Bestselling artist Hector de Gregorio has been described as 'an unswervingly incendiary artist', he is interested in seducing the viewer, and his deliciously dark photographic images certainly act as a visual lure. In his images nothing is sacred, containing as they do religious overtones and something beyond mere festishism.
De Gregorio graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 2009, with a Master's Degree in Printmaking, where he developed his labour-intensive way of working. Each image involves extensive research and costume making, photography, digital imaging and hand-finishing.
Hector de Gregorio photographs his friends, often in his studio against a blank wall, and dressed in elaborate costumes he has designed and made. He takes a number of photographs from the initial shoot, and stitches them together to distort the perspective of the finished image, and adding elements such as a parchment-coloured backdrop, Latin phrases, and other motifs, often with religious or mythical connotations. The finished images are then printed onto fine art paper or canvas, and overlaid with oils, waxes, gold leaf and varnish.
Hector de Gregorio is interested in European art, and particularly the representation of ecstasy, whether this is the sensuality of the Renaissance painter Lippi, the realist style of Caravaggio, the macabre of Bosch or the metaphysical of Dali's surrealist works. Other influences include his mother, who was a dressmaker and taught a young de Gregorio how to design and make clothes, and his Catholic upbringing, which seeded a further interest in religious and devotional art from all religions. All these elements combine in these portraits that have often been described as having a medieval feel, and therefore they are utterly familiar and rooted firmly in the past, yet are completely contemporary.
Hector de Gregorio has exhibited widely, with exhibitions in London, Berlin, Milan, New York, Miami and Chicago. His deliciously modern portraiture is held in the collections of Lady Victoria Conran, Mehmet Omer Koc and Theo Fennell.In November 2009 he won the prestigious annual Young Masters Art Prize for his inspiring contemporary portraiture.
In 2012 Hector de Gregorio was asked to exhibit in The Perfect Place to Grow, an exhibition of work by alumni of the Royal College of Art, to celebrate the college's 175th anniversary. Absinthes was exhibited alongside work by David Hockney, Tracey Emin, George Shaw, Chris Ofili, Eduardo Paolozzi, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.

Fresh from it's debut at the prestigious art fair, SCOPE Basel, we are thrilled to present a solo installation of new work from rising star Hector de Gregorio.
Hector de Gregorio creates deliciously modern portraits of his friends, with each print on canvas involving extensive research, costume making, photography, digital imaging and hand-finishing in oils, waxes, gold leaf and varnishes. De Gregorio has recently developed this incredibly labour-intensive way of working even further, by collaborating with other artists to add three dimensional elements and installations involving both eroticism and religious iconography.
The Spanish born artist graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 2009, with a Master's Degree in Printmaking, and has since been awarded the Thames & Hudson ArtBook Prize for Printmaking, and the AXA Young Masters Art Prize for his inspiring contemporary portraiture. De Gregorio has shown widely, with exhibitions in London, Berlin, Milan, New York, Miami and Chicago, and his work is held in the collections of Lady Victoria Conran, Mehmet Omer Koc, Theo Fennell and the Boundary Hotel, London.

Opus Fine Art, Sheep Street, Stow on the Wold, Gloucestershire GL54 1AA.
Inspired by the poetic visual language of Al-Qaswini's 13th Century book, this new exhibition features a series of seven images that introduce the viewer to characters that are in attendance at a meta-mythical partyin a not too far town of the imagination...
The images are worked independently but linked to each other by details of colour or composition, creating a visual flow between them. They are as vignettes of a non-scripted but imagined story with, magic realism and sensuality at its core. The images are wholesome, gentle and strong, with a focus on mood and compositional detail as well as decorative first impact. References were drawn from baroque mythological painters like Dosso Dossi or interior single figures portraits by Zurbaran, as well as a touch of the rural and the ancestral.
Hector de Gregorio graduated from London's Royal College of Art in 2009, with a Master's Degree in Printmaking, where he developed his labour-intensive way of working. Each image involves extensive research and costume making, photography, digital imaging and hand-finishing. He is interested in European art, and particularly the representation of ecstasy, whether this is the sensuality of the Renaissance painter Lippi, the realist style of Caravaggio, the macabre of Bosch or the metaphysical of Dali's surrealist works. Other influences include his mother, who was a dressmaker and taught a young de Gregorio how to design and make clothes, and his Catholic upbringing, which seeded a further interest in religious and devotional art from all religions.

At the William Donald Schaefer building on St. Paul Street in Baltimore on Tuesday, May 22, the 16th-floor hearing room was the site of a protracted session on the issue of "should electric utility companies offer an opt-out option for customers who do not want smart meters" (PSC cases 9207 and 9208). The duty and responsibility to consider cases 9207 and 9208 and render a decision as to whether there will be an opt-out or not rests with the Maryland Public Service Commission, also known as the PSC.
On Tuesday at the Maryland PSC, utility companies and individuals alike testified during proceedings that lasted over 11 hours and which were attended by scores of people. Both of these figures—the number of people and the duration of the proceedings—indicate intense and widespread interest in the issue of smart meters and the desire to opt out. Although no one can say for sure at this point how many customers might choose to opt out, the figure of 1 percent of customers potentially opting out was mentioned several times.
Per the routine protocol of the PSC, those entities designated as official parties to the case spoke first, and spoke at length, as expected. The Maryland Energy Administration spoke and angered some in the audience when the MEA spokesman characterized those who would choose not to get a smart meter as those who "don't care about saving energy."
Next, the PSC staff opinion, presented by Carl Timmerman, aligned exactly with the opinion and publicly stated desires of Baltimore Gas and Electric (BG&E). The representatives from Pepco and Delmarva Power spoke for only a few minutes.
BG&E presented a panel of experts, including BG&E officials and a consulting scientist. The panelists spoke for about an hour, presenting a complete case addressing concerns ranging from cyber security to health effects to potential customer benefits to the cost that opt-out ratepayers would be asked to pay, should there be an opt-out in the future.
However, even after hearing all of this, the individual citizens were not swayed. In addition to individuals, two citizen groups each had representatives speak: Maryland Smart Meter Awareness was represented by Jonathan Libber, a lawyer formerly at the EPA and who was skeptical about the cost, safety and benefits of smart meters, and a group of Anne Arundel County environmental activists headed by former Maryland state delegate Mary M. Rosso, who spoke about their history of dealing with BG&E.
Hour after hour, the commissioners listened patiently to the testimony of the impassioned individuals. As it turned out, no one who spoke as an individual was in support of the smart meters, with some people going so far as to say that "an opt-out is not sufficient ... we request a moratorium."
Although the oral comments made for the record are officially labeled as "testimony," Chris Bush (an official party to this matter), acting as an independent watchdog, noted that none of the testimony was sworn under oath, and as such, he felt a degree of uncertainty that each claim made that day by parties with vested material interests might not turn out to be completely true.
Several members of the public spoke with deep personal conviction about their experiences with BG&E and their resulting distrust of BG&E on every subsequent issue.
The representative for BG&E said that it was not fair to have such allegations entered into the record, because PSC hearing protocol prevented BG&E from addressing or rebutting these claims on a case-by-case basis.
The testimony of the public centered on concerns about privacy, cost and savings, and issues with health effects and health problems, illustrated by numerous personal anecdotes. After dozens and dozens of testimonies, these main concepts were reinforced again and again as each additional speaker contributed his or her own variation to these central themes.
One audience member concluded that smart meters are neither necessary nor sufficient for energy savings. The Public Service Commission appears to be prepared to render a decision within one month on whether to grant an opt-out option.
For more information, can check back at webapp.psc.state.md.us/Intranet/home.cfm and search for cases 9207 and 9208.

Smart Meters have the following downside. The Electric Company
Installs, Programs & Collects the data as they see fit, and with this
technology making IMPOSSIBLE for me and you, to KNOW what they are
doing or how they are DOING it, (a simple analog meter reading, now
has to be turned into a National Crime Scene Forensic and Joe Colombo
Investigation when things go awry, as to who has done it?) is it the
Silver Springs Network NIC?, Is it a Hacker? Perhaps the trees in the
neighborhood have grown too tall impeding the RF Spread Spectrum
signal transmission, perhaps the SM metering electronics are
overheating and the clock is running double pace, perhaps the Electric
Company needs an extra 10% boost in revenue so they have adjusted
their accounting and or metering software accordingly, Perhaps it is
MALWARE inside the Memory circuits of the Smart Meter acting Up at
RANDOMLY but Predetermined fashion, or perhaps I or you did not get
the last text message that between times X and Y the rate is going to
be increased by 1000% above the customary 8.2 Cents/KWH, because now
with PEAK REWARDS the Electric company when they need more money they
BOOST the RATE so they can Increase their Rewards.

I attended this hearing. Based on the 120+ citizen attendees, coupled with approx. 200 that attended BGE's first 'propaganda' meeting (who loudly applauded my dressing down of BGE's bullying behavior), I feel confident in concluding the majority of BGE's customer base is AGAINST these toxic-prone and privacy-intrusive meters. I can also attest to MEA's alarming arrogance and disregard to people's welfare. One of their reps cornered me at a break, asking my thoughts. After voicing health/privacy concerns; BGE admitting to having no humans involved in testing; and their shameful bullying of customers, she snapped: 'BGE is a private company, they can do whatever they want'. I said 'Best Buy doesn't knock on my door and shove a PC in my face and tell me I must use it and if I don't I will be charged a fee. Excuse me, since you obviously have a numb and dumb mindset, there's no point in further conversation'.

Despite the fact that the utilities are installing millions of smart meters statewide, there have never been any studies of their impact on human health despite the warnings by national and international medical authorities. Any adverse impact will be particularly problematic for children and the unborn as their skulls are thinner and their brains developing. The radiation they emit is way above what the utlities are claiming.

My differences with you on the health effects of smart meters are the least of my concerns right now.
I am posting a link to the October schedule of an anti-Semitic, Holocaust Denial radio show. Carefully examine the list of smart meter experts who appeared on the October 25 show.
I believe you know one of the guests, a director of a website to which your site links. I would like to know if you are aware of this guest appearing on the show and if you still intend to link the website. If you are aware, have you received an explanation?

I find it amazing that Maryland's PSC is even attempting to make a case like this; this including the unidentified MEA speaker. I suspect they will get away with this because the "they" are our Maryland General Assembly and Governor who allow such bureauocratic strong-arming.
Recently PEPCO came through to change meters. Now I wonder what they are. The attitude was, this is our equipment, we will change it. I guess we could just switch to fireplaces and iceboxes but energy is supposed to be regulated on our behalf for our benefit, not as BGE's bully spoke/represented in s.west's Comments above. A utility isn't a private company but a PUBLIC utility and as such must work with its customers through our elected officials and their administrative arms. And, we as voters must remember this when we enter the polls come this November and more especially November 2014.

I have the BEST SOLUTION...Keep the bureaucrats OUT of the process or making ANY decision because bureaucrats have NO idea how a business is run. Too much taxing of utilities that the government has NO hand in producing a damn thing, other than headaches for the public, so called bad service (which I have NEVER had a problem in 30 yrs at my residence). Politicians are the problem. Oh yeah, on the smart meter issue, you are right, smart people are smart consumers. Kep the politicians out and the taxes and fees they charge and everything will be fine.

Breaking news, May 24 2012: PSC allows customers to defer smart meter installations. On May 24th, Maryland PSC issued Order number 84926, which says that customers may ask utilities not to install a smart meter. The Commission's order is effective as of May 24th and affects customers in the Baltimore Gas & Electric, Potomac Electric Power Company and Delmarva Power service territories.
Order No. 84926, in reference to Cases 9207 and 9208, explicitly states that "the utilities shall refrain from installing a smart meter in the home or business of any customer who notifies the utility in writing that they do not wish to have a smart meter installed." Also, customers who already have smart meters installed, but do not wish to have one may inform their utility in writing. The utility cannot activate those customers' smart meter transmitters until the Commission issues its final decision on these issues. The Commission also stated emphatically that "WE HAVE NOT REACHED ANY DECISION AS TO WHETHER TO PERMIT THE CUSTOMERS OF THE UTILITIES IN THESE CASES TO "OPT-OUT" OF RECEIVING A SMART METER PERMANENTLY OR, IF SO, WHAT THE TERMS OF ANY POSSIBLE FUTURE OPT-OUT MIGHT INCLUDE," and that "[t]his Interim Order should not be read to suggest or foreshadow anything beyond the purely interim directive it contains."

Smart meters emit microwave radiation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Pacific Gas and Electric reported that up to 190,000 messages can be communicated via one smart meter in only 24 hours. In April, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine recommended against smart meters. It issued a position paper entitled, Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields Effect on Human Health. According to the report, "Multiple studies correlate RF exposure with diseases such as cancer, neurological disease, reproductive disorders, immune dysfunction, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity."
Smart meters raise privacy concerns. According to a February 2012 Congressional Research Service Report entitled Smart Meter: Privacy and Cybersecurity, the Department of Energy reported that by matching data with known appliance load signatures, smart meters will be able to reveal people's daily schedules, their appliances and electronic equipment, and whether they use certain types of medical equipment. Utilities will have the data to discern the behavior of occupants in their home over a period of time.

Do people realize that while not "smart" meters Pepco, BGE, Washington Gas, and many other utilities have been using very similar meters that transmit meter reads for the last 18 plus years. No complaints - except people are very happy to have a non-estimated read and they are happy they don't need to be home to let the meter reader inside. Not much difference between the existing meters and "smart" meters.
10:49 pm on Monday, May 28, 2012
There are BIG differences between our current meters and "AMI" smart meters. Unlike current meters, the AMI "smart" meters have transmitters and receivers. The AMI "smart" meters emit microwave radiation carrying data to the neighbor's smart meter, which sends data via microwave radiation to the next neighbor's smart meter, and so on in a wireless mesh until it reaches repeaters and the utility. Our children playing in the yard will be exposed to more microwave radiation.
New AMI smart meters will work with a Home Area Network to collect and transmit detailed information on electric product use in the home. As people purchase new appliances, they will have "smart" chips. Information such as what time you turn on your washing machine and what time the cycle finishes will be tracked and transmitted. This information will transmitted via microwave radiation to the Home Area Network and on to the smart meter. As we add new appliances to our homes, there will be a substantial increase in microwave radiation inside and outside our homes. Visualize lines of RF waves from your television sets, dishwasher, electric toothbrush, hair dryer, DVD player, video game player, dryer, refrigerator etc to the Home Area Network and smart meter.
Smart meters will drastically increase microwave radiation inside and outside our homes. The smart meter system will be an experiment on the health of individuals and challenge our privacy.

I am having a new a/c unit installed. The technicians told me that they need to disconnect my Pepco smart meter for the a/c installation and that I would need to contact Pepco to have the smart meter re-connected. Does anyone know if I can choose at this time to tell Pepco not to re-connect my smart meter, and instead come to take the device back? I would like to understand my options before I contact Pepco.
2:46 pm on Wednesday, June 13, 2012
Yes, Pepco has now promised its Maryland customers that they will remove a smart meter and reinstall the analog meter. You can get information about how to notify Pepco at http://www.centerforsaferwireless.org/Smart-Meters-in-Maryland.php or www.marylandsmartmeterawareness.org

The Center for Safer Wireless has some explaining to do.
Christine Hoch was a guest on Deanna Spingola's radio show.
In case you don't know, Spingola is a hard-core Holocaust-denier, zionist-conspiracist and anti-semite. A visit of Spingola's site and a few searches will confirm this.
Has there ever been an apology or explanation for her participation in that show?
An executive director of a 501(c)3 organization has no business going on a hate mongering radio station -- period. Christine Hoch at the very least chose unwise company.
The Center For Safer Wireless, ostensibly an established to educate the public on wireless safety, is a pseudoscience-obsessed organization that misinforms the public.
By promoting conspiracy theories about wireless industry and government, it's hardly surprising that they cross paths with hard-core 9/11 and zionist conspiracy theorists. The appearance on Spingola's hate radio station is an unfortunate (we hope) consequence.
10:20 pm on Wednesday, June 13, 2012
There is research cited from the Cleavland Clinic, Journal of American Medical Association and other peer reviewed journals at the Center for Safer Website www.centerforsaferwireless.org. In May 2011, the World Health Organization determined, based on cell phone research that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields are a possible human carcinogen, class 2B. http://www.centerforsaferwireless.org/documents/AnnouncementMay31carcinogen.pdf. This classification include diesel exhaust, lead, and chloroform.
Deanna Spingola promotes alternative health solutions.You, on the other hand, are engaging in fear mongering.
Let other people read the information and make their own determinations instead of leading them on with your biased opinions.

Take a look at her guest list, which includes the show Christine was on. She's a dangerous wacko.
12:41 am on Thursday, June 14, 2012
Spingola is a Holocaust Denier and anti-semite and you view her as a promoter of "alternative health?" I am absolutely dumbfounded. I genuinely thought your participation on Spingola was an error and one for which you would apologize.
Your organization should be in horror. Here are some topics from the SpingolaSpeaks YouTube channel -- you can see what SHE REALLY PROMOTES!
"Zionist infiltration and domination of America..."
"the importance of Debunking Holocaust Lies ..."
"the outrageous criminal tactics used by Zionists and Holocaust Defenders"
"6 million Holo-Myths and Occult Origins of Holocaust Dogma.."
"Mossad involvement in the events of Sept 11th."
I really thought you were simply a run-of-the-mill anti-wireless quack who made a dumb mistake. Now I find your discussion of Spingola quite disconcerting.
8:12 am on Thursday, June 14, 2012
Stop with these irrelevant comments you keep making. If you have an agenda, go promote it somewhere else. This is a community forum and only comments relevant to the subject article shoudl be discussed.
6:42 pm on Thursday, June 14, 2012
I will decide if and when I will stop. You have no sway, no argument and apparently no decency. Christine has yet to apologize for her guest participation with Spingola whom she sees as a promoter of "alternative health" whatever that means.
Christine continues to misinform via her junk science website. She should expect criticism and condemnation wherever and whenever she posts.

@Anton, you must be new around here. And the comments about Ms. Hoch are completely relevant. Malaprop THANK YOU AND CARRY ON. The Center for Safe Wireless is not a "center" at all. Does that give anyone pause?
There are actual factual websites with lots of good information. Here's a legitimate website if you are concerned:
11:30 pm on Thursday, June 14, 2012
Thanks for you support. Christine's behavior is inexcusable -- calling me biased and calling Spingola, the unrepentant holocaust denier and anti-semite, a promoter of "alternative health." The center for safer wireless website spews bogus and biased information and does a terrible disservice. I'm amazed it has tax exempt status.
The site presents unsubstantiated claims to sow fear and encourages you to use their services for EMF site measurements.
Just to clarify, the marylandsmartmeterawareness.org site is not legitimate. I have complained about this elsewhere. The scientists quoted are far outside the mainstream and many are considered charlatans. The site is full of misinformation.
The fact is that there is no research supporting negative effect from smart meters.

Hi, Jeff, yes, they are serious but I can't say anything about the accuracy of their claims. This was a public meeting of the President's Commission on the Study of Bioethical Issues. Usually they don't take comments from the public and hold very staid meetings about esoteric issues. Folks were asking the Commission to study their concerns. They did not agree to do that.

"Health, environmental, privacy, and billing concerns have all been voiced over the installation of these meters. Citizen action groups and websites have been formed.

This document will summarize these concerns and is focused on the emission from meters and exposure prevention."

The 2013 Memorial Day Holiday Car Sales Promotions have started… 2 weeks early.
So what does all this TV, Radio Newspaper and Mailbox stuffing mean to you, the USED CAR shopper?
As the pent-up demand and improved economy has pushed the old rust-buckets to the end of their tire tread, more and more car shoppers are pulling or dragging their trades into the dealerships. While that seems to bode well for those not ready to buy a new 2012 or 2013, the reality is the increased demand for new cars isn't promising an abundance of nice low mile used cars.
The reality is unlike years past, the recession of 2008 cut the normal flow of off-lease vehicles, large batches of "program" or rental car fleets and kept the average car owner in their paid-off ride almost 3 years longer than usual. The result is a lot of trades coming into the market with no life left to live or drive. In most cases, the honorable dealerships are sending these "wholesale" or "auction" cars straight to the auction where most will be salvaged for parts. However, in some cases, the buy-here-pay-here and second chance car lots are snapping these JUNKERS up, regardless of the over 125,000 mile odometer. The demand for under $4000.00 cars has put many borderline safe vehicles on the road with financially distressed buyers left no choice but to pay outrageous payments to have personal transportation.
The $12,000-$15,000.00 used car for sale of 2013 Memorial Day…
As the price of JUNKERS broaches the $5,000.00 realm, the nice low mile, three year old car of yesterday, is now a five year old 40,000 miler. At this point, I strongly suggest you visit the new car showroom for a re-evaluation. Add up the rebates, special interest rates or other incentives, the manufacturer warranty and if the math reflects a $5000.00 or less margin, get the new car. If you have to trade a Toyota for a Kia, or Honda for Hyundai, so be it. The used Toyota Avalon may have more bells and whistles, but a new 2013 Ford Taurus may be a better deal in the long run.
Forget the KBB.com, Kelly Blue Book, NADA or EDMUNDS report, your car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, in the best possible condition, or the condition it is presently in. These online programs are guides, that often add the value of the new car rebate, or dealers "over-allowance" into the data. Don't go spending a bunch of money fixing cosmetic dings, or major stuff like tires, shocks or air conditioning, the dealer can repair it cheaper and faster. There are so many factors that can skew the "trade-in value", the MYCARLADY rule of thumb is take the value of your trade-in on three websites, at average or fair condition, add them together, divide by three. Take this sum and reduce it by $1000.00. There,you now have a fair, conservative, objective trade-in value from which to base your buying decision when considering the dealerships trade-in figure, sans tax credit (if applicable). I like to keep the trade-in value separate from the net discount off the new car, whenever possible.
LUXURY CARS the BEST USED CAR DEALS of 2013 MEMORIAL DAY.
BUY miles per year not year over miles.
What I mean by this is, take the number of miles the car has and divide by the number of calendar years old the car is. Example: I'd rather have a five year old car with an average 10k miles per year than the three year old car with 50,000 miles. If you are stuck on body style, or the vehicle has since been discontinued, this principle may need ot be adjusted accordingly.
USED 2008-2011 luxury nameplates; Jaguar, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Lexus and Infiniti offer the best bang for the buck this holiday shopping season. Many luxury buyers have trimmed their over-sized garages and dispensed with extra vehicles they no longer need or want. These low mile, garaged cars are often the best kept secret of savvy used car shoppers who regularly look to minimize their car costs by seeking out the nicest trades. Their relationship with the salespeople at luxury car lots gets them the inside track when a "cream-puff" or "cherry" rolls onto the lot. These one owner or off-lease beauties are typically well maintained and will be serviced and certified (extended factory warranties) by the dealership. Certification often comes with special LOW interest rate financing, factory service and parts coverage up to 100k miles and above average loan terms.
Here is an example of a five year old Jaguar with less than 10k miles per year.
For those of you in need of cheap transportation, special financing – second chance interest rate auto loans and other options, there are some reputable used car dealers willing to help.
Be sure you check both the CARFAX and AUTOCHECK to insure against discrepancies in vehicle ID information. Ask to see the actual title of the car, and a recent service history.
Contact the local dealership of the brand and ask the service department to verify the vehicle is up to date with all recalls, service bulletins and factory campaigns by asking the service adviser to check the vin number through their database. If you are unsure how or what the details mean, send MYCARLADY.com an email and we will help you out, no charge.
All-in-all, be careful shopping used cars this 2013 (or any) Memorial Day Summer Selling Saleabration of car sales. I know important vacation plans can be made around that family trip to the Grand Canyon BUT the wrong car purchased in haste can be at the very least costly and even worse, dangerous. Do your homework carefully. If you need help, contact MyCarlady (advice is free.) and if you can't find the right car for your budget and needs, considering renting that minivan for the trip to Grandma's house.

T-Birds' Nickerson in hunt for 2A state golf title
Despite poor weather conditions Tuesday, Tumwater's Seth Nickerson is two shots off the lead going into today's final round of the 2A state golf tournament at The Classic Golf Club in Spanaway.
"I played all right," said Nickerson, who shot a 5-over-par 77. "I just made one bad swing. Other than that, I played pretty well. I didn't putt great at all, so I left a lot of shots out there on the greens. But, overall, I hit it pretty well.
"I haven't been able to practice that much," he added. "I've been working quite a bit trying to save up for college next year and my knee is not feeling the greatest. So all things considered, it wasn't too bad."
Even with the defending 2A champ Ryan Wallen of Blaine and reigning Washington State Golf Association junior boys player of the year Andrew Whalen of Ephrata in the field, it was Port Angeles' Joe Barnes atop the leaderboard with a 3 over 75.
Wallen is tied with Nickerson at 77, and Whalen is one shot behind at 78.
Nickerson said having Whalen and others in the tournament makes it a tough field.
"He (Whalen) actually played better than I did today," the future Pacific Lutheran golfer said. "Unfortunately, he had a two-stroke penalty, but this is a competitive division and if you can be anywhere near the top with all these kids, I mean, there is just so many good players. It feels good to look up at the leaderboard and to see you're in contention."
Whalen received a two-stroke penalty, and he said the wet weather was the reason.
"I got penalized for moving water off of the green," said the Northwestern University-bound Whalen. "Things happen."
With a mixture of heavy rain and drizzle throughout the day, the course conditions weren't the best.
"It was pretty tough," Whalen said. "The greens aren't that nice right now with all the water. It was hard to make putts."
"It was really tough today," Nickerson added. "It didn't stop raining and it was completely soaked. The greens started to get a lot of water on them. Everything was against us today, that's for sure."
For others, the rain helped the course a little.
"It played easier than last year," said South Whidbey's Harrison Price, who shot a 78. "The rain softened it up a little. It was still tough. If you don't hit the ball straight, you're going to get stuck in the trees. It's just tough to get out from there."

Arkansas Razorbacks Football
Collins Signs With Razorbacks, Joins Class After 24-Hour Delay
FAYETTEVILLE — South Plantation (Fla.) High running back Alex Collins was introduced as the 23rd member of Arkansas' 2013 signing class on Thursday.
It doesn't mean the bizarre saga involving his mother, who has a different idea about where the 18-year-old should attend college, is completely over.
Fayetteville Three To Remain Teammates At Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE — Austin Allen, Alex Brignoni and Brooks Ellis helped Fayetteville climb to the top of Arkansas high school football. Wednesday, the three longtime friends and Bulldog teammates officially began their quest to help Arkansas climb to the top of the Southeastern Conference.
Allen, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound quarterback, Ellis, a 6-3, 220-pound linebacker, and Brignoni, a 6-1, 195-pound free safety, were the backbone of Fayetteville's Class 7A state championship teams the past two seasons. Now, they'll continue on as teammates as each signed National Letters of Intent with Arkansas.
Greenwood's Morgan signs with UA
GREENWOOD — Drew Morgan used a football analogy to describe his oral commitment to the Arkansas Razorbacks in December when the team was without a head coach.
"I took a leap of faith and went for it on fourth-and-1," Morgan said.
Korliss Marshall signs with UA
OSCEOLA — Korliss Marshall will tell you there were many times he worried that Wednesday's celebration would never materialize. Yet here he was on National Signing Day, standing in front of the entire student body and calling the Hogs with his high school head coach, Russell Leggett.
A week ago he was meeting with University of Arkansas football coaches, hoping that their trip to see him would include an offer. Now the Osceola star running back is one of seven in-state players who will head to Fayetteville this summer on a football scholarship.
Collins Saga Dominates Bielema's First Signing Day With Razorbacks
FAYETTEVILLE — The signing day board in the Miller Room had 22 names on it when Arkansas coach Bret Bielema walked in and sat on stage Wednesday.
It included four offensive linemen who will build the foundation for Arkansas' ground game. There were eight in-state players who reached long-time dreams of playing for the Hogs. There were athletes Hawaii and Australia.
Arkansas Working On South Florida Pipeline With First Class
FAYETTEVILLE — Doug Gatewood has coached in South Florida for years.
So South Plantation High's coach has worked with his share of athletes who have been coveted by college programs. He has watched recruiters come and go, making sales pitches to coaches, administrators, prospects and families alike.
Florida Running Back Makes Verbal Commitment To Razorbacks
FAYETTEVILLE — Bret Bielema has secured a verbal commitment from his first high-profile player since becoming Arkansas' coach on Dec. 4.
South Plantation (Fla.) High running back Alex Collins announced his plans to sign with the Razorbacks on national signing day. Collins revealed his college choice during a live television broadcast on Fox Sports South on Monday night.
Former Players Respond To Coaches Claims They Quit On Season
FAYETTEVILLE – Former Arkansas coaches Paul Petrino, Paul Haynes and John L. Smith told The Sporting News they believed some members of the 2012 quit on the staff during the Razorbacks' 4-8 season.
It's no surprise a few former Razorbacks disagreed after the story was published.

Election 2012: Follow the Money Given to Obama and Romney in Your Town
Patch has a new interactive campaign contribution database that lets you see who's donating each candidate and how much.
Patch has created an interactive database so you can see how much your neighbors are donating to the presidential campaign — and to which candidate they're writing their checks. We've included communities across Illinois, so if you want to see what the campaign contributions in nearby towns are like, go right ahead.
The information in the database was downloaded from the Federal Election Commission's website. The data is based on quarterly reports and is current through July. The data will be updated in mid-October.
10:54 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
Isn't it ironic that we can see the donation amount, & employer of our neighbors, but corporations, who were declared "people" by the Citizens United case, can anonymously donate money to Super PACs...
Old H.P.
6:33 pm on Thursday, October 4, 2012
No one says Corporations are people but the law says they are and shall be considered an entity. Business 101.
3:39 pm on Thursday, October 4, 2012
Corporations were declare people by the mindless left, and were meant to fill the heads of their empty headed followers. Nowhere in the court decision is this nonsense present. Try getting your information from other sources.
Procrustes' Foil
5:30 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
McCloud, corporations were declared people by a right-wing Supreme Court led by Roberts, Scalia, Alitto, Thomas and Kennedy. The Progressives, Bryer, Bader-Ginsberg, Sotomayor and Kagan, voted against this abomination.
Guido McGinty
9:47 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
"corporations were declared people by a right-wing Supreme Court led by Roberts, Scalia, Alitto, Thomas and Kennedy."
So groups of people are not people? Do you think about what you write?
4:14 pm on Thursday, October 4, 2012
Lets see I typed in my neighbors last name and 50 people with same last name came up
Jennifer Fisher
4:27 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
It might help if you know your neighbor's first name, too.
9:42 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
My first and last name are on you list and I didn't give.
So Patch is causing harrassment problems
Mr Tibbs
3:54 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
interesting, but unscientific observations... for Glenview, there are about 30 pages of Obama contributions and about 7 for Romney. Though the individual contribution amounts for Romney seem to be higher.
5:46 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
No surprise. Obama relies on lots of small donors. Romney relies on fewer, richer ones.
8:23 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Obama also relies on unions which tend to get a pass - they should be treated no differently than corporations.
9:39 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Not many small donors of either party goto $40,000 a plate dinners
3:22 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
President Obama's reelection campaign, rattled by his Wednesday night debate performance, could be in for even worse news. According to knowledgeable sources, a national magazine and a national web site are preparing a blockbuster donor scandal story.
Sources told Secrets that the Obama campaign has been trying to block the story. But a key source said it plans to publish the story Friday or, more likely, Monday.
According to the sources, a taxpayer watchdog group conducted a nine-month investigation into presidential and congressional fundraising and has uncovered thousands of cases of credit card solicitations and donations to Obama and Capitol Hill, allegedly from unsecure accounts, and many from overseas. That might be a violation of federal election laws.
The Obama campaign has received hundreds of millions in small dollar donations, many via credit card donations through their website. On Thursday, the campaign announced a record September donor haul of $150 million.
At the end of the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama-Biden effort was hit with a similar scandal. At the time, the Washington Post reported that the Obama campaign let donors use "largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity."
5:48 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
Also, if I want to know who my neighbor is voting for, I can check out the yard sign or just ask. What I really want to know is what 50K buys you other than dinner and some comedic insults of the 99% or 47% or 30% or whatever?
5:37 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Wrong, read the ruling. When your source of information is fed to you like a baby bird, one tends to have throw up in their mouth.

as expected this movie is full of entertainment. The one liners of Chulbul pandey were awesome.
Complete 2 hour masala entertainment with catchy dialogues and an item number that will hum for a while and will make it to the ring tone list on your phone.
I love Salman a lot, and I would always go for his movies but this was an unbelievable let down especially after ek tha tiger, which also had no story line. He seriously needs a new script writer !
The movie is a normal Salman Masala picture... Few reviewsStunts ? Good Songs ? Good Story ? Very PoorDirection ? OkComedy - OkOverall I will rate as ok for seeing one time for a time pass
A two hour movie, nothing in it other than few Sllu bhai's typical dialogues we like.Khan's are minting money...I expect Salman to bring entertainment.

On the morning of July 31, I went to Camden to meet my younger sister, Joyce Jackson. On my way home I took Fork Hill Road. The tire on the driver side blew out just as I was going around a curve.
When I finally got control I stopped the car. I was then able to make one call and that was to my husband, J.C. Taylor.
A car went around me but it came to a stop at the foot of the hill in front of Macedonia Baptist Church. The driver backed up the hill. A young, small Hispanic man got out of the car.
Area football fans will get a major dose of high school pigskin action tonight at Lancaster Memtorial Stadium.
The stadium, entering its 43rd season, will host wall-to-wall prep football starting at 6 p.m, when Andrew Jackson, under interim Volunteers' coach David Moore, leads his team against Class A foe McBee High School in the seventh annual Founders Federal Credit Union Kickoff Classic.
Founders serves as the corporate sponsor, while The Lancaster News, Carolina Gateway and Carolina Shopper are the event's media sponsors.
There are so many who could share their story about Dr. William Duke's influence on their lives. I can only tell a brief overview of my story. The whole story would take hundreds of pens and miles of paper.
I came to work in Marion Sims Memorial Hospital in 1967, two weeks after graduating from nursing at USC. Although I graduated on campus in Columbia, many of my classes were at the Universtiy of South Carolina at Lancaster with Caroline Funderburk as my instructor.
I read with great interest Sam Slack's recent letter, "Libertarianism will add to our nation's problems," I beg to differ with him the Republican Party has not changed its core philosophy since its inception.
It is for a small federal government with states' having rights within their borders. Most of the ridiculous things he cites do not even deserve an answer.
However, I will tell you that the best person for the job of U.S. Congressman in the 5th District is Mick Mulvaney.
Based on the comments in the online section of The Lancaster News, it is obvious a lot of people have opinions on the new Evidence Preservation Act but don't have a clue what the law actually requires. I would like to take this opportunity to answer some of the questions and comments regarding the Act.
I have heard that there is a small cemetery somewhere in Lancaster County with members of the Sims family buried in it. It is possibly a family burying ground.
In the 1950s, it was on "Robert's current own land." I have heard that Garrett Sims, who died in the 1880s, was buried there.
If anyone has heard of this cemetery, or any other small family cemeteries in the area, I would appreciate an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or a phone call at (334) 444-6705.

Auburn, Ala.
I hope this letter will help keep someone else from making the same mistake I did. I never thought this would happen to me. I even looked in the mirror to see if I had "Stupid" splashed across my forehead.
I let a young man cheat me out of a lot of money. He came to my house and talked me into letting him pave my driveway with recycled asphalt.
I know that this can be a good thing if it is done right, but this was not done right.
It's about choice. Each individual chooses whether to use tobacco products or not. Those who choose to do so should not be ostracized.
Those who choose not to use tobacco produces should not be subjected to second-hand smoke and a sidewalk dotted with used tobacco chaws outside county-owned buildings.
That is the reason behind Lancaster County Council's recent decision to implement smoking buffer zones around county buildings.
Driving home from a business trip in Atlanta recently, I was trying to stay alert. Zooming down that lonely stretch of State Road 12 headed toward Bristol, I suddenly recalled a song I heard in my teenage years.
I haven't thought much about that song in my adult years until now. Perhaps I was thinking about the song because my cousins had come to visit.
When the S.C. Republican Party met in Columbia last year, there was a spirited race to decide who would serve as our representatives to the Republican National Committee.
We were to elect two from South Carolina. Cindy Costa from Charleston was elected commiteewoman and Glenn McCall from Rock Hill was elected committeeman. Glenn was the first black to be elected national committeeman from our state and he was easily the overwhelming choice of that mostly conservative group.
To all drivers on Barberville Road in Fort Mill: I have adopted the highway you travel.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would adhere to the posted speed limit of 40 mph while I'm picking up trash.
There have been many times vehicles passed me going so fast that you'd think it was Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Just last week I had to dive into a ditch to keep from getting hit. It's only a two-mile stretch, so please slow down.
Sheilah Plonk
Indian Land
I started Indian Land School in 1957 and finished in 1969. I was sad to hear of Mr. W.P. Leaphart passing.
A lot of newcomers I'm sure don't know, but this man was the best of the best in what he did and guided a lot of students as he was a great teacher.
His knowledge was vast. He was a soft-spoken man who could point you to the correct way to do tasks. He was always helpful to the community as he ran the cannery in summer and taught adult classes in welding, small engines, etc.
Sam Slack's letter, "Libertarianism will add to our nation's problems," was some leap of faith to ask readers to take in going from a textbook discussion of libertarianism to accusing two Republican candidates of actually endorsing, without any supporting facts, such proposals as these.
We are all entitled to our own opinions, but when we state such opinions in public, we should ensure that readers know our background and motivation. I am the president of the Republican Club in Sun City.
Seems the S.C. Legislature has been watching those "CSI" re-runs and has come up with an act that directs law enforcement agencies to store evidence relating to a number of different crimes. Another home run for the convicted criminal. It not only offers the chance for a new trial, but a complete review of the evidence relating to the crime, which is being stored under the most ideal of conditions.
I would like to thank Richard Band and the staff of our local library for another successful summer reading program. It started with the Literacy Fair, which was great fun for everyone. There were free balloons, games and tickets to spend on hot dogs, dri-nks, cotton candy and more.
The front yard of the library was filled with lots of booths with information and free books to encourage reading. There were lots of goodies kids love.
"Ms. Brenda" Parker and her puppeteers presented fun stories inside the library.
It has been said that the first casualty of war is the truth. After reading an article in The Lancaster News entitled, "Mulvaney challenges Spratt on budget, taxes," it seems truth is also a victim of Mr. Mulvaney's attempt to unseat Mr. Spratt.
Mr. Mulvaney claims that the House of Representatives will fail to pass a budget for the first time since 1974. That is simply not true.
The last time the House failed to pass a budget was in 2006, when the Republicans were in the majority.
I want to personally apologize for the cancellation of the BloodStock blood drive on July 22 at the Van Wyck Community Center. Due to technical difficulties, the blood drive was cancelled.
The donors who had left phone numbers were contacted immediately to inform them of the situation. If you were not called, I apologize. Many people were contacted and were attempted to be contacted and I apologize if you fell through the cracks and were not contacted.
Our military can win anywhere in the world, when allowed. Yet, President Barack Obama repeatedly speaks to reducing our forces? Our troops are brave and strong, but how many rotations does he expect them to make? Will the sacrifice of laying down their lives ever end. He has said that it is his opinion the military should pay for their medical, be reduced in size and take pay cuts. "Troops understand the risk of injury when they volunteer to serve," Obama said. How stupid is that? Get a leg blown off and pay for it to? No thanks.
Who is the Republican running against U.S. Rep. John Spratt this fall?
I can't determine if the candidate is the new state senator from Lancaster County or someone from the national GOP.
It seems like every quote from his campaign is not from the candidate, but from some hack in Washington.
This begs the question, "Who needs a puppet from the Republican National Committee representing South Carolina's 5th District?"
The GOP has made a number of salacious, misleading and downright false statements about Congressman Spratt.
We attended a Lancaster outdoor Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party on July 3. On April 15 we attended a Tea Party at the same location. About 300 people attended the April event and about 500 attended the July party.
Liberal moderate Republican Lindsey Graham recently said, "The TEA parties will die out."
Well, I know where he stands and it is not with the people who voted him into office. The conservative people can forget getting any support from him.
