The Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Participant Repository is an observational study that will be used to identify and characterize early risk factors that predict memory decline and dementia in adults with or without early signs of memory impairment. Data will be collected for this study at enrollment and then every 1-2 years thereafter. The data collected will help examine changes in cognitive function, and brain structure and function in older adults with and without a parental family history of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We will also study how the body processes sugar, and how that may relate to change in brain function over time. The information collected will be stored indefinitely for future analyses.

"Sweats atmosphere"
The Sunday Times
To murder or not to murder, Si worries to himself through a long, stiflingly hot summer on Primrose Hill, North London.
Si is only seventeen, but his best friend, Danny, is determined to kill his stepfather, a junkie and a heroine dealer, who has beaten up Danny's junkie mother once too often. What are best friends for if not to offer their full support to any plans afoot? Si's paranoia grows to fever pitch as Danny's plans take haphazard and solid form. A beautiful young rich girl's apparent obsession with him doesn't help, as she seems to have major psychological problems of her own, which she expresses by cutting her arms and offering herself sexually to Si, only to withdraw the offer seconds later.
This pain-ridden trio spend what should have been a summer of innocent pleasures alongside their other friends on Primrose Hill--smoking pot and getting drunk on cider--worrying about the logistics of a perfect murder. In the end, of course, events go badly awry and life only slowly returns to some kind of order. Si's lugubrious, comical narration creates a tragi-comic farce out of the surreal developments, and gently takes him through a searing rite of passage in which he feels he is always two steps behind.
Sky High

Category: Young Adult
"Astonishing wit and authenticity"
Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat
"A terrific second novel that gracefully spans several unlikely genres. It's a bildungsroman, a horror story, an anti-romance, a rocker's manifesto and an astute social comedy."
Elizabeth Judd, New York Times
Ferdia is a sixteen-year-old with problems.
His estranged parents live at opposite ends of Abbey Road, each of them flirting with younger partners. Even so, being young, talented and beautiful in London has its compensations, and Ferdia finds an outlet for his frustrations in a fledgling punk band on the local estate.
But when his relationship with a teacher twice his age threatens to scupper his schooling, his home life, and his place in the band, events take an unexpected turn for everyone . . .

A bike that fits my needs? I need help.
So I'm shopping for a new bike but I won't get it until early March (my LBS won't carry one of my possible choices till then) but I'm wondering what should I look for (besides comfort) and what bike would fit my needs best?
So well, my needs first, I'm a beginner in MTBing, I've been riding for 2 months now more or less, I do a lot of trailing and XC but I also like to jump (dirt) and drop off walls and stuff (like 30-60 inches in height) so I need a good bike for both uses, I want a light bike but I'm sure at my pricerange they will all be the same so it doesn't matter, I will probably use this bike for a year or so If I really get into the sport (in which point I'll just get a high end bike) or my whole life if I decide to stop MTBing. So far I've found authorized KHS, Giant, Haro, Specialized and Orbea dealers so entry level bikes suggestions (300-500$ US prices) from those companies are welcome but stuff from other companies is welcome as well as I've yet to check a few bike shops in my area.
Okay so my options are, I went to two LBS and I found a Hardrock Sport (not shipping until early March), a Haro V2 and a KHS Alite 500, they are all around the same price (500-600$- please do keep in mind I live in South America and things are more expensive here, those seem to be good prices, they translate to around 300-500 in prices in the USD) I'm leaning towards the Hardrock the most as the Haro seemed cheap but the KHS Alite 500 was very good-looking and seemed nice too so thats an option too. Any other suggestions?
bump before I go to sleep.
Hardrock's are great bikes.

The Atlantic Ocean and Piscataqua River define the Seacoast area of Southern Maine and New Hampshire, extending the area to explore from land to sea.
Explore all of your "on the water" options from boarding a ship cruising the harbor or one bound for the islands, taking an evening music cruise on the Gundalow barge, paddling on a moonlight kayak tour, or heading out to either Water Country water park or the Maine and New Hampshire beaches for sunning and surfing. Whether traveling by yacht, sailboat, cruise boat, kayak, or by whale watching and lobster fishing, you'll find that Portsmouth and the Seacoast provide unique maritime adventures.
No trip to Portsmouth is complete without viewing the iconic Moran tug boats moored at Ceres Street on Portsmouth Harbor – or while they escort a tanker up the Piscataqua River through one of the fastest currents in North America. The lighthouses that guard Portsmouth Harbor have stories to tell, as does Great Bay, Little Bay and the nine islands in the Isles of Shoals just six miles off the coast of Portsmouth.

Speculative Vacancies 7
Read the report
Wednesday November 12th, 6.30pm
Presenter: Catherine Cashmore
2/22 Punch La, Melbourne
The 7th Speculative Vacancies report advocates for empty property held for capital gains to be included in Australia's housing vacancy measures.
With the capital gains in the land game regularly tripling the yearly rental incomes available, there is less and less motivation for investors to risk their kitchen cupboards on a 'reckless renter'.
Our innovative vacancy measure, using water consumption as a proxy for unoccupied housing, covers 94% of Melbourne's housing. In this investor-dominated market, simply quantifying 'housing for rent' does not give a complete account of total vacancies. Our vacancy rate typically triples the vacancy findings the mainstream media quotes.
Catherine Cashmore, the winner of the EJ Craigie writing award, will inject her unique investigative manner into this year's report.
The final vacancy numbers are again shaping up to reveal a jaw-dropping number of under-utilised properties in this era of the Housing Supply Crisis.
We believe land usage is the genuine cause to affordability pressures and this report is a giant finger pointing at what is regularly ignored. Invite your friends feeling the housing stress to join us for an explosive evening!

I think your research is very interesting and valuable. However, I'm not sure the 50 litre water usage cutoff is low enough. I think you could find frugal old people easily using less than 50 litres a day. We use less than 50 litres a day per person at our house – and that includes two shower-abusing students!
Nicole Lindsay12-11-2014
Fair enough, thanks for the explanation. I'd love to come tonight but I'm booked up.
Catherine Cashmore13-11-2014
Hi Nicole,
Good to hear from you!
Usage per day goes down relative to the number of people in a household – so the more people in a household, the less usage per person. Hence why you currently use less than 50LpD each.
The data is per household use – not individual use – and all available research shows that only a meagre 3% of households consume less than 50LpD.
When you consider that a slowly dripping tap can consume 55LpD – one minute in the shower 12 litres and a flush of the toilet 6 litres – it's easy to see why even single person households have an average usage upwards of 157LpD.
However, your points are valid and very frugal water savers will bias the results to a small degree.
The report should be used as a starting point for local and state government to do further assessment of the latent housing supply and put policies in place to encourage better utilisation of our land. In doing so, we can potentially bring a higher percentage of empty dwellings onto the market and assist in easing affordability constraints for low income buyers..

Are Mexican drug cartels worse than ISIL?
By David Pugliese
Defence Watch
I had an interesting conversation a while back with a Canadian military officer who was pointing out how ISIL was scoring a propaganda coup every time it got publicity for its beheadings/videos of executions of Western and other hostages.
Such actions are designed to send a chilling message to Western governments and populations – they shore up an image of ISIL's power and the level of danger the group poses. In addition, it can be argued that such propaganda is designed to boost ISIL's credibility with potential recruits. The videos are skilled at spreading terror as well as ISIL's message of its power and brutality.
Associated Press has written that President Barack Obama confirmed the latest slaying – that of American aid worker Peter Kassig after a U.S. review of the video, which also showed the mass beheadings of more than a dozen Syrian soldiers.
With Kassig's death, the Islamic State group has killed five Westerners it was holding, the AP article added.
But as the military officer and other Defence Watch readers have pointed out, ISIL lags behind other groups when it comes to its brutal activities.
Yet those other organizations, such as Mexico's drug lords and traffickers, don't get any where near the same publicity or foreign military response.
If you Google "Mexico" and "beheading" you will get dozens of articles of such recent atrocities. It's not uncommon for cartels to hang a decapitated corpse in the downtown core of a Mexican city or post a video showing the beheading of one of its opponents.
University of Arizona instructor Musa al-Gharbi argues in a recent column on Al-Jazeera America's website that Mexican drug cartels are indeed worse than ISIL. The cartels are involved in sex slavery, the killings of aid workers, journalists and government officials, suicide bombings, ambushes on military convoys, not to mention pumping massive quantities of drugs into the U.S. and Canada. Al-Gharbi suggests that the West's obsession with the Islamic State is fueled more by bigotry than any genuine assessment of the actual risk posed by ISIL or the level of its atrocities.
His article is worth reading and can be accessed here:

It's love weekend…the time where we take a break and focus some love on those we cherish. Or, according to Hallmark, we're supposed to 🙂
Some people go all out for Valentine's Day and shower their darling with cards and treats and surprises. Some poor souls get puppies as a surprise. Not sure I'd want a puppy…
When we were dating my dear Jim planned a scavenger hunt all around the Seminary campus. The challenge ended at the top of the bell tower (and involved me walking blindfolded around the courtyard!), where he had set up a romantic steak dinner. What a memory!
Since then, Valentine's Day has changed. Some years we've forgotten it's Valentines Day. Others have been celebrated amidst the screams of our toddlers. Despite our lackluster Valentine days, we strive for love everyday, through the challenges and arguments, the busy children and moves, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Continue reading

The Rays.. and all
Right before Christmas I did a photo shoot for my friend Chris and her family. Both kids, their spouses, their kids. The whole shebang (is that a real word even?).
Chris means a lot to me. Shes seem me through hard times, nervous breakdowns, the births of three kids, and a ton of dirty dishes and messy floors.
She owns the cleaning service that comes to my house once a week and saves me.
Literally saves me.
Thank you Chris. If you live on Maui and need cleaners, its Maui Kleen Team.

- Location London, United Kingdon
- Client Regal Homes
- Year 2016
Hopkins Architects have recently completed The Residence, a collection of high-quality homes in Kilburn, London. The building includes 79 one, two and three bedroom flats and sits on a site previously occupied by a dilapidated 1930s factory and disused carpark. It faces a series of traditional terraced brick residences which have informed its design and massing and has effectively regenerated the sites into one, which is more consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood.
The building features crisp, well-detailed and articulated building elevations that use the light and shadow created by protruding and recessed elements to bring variety, depth and articulation. Its main frontage responds to the gentle curve of Maygrove Road itself and to sightlines on the approach from the east and west. It includes generous floor-to-ceiling windows and alternating expressed and sunken balconies, which divide the building into a series of "villa-scale" elements.
The Residence's lower ground floor houses duplex units connected with those on the ground floor, while the fourth floor features a series of penthouse units with spectacular views over North London. The eastern part of the building overlooks Maygrove Peace Park, offering excellent views over this important green space.
Landscaping throughout the site has been particularly important and as such is high-quality and prominent along all sides of the building. To the north, a series of wings have been created to help break down the perceived massing, which have in turn created a series of intimate private outdoor spaces for residents, including a large landscaped Residents' Courtyard. To complement these features, the building also has secure underground parking, a communal gym and concierge service open to residents.

Oct. 10–20, 1944
Oct. 10 – Still busy. Chas. Ross inspected the Unit at work. All is going well. An awful lot of bad cases are now out of danger. It is getting rather chilly here now – guess we have had our good weather and must get ready for winter.
Oct. 12 – Major Stubbs (Br.), his interpreter and wife and myself drove into Ghent, in a Jeep, then picked up a Chev Sedan and drove to Brussels. We formed a party with the interp., wife, sister and father and set out to see Brussels. Saw the Square with gold leaf on the buildings, supposed to be the most beautiful Square in Europe. The Royal Palace and the City in general. It is very beautiful. Late in the evening we returned to Ghent, got back into our Jeep and returned to Eecloo.
Oct. 13 – Made a hurried trip to Bruges to the hospital. In the evening, went to 4th Div. H.Q. and had supper with Russ Noble.
Oct. 14 – Started clinical meetings in the hospital. This afternoon went to 22nd Field Ambulance at Maldegem – then came back and had a visit from Joe Larryman O.C. of 14th Field Amb. Two abdominal cases today. Very quiet.
Oct. 15 – Quite busy today. Col Gossage ADMS – 4th Div. called in to thank us for our work here. They are moving tomorrow. Some people from Brussels came in for the evening. Very wet and miserable.
Oct. 16 – General meeting of the O.C.s of all Corp Units at Rear H.Q. Corps, about one mile out of Ghent. Nothing much new. On arrival home found patients waiting and we were very busy for a few hours.
Oct. 17 – Not busy today but do not know what the evening will bring. Most of our busy spells are at night. Sent two nurses to #2 CCS today, that leaves me four.
Oct. 18 — Brig. Farmer arrived with orders for Maj. McLaughlin from 10 F.S.U. to proceed to Antwerp and fly to England en route for Canada. We all feel very sorry about this. He is going back to become Professor of Surgery in Western University. Yesterday I was invited to let my name stand for nomination in West Calgary — no hesitation in refusing. Went to Antwerp in the Jeep in the rain. Visited Chas Bennett at #8 Gen. He is going home the last of the week. Had a long chat with Reg Bridge while there. Fairly busy at hospital today.
Oct. 19 — Gordie Champaigne and I drove up through Bruges to Ostend to find a suitable location if needed. IT is a beautiful drive, but a good deal of the country is under water, and the great majority of the bridges are blown up. Ostend has been fairly hard hit itself, especially around the wharfs and Gas works. I did not find what I was looking for so returned in time for a late supper.
Oct. 20 — Had to go to Corp H.Q. in Ghent today covering a meeting at which I am to go tomorrow in Bruges. r.e. "Exercise Infatuate" Charlie Ross was in for awhile today. It is a terrible day, rainy and cold. We have no heat in our building yet. Busy here tonight, mostly English Engineers.
Oct. 3 – Oct. 9, 1944
Oct. 3 — Went to Dixmude to see the rear party. An Orchestra came down and played for a dance given by AGRA. I spent the night in the hospital with Hans Geggie.
Oct. 4 — Drove him to Eecloo, arriving here just in time for lunch. Not awfully busy but by appearances, we are preparing for a big drive. The roads are filled with artillery and troops seem to be coming from all directions. This afternoon Brig. Fenwick paid us a visit. Tonight we had a picture show in the big school hall. The rest of the time, I have been working on a quarterly return.
Oct. 5 — Brig. Farmer visited. We are all set up to look after the casualties for the big attack of the Scheldt.
Oct. 6 — Casualties began coming in in the night. We are running purely as an Advance Surgical Centre and have been going very steadily since about 8 p.m. yesterday. Out Officer personnel now consisted of:
Capt. Place
Capt. Geggie
Capt. Carson
Capt. Walker, Padre
Capt. Harrison Paymster, No. X FSU
Maj. Twiddle
Capt. McColdrum FTU
N/S Bright
Major McLaughlin
Capt. McDonald
Mr. Dibb
L.G. Alexander
Capt. Douglas No. XI FSU
Capt. Wilson
N/S Thompson
Quite a little outfit.
Oct. 7 — Still very busy. The 3rd and 4th Divs. are having a very stiff fight at the Scheldt Estuary and we are covering their front. Four more Nursing Sisters arrived today. We were visited today by the DDMS of 21st Army Group.
Oct. 8 – Sunday, six burials today. Still very busy. Russ Noble and old Dalrymple were down last night. They have made me a big present of a Jeep, which is certainly much appreciate. Doug Harkness called me today for a short visit. I am sending three Nursing Sisters and a Nun to Brussels tomorrow.
Oct. 9 — Another busy day. Penny Watkins dropped in a for a visit today.
Sept. 17 – Oct. 2
Sept. 17 — Usual run of work , not busy but fairly steady. Visited the home of Mon. Joye today — very nice. Got a new German ambulance today which I am fixing up as a caravan — very nice too. One new truck and two more to come.
Sept. 18 — Snuffy Smith, Ronnie and I started out in Snuffies car and first drove to the Canadian memorial in St. Julien; then Palcapole, Ypres and on to Lille, where we stopped and had lunch and admired the weird hats worn by the ladies. We then drove to Loos, and down the old familiar Loos Arras Road to the Canadian Memorial in Vimy. it is very imposing but not beautiful. We visited Canadian trenches of the last war and returned home. Tonight there is a combined concert, by our Unit and Belgium artists in the town cinema. We are just waiting to go. At the concern our own band, assisted by Arnold Hodgkins put on a grand show. We were all there, who could be spared from hospital duty. A Mdm. Storey — 1st prize winner on piano at Warsaw and a Protege of the Queen of the Belgiums came from Brugge and played for us. It was heavenly. Another artist who was first tenor in the Opera Comic in Paris before he was ejected by the Germans sang several solos, among them in English "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life at Last I found You," and then three local Belgium boys played accordions. It was a grand success. These people had not been allowed to hold any kind of concert for four years and they went wild with joy. We entertained the artists at the mess following the concert, and had a grand time. Dixmude will always be a second home to us. It has been wonderful, far ahead of anything I've seen.
Sept. 19 — Just sent the artists back to Bruges in a Jeep. Mdm. Storey is a Court Artist and a very famous painter. No. X F.S.U. — Maj. McLaughlin and Capt. Douglas and nine men have arrived. It has been very busy today and I have no doubt but that a good deal of surgery will be done here in the next few days.
Sept. 20 — The famous dance came off tonight. Such crowds you never saw. It was a grand success. We are now practically closed, so are enjoying ourselves.
Sept. 21 — Was picked up in the square in Dixmude by a Belgian Red Cross officer and his girl — we went for a drive with them to Formiere — 5 kilo. from the coast. The Bishop of Bruges was there and sent for me, so I hobknobbed with nobility for a while. Am entertaining George and his wife tonight. Tomorrow am invited out for dinner to a Belgian doctors place. High life isn't it.
Sept. 22 — Snuffy Smith and I went out to dinner at a Millers place — had a grand feast and a very nice time. Afterwards, Gordie and I had to go to the 16th Gen Hosp. in St. Omer. Saw Col. Hassard and old Pat Patterson. Very late when we got home. World here for me to report to Col. Gassage ADMS of 4th Div and to recce a suitable spot north of Ghent (Gent) for an "Advance Surgical Unit."
Sept. 23 — Ronnie, Gordie and I started from Dixmude at 10 a.m. — drove south east through Tielt — then north to Eecloo (Eeklo) — a lovely town about twenty miles north of Ghent and about twenty east of Bruges. Reported at 4th Div. H.Q. and then ran into Doug Harkness — had a grand visit with him and lunch, then went and met Col. Gasage and we drove down to Oost Eecloo, Leuebeke, then back to Eecloo, searching for a suitable spot. Found one in a convent and hope to move on Monday, but must wait for Bde (Brigade) order.
Sept. 24 — Went out to dinner at a Doctor's home in Courtimarck today. There were present, a Dutch doctor escaped from a German concentration camp and a boy from Danzig who had recently escape also being held for six years. Both were very bitter. On returning home, orders were in for a move tomorrow, so everything very upset tonight.
Sept. 25 — Left Dixmude at 8:30 A.M. — Gordie, Mark, S.Sgt Schofield and I in jeep and Cpl. Flint, Fred, Cpl Herman, Sgt. Brady and Sgt. Carter in my caravan following. Had a good trip down — laid out our hospital and Gordie and I went back and met and guided the convoy in 12:30. It is a beautiful place — the sisters and natives again furnished my room. It is beautiful. Everybody used to call me the Burgermeister of Dixmude but now I have changed my name to the Earl of Eecloo. Saw Doug Harkness again tonight. We opened at 3 p.m.
Sept. 26 — 9 p.m. World came in that my four senior NCOs were to report to Dieppe tomorrow to return to Canada as escorts for P.O.W. Quite a bat in the head, but by midnight, I have my new slate formed and everything is running normally. Much busier tonight.
Sept. 27 — S/Sgt. Schofield, Sgt. Kirby, Sgt. Alfred and Sgt. Archer all left for Dieppe en route to Canada. The new slate of NCO's were already at work. Attended Mass this A.M. at 8 A.M. — sat through Belgium National Anthem. Picked up by friends and taken to Bruges — to dinner and after visited a local doctor, the Bishop and then went sightseeing in the Town. Returned home early in the evening.
Sept. 28 — ADMS 4th Div — Chas Ross and others held a conference in my room in the afternoon. In the evening Dalrymple and Russ Noble were over. Two nurses N/S Thompson and N/S Braide arrived today. Our rear party is still in Dixmude.
Sept. 29 — Busy all day. Saw Grant Marshall, Doug Harkness and in the afternoon Brig. Farmer was here and we visited ADMS – 4th Div. This job keeps a person on his toes all the time. Am going on call tonight.
Sept. 30 — Pat Patterson, McLaughlin, Tom Wilson and I attended 4th Div. Medical meeting in Maldegem, we each gave a small talk. It is still fairly quiet and will be for the next few days I believe. Expect to see some rather dirty fighting here soon when 3rd Div. comes in. (Battle of the Scheldt )
Oct. 1/44 — Most of the Officers and one Nurse went in to Ghent to a Concert Party. I stayed at home and entered the Senior Padre of the 4th Div.
Oct. 2 – Chas. Ross, Athol Gordon, Col. Gassage and a Belgian doctor visited us today. We are still playing a waiting game, not a great deal of work. In the afternoon I went in to Ghent for a short visit. It is a lovely town. In the evening Dan Woodside called in for a visit. I have not seen him for three years. Very cold and damp, but our quarters are excellent.

Japanese folding screens, delicate but durable, enshrine centuries of painting tradition.
Featured Images: (Click to Enlarge)
When Gilbert and Sullivan's courtiers in The Mikado bragged that their images appeared "on many a screen and fan," they were testifying to the graphic possibilities of Japanese screens, which at that time—the 1880s—were beginning to be appreciated in the Western world. More than just room dividers, folding screens (known in Japanese as byobu) are one of the main forms of Japanese painting, the others being hanging scrolls and hand scrolls or album paintings. While they were utilitarian, screens were conceived of by the artists and artisans who made them as far more than just decorative elements—they lavished on them the full scope of figurative creativity that the fertile and often fantastic imagination of Japanese art was capable of, during its heyday from the Momoyama period of the late 16th century to the early 20th century. Trees, flowers, birds, animals, landscapes and scenes from courtly life parade across these delicate surfaces, transporting the viewer out of the space in which they enclose him.
"Screens represent the whole world of Japanese painting before 1900," says Helga Fleishman, owner of Imari Gallery in Sausalito, Calif., a specialist dealer. "That's totally different from Chinese screens and European screens, which are decorative. There's no other country for which you can say that all the major painters did screens." In fact, all large paintings ended up on screens; only smaller-scale works were displayed as scrolls. This situation came about because of the distinctive structure of traditional Japanese homes, in which there were no internal walls. Screens were used to create rooms or domestic spaces that were not fixed but fluid, and screens could easily be moved around to accommodate changing practical or social needs.
Of course today, even in Japan, people don't live in such spaces and don't use the screens for their original architectural purpose. "To today's collector or museum curator, the original function of screens as room dividers is of no relevance in their pursuit of great works," says New York dealer Joan Mirviss, a specialist in several areas of Japanese art. In addition, the physical position of the viewer has changed: In traditional Japan, indoor life was conducted on tatami mats; a screen standing on the floor would present its images directly to the eye of someone sitting on the floor. Fleishman says, "If we're not in a tatami room, you have to raise them up so they're at eye level. So they are almost always mounted on a wall or on a raised platform, which really honors the painting for what it is."
"The serious collector," adds Mirviss, "might have an area in their home with low-level plinths that can accommodate a screen, so that the collection may be rotated. There is a tradition of rotation in Japanese art. You wouldn't leave a screen of red maples on display in the springtime, as you would not exhibit a painting of cherry blossoms in the autumn. Japanese art, by its very nature, is intended for seasonal rotation, and as such it is moveable and storable." Mirviss points out that Japanese collectors in pre-modern times had warehouses, or kura, where they stored their art collections, and there were special types of wooden storage boxes made to protect these screens when they were not on display or might need to be transported offsite. In present-day collections, one exception is that sliding-door screens are sometimes still used for their original function.
Of course, what really attracts collectors to these screens is the quality of the painting, which is a characteristically Japanese mixture of overstatement and understatement, riotous imagination and a sense of subtle withholding, even vanishing. "Good Japanese painters are masters at using negative space," says Mirviss. "In screens and scrolls, the artist creates trees that move in and out of the picture plane and clouds that stimulate the viewer's imagination. They require the viewer to complete the picture, almost like a pre-modern form of interactive art." One of the typical and most interesting themes in screen art is known as tagasode ("whose sleeves?"). In this genre, we see garments, usually a woman's, draped over some furniture element, with the long, graceful sleeves emphasized. "The implication," says Mirviss, is that one's possessions in and of themselves are evocative and revealing of the personality or character of their owner." The absence of the human figure from the picture can be thought of as an extension of the idea of negative space. Mirviss has a two-fold tagasode screen from the late 17th century, in ink and color with gold and silver flakes applied. It shows four striped and patterned robes, a black outer coat and sashes draped over a lacquer-and-gold kimono stand, all observed with a very detail-oriented eye. The various objects in this still life were likely part of a wedding trousseau.
Another two-fold screen in Mirviss' stock shows a whole different side of screen painting. It was done in the 1820s or 1830s (Edo period) by Kitagawa Fujimaro, a follower of the ukiyo-e master Utamaro, and like many a woodblock print (which Fujimaro also made) it shows elegant female figures, colorfully dressed. Here they are travelers, seen against a contrastingly monochrome background of a beach with Mount Fuji in the far distance.
A pair of 18th-century Edo-period six-panel screens by the Kyoto artist Hara Zaichu, offered by Imari, evoke the power of untamed nature by depicting ocean waves breaking over rocks. The water and stone are rendered in a fairly stylized way with ink and soft color, while extensive application of gold leaf conveys the negative space. Instead of trying to paint the whole seascape, the artist has chosen to zero in on a portion of the scene, to heighten its power and sense of motion.
New York dealer Erik Thomsen has a pair of six-panel screens from 1910 that also depict nature, but in a far more naturalistic way that shows the influence of Western painting. Shoreline at Dusk, by Furuya Korin, depicts water birds perched on sweeping, sinuous tree branches from which hang some fisherman's nets. Using glue and crushed seashells, the artist imparted so much texture to the nets that they actually rise from the picture plane. Here the confines of traditional Japanese screen art are clearly being extended.
The availability of high-grade screens in the West is a relatively new phenomenon. When Europeans and Americans started exporting art objects from Japan in the 1850s, says Mirviss, "The Japanese weren't selling them their best treasures. Rather than great paintings, they sold them netsuke, ukiyo-e —art forms considered plebeian by the Japanese." Some mediocre screens did make the Westward journey, but really good ones didn't start coming out of Japan until the post-World War II period, particularly in the 1960s and '70s. A collector named Harry Packard, who came with MacArthur's army and stayed, is responsible for many great screens ending up in U.S. museums and private collections—and according to Mirviss, there is more in private collections than in public ones. The Joe and Etsuko Price collection can be viewed, in part, at LACMA, and in the East, the Met will soon be exhibiting portions of the collection of Robert and Betsy Feinberg of Boston.
Most of the screens on the market are 19th-century, though examples can be found from the 17th century and even the 16th (the earliest part of the period of pictorial screen greatness, although decorative hinged screens were being made as early as the Heian period, 794–1185). The durability of screens can be ascribed to their construction—wooden lattices overlaid with layers and layers of paper, shingled so they can expand and contract with temperature and humidity—"an extremely durable, quite brilliant construction," says Fleishman. Still, cautions Mirviss, "in a heated, un-humidified New York apartment, screens can start to warp and bend, which in turn can cause the paper or silk of the painted surface to crack. It's important to keep consistent temperature and humidity where the artwork is stored and on view." Such modern concerns aside, screens need to be remounted every 200 years or so, according to Fleishman.
As for what collectors can expect to pay for these marvels, Mirviss says, "A screen that is in its original format and not a copy of earlier tradition, is something of quality and in excellent condition, can be found at prices starting as low as $20,000. Fleishman notes that prices have remained generally stable over the past several decades. "Even when the Japanese economy collapsed in 1990 and real estate went down 65 percent, screen prices did not go down. Then again, the Japanese economy has been in a slump for 20 years, so they haven't gone up much, either," although she notes that prices for early 20th-century screens have recently jumped quite a bit.
Mirviss stresses that one does not have to be extremely wealthy to collect even at the high end of the screen market; examples by "A-level artists" of the 18th or 19th centuries generally go for prices in the low to mid-six figures. "What can you buy in American art under a quarter of a million dollars—and you're talking 24 feet of art with a pair of six-fold screens! Japanese painting is still one of the great bargains."

Today you know it as the home of Oconomowoc Dental Care, but did you know that our medical building at 819 Summit Avenue in Oconomowoc was designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright? It's true! Originally from Kenosha, Robert Kueny was a UW-Madison grad who had served a fellowship at Wright's Taliesin studio in 1955. He then went on to open an architecture firm and was commissioned by Dr. Dean Epperson in 1962 to design an office building in Oconomowoc.
Kueny's design was built for Dr. Epperson in 1963. He practiced medicine there from 1963 to 1983 and during that period, the structure was referred to as "the Epperson building." That moniker has long since been forgotten, although to this day, our building stands as an architectural landmark in the City of Oconomowoc.
Dr. Rodney Barnes has practiced dentistry in this building since 1965, not even slowing down in 1986, the year a young Dr. Jim Michaels took over the practice. Drs. Barnes and Michaels have long enjoyed working together and sharing their mutual love of aviation, which continues to this day. Dr. Barnes is still a licensed pilot and very much enjoys flying—at the ripe young age of 97!
Some of you may remember the late Dr. Edd Kreutzman, who was also a close friend of Dr. Michaels, and was quite well-known in the Oconomowoc area. He practiced dentistry with Dr. Michaels from1986 to1997.
With its flat roof, brickwork, and window placement, there is no questioning Wright's influence on Kueny's design. But wait until you step inside! Our office has a naturally warm, friendly feel to it. A cozy fireplace graces the reception area. The brick layout, clean lines, and natural lighting—all afforded by the architect's design—are what give our interior environment its unique look and feel. That atmosphere is further enhanced by the ever-friendly staff at Oconomowoc Dental Care, to say nothing of the fresh baked cookies, which we serve daily!
If you have not yet experienced the ambience at the offices of Oconomowoc Dental Care firsthand, you really should stop by soon. We will be only too happy to show you around.

An unmovable big toe, known as Hallux Rigidus, is the most common form of arthritis in the foot.
Hallux Rigidus occurs as a result of wear-and-tear injuries, which wear down the articular cartilage, causing raw bone ends to rub together. A bone spur, or overgrowth, may develop on the top of the bone. This overgrowth can prevent the toe from bending as much as it needs to when you walk. The resulting stiff big toe can make walking painful and difficult.
Symptoms include:
- A bump, like a bunion or callus, that develops on the top of the foot.
- Pain in the joint when active, especially as you push-off on the toes when you walk.
- Stiffness in the big toe and an inability to bend it up or down.
- Swelling around the joint.
Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications are often prescribed to reduce swelling and ease the pain. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. Applying ice packs or soaking the foot in contrast baths (alternating cold and hot water) may also help reduce inflammation and control symptoms for a short period of time.
A stiff-soled shoe with a rocker or roller bottom design and possibly a steel shank or metal brace in the sole can help alleviate the symptoms. These types of shoes add greater support when walking and reduce the amount of bend in the big toe.
When damage is more severe, a surgical procedure may be performed to remove the bone spurs, as well as a portion of the foot bone, and allow the toe more room to bend.

HANK PYM ANT-MAN Fans Get to See Him Action in Official Movie Prelude Comic
Marvel Studios is currently in the midst of selling July's Ant-Man big-screen feature to the general public, but they also have something extra for long-time comic book readers. February's two-part Ant-Man Prelude from Marvel Comics is the latest in a string of comic book stories set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and gives fans of the Hank Pym a taste of the original in action. Ant-Man Prelude is a flashback story of Pym (played in the movie by Michael Douglas) as a younger man, operating as Ant-Man in the waning days of the Cold War… and at the center of it no less, atop the Berlin Wall.
This two-part series is written by Will Corona Pilgrim, who is no stranger to Marvel and its movies as he works for the studio as their Creative Research Director. Corona Pilgrim started with Marvel on the ground floor of the MCU with 2008's Iron Man, and has seen the MCU grow into the franchise it is, and has overseen the production of the various MCU tie-in comics before jumping into it himself. Newsarama talks with the California-based writer about this comic series which leads into the Ant-Man movie, what kind of research it takes to adapt Marvel's movies into comics, as well as his job heading up research at Marvel Studios.
Newsarama: Will, what can you tell us about these Ant-Man and Avengers: Age of Ultron prelude comics you're doing?
Will Corona Pilgrim: Well, as with any of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Prelude comics, we love to be able to explore the backstories of our main characters so we can give fans a taste of what's to come while also giving them that extra bit of insight that we sometimes aren't able to include in the final feature simply due to running time. What that means for Avengers: Age of Ultron is we'll get to learn more about how Loki's scepter came to be in the possession of Baron Strucker like we saw in the tag at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and for Ant-Man we get to have more time with Hank and his adventures wearing the suit.
Nrama: I wanted to ask about that, and the reveal from the solicitations of that Ant-Man Prelude that Pym operated as Ant-Man during the Cold War, leading me to think of Agent Carter. Can you tell us anything about Pym's time in the Cold War as it relates to this two-part comic series?
Corona Pilgrim: You're absolutely right! Of course, the Cold War played a pivotal role in the post-World War II world and shaping what would become the agency we all know as S.H.I.E.L.D. but when you're talking about a global conflict that spanned decades, there is definitely a distinction between Peggy's Cold War era, which would have been around the time of the Truman doctrine and Hank's, which would have been closer to when Gorbachev was leader of the Soviet Union. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s evolving position in the world during all that time plays a big part in defining Hank Pym's role as the Ant-Man.
Nrama: Interesting. So who will Pym be up against in this comic series prelude?
Corona Pilgrim: Pym finds himself on a field mission that pits him against a major distinguishing landmark of the Cold War: the Berlin Wall. As a kid growing up near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library I had the opportunity to check out a fantastic exhibit there, which recreated a tunnel so you could crawl through and experience what it would have been like for those people who attempted to cross such a monstrous barrier. They had the sirens going, the spotlights, all the sounds of gunfire, dogs barking, and guards yelling at you, it was such a trip. And when I learned that Pym would have been doing field missions during that particular point in history, I couldn't think of a more formidable and exciting foe for our hero to go up against!
Nrama: In addition to Pym, might we see any other characters from the movies show up in this two-part comic?
Corona Pilgrim: As with most of our tie-ins, there are gonna be a couple of cameos that MCU fans will be excited to see-- I know I am!
Nrama: That excitement betrays you as a fan, Will. You've written and co-written things like this before, as well as comics adaptations of Marvel movies, but how'd you get into the comics writing aspect of this?
Corona Pilgrim: I'm definitely no stranger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I've been living and breathing this world on the film side from the get-go and the same is true on the MCU comics, although it was more of an oversight capacity earlier on while we brought on some amazing, more experienced writers like Joe Casey, Fred Van Lente, Christos Gage, and Peter David to tackle those stories.
I got engaged on the writing side back when I was pitching some plots for the upcoming tie-ins to Bill Rosemann (our MCU Editor at the time) and he took notice of my knowledge and experience with the characters and how much I cared about the world of the MCU and said I'd be perfect for the job if I was interested. And I was absolutely interested.
Nrama: For the comics that are adaptations of the movies and not new stories, do you refer just to the movie – or do you also look at the scripts or other materials to inform your adaptation?
Corona Pilgrim: It's hard for me not to refer to all of the information at my disposal when working on these books, especially the adaptations. We always want to give the fans as much as possible knowing full well that they aren't privy to the behind the scenes discussions that really make these movies come together.
One such discussion was an Iron Man 2 scene, which was storyboarded but never filmed that we felt necessary to include in the adaptation since we believed it to be in canon, this was the "Boys Flight Out" sequence where Tony invites Rhodey to wear the Mark II and it's a first flight test for Rhodey. It's one of those things where we felt strongly enough to include it in the official adaptation though the sequence was never shot. The Avengers adaptation was a little different in that I knew where this larger story was headed, having already worked on the Phase Two films and having Avengers: Age of Ultron shooting at the time I was writing. It made the adaptation process much more critical in not only capturing the feel and tone and the humor of such a fantastic movie, but also setting up the future relationships and stakes of the MCU as a whole.
Nrama: That being said, how many times do you imagine you watched Avengers to adapt it like you have into comic form?
Corona Pilgrim: You know, you begin to lose count after a few dozen. I know I re-watched specific scenes while working on the adaptation, like the Banner and Widow scene in Calcutta, and the Widow and Loki scene on the Helicarrier to make sure we were retaining as much of Joss's script as possible. It's just so good. I have to give credit to all the writers who have had to tackle cramming these bombastic stories into two issues because it is no easy feat!
Nrama: Currently all of your comics work has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – could you see yourself branching out to the Marvel comics universe, or even other comics companies down the road?
Corona Pilgrim: Without a doubt. I have loved and continue to love working with our Publishing family and think they produce some truly imaginative and fantastic character books (like Charles Soule and Javier Pulido's She-Hulk and Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers). I've got a soft spot in my heart for some of the fringe Marvel horror and magic characters like Terror Inc. and Ian McNee and would certainly be interested in any Marvel magic books. And if any opportunities presented themselves to write for other comics companies, well, I know I've got one or two conversation starters just off the top of my head…
Nrama: You come to all this from your full-time job at Marvel Studios as the Creative Research Director. What does that job entail?
Corona Pilgrim: My role at the studio touches on a fair amount of areas, but a majority of my time is spent working in film development with the producers, production heads, and Marvel Visual Development and providing them with research materials, comics and otherwise, so that everyone is on the same page as we adapt these classic stories and characters into feature films. I also work in tandem with Jeff Youngquist, Sarah Brunstad, and Jeff Powell in Marvel Publishing on those gorgeous Art of' Marvel movie hardcovers. If you haven't checked out the one from Guardians of the Galaxy yet, you need to. It's spectacular!
Nrama: You started at Marvel Studios right when the MCU movies did, with 2008's Iron Man. From your perspective, how have things changed inside Marvel Studios with all the success?
Corona Pilgrim: To be honest, other than a few physical studio moves and the company now being able to make more films in a year, things have basically stayed the same. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," you know. Of course, with success we're now able to start exploring those characters that we've been talking about working on for years that otherwise would have had to stay on the shelf for that much longer had we not been successful. Which is super exciting for a fan of Carol Danvers, T'Challa, and Blackagar Boltagon!

Moving new score composed by Pascal Gaigne (Verbo, Omertá, Los Mundos Sutiles) for the film directed by Mireia Gabilondo. Amaren Eskuak is based on the popular novel written by Karmele Jaio about the generational and identity conflicts of a middle-aged woman when her mother, suffering the effects of Alzheimer's, is hospitalized.
Pascal Gaigne has written a very sensitive, minimalist score, performed by the Solisterrae Orchestra, where different soloists act as the inner voices of the characters—especially piano, guitar and cello.
This album represents, once again, the powerful and unique voice of Pascal Gaigne within the contemporary European film music community.

I managed to get my hands on some of the new inks from Oak House Studio namely the Pure Colour Chemistry watercolour inks - they are extremely intense so a little goes a long way and they lend themselves to painting, misting, mixing and writing etc etc!
Here I've just used the Sepia tones to show the different products available.
I've stamped the Friends Like Fruitcake with Chocolate Pigment Ink and clear embossed, sponged a little Vintage Sepia Ink in a Bottle and then matted this on some card painted with the Pure Colour Chemistry Ink. To finish I created some stripey ribbon by just dragging a paint brush with the intense ink along one side and heat drying to crinkle.
I love all the shades you can get from just one bottle of ink and can't wait to acquire more colours. Pop back on Monday for a look through the Vintage Blue window!

Hi Everyone
Michelle here from Lady of Leisure Ink - as always thank you Terri for having me.
For my final card this month I am using a Prima doll and more Authentique papers. I don't usually go for this kind of colour scheme - but they are so bright and cheerful.
I paper pieced this girl and added a handbag (from the boutique stamp set by Prima) and a pair of sunglasses (another brad from my stash,)
I've also given this girl some facial features using a stamp set from Peachy Keen - love how cute this makes her look.
Thanks for stopping by today. See you next time.

Today we start a 5-part series of posts, featuring 25 of the top unanswered questions relating to Jodi's trial.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"The (Still) Unanswered Questions: Part 1 of 5" – by Justus
If I had been Jodi's defense attorney, what follows are five of the 25 questions I would have put before the jury during closing arguments to counter the State's bizarre theories. (Or if I had been on the jury, I would have presented these to my fellow jurors.)
Question #1: Why stage a gun theft as a burglary (as the State contends) such that the police is immediately called in and a record is created? Why not just secretly "borrow" the gun and never return it? It might not be discovered missing for months and it probably wouldn't be known exactly when it went missing… but instead she supposedly went out of her way to create a police record?
Question #2: If she was going to steal a gun to commit a murder, why didn't she "stage a burglary" at her parents' house where her father kept numerous guns, including a 9mm, a gun with a silencer and one that was even unregistered?
Question #3: Why, in her master plan to murder someone, would she supposedly change out the bullet type for one less powerful?
Question #4: Why visit friends in the rental car if its supposed purpose was to travel in a car not connected with her?
Question #5: Why borrow gas cans from someone who will mention them to someone should he ever be questioned? Why not buy gas cans with cash in no-man's land or in some large store where she'd be just one of many customers?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
UPDATE: The JAA Appellate Fund total currently stands at $116,061.67 — so let's be sure to keep the momentum rolling throughout 2018, so the fund total can push on towards the ultimate target of $250,000. That in turn will help towards covering all the legal fees associated with appealing Jodi's wrongful conviction.
All donations via Justice4Jodi.com go directly to the fund. It is also the ONLY website authorized to collect donations.
In addition, please DO NOT, under any circumstances, donate through any other website or Facebook page/group claiming to be "official" and/or acting with Jodi's approval or authorization. The same applies to any "Jodi Membership Clubs", groups or fake Trust funds that have been set up. These sites are bogus – they continue to steal money from Jodi's future – and they should be actively avoided. If you are aware of any such sites, please help Jodi by clicking here and reporting them.
And remember… each day that passes takes us one day closer to Jodi's release date…
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Make no mistake.
Believe it.
Prepare for it.
Be part of it.

Ikuro Teshima
December 25, Christmas Day, is approaching. As you know, Christmas is a worldwide holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The New Testament describes in detail the genealogy of Jesus Christ at the very beginning of the book of Matthew. More than forty names are listed in this genealogy, and most readers may find it tedious. Nevertheless, the New Testament lists the genealogy on its first page, as if insisting, "First, read the genealogy of Jesus Christ!"
Matthew begins, "The genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham." This reference seems to stress that Jesus of Nazareth is the descendant of the revered father of faith, Abraham, whom God called "My friend, Abraham." It also appears to be a proud proclamation that Jesus is the descendant of King David, who unified the Jewish kingdom for the first time.
Even before Jesus Christ was born, it was said that the Messiah (Christ), the wondrous person anointed with the Spirit of God, must come from the lineage of David. The prophet Isaiah said this, and in Jesus' day, it was widely known. Yet, when we read through these verses, we find some disturbing and perplexing elements in the genealogy.

Thinking about taking a road trip? Before you do, make sure your road trip vehicle is good to go. Here are 10 things to have checked on your car before hitting the road.
We teamed up with Jiffy Lube to make sure our car was ready for our 2017 Summer Road Trip. You might be surprised that Jiffy Lube can do more than just change your car's oil. They can help make sure your car is road trip ready!
Our road trip vehicle is a 2010 Chevy Traverse. I bought it used from a dealer a few years back because I thought it would be a great road trip vehicle. It's already taken us to Walt Disney World, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Hershey Park, Kalahari Resorts, and Boston. Before trusting her to take us 2,500 miles up and down the East Coast, I wanted to make sure she was up to the task.
These are 10 things that I think every one should check on their vehicle before taking a road trip.
Get Your Car Road Trip Ready Checklist
My car was also due for a state inspection and emissions test. So I added that to the list, too.
Checking their website, it looked as if Jiffy Lube could handle everything on my list. Their Signature Service Oil Change not only changes the oil, but also does the following:
Inspect Key Components:
- Antifreeze/coolant reservoir levels
- Engine air filtration system
- Serpentine belts
- Brake fluid level (in transparent reservoirs)
- Wiper blades
- Exterior lights
- Chassis (lubricate when applicable)
Check and Fill:
- Tire pressures
- Transmission/transaxle fluid
- Differential/transfer case fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Windshield washer fluid
- Battery water (excluding sealed batteries)
- Exterior windows
- Vacuum interior floors
That just left the brakes, the A/C system check, and the state inspection and emissions.
This is when I learned that Jiffy Lube does A LOT more than just oil changes. On their website, they list just about everything you could think of outside or doing major repair work. The only catch is that not every Jiffy Lube location can do each of the services listed on their website. You have to check each individual location to see what services they provide. I did manage to find one that listed all the services I needed. It was a little bit out of my way. However, that was worth it to only have to make one visit for everything.
My Jiffy Lube Visit
Things looked like they were going my way when I arrived to find that the place was not busy. I told "Big Jeff" (that's what his name tag said) that I wanted the state inspection on top of the oil change. I also told him I'd like to have the brake pads replaced if needed, and the air conditioning system looked at.
They drove the car inside while I took a seat in the waiting room. Then they called me out to the computer to go over what I wanted done and what they recommended for my car to make sure we were both on the same page. "Big Jeff" recommended an air condition recharge and fuel system cleaning, and I opted for an engine flush when I saw how dirty the oil was.
That's when I found out that this Jiffy Lube didn't do brake services, even though it said they did on the website. I should have called – lesson learned.
The good news was that they could handle the air conditioning and state inspection. So that checked everything off my list except the brakes.
Since I was getting more than just a standard oil change, I sat and waited while other customers came and went.
"Big Jeff" kept me updated on the progress, as the car was moved to different areas of the garage for the various work being done. He informed me that my Traverse passed the inspection and emissions tests, and that one of those tests was the brakes. The pads did need to be replaced, but I had enough on there to pass the inspection.
That would mean making another stop, but what could I do?
It took about 2 hours to complete everything. When all was said and done, our road trip vehicle was just about ready to hit the road for another family adventure.
I had to laugh a bit to myself as I looked at the sticker on the windshield. We were about to knock more than half that mileage off in the next 10 days!
Thank you to Big Jeff and the guys at Jiffy Lube for taking care of our car. They were courteous, professional, and they didn't try to sell me on services and things that I didn't need. They also let me take some pictures!
And thank you to Jiffy Lube for partnering with us to make our 2017 Summer Road trip happen!
Where is your next your road trip taking you? Let us know in the comments!
