WA minimum wage hike hurting small businesses
SPOKANE, Wash. - Washington has the highest minimum wage in the country and starting next week it's going up again.
Starting Jan. 1 workers in Washington will be paid $9.19 an hour, and some local business owners are saying the higher minimum wage is stealing job opportunities.
Oliver Jones, the owner of MOJO Reprographics, a small digital printing business in Spokane, has poured endless hours into his business for over seven years. It's up to him and one other part time employee to handle everything.minimum wage increase WA vo
He would love to hire more people, but with a higher minimum wage he says it's simply just not affordable.
"I would love to have some young guy come down, give me a hand who can learn this industry, build skills at a rate that I can afford," Jones said.
The Washington state minimum wage is set to go up to $9.19 in January. It means stagnation for this small business.
"We don't have a chance to negotiate for a wage less than 9.19. That's just not something I can afford," he said.
Sidney Harmon, a server at The Onion, is seeing her base pay rise by 15 cents an hour, but she's also watching the cost of everything else go up with it.
"The price of food going up, the price of everything else going up," Harmon said,
At $9.19 she will still be working two jobs to make ends meet as she goes to school.
"Minimum wage is not meant to support a family, it's meant to introduce you to the job market and gain and work up from there, she said.
Oregon has the next highest minimum wage in the United States. Next year it will be going up to $8.95.

Pregnant with Suspense
A couple days ago, I woke up to this exciting series of text messages from a unfamiliar phone number.
Because I've not received a reply in the last couple days, because it was a Seattle phone number but I haven't lived in Seattle for years, and because I don't know of anyone in Seattle who was about to give birth, I'm pretty confident that this was indeed a case of misdirected text messages!
But whoever you are: Congratulations! I know it was a mistake, but that really made my day!

Who'd of ever thunk it??
The irony is the people that a lot of the folks that are getting screwed as investors are the same people that put Obammy on the pedestal....just goes to show that most folks don't have a clue as to how the world works.
All those teachers that LOVE BHO are getting screwed via their pensions. I had to explain that to my Obammy loving step-mom who is an assistant Superintendent for a large school district down here.....the look on her face was priceless.
I imagine there have been a few "OY VAY's" coming from the upper West Side in Manhattan.....
I liken BHO's screwing of our country like this......its like he put on a Barry White album and next thing the lady knows her clothes are in a pile next to the bed and she doesn't even remember how it happened.
One of these days a lot of the folks that voted for him will wake up with a headache, stumble home and say to themselves "WTF did I do last night?"
I dont know if Ginsburg is a hero, I think its more that she is doing what a SCOTUS should do and that is follow the law. the BHO administration has ramrodded their policies down the throat of ths American public with executive orders, a house and senate majority and the claim the election is over and they won. The check and balance system of our government is going to be severely tested, its a runaway train with a head of steam and no stoppage in sight
I suspect that President Obama forget to check with Lawyer Obama on the ruling known as Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer. It's a seminal case on the limits of Presidental power and he should have known about it.
Unless someone does some fast talking, a writ may be issued on the Chrysler case and it will be bound over until arguments are heard. It takes but four Justices to issue a writ .... Ginsberg, Roberts, Alito, and Scalia...ta dum! Normally this would be heard in the fall though they could do it on an emergency basis a la Bush v. Gore.
This could be really, really big!
A law student I know ( I know, a student) says the class rooms are watching closely.
WHO is deciding what Chrysler dealerships to close.
(many being closed are and have been very profitable)
WHAT is the criteria used?
HOW does the government have the right to shut down ANY business, profitable or not??
This could get real good.
Frankly, I had about given up.
And of all the people in the world to start this.....Ginsburg??
hope springs eternal regards......
Ginsberg and the rest of the Supreme Court caved late this afternoon to pressure from the White House.
Next industry to be destroyed will be Healthcare.

My comments on the DiLorenzo story are based on the fact that he is anything but a dispassionate historian. He is a CFA propagandist in many respects and his history of Lincoln is a one-sided hatchet job.
My comments on the DiLorenzo story are based on the fact that he is anything but a dispassionate historian. He is a CFA propagandist in many respects and his history of Lincoln is a one-sided hatchet job.
Jeff Goodwin
Lincoln was also quite the racist.
The history books would have you believe he emancipated the slaves because he thought it right.
The fact is, he needed the blacks to fight the war.
and if you google Licoln's speeches, you will find excerpts like, 'although black men should be free, they should never be allowed to vote, or own property. They are not equals to white men.'
Or they 'should not be allowed to interracilly coexist or marry.'
there's a lot of it that proves he only did what was necessary to win the war, and having the black fighters, fighting to be free men, well, they can help tip the scales for sure.
he used the 'n' word in his writings regularly. And even in a formal letter to the President of Haiti used it about one of Haiti's ambassadors. When asked if Lincoln would require a white ambassador from Haiti, he said 'no, you may send a n..'
Amazing how selective history really is...
I guess since nearly a 3/4 of a million casualties to free 4 million slaves was "essential" and worth it, 30,000 US casualties in Iraq to free 24 million people was a bargain

The debate over whether the southern states seceded 'legally' was settled pretty firmly at Appomattox.
As for the feeble attempt to equate Dubya's invasion of Iraq with Lincoln's preservation of the Union -- that is one of the most idiotic things I've seen posted around here yet. And that is a high bar.
If this is what passes for an intelligent thought in the Republican party, then that pretty much explains up why the party is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

If freeing 4 million with a quarter million casualties was worth it, freeing 24 million with 30,000 casualties is a bargain by comparison.
1) The South may not have had 'Appomattox as a precedent'. But, we have it as a precedent now. So, to argue that secession is 'legal' is patently absurd.
2) I wasn't aware that there were 24 Million people in Iraq who were owned as property (forced into hard labor, children taken from their mothers and sold to the highest bidder, etc). It is a false moral equivalency, and patently absurd.
Who are you to judge idiocy, what is your name, occupation and merit.
You are but one person typing the thoughts of others from whom you have developed your political leanings, while hiding behind an anonymous handle and a keyboard.
Obviously you have learned the rules of engagement of the left, Demean and/or talk over the person who holds other views other than your own.

Depression numbs and immobilizes. You may feel stuck, without light, hope, or energy. This phenomena is both physical and mental. Dr. Staat can help you get unstuck by teaching you to deal with both sides: (1) to notice and change negative thought patterns; and, (2) to pay attention to how suppressed emotions express themselves through your body. Learning to express thoughts and release suppressed feelings can lead to permanent recovery. Medication can also be an important adjunct to treatment, especially when depression is severe.

Conference marks opening of Hudson Review archives, Nov. 3
Posted October 18, 2007; 04:01 p.m.
The official opening of the Hudson Review archives and Frederick Morgan papers in the Princeton University Library will be marked with a conference celebrating the literary magazine and its principal founding editor at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
The conference, titled "Writers, Editors and Literary Magazines, 1947-2007: A Conversation in Honor of the Hudson Review," will feature a keynote address by Dana Gioia, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. Gioia's address will be followed by a roundtable discussion about the role of the Hudson Review and other influential literary magazines in shaping American letters over the past 60 years.
The panel, moderated by Princeton history professor Anthony Grafton, will include: history professor Sean Wilentz and English professor Michael Wood of Princeton; English professor William Pritchard of Amherst College; philosophy professor Emily Grosholz of Pennsylvania State University; Paula Deitz, editor of the Hudson Review; David Orr, a 1996 Princeton alumnus and poetry critic; and Lea Carpenter, a 1995 alumna and former deputy publisher of the Paris Review.
At 4:30 p.m., Firestone Library's main gallery will host a reception and an exhibition of selected items from the Hudson Review archives and the papers of Morgan, a 1943 alumnus who edited the magazine for half a century after founding it in 1948 with fellow Princeton graduates Joseph Bennett and William Arrowsmith.
The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Princeton University Library.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Just got back from an outing in the northern most area of Wisconsin and attempted several leader materials for pike. I found the seagar 40 lb worked pretty well and it turned over the very heavy wind resistant flies OK. No bite offs but after some fish you had to cut off the end and re-tie if you were prudent. I was very disappointed in some specialty tapered leaders for bass flies. They just wouldn't do it for the larger very wet flies that we were throwing.
|Dble Haul
|You can use mono in 50 pound test, but it won't be as abrasion resistant or inconspicuous in the water as fluoro of the same pound test. This isn't just personal opinion....it's physical properties of the materials.
|Just went back and read the past posts . . . very helpful. Just one question, is it important to use fluorocarbon or will other types of monofilament (like Maxima or Mason) work just as well in 50 lb test?
|Dble Haul
We had a lengthy discussion on pike leaders a few months ago....check for a thread titled "Pike leaders" or something to that effect right here in the warmwater section...it was about 3 pages long.
FWIW, a friend and I used 50lb Seagaur fluoro on a recent trip and put it through the paces with all sizes of fish, and we knocked off about a dozen good sized smallies with the same shock tippet. It seemed to be pretty universal and nearly invisible in the water. If you get a chance, check out the Ontario fishing report I started about a month ago right here in the warmwater section.
Regardless of your choice for leader material, good luck and let us know how it works for you.
Best mono for Pike?
I've been using wire leaders for pike, but I think I want to try mono so I have a better chance of catching a few bass while I'm pike fishing . . .
So . . . any recommendations for brand and pound test? Can I use the 40 lb Maxima Chameleon I use for salmon leaders or do I need to go out and buy something different?
Thanks for any advice . . .

I had a love marriage. My husband has a dark complexion, while I am of wheatish golden color. My mother-in-law, like every other typical Indian family, was preoccupied with the color of my skin and desired a light-skinned grandchild. She was convinced that my child would have a dark complexion, due to my wheatish skin color. A country like ours places a huge importance on fair skin and because of this I was determined to protect my child from the distress of being put through 'fairness tests' throughout his/her life.
The 'Natural Brite Kit' was the perfect solution and it saved me. It only required me to follow specific diet patterns and the intake of certain oral supplements in the sixth month of my pregnancy. And luckily, some months later, a daughter with fair, light skin was born to me. My mother-in law was very happy, all thanks to the 'Natural Brite Kit'.
This case is only one of the many victories of 'Natural Brite Kit', from the large number of people who have used it successfully. This treatment includes the use of herbal treatment and bach flower in its remedies, and comes under Ayurvedic treatment. Not only is it an agent for cleansing, but it also conducts a purification of the body.
This treatment must be administered over a period of one month before the sixth month of pregnancy. The result is that your baby develops fair and smooth skin. The ideology of Ayurveda is that the body can be healed by maintaining a balance of the natural forces within it. And thus, this herbal medication includes healing powers. Ayurveda is an ancient science that boasts of vast aptitude and knowledge in preventive remedies as well as effective therapy.
Though we do not wish to portray dark skin as any being less than fair skin, in this country, fair skin is viewed as an asset. The fact that relatives ask if the infant is fair skinned or not is just one example that proves this point. This medication assures the child better opportunities and an improved present as well as future.
Is this form of treatment safe?
An all encompassing trial was taken of 1200 pregnant women, who were administered with both, a naturopathic diet as well as Bach flower. With a 97% success rate, a study of over five years resulted in 1169 of 1200 women giving birth to fair skinned babies.
What are the contents of the 'Natural Brite Kit'?
They are;
Herbal supplements
A booklet of literature on this topic
The booklet is an extensive source of data about the principles and mechanisms of action of the "Ayurveda and Bach flower therapy", the panel of doctors as well as the details of prescriptions for oral supplements.
The herbal medications in the package include:
Suprabhavati Tablets
Apple Grow Pills
Shubangakalp Granules
What is the process of treatment?
The aim of the treatment is the gestation period for pregnant women in the 6th month. The procedure of this form of treatment includes a rigidly controlled diet. Dressing in dark colored clothing is prohibited during this period and overexposure to the sun should be avoided at all costs; these rules should be observed strictly. Along with this, certain supplementary intakes are a must. The details of how to use them are mentioned in the booklet and the supplements have been divided into three different parts.

Hi, my daughter is 9 months old and she is every time suffering from fever and sardi khansi even every one and two months she has fever and sardi and khansi I visited doctors many times but a doctors told me she is okay but why she has like that.
My child regular motion problem. If he used dulolax supporters ,he is getting motion. Doctor suggested internal sphincterotomy surgery. What should I do.
When you hold your new born in your arms for the first time, you will count him or her as the greatest blessing of your life. This is also the time when you are burdened with the responsibilities of another human. The sleep patterns in new-borns are erratic and you will never see them follow any pattern as such. They sleep off just about any time of the day and you will not see any pattern until about your angel is about 6 to 7 weeks old. After that age, they get quite adaptable and you will be able to get him or her adapted to certain patterns. This will make things very easy for you and your partner.
So why won't your baby sleep?
1. Your baby is too excited to fall asleep
Babies are a powerhouse of energy. Activities like tossing him in the air or giving him an exciting bath full of fun and frolic will probably do the opposite of winding him down. It will make him more excited and he will not want to go to bed thinking he would miss out on the other fun activities that are in store for him.
Solution: Replace the fun tickles with other activities like comforting massages or story time and lullabies. Dim the lights, cosy up the room. Make it a routine and you will find your baby easing into a deep slumber in no time.
2. Your baby is too sensitive to the external or internal environment
Every baby is not a sound sleeper. Some babies may jolt awake with just a simple nod, others may dose off amidst noise and screams as well. If your baby is of the first kind, then you may face a bunch of troubles to keep your baby calm and cosy. You may bother your baby's sleep if your phone starts to ring around her or by the constant honking of cars outside.
Solution: Keep her surroundings as warm and comfortable as possible. Keep her in a room that is away from the bustling noise of the cars, if possible or sound proof her room. Start by dimming the lights and getting her comfortable clothes that will keep her free when she is sleeping. Keep her sheets and pillows clean and ensure they do not remain wet.
3. Your baby snacks in the middle of the night
As it was mentioned before, babies have erratic schedules. They can get hungry or cranky just about any time of the day. Mid-night snacking is probably numero uno reason as to why your baby will not fall asleep at night. If you feed your baby to sleep every time, he or she might associate it with nursing.
Solution: It is okay to train your baby to comfort itself in the middle of the night. Whenever it may think it is hungry, he or she will cry and expect you to nurse him to sleep. Put him in the nursery when he is relatively sleepy to allow him to fall asleep all by himself. You may stand by till he does, but do not swaddle him.

Babies are fragile and need special care. In case of babies that are born prematurely, the amount of attention needed increases many fold and parents need to be extra careful and attentive. A baby born before 37 weeks of pregnancy is said to be a premature baby. The earlier the baby is born, the higher the risk of complications.
Most premature babies spend the first few days after birth in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This is because they may have trouble breathing and may need help maintaining body heat. Though you may feel helpless watching your baby, it is important to spend time with your baby while he or she is in the NICU. Talk to the baby and touch him or her. As soon as your doctor allows, carry your baby while allowing him or her to have maximum skin to skin contact.
It is important to breastfeed a premature baby. Breast milk is the richest source of nutrition for your baby and is easy to digest. It is also rich in antibodies that help boost a bay's immunity and protect them against a number of infections. If you cannot feed your baby directly, pump your breast milk and store it in sterilised bottles to be given to the baby. Premature babies can get critically ill very fast. To prevent this from happening, it is important to build a good rapport with your baby's doctors and keep a close eye on your baby. Maintaining a journal can help you recognise changes in your baby's development. Watch out for subtle signs that your baby could be falling ill. Some of these signs are:
- A distended abdomen
- Dry the diapers frequently
- Frequent vomiting
- Blood in the stool
- Temperature instability
- Lethargy and unresponsiveness
- Change in breathing
In some cases, the mother may be discharged before the baby. This may seem very difficult, but does not need to limit your time with your baby. Caring for a premature baby is tough and hence use the time away to rest and recuperate. Remember that your baby is in safe hands and do not let yourself get too stressed.
Your baby will be ready to come home once he or she can breathe on their own and is able to maintain a steady body temperature. Your doctor may also wait until the baby can be breastfed and begins gaining weight before discharging him or her. Once the baby is home, do not attempt to be the sole caregiver but involve your family in building a team of caregivers. This will keep you from getting burnt out and will ensure that your baby is constantly monitored.

The apartment is nice and has a super location close to the opera and with easy access to many of the major turist attractions in Budapest. However when we arrived, one of the three rooms was not available - it was locked off and used for drying wet laundry! it apparently came as a surprise that we wanted to make use of all three rooms We were promised that someone would come the same day to clean the room and make the bed. Unfortunately this did not happen until the following day.
On the plus side we were allowed to keep our luggage in the apartment on the day of our departure.
Excellent location! A lot of space! Laundry machine and full kitchen. Great bakery across the street, two minutes to the metro station, the best pizza( Da Mario) just down the street.
Very quiet. Air condoned.
The only problem we had...where do you throw away the garbage.
It was a great stay, thank you Alexandra.
We enjoyed our stay at Alexandra's apartment which is very spacious with a nice kitchen, 1 bathroom and a large living-area. They offer WiFi. We never saw Alexandra but she was reachable through Wimdu chat. 2 things to improve, the beds could be improved and the doors are very noisy, need some oil. The apartment location is excellent, close to the Metro and Basilica San Esteban.
Alexandra was very kind all the moments we were in Budapest. The apartment was the same that in the photos, is really well located in the middle of the city so it´s so easy to move around Budapest. We really enjoy our trip, and Alexandra is a good way to be in Budapest if you want to have a comfortable stay.

THE ART OF SEAN SCULLY: A human spirituality
The work of Sean Scully affirms our need and capacity as human beings to have spiritual affiliation with each other. The artist's sensitivity to enduring truths is spoken through the language of abstraction. The nature of Scully's practice is a ritualistic, determined pursuit of the multiple possibilities of his chosen subject matter — vertical and horizontal (rarely diagonal) stripes and blocks of layered colour. His paintings, watercolours, pastel drawings and photographs offer different ways to explore and come to an understanding of his art. Scully's everyday life informs his work in the manner of a continuous colour landscape. The source for much of his abstraction is in his architectural and urban environment; in turn, his abstract paintings affect the ways both he and his audience review their everyday world. As he declared in 1979, in the first major critical account of his work:
The power of abstract painting today … lies in a constant exchange and perpetual transformation of the physical state into a visual, emotional and mental state, and back again. It is closely aligned to the human situation.1
The catalogue of the landmark exhibition, The Spiritual in Art: Abstract painting 1890–1985, organised by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1986, makes not a single mention of Sean Scully.2 This is remarkable, given that Scully had already acquired a reputation for work that powerfully evokes the human spirit. Donald Kuspit, in his essay for the Los Angeles catalogue, noted that spirituality in art was better understood in 1912 when Wassily Kandinsky's Über das Geistige in der Kunst (Concerning the Spiritual in Art) was published.3 Kandinsky wrote that art is 'one of the mightiest elements' in 'the spiritual life … a complicated but definite and easily definable movement forward and upwards'.4
Over the thirty years of his practice Scully has found himself on the unfashionable side of contemporary art, where there seems to be even less concern for art as an expression of what Kandinsky called 'inner necessity'.5 Abstract art is always a 'harder sell' than representational works of figurative or landscape subjects. But a reasonable case can be made that there is no such thing as an abstract painting, that all abstract painting is based on reality. Conversely, it can be said that all reality is open to abstraction: when looking closely at anything, its intimate details become apparent. The whole becomes abstracted into parts; those parts into even smaller parts. Mark Rothko argued that his abstract shapes can be stand-ins for figures. In 1947 he wrote: 'I think of my pictures as dramas: the shapes in the pictures are the performers. They have been created from the need for a group of actors who are able to move dramatically without embarrassment and execute gestures without shame.'6(see fig.1) Scully quoted this famous statement in a perceptive review of the Rothko exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 1998, and added that it was Rothko's 'most original pronouncement … it suggests the human and figurative element of his apparently abstract art'.
Here Scully implies that his own application of blocks and stripes of colour is akin to Rothko's use of coloured floating forms — Rothko called them 'organisms with volition and a passion for self-assertion. They move with an internal freedom, and without need to conform with or to violate what is probable in the familiar world … in them one recognises the principle and passion of organisms.'8
Scully's understanding of life as an abstraction identifies with Plato's philosophical underpinning of abstract art in Philebus: 'I do not now intend by beauty of shapes what most people would expect, such as that of living creatures or pictures, but … straight lines and curves and the surfaces or solid forms produced out of these by lathes and rulers and squares … These things are not beautiful relatively, like other things, but always and naturally and absolutely.'9 It is in this sense that Scully can make his case for abstract art as the universal art.
True to his determination to 'break down structures', the spiritual intensity of Scully's paintings is unconstrained by line. Marking a break between one colour and the other, his signature tentative lines appear to be enervated. This characteristic, with his energetic layering of colour upon colour, causes the surfaces of his paintings to vibrate and to 'open' up before the viewer.
The blocks of colour in Scully's paintings are indeed volatile and passionate organisms, to use Rothko's analogy. Scully learned from the Abstract Expressionists that, although he did not paint figuratively, he could embody human figuration within his chosen abstract style. The character of each of his paintings could be distinctive, just as each human being is individual. The Abstract Expressionist who negotiated this relationship between the representational figure and abstract colour forms most intensely was Willem de Kooning (see fig.2). In a remarkable two-sided painting on fibreboard of 1948 (now in the collection of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC), de Kooning painted Woman on the recto and, on the verso, an Untitled abstract image that carries the unmistakable character of the woman figure. As de Kooning asserted:
While the choices faced by Scully have been similar to those confronted by de Kooning, his preference has been to abstract the figures without qualification.
Even in his most resolutely abstract work the memory of the figure is embedded into the surface. This I could say of myself.12
The émigré experience has had a strong influence on Scully as a painter. Just as life's relationships can be made and broken — the birth or death of a child, the loss of a parent, the end of a marriage, the leaving of a city, the leaving of friends — the abstract, coloured shapes in Scully's paintings engage in relationships of harmony and disharmony. In this way much of his work can be read as distinctly autobiographical. Life cannot be negotiated in isolation.
The foremost characteristic of Sean Scully's art is a spirit of engagement. His works are wonderful colour poems that take us beyond the limits of everyday life. As a fellow Irishman, it is tempting for me to say that this is his 'Irishness' coming through and, although he is quick to eschew nationality as a badge of identity, he is indeed a born conversationalist who would be at home in any Irish pub. His love of the written word is reflected in the titles of some of his works with their references to literary sources, such as the work of Joseph Conrad and James Joyce. He is obsessed by the spiritual dimension of things, like others who have left Ireland and know it having grown up in communities abroad. He does not, however, have much time for organised religion.
Holly 2004 is Scully's memorial to his mother. In its chapel-like arrangement of fifteen canvases, Holly evokes the Stations of the Cross — the fourteen representations of Christ's journey to Calvary that line the interior of Catholic churches. As in a church, Scully's paintings — one large and fourteen identically-sized, smaller canvases — run along the walls of an enclosed, rectangular gallery. The larger canvas hangs at one end of the space, with two of the smaller canvases at the opposite end and the remainder lining each side wall. The colours of Scully's 'Stations', in their austere beauty, dance with each other as in a pas de deux — just as his mother danced the tango with his father when they moved to Spain from England. It is significant that Scully's mother's affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church broke down. Though the works mask the hardship she endured during her life, one senses echoes of the prayer every Irish Catholic boy learned about 'this valley of tears'. At his mother's funeral Scully read the elegiac poem by William Butler Yeats, The Arrow, which concludes: 'This beauty's kinder, yet for a reason/ I could weep that the old is out of season.'14
Holly brings to mind Barnett Newman's forceful Stations of the Cross 1958–66 (National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC), but Scully aspires to a modest and understated presentation in comparison. Also relevant are the late works of Rothko in the Menil's chapel in Houston, Texas. Rothko painted Homage to Matisse in 1954 as a tribute to the master he had so admired. Matisse had set the chapel precedent with his late masterpieces of 1948–51, designed as a total work of art — the architecture, stained-glass windows, ceramic tiles, murals, altar decorations and liturgical vestments — for the Chapel of the Rosary at Vence in the south of France. Matisse said of it: 'This chapel, modest as it was, appeared to me as clear and limpid as a maiden.'15 Matisse's chapel, unlike those of Rothko and Scully, has always been a consecrated place of worship. It may be significant that in the most recent major publication about Scully's work, David Carrier noted that, despite Scully's ambivalence towards organised religion, he would love to make works for a church. Writing before the Holly series was painted, Carrier commented that 'his paintings could make wonderful Stations of the Cross'.16
Abstract art has offered Scully the opportunity to engage with the artistic tradition of Cimabue, Giotto, Piero della Francesca and the icons of Orthodox Christianity, as well as with all aspects of daily life, without having to burden himself with representational references. For Scully works of art are not objects of veneration. It is people who matter, and their constant struggle as human beings within the confines of daily existence.
Scully's central preoccupation is with human spirituality. He insists that the art world, so distracted with the lure of commerce, reputation, shock value and the latest trends, should be forced to deal with his resolute presentation of the human spirit in painting. There is nothing saintly in Scully's endeavour. It is rooted in this world.
Scully has a devotion to the tradition of craftsmanship, whether in the making of his stretchers (prepared by his brother Tony who lives in London), the preparation of his paints, the slow build-up of his surfaces, or in the determination that only his own hand should be in his paintings. The perseverance required to pursue a constant routine of painting with such apparently limited subject matter is indicative of Scully's stubborn, resolute character. He found karate, in which he gained a black belt in 1988, to be a good complement to the discipline required for his painting. There is in his character a strong self-belief, a determination which is ever earnest. His willingness to share his thoughts about his art reveals both his belief in its importance and his personal humility. Scully has been a stalwart beacon for the spiritual in art, aware of his own human frailty and prepared to make public the steps of his private journey in pursuit of his goal.
Scully's most recent paintings have become ever more poetic and mysterious. The highest form of spiritual art aspires to the sacred and has a timeless quality. It explores the capacity of colours to have effects on the emotions and the psyche. In his Theory of Colour 1810 Goethe investigated not only the physical properties of colour but also their moral effects.20 It is little wonder that Scully's stated artistic debts are to masters of colour, in particular Mondrian, Matisse and Rothko. His personal revelation took place on a trip to Morocco in 1969 when he was captivated by strips of dyed wool (about fifteen centimetres wide and up to two hundred and forty-four centimetres long), which were hanging on wooden bars ready to be used to make rugs. He also saw, laid out on the sand, strips of coloured canvas. He recalled later: 'Against the yellow sand, they created exotic and arbitrary colour relationships so unique … I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life.' 21
Exhibition makers have attached titles to exhibitions of Scully's work such as Light and gravity that seek to represent seemingly contradictory facets of the artist's work, especially his preoccupation with the materiality of light.22 Scully has engaged with this apparent dichotomy in his Wall of Light series — one painting in this series is titled Stone light 1992. The title he gave to his review of the 1998 Rothko exhibition at the Whitney Museum 'Bodies of light' is too emphatic for his own work. Our preferred title for this exhibition in Australia, Body of light, has been chosen in appreciation of the immanence dwelling at the heart of Scully's work. The vehicle employed by Scully to achieve his ends is paint. Variations in texture and colour, achieved with the artist's five-inch brush, allow those who engage with his colour dialogue to become involved intensely with physical objects. This is the absurdity to which de Kooning referred, and it is the challenge all serious painters face every day in the studio. Scully has elaborated on the role of colour in his work:
Sean Scully's art is a sublime gift to the early twenty-first century. Now aged fifty-nine, he lives between New York, Barcelona and Munich, where in 2002 he became Professor of Painting at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. He believes that his role as a teacher is to provide students with the opportunity to be validated and empowered as painters. In his work he continues to refrain from telling stories, dictating truths or moralising. The work itself is an invitation to conversation, to a dialogue through colours and forms, talking of regularity and irregularity, harmony and disharmony, parents and children, marriage and divorce, unity and separation, communion and isolation.
To achieve great ends indeed requires a great aim. Sean Scully has been 'trying to get at deep emotions through simple forms'.25 He has never given up seeking to realise his lofty ambition and, as with only the greatest of artists, his work continues to gain depth, strength and maturity. He remains totally committed to painting and its place in contemporary life.
It seems entirely appropriate that Scully should today be teaching in Munich, home of the celebrated Lenbachhaus, with its glorious collection of works of the Blaue Reiter group, and particularly its display of the work of Kandinsky. Sean Scully is surely the painter who has done more than most since Kandinsky to promote the spiritual in art.

Liver Cancer
The liver is located in the right side of the abdomen. It stores and metabolizes nutrients. It also filters and stores blood. Liver cancer is the growth of cancer cells in the liver. Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. These tumors can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
The cause of liver cancer is not known. Research shows that certain risk factors are associated with the disease.

- If you use needles to inject medication or drugs, always use a clean needle. Do not share needles with anyone.
- Use condoms when having sexual intercourse if you or your partner is not in a monogamous relationship or if you don't know if your partner has hepatitis.
- Have children vaccinated against hepatitis B.
- Eat a healthy diet that includes white meat and fish.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase you chance of liver cancer include:
- Sex: male
- Age: 40 and older
Infection with the
hepatitis B
virus or the
hepatitis C
Formation of scar tissue in the liver, also known as
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Malnutrition
- Obesity
- Exposure to an infectious agent, such as a liver fluke, which are found in southern Pacific countries
- Hemochromatosis
—abnormal collection of iron in body tissues
- Hereditary metabolic disorders such as alpha-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and tyrosinemia
Exposure to certain chemicals:
- Aflatoxin—a substance made by a fungus that often infects wheat, peanuts, soybeans, corn, and rice in tropical and subtropical regions
- Vinyl chloride and thorium dioxide—chemicals that are strictly controlled
- Anabolic steroids—male hormones sometimes given for medical reasons, but also taken by athletes to increase strength
- Arsenic
—a toxic chemical

Symptoms of liver cancer in the early stages are vague. They often go unnoticed.
Liver cancer can cause the following symptoms:
- Loss of appetite
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Abdominal pain and swelling
- Nausea
- Dark urine
- Excessive itchiness of the skin
- Confusion and increased sleepiness
- Yellowing of the skin and/or the whites of the eye
These may also be caused by other, less serious health conditions. See a doctor if you have these symptoms.
If liver cancer is found, staging tests are done. This will help find out if the cancer has spread and, if so, to what extent. Surgery is the only procedure used to try to cure liver cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can reduce symptoms associated with the cancer. They are not considered able to cure liver cancer by themselves.
- Surgery—removal of the cancerous tumor and nearby tissue, and possibly nearby lymph nodes
- Cryosurgery—destroys tumors by freezing them with a metal probe
- Ethanol ablation—kills cancer cells by injecting alcohol directly into the tumor
- Radiation therapy
—the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may be:
- External radiation therapy—Radiation is directed at the liver from a source outside the body.
- Internal radiation therapy—Radiation is placed as close as possible to the cancer cells. Radiation seeds or compounds are delivered directly to the tumor through a special catheter that is placed in the hepatic artery, which delivers blood to the liver.
- Radiofrequency ablation
—This involves using heat to destroy the tumor. Imaging machines are used to guide the probe to the tumor site.
- Chemotherapy
—drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body to kill mostly cancer cells and some healthy cells; may be given by pill, injection, and via a catheter directly into the liver
- Sorafenib—a new class of therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF); used for advanced liver cancer
- Biological therapy—the use of medications or substances made by the body to increase or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer; also called
biological response modifier (BRM) therapy

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Vander Meer those guys tonight Bailey!!!

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
Do you think if someone broke into Cozart's home and wrote "267 OBP" in permanent marker on Cozart's forehead Dusty would still bat him 2nd in the lineup?
I wouldn't consider doing that or anything...
ProfessorTofty (07-08-2013)
OBP doesn't matter, haven't you heard?
Looks like they changed the lineup. Mes/Mez/Rocco instead of Hanigan.

I'm anxious to hear your impressions of the dvd set. I like the concept of following the dogs for 3 years as they progress through training. I think the differences (US vs. UK) in training techniques as well as the differences in training goals would be interesting to see as well. I agree with Jennifer H. that watching good looking dogs in beautiful countryside might make the purchase worthwhile and any nuggets of wisdom would be a bonus!
Jeff Swackhamer
I watched the first two dvd's lasnight. The first dvd is mostly starting with a young pup and the rights and wrongs of early age. As I don't have any dogs under 4 years I am mostly interested in the advanced training which is starting more in the 2nd dvd. He has some good training advice and shows working through some interesting problems with young dogs. I am anxious to watch the 3rd dvd tonight , as they say it's now getting down to the nitty gritty
Don't trust anyone who would rent a pig !
Never saw feedback on the 3rd and 4th DVDs?
-Barton Ramsey
So, where is that list of the FTCH dogs this "guru" fellow made in the UK? Titles is titles, as they say. Very curious as to how many titles it takes to be a "guru."

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

If each CD has a bottle of Jameson taped to the case I think I could make it through the series. After watching it and drinking I'd be training using my Irish voice......oooooo-ver? bahh-ak!....

Indian life science is leveraging on increasing sales of generic medicines, continued growth in chronic therapies and greater penetration in rural markets
Leveraging on the back of increasing sales of generic medicines, continued growth in chronic therapies and a greater penetration in rural markets, the Indian pharmaceutical market is expected to register a strong double-digit growth of 12-to-14 percent in 2013, although the year 2012 closed with a growth of less than 10 percent, according to BioSpectrum Asia Top 20 Survey. The Indian pharmaceutical market has seen many policy initiatives, compulsory licensing, FDI policy, pricing policy, marketing code and regulatory approvals - from the regulatory agencies in 2012.
During 2012, through the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO), the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA), cleared the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Policy 2012. Unlike the current cost-based pricing policy, this new policy is market-based, and seeks to control prices of all strengths and dosages of 358 drugs and their combinations that fall into the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM). The price control will also be applicable to imported medicines, if these drugs also fall in the list of essential medicines.
Furthermore, the government is keen to promote indigenous research in the country. Original research products that have a patent in India will get exemption from price control for five years. The government is expected to come out with the new Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) in 2013.
The Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, which is India's intellectual property office, had in March 2012, allowed Hyderabad-based Natco Pharma to make and sell the generic version of Bayer's patented cancer treatment Nexavar. This allowed Natco to sell generic version at three percent of the original medicine's price for a month's dosage. This has received mixed reaction from different state holders like industry, policy makers and NGOs.
Also, the Supreme Court in a landmark judgment ruled against Novartis in the Glivec case by rejecting its plea for the grant of a patent for its drug molecule, imatinib mesylate. Novartis had applied for a patent for the beta-crystalline version of the drug, on the basis of increased safety due to the modifications in the chemical entity, which was denied by the apex court on April 1, 2013.
Since last year, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has withdrawn from its role of approving drug trials and has handed over the responsibility to a new Drug Advisory Committee (NDAC), which has approved only nine drugs for clinical trials, according to a PwC report. Due to frequent regulatory delays, rise in the costs of conducting trials, India is losing its feasibility as a cost-effective destination to conduct clinical trials as compared to many countries. According to reports, new drug approvals dropped by over 50 percent during 2011 to 98 from 224 in 2010.

Mowed, trimmed, got cleaned up and then went for a dinner cruise on the potomac down in DC.
Mowed, trimmed, got cleaned up and then went for a dinner cruise on the potomac down in DC.
I was on a ship, sailing down the Alaskan coast in what's called the Inside Passage. Played a game of trivia and lost by one question (said Quincy Jones and not Lionel Richie as co-writer with Michael Jackson on "We Are the World" ), won one of the five photo caption contents on board (and came in 2nd on three others) earning me a mini photo album. Took plenty of pictures of the views onside. Ate a nice dinner, watched the song & dance show and then the finals of the karioke competition (not as bad as one might think it would be), packed my suitcases (who knew the big one'd be "lost" the next day? ), and went to bed with it still fairly light outside at 10pm.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Not as impressive as last week's Saturday schedule.
Slept in (to a legitimate 7am time), put away yesterday's curbside trash cans and put up the canvas cover on the backyard canopy supports (it gets wickedly windy here, so when it's not too hot, the cover's more dangerous than cooling). Headed out for shopping (no SW figures to be found, but some soap/chips/gravy made it in the bag courtesy of coupons about to expire). Waited at the local FedEx shipping office (that apparently isn't open on weekends, despite the lack of a sign on the window) to see if I could get my missing luggage package today, instead of waiting for its scheduled delivery on Monday; no dice ) and read in my car in the shade. Worked on the digital photo folder from vacation (it's over 2200 pictures) to decide which to print/crop/shrink. Read some, watched a little TV, made dinner, relaxed.

Bel-Cam, I really liked both your Saturdays but yeah, the cruise sounded great!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Went golfing with a buddy, then we went out to eat and had a few adult flavored bevorages.
In the morning I ran the Chuckanut Foot Race (7 miles) and ran nearly 45 seconds faster than last year (about 6:42 per mile). In the evening, my girlfriend and I went with my brother's family to watch dirt track racing at Skagit Speedway. Only the second time I had ever been there (the last time was 1991 I think), and the first time my girlfriend had been there. Now I am going to take a shower to wash all the dirt off me.
Dirt removal is a great weight-loss program!
Ran the sprinklers, ate breakfast, did the crossword. Some errands (fruitless shopping, get gas, return & check out library books), amid awful drivers on the roads. Attended a neighbor's 5-year old's birthday party (great food and cake, could've solved the state's electric power woes by hooking up a generator to each kid's back). Read some, TV'd some.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Ran, hit the farmers market, ate, relaxed, bought some shoes and worked.

For any of you fellow paintballers out there - how cool do you think it'd be to have some quality licensed Star Wars paintball guns?
Imagine taking to the fields with a Stormtrooper blaster, or a Clone Trooper rifle, or even a Battle Droid blaster! I don't get to play very often, but I would love to see these!

One way to slow down a running QB is to shake him up early. OU was trying way too hard to avoid a Personal Foul and letting him slide late. If you let him run freely without trying to take his head off he'll do just that and that's what happen. Sometimes a late hit may be in order.
Not that it would have mattered really, OU's defense was laughable.
I'm not making excuses BTW, I hate OU and loved every snap of this game. I just noticed OU's defense pulling up and unwillingness to HIT SOMEBODY! especially Johnny F.

It was hard not to feel cheerleaderish during Saturday's inaugural BOSTON BOOK FESTIVAL, which crammed 90 authors into 40 or so hour-long programs in and around Copley Square, and drew lines-around-the-block crowds for . . . well, people talking about and reading from books.
