GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — One of the key players who helped put Michael Elliot behind bars said he doesn't know whether Elliot committed four murders in 1993, and that he got involved in the case because he didn't have a choice.
Elliot, 40, escaped from the Ionia Correctional Facility on Feb. 2. He made it as far as LaPorte, Ind. — allegedly carjacking one woman and stealing a total of four vehicles — before being captured after a brief police chase on Feb. 3.
Elliot was serving five life sentences for four homicides near Midland in Gladwin County. He and Charles Treece were convicted of the killings. Charles' brother Paul Treece and Charles' girlfriend Tammy LaCross also served time related to the murders — they both struck plea deals for lesser charges and testified against Elliot.
Edward Hendrix of Grand Rapids testified against Elliot during his trial in 1994, saying he bragged about the murders.
Hendrix said he had two choices: To be either a witness to the crime or an informant for police. He chose to help police.
"I didn't want to do it in the first place. They [the defendants] used me for an alibi," Edward Hendrix said.
Hendrix said he met Michael Elliot at the W.J. Maxey Boys Training School, a camp for juvenile delinquents north of Ann Arbor.
"When we got out, we ended up meeting up because he lived in Saginaw and I lived in Grand Rapids, so after that we became friends and just hung out in the neighborhood," Hendrix said.
He said Elliot introduced him to the Treeces, and they introduced him to LaCross.
Hendrix said he wasn't at the murder scene and doesn't know who did what. All he knows is what happened after.
"The police pulled up and they were looking for me," Hendrix said.
Two days after the murders, Hendrix said, he was at a party store near Burton Street and Palace Avenue SE in Grand Rapids when police approached him.
"They said they already knew that Tammy and Paul and everybody was involved because they had fingerprints and evidence that they were there, so basically they said, 'Either you can go with being their alibi or you can work with us,'" Hendrix said. "I wasn't there. I didn't have anything to do with it and they wasn't with me, so I wasn't going to be an alibi for them."
So Hendrix participated in a secretly recorded conversation involving Tammy LaCross and Paul Treece. In it, they discussed what happened the night of the murders.
According to transcripts provided by Hendrix, he is quoted saying that Elliot told him, "Yeah, we smoked them hoes."
It was that conversation that helped put Elliot behind bars, along with other evidence and testimony.
Elliot has maintained his innocence and filed several appeals — all of which have been rejected.
Earlier this month, Charles Treece told 24 Hour News 8 in an phone interview from the Alger Correctional Facility in the UP — where he is serving five life sentences — that he and LaCross committed the murders and that Elliot is innocent.
Elliot remains locked up on auto theft charges in Indiana, where he is fighting extradition. Whether he's headed back to Michigan may be decided Friday.

The older you get the less tolerance for fakeness and fake people and negative people and you slowly start to realize who are really your friends and who are the people who just remember you when they need something. You will be shocked to how many people live their life like its a Kuwait musalsal or hindi Film.
Somehow a whatsapp message turns into a family feud! Some people are deeply offended by things that you didnt even notice or do consciously and its those people you need to limit your interactions with. The more you spend with them the more they will twist your actions and words and spread rumors and believe me if im looking for drama i will just watch my Turkish musasal.
I am like a sponge .. ana SBonJiBob... if the people around me are dramatic i feel tension and drama. If the people around me are negative and depressing i tend to feel depressed and feel the need to solve their problems. Then one day you wake up and realize those people who depressed you with their problems are not as depressed about thier problems as you are. You realize people will only share the negative things and hide the good things that happen to them in fear of " 7asad".
You will one day wake up and realize how short life is and if you waste it trying to please people who will never ever be pleased, or trying to fit in the wrong group of people you will only feel worse and you will never ever please them.
Think about yourself and what you want. Do not get out of your way to see those who will pull you down and hurt you. Be around those who lift you up and care for you because life is short and...

History of
From History of Ingham and Eaton Counties, Michigan
by Samuel W. Durant
Published 1880 by D.W. Ensign & Co., Philadelphia
The ROLFE Brothers
Ephraim, Nathan, Benjamin, Ira, Hazen, and Manasseh ROLFE, from Vermont and
New York, all located in the township. ( Ira Rolfe was directly from Thetford,
Orange Co., Vt. His brothers had lived in Genesee Co., N.Y. Ira is the only
survivor of the six brothers, and is seventy-eight years of age.)
The following account of the settlement of Benjamin ROLFE in this township was written by his son, Alvin ROLFE, and is preserved in the records of the County Pioneer Society:
"In 1834 my father, Benjamin Rolfe, and family moved from Thetford, Orange Co., Vt., to Genesee Co., N.Y. They stayed there until June, 1836, then moved to Michigan. They started from Bethany Thursday, and got to Detroit Sunday morning, coming on the boat 'Thomas Jefferson.' It was in the time of the great June freshet, which many will remember. The country from Detroit to Ann Arbor was completely covered with water. It took us from Monday morning until Friday night to get to Saline, in Washtenaw Co., - distance forty miles, which can now be traveled in two hours. Came from Saline to Jackson, and stopped there until we looked up land, which was in this town. We went to the land-office in Kalamazoo and took up the land, paying $100 for eighty acres. We started from Jackson Monday morning, cut our road to Vevay, and had to ford Grand River. We built a shanty on the place I now live on. This was the first blow struck in this part of the town,* - July, 1836.....The first time I went to Mason there was a small piece chopped on the section-line, near where the DONNELLY house now stands, by E.B. DANFORTH. The next spring he sowed it to turnips, raising the largest I ever saw. Our nearest saw- and grist-mill was at Jackson. Some would like to know how we got along without lumber to build with. For floors we cut nice basswood logs and split them into planks, 'spotted' them on the under side, and laid them down as even as we could, then adzed them off, which made quite passable flooring. For a roof we peeled bark. For gable-ends we split shakes. The first lumber we got in Jackson, for a coffin for a sister of mine. She died April 7, 1837, and I think was the first person who died in the town. The first marriage was that of Jasper WOLCOTT and Harriet SERGEANT, now the wife of Edwin HUBBARD. The first birth, I think, was Nelson WOLCOTT, son of Jasper WOLCOTT. The first saw-mill built in the county was by E. B. DANFORTH. A man by the name of LACEY took the job in the summer of 1836. The first grist-mill was started by Mr. DANFORTH, who got a pair of mill-stones about twenty inches in diameter, set them in the corner of his saw-mill, and propelled them by the bull-wheel of the mill. Many a bag of corn have I carried on my back from my place to Mason, without any road, to get it ground. The first road we had from my place to Mason was cut in 1837."
Mr. ROLFE speaks of the "money" in circulation in 1836-37 as follows:
The "neighborhood," at the time of which Mr. ROLFE writes, extended thirty or forty miles. He at one time went to the raising of a saw-mill, at the old village of Jefferson, on section 29, in Alaiedon township. It was up by dark and Mr. ROLFE returned home, arriving about two o'cock in the morning.
Peter LINDERMAN
"Our nearest neighbor north of us was Mr. SCOTT, distant twenty five miles. We did not see those neighbors very often, but heard of them often, as hardly a night passed but our house was filled with men looking after land. When I first saw Mason, there were, I think, twenty acres chopped, two log houses, and a saw-mill being built. Mr. LACY and Mr. BLAIN, with their families, were the only white people living here. Mr. DANFORTH came soon after and took charge of affairs as the agent of the village. During the winter the saw-mill was finished, and in the spring of 1837 the school-house was built. School commenced, I think, in June. Miss Lucy ROLFE taught for one dollar per week. There were eight pupils. The Indians often came to visit our school, and wondered what we were doing. The first night I stayed in Mason there were several hundred Indians encamped near where the court-house now stands. The first circuit preacher was a Mr. JACKSON, who preached one year. The first Presbyterian church was organized, in 1839, by the Rev. Mr. CHILDS, of Albion. The first settled pastor was the Rev. F.P. EMERSON, who stayed some three years.
"At Dexter was our nearest post-office and store, or grocery. I can remember, in the spring of 1837, that my father was appointed justice of the peace, and he had to go to Jackson to qualify. All the road that then existed was an Indian trail...Settlers came in fast, and Mason soon became a thriving village."
(William R. HORTON, brother to Mrs. Linderman, states that Mr. Linderman had come to Ann Arbor in May, 1836. During the summer he went to Kalamazoo and entered land for himself and Mr. Horton, and in the fall moved upon his own place in Vevay, arriving at evening on the 2nd day of October. On awakening the next morning they discovered about six inches of snow on the ground.)
James CHASE,
Joab PAGE
"My father, Joab PAGE, came with his family into Michigan in the winter of 1831-32; arrived at Jacksonburgh about the 16th of February, 1832,- then only one framed house there. This was built by a Mr. AMES; he then, having just buried his wife, rented the house to my father for a few months. Father built the first saw-mill in Jackson County. It was situated a few rods east of the present southern depot. The second one he built upon his own land, eight miles east of Jackson, and two miles south of the old trail-road running from Detroit to Marshall. He built and kept the first hotel in Grass Lake. In 1836 the emigration into the interior of Michigan was so great that we counted in one day over sixty wagons; it was almost a continuous string of teams, each carrying a family and their entire possessions. They usually carried and cooked their own provisions.
"In the year 1840 we moved to Vevay, Ingham Co., near the ROLFE settlement. We were obliged to cut our road to our home, one and a half miles. No schools nor districts were organized at that time, but the neighbors concluded to have a school. My sister, Orcelia PAGE, (now Mrs. G.D. PEASE), taught the school in a log shanty scarce higher than our head. The floor was made of logs split in two, with the flat side up; it had one window of glass, and a large stick-and-mud chimney, which let in a good supply of light from the top.
"During the first year of our residence the Rev. Mr. JACKSON (Methodist) preached a few times in the neighborhood. Our people made an abundance of maple-sugar. They took ox-teams and started for market, though it was very uncertain where they would find a family that had pork, flour, or potatoes to change for maple-sugar. They did not return as we had expected; in about two weeks we learned from a neighbor, who had returned from market, that our people were at Leoni and my husband seriously ill. I set out to find a way to go to him; walked one and a half miles to get a horse and then in another direction one and one half miles to get a wagon, and someone to drive for me and bring the team back. To get to Leslie, four and one half miles, we traveled eight, and then could not shun all the mud holes, for our wagon-box dipped mud and water several times, and sometimes it was with difficulty that we stayed in the wagon and kept it right side up."
In 1844 (September), Mr. PAGE and family removed to Lansing. He afterwards returned to Mason, where both he and his wife subsequently died.
Amadon HOLDEN,
William H. HORTON,
Nathan SEARL
The first winter Daniel SEARL was in Michigan he worked on the dam at Mason, which was located where the State road crosses Sycamore Creek, northwest of the present site of the DONNELLY house. In the fall of 1836, Mrs. SEARL, Sr., and ten children, with Abner BARTLETT, a son-in-law, came to the county. The latter settled in Vevay, and the other members of the family in Ingham. Two of the daughters were married the next year (1837), and removed to the township of Dexter, Washtenaw Co. Nathan SEARL, the father of this large family, died in July, 1869 or 1870, aged eighty-two years; his wife's death had occurred about sixteen years before. Of the entire family but four are now living,- Daniel, on section 15, in Vevay; Merrick, on section 11, in Vevay; Mrs. Otto BIGNALL and Mrs. Henry HUNT, both in the township of Vevay. Mrs. BIGNALL, who was one of the daughters married in 1837, is now a widow. Merrick SEARL, who was but five years of age when the family settled, lived at first in the township of Ingham with his brother Daniel. About 1853 he purchased the farm upon which he now resides. It was then wild, unimproved land, but will rank at present among the finest and best-improved farms in the township.
Hiram PARKER, Esq.,
When Mr. PARKER went to Kalamazoo to locate his land he made his application, but found so many ahead of him that it would be some time before his business could be attended to. He therefore made a trip to Illinois, and examined the country south from Chicago for about forty-five miles, not being much pleased therewith. On the shore of Lake Michigan he picked up a bed-cord which some pioneer had doubtless lost. He was accompanied by his sister's husband, Jesse MONROE, a soldier of 1812 (now of Lansing), and a young man named Blois HURD. They had a one-horse wagon, in which they carried their provisions. The streams were all very high, and they experienced much difficulty in getting through. In swimming Grand River- at what was afterwards known as Berry's bridge, they lost a portion of their provisions. Their route was along an Indian trail. Jesse Monroe settled in Clinton County, and HURD's father, Hinman HURD, in the township of Vevay, Ingham Co.
When Mr. PARKER went to Vermont to get married, he went by the way of Dexter and returned the same way. He thinks that, had he known a tenth part of what his experience was to be in the wilderness, he never would have asked anybody to come with him. He met Hinman HURD at Troy, N.Y. Mr. HURD had been out with the rest to look for land, but stayed at Jackson and allowed his son, Blois HURD, to make the selection in his place. From Jackson he returned East, in company with Deacon MERRITT, and was moving West with his family when met by Mr. PARKER at Troy. The latter bargained with him to come to his house in Vevay and put a roof upon it, but he (HURD) found a vacant house in Ingham township belonging to H.H. SMITH, which he moved into and occupied while building a house for himself on section 25, in Vevay. He was in Vevay about two weeks as a settler before Mr. PARKER returned, and was the first actual settler in the eastern part of the township. Mr. PARKER was the second, and Charles GRAY and family third. The nearest house was then that of a man living at the northern boundary of what is now the township of Henrietta, Jackson Co., about fifteen miles away.
In June, 1837, Mr. PARKER started for Dexter after flour. On the way he met a couple of men that informed him there was none for sale, as the had tried to purchase some and failed. It had all been purchased by a speculator at Ann Arbor. Mr. PARKER learned that there was some at Scio, and to that place he at once repaired. He found that the supply there had also been bought for speculative purposes, but he finally purchased two barrels of it of the miller, who was not particularly friendly to the speculator. The money paid for it was that of the bank of which the speculator was president, and was of the nature known as "wildcat." The miller had specified that the flour must be paid for in "good Eastern money;" but while Mr. PARKER was looking his roll of bills over to see if he had the necessary amount (twenty-five dollars) of the article required, the miller espied the "wildcat," and thought was good enough for the man, as it was his own money. It was paid and Mr. PARKER left with the flour. He had not reached home before he learned that the bank had failed and the money was of no account, and, as he had borrowed part of it, he considered he had procured his two barrels of flour at a very fair bargain. Very soon after making the purchase he learned that the price of flour had been raised to seventeen dollars per barrel.
After the county election in 1838 (the first after organization), it was provided that the board of county canvassers should meet to canvass the votes at the county-seat, or at the nearest house thereto. The county-seat, which had been laid out in the northeast portion of the township, on sections 1 and 12, was a fine-looking place- on paper; but no improvements had been made nor county buildings erected, and the board met at the home of Hiram PARKER, as the nearest to the county-seat. Charles THAYER & Co., the proprietors of the land on which the seat of justice for Ingham County had been located, built a log house at the locality, but it was never occupied for dwelling purposes, and the hopes of the projectors of the "county-site" were destined to be dashed to the earth. Their proposed city was soon forgotten, and the thrifty village of Mason sprang up farther west, which became the county-seat in 1840.
Charles GRAY,
Mrs. SPENCER was formerly Mrs. Manly GRAY, she having been married to him in February, 1846. They remained on the old farm with his father. Manly GRAY died Nov. 1, 1865, and his sister Emeline, afterwards Mrs. Loren RICE, of Leslie, died in 1863. The other sister, Eliza, married Daniel POTTER, and is now living in Bunker Hill township. Mrs. Manly GRAY was afterwards married to John E. SPENCER. She is a daughter of Silas HOLT, who settled in the township of Bunker Hill in October, 1843, and is one of a family of nine children.Mr. HOLT was the first to enter land in that township, but did not settle until the time stated.
Henry A. HAWLEY is still residing in the township, and has been one of its most prominent citizens and successful farmers. His home was always open to all, and a generous welcome was accorded them. Mr. HAWLEY's land was entered July 23, 1836, on sections 14 and 23. The old homestead is now the property of his son, Adelbert A. HAWLEY.
(A link to a 3 1/2 page narrative by Henry A. Hawley
Enos NORTHRUP,
Mr. NORTHRUP's brother Thomas settled in the township about 1841, having lived about a year at Kalamazoo village, and also for a time at Middlebury, Ind. Upon settling in Vevay he located on the farm next to his brother. Both of these farms were in the woods when the NORTHRUP brothers arrived, and were covered principally with a heavy growth of oak.
In the summer of 1831, while living in Gull Prairie, Enos NORTHRUP loaded twenty-two bushels of wheat in his wagon, and started with that and an ox-team to mill, at Constantine, St. Joseph Co., about fifty miles away. There were no roads and no bridges, and it was necessary to ford all the streams. By the second night after leaving home he had arrived within two or three miles of his destination, and stopped at a shanty into which a family was just moving. He turned his oxen loose, - one wearing a bell - and slept on the ground.In the morning the oxen were missing. Two or three days were spent looking for them, an Indian aiding him part of the time. He went to Nottawa-sepee Prairie and then started back, inquiring everywhere for the lost oxen, and finally reached home, but found no cattle there, and could learn nothing about them. He had the same experience three times before finally finding them, spending nine days in the search and traveling 300 miles, besides spending five dollars in money, but at last discovered them within ten miles of his home, and in time reached home with his grist, the family having used flour in his absence which was made by grinding wheat in a coffee-mill.
The saw-mill mentioned by Mr. HAWLEY was operated by him about fourteen years. The dam was washed away several times. The frame of the old mill is yet standing, but has been several times repaired and added to. The mill had a capacity for cutting about 200,000 feet per annum, with its one saw. The lumber used in many of the barns of the neighborhood and on the road to Dexter was sawed at this mill. one of these barns is that on the farm of Enos NORTHRUP. On one occasion, having broken the saw in the mill, it was necessary to get a new one. Mr. HAWLEY did not happen to have sufficient money at the time, but procured the necessary amount of a man who owed him, walked to Jackson, purchased the saw and brought it home on his back, and the mill was running again within forty-eight hours after the old saw was broken.
Edwin HUBBARD,
Mrs. HUBBARD, whose maiden name was SARGENT, had come to the State in 1834 with her brother-in-law, Henry FIFIELD, from Essex Co., Mass., and located at Jackson. In October, 1836, Mr. FIFIELD and his family and Miss SARGENT came to Ingham County and settled in the township of Vevay, south of Mason. Mr. FIFIELD was therefore one of the first settlers in the township.Their goods had been ferried across Grand River in a small "dug-out," at Freeman's, in Jackson County, and they were two days making the journey to their location in Vevay. After building his house, Mr. FIFIELD had to wait until the river froze over until he dared to cross it and go back after lumber to finish with. From October to December, 1836, the family lived in the house without floor or chimney, having no opportunity sooner to procure lumber with which to build them.

By an act of the Legislature approved March 6, 1838, that portion of the county of Ingham designated on the United States survey as township No. 2 north, of range No. 1 west, formerly a part of Aurelius, was set off and organized into a separate township by the name of Vevay, and it was directed that the first township-meeting be held at the public-house in Mason. (This was probably the house of James BLAIN, as there was no regular "tavern" in the place until 1839, when George W. SHAFER completed and opened the "Mason Exchange." BLAIN's house was of necessity a "public-house," and he kept land-lookers and travelers because there was no one else to do so.) The township records contain the following account of the first township-meeting:
"At a meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Vevay, County of Ingham, State of Michigan, held on the 2d day of April, 1838, for the purpose of organizing the aforesaid township, and choosing township officers,
"Resolved, That Minos McROBERT be Moderator, Anson JACKSON, Clerk, Hiram CONVERSE, Hiram PARKER, B.F. SMITH, Inspectors of Election.
"Resolved, that there be two Constables, two Fence Viewers, two Pound Masters, and three Assessors.
"The following officers were elected by ballot:
"Peter LINDERMAN, Supervisor.
"Resolved, That swine shall not be free commoners."
It was also resolved to hold the next election at the school-house in the village of Mason. The following is a list of the principal officers of the township from 1839 to 1879, inclusive:

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.
Since the Wilderness Act was passed in 1964, public lands accorded the federal government's highest level of protection have ranged across 44 states (and Puerto Rico) and covered close to 110 million acres.
These are waterways where the river's free-flowing character has been protected by prohibiting dams and ensuring corridors are undeveloped.
From bouldering to sport climbing to traditional climbing to ice climbing, wild lands across the country are excellent places to climb.
There are over 450 animal species listed as endangered and over 170 listed as threatened, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
On a trail high above western North Carolina's spectacular Linville Gorge, I'm hacking at the base of a stubborn Carolina rhododendron with a pulaski ax. The trunk and roots of this "rhodo" seem to get broader and stronger the deeper I dig.
Befitting a pioneer nation, many of our most revered natural landscapes, from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite, are in the west. However, the roots of American conservation lie firmly in the eastern half of the country, as do many pieces of extraordinary designated wilderness.

#MixMonday: Sasha Live at DC10, Ibiza, Spain
In addition to his Sunday afternoon Never Say Never parties at Ushuaia Tower, Sasha made his way to a few other gigs this summer in Ibiza. These guest appearences included stops at Guy Gerber's Wisdom Of The Glove and Yousef's Circus party at Booom! Ibiza. None, perhaps, were more memorable than his first ever set at DC10 for the Circo Loco party on September 9th, 2013. On a bill that included Seth Troxler, Maceo Plex, Matthias Tanzmann, Damian Lazarus, DVS1, Subb-an, and more, Sasha's deep tech house journey is our setting for today's #MixMonday. Highlights include the cosmic, Pacha "One Kiss" (Father of Sound One Mix) starting just before the 18-minute mark, Piemont's "Okinawa" (Gabriel Ananda Remix) half hour in, and Audion & Tiga's "Let's Go Dancing" track at 56:25.

AbstractRetinal degenerative diseases constitute a major cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Stem cell-based therapies offer hope for these patients at risk of or suffering from blindness due to the deterioration of the neural retina. Various sources of stem cells are currently being investigated, ranging from human embryonic stem cells to adult-derived induced pluripotent stem cells as well as human Müller stem cells, with the first clinical trials to investigate the safety and tolerability of human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium cells having recently commenced. This review aims to summarize the latest advances in the development of stem cell strategies for the replacement of retinal neurons and their supportive cells, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) affected by retinal degenerative conditions. Particular emphasis will be given to the advances in stem cell transplantation and the challenges associated with their translation into clinical practice. View Full-Text

Our nation continues to spend way more than it takes in each and every year. With our national debt topping $15 trillion, Washington needs to show real leadership by passing a BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT to our Constitution. This is the only effective way to make politicians cut spending and rein in government waste.

Yale SOM students are a busy group. Classes alone are enough to keep them occupied full time. But for the average student, learning in the classroom is just one aspect of the SOM experience. The school offers more than 40 student-run clubs, which organize everything from speaker series to intensive interview prep to pro bono consulting opportunities. Add in planning industry-leading conferences and social events, and life at SOM becomes very full very quickly.
For Nikhil Bumb '14, the highlight of this frenzy of activity has been Global Social Enterprise, a student club that provides consulting services to organizations in developing nations. It's one of the things that attracted him to Yale SOM. Now he's one of the club leaders. "It's been one of my most fulfilling experiences here," he said. "I'm very excited I got the opportunity to lead it."

A Recap of the March 12-14,1993 SuperStorm
Summary of Event:
The March 12-14 1993 Superstorm affected north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee extensively by producing blizzard conditions across the area. The intense low pressure system formed in the Gulf of Mexico early on March 12 and pushed across southern Alabama and Georgia, before rapidly moving up the East Coast. At least 14 persons died in southern middle Tennessee and north Alabama, all due to exposure, and damage estimates in 1993 dollars exceeded $100 million. Of the 14 deaths, six people died after abandoning their vehicles, seven more died outside, and one person died at home. The weight of the snow combined with wind gusts in excess of 50 mph knocked out power, collapsed numerous roofs, and downed thousands of trees across the area.
At the height of the storm, over 400,000 residences were without electricity. In some locations, roads remained impassable for nearly a week, hampering emergency and relief efforts. Snow amounts ranged from greater than four inches in northwest Alabama to at or greater than a foot of snow in portions of the higher elevations of northeast Alabama and southern middle Tennessee. This powerful storm system would have been a category two on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane intensity scale due to the strength of the winds. Following the storm, record cold invaded the area. The deep snow cover, combined with clear skies and light winds, dropped temperatures to single digits to near zero on the morning of March 14 across much of north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee. These unusually cold temperatures were around 35 degrees below normal for mid March.
Above is an image of snowfall which was measured beginning on March 12th and ended on March 14, 1993.

Happy Birthday Chuck!
Happy Birthday Charles Schultz!
Although the great Mr. Schultz is no longer with us, I doubt anyone will forget him!
Kitsy: I have a small bit of history with Mr. Charles Schultz. I had been the recipient of the 1999 Charles M. Schultz Award for College Cartooning! I had the opportunity to go to Cincinnati, Ohio to attend the awards ceremony, courtesy of the Scripps-Howard Foundation. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to meet the man himself, but I'm always very touched that he had selected my comic out of many! He was and is an inspiration for many - creating the epitome of comics that were appropriate and accepted by all ages. KS and I can only hope to carry on that spirit with nemu*nemu!
KimonoStereo: I remember being really small and going through all of my grandmother's Peanuts paperbacks and reading them one by one - over and over again. If it wasn't for Sparky, I wouldn't be interested in cartooning today.
Thanks for all the memories Chuck!

FCW House Show Results – 5/27/2010
Match 1: Drake Brewer pinned Conrad Tanner
Leo Kruger cut a promo again talking about how he dominated Justin Gabriel in the many matches they've had in and around South Africa. He stated that he is the dominant South African and Gabriel is a fake.
Match 2: Leo Kruger pinned Johnny Prime
Match 3: "The Dudebusters" Trent Baretta & Caylen Croft defeated Titus O'Neill and Duke Rotundo when Croft pinned O'Neill
Match 4: Eli Cottonwood pinned Rudy Parker.
Following the match Shad Gaspard attacked Cottonwood relentlessly, screaming "That's how it's done! That's how it's done!" the whole time. He didn't let up until officials pulled him off the fallen Cottonwood.
Tamina, Brodus Clay, Donny Marlow, & The Uso Brothers came to the ring and they collectively cut a promo talking about how they are going to dominate the WWE just like they dominated FCW. Tamina said that what they did to the Hart Dynasty on Monday Night Raw just the beginning. She referred to the faction as the "Polynesian Power Package". Marlow said that He & Clay will "hold down the fort" in FCW while Tamina and The Usos take over the WWE.

It doesnot work very well on some clickpads, but this could arguably be fixedin userspace. There is a dkms package out there with similar code,which generally seems to work for people. The second patch fixes anodd behavior found on my test machine. Does it make a difference toanyone else? The third patch utilizes the new property interface toflag the clickpad property.

International Banquet
Last Friday I had the opportunity to participate in a Calvin activity that I had never before enjoyed. The International Student Activities Committee puts on a banquet once a semester, and last Friday was the "Winterlights" Fall 2007 banquet. Anyone can go, but mostly just international students do. They can bring dates though, and since I've become good friends with a number of the international students at Calvin, mostly males who have girlfriends back at home, I got to go as my friend Lee's "date."

More Half Nude Avril Lavigne Photosby Mischalova at . Comments
What do you do when your music career is faltering and people are comparing you to Elvira?
You go against your skater girl image and pose topless a couple times if you're Avril Lavigne.
After joining Keeley Hazell - someone we're shocked to ever NOT see nude - in the naked pages of a magazine a few months ago, the Canadian singer is now baring her boobs (almost) on the cover of Blender.
We wonder how new husband, Deryck Whibley feels about this development.Â
Let's just hope the next step in Lavigne's transformation into a nude model isn't the obligatory sex tape. Leave that to Jennifer Toof, Avril.

As anyone who has ever done even a little bit of planning for a Disney World vacation knows, there are myriad websites boasting all kinds of information to help vacationers make the most of their time visiting The Mouse. I obviously spend quite a bit of time reading many of these sites and I have come to know which ones are worth my time. Without question, one of the best Disney World planning sites on the internet is easyWDW.com. Created by a guy named Josh back in 2010, easyWDW is chock full of incredibly detailed posts covering touring strategies, resort and restaurant reviews, attraction information, park news and minutia, and a great deal more. Josh spends lots of time visiting the Disney theme parks and surrounding venues, taking and editing all the photos for the site, and writing frequent updates. He is remarkably thorough and his writing style is witty, sarcastic and quite entertaining. Josh recently created a series of "Cheat Sheets" that are sure to rival any of the existing Disney World touring plans that are out there. His site is free–he charges no membership fees & has no ads. His fans frequently offer to buy him scotch or beg him to put a 'donate' button on the site as a way to thank him for all of his hard work. So far, though, Josh maintains easyWDW for all of us out of the kindness of his heart.
A few weeks ago I got in touch with Josh and was very fortunate that he agreed to an interview. So without further ado, I give you the elusive Josh.
(Disclaimer: I absolutely love Josh and his site–so much so that I have had to confess my secret crush to my husband and admit to him that I'm angling to meet Josh for a beer on my next trip to Disney World).
What's your backstory? How did easyWDW come to exist?
I was trying to research a trip to Disney World for myself and my girlfriend at the time several years ago now. I was looking for detailed, honest information geared toward an intelligent, real life human being. Just about everything I read was either a rehash of a press release or a glossed over introduction using stock photos and the same information from Wikipedia. I realized that what I was searching for didn't exist. So I started trying to put together a sort of online guidebook with as much pertinent, detailed information as I could find. After about a year, I realized I wasn't going to be able to do what I wanted to do from Seattle, so I moved to Orlando.
Are you still selling women's clothing and electronics on ebay or has easyWDW become a profitable enterprise for you?
No and no. The website has made $71.19 from when I put up a few ads a couple years ago for a day or two.
EasyWDW is clearly a labor of love. How do you plan your upcoming posts and how do you manage to keep the site so incredibly up-to-date?
I usually find some excuse to visit the parks – whether it's the arrival of the Pork Glop Platter at Pecos Bill or a new wall outside Dawa Bar. The thing about Disney World is while the big picture stuff doesn't change that much, there are so many little details that do. While it might seem laughably inane to cover Rapunzel moving from Fairy Tale Gardens to Town Square Theater, it can have a pretty big impact on a family that wants to meet the character. So when something like that happens, I set out to find the best way possible to meet that character in the grand scope of a vacation with limited time and plenty of other priorities. So I usually go to the parks with one thing I know I want to cover and then whatever catches my eye from there goes into the post as fluff.
Regarding the great Touring Plans vs. easyWDW debate—why do you think your crowd calendars are the most reliable?
EasyWDW is the only website on the Internet that could tell you how many people Disney is expecting at a theme park each day and how many people actually set foot in that theme park. In that respect, it's rare that the recommendations are "wrong." Beyond that, I think people prefer the way I explain the recommendations, particularly why the parks may or may not be recommended and how to go about your day if you need to go a park that isn't explicitly recommended.
Which park is your favorite and why?
I have an unpopular opinion. Animal Kingdom is my favorite park to visit, particularly after the parade clears people out. I spend a lot of time in hot, crowded theme parks like Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. An evening at Animal Kingdom is an opportunity to walk on great rides, grab a snack and enjoy sitting on a bench overlooking the water, or just spend a few minutes watching the animals. On the other hand, if I was only visiting for one day after being away from the parks for months or years, I would go to Magic Kingdom because there's so much to do there.
When do you think is the best time of year to visit Disney World? Why?
The last week in January through the first week in February and the week after Thanksgiving through about the second week in December are my favorite. I'm always too hot and those are two examples of much cooler weather on top of lower crowds and inexpensive resort pricing. December is a special time with all the holiday decorations, shows, and parades. And late January is nice because, relatively speaking, there's nobody there.
What's the deal with these Magic Bands we're seeing all this news about?
That's a good question.
Tell me a little bit about how Fastpass+ works.
Details are not finalized. The general idea is that guests will be able to reserve certain attractions and experiences from the comfort of their computer or mobile device well in advance. So if your family wants to see Fantasmic and ride Toy Story Mania on October 7th 2014, you would be able to reserve spots before even setting foot inside Hollywood Studios. Of course, there are a limited number of spots for the most popular experiences. What it's going to come down to is when guests will be able to reserve experiences and how many they'll be able to reserve. And then from there, it's a question as to how egalitarian the system will end up being. Will a family of four spending ten days at Grand Floridian Villas have the same access as a couple staying at the Best Western and visiting one day? That's the sort of thing we don't know and an answer that will probably evolve over time. I'm expecting the system to seem "fair" at the start and slowly but surely begin favoring those staying on-site and paying top dollar.
How do you think Fastpass+ is going to change your strategies for touring the parks?
The current strategy is fairly simple – arrive about 30 minutes before the park opens and take care of the attractions that will have long afternoon waits first. I think FastPass+ will make it easier to return in the afternoon or park hop to another park. Arriving late at Hollywood Studios in the summer means the only way to experience Toy Story Mania is to wait in a 60 to 120 minute standby line because regular FastPasses are gone. It's a similar situation with Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, though single rider is an option there. FastPass+ may give people the opportunity to book those popular rides in the afternoon and evening. So you could schedule Toy Story at 3pm, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at 4pm, and Fantasmic at 8pm.
Where can we find your favorite beers in Disney World?
I like draft beer that's difficult to find in stores. I can pop open a bottle of Sam Adams seasonal at home, so paying $7.25 at a bar is not something I ordinarily do. Right now, my favorite spot for beer is Tutto Gusto at Epcot's Italy Pavilion, where they have several beers on draft that you won't find anywhere else in the United States.
If spotted by a fan, will you sign autographs and pose for pictures?
Yes, I'm actually really nice. But also awkward. There's a reason I'm on the Internet.
We all know Tom Bricker of Disney Tourist Blog fame is the TRUE Disney photography guru, but you obviously put a lot of care into the shots you post on the blog. Tell us about your photography style and philosophy.
First of all, that's debatable. I don't actually possess any sort of skill. I point and shoot just like everyone else. The trick to photography is really the post-processing, or what you do with the image after you take it. If you see a picture and think, "Wow, that's a great shot," chances are that the image has been manipulated heavily in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or with other software. It's amazing what you can do with an image in Lightroom.
What advice do you have for first time visitors to Disney World?
Focus on the four major theme parks and realize you can't do everything in one trip. The add-ons are probably not necessary either. You don't need park hoppers (and if you do, you can add them for the same price even after you start using your ticket), the Disney Dining Plan, etc. Try to ignore all the great reviews of restaurants at distant resorts. Vacation time is finite and a Disney vacation is expensive. Everything is farther away than you think it is and will take longer than you expect to do. Plan on one theme park per day, a meal inside the theme park or back at your resort, a break in the afternoon, and a return in the evening. That's the recipe for a vacation where you maximize theme park time and have an opportunity to relax by the pool.
I don't know how I will survive if easyWDW were ever to become defunct. What's in the future for easyWDW? Can you promise your fans that you'll always be here for us?
I will always be there for you.
Josh's fan base just keeps growing. Check him out at easywdw.com. You, too, will soon find yourself looking forward to his frequent doses of Disney magic and great snark! Thanks, Josh! You are a gem!

text: JOHN LENNON, Live in New York City (Capitol): Isn`t it refreshing to have something live up to pre-release hype? Way back on Aug. 30, 1972, John Lennon played his only scheduled post-Beatle concert. As you might expect, his performance is ragged but spirited. What`s best about ``Live in New York City,`` though, is its simplicity. There`s no maudlin eulogizing of our fallen hero, just great renditions of ``Come Together,`` ``Cold Turkey,`` ``It`s So Hard,`` ``Mother`` and even ``Hound Dog.`` The sound isn`t exactly stunning, but then again, how much can you expect from 13-year-old tapes recorded in Madison Square Cavern? All in all, ``Live in New York City`` is an impressive chronicle of the man and his times.

We showed you ours…Pumpkin Event!
What a great event at Mary Sherwood Lake Living! Here are some of the creative ideas we showed for pumpkin decorating. The ideas ranged in difficulty from Autumn's intricately carved spider web pumpkin to my very quick and easy wired pumpkin. Since time seems to be at a premium we tried to show several quick and easy ways to decorate a pumpkin without carving (consequently keeping it fresher longer).
So we showed you our stuff…pumpkin decorating ideas. Now you have a chance to show us your's! Enter our 1st Pumpkin Decorating Contest between now and October 23. Decorate your pumpkin, give it a funny name and bring it by the store to be photographed or submit a photo online. Online entries must include a small sign in the photo, "MSLL Pumpkin Decorating Contest 2010" to verify authenticity. NO, you can't just pull a picture from the internet and claim it as yours! Bring on the pictures! Our loyal MSLL fans will vote on their favorite pumpkin design.
At the end of the entry period, we will send out the voting information. Voting will be blind, so no names or personal information will be shared.
The ballot will contain pictures numbered in the order they were received.
The award categories are as follows:
1st Prize as voted by our customers
will win a $50 MSLL Gift Card
The winners of following categories
will each win a $20 MSLL Gift Card
*Most Creative Use of Materials*

Save Smarter Challenge Day 11: Rethink Gifts
Birthdays, holidays, teachers and coaches... buying gifts can add up quick! So stop buying them!
Get creative with homemade gifts like cookies, artwork, or crafts instead of spending a ton of money buying something fancy. Have the kids make their own greeting cards with construction paper and crayons. Reuse gift bags or wrap with comic strips, leftover fabric, or paper grocery bags.
Do you make your own gifts? Got any creative ideas to share?
If you missed yesterday's activity, you can find it here. To see all the activities from the Save Smarter Challenge, click here.
I love to bake, so sometimes that's my go to money saver gift.
I don't make my own gifts. I prefer to buy. However, I do reuse gift bags. :)
I'm thinking of making a customized poster board for my sister. She loves monkeys and I found this cool idea while googling crafts. I'm just glad my family understands I'm broke. :o(
I don't make my gifts but I do reuse gift bags.
We do make cards for some people but all gifts are bought.

You have every right to cringe at that headline. But that's the kind of cabin fever you get when you're snowed in after a week of "back to normalcy." Or maybe you don't get that bug and enjoy a day free of outside contact, content to binge on Netflix and all the bread and milk. Or maybe you endure the weather to craft a snow fort, like the Stevens Engineer you are. Or maybe you're like Andy and you make awful, chillingly bad puns to yourself to pass the time. However you spend your snow day, here are some tracks to bundle up with.
"Disintegration Anxiety" – Explosions in the Sky
Explosions In the Sky are an instrumental post-rock group that are well known for their (err) explosions in music form (just listen to "The Only Moment We Were Alone"). For their latest track, "Disintegration Anxiety," the band lightens the gun powder for a more secluded and anxious mood. The drums have sharp tones and reflect a lot of what anxiety feels like – hopelessness and fear – repeating the same motifs to symbolize the fact that the condition feels like it never ends. How does this have to do with winter? For me, the cold weather certainly makes me feel secluded and anxious. I don't know anything else better to listen to while walking in the tundra than a song that shows I'm not alone in the need for warmth. – Ryan Klem
"Winter Now" – Broadcast
One telling motif of an Under the Radar feature, written by Mark Redfern around the time of "Haha Sound," is living life inside your head; much like the introverted, bundled up nature of her band's music, lead singer/songwriter, Trish Keenan (R.I.P.) devolves several instances of this, picking apart bouts of astral projection and a nightmare of being shot. There's also talk of Joseph Byrd, leader of the experimental collective, United States of America, in a mental asylum – not to mention an anecdote about a chance sighting of Phil Spector, whose psychotic traversal ended up with abusive ends. There's reason to believe, then, that these heady subjects influenced the words of "Winter Now," with the subject keeping "sane when all is wrong" while the "deepest snow" lies all around. Though the heart "waits in winter," the brain reminds it that "it's just a dream." – Andy Waldron
"Pictures of You" – The Cure
The first snowfall of the year came when I was in the passenger seat of a deep impact blue muscle car. Playing the part of DJ, I chose "Pictures of You." When I first explored The Cure, I was in middle school and I never ventured outside of "4:13 Dream." But over the last couple years I've found a deeper appreciation—the band holds a nook in my head next to Tears For Fears and New Order. They all have this bare emotional feeling that seems to come off as really hot or, in the case of this night, very cold. Something about having all that warm weather in the middle of December suddenly breaking with this snow perfectly depicted the versatility of the emotions in their music. "Pictures of You" hones in on this feeling as a telling of a distant time: I see it as a winter recollection of summer's events, but not last summer's. It's a summer long ago that seems to clutch at December and all you have to really remember the best of it are the pictures. – Emma Murphy

We haven't seen headlines like this in a long time. SNEAK ATTACK ON HAWAII! NIXON RESIGNS! KIM K. TO MAKE SEX TAPE WITH KANYE! ROMNEY TO EXECUTE BIG BIRD ON NATIONAL TV!
Come on, Mitt just launched one of his famous "zingers". He even practiced them before the debate, although he probably cribbed this one from the snot jokes on his debate hanky. He didn't mean he'd strap Big Bird to an altar, cut open his chest, and hold his still-beating faux-avian heart up as a sacrifice to the Goddess Ayn Rand. (Alternatively, Mitt could probably pitch him into a volcano too. I strongly suspect the asexual avian is a virgin.)
No, he meant he'd strap PBS to an altar, cut open its chest, and hold its still-beating pledge-broken heart up as a sacrifice to the Goddess Ayn Rand. (PBS is certainly no virgin since Republicans think it is chock-a-block with filthy references to that homo-icon Liza Minnelli.)
That's not a new idea. Republicans hated PBS since the beginning. Why do you think their business model looks like reverse outsourcing? They couldn't brook the, "commie, homeless, cookie thief living in a garbage can" thing. It's programming for the eastern elites you understand.
Since the entire PBS budget is roughly equal to Bain's luncheon martini bill, the Republic will not collapse – even the toddlers PBS recruits for the homosexual lifestyle using the immoral, queer Teletubbies – if it goes.
But then, it will have zero effect on the budget. So, it's mostly a wash even though I'll toss a petition signature or two and some money in the collection plate next pledge drive. This isn't so much a War of Error, War on Christmas, or Class War; it's sending an Aviary Expeditionary Force into harm's way – without a Coalition of the Inept led by Mitch McConnell.
Don't get me wrong. I love PBS. I like the occasional Met concert or Nova, though in the interests of full disclosure I'm not much of a 50th rerun Dr. Who fan. It's not as if it's totally worthless. Big Yellow puppets that read and classroom educational shows for teachers to TIVO at 3 am are useful – even if they teach ideologically unedited history and that Noah didn't load a herd of Triceratops into the ark. Again, see the eastern elitist bias? Although, it's hard to miss when Mitt's humongous flag pin blocks your view.
I learned to read in a pre-Big Bird world – in fact, in a pre-PBS world. There were no cute yellow birds brought to you by the letter "C" to teach you, mainly because I could already read before TVs could show the Wonderful World of Disney, Bonanza, and Big Birds colorful plumage in "living color". Even then, it was slow to catch on. Color TVs were very expensive, possibly foreshadowing the poor state of the current Consumer Confidence Index.
Judging from the hubbub over the much vaunted free-range reading finch, it's unlikely Mitt will kill him. First, Congress will actually have to cut it and even Republicans are nervous birders when it comes to offing popular TV characters. Hell, 24 was on for years and they even water boarded. There would be yellow blood in the streets!
More likely, the Republicans will keep the eastern elitist programming, including that pinko yellow bird, because they need handy, safe punching bags to bully. Taking on subjects their own size is decidedly not a plank in the Republican platform. A bully could get hurt like that.
So let's all calm down and keep our eyes on the "real issues" ball. Obama is still pinko and I hear Michelle Bachman thinks the census takers are on the way to toss us into concentration camps and throw away the fluoride. To quote another source of "the programing you love":

Faster than the Tardis itself, this beauty rolled across my computer screen to answer my prayers. No more will I be using a boring conventional teapot. It also makes quite a fair amount of tea, maybe because it's bigger on the inside than on the outside.

Berlin General Information
Berlin is the capital city of the Federal Republic of Germany and one of the most beautiful, liberal and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
The modern history of the city goes back to the medieval times, and there are mentions of the city in 12th century literature.
There is consensus among historians that the city of Berlin was formed after the unification of a couple of older towns, namely Colln and Fishcherinsel, which were on the banks of River Havel.
Berlin's rich history is a history of war and conquest over the centuries –
the latest being the cold war – which, for Berlin, ended with the demolition of the Berlin wall. In fact, the demolition of Berlin wall was one of the clearest signals of the impending end of the cold war all over the world.
Before the demolition of the Berlin Wall, the city was divided into 2 separate and different entities, namely, the communist Eastern Berlin and the non-communist Western Berlin. Getting from one 'Berlin' to the other was a rather complicated affair, but all that came to an end with the demolition of the wall in 1989.
Berlin is home to over 3 million people, but that rises to more than 5 million when you take into consideration the wider Berlin metropolis. The city's population of 3 million – spread over an area of about 800 square kilometers – works out to about 4,000 residents per square kilometer, making Berlin quite a densely populated city. Of special note, though, is the diversity of Berlin's residents. Berlin has long been generally tolerant of immigrants, a trend that can be traced back in history to the reign of Frederick William in the 17th century. William encouraged immigration into Berlin as a measure to build up the city's population after a long, drawn-out war between early and mid 17th century, which cost the city more than half of its entire population.
In more recent times, the city has been host to many asylum seekers, who need refuge for a variety of reasons. The creation of the European Union led to even more immigration into Berlin. In fact, almost 15% of Berlin's residents are people holding foreign passports – a remarkable figure for any city. What's more, Berlin has residents from almost every country in the world – with more than 190 countries represented in the city's (registered) population.
Berlin is also one of the most socially liberal cities in the world – with more than 60% of the city's population being people without religious affiliation. However, this is not to say that religion is dead in Berlin – the city is home to over 100 big church congregations, almost 80 mosques and even a couple of Buddhist temples. But then again, Berlin is also one of the cities hosting the largest number of atheist groups in the world.
Originally founded as a commercial center at the junction of medieval trade routes, Berlin evolved into a major industrial center during the industrial revolution of the 18th century. During that industrial age, Berlin was not only home to many factories, but also exported machinery to factories all over the world. Like other cities that embraced communism during the cold war, Berlin suffered economically, but recovered remarkably quick compared to its Eastern European neighbors, who had fallen under the communist fist of the Soviet Union. Recently, Berlin has worked – with notable success – to evolve into a service economy (from a predominantly manufacturing economy), as the world has moved to favoring service and knowledge-based economies.
Berlin is also home to some of the world's best infrastructure – from transport to housing to recreation. Berlin is host to a road network of over 5,000 kilometers, out of which about 70 kilometers are motorways. Surprisingly for a city with such a good and extensive road network, Berlin's car ownership is at about 4 cars for every 10 people – making it a city with low car ownership rates compared to others in the developed world. Of note though is Berlin's riding (cycling) culture, as more than 10% of the city's traffic over the past decade has been cyclist traffic, thanks mostly to the city's remarkable bike lane system.
Berlin's liberal and idealist population has taken to heart calls to reduce carbon emissions, by opting for bicycles. Besides a well developed road transport network, Berlin is home to two major international airports, Schonefeld International Airport and Tegel International Airport, making this city accessible from over 150 airport destinations. Berlin is internally served by a well-run bus transport system and a rail system with over 170 stations spread throughout the city. Berlin is also home to the 'Berlin Strassenbahn,' one of the world's oldest tramways, which is now managed by the city's Berliner Verkerhrsbetriebe.
Berlin's largely liberal nature has continued to be a great attraction for all sorts of artists from all over Europe, who regard the more conservative auras of their cities as stifling and opt to settle in Berlin for good. Though the city's cultural aspect suffered from repression during the Cold War years (especially for the part of the city that was under communist control), it has largely healed from the scars of that era. Today, Berlin is home to over 400 art galleries and a number of remarkable music conservatories. As a matter of fact, the city's Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the world's most famous orchestras.
The city has over 150 different museums and over 50 performing theaters, which are remarkable numbers by any standards.

I have a solo show running this month (October 5 – October 31) at Curiosity House in Creemore. If you are in the area or looking for a reason for a scenic drive, drop in and take a look.
2013 Headwaters Arts Show and Sale
The nights are now getting cool enough that I see frost on the lawn occasionally in the mornings now. This means it is coming time for the annual Headwaters Arts Festival and their grand Show and Sale (Sept 20 -29) . The show Jurors selected some of my new work to be in this year's show. This new work is a mash-up of acrylic paint, photography and gel transfer on rough aluminum sheet. As always, most of the subject matter is about man-made objects in advanced stages of decay. All get a chance to tell their stories in my images.
Icy Blackness
New Nostalgia
I captured this scene just a couple of months ago, but it felt as though it should have been from the 50's. I made the image look a bit older, then produced it as a transfer to linen at 24″x36″ to give it a bit of a "fresco" feel. It will be in my new show at Crimson Feather Gallery opening next week.
Lean On Me
From a recent trip to upper Michigan… typical Craig photos… dramatic skies and mysterious shadows.
It was a dark and cloudy day in Alton
I just completed a series on the historic homes in Alton, done in my usual dark style and printed using the emulsion transfer process that I recently figured out. Looking over the completed prints, I noticed that the clouds were really the scene-stealers in these photos.
Something New
I have been experimenting with new ways to "print" my work for more than a year now. The learning curve was long and pretty steep (or I am a very slow learner), but I am finally producing work that I can show in public.
The process is a type of transfer – I print the image on a carrier sheet, wet it with alcohol gel, then apply the image to another surface. The resulting image is a very delicate layer that "floats" for a while on the gel, allowing me to move it and distort it before it dries. This is fun!
"What Makes A Good Photo?" by Huntington Witherill
John Paul Caponigro's blog posted an interview with photographer Huntington Witherill. I thought his answers to questions about what he thought made a good image were some of the best I have seen. If you don't want to follow the link to JPC's blog, here are the three questions and their answers:
How do you know when an image doesn't work?
It will fail to communicate anything beyond the fact that it is a photographic record.
How do you know when an image is good?
I know an image is good when it exhibits the following three (3) attributes:
#1- An interesting and effective use of light has been captured.
#2- A visually stimulating and well-balanced composition has been employed.
#3- The technique and craftsmanship used to render the photograph itself demonstrates sufficient proficiency so as not to disrupt or distract from either #1 or #2.
How do you know when an image is great?
I know an image is great if I am brought to tears.

Are they clearner than us ! (Part 3) HERE, you can see the ADVANCED model in cleaning. I managed to see this advanced kind in just two places in Istanbul, and one place in small rich town in Germany. In this new system, not only it has an ADJUSTABLE metal nozzle, but the plastic COVER SEAT it changes by pressing that red button on the side of toilet. So here not only you can use the water in the right area, but also it prevents you NOT to take any VDs from the surface of toilet seat. So here not only we could save loads of toilet paper rolls and trees over years , but also prevent you to take any harmful germs from the previous occupier. If you are interested in viewing the evolution of this kind of toilets, then you could check the following links: http://www.ephotozine.com/u30254/gallery/654950 www.ephotozine.com/u30254/gallery/655679
