Is Clutter Keeping You Back Financially?
If Spring time is the only time Americans begin to mention cleaning, I have NO idea what the heck is going on during the rest of the year. If you're like many Americans who contribute to the $22 billion per year storage space industry, its likely that you are up to your eyeballs with stuff you don't need otherwise known as clutter.
Most over consuming Americans reportedly have almost $900 worth of unused and unwanted items sitting around their home. What could you do with $900 right now? What is the mound of clutter in your life holding you back from? Well, besides an audition for the show Hoarders, you may be missing out on the establishment of a savings fund, investment opportunities, books for your college kid next semester, a summer vacation . . . . Need we go on?
Here are 5 Ways to Finally Kick Clutter to the Curb . . . And, Make Some Cash!
- Sell Old Gold – I know you might think that you're saving that gold nugget ring from '78 or perhaps that coveted rope chain from the 80s because they're back in style, but the reality is if you're in debt or don't have any savings, it may be best to see if your prized collection of tangled necklaces and broken clasps can earn you some cash. There are tons of places that allow you to just mail the items in and wait for a check, but I suggest stopping in to a local "Cash for Gold" store front and getting an estimate in person and up front. Remember to shop around a bit. You don't have to take the first offer.
- Cash in on Gift Cards – Are you still hanging on to those unwanted gift cards you got for Christmas? It's estimated that in the $90 billion gift card industry, an average of 10% of gift cards goes unused each year. Check out sites like www.plasticjungle.com or www.cardwoo.com to turn your unwanted gift cards into cash. Depending on the demand for the card, you can earn up to 90% of the value.
- Find Consignment Stores – Ever feel like you wear the same thing all the time, despite having tons of items in your closet? I think we've all been there. The truth is we're creatures of habit and once we find a pair of jeans we love or those shoes that seem to complete every outfit, everything else takes a back seat . . . sometimes for years! That's why everyone should have two consignment stores in their area to sell their gently warn clothing to. First, you need the high end consignment store that is picky about everything they buy and will only take name brand clothing, shoes and purses. Then you need the store that is more concerned about the quality of the pieces and the season or time of year. If you have two, you cover your bases and increase your chances of being able to make some money off the clothing you may like, but just aren't in love with anymore.
- Sell Furniture & Electronics – Have a garage sale or list underutilized furniture and electronics on Craigslist. Be careful, however, not to sell yourself short. Research brands and model numbers for items in good condition. You may be able to sell unique or antique items to specialty shops or place collectible pieces on E-bay and get way more than you would at a garage sale.
- Books, CDs & DVDs – Call me old school, but I still love hard covered books and compact discs. Yes, at any given time, I have at least 2 books in my oversized hobo and CDs on deck, however, with the trend moving toward devices like the Kindle and Nook, MP3s players, I-Pods and even I-Pads more and more folks are moving away from these forms of prehistoric entertainment. If that's you, maybe it's time to sell your paperbacks to old timers like myself at a discount. If you search diligently enough, you can always find a store that will purchase used books, CDs and DVDs. You won't make a killing, but every penny counts when you're saving or paying down debt, right?
Make sure before you start out on your cleaning spree/treasure hunt, you put a time limit on how long you will take to get rid of what you find. If you cannot sell an item within 2 weeks, donate it to charity. Take clothing and household items to places that actually GIVE the goods away to those in need. And, your local library would probably appreciate your old books, cds and dvds. Whatever you do just don't put it back in the garage!
In addition to making some quick money, you can clear the chaos in your mind too! Did you know your home environment is very closely connected to your personal environment, meaning your emotions, mindset and general well-being? Energy gets stuck in all your stuff. So simply letting go of stuff and releasing old, bad or negative energy may free you up to attract new and exciting opportunities in your life. If nothing else, clean up the mess and feel good about inviting friends over again!

Rain Top, Flip Flop, the Three Amigos Announced for Dooley's Week
The hippity-hop trio Amigos, comprised of Huevos, Landing, and Reset, are set to perform at Dooley's week this year. Although the Wheel had initially speculated that rapper Fibby Whap would headline the event, Emory students seem to prefer three young men simultaneously promoting the distribution of Schedule I narcotics to just the one.
This is not just any rap group; Quaalude, Rip-Off, and Orbitz are apparently especially close. The Amigas take inspiration from a Cheetah Girls lyric: amigas cheetahs, friends for life. Their debaucherous lifestyle reflects both their close friendship and their status as cheaters, or "cheetahs."
Their real life personas and appearances are in fact based on their electronic avatars that they created in the Nintendo Wii™ they are constantly playing with. The name of the group, Mii-gos, is still another reflection of their irrational loyalty to Nintendo over any other gaming company.
When reached for comment, a representative of the Emory Student Programming Council had this to say:
"Rain drop, drop top, Dooley's week is going to be totally epic, L-O-L, dab on them!"
The source executed a painfully cringeworthy motion that could only be considered a "dab" in the loosest sense of the term, and continued to spout off a series of nonsensical emojis expressed in words, including but not limited to "laughing face," "fire emoji," and "rocket ship."
Quimbo Slice, Bake-o, and Disconcerting Gap expressed that they were thrilled to be playing for an audience of spoiled rich kids who could never fully appreciate the struggles that inspired their music. "The trap" and wealthy northern suburbs have a surprising amount in common, including pervasive drug abuse and the constant threat of microaggressions.
At press time, sources were expecting the concert to be a smash hit, but were skeptical that anything could ever live up to Smash Mouth.

The modern Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is the culmination of millions of hours of expert engineering, but is often derided as being a poor fit for the ephemeral world of Serverless applications. The truth of the matter is that the JVM is an excellent choice of runtime for a wide range of AWS Lambda use cases, and developers need not even constrain themselves to just the Java language to use it.
This talk gives an overview of the JVM runtime for AWS Lambda, as well as a comprehensive look at JVM-based Lambda performance across a range of use cases. He outlines a set of criteria to help architects and engineers decide whether or not to choose the JVM over the other runtime options. He also gives strategies, tips, and examples for developing efficient, performant AWS Lambda functions in a variety of JVM languages, but with a particular focus on Clojure.
John Chapin is a co-founder of Symphonia, a Serverless and Cloud Technology Consultancy. John has over 15 years of experience in technology leadership and implementation. Previously, he was VP Engineering, Core Services & Data Science at Intent Media, where he helped teams transform how they delivered business value through Serverless technology and agile practices. He is also a co-organizer of the NYC Clojure Meetup.

Election Day is over. Young eyes look through the ruins.

In Jack Kornfield's book, After the Ecstasy, The Laundry, there is a section with the title, "The Middle Path." The following are excerpts from this section:
"The middle path embraces opposites. It rests between them, acknowledging both truths, caught by neither side. In this way we can see from one perspective that human life is suffering, with its inevitable string of losses culminating in sickness, aging, and death. Yet from another perspective it is also grace—filled with gifts and blessings, expressing a divine beauty. Our very suffering can be seen as the grace that brings us to compassion, surrender, and humility."
"Awakening dissolves the labels we have put on our experience."
"The wise heart brings compassion to imperfection itself."
"The wise heart is at peace with the way things are."
"The holy qualities of understanding, humility, and a patient caring are our gifts. Our body, speech, and mind become like the Tao, 'content with the changing of the seasons.'"
"When we accept our place in the mandala ('an image, often complex, which represents the great circle of existence, sacred wholeness, a complete world') of the whole, we come back to just where we are. And in this is found joy, ease, simplicity, and courage, and what T.S. Eliot calls the freedom 'to care and not to care.' The following chapters illustrate the flowering of this wholeness, of coming home to ourselves."
Oh, the creativity of a blouse
a new way
to halve a button
lotus a sleeve
hypotenuse a pocket
Oh, the beauty of a dress
a new way
to neckline print
shoulder silk
waist metallic
Oh, the novelty of design
a new way
to try on possibilities
wear visions
fit body-respect
like the runways

Millions of records sold, countless world tours and becoming one of the biggest modern metal bands. These are just a few of the many highlights that have made TRIVIUM a household name.
Trivium started this journey in 2003 with their debut release, Ember To Inferno, which has been out of print for the past few years. Cooking Vinyl has teamed up directly with Trivium and 5B Artist Management to re-release the album along with a deluxe version that brings fans an additional 13 demos that haven't been available to public before.
After their initial release, the band signed to Roadrunner for 2005's Ascendancy. Eventually, that seminal album would move over 500,000 copies worldwide. Throughout The Crusade [2006] and Shogun [2009], they would play alongside everybody from Black Sabbath to Iron Maiden and captivate crowds at Download Festival, OZZfest, and more. 2011's In Waves marked their highest chart entry on the Billboard Top 200, landing at #13, hitting #1 on Hard Rock chart, and selling 22,000 units first-week. Vengeance Falls would also go Top 15 in 2013 as the group went on to play the main stage at 2014's Mayhem Festival alongside Avenged Sevenfold and Korn. 2015 saw them release Silence In The Snow where they scored their first Active Rock Top 10 chart position with "Until The World Goes Cold", headlined Summerbreeze and Bloodstock in Europe.

DEAR AMY: My daughter just turned 11 and has always had a touch of ADHD.
She is bright, creative and fun, but she often forgets to do her "jobs." Simple things like brushing teeth or washing her face won't happen some mornings, even though we have a typed list taped to the bathroom wall that she is supposed to check each day.
I don't want to micromanage her, but I also need these basic things to get done each day. What should I do? -- Frustrated Parent
DEAR FRUSTRATED: I'm not sure what you mean by "a touch of ADHD." If you ask me, just about every 11-year-old on the planet would qualify for this vague diagnosis.
My instinct is to focus on you. You say that you need for your daughter to wash her face and brush her teeth each morning. The key to your longer-term solution would be for both of you to realize that she needs to accomplish these things for herself.
You should experiment by taking down the job list you taped to the wall. Unless she is quite impaired, I would say that this is the essence of micromanagement.
If you (and she) are wedded to the list system, then let her make her own, in her own handwriting and decorated any way she wants.
Are there things on your list that she automatically does? They needn't be included. What are the things she knows she needs to do but tends to forget (or skip)? She should post reminders for herself.
You need to take a hard look in the bathroom mirror. How awful would it be for you if your daughter left the house one morning without washing her face or brushing her teeth? If you could be brave enough to let this happen, your girl might realize that it doesn't feel so great to have fuzzy teeth all day.
Having the freedom to make these little choices is how people learn to make larger choices. Unless you plan to follow your daughter through life with a list on a clipboard, I suggest it's time for her to get started.
My favorite gift for girls her age is, "The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls, Revised Edition," by Valorie Schaefer and Josee Masse (2012, American Girl). This wonderful book is a "how to" guide for girls about taking care of their changing bodies. It should be on your daughter's bedside table.
DEAR AMY: My sons are both getting married this year.
My husband and I have offered to pay for the rehearsal dinners and also contribute toward the reception. I have some dietary problems, and there is a local restaurant that has selections I can have. It can also cater to everyone else's needs.
One of my sons feels we should consider other restaurants because he and his betrothed want their dinner to be different from his brother's. I do understand that, but since we offered to pay for the dinner and make all of the arrangements, shouldn't he go along with how we feel? -- Want to Do Right
DEAR WANT: As the hosts of the rehearsal dinner, you and your husband are in the driver's seat. But in this case, isn't your son being reasonable when he indicates he does not want an exact copy of his brother's recent rehearsal dinner? (I think he is.)
And shouldn't you and your husband make an attempt to cater to his very reasonable request to at least consider other restaurants? I think you should. You are the hosts, but it is his one and only wedding.
DEAR AMY: Your response to the letter from "Furious Mother" was mainly fine, until you accused her of "stalking" her son's new girlfriend on Facebook. Amy, looking at someone's photo on Facebook is hardly stalking. Everything publicly posted on Facebook is there for the purpose of being looked at. -- Disappointed
DEAR DISAPPOINTED: In rereading my answer, I realize I inflated the act of looking at a stranger's picture into "Facebook stalking." Thank you for the correction.
Amy's column appears seven days a week at www.washingtonpost.com/advice. Write to

We just got back from our daughters. We had a wonderful 4th. On our way out of town we stopped and watched the parade, my FIL was on the WWII float they were Grand Marshals, there were at least 18 Veterans on the float.
We then went on up to our daughters. Grandpa layed down for a nap and my daughter and 1 grandson went up the road to the next town to a quilt show, it was a very good show lots of very nice quilts.
Then they fried up a mess of fish they had caught last week and then off to watch the fireworks. (My SIL is a volunteer fireman and they shoot them off)
Got up this morning and packed a lunch and went to the reservoir and went fishing, caught a bucket full then stopped at a camp ground with lots of shade and a cool breeze and had lunch, then grandpa and I headed home.
What a wonderful weekend we had!!!!
T Lynn - SW Idaho
Life is like a quilt...bits & pieces, joy & sorrow, stitched with love
what a wonderful way to spend the holiday, good family, good food and good times. gini
gini in north idaho
Sounds like you had a great time. Happy belated 4th!! We spent ours getting rows set so we can start the irrigation motors to water the corn fields. Thank goodness we have a couple pivots!! Went into the golf course for a burger fry and were supposed to do fireworks but that turned out to be a wash. So we went home and our daughter lit off the stuff we had gotten for her. That was fun and we were in bed early. Got up this morn and had to fix a brace on the one pivot which took a good 2 hours to fix, just hubby and me. Got her up and running though. My 4th wasn't real spectacular I guess but it was with family--that's whats important. Needless to say my plans for quilting this weekend went out the window. Oh, well, another day will present itself.
Happy Quilting all,
Lyn and Tammy, it sounds as if both of you had good 4ths - family and food. It was just the 2 of us, but we had hamburgers and I had watermelon. I think it's been 2 or 3 years since I had watermelon! Mmmmmm.
Today was another story, it was still just the 2 of us, but about 3 this afternoon, a storm came out of nowhere - literally. You could see it pop up on the weather map when there was nothing there before. I hail, small, for about 15 minutes. It looked like it was snowing! We have a drainage ditch that runs through our back yard. It's about 3 ft. wide and 2 ft deep. It was running brim high! At least it has cooled off.
Gillette, WY
we're supposed to get a huge thunder and lightening and wind storm this evening. fireworks two nights in a row. can't beat it gini
Just got home from Pa I went the a park with the family then watched frie works with my husband I am glad to be home
Well, ater I posted ealrier I layed down on the sofa and guess what? I fell asleep and just woke up, I sure hope I can go back to sleep in a little bit or I'm going to be all messed up...LOL
Tammy, I'm sorry you had such a day. We sure have spent many the same way, farming brings a new challenge every minute not every day :)
Great attitude Judy and Gini, when life give you lemons as the old saying goes!!!!
Happy, I'm really glad to be home also.
I am glad to see everyone had a good 4th.
Tammy ya know we live on a farm but it is no longer a full working farm just particle. But I miss those messed up holidays more than I would have ever thought possible. I remember one Christmas the cattle got out well instead of us getting together with family to do santa...out to the pasture we went. But I have to say covered in muddy uck and cold as could be I couldn't have had more fun then when my kids all little at the time was chasing the cattle to get them back in. By the time we got everything fixed with help if brother-in-law. My sister-in-law had come to the house got everything taken it to her house had us a good hot meal ready to eat when we got there. My kids said can we do this every year mom it was the best Christmas ever. This year my daughter said I hope the cattle gets out in the morning....I couldn't help but laugh. Those are the days you will miss when they are gone. I not sure if its the cattle getting out or the kids but right about now I want em both.
I have to say my 4th was pretty good. Had family fish fry...we fried the fish in the garage to save the mess. We all enjoyed a few games of Skip-bo. It was so wet we didn't go to the local fireworks. I thought getting stuck wasn't top of my list of to dos that day. So sat off some at home till it started raining again. Mandy my oldest lab loves fireworks the rest of em tolerate em only. But Mandy would lay there and watch em or go up and check em out depending which ones they were......she always good for laugh or 2. But with all the rain we got and grant you I am not complaining about the slow easy rain that lasted too long. Last night we sat off a bunch more of the fireworks.....but we still have plenty left. I am not sure if we are gonna set em off another night or other half is saving em for his year long fireworks stash. I swear men get more like kids all the time.
I'm a material girl....Want to see my fabric collection?
Oh no Lynn hope you could go back to sleep for the night. I hate when I do that and then messes up everything but oh well mid-night sewing is some of the best.
you must not be from the pacific northwest. here everything is done in the rain. when it rains, we watch fireworks from under tarps. one year there were so many of us rolled up in plastic tarps we look like a gigantic banana slug in the yard.
once while camping, we woke up on a floating air mattress, there was 2 inches of water around us. just pulled up the edges of the sleeping bags and went back to sleep. i had to dig drainage ditches around and through our camp. i even had litle bridges for the banana slugs to cross. gini
Good Morning Everyone,
I thought I was going to have to relate a sad 4th story today because our youngest cat, Nagase, ran away in terror because of the fireworks noise on Saturday night. We searched and searched all day yesterday and were making plans to get to the animal shelter early this morning, when wonder of wonders in she walked about 9:00 last night. Needless to say everyone gave her an enthusiastic welcome home--cuddle, cuddle. She of course was much more interested in her food dish!
Kissimmee, FL
I have to say its been a wetter year here than usual but I am kinda tired of it, I am from central IL and until last year we didnt have swampland around here. I love when its a slow easy rain but not all day like that. So we called off the festivities for one night lol but well boys will be boys and my oldest child had to set off his fireworks. LOL I had a chaser tho I sat off that chased him and he went screaming like lil girl...I have to admit I had to change pant twice while setting them off. There is always something humorous with him and fire...ok him and anything he does. I have to admit that is why I thought he be perfect for me to keep...best thing I ever did was say yes to that first date and omw been laughing every since.
I am soooo sorry to hear about Nagase running off. But I am glad he is home and safe. I send huggles to Nagase.
I only have one of the 5 labs that loves fireworks the rest just roll eyes when they see them come out. But had our share of those long nights of chase em down cause I can't sleep without all 5 around.
I'm so glad your kitty came home I know you are relieved!

from CNBC
by Yumi Clark, Contributor
And we should all want to help them do so. Why? According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses create nearly 70 percent of net new jobs nationally, and drive tremendous growth in our local economies. When small businesses flourish, everyone wins.
My father-in-law is a small business owner. As a result, I have seen first-hand the sacrifices they make on a daily basis, and am driven to design products and provide resources to help small businesses meet their goals and fulfill their dreams.
1. Go grassroots
For example, San Francisco-based entrepreneur Gerald Luna wanted to build local buzz for his Belgian waffle company b. street waffles. In 2012, he proposed a partnership with the local Capital One Café to serve waffles at the bank once a week. Five years later, Gerald developed a faithful following and has expanded his business to cater some of the top tech companies in the region.
The lesson here: local partnerships and engagement can bring big results. Whether its learning from other small businesses and turning to them for advice, or finding opportunities to connect with new customers, small business owners need to capitalize on opportunities to engage with their community, which will ultimately help their business thrive.
That's the inspiration behind the new Capital One Spark Business We Work As One program, which is offering small businesses in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Denver and Boston the chance to: host pop-up experiences to share their products and services with consumers and other businesses, share educational demos to connect with their local communities and network with other local businesses.
2. Fail fast and pivot often
The word "fail" may seem counterintuitive when it comes to business growth, but playing it safe can stall progress. This is especially true for businesses developing new technologies or tools.
As you introduce new products, adopt new technologies or expand your sales strategy, identify key performance indicators (KPIs) to determine the customer and business impact. If the new strategy works, great. If it doesn't, learn from it, refine your approach, and try again.
For example, I recently spoke with a photographer who pivoted his entire business to focus on photo editing as new technologies now enable anyone to take professional quality photos. As a result, his business is still relevant and is experiencing growth due to the change in focus.
3. Be opportunistic
Oftentimes, small businesses stick to what they know when it comes to running their business. It's not that they are reluctant to modernize, they're just so busy managing day to day financials and tasks, they have little time to educate themselves on new ways of doing things. By dedicating time to learning about new technologies, business owners can ultimately benefit from tools that automate tasks and streamline processes, and that help save time and reduce operating costs. This allows SBOs to focus on what matters most: growing their business.
One emerging technology businesses are adopting is mobile payments, and there's a good reason why. According to a recent report, 46 percent of SBOs currently offering mobile payments say sales have increased over the past six months, compared to 35 percent who do not use the technology.
4. Find a mentor
In addition to networking with other local business owners, you'll want to find a local mentor who can help you navigate the inevitable ups and downs that come with starting, owning and running a business. They'll oftentimes have more experience in certain areas, and can share their own lessons learned and advice on fostering growth.
There are resources, like BusinessAdvising.org, which can help make those connections for you. Or, sometimes all you need to do is ask someone you admire if they'd be willing to mentor you. Most of the time, they'd be more than happy to share their insights and provide business advice.
Having been directly connected to small businesses throughout my life, I've seen the lasting impact they have on communities. As we celebrate National Small Business Week, I always remember that when small businesses flourish, we all do too.

|Bushwick, Boris Tyomkin, Oil on Canvas, 28x36
|Group Exhibition
|April 3 - 20, 2014
|Opening Reception
|Thursday, April 3, 6:00 - 9:00pm
|Meet the Artists @ Opening Reception
|Artist Talk and Intro @ 7:30pm
|Featured Artists
Robin Kappy, Jarmo Karjalainen, Yongjae Kim, Eduardo Nunez, Mike Selbach, Kelly Thompson,
Boris Tyomkin, Thomas Valenti, Scott Westhoven and Marlene Wiedenbaum
|Robin Kappy's work has been exhibited in a number of venues including the New York Law School Gallery, Sloan Art Gallery, Rogue Space and the Sixty One Main Gallery in Andes, NY. One of her drawings was included and sold in the 2012 annual curated "Take Home a Nude" benefit auction for The New York Academy of Art at Sotheby's. Another of her drawings received an honorable mention and was shown in the Spring 2013 issue of American Artist Drawing Magazine. During the 1980's Robin was commissioned as an artist/illustrator for clients such as McGraw Hill, Banker's Trust, Dow Jones, Equitable Life Assurance Company and TWA.
|Jarmo Karjalainen is an artist from northern Finland and his career spans over two continents and three decades. He was the youngest artist to be accepted to Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Finland, and there he studied archival painting methods and practiced drawing in classical academic training. He later moved west and earned his Fifth Year Certificate in Fine Arts from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston, and received a BFA from Tufts University. Mr. Karjalainen has received several awards and grants for his paintings, including the George Sugarman Foundation award. He also has exhibited in international and national venues including the Salmagundi Club Gallery and the National Arts Club Gallery in New York City.
|Yongjae Kim is an artist from Seoul, South Korea. He earned his B.F.A. at Seoul National University and his M.F.A. at Pratt Institute. He has exhibited at Emrupt, Leigh Wen Fine Art, Joshua Tree Highland Artist Residency Show, and at Steuben Gallery in Brooklyn. His works are prominently displayed in collections in both the United States and South Korea, and his work was recently included in the November Issue of Invisible City Magazine in Sydney, Australia.
|Eduardo Nunez is a landscape watercolor painter from New York City. His works of watercolor express the changing nature of the city's landscape as well as the melancholy of the alienated; its chaos and conformity as well as the vibrancy and ever evolving nature of the great metropolis. The triumph of capitalism and its innate failure, to its full embrace -- It's harmony and dysfunctionality so inseparable, so apart. Both depicted in Eduardo's watercolor landscapes and oil portraits. Eduardo earned his BFA from Pratt Institute, studied at Cooper Union, and regularly participates on special programs at the The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). His work has also been featured at The Krane Gallery and The Westbeth Gallery in New York City.
|Mike Selbach is an artist/engineer who studied at the University of California Santa Cruz and City College, City University of New York. Selbach has worked proficiently in steel, bronze, wood, paper and clay exploring issues related to process and addressing the classic quandary, 'Is the hand of the craft a prima facie issue or a device'. Selbach lives and works in New York. His current work is primarily low to medium relief in wood and clay and considers the woodcut print a form of very low relief.
|Kelly Thompson is a self-taught American artist who draws inspiration from the central northern plains of North Dakota where he resides. There the rural views of landscapes are as flat as table-tops, the soil is as rich and black as carbon, and vistas stretch into infinity. His landscapes reflect these linear perspectives, vast ocean-like plains broken only by islands of oak and cottonwood groves that provide refuge to the farmsteads that nest within. In describing his artwork, Thompson states, "Our landscape, with its balance of land and sky divided sharply by the rigid horizon, is something that I always come back to in my work. This passing imagery imprints itself in my subconscious as I travel the regions' highways, emerging later in trailing brush strokes and deep overlapping color. My artistic point-of-view in these landscapes is simple: I create uncluttered, pastoral images to inspire emotion and wonder, to lure the viewer to go with me beyond the frame of my painting, because for me, the implied imagery of what is not present is as, or more impactful as that which is shown." Thompson's affinity for linear strength and organic elements often extends into the third dimension: his 'canvas' frequently is a wood plank where the natural grain and irregular surface become artistic tools. The paint is heavily layered with knives and brushes, then deconstructed with utensils and abrasives to expose hidden hues and infuse the work with depth, texture and character. Kelly studied visual art and communications at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. His work is included in collections across the country and in Europe.
|Boris Tyomkin is an artist from Moscow, Russia and was inspired and influenced by his late grandfather, Ilya Tyomkin's career as a painter. In 1980, Boris immigrated to Los Angeles and against his families wishes, he decided to pursue a career in art. After studying art privately in Los Angeles, Boris moved to Santa Cruz, California and became an integral part of the Bay Area art community. There he participated in many shows at galleries and museums, in Carmel, Santa Cruz and San Francisco. In 2009, Boris moved to New York City and received his MFA from the New York Academy of Art. Boris has a strong affinity and love for the old masters and especially the artists of the second half of the 19th century, including the Impressionists. Among these are many Russian artists of that time period who were painting impressionistically. Currently he lives and works in Brooklyn and exhibits in New York City, Long Island, Connecticut and New Jersey.
|Thomas Valenti is a Co-Founder and Executive Advisor of Acopal, and is also the President of Allied Artists of America, which originated in 1914 and is among the most prestigious art societies in the United States. In 2007 he was inducted into The Salmagundi Club (orig. 1871) as an Honorary Member. Thomas Valenti is an Elected Member of Audubon Artists, Inc. and the New Jersey Watercolor Society (since 1980). Mr. Valenti has exhibited with The American Watercolor Society and in 2004 was included in their annual Traveling Exhibition. Mr. Valenti is a past President of the Essex Watercolor Club (1980). His work has been featured in several major publications such as The American Artist Magazine (2007 70th Anniversary Issue), The Artist's Magazine (October 1985) which featured an article written by the artist himself, Best of Watercolor (2010) Kennedy Publications, 100 Artists of North America, written by Ashley Rooney, Schiller Publishing. Thomas Valenti wrote the introduction for Warren Chang: Narrative Paintings (2011) Flesk Publishing and also for The Head Ecorche by Alex Loza (2012). Mr. Valenti's works are in public collections such as Lipton Tea Company, Hoffmann-LaRoche Pharmaceuticals and Rutgers University to name a few. His paintings are owned privately by collectors throughout the world and the United States of America. Mr. Valenti has exhibited in venues such as The Butler Institute of American Art, The World Art Museum, Beijing, China, The Montclair Museum, Morris Museum, Monmouth Museum, The National Arts Club, The Salmagundi Club, Nabisco Headquarters and many more.
|Scott Westhoven's work ranges from representational to abstract, but always revolves around the methods inherent to printmaking. His work is as much about the process, as the visual end result. The sculptural process of creating plates made from wood, metal, plastic, stone, or cardboard is restrictive; forcing a more creative solution, adding a level of complexity and depth to the end result. Scott Westhoven studied printmaking at Kent State University before being awarded an international artist residency at the Graphic Workshop in Dresden, Germany. Scott's prints have been collected by the Cleveland Museum of Art, the city of Dresden, Germany, the Ohio Arts Council, and a variety of printmaking studios in Germany, New York and Ohio.
|Marlene Wiedenbaum - PSA, is a graduate of Queens College, SUNY New Paltz, attended the Arts Students League in NYC with Harvey Dinnerstein, and studied privately with St. Julien Fishburne. Her award winning landscape, figurative and still life paintings have been exhibited internationally, including the 2010 and 2012 International Pastel Artists Invitational in Taipei, Taiwan. As a result, her work will be among six International pastelists featured in a text book commissioned by the Taiwanese government. Also in 2012, Marlene was selected out of 1500 artists as one of 10 Semi-Finalists for the prestigious Basil H. Alkazzi Excellence in Painting Awards. In 2010, Marlene was awarded a residency at Platte Clove through the The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development. Wiedenbaum was a featured artist in the December '09 issue of American Artist. Her painting, "Downriver from Potown," was also selected by American Artist Magazine for their 2011 calendar. She accepts commissions and teaches pastel classes & plein-air workshops through the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie and in collaboration with Scenic Hudson, NY. A Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, Marlene is also an Active Member of such prestigious arts organizations as the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, NAPPAP, NYPAP, the Degas Pastel Society, and LongReachArts. Her work is in private collections throughout the country and is represented in the tri-state area.

National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has heaped praise on President Muhammadu Buhari for the commencement of payment of N5000 stipend to poor Nigerians.
Tinubu said the stipend for the poor was a sign of the Buhari-led APC government's commitment to people's welfare.
"I commend President Buhari for keeping faith with his campaign promise. I commend him for empathising with the poor and the most vulnerable among us.
"The payment couldn't have come at a better time than now.
"The stipend is a sign of the government's commitment to people's welfare. We must all unite to beat poverty and bring prosperity to the land," he said in a statement issued on Friday by his Media Office.

The Raiders have added former Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Kevin Ross as their new defensive backs coach.
As a player, Ross teamed with former Raider Albert Lewis to form a dangerous defensive backs combination when they were both in Kansas City. He played from 1984 through 97 with KC, Atlanta, and San Diego. He was named to two Pro Bowls as a player.
As a coach, he spent 2008 as an assistant coach with the San Diego Chargers. He was not retained after their playoff loss. He was hired by the Raiders to replace Clancy Pendegrast who moved on to Cal-Berkeley to become the defensive coordinator.

Milinda is an elementary principal and Scott is an assistant principal. In the podcast that I listened to, they reviewed twenty two different technology tools that they use and like. They mentioned Twitter, Skype, Video and Audio Chat and their favorite is the IPhone.

This tranquil slice of Ireland is located in the centre of the Midlands, along a variety of rivers and lakes that offer paradise for anglers of every type. In addition to rural relaxation, County Longford is also host to a number of interesting historic and heritage attractions.
The residents of County Longford earn their living mostly through agriculture, as the low-lying land contains a rich, moist soil conducive to potato and oat crops. Sheep and cattle graze both here and in the hillier landscape to the north, which slopes down into the lake and river areas of the Shannon and Lough Ree.
County Longford Highlights
Corlea Trackway Exhibition Centre displays the ancient oak planking of a primitive road that dates all the way back to 140 BC. The sections of plank, found in a nearby bog, are presented alongside other interesting exhibits of regional history and lifestyle from this bogland area.
The lush County Longford countryside has seen its share of luxurious manor homes, including Edgeworthstown House, the former home of an inventor who added all sorts of interesting twists to the design, and Carriglass Manor House, whose noted stable yard, gardens and period furnishings are accessible to the public to examine and enjoy.
Granard Motte and Aughnacliffe are prime examples of ancient architecture, the former exists as a primitive fortress and the latter an example of a rare portal tomb having two capstones.
The influence of early Christianity, mostly through the monastic communities, can be seen in the haunting ruins from 540 AD on Inchcleraun Island, as well as at Abbeyshrule, where the Cistercian Order settled upon its arrival in Ireland during the 12th century. Ardagh Village also has a legendary religious history as the centre of the diocese founded by St. Patrick and as a place with close ties to Ireland's second most popular saint---St. Brigid.
Longford Town, the administrative centre and namesake of County Longford, also has ties to St. Patrick, and serves as the centre for commerce and local entertainment venues. It has an authentic rural atmosphere that has been relatively unspoiled by heavy tourism.
County Longford History
Much of the earlier recorded history of County Longford centers around the arrival of Christianity to the region. Powerful monastic communities flourished at Ardagh, Abbeylara and on the various islands of Lough Ree.
County Longford in its present boundaries was officially established in 1586 and decreed as part of the Leinster province in 1608. Land was distributed during the plantation period to the Scottish and English settlers who arrived during the remainder of the century.
The citizens of County Longford suffered severe retribution for the failed Rebellion of 1798. During the Irish War of Independence, locals also participated, as evidenced by the monument at Clonofin dedicated to the North Longford Flying Column.
Popular Longford Surnames
Common surnames found in County Longford include:
- Brady
- Conway
- Cronin
- Feeney
- Flood
- Gaffney
- Gaynor
- Gilchriest
- Gilligan
- Gilna
- Kiernan
- Leavy
- Masterson

Long Beach Buyer's Report
How To Save Thousands of Dollars When Buying A Long Beach Condo or Townhome
Have You Ever Seen A For-Sale Sign In Front Of An Interesting Condo/Townhome And Wondered About The Asking Price?
If you're like most people thinking about buying a home, you see ads about homes – and signs in front of homes – that catch your eye. Looking throughout Long Beach to buy a condo or townhome you can run into signs of all shapes and sizes!
Perhaps, like thousands of home buyers, you hesitate to call the real estate company on the "for sale" sign because you don't want real estate agents calling you at all hours of the day and night.
We don't blame you. – Search Instantly using our FREE Long Beach MLS
Well, now there's a way to obtain all of the information on homes for sale in a prompt, courteous manner, with absolutely no cost or obligation -whatsoever.
Instant Facts – By Fax, Mail, Or E-Mail!
If you see a home that interests you, just jot down its address and call (562) 989-7111 anytime, 24 hours a day. Just leave the address of the home and how you would like the information delivered to you -by fax, postal mail, e-mail, by us leaving a message for you, or calling you directly.
We'll find the listing (no matter which company has it listed) that same day on our Multiple Listing Service Computers. We'll print a detailed listing sheet with all the details for you. Most people like us to pop it in the mail that same day so that you have all the information the next day – with no hassle, no cost, and no obligation.
We Call This Service Our HomeFinder Service – And It's Free To You!
We render this free service in the hope that when you find the perfect home that you will use our free Preferred Buyer Service to help you get the home at thousands of dollars below the list price. (But please note that, unlike many real estate salespeople, we will not be calling you or bugging you.)
We feel that true real estate service begins first with furnishing you with the factual information that you need. Any information that you want. When you want it. Unfiltered and unscreened. Without cost or obligation.
Sit Back. Relax. We'll Put Our Powerful Computers To Work For You!
If you're checking out the real estate market by calling on real estate for-sale ads or driving around and calling on signs, you will probably miss out on the perfect home because many listed homes don't have for-sale signs, many brokers never have open houses, and most "discount" real estate brokers never even advertise their listings.
Free Personalized Home Searches
We have it set up so our computers can input your needs into the Long Beach Multiple Listing Service (MLS) computers. At your request, we'll be happy to program our computers to search homes for sale that meet your exact specifications.
Just tell us exactly what type of house you want – the price, the school district, the style, and whatever else you find important. We'll put our powerful computers to work for you, download all the information on the homes that meet your exact specifications, and deliver all of the information to you a professional, courteous fashion. There is never any obligation on your part.
Our state-of-the-art computers have direct access to Long Beach MLS. You'll often know about new listings the day they are entered into the MLS computers. This is often 4 to 7 days before other buyers know about these homes – and a week or more before these homes are advertised or held open.
No matter what style of home you want, if it's out there, our computers will find it. Do you want two or three baths? A 2 car garage? How about a fireplace? An acre of land in the country? If you specify it, and it's out there, you can have that information the same day it appears on the computers – even before many real estate agents are aware of it!
You Decide Which Homes You Want To See – And When You Want To See Them!
After you see exactly what homes are available for sale, there may be some that prove interesting. If you would like to see them inside, just let us know. We'll make arrangements for you to tour any home, anywhere, at your convenience, no matter which real estate company has its sign in the yard.
Before, during, and after the showing of a home, we promise to never make you feel under any obligation. It will be a pleasant, guilt free, learning experience. That's the way we do business here at US Home.
If you would like to make an offer on one of the homes you see, we'll help you prepare the offer and negotiate in your best interests as a buyer's agent – all for no cost to you.
We've been trained in the skills of presenting and negotiating offers. On the average, we help buyers buy homes for 2.25% under the listed price.
Our Goal At U.S. Home: To Provide You With More Service Than You Expect!
Again, all this costs you nothing. We're paid by the seller if you buy a home. And if you look at homes for a while and decide not to buy, that's just fine.
Call us direct anytime at (562) 989-7111 . We're here for one reason – to help you find the perfect home at the very best price and terms.

editor / film reviewer for Video Watchdog magazine and the author

Interactive Murders
Singer Anna Ching Suet has been kidnapped and a video clip of the captive girl has been uploaded on to the internet for all to see. After five days with no leads, the police are under enormous pressure to crack the case. The perpetrator, who has made no demands thus far, orders via e-mail that Ai Mo (Andy Hui Chi-on) be added to the investigation team. Mo left the force four years earlier, following a gambling scandal, and now works as a bodyguard. However, the evolving mystery quickly lures him back, to the chagrin of team leader Roy (Ken Wong Hap-hei), who feels that his authority is being challenged. Shortly after Mo makes contact with the suspect (who calls himself "Jash"), comedian King Lam-foon is snatched from a bar. Self-proclaimed psychic Shana Yick (Nicola Cheung Sam-yuet) predicted both kidnappings in advance, making her a prime suspect in Mo's eyes. He revises his opinion when Shana's forecasting proves to be dead on but Mo and Roy are still unable to rescue the next victim, Japanese actor Yukie. Jash (Ronald Cheng Chung-kei) warns that time is running out, and forces Mo and policewoman Renee (Irene Santiago Casiano) to participate in his "grand finale," which will be seen by everyone the world over.

Director Billy Tang Hin-sing displays his usual visual panache and keeps things moving along at breakneck speed, all the better to help one forget the script's lapses in logic (like some absurdly elaborate e-mail games Jash compels his opponents to participate in). The events of the final third seem disappointingly unimaginative until the film goes off in an unexpected direction that puts the preceding events in a very different light. Screenwriter Felix Chong Man-keung (TOKYO RAIDERS, SHARP GUNS) is not quite able to pull off this sleight of hand but it is certainly a worthy concept and leaves the film with repeat value that it would not have otherwise possessed.

I knew this girl for 1 year and we were really close then i confessed her that i like/love her then she replied saying "forget everything okay? you will find a better girl" kinda friendzoned me since then i never replied her cut off all contacts with her and ignored her even unfriended her on facebook... but now its been a week she sent me a text asking a random question.. what should i do? please help me with this situation. I really like her but i dont want be her Option or friend. But i want some matured and a serious advice regarding this situation?
Most Helpful Girl
All you can do I feel is be the best friend you can, if you really love her. You can't force feelings upon someone (not saying you are) but if they do not feel the same really there isn't anything you can do. I would just stay strong and continue being her friend and maybe eventually she could change her mind.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
She probably just feels bad and wants to check up on you. I would say there's nothing wrong with being cool with each other but if you're not ready you can keep ignoring her. It's your choice.00|00|0

Centro officials are considering eliminating some bus services to amend for a $4.5 million budget gap, including some services offered to Oswego State students through Centro's yearly contract with Oswego State.
Centro has contracts with Oswego State, Syracuse University and Le Moyne College. Oswego State's yearly contract with Centro, however, is the most extensive of the three.
Students' yearly $97 Student Association fee allows students the privilege to a green sticker on their IDs that serves as their boarding pass for numerous services. Students get rides included in the SA fee around campus and around the city of Oswego, and free express rides to and from Syracuse Tuesday through Friday on the 446X route and Thursday through Sunday on the 246 route.
Although routes around campus are often overcrowded, routes to and from Syracuse are rarely even half full. The 246 route is only used by a few students except before breaks and on weekends. The 446X route started this year to accommodate students taking courses at Oswego State's Metro Center in downtown Syracuse, and rarely transports more than a handful of students.
Despite the extent of services offered to Oswego State students and how under-utilized they are, service cuts will not drastically affect students. According to the proposed cuts, however, there could be some noticeable changes.
Commuting students from Mexico and Fulton might feel some impact. Mexico and Fulton services might be consolidated, leading to less frequent trips for commuting students from those areas.
Sunday services connecting Oswego, Fulton and Syracuse via the 246 route could be cut altogether. Sunday services are superfluous to many students, amounting to little more than a way to get to Destiny USA and back on a Sunday. Many students, however, use Sunday services to come back from weekend train trips to their hometowns via Syracuse's Regional Transportation Center. This could force students to take overnight train trips to Syracuse on Sundays to catch a Monday morning trip to Oswego to be on time for class.
Centro officials could not comment on whether Sunday service cuts would make an exception to accommodate the commute for these students in next year's Centro-Oswego State contract.
On the whole, the Centro-Oswego State contract is not a financial burden on Centro.
"It's a break-even operation," said Steven Koegel, Centro's vice president of business development and corporate communications. "None of Centro's bus routes make money. We are subsidized by New York State and the federal government to provide public bus service. Passenger fares make up about 25 percent of the cost of operating our buses the rest comes from subsidies and some smaller revenue sources such as advertising on our buses."
Ideally, the transit authority's finances should have a "break even operation" for all bus routes. But with rising costs, the Centro-Oswego State contract seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
"As of April 1, we will hit a wall," said Centro Executive Director Frank Kobliski to state lawmakers in Albany last month. "If there is no change to our revenue stream, we will have no choice but to cut services in the city of Syracuse and Onondaga County."
According to Syracuse Post-Standard, with few sources of revenue despite growing costs, Centro is in financial straits. Gov. Andrew Cuomo's funding proposal for the authority has remained the same for the past few years. Centro takes a quarter of a percent of mortgage taxes, but Syracuse's flat housing market will take an estimated $700,000 out of the budget this year.
Expenses have jumped due to high operating costs for Centro's new transit hub in Syracuse, increasing union wages, medical costs and worker compensation claims, older buses in need of maintenance and increases in Kobliski's salary.
The proposed changes are preliminary. Proposed cuts would not go into effect until May 11. With the semester ending slightly after that date, changes effecting Oswego State would be delayed until after the semester is over.
"Centro would honor all existing contracts and re-evaluate all contracts upon their expiration," Koegel said.
Although the changes would minimally affect Oswego State, how the proposed cuts could affect Syracuse residents has been a heated topic for the past few months. Public hearings, meetings and coverage by Syracuse news outlets have highlighted how changes could drastically hurt the lower classes of Syracuse. As a result, the Onondaga County comptroller has begun to work with Centro to provide audit services and financial review.
Centro's work with the Comptroller could save Syracuse and Oswego State from the proposed cuts. But Koegel recommends concerned students get involved.
"I would encourage any student to write a letter to your New York State assemblyman or New York State senator to support efforts to structurally change the manner in which transit is funded in Upstate New York," Koegel said.
