The Sierra Denali is offered in 2WD and AWD configurations. It is powered by an exclusive 6.2L V-8 engine, rated at 403-horsepower (300 kW) and 417 lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm).
The engine is paired with the Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. The six-speed automatic has a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio — including two overdrive gears — that help deliver an excellent balance of performance and fuel economy.
Also, the 6L80 has a "tap up/tap down" capability that allows the driver to manually select upshifts and downshifts with a button on the column shifter.
Sierra Denali also features a 9.5-inch rear axle (2WD) or 8.6-inch rear axle (AWD) with 3.42 gears and a locking rear differential. The Z85 suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, StabilTrak, skid plates and tow hooks are standard. Eighteen-inch polished aluminum wheels are standard and unique 20-inch factory installed chrome-finish aluminum wheels are available. The wheel designs are not shared with other Sierra models.
An iconic, Denali-specific chrome grille makes the truck instantly recognizable. Additional chrome trim and body-color bumpers further distinguish it. Sierra Denali is available in three exterior colors: Onyx Black, Olympic White and Fine Silver Birch Metallic.
Sierra Denali also offers a unique combination of interior style and luxury, including standard nuance leather-covered front and rear seats, with heated, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, as well as leather trim throughout.
A Denali-exclusive leather-wrapped steering wheel, which features wood grain accents and a host of auxiliary controls, is standard. Denali models also feature a unique center console, enhanced interior bright work and detailed, highly finished embossed sill plates that greet passengers when they open any of the Sierra Denali's doors.
The unique center console has wood grain trim that conceals the lid and cupholder pockets, creating a more finished and refined appearance.
In addition to a full complement of standard amenities, Sierra Denali offers such exclusive features as an available heated steering wheel. Interior colors include all-Ebony and an exclusive Cocoa/Light Cashmere combination.
Standard features include rollover capable head curtain air bags, power-adjustable pedals, electrochromic (auto-dimming) inside mirror, dual-zone automatic climate control, rain-sensing automatic windshield wipers, remote starting system, EZ Lift Tailgate and Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist.
From an entertainment standpoint, Sierra Denali comes standard with an AM/FM MP3-capable radio with a six-disc in-dash CD changer, Bose premium speaker sound system, rear-seat audio and XM Satellite Radio.
Optional features include the cargo management system, power-sliding rear window, roof rack, navigation radio system, power sunroof and a DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system.
Available later in the 2008 model year, the Sierra All Terrain builds on the dynamic Z71 Off Road package with a roster of stylish, refined and capable features that combine to create a unique truck that's ready for anything.
The All Terrain will be available on extended cab standard box and crew cab models in either 2WD or 4WD.
Product details include:
- Z71 Off Road package with skid plates, locking rear differential and high-capacity air cleaner.
- Standard 5.3L V-8.
- Optional 6.0L V-8 (with transmission cooler and oil cooler.)
- Heavy-duty trailering package.
- 18-inch chrome wheels.
- Unique Rancho Tenneco shocks which are white with red letters.
- Body-color side moldings with chrome accents.
- Unique chrome grille.
- All Terrain badges on the front fenders.
- Full-function outside mirrors in body color.
- Body-color door handles.
- Ebony cloth seating.
- Exclusive two-tone leather seat color combination (SLT only.)
- Specific instrument panel with enhanced brushed metal appearance.

Gardasil, the vaccine that can prevent most cases of cervical cancer in girls, has won the FDA's blessing as a vaccine to prevent anal cancer, a rare but growing diagnosis in the United States.
The drug agency's approval for Gardasil as an anal cancer vaccine opens the way for the medication's maker, Merck and Co. Inc., to market the vaccine to boys and young men between the ages of nine and 26. The FDA's decision could theoretically double the number of children and young adults urged to take the vaccine. But physicians are most likely to recommend the vaccine first for boys and young men who are gay but have not yet become sexually active and for young men who may engage in sexual relations with other men.
While anal cancer affects both men and women, men who engage in homosexual sex are at greatest risk of contracting anal or genital warts, which can become cancerous over time. Clinical data presented by Merck to the FDA suggested that Gardasil may prevent 78% of anal lesions and anal cancer in men who have sex with men.
Meanwhile, girls starting at age 9 are already urged to get the vaccine to block the transmission of four strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which collectively account for 75% of cervical cancers, 70% of vaginal cancers and 50% of vulvar cancer cases. The federal government's Advisory Committee in Immunization Practices is deliberating on a proposal to extend that recommendation to include boys -- both as an indirect means of preventing the transmission of HPV to women and now, as protection for themselves against anal cancer.
Anal cancer is rare, with roughly 5,300 new diagnoses and 720 deaths from the disease each year. Treatment for this cancer typically involves surgery and radiation or chemotherapy. FDA's Dr. Karen Midthun called treatment for anal cancer "challenging," and said that the use of Gardasil could be "important" in driving down new diagnoses. Most of those cases are thought to spring from cases of HPV.(Twenty million Americans are infected and an additional 6 million yearly are expected to become infected.)

I have been seeing a guy for about two weeks. I really like him and am interested in seeing where things go. The kicker is I just met another guy who is very appealing to me. I am torn! I like the guy I�ve been seeing, so is it bad to go on a date with someone else? I don�t want to jinx anything but I also don�t want to miss out if the new guy is perfect for me. Help! �Jennifer
Listen up, everyone. This is exactly why you don�t give away all of your candy when just getting to know someone � you never know what is behind Door No. 2. This is a very common dating challenge, especially now that college is starting back up. Look out for all the new potentials about to cross your path!
I advise my clients that there is no rule for dating other people when there is no commitment in place. If you committed to be exclusive with Guy No. 1, then I would suggest you pass on Guy No. 2. But again, in a brand new relationship please don�t start exchanging apartment keys or naming your future kids � if this is you, we have bigger problems to discuss.
Your question sounds to me as if it is too early in the game for you to be discussing exclusivity. Go meet as many people as you can and have fun; you are still on the market.
I have been with my boyfriend for almost five years (living together for three). All of our friends are getting married and buying houses. I am wondering why he hasn�t proposed to me yet. Every time I bring up the topic of getting engaged he changes the subject and gets angry. I am ready for the next step, but I am starting to think he isn�t. What should I do? �Laurie, 28
The pressure of expectation is so overpowering when you have walked down the aisle as a bridesmaid one too many times. I get that, but let me be blunt: Stop worrying about this. You may want some answers, but before you start giving ultimatums, make sure you are asking the right questions.
Before you go any further, evaluate for yourself whether this is the man of your dreams. Is he the truest companion to your heart? Forget about big weddings, houses, cars, pets, etc., because the timing of these things is so irrelevant in the big picture of your life. If this is your lifelong partner, none of those things will matter.
I realize you probably need some answers to have a true understanding of whether your life goals match with his. I would suggest you ask him whether he wants to be a father, and if so, when? His immediate reaction and answer will be a gold mine of information about your future with him.

Concentration in History
Behavioral and Social Sciences
The study of history is fundamental to understanding the present and impacting the future. Students in our program will explore public history, political history, American religious history, early American history, and military history in preparation for graduate school or enter any of a broad range of history-related careers.
Our program focuses on historical critique and analysis earlier than most undergraduate history programs. Some programs believe that the undergraduate degree is just to introduce the student to the facts of history without challenging the students to analyze or critique commonly held views. The Evangel program is different because we begin to teach the process of critical review at the undergraduate level, instead of at the more typical graduate level. Another aspect of the History program at Evangel is the flexibility allowed to students to take history classes that are most interesting to them or will best benefit their career goals.

The conclusion is that it is difficult, the amount of uncertainty is too large for parts of the data. Especially, the multiplicative effect is difficult to retrieve,
Setting up the dataThe data setup is the same as the data input: I will take the same design as previously used which is the chocolate data of sensominer. I will use the same kind of parameters as obtained from the chocolate data.
design <- sensochoc[,1:4]
# hyper parameters
sdPanelmean <- 0.978
sdRound <- 0.383
sdSessionPanelist <- 0.191
mu.lsdP <- 0.387
sigma.lsdP <- 0.323
sPanelistmean <- 1.06
sPanelistsd <- 0.22
Using equivalent formulas as in the data analysis, the responses are simulated. For explanations of the terms involved I refer to the posts created in May while building the model. I won't repeat the model here either.
nPanelist <- nlevels(sensochoc$Panelist)
nSession <- length(unique(sensochoc$Session))
nRound = length(unique(sensochoc$Rank))
mPanelist <- rnorm(nPanelist,sd=sdPanelmean)
mround <- rnorm(nRound,sd=sdRound)
mSessionPanelist <- rnorm(nPanelist*nSession,sd=sdSessionPanelist)
meanProduct <- c(6.98,6.60,4.84,6.36,6.66,6.48)
sPanelist <- rnorm(nPanelist,mean=1,sd=0.22)
grandmean <- mean(meanProduct)
mProduct <- meanProduct-grandmean
sdPanelist <- rlnorm(nPanelist,mean=mu.lsdP,sd=sigma.lsdP)
design$score <- grandmean + mPanelist[design$Panelist] +
mSessionPanelist[interaction(design$Session,design$Panelist)] +
(mProduct[design$Product] + mround[design$Rank])
design$score <- design$score + rnorm(nrow(design),sd=sdPanelist[design$Panelist])
jagsfit <- jags(data=data_list,inits=inits,model.file=model.file,parameters.to.save=parameters,n.chains=4,DIC=FALSE,n.iter=20000)
For the hyperparameters, the table shows the input data plus the resulting mean and sd of the sampler.
|estimated mean
|estimated sd
It would seem from these data, that the model does reasonable, except for the two parameters involved in lsdP. To remind, these parameters are hyperparameters for the panelists individual accuracy.
Low level parameters
The low level parameters can be extracted and plotted with a structure such as this one:
ProductMean <- fitsummary$quantiles[
colnames(ProductMean) <-c('x2.5','x25','x50','x75','x97.5')
ProductMean <- as.data.frame(ProductMean)
ProductMean <- cbind(meanProduct,ProductMean)
limits <- aes(ymax = ProductMean$x97.5, ymin=ProductMean$x2.5)
p <- ggplot(ProductMean, aes(y=x50, x=meanProduct))
p + geom_point() + geom_errorbar(limits, width=0.2) +
scale_y_continuous('Product mean') +
scale_x_continuous("Input mean") +
I feel sure people will forgive me for not repeating this scrips 4 times with different parameters.
Products mean scores
It would seem that the product means are retrieved reasonable well.
Panelist mean scores
Panelist mean scores are retrieved reasonable well. It appears the panelists mean is estimated so accurately, that some of the parameters are different from 0. The same happened in the chocolate data, which was used to provide hyper parameters for the simulation, which seems a good thing.
Panelist scale use (multiplicative factor)
The panelist scale is a difficult thing to estimate. On top of that, these parameters seem closer to each other than the parameters obtained from the chocolate data. The parameters also have a large error. When one thinks about this, it is not strange. Look at the product means. One product is quite different form the remainder. This means the score for this product is mainly determining a panelists scale. In regression terms, it is a leverage point. Even though every product is scored twice by each panelist, this is not good news for determining panelists scale usage. Maybe this is only possible when the products have quite different scores. But, in that case any model will do the trick of finding product differences. In case of small differences between products the model may not be performing better than a more simple model after all.
Panelist standard error
The panelists standard error can be retrieved reasonably well. The persons with the highest values obtained do indeed have high values. It could be better, but the persons who give the highest values are indeed the worst performers. It would seem that having this parameter is useful in the model, even though the hyper parameters are difficult to estimate.
The model performs reasonably well. However, a case can be made of removing the panelists scale use parameters. The information does not seem to be there to estimate this for the relevant data. A parameter of panelists standard error is valuable. This is a bit disappointing. I wanted a structural component, which says this panelist has the systematic behaviour, but that seems to be too difficult. What I get is a model which says a bit about quality of panelists without ability to split this into its components.

Rochester Institute of Technology has a winning formula for mathematics outreach and is poised to expand it into a national model with a $120,000 grant from the Toyota USA Foundation, a charitable endowment supporting K-12 math and science education.
RIT's Summer Mathematics Institute Teachers' Workshop puts high school math in context for secondary-school teachers. It reinforces the critical foundation high school mathematics gives students for excelling in college-level math courses and pursuing careers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines.
The simple model works: Mathematicians from all sectors share their individual stories with the high school educators. The speakers—students, faculty, alumni and others from various fields—illustrate different ways they apply math to solving real-world problems, from bolstering computer security and counter-terrorism measures to analyzing brain trauma data for the National Football League, to designing better contact lenses.
The success of the program follows an indirect course and inspires high school students through their teachers. Prior to the workshop, participating educators work with their university counterparts at RIT to pinpoint questions and issues they have in teaching math to their students.
"After six years, we feel that we have the pattern down and this works," says David Ross professor of mathematics and director of RIT's Summer Mathematics Institute. "We're turning this into a national program on the model of Google's CS4HS (Computer Science for High School)."
Toyota will support the 2014 workshop at RIT with $20,000 and fund the now Toyota-branded math workshop at three universities. RIT will hold an application process and a committee from the School of Mathematical Sciences will pick the universities to receive $20,000 each to run the workshops. The $40,000 remaining balance will cover costs associated with administrating the program.
Ross and Birgit Coffey, lecturer in the School of Mathematical Sciences, will help organize the new workshops and RIT's annual event.
"So far we've run the workshops on $10,000 or less per year, so this is a huge increase in our budget," Ross says. "We expect to be able to bring in more speakers, and perhaps participants, from afar, to bring in some big-name speakers and, generally, to make the events better."
Ross credits RIT College of Science Dean Sophia Maggelakis for starting the professional-development workshops for high school educators and wanting to share the program with other universities.
"The whole idea was Sophia's," he says.
Maggelakis, a mathematician herself whose winning proposal will expand RIT's influence, is a proponent of creative outreach efforts to inspire the next generation of mathematicians and scientists.
"This grant from the Toyota Foundation will help us expand our Summer Mathematics Institute, which addresses national educational issues in mathematical sciences and provides feasible solutions," Maggelakis says. "It supports our mission to be part of the national effort to develop citizenry literate in the mathematical sciences and who appreciate the usefulness of mathematics as the basis of all science, technology, engineering, and almost every technical competence in the marketplace."

All eyes were on March for Development Office fundraisers this year as a first-ever monthlong campaign that sought to boost young alumni giving kicked off.
After a month of emails, videos and Facebook status updates, the Graduates Of the Last Decade program exceeded its goal of 100 GOLD donors over 30 days.
Oswego Alumni Association Board member Timothy Barnhart '02 offered to match every gift made by his fellow GOLD during March 2011. A total of 127 accepted the challenge, bringing in more than $5,275.
"We were absolutely floored by the response to this fundraiser by our GOLD alumni," said Jessica Moquin, associate director of annual giving. "Our volunteer members on the GOLD Leadership Council really stepped it up and so did our donors, many of whom made gifts for the first time."
March Matchness was completely Web-based in hopes of connecting with a social media-savvy demographic. In addition to traditional email solicitations, members of the GOLD Leadership Council changed their Facebook profile pictures to images promoting March Matchness and personally invited friends to "attend" the online event by giving.
Videos used to promote the giving drive in emails were also posted to YouTube, which allowed it to appear on the Web pages of Alumni Relations and University Development.
"We tripled the number of GOLD donors we typically have in March, so calling March Matchness a success is an understatement," Moquin said. "It's a slam dunk and we hope it helps young alumni recognize the value of giving to their alma mater."

By Glenn Ruffenach
If you dumped any dividend-paying stocks toward the end of 2012 in anticipation of higher taxes in 2013, you might well be kicking yourself now. In a story in today's Wall Street Journal Report on retirement planning, Charles Farrell, chief executive officer of Northstar Investment Advisors in Denver and author of "Your Money Ratios," explains the importance of focusing on dividend growth – and the folly of trying to predict political decisions.
Dividends, of course, are a critical source of income for many retirees. As Farrell notes, corporate payouts historically account for about 50% of investors' total returns. (The other 50% is from price appreciation or capital gains.) In other words, if you cut dividends out of your portfolio, your expected return goes from the historical average of about 9.5% to around 4.75% to 5%.
Selling dividend-paying stocks in anticipation of higher taxes could be a good example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. As we now know, dividends for most individuals – under the budget deal that emerged in Washington on New Year's Day – will continue to be taxed at 15%. But even if rates had increased for more taxpayers, walking away from such investments would be short-sighted, Farrell argues. Rather, he says, investors should seek out companies and stocks where dividends increase steadily over time.
"With dividends, it's the growth in payouts that fights inflation, fights taxes and helps pull along stock values," says Farrell, who offers examples of how the math works in the Journal article.
And what of investors' maneuverings last November and December? "Before year's end, there seemed to be plenty of people discussing dumping dividend stocks and trying to guess which way rates were going," Farrell notes. "If investors reacted to that, as I expect many did, then they would have most likely harmed themselves.
"It's just a good lesson in investment and tax planning," Farrell adds. "Don't try to predict political decisions – which taxes are. Make the prudent investment decision and then try to manage the tax issues to the extent they impact you."

Sep 27, 2011 – Tyson Fresh Meats Inc., an Emporia, Kan. establishment, is recalling approximately 131,300 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 5-pound chubs of Kroger-brand "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN – 27% FAT," packed in 40-pound cases containing eight chubs. Cases bear an identifying product code of "D-0211 QW." These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 and were shipped to distribution centers in Ind. and Tenn. for retail sale.
- 3-pound chubs of Butcher's Brand "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN – 27% FAT," packed in 36-pound cases each containing 12 chubs. Cases bear an identifying product code of "D-0211 LWIF." These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 and were shipped to distribution centers in N.C. and S.C. for retail sale.
- 3-pound chubs of a generic label "GROUND BEEF 73% LEAN – 27% FAT," packed in 36-pound cases each containing 12 chubs. Cases bear an identifying product code of "D-0211 LWI." These products were produced on Aug. 23, 2011 and were shipped to distribution centers in Del., Fla., Ga., Md., Ill., Ind., Mo., N.Y., Ohio, Tenn., Texas and Wis. for retail sale.
The products subject to recall have a "BEST BEFORE OR FREEZE BY" date of "SEP 12 2011" and the establishment number "245D" ink jetted along the package seam. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' website atwww.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/
FSIS and the establishment are concerned that consumers may freeze the product before use and that some product may be in consumers' freezers. FSIS strongly encourages consumers to check their freezers and immediately discard any product subject to this recall.
FSIS became aware of the problem yesterday (Sept. 26, 2011) when the agency was notified by the Ohio Department of Health of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses located in Butler County. Illness onset dates range from Sept. 8, through Sept. 11, 2011. The on-going investigation involved collecting leftover ground beef from the patients' home on Sept. 19 which tested positive for E. coli O157:H7 by the Ohio Department of Agriculture's laboratory today (Sept. 27).
FSIS is continuing to work with Ohio public health partners on this investigation.
E. coli O157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
FSIS advises all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of 160° F. The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall should contact the company at (866) 328-3156. Media with questions regarding the recall should contact the company's Director of Public Relations, Gary Mickelson at (479) 290-6111.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day atAskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. See full recall information here: Kansas Firm Recalls Ground Beef Due To Possible E. Coli O157:H7 Contamination.

In 1799, while he was second headmaster of Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts, Claudius Herrick wrote this appeal to an acquaintance to join the academy faculty. The letter is a valuable historical record both of the academy about six months after it opened in January of that year and of the community in which the school had gained prominence. Herrick described the building, with its classrooms, museum and library; he talked of the subjects being offered to the seventy-plus male and female students; he described the town's main street; and he mentioned notable town residents. Herrick assured "Friend Lewis" that if he made the move he would not lack for interesting acquaintances, including Deerfield's "Men of a liberal Education" who were "exceedingly agreeable as Society," as well as "Gentlemen, and Ladies from the neighboring towns." Comparing the academy to Yale College in New Haven, he also assured Mr. Lewis of the school's promising future although it could not afford large salaries at the time due to funds that were "in an unproductive state." Herrick's prediction was borne out, as today Deerfield Academy is a highly regarded private secondary school that draws students locally and from all over the world.

Thank you for requesting your art kit. The kit includes:
Rather than give you all this information at once we're spreading it out over the course of the next three weeks so that you have adequate time to look it all over. Here's your first kit component.
Together, we form a team that works to make your space extraordinary.
We are passionate about healthcare art. In healthcare settings, art can play an essential role in helping to improve the psychological health of patients. By integrating over 35 years of art experience with research on evidence-based design, we provide innovative art solutions for the healthcare community. The comfort and healing power of art should never be underestimated. Art evokes emotions. It speaks to the soul. At its best, it inspires, challenges and transforms us. Our goal is to design healing environments that promote and acknowledge the physical and spiritual wellness of patients and providers.
We incorporate evidence-based design for art in every healthcare project from hospitals to clinics to senior living facilities. Though the art in different types of facilities will vary, it is vital that art in every area is addressing the being: body, mind and spirit.
Learn More
We believe in the power and importance of art. We believe in your client's mission, their purpose, and their place within their communities. Our primary goal is to ensure that the art program contributes to this in a meaningful way.
Putting together great art packages is our passion. But we know it is time consuming. Managing all that goes into an art program is no small task: selecting, procuring, manufacturing, delivering and installing the art for a facility requires a skilled team. There are millions of artists and images to choose from, deadlines, budgets and various stakeholders that must be consulted. Often this is only one part of a larger project where multiple skill sets are combined to create just the right blend of design elements into a space. We understand how best to help the A&D community offer great art solutions. We offer designers various levels of support from assistance in art selection to full project management of the art program.
Great American Art has been providing high quality art solutions to healthcare, senior living and corporate environments for over 35 years. We have extensive experience using evidence-based design in all types of facilities throughout the country and bring a unique viewpoint to each one.
We take the heart and soul of a company and express it through art. Anyone who has ever crafted a corporate mission statement knows how hard it can be to find the right words. Imagine how much harder it is to say it with images! Great art has the power to change attitudes. And the right attitudes have the power to change lives - of your employees as well as your clients. In the end, it's all about filling in the blanks - walls and spaces - with art that reflects your company's inner self.
While we have always been partial to red, white and blue, we've enhanced government spaces with art that delights in a full spectrum of colors. We understand that you're under constant pressure to go with the lowest bidder. We get that. But we don't ever want you to end up with art that's anything less than spectacular regardless of what resources are available to you. The art in your spaces is simply too important. It needs to be an integral part of your design, with each piece elevating each space. We offer an intuitive website and online collaboration tools to make art selection simple and cost-effective. What's more, we provide our expert art design services for free. Together, we will create a unique art program for your facility—one that reflects your distinct personality and resources.
It's not easy to select art that will have a positive impact on everyone. But it is possible and, to our way of thinking, essential. What's required is a full-service team totally dedicated to understanding the client's needs and vision. Great American Art works with a local dealer forming a team, bringing the client decades of experience in project management, art consulting, art procurement, art manufacturing and art installation. Having local dealers and manufacturer reps allows the client to continue working with people they know and trust, while bringing in expert art consultants who focus their creativity on discovering unique and exciting art, ultimately resulting in selections that exceed expectations. We have dealers all throughout the country ready to assist with all of your art, branding or wayfinding needs.
Limited edition, museum-quality serigraphs hand-printed by the artist. An excellent value for both private and corporate collections.
Born in New Jersey, Anne Silber studied at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and has lived and worked in the Boston area since 1977. Silber's work has been shown in numerous one-person and group exhibitions around the U.S. and Europe, and her prints are included in many corporate and museum collections. Her work has also appeared on the sets of a large number of television series and major motion pictures.
These artworks are serigraphs, or silkscreen prints, hand-printed by the artist using hand-cut lacquer film stencils. The inks are mixed with a large amount of transparent base, allowing for the visual "blending" of overlaid tones, creating an effect like that of well-controlled watercolors. The editions are very limited in number, with an average of about 50 or 60 impressions.
Museum collections include:
The Brooklyn Museum
Herbert F. Johnson Art Museum (Cornell U, NY)
High Museum of Art (Atlanta)
The Montclair Art Museum (NJ)
Rose Art Museum (Brandeis U, MA)
Worcester Art Museum (MA)
Working with Great American Art is a real pleasure, they have an expansive offering, and are helpful and responsive.— Carmen T.

|Let's hope this doesn't happen in the 60th.
@fryclaryMcGann already denied that he has been asked to come back for the fiftieth anniversary special last month. The actor's only outing as the Doctor was in Doctor Who: The Movie way back in 1996. The movie will be shown at a BFI screening in September to celebrate the history of the show. All tickets for the event have now sold out.
I know you're on the 50th man my moneys on u
Then you've lost it. Fingers crossed for the 60th though..
We'll know on 23 November if McGann really will return to Doctor Who this year, but with what we now know of John Hurt's role in the special, it does seem within the realms of possibility...

"Love my new solar blinds!"
By MN mom from Minnesota
I have solar vertical blinds on a patio door, so when I decided to get blinds for the high windows in a vaulted living room, I knew these were what I wanted. I got my new ones in a dark coffee shade - looks great in the room with my brown leather furniture and cuts the glare and heat while still allowing me to enjoy the view outside. I have received many compliments from visitors on these as well!View this product

So you want some cycling practice but you're worried about all of the reckless drivers out there. You don't want to resort to one of those lame stationary bikes, either. The solution? Free motion bicycle rollers. Updated: More danger!
I would love to bike more often, but the thought of cycling here in New York City is utterly daunting. This alternative, however, seems even more terrifying.
If you want to brave your unfinished basement on two wheels, a free motion set up only costs about $35 in parts and can be assembled by following this Instructable. Just don't say I didn't warn you. [Make and Instructables]
Update: Giz reader Daniel and his buddies laugh at free motion bicycle roller danger. Why's that? Because they get down with free motion moped roller danger.
Thank you Daniel, I'm glad you are still alive to share that with us.

text: It is one thing to unwittingly slide down a slippery slope, it is another to deliberately plunge headlong into the abyss. But when it comes to the increasing tendency to limit intent requirements in the criminal law, Florida has taken that plunge with utter abandon. Last May, NACDL and The Heritage Foundation published a groundbreaking report, Without Intent: How Congress Is Eroding the Criminal Intent Requirement in Federal Law.1 The report focuses on shoddy lawmaking that is systematically diminishing the criminal intent requirement – a moral anchor of the American criminal justice system. The notion that a person accused of crime is presumed innocent and should not be punished unless the state can prove that the person acted with criminal intent is inherent in the American system of justice. Not so in Florida. Several years ago, Florida enacted a statute that eliminated the intent requirement from drug possession and distribution laws. Under this law a

Anything you would like to know about me personally...or my little biz...my home...you name it! Just leave me a comment on this post with your question. I always wonder about the girl behind the blog, so I know you probably do, too!
And just to add a more little fun, I will hold a little GIVEAWAY to go along with it! I will randomly choose one winner from the questions and send them a little surprise package of vintage goodies! (I have some awesome things set aside...but it's a secret...so shhhhh!)
I can't wait to see what you come up with! Its been a while since I have done this but it is always fun to read through your questions!
Happy Monday, girls! I am off to curl up on the sofa...
Oh, and on a side note...did you know that if you suffer from those crazy coughing fits - rubbing Vics vapor rub on the bottom of your feet and putting socks on stops the coughing?? I know, sounds TOTALLY crazy...but a friend told me about it, apparently her Grandma swore by the method. After another sleepless night last night, I was desperate enough to try it. My hubs insisted she was pulling some practical joke on me...and I did feel a little weird doing it, but I have to admit, it actually worked! I have not coughed once since I tried it. That is my helpful hint for the day!

TEA Morning Tea
just sublime, but, there have been times, when I probably should

Awesome painterly quality. Your edge quality and eye for composition are inspiring...so is your sublime idea of a morning with tea. Good stuff!

There's a sense of tension in this piece...the woman drinking tea and the man with his beer...they both seem to be in their separate spaces. I love the little details when i look at the larger picture...the Morton salt, the happy home pictures (irony?), the toast waiting to be buttered, the glow under the kettle. This is so moody and so well done!

A really great picture with warm colours and a very good morning feeling. I agree sometimes it would be wise to just stay in bed, but after tea things may get more clear. Great work.

Wow, this is a beautiful illo...It shows how romantic it is to have tea in the morning...

Another wonderful illustration. I love the purple tea set. Love the interior of the piece; curious - is it a home? a tea house? love the mystery of the long hallway, the little pieces on the shelves.

Wow! This is gorgeous! I particularly like your lighting in this piece.

This one is great. I love all the details...my fav is the salt!
Super style. Would love to know the how-tos on this one.
Looks nice and quiet there...but is it?

beautiful painting!! Love the atmosphere!! Very homey!

- Lou said...
I think you did a wonderful job with this. I love the atmosphere. The mix of brights and darks. I also love the beer in his hand and her hand on her belly. Its like they are waiting for when the new arrival will be here. And then they will both be drinkning the beer. :)

Like this very much! I think you have a great expression with lights and shadows!

- andrea said...
That looks like cold barley tea in the guy's hand! :) This image has a spooky feel to it. I think it's the way you've manipulated it (if that's wahta you did) -- kind of surreal. I like that.
- Sunday, February 26, 2006 4:49:00 PM
- Raymond Larose said...
This work is so calming! You can almost smell the teas brewing in the air.
- Sunday, February 26, 2006 5:03:00 PM
- butterfly said...
I am really curious about the origin of this purple tea set. I mean, this is the best color that highlight the tension of the atmosphere and it perfectly reflects the feelings of this couple..nice illo!

What a warm, nurturing room you've captured. The light is wonderful and the details in the backround are prescious. I love that long hall. Beautiful work.

Great tonal values and atmosphere.
- Sunday, February 26, 2006 7:12:00 PM

what a wonderful job you've done bringing light in through the windows. it balances the almost plaintive tone of the painting really nicely.
- Sunday, February 26, 2006 7:16:00 PM
- Bearuh said...
It looks like something tragic just happened and they know things will never be the same. Either that, or they are just really really tired :)
I love the hues and lighting. You are very good with colors!

Wow, this is so beautiful. It's like a movie scene. I like the sunshine coming in from the window.

Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous, love the colours, the light, the atmosphere, so evocative, I like the hint of sadness in it too. Well done.
- Monday, February 27, 2006 9:27:00 AM
Beautiful illo and I love the punch of purple in the tea set. Nice work!

we visited the husband's family last week and i am in serious chai withdrawal. great light and mood.
- Monday, February 27, 2006 9:15:00 PM
- Twisselman said...
This piece has great drama... like a finished storyboard for a movie scene. There's a pause in their conversation... reflective for her; awkward for him. Is that a brewski in his hand... before noon? Or is he pouring something into his tea? I like the chair in the foreground, slightly out of focus. This would be a great piece to put in front of a creative writing class and let the students write a short story or poem.

EEEaaWWW! This is so compelling! The moment is made eternal. But is it a moment that we would want to have resonate forever? Beautifully executed. What is the medium?

Great job. Was in done in oil paints? On software? I can't tell anymore it seems! Anyhow, it sounds like it's worth getting out of bed for, if not for anything else (the tea and cake).

That is a very long, twisty hallway you've included here. This picture is like a dream, begging for interpretation. I like that interactive quality which draws me in. And the violet tea pot... I bet it adds a special flavor.

This is spectacular. . I love the light. . . I love what the shadows look like in the table. . I like the tlight from the different sources. .
I like the way the paint looks . .
kind of impressionistic
I like the red in the painting. . \
I love the depth and the light down the hall ..
I can't tell if the figure behind the tavle is male or female. .
maybe I see a mustache. .
beautiful work. .
- Thursday, March 02, 2006 6:30:00 PM
there sems to be an interesting story going on here
I was the last anonymous too
I can't remember my loggin.

- HARDWAX said...
Hi Cloud
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the persons a man, although having a mustache isn't always the clincher on that question. There are women who have mustaches, I guess then the real question is, does it wax or shave?
- Thursday, March 02, 2006 7:06:00 PM
- atomicvelvetsigh said...
OMG! WOW! This is the coolest Illo F entry ever! I Love the way you painted the light and shadows.. great great! reminds me of Vermeer!! hmmm...
"cawwoocatsandlips" hmm.. hope its ok if i save this on my pc.. make it my desktop bg for a while...
I was wondering about the lines "when I probably should have just stayed in bed" but applying it to myself.. i defenitely can relate! (i think the guy is not drinking tea too btw)

Dominic Monaghan heads to the jungle where he finds a polar bear and a black smoke cloud. Oh wait, that was "Lost." We're talking about "Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan" (9 p.m. Jan. 22, BBC America; 3.5 stars out of 4).
The "Wild Things" in this new nature series are the creepy crawlies of which 36-year-old Monaghan is an obvious fan. His enthusiasm for his creature quest proves pretty irresistible, too.
In the series premiere, he trudges through the jungles of Vietnam in search of a giant water bug that can kill and eat animals 10 times its size. Along the way, he literally hangs out with a huge python, finds a water scorpion and grabs a deadly monocle cobra by the tail (see clip below).
In later episodes he searches for the giant huntsman spider in Laos, the black hair thick-tailed scorpion in Namibia, the world's largest centipede in Venezuela, the giant white goliath beetle in Cameroon, army ants in Ecuador, giant honeybees in Malaysia and the Guatemalan beaded lizard in, yep, Guatemala.
Monaghan syas he's always had a passion for animals--the creepy-crawlier the better. But his passion isn't restricted to the finding the beasties. He also tastes the food and samples the sites and customs of the countries he visits. In the premiere, he can't wait to try steamed penis and balls of goat.
"I haven't had that since last Thursday, so I'm really excited," he deadpans.
He's funny and totally down to earth, which makes him an engaging host and guide for the eight-episode series.
Scroll down for three more clips from the series.

Most New Yorkers watching Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer in political races dominated by sex scandals want to forget about them, according to a poll released Monday.
The Siena College poll found that 68 percent of state voters and 62 percent of New York City voters are embarrassed by the national attention to the men's candidacies.
Sixteen percent of voters statewide say the attention is "no big deal." Just 8 percent find it entertaining.
Weiner is running for mayor and is dogged by a sexting scandal that drove him from Congress. Spitzer seeks a comeback as city comptroller. He resigned as governor in 2008 amid a prostitution scandal.
The survey found that Weiner set a record for a Siena poll, but it's nothing to tweet home about.
Eighty percent of state voters gave him an unfavorable mark, including three-quarters of New York City voters, according to the poll. That 80 percent is the highest unfavorable rating the Siena College poll has registered. It's higher now than when Spitzer resigned as governor and higher than the worst marks for his successor, David Paterson, who nose-dived in the polls while issuing layoffs and cutting programs during a fiscal crisis.
Spitzer isn't doing much better. He is viewed unfavorably by 59 percent of registered voters statewide, including most New York City Democrats. Spitzer hit a 79 percent unfavorable rating shortly after he resigned while he was embroiled in the prostitution scandal.
The telephone poll questioned 814 registered voters in the state from Aug. 4-7. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

My mind is exceptionally quiet.........I'm suspicious that I'm up to something I don't want myself to know about.

Usher and Scooter Braun had nothing to say as they arrived back on U.S. soil after spending time with Justin Bieber.
Several photogs peppered both -- especially Usher -- with questions about what is loosely being described as an "intervention."
Not a word from either.
Based on what we know ... Bieber's not down with either rehab or therapy.

The network of fibrous actin filaments (also commonly referred to as microfilaments) found in the vast majority of mammalian cell lines appears as a complex interconnected organization of linear bundles aligned in two-dimensional arrays or as a three-dimensional matrix. These protein fibers are easily labeled with synthetic or natural fluorophores and can be subsequently visualized using fluorescence microscopy with the appropriate filter combination. Plasmid pEGFP-Actin vector gene product expression in various cell types (from both transiently and stably transfected clones) occurs due to the efficient intracellular translation of a fusion nucleotide sequence combining the enhanced green fluorescent protein domain with a functional copy of human cytoplasmic beta-actin. When expressed in living cells, the gene product is incorporated into actin filaments without significant structural interference from the EGFP protein moiety. The fluorescence excitation maximum of EGFP is 488 nanometers and the corresponding emission maximum occurs at 507 nanometers, with a relatively high (approximately 0.60) fluorescence quantum yield.
The rat thoracic aorta (A-10) cells illustrated above were transfected with a chimeric EGFP plasmid vector that expresses a fluorescent fusion protein targeted at cytoplasmic actin. The fusion protein is incorporated into the growing actin filament network to enable visualization of actin-containing subcellular structures in living and fixed cells. The specimen illustrated in this section was also stained for mitochondria with MitoTracker Red CMXRos, and for DNA in the nucleus with the ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

It's more than a rivalry this time around.
When Belmont visits Lipscomb's Allen Arena Friday night at 6:30 for the first engagement in this season's "Battle of the Boulevard" third place in the Atlantic Sun Conference will be on the line. Both teams enter the game, which will be televised live by CSS, with 6-2 conference records.
"I hope we play like we are supposed to play," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "If they play like they play and we play like we play I will take my chances. I'm not saying we are going to win, but I will take my chances.
"It should be a great night. All of a sudden the stakes are a little higher with both teams in the upper echelon of the league. We will find out what happens Friday night."
It's only one of 20 Atlantic Sun games on the schedule, but this one brings in a full house of fans, media and dignitaries. Anytime Belmont and Lipscomb meet in men's basketball it is news.
"Belmont does a lot of different things defensively," said Sanderson. "Our focus is 90-10 defense-offense. Their focus is 90-10 offense-defense. We have to be able to throw different things at them, but we can't outsmart ourselves. They are going to punish us for our mistakes defensively. We will need to be able to adjust."
Every game has been a challenge this season in the A-Sun with Kennesaw State, East Tennessee State, Belmont, Gardner-Webb and Campbell all playing well.
"Our staff will tell you we have been through exhaustion almost trying to get ourselves prepared," said Sanderson. "The effort, energy, the focus and the understanding have been there. I can't ask any more from our guys with what they have done. They have zeroed in and we have to do it again Friday night."
The Belmont game is the first in a string of key A-Sun games for the Bisons. They play Florida Atlantic twice and Belmont again.
"The next four games are obviously critical," said Sanderson. "A lot could happen here in the next couple of weeks.
"I would do anything to be on top. But if we are not there I can totally live with it."
