate debut as the Crimson came from behind for a 3-2 win over Holy Cross. The freshman finished with 10 kills, 31 assists and nine digs, narrowly missing out on a triple-double. She also scored three aces and three blocks against the Crusaders while hitting .333. Bain and her teammates returned to the court the following day to defeat Hofstra, 3-1, thanks in part to her eight-kill, 28-assist, nine-dig effort which also included four aces and three blocks.
Corinne Bain (2.00 kps, 6.56 aps, 2.00 dps) , Kathleen Wallace (2.22 kps, .255 hitting percentage) and Caroline Walters (1.33 bps, 1.78 kps) were each named to the Harvard Invitational All-Tournament Team after guiding the Crimson to a pair of wins. Wallace and Walters were also named to the all-tourney team a year ago while Bain, a freshman, received the honor for the first time.
Fast Start
The Crimson defeated both Holy Cross and Hofstra at the Harvard Invitational to open the year, marking the first time since 2009 that the Crimson have begun the year with back-to-back wins. Harvard has only started 2-0 or better five times under head coach Jennifer Weiss with the 2001 squad rattling off four straight wins at the onset of the season.
Protecting the Net
Harvard dominated the net in its first two matches, posting 17 total blocks in each victory. The Crimson currently ranks No. 1 in the NCAA in blocks per set (3.78) while Caroline Walters (1.33 bps) and Jennifer Shults (1.25 bps) rank 36th and 64th on the individual list, respectively.
Scouting San Diego State (3-3)
The host Aztecs enter the weekend with a 3-3 overall record after going 2-1 at the Northern Arizona Fiesta Bowl Tournament. SDSU has a pair of players averaging over 3.00 kps in Summer Nash (3.91) and Raega Shelton (3.14), while Johnna Fouch has dished out 11.50 aps. Emily Harris, meanwhile, owns a team-best .362 hitting percentage and has notched 2.88 kps. On the defensive side of the net, Courtney Vaccarello leads the Aztecs with 4.24 dps with Chaiymin Steel contributing 0.84 bps.
Scouting Southern Methodist (5-2)
SMU will carry a 5-2 record into the tournament and is riding a three-match winning streak. The Mustangs swept last weekend's SMU Invite after dropping just one of 10 sets. Cailin Bula leads the attack with 3.00 kps as Caroline Young and Abbey Bybel have added 2.74 kps and 2.62 kps, respectively. Avery Acker has contributed 10.91 aps with Morgan Heise (3.39 dps) and Maddia Lozano (0.91) carrying the load defensively.
Scouting San Francisco (1-5)
San Francisco is just 1-5 on the year but picked up its first win of the season last weekend over Air Force, 3-0, at the Bay Area Challenge. Malina Terrell sports a 3.64 kps average and is hitting .348 on the year while Valentina Zaloznik has added 2.80 kps and a .358 hitting percentage. Both Mackenzie Murtagh and Kiara McKibben have contributed to the offense, dishing out 5.40 aps and 4.68 aps, respectively. Rebecca Kopilovitch has provided steady play in the back row with 4.76 dps as Inbar Virarsky has racked up 0.72 bps.
Welcome Back
Harvard returns 10 letterwinners to the court in 2013 including co-captains Kristen Casey and Natalie Doyle. Casey, who played outside hitter as a freshman but made the transition to libero as a sophomore, will return to the outside as a six-rotation player for the Crimson. Doyle, meanwhile, will be relied upon in the back row after averaging 2.39 dps a year ago.
Also returning for the Crimson is Caroline Walters (1.06 bps), an All-Ivy League second team performer in 2012, Erin Cooney (2.14 kps), Caroline Holte (1.00 bps), Hannah Schmidt (4.78 aps), Teresa Skelly (0.88 bps) and Kathleen Wallace (2.81 kps).
New To The Scene
Earlier this summer, head coach Jennifer Weiss announced the addition of five freshmen for 2013; Corinne Bain, Whitney Hansen, Jane Labanowski, Danielle Leavitt and Grace Weghorst. This group, which represents California, Florida and Texas, has combined for three state championships, eight district championships and seven league championships.

On The Sidelines
Head coach Jennifer Weiss returns for her 21st season at the helm of the Harvard women's volleyball program. Weiss owns a 251-293 record on the sidelines and guided Harvard to its only Ivy League championship in 2004. She has mentored 48 All-Ivy honorees, five Ivy League Rookie of the Year recipients and coached the program's first two-time Ivy League Player of the Year in Kaego Ogbechie '05.
Weiss is joined this season by first-year assistants Arturo Rivera and Jeffrey Aucoin.

At a family reunion last year, I caught up with my cousin who has been a financial advisor for the past 15 years. The topic of social business came up, given his work and mine as a manager of customer success at Hearsay Social. An avid proponent of social media for business, he was excited to share some of his recent success stories with me.
First, he said that his favorite thing about social business is the fact that "it works while he sleeps." In fact, his two single largest accounts originated simply because he managed an up-to-date and compelling social presence. After finding him through an advisor-search tool on his company's website, these clients researched him on social media before proactively contacting him.
Second, my cousin explained that he actually spends very little time on social media. Like most other successful financial advisors, he aims to spend most of his time with clients. But he does set aside a small amount of time to keep his profile up to date, grow his network, listen for key buying signals from his prospects and clients, and share relevant content.
Not everyone has mastered social business in the way my cousin has. In fact, my team at Hearsay Social is specifically dedicated to coaching advisors on how to optimize their social media usage for measurable business results. What we've learned over the past few years is that there are three key actions that you can take today to jump-start your social business:
Step 1: Examine and Refine Your Social Footprint
When it comes to your social presence, you may already have multiple accounts, handles, profiles, etc. That's why one of the best things you can do is take a step back and look at your social footprint as a whole. Think about what your clients and prospects will find when they search for you.
If someone searches for me, for example, they will find me consistently listed as "Sarah Pedersen" across LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, and they will also see that my custom URL ends in "/sarahcpedersen" to make it easy for folks to find me in multiple online locations. Additionally, while I do use different photos of myself on different sites, they are all up-to-date and professional (see below).
These days, prospects are not just looking for your advisor page (if you have one). They are also looking you up on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to learn even more about you.
Did you know 97% of customers search for local businesses online and 92% of consumers trust 'word of mouth' (social media) above all other advertising?
Consumers trust not only what other consumers say but also how you present yourself online.
If your name is Robert, for example, make sure that you are "Robert" on all of your findable social media accounts. If you go by Bobby on Twitter, Rob on Facebook, and Robert on LinkedIn, you are missing out on key opportunities to attract new prospects.
What to do? Spend 5 minutes each week making sure your profiles are up-to-date, consistent and compliant with your company/brand standards.
Step 2: Encourage Feedback and Find Your Niche
Years ago, when brands were just starting to dabble in social media, many were concerned about negative feedback. The fact is that whether you have a profile or not, consumers are probably already talking about you online. So why miss out on a chance to be a part of this conversation?
If people are saying something negative, use it as an opportunity to show your dedication, transparency, and commitment to do right by the customer. Did you know that 83% of people who complained on Twitter loved the response from those companies that did make an effort to respond? It's up to you to turn a negative situation into a positive one.
One trait that we see in some of our most successful advisors using Hearsay Social is that they have a sincere interest in learning more about their audience. These advisors actively and regularly seek feedback from their connections to determine what motivates them, what interests them and how to best serve them. By asking relevant questions on social media, you will not only show a true commitment to your clients and prospects, but you may even uncover a niche area of expertise that can allow you to find more leads.
What to do? Once a week, ask your social media audience a question. Consider asking questions such as "What is your biggest financial concern? What are your biggest challenges to saving? or "How do you talk to your kids about their financial future?"
Step 3: Keep the Conversation Going
All too often, I witness what I consider to be one the biggest faux pas in social business: the dangling conversation. An advisor posts a great article with some relevant insights for his connections, a prospect comments asking for more information, and then…no response from the advisor. While posting content on social media is critical to social business success, it is also essential to follow up on responses you receive. If a prospect says "Great article!" thank them and ask what part of the article resonated with them in particular. You may even consider asking for a meeting if you find that appropriate. If a client shares your content, consider picking up the phone to offer her more relevant information.
Remember: social business does not necessarily transpire 100% on social media, though it's often initiated on social media. Also, remember that 91% of online adults use social media regularly and that there are more devices connected to the Internet than there are people on earth (seriously).
Your clients and prospects are always connected. So don't miss out on the opportunity to continue a dialogue and build a relationship.
What to do? Look through your past three posts across all of your social networks and identify any "dangling conversations."
Pick up the phone, send an email or even comment back in-line to bring those conversations back to life. Make sure you set aside 5-10 minutes a week to check in on your posts moving forward.

Family Outing Photos for Assumption
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick took their son to the Broadway premiere of Catch Me If You Can last night in New York. I really do love it when they walk a carpet together. It's one of my favourite Photo Assumptions.
Let's play!
I particularly like the way her hand is gripped around his neck. I also really enjoy how dutifully delighted he looks to be there. And, in response, how grateful she is that he's dutifully delighted. Then it gets a little sad, even in photo assumption when things aren't supposed to be real. Because her smile when he smiles is so full of relief and validation and appreciation, you wonder how often she gets it.

Don't forget the customers after mergers
Merging companies that focus on a dual-goal emphasis of simultaneously enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction show the highest increase in long-term financial performance, according to a new study from Rice University, Kent State University and the University of Pittsburgh.
"However, achieving a dual emphasis is very difficult," the study's authors said. "Managers need to be prepared with a realistic timetable and implementation plan."
The study is timely in the context of recent merger discussions making headlines. Apparel retailer Men's Wearhouse has begun a hostile bid for competitor Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, and Sprint has launched a takeover attempt of wireless communications industry rival T-Mobile US, indicating mergers between these companies may be in the future.
The paper was published online in the Journal of Service Research and will appear in an upcoming print edition.
Study co-author Vikas Mittal, the J. Hugh Liedtke Professor of Marketing at Rice's Jones Graduate School of Business, said there are many recent examples where firms have overestimated their ability to achieve a dual emphasis. When Hertz merged with Dollar Thrifty in November 2012, the Federal Trade Commission forced Hertz to shed its subsidiary Advantage Rent a Car brand. Unable to stay efficient, Advantage is now preparing to file for bankruptcy protection.
Similarly, when United and Continental merged, Continental clearly had more satisfied customers than United, Mittal said. After the merger, the combined satisfaction declined as the merged entity - marketed as "United" — tried to become more efficient. "It has taken Continental-United over three years," Mittal said. "They are still in the process of achieving a dual emphasis. Many firms do not have a unified plan to achieve dual emphasis after a merger — how to simultaneously improve efficiency and customer satisfaction."
The author's paper investigated the moderating role of mergers using satisfaction data spanning from 1995 to 2003. The researchers examined 233 companies that had merged and 196 other companies. The firms in the sample participated in the American Customer Satisfaction Index, which features large U.S.-based firms such as Coca-Cola, Ford, FedEx, Kroger, McDonald's and Southwest Airlines. The authors found that the largest long-term value accrued to firms that had undergone a merger and were able to achieve a dual-goal emphasis by simultaneously increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction.
A merger presents an opportunity for firms to identify and focus on their most profitable customer segments to strengthen their profitability, the authors said. A merger setting also facilitates access to new markets and may be able to attract new target segments whose needs are more aligned with the firm's offerings. In the realm of efficiency, shared services and rationalization of fixed costs are key drivers.
"Despite the synergistic efficiency improvement opportunities that a merger presents, true firm value is only increased if customer satisfaction is increased as well," Mittal said. "During a merger, the management team needs to seize opportunities to implement both changes simultaneously." He underscored that customers are the largest revenue base for a company. "After mergers, companies that ignore customers and only focus on cost cutting may be missing the boat," Mittal said. "The reverse is also true."
Christopher Groening, an assistant professor of marketing at Kent State's College of Business, said it is important to note that investors "are not just looking for high levels of customer satisfaction and firm efficiency, but actual increases."
The other co-authors were Vanitha Swaminathan, an associate professor of business administration and the Robert W. Murphy Faculty Fellow in Marketing at Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business, and Felipe Thomaz, a doctoral candidate at the Katz School.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bayouabita from A very efficient tool I've been cooking/preparing meals for almost four decades; I generally find the simplest kitchen gadgets are usually the most effective. Loved this citrus reamer so much, I purchased one for our daughter who goes through beaucoup lemons and limes weekly. She's thrilled with how much juice she can extract from a single fruit and how easy it is to clean --- just rinse and allow to dry.Date published: 2016-02-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauren007 from Great lemon reamer Love this easy to use lemon reamer. It extracts a lot of the juice from the rind. Loads of pulp into my lemonade makes it delish! Easy to clean and dry quickly!Date published: 2015-06-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Zuckererbse from A Williams-Sonoma classic" One of my favorite cooks tools, simple and very efficient. Young Chuck Williams saw the reamer during a trip to England, and brought it back to the U.S. And after all these years, it is still better than anything else that juices lemons quickly and without much hustle. Just rinse it after use, dry and put away. Thank you, Chuck!Date published: 2015-02-16Rated 3 out of 5 by LexyE from Useful, but not finished quality. As others mentioned, this is great for getting the max amount of juice out of citrus quickly. It is too small to be effective for oranges, but perfect for cocktail-sized lemons/limes. I use it almost daily for fresh lemon&ginger tea. Unfortunately, the wood was much rougher than I was expecting. I knew it would need wood treatment, but there were so many chips and burrs sticking up that I had to spend 20min or so going over every nook and cranny of it with 400 grit sandpaper before treating with oil. You can actually see this in the product photos if you zoom in. It is quite nice now, but if you are not prepared to put in the extra effort (or expense), I recommend going with one of the plastic versions.Date published: 2014-12-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Beenie from Simple and Functional I like using this reamer if I need a few tsp of lemon juice for a recipe and I'm too lazy to dig out the hand juicer. Sturdy, has lasted well for the past several years even with multiple hand washes. Does a great job extracting a lot of juice.Date published: 2014-02-02Rated 5 out of 5 by choochee from Ten Stars or More!! How did I ever live without this simple tool? I can't believe how well it works and how much I enjoy using it. It gets ALL the juice out of lemons and limes and it also holds the seeds in the little ridges along the point so they are easy to remove after juicing. What a wonderful invention this is and it is such a simple basic design. Oh, it's also easy to clean. I've seen these for years and finally decided to get one. I'm very happy with my purchase and HIGHLY recommend it to you, as well.Date published: 2013-02-19Rated 5 out of 5 by BlueCat from Minimum Effort = Maximum Juice Great tool for juicing lemons, limes, and oranges. No hand fatique from squeezing or pressing. Cleanup easy. Wish I would have purchased years ago. Before using the first time, I treated it with Boos Wood Cream.Date published: 2012-03-05

Ga. – The winner of numerous Perfect Game, WWBA and BCS tournament events, including the 2012 WWBA World Championship held in Jupiter, Fla. last October, there's no question that the East Cobb Baseball program is
one of the best.
we try to do, especially in the older age groups, is teach them the
game and get them in front of as many college and pro scouts as we
can to try and further their career," said head coach of the East
Cobb Braves 17u, Kevin Baldwin.
East Cobb Braves 17u has a large roster full of rising stars, a lot
of which are already committed to Division I schools. Holding down
the third and fourth hole in the team's batting order are Kel Johnson
and Michael Chavis, two of the team's top prospects.

I'm sure some of the teachers here will be able to provide assistance.
In the meantime, don't panic. One often gets flustered in situations like this, and forgets one has more resources at hand. Haven't you got anything you can use on your book shelf? Have you tried Google? What about your fellow-students?
Good luck.

Living on the edge can be exhilarating but also deflating if the results don't turn out as desired.
The Columbus Crew have experienced plenty of the former by scoring a game-winning goal in the 86th minute or later four times since Aug. 25. With that history as a foundation, the Crew never panicked Saturday at Chicago even as they trailed 2-1 with the clock winding down.
"The way we were playing the second half I thought for sure we'd equalize," goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum told MLSsoccer.com by phone after the match.
OPTA Chalkboard: Columbus dominate possession in loss
It wasn't to be this time, however, as the defeat put a crimp in the Crew's playoff aspirations.
The outcome was something that coach Robert Warzycha feared in an interview with MLSsoccer.com the day prior to the match.
"We have to put ourselves in a situation where we don't have to score a goal at the end to get a result," he said. "Sometimes the game won't go your way."
His wish wasn't granted because a first-half brace by Chris Rolfe cancelled out Jairo Arrieta's early goal, forcing the Crew to seek late magic yet again.
And despite numerous opportunities over the final 15 minutes, Columbus came away empty-handed – both on the score sheet and in the standings.
"We fight to the end, but we can't score [late] every single game," defender Josh Williams said.
Postseason in the balance
The Crew (13-11-6, 45 points) have never missed the playoffs in a season when they've had a winning record, but it's going to take some work this time around because D.C. United and New York are tied for third at 50 points while Houston (46) occupy the final Eastern Conference postseason spot.
The good news is Columbus have three of the final four at home plus a match at D.C. United in their penultimate game. The bad news is that the defense hasn't be particularly stingy of late, a clear issue according to Warzycha.
"The big thing is we're allowing the other team to score two or three goals," he said. "If we continue to do that, we're not going to be in the playoffs."
Remember me?
No, that was not a mirage: High-profile offseason acquisition Olman Vargas was on the field for the final nine minutes Saturday in his first appearance in 13 matches.
The forward's absence from the lineup had nothing to do with injuries, as he clearly fell out of favor with Warzycha, especially after the midseason arrivals of Jairo Arrieta and Federico Higuaín.
Vargas' last appearance before Saturday night was on July 14, a 10-minute stint against Sporting Kansas City. The last of his seven starts was May 19 vs. San Jose. His lone goal came in the second game of the season on March 24.
While Vargas did not do much against the Fire, it wasn't entirely his fault.
"We didn't utilize him like we're supposed to," Warzycha said. "The idea was to get him on the field and the guys on the wings get some crosses in. They didn't."

(Boston, Mass. – Oct. 11, 2011) – A Wakefield,…
According to the settlement filed last week by EPA's New England office, EPA alleged that Sciessent LLC, formerly known as Agion Technologies Inc., violated the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, known as FIFRA, between 2006 and 2009 by making illegal claims about these products and by importing them without filing the required reports with EPA. The company supplies silver-ion antimicrobial ingredients to numerous customers who then incorporate the substances into various consumer, commercial, and industrial products to protect the products against deterioration. Under the settlement, Sciessent has agreed to pay a $180,000 penalty over two years based partly on the company's financial ability to pay.
The other party involved in the settlement is Sinanen Zeomic Co., Ltd., a Japanese company that produces and supplies pesticides to Sciessent. The violations EPA alleged against Sinanen stem from the company's failure to properly register its Nagoya facility under federal law as a pesticide-producing establishment. To resolve those claims, Sinanen has agreed to pay a $40,000 penalty.
Agion was a Delaware corporation that dissolved early in 2011. Sciessent, also a Delaware corporation, is believed to be the corporate successor to Agion and is located at Agion's former headquarters in Wakefield. Sinanen supplies Sciessent with a number of FIFRA-registered pesticides, specifically the silver-ion based substances used as antimicrobial agents that are the subject of this EPA enforcement case.
In response to EPA's compliance concerns and, after a February 2009 EPA inspection, the Sinanen facility was registered as a pesticide-producing establishment. Also, Sciessent has made changes to its web-based product claims and is continuing with efforts to ensure that the company's operations are in full compliance with FIFRA.
The requirements underlying the violations are intended to protect public health and the environment from unreasonable risks from pesticides. Products that kill or repel bacteria or other microbes are considered pesticides, and must be registered with the EPA before their sale or distribution. The agency will not register a pesticide until it has been shown that the substance will not pose an unreasonable risk when used according to the directions. Consumers should be careful to follow directions for proper use and look for the EPA registration number printed on product labels.
In the past few years, silver-ion antimicrobials have been the subject of several EPA enforcement cases relating, specifically, to entities making public health-based claims in violation of federal law about their products that have silver-ion ingredients. Some of these cases include: Samsung Electronics America Inc. in 2009; VF Outdoor Inc. and Califone International Inc. in 2010; and Logitech Inc. in 2011.

Bob Fingerman asked me to do a pin up for an upcoming issue of his outstanding comic series Minimum Wage. And here's what I came up with.
Maximum Wage, it's basically the Minimum Wage omnibus.
I haven't had a chance to read any of the new issues yet (one of the draw backs of not living near a decent comic book store). This illustration will appear in Minimum Wage #5 out in May.

The Principality of Wy loves art and promotes world peace.
Wy believes that all disagreements between nations, large and small, should be resolved by art, music and poetry competitions.
The Principality of Wy Serene Anthem for World Peace
The harmony of many nations,
Is one melody, The same.
A theme, with minor variations,
Out of Africa we came.
The Principality of Wy, The Artists' Principality, congratulates brilliant young artists. who love drawing, around the world; – from JAPAN, CHINA, BRAZIL, INDIA, INDONESIA, RUSSIA, ENGLAND, FRANCE, SWEDEN, GERMANY, SCOTLAND, AUSTRALIA, PORTUGAL, FINLAND, PHILLIPINES, NEW ZEALAND, IRELAND, ARGENTINA, AMERICA, THAILAND, KOREA, NORWAY, MALAYSIA, ICELAND, GREECE, HUNGARY, SWITZERLAND, AUSTRIA, HOLLAND, POLAND, TURKEY, CANADA, MEXICO, SINGAPORE, PORTUGAL, ALBANIA, BELGIUM, BARBADOS, LATVIA, ROMANIA, CZECH REP., CHILE, SOUTH AFRICA, PANAMA, WALES, SLOVAKIA, MEXICO, URAGUAY, MONACO, PERU, DENMARK, ESTONIA, LITHUANIA, SPAIN, VIETNAM, SAUDI ARABIA, PUETO RICO, PARAGUAY, CROATIA, KUWAIT, COLOMBIA, UKRAINE, BOLIVIA, TRINIDAD, MACEDONIA, LIETCHENSTEIN, CUBA, GUATEMALA, MONGOLIA, ALBANIA, NIGERIA, EL SALVADOR, COSTA RICA, BULGARIA, NEPAL, ISRAEL, SAN MARINO, IRAN, MALDIVES, TAIWAN, EGYPT, ITALY, MOLDOVA and all the other nations of the world, large and small and congratulates also, those who inspire them to continue to excel. Future generations will say that among the most important works of art created in our age were simple line drawings or cartoons having courage or humour, or both. Art communicates directly across language barriers and links hearts and minds in moments that change lives. We of Wy have been delighted by the interest in the principality from artists and lovers of art from all of the above countries.
Wy admires the great drawing tradition of Japan, which runs though it's long history. The woodcuts of Hokusai and Hiroshige and other masters are part of this culture. The work of talented anime and manga artists helps to maintain this ongoing inspiration and revitalise it's energy.
Costume Play, the gentle culture of dressing up, is "art as theatre." It is happiness. We understand that very well in the Principality of Wy and admire the imagination and friendship that Cosplay creates around the world. From Japanthis performance art has spread to America, Europe and China and is now alive in many countries bringing people together. It has been said that all an artist needs is praise. Those who take the trouble to dress up beautifully deserve praise too. Wy is above all, egalitarian. As The Artists' Principality we believe in the level playing field of "the aristocracy of heart and mind". Drawing, painting and make believe, in all cultures, create and bring pleasure to all.
Theme and variations is used in music and poetry and in dressing up to make magic in the interpretation of a character.
It is possibly the oldest art in the world. (See Costume Play at The Principality of Wy -Serene Blog)
To all young artists who will change the world. There is no line on the www that has made Wy more proud than – "One of us: Prince Paul of Wy"on Axis Powers TV Tropes.
Hooray, Hooray for Hetalia!!
Drawing is always understood immediately. In a split second your meaning is clear. Your idea is often a surprise to yourself. Fan Art can be the beginning of a brilliant career. How fortunate is the artist, not needing a record label, like a musician or a publisher, as does a novelist. Do you travel the web and find a glut of information? Drawing is not about information, it is about wonder, limitless wonder.
Art is the instant that transcends time. In Wy we draw every day and in restaurants whilst waiting to be served. A sketchbook is lighter than a camera. And quicker! And permanent!
Wy sends best wishes for your holidays. In the Northern Hemisphere it is good weather to be inside and painting. In the Antipodes (Australia) it is high summer, the cicadas are singing and the beach is the place to be.

Letter from Lola the rabbit. Dear Artists and Costume Players, A magnificent cape and gown was given to P P of W for Christmas. Princesses are impressed. I can hardly wait to more closely examine the particularly attractive shade of green in the train and the amazing abundant (non rabbit) fluffy bits make me even feel more like one of the family.
I am a practical rabbit and have calculated that about 320 rabbits will be able to hide under the train of the cape and publicly graze unseen by rangers (who do not approve of rabbits) as PP of W strolls around in it beyond Wy borders. This is just the admiring opinion of us rabbits. And only our first thoughts. The possums, flying foxes, owls and blue tongue lizards are all scribbling their notes of appreciation. This is truly the cape for all seasons. Lola
TSUNAMI 12 3 11 The Principality of Wy sends deepest condolences to the heroic people of Japan which has been stricken by a massive earthquake and Tsunami.
The Principality is sorrowful for the grievous loss of life in this galvanic force of nature. All those who have their homes on earthquake zones, in great part the Pacific rim – from New Zealand to Chile, from California to Indonesia, are deserving of a special place in the hearts of all mankind.
For Paul's poem for Japan – go to Home Page – "Brave Japan"
Young artists of Japan. An artist is never helpless. Is this the time for you to paint and draw the courage, the kindness and the love that always springs from adversity? Your instinct is to create. The expression of love you quietly conjure up in your home is something mighty that you can do to raise your own spirit and in turn lift the hearts of others – now and in the future. What great works would the incomperable Hokusai be creating now? His legacy is alive and burning in the hearts of all who pick up a brush and paint whether they be Japanese people or those around the world for whom the great master of the wood block is inspiration.
The prince had ordered a new drawing tablet from Japan before the Tsunami struck and was told by his supplier that, alas, he could not provide one as the factory had been damaged. Then he received a call to say there was one – did the prince want it? – yes! yes he did. The Prince has been learning the techniques of twenty first century drawing on it assiduously – and is so respectful of the innovation that comes from brave Japan. Equerry
Right Now! 4 11
There have been a number of world leaders who have dabbled in art. They should have been encouraged. Make art not war. Imagine if all the world leaders were painting in their grand offices right now. They could have a group show at the United Nations. A world at peace would applaud.
Right now we have: easel artists; graphic artists; etchers; manga artists; portrait artists; landscape painters; sculptors; fan artists; chocolate artists; muralists; cartoonists and practitioners working in an ever growing variety of new media in the world today. In the principality we like the passion and depth of oil paint and choose it because it is slow drying and may be worked into. Acrylic paint is wonderful too especially for murals. All media are good in their own way.
Encourage your friends to draw. Give them drawing pads for their birthdays. That is the timeless gift. If those who have not picked up a brush to paint or a pencil to draw knew what joy the artist has splashing around on the canvas they would start right now. Around the world at this instant there are artists, young and old, living fully in the moment of creation. It is their birthday every day.
To paint from life is always pleasant
Time will not impinge a bit
All artists' eyes are on the present
Around the world right now is it!
Paul has written a poem for The Royal Wedding in London
See; Court Circular or Announcements
30 4 2011: Unable to be in London, The Serene Family watched the ceremony in Westminster Cathedral, as did a billion other people around the globe, via the magic window of television, at The Principality of Wy. They toasted the Royal couple with Champagne. The prince was amused by the queries from overseas commentators; "Are those horses real?" and, "Do they hire those men to dress up as soldiers?" The prince observed that, "The wedding was a fantastic display of ancient culture and mystery. All those present came away bearing the liniaments of gratified desire." Equerry
Here is The Principality of Wy Dolphin Flag. The dolphin is regaled with a gilded crown, tummy and tail, and a silver chest and snout against a monastral blue sea. This is a very happy flag to reflect the cheerful, friendly attitude of the principality.
See the poem "The Dolphins" by Geoffrey Lehmann – Serene Blog – Guest Authors – Poetry.
The history of mankind's dominance over planet earth has been a triumph of our intellect over all other species. It seems now, that for the first time, we are thinking of ways we can preserve our planet.
This is good. In attempting to control global warming we may be doing the right thing for the wrong reason or vice versa. The important thing is that we are doing something.
John Keats, the English poet wrote; The sun from meridian height shone into the depths of the sea, and the fishes beginning to sweat cried " Dammit, how hot we shall be".
Could it be the dolphins, with their larger brains, who will tell us the way forward?
November 15th 2011 Wy's birthday!!!
The Principality thanks all the well wishers around the world who have sent their kind thoughts to Wy.
The eighth year of seccession.
The equerries will be posting pictures of the celebrations
Brave Japan, one year later
The Principality of Wy respectfully remembers the anniversary of the magnitude 9 earthquake and Tsunami that struck the north eastern coast of Japan. This tragedy claimed over 15000 lives leaves more than 3000 people unaccounted for. There have been Tsunamis, before in the history of Japan, as represented in the art of Hokusai. The Japanese people have learnt to live with natures unpredictable rages. This in no way diminishes the gravity of this latest shock. Our hearts go out to the brave people of Japan, at their time of remembrance of this sad anniversary. Is there a message of hope that comes from this event – is it possible that all mankind can put aside petty differences and think of how we can make this perilous world we all share a safer place?
Anzac Day
In Australia, a military campaign is remembered, dating from the First World War, by "Anzac Day". All countries have solemn daysof remembrance and the emotion of grief is understood and shared universally. The Principality of Wy has the view that war is an unmitigated evil and ultimately solves nothing. Since the invention and tragic use of the atom bomb there has been no conflict between the major powers. Something has been learnt, but humanity has still a long way to go. We pray that this Pax Atomica persists.
Make art not war.
Sketch of a brilliant young Japanese artist by Prince Paul of Wy
The prince admires the work that a brilliant young artist has done to draw our attention to the lighter side of international affairs in Axis Powers Hetalia.
As a result of his work in manga a generation is growing up around the world having a greater awareness of the historical relationships between countries.
This lucky generation should have a readymade tolerance for cultural difference, vital for peace in the world.
Hooray for hetalia!
Roll over Michelangelo
While her princely father was drawing in a restaurant, which is his custom when waiting for his dinner to arrive, a certain princess, who is as adept with the lens as the brush and never lets an inspirational moment pass by without catching it, snapped her little camera and produced the photo displayed here.
She was absolutely delighted by the juxtaposition of the Michelangelo mural in the background
Cakes Ahoy
As 2012 comes to a close We of Wy wish all our artist friends around the world a wonderful happy time over the holiday season.
In Wy, as you are aware, we value creativity very highly. Here are just a few of the splendid cakes of Wy photographed just before they were consumed by hungry young artists helping to celebrate Prince Paul's 70th birthday. The splendid "Tugboat of Wy" cake has Prince Paul at the helm navigating through perilous seas towards calmer waters.
Rabbits are also highly regarded by Princesses and their friends in Wy.
Could this be because rabbits do not engage in pointless idle chatter when there are creations to be made with brush in paw in their comfortable, splendidly decorated, burrows.
May 2013 be a time of peace, harmony and creativity in the world.
Especially at your place!!
An old friendship remembered
Paul reminisced in his November 2013 talk at the 40 year Anniversary Celebration of the Norman Lindsay Gallery in Springwood near Sydney, about his youthful friendship with the octogenarian artist who was a writer, an oil painter, a ship model builder, a sculptor, a water-colourist, an etcher, an illustrator, a cartoonist and a brilliant raconteur. Art crosses all generations.
Norman once told Paul "An artist can turn his hand to anything". Young imaginative writers, artists and book illustrators are inspired to this day by his wonderful childrens' book, "The Magic Pudding". It was written and illustrated with pen drawings by Norman Lindsay and is still in publication.
Norman was also a painter of vases and ceramics. It was amusing for Paul to be at the gallery with so many people. When it was Norman's house and studio his sole constant companions were cats. He resented the intrusion of people because they took up time from his work. So many artists are happiest in their own company. Well, you can never be alone if you have your art.
Paul painted a vase decorated with dancing figures as a gift to the gallery for the occasion.
Thank you, Thank you – from Wy
The Principality of Wy wishes to thank all those wonderful artists who have sent 2013 Birthday Greetings.
Some artists have sent beautiful drawings. Each of the drawings sent was beautiful in a different way. A charming young lady with a very big paint brush is a favourite subject. Of course, we say in Wy that every day of the year is Wy's birthday because we can draw or paint whether it rains or shines. May your birthday be memorable and the card you send inviting your friends to your party be a marvel of creativity that they will wish to collect and keep forever. Some of the best things we do are done for people we love, don't you think.
Best Wishes for 2014
All at the Principality of Wy, this year celebrating our first Decade of Secession, send best wishes to our friends and supporters around the world.
On New Years Eve the fireworks over Sydney Harbour were again magnificent and Sydneysiders of all ages lined the foreshores to party into the New year. This year, for the first time fireworks were sent skywards from the iconic Sydney Opera House. On the television at Wy we viewed with great delight the vivid displays in other cities. With the refinement of pyrotechnics in colour and shape fireworks are rapidly becoming an awesome art form. It may not be far distant when we see The Mona Lisa recreated in a dramatic fireworks display.
There is no doubt that the painting "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso had a profound impact on the world's perception of the horror of war. Is there a role in 2014 and beyond, for artists in drawing attention to what appears to be a truly global crisis, the ongoing warming of the planet?
Young artists from cold countries like Russia that has a great artistic tradition and bold new world Canada are aware of extremes of climate as are sun baked tropical countries like Brazil. The art of every country is the mirror that each of us shines on one another. Images from spacecraft of our world are the sum total of that beauty. Art speaks all languages.
May your painting, above all, bring you happiness. Art always surprises, yet it is just something we quietly do for ourselves that afterwards others may share.
We of Wy wish you well for 2014

Say goodbye to 'I voted' stickers for the Monticello municipal elections.
Ballots will be distributed by mail for the 2013 municipal election after a May 28 decision by the Monticello City Council.
When the concept of vote by mail was first presented, the council was skeptical of the possible cost. Before long, however, they were optimistic that there will be more voter participation.
Ballots will not be available on Election Day but will be mailed to all registered voters several days before the election. Voters can mail the ballot or turn it in at the city office.
"Pretty soon you'll need your iPad," said Monticello Mayor Doug Allen.
City Recorder Cindi Holyoak said the cost of mailing a printed ballot is approximately $2 each. With 1,100 registered voters, Holyoak said the $2,200 cost to mail ballots is similar to the cost of opening the polls on election day when you consider the cost of training, feeding and paying the election judges.
The hope is that the convenience of mailing in ballots will significantly increase voter participation. If the mailed-ballot experience in county elections is any indication, voter participation will increase.
Utah law has allowed counties to have mailed-ballot voting in some precincts, and it is used in approximately half of the 21 precincts in San Juan County. County Clerk Norman Johnson says it has been a success.
A new Utah law allows municipalities to adopt voting by mail and Monticello is one of the first to adopt the standard.
The Mayor position and two council positions will be on the ballot in November. The sign up period for candidates opens this week and will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, June 7.
Positions are currently held by Mayor Allan, Councilman Craig Leavitt and Councilman Brad Randall are up for reelection.
In other business, City Councilmen Scott Frost told the council that he is staying at a home site outside of city limits during the summer. His primary residence continues to be in city limits.
Frost owns property outside of city limits but within the city expansion zone. He said he may build a home in the coming years. Holyoak reassured the council that Frost's residence is still in city limits.
Paul Krauth, of the Utah Division of Water Quality, addressed the council on the requirements for safe sewer discharge.
Krauth said that high levels of nitrogen phosphorous in a reservoir discharge in the Uintah Mountains killed eight cows. "If it can kill a cow, you can imagine what it can do to us," said Krauth.
The City of Monticello has an efficient lagoon system that rarely discharges. Krauth pointed out that lagoons are slowly fading away and mechanical plants are becoming more efficient to meet discharge expectations.
Summer time is finally here and the city recreation softball season is ready to start. The council encourages players to be aware of power usage when using the field lights to practice. The council mentioned eventually implementing a small fee for use each time the lights are used.

Celia A. Andriello Guests with Mike Angley
MA: I am pleased to welcome today's guest, Celia Andriello. Celia is definitely one of the more colorful authors to guest-blog with me. I will let her tell us more about her.
CA: All of my novels are based on my life experiences be it via my roots in parental abuse beyond anyone's imagination, teaching publically and privately, building creative businesses, trafficking in various products for the benefit of mankind, providing my gift of motivational speeches to various environmental groups and "rights" movements, travel, building the first dream of microcomputers, or just sharing a war with my endearing Viet Nam survivors. Throughout my journey I have been overwhelmed with the inconsistencies of what is said and what is done. My novels are like any fiction; woven into the thread of truth.
MA: That's quite a resume! Tell us how you began writing.
CA: It all began with "Betty Butterfly." (Don't laugh. It's all true.) It was a second grade assignment that my teacher sliced and diced with her red pen. Fortunately the winds transported the prose into another teacher's custody and I was immediately proclaimed "a singular creative writer." I wasn't sure what it meant, but her smile indicated that it was certainly better than the assassinating red pen.
One must grow-up, sort of, and come face-to-face with what it was that created this "gift for fiction." There is nothing like two questionable parents to stimulate the best in their children. Therapy was my greatest teacher.
MA: Why novels?
CA: I stick to the novel format to keep from being sued. It's as simple as that.
MA: Um, okay.
CA: All of my characters have a thread of real character in them. I have known a multitude and revere them through fiction.
MA: What genre do your write?
CA: This has been a devilish question for I really don't know which to choose. For the sake of my sanity I have often fallen back on general fiction; but it's more than that. Hear the Calliope: A sentimental Journey on the Earth Ride (circa 1950 – 1986) lays the foundation of betrayal; family and government, for the latter is a parental construct. Within wounds are exposed and delved into in order for the reader to comprehend the distortions in the adult character after the onslaught(s). At the same time humor is woven into the gore in order to repair the damages for the heroes to develop their own personal "more perfect union with the support of a very unique circle of friends. At the same time all previous dogma is discarded; there is no religion, there is no ethnicity, there is only human.
MA: Tell us about your heroine.
CA: Marinda is a young lady who is neither black nor white, nor does she know her ethnic background. Although she was raised Roman Catholic, she has come to understand that the teachings that she tried desperately to embrace as a child never made much sense to her even though she can recite the verse. Even her name is a misnomer. In order to restructure the world to fit her and her companions' needs she had to be a compilation of the unknown.
Her weakness is her self-doubt created at home through an abusive life style of her parents and supported by her priest. Through her torturous childhood she has come to believe that she is incapable of being loved because she deserves only pain.
On the other hand her strength is her intelligence that takes her through med studies in conjunction with her psychiatric degree. Through her wisdom she is able to re-connect all that meets because she is able to admit that she's struggling through her traumas as well and can share with them what she's learned from being the innocent dupe. Likewise her soul mate, Dale, a survivor of friendly fire learns and enhances her methods with his spiritual knowledge.
Within me is housed the stories of the universe for my experiences have fanned out to touch all directions. It is impossible for me to stop writing. I have tried to not avail. I recently finished KILLER: Is Suicide Painless?
MA: Thanks, Celia for that interesting interview. Folks, visit Celia's blog for more information about her and her writing: http://hubpages.com/hub/HAUDENOSAUNEE-my-faithful-Indian-companion

Neck Lift (platysmaplasty)
Neck lift is cosmetic surgery procedure designed for the tightening of neck skin and underlying soft tissues in order to achieve a more youthful appearance of the neck. It could be combined with other cosmetic surgery procedures.
Who needs a necklift?
During the aging, the effect of gravity, sun exposure and hormonal changes will affect the face and neck. Deep creases, folds and loose skin start to become noticeable in the lower part of the face and Neck. Therefore, the necklift or so-called platysmaplasty procedure is efficient for restoring the youthful shape the lower jaw, and reducing the excess skin of the neck.
The Surgery
There are different cosmetic surgery approaches to perform necklift). This is because the necklift became a popular procedure, and cosmetic surgeons are always trying to improve them techniques to achieve better results. The neck lift takes about 2 hours and is usually performed under general anaesthesia. The cosmetic surgery takes place either at the bridgewater Hospital in Manchester or at the Highgate hospital in London.
Dr Mounir starts by making an incision behind the ear and back on the hairline. Then, the incision continues its run to the front of the ear. A small incision under the chin may also be needed. The main goal of the surgery is to tighten the neck muscle called platysma (platysmaplasty) in order to achieve the desired cosmetic effect. Also, when needed, the necklift will be combined with liposuction.
The Risks
Any cosmetic surgery will carry some risks, it is important for you to assess the benefits and the risks of the necklift. It is important to inform Dr Mounir about any medical conditions such as heart condition, high blood pressure, and Blood clotting problems. This could affect your cosmetic surgery. As with any surgery, the necklift procedure could be subject to complications, which although are rare but do occur. These include bruising, collection of blood beneath the skin, infection, poor wound healing, poor scars, numbness and injury to the nerves that control the movement of the face. We always advise our patients to stop smoking before and after the surgery.
After the Surgery
Usually, necklift could be performed as daycase and you do not need to stay overnight. The stitches are removed after 7 days. Mild discomfort after the necklift procedure is normal but excessive pain is anormal. Bruising, swelling and numbness may persist up to two weeks after the surgery, depending on whether you had liposuction or not. The scars are discreet and placed in the hair or the skin creases around the ears.
They will continue to fade for at least 12 months. The cosmetic surgery out come of the necklift depends on many factors, such as the used surgical technique, patient's age, skin quality, and of course the patient's expectations. Our experience is so, that patients are usually very satisfied and the effects youthful appearance should normally last for 6-12 years.

For Red Sox fans, 1920 started with the devastating news that Babe Ruth had been sold to the Yankees, ushering in the start of a miserable decade for the Red Sox on the field. Still, some good things did happen at Fenway Park in its first year without Ruth, including the park's first boxing match and concert.
Record: 72-81, 5th in American League
Manager: Edward G. Barrow
Attendance: 402,445
In the very first days of 1920, Red Sox fans heard the news: Babe Ruth had been sold to the New York Yankees. Owner Harry Frazee argued that the Red Sox would perform better without Ruth's disruptive influence.
Though many Boston newspapers agreed, Ruth stunned the baseball world by hitting .376 with 54 home runs in his first year with New York. The Yankees scored 260 more runs than they had the previous season, while Boston fans rued the slugger's absence and showered him with applause every time the Yankees visited.
Boston's winning percentage in 1920 was slightly lower than it was the year before, though they did finish one rung higher in fifth place. The team batting average and ERA improved but attendance slipped. The team won its first five home games, but by year's end Fenway Park drew an average of 1,135 fewer fans per game than it had the previous season. With a disappointing 72-81 record, Boston finished 25 ½ games behind first-place Cleveland.
Harry Hooper led the Red Sox in home runs and his seven blasts accounted for nearly a third of the team's total of 22. Newcomer Tim Hendryx led the squad with 73 RBIs and a batting average of .328, while Herb Pennock's 16 wins paced the pitching staff.
The 1920 season was the start of a disappointing decade for the Red Sox and the infamous Ruth transaction foreshadowed the sale of many Red Sox players to the Yankees in the early 1920s.
While 1920 was the start of a difficult decade for the Red Sox, Harvard and Yale played their first Fenway Park game against each other on June 26, 1920. Harvard defeated Yale 6-3 before a crowd of roughly 20,000 patrons.

In May 1920, the Spanish War Veterans hosted a Fenway Park memorial service in tribute to their fallen comrades. Later in the summer, composer John Philip Sousa performed a concert at Fenway Park. The ballpark showcased a wild and raucous boxing show in October that ended with post-fight violence and an angry crowd. Fenway Park also opened its doors to amateur football with high school and college gridiron action during the fall months of 1920.

*Started in the 1910s, a late May memorial service coinciding with the Memorial Day weekend was often held at Fenway Park through the mid-20th Century.
The first boxing event held at Fenway Park was a wild affair held on a beautiful Saturday afternoon that left the 5,000 in attendance stunned by the ferocity of the main bout and its unexpected aftermath.
After heavyweight contender Battling McCreary won a clear 10-round decision over John Lester Johnson, McCreary went over to his opponent's corner to shake hands and was met by what the Boston Globe described as a "stiff wallop to the mouth."
This prompted another fight in which McCreary not only knocked Johnson out of the ring, but also struck Johnson on the head with a stool that McCreary had grabbed from his corner. Fan reaction was immediate and at least one tonic bottle was tossed at McCreary as he scampered to his dressing room.
In other bouts that day, Eddie Shevlin of Roxbury won a 10-round decision over Paul Doyle of New York, "Pal" Reed of Framingham stopped Johnny Alecks of Philadelphia in the eighth round, and Young Sacco of East Boston scored a surprise win over Harry "Kid" Brown of Philadelphia in 10 rounds.
After Boston Latin defeated Mechanics Arts High 18-0 in the first game of the October 12 doubleheader, Dorchester High and Boston English played a thriller in the second contest. English missed the extra-point after its lone touchdown, which was scored in dramatic fashion following a blocked kick. In the fourth quarter Dorchester recovered an English fumble and quickly advanced upfield. Dorchester right halfback George Kinally then rushed for a touchdown and made the point-after kick to give his team a 7-6 victory.

When I blogged a few months ago about the enduring legacy of Blessed John Paul II, in particular the World Youth Day (WYD) that he began to hold every three years around the world during his pontificate, several posts that followed were severely critical. Was I not aware that these were simply youth rock festivals with the Pope as the main celebrity, places where all sorts of dodgy liturgical experiments and wholesale immorality took place? Actually, no I wasn't.
It is always easier to be negative rather than positive – especially when it comes to the Church. I have a tendency to be like this myself, so I know this cast of mind well. But having known personally of several young people who have attended WYDs in the past and whose faith has been shaped by the experience, I share the mindset of the late pope and now of his successor, Benedict XVI, who see these occasions as a joyful public celebration of faith, capable of inspiring young people with memories that last the rest of their lives.
Three of my children were at the WYD in Rome in the year 2000 and were very moved to listen to the aged John Paul II and to witness his own strong faith. Now my grandson, aged 16, has gone to Spain with a party from the Oxford Oratory, led by several Oratorian priests, to attend the WYD in Madrid. My hope is that he will make lasting friends there and come to know and love his faith better. What more could a grandmother want?
Those who hoped that Pope Benedict would quietly drop the WYDs as not being part of his more low-key pontifical "style", compared to his predecessor, have been disappointed. The Holy Father, in a recent speech, addressed such critics head-on: referring to the WYD in Sydney in 2008, he said: "Although fears were expressed beforehand that this mass influx of young people might create some problems for public order – clogging traffic, disrupting daily life, sparking violence and drug abuse – all these fears proved unfounded. The event was a celebration of joy, a joy that in the end spread even to the doubtful…"
The Pope then asked: "What really happens at a World Youth Day?… Popular analyses tend to view these days as a variant of contemporary youth culture, a sort of rock festival in an ecclesial key, with the Pope as its main attraction. Such analyses presume that, with or without faith, these festivals would be basically the same… Even some Catholics would seem to agree, seeing the whole event as a huge spectacle… [which] would really change nothing, nor have any deeper effect on life".
The Holy Father then spoke of the spiritual preparation that preceded this event; the WYD Cross, carried by relays of young people "which becomes an interior encounter with the One who died for us on the Cross"; his own position, not as the star attraction, but as "a Vicar [who] points beyond himself to the Other who is in our midst". Finally, he emphasised the "solemn liturgy [which] is the centre of the whole event: "Christ is present. He comes into our midst. The heavens are rent and the earth filled with light." The "joy" of experiencing a WYD "cannot be compared to the ecstasy of a rock festival," he said. The Pope concluded with pointing out that at WYDs "friendships are formed which encourage a different way of life and which give it deep support".
The Holy Father's words are spot on. Let's cease the jeremiads then, and trying to ferret out anecdotes of youthful debauchery, and pray to Our Lady – as the Pope requests – "to bring the expected fruits to this meeting".

Allan Edson
Canadian, 1846–1888
Cernay-la-Ville, c. 1882
oil on canvas
41.2 x 33.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. Douglas S. McMurray
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
In this French woodland scene, Allan Edson demonstrates the tremendous facility he garnered from his sustained formal studies in Europe. He established a reputation as one of Canada's finest landscape painters during the 1870s, while he was based in Montreal, where his colleagues included Otto Jacobi. In the early 1880s he returned to Europe, settling in Cernay-la-Ville, France, to study with Léon Germain Pelouse, a member of the influential Barbizon school of landscape painting. In this work Edson uses sunlight filtered by a forest canopy to explore a complex interplay of illuminated and dark forms. The artist had only a brief opportunity later to adapt these compositional interests to the Canadian landscape when he returned to Quebec in 1887, as he died the following year.
