While the number of foreclosures has gone down in the past few years, there are still great deals to be found! However not every foreclosed home is worth the money! Make sure you know what to look for so you can find a deal buying foreclosures in LA.
Pay Cash or Get Pre-Qualified Before Making An Offer
When buying a foreclosure, the process can be highly competitive, with many veteran investors paying in cash. You will want to be able to compete with these investors who have great knowledge of the market, who know when new properties become available and have the ability to make an immediate offer.
You need the freedom to be able to jump at a great deal before someone else gets ahold of it. As they say, the early bird gets the worm, and you don't want to be waiting on the bank's red tape while your dream home slips away.
Look For A Lender Who Will Provide Repair Assistance
Some lenders will consider a loan on a foreclosed property so long as you are able to show that the property will have a much higher value after some repairs. Some lenders will even offer repair assistance if they feel there is potential for a high return on the home.
Do ALL Your Homework
Some investors will bid on a foreclosure without ever seeing it. They plan on gutting the house and redoing it for a quick flip, so they don't take the time to see the house for themselves. By going to see the home yourself, you will be able to see a lot more than what the pictures tell you.
- What are the other houses in the neighborhood like? Are the other houses owner occupied? Are the homes well maintained?
- Maybe the listing agent took pictures hastily and forgot to mention the 2 car garage or the new covered patio in the backyard.
- Know what other homes are going for, as well as the history and demographics of the area.
- You should always have an inspection done, so you don't end up buying a "Money Pit" house!
Work Directly With The Listing Agent
The agent listing the home is likely to have a familiarity with the bank and understand exactly how they work. Go directly to them and find out what the bank is looking for and the best way to get your offer to them.
The agent will have a relationship with the asset manager at the bank who can approve or deny the sale. Form a relationship with a listing agent who specializes in foreclosures.
Often times they can add you to a list, letting you know when new properties are available. Working directly with the source will save you a lot of time and money.
Look On Government & Bank Websites
Foreclosures owned by both the Department of Housing and Urban Development and all the major banks are available on-line. These properties are often also advertised through a listing agent, who you can contact directly with your offer.
These lists are updated daily and many offer email notifications if something matching your criteria becomes available.
The bottom line is you need to prepare for an impersonal, and competitive process. Think like an investor, and do not get so caught up in "getting a deal" that you pay more than you should!

Why You Should Use a Post Cap
Why You Should Use a Post Cap
Post caps add a much-needed cover for the most vulnerable spot on your wood posts. Without a cap, your wood posts are exposed to water, bugs, ice... which can destroy your post from the top, down. As a result of using a post topper, your post will stay looking better for longer. Not to mention, fences are EXPENSIVE. Using a post cap will prolong the life of your fence which will save you a lot of money in the future!

4x4 Post Caps
Our 4x4 fence post cap is made to fit nominal sized posts (3.5" x 3.5"). Common fence posts are nominal sized but we always recommend double checking before ordering. If your post is a true 4x4, please view our True 4x4 Post Cap collection.

Just like our 4x4 cap, our 6x6 fence post cap is made to fit a nominal sized post (5.5" x 5.5"). We also have a True 6x6 Post Cap collection. Decorative 6x6 post toppers
4x6 Post Caps
Our 4x6 post cap is made to fit a nominal 4"x6" post (3.5"x5.5"). Unfortunately, we do not offer a true 4x6 post cap due to its odd size.
Post Toppers
Our fence post toppers are made to bolt onto the top of any type of wood post. Although they don't add as much protection as our fence post caps, they still keep some water and bugs out while adding a very decorative metal touch to your posts! Instillation is easy for these. All you need to do is place them on your post and secure them with our color matching screws.
Our metal post caps are made to fit tight so your fence post, mailbox post... will stay looking new for longer. As a result of this, some trimming of the post may be necessary. Installation Instructions are included in each package and is also on our website.
Post Cap Materials
Post Cap Materials
Our post caps are made of solid, pressed steal. The decorative finial is made of either steel or wrought iron (depending on the style of the post topper).
Each post cap includes color matching, stainless steel hardware to securely mount your cap to your fence post.

Post Cap Care Guide
Post Cap Care Guide
Want to keep your post caps looking fresh? Follow this care guide to keep your post caps looking like new!
Cleaning: Although our caps are made with slick, water repelling paint, they still get dust and dirt on them over time. The best way to clean all the dust and dirt off your caps is with a water hose or a wet rag.
**It is very important that you avoid chipping the paint and exposing the metal underneath the paint. This will cause rusting on your post cap.
General Care/Maintenance: If you find any large scratched or chips that expose metal, you need to seal/paint that area asap. You can get your post cap paint matched at most paint stores. We recommend using an Exterior Oil-based paint.

Race it hard or just head off the beaten path. The Strada Bianca wraps Challenge's proven herringbone tread pattern further around a large volume casing and adds a gravel specific construction to take you comfortably over less-than-perfect surfaces. This is your tire for rough roads, packed dirt, and most gravel surfaces. This TLR clincher with 120TPI nylon casing provides both performance, durability, and puncture protection when combined with the appropriate tubeless sealant.
Going tubeless allows you to run lower tire pressures without the added weight of a tube. Lower tire pressure has many benefits, including greater traction, lower rolling resistance over rough surfaces, and decreased risk of a puncture-related flat.
Tubeless-ready rims and tires are parts of a complete system that eliminate the need for tubes by creating an airtight chamber between the rim and tire. Liquid sealant is added to the chamber to fill small punctures and maintain air pressure while you ride.
UST (Universal Standard for Tubeless) is a specific type of tubeless system that dictates the shape of the rim and tire beads. UST rims should be paired with UST-specific tires for best results.

There's a quote in the introduction that has provided me with food for thought for days. While discussing the way the ideal body shape has changed at whim throughout fashion history, author Eleri Lynn writes:
"It is only since the 1960s that women have been expected to embody the fashionable ideal by way of diet and exercise and without the aid of foundation garments."The reason this idea struck me so much is that as feminists, it's very easy to equate restrictive foundation garments with gender oppression—to the point that many now think of girdles as anti-feminist. In fact, every time I've written about my fascination with retro lingerie—particularly of the New Look variety—at least one commenter has asked me how I reconcile this enthusiasm with my feminist ideals. So the quote above is rather compelling in that it's probably the first time I've seen the decline of foundation garments interpreted as having an adverse effect on women.
Historically, it's easy to see how there's some sense in this. We currently worship the ideal of the perfect body obtained through diet and exercise, yet we still seem to be coming up short. Indeed, the decades since the 1960s (when traditional foundation garments fell out of favor) have been particularly bleak in terms of our relationship with food and exercise, seeing a massive rise in cases of eating disorders and poor body image in general. Is it possible that there's a direct connection between this crisis and the fact that women have traded their girdles for the gym?
I'm sure it's not quite that simple. But I do think there's something to be said for the idea that fashion is really about a quickly-changing silhouette; it seems we swing back and forth between ideals like Kate Moss or Christina Hendricks fast enough to give one whiplash. If you rely on an article of clothing to help you achieve this silhouette, you're probably bound to be happier than if you're futilely trying to change your very body shape through punishing crash diets and exercise routines (not to mention plastic surgery), right? Plus there seems to be a moral judgment on the use of body shapers now; there's a somewhat commonly held belief that Spanx are for people who haven't been hitting the gym hard enough.
But on the downside, any restrictive garment is just that: restrictive. And not being required to wear these garments on a daily basis has, arguably, improved our the quality of our lives in many other ways.
What do you think? We've certainly gone 'round and 'round on this topic before, but I so love the way the quote above frames the issue that I just had to write about it again. Whatever your opinion, it's certainly an interesting discussion for this time of year, with the deluge of "New Year, New You" get-thin-quick offers! (I'm so sick of those already, aren't you?)

Good news for PHP 5.3 users with namespaced classes:
When you create a subfolder structure matching the namespaces of the containing classes, you will never even have to define an autoloader.
spl_autoload_extensions(".php"); // comma-separated list
It is recommended to use only one extension for all classes. PHP (more exactly spl_autoload) does the rest for you and is even quicker than a semantically equal self-defined autoload function like this one:
function my_autoload ($pClassName) {
include(__DIR__ . "/" . $pClassName . ".php");
I compared them with the following setting: There are 10 folders, each having 10 subfolders, each having 10 subfolders, each containing 10 classes.
To load and instantiate these 1000 classes (parameterless no-action constructor), the user-definded autoload function approach took 50ms longer in average than the spl_autoload function in a series of 10 command-line calls for each approach.
I made this benchmark to ensure that I don't recommend something that could be called "nice, but slow" later.
Best regards,

The supply chain flowing throughout the Ohio shale gas play poses a tremendous opportunity for our region. The overall opportunity for suppliers in our state approaches $9 billion, according to the Ohio Shale Coalition . This includes the vigorous involvement from many types of industries. There are a few ways to segment the supply chain in order to get a better idea of the players involved. One way is to look at it from the traditional upstream, midstream and downstream view: • Upstream: Exploration and production tasks involved in extracting the oil and gas • Midstream: Includes the infrastructure, such as pipeline construction, processing and transportation • Downstream: The polymers and chemicals industry, as well as transportation, power generation and other end uses - I wrote specifically about the polymer and chemicals facet of this back in October: "Look downstream: Ohio's chemical companies to benefit from liquids-rich natural gas." Another aspect of the supply chain involves those supplies and services where the logistics dictate that they are obtained locally, such as gravel, landscaping, road construction, etc., as opposed to those components, supplies and services that could be obtained from suppliers anywhere in the world. The latter scenario, which is a bit more subtle and complex, is a huge opportunity for our area and could potentially employ many people. I'll take a look at that side of the supply chain in Part 2 of this topic, to be published in a couple of weeks. The opportunity for Northeast Ohio to leverage its logistical advantages becomes apparent in the requirement for local industries and services, especially in the upstream and midstream of the supply chain. These needs include: • Infrastructure: Dikes, roads and bridges, transportation, fencing • Construction and Site Prep: Location liners, pads, limestone, gravel pits, sand, cement • Water and water transportation services for drilling and fracturing • Site security services • Fuel and fuel supply services • Maintenance services and repair parts • Equipment rental Ancillary services create another large local impact that will generate jobs and revenue. These services provide support to the supply chain. Examples include professional services, such as insurance, engineering and legal. Real estate and employment services need to be met. Personal services will also flourish. These include retail, healthcare and food. But whether a supplier's competition is local, or further away, the establishment of relationships with buyers, such as the large Oil and Gas (O&G) companies, becomes especially crucial. Economic development organizations have a large role in helping to make relationship connections. Suppliers will need to compete in a new way within the shale industry, even if it's in their own backyard. The strategy for economic development to help create an impact in supply chain development within the region has four prongs: 1) inform interested local suppliers by providing data and information to support decisions, 2) educate suppliers on new requirements, such as Master Service Agreements and safety regulations, 3) connect suppliers and buyers through facilitation of networking, and 4) advocate for policies that set the platform for a growth environment. There are several other resources that provide our region with information on the shale supply chain opportunity. The Ohio University Voinovich School's Consortium for Energy, Economics & the Environment (CE3) is currently developing the Shale Energy Supply Chain Database. Their supply chain map can help local companies determine markets and service gaps. Organizations such as the Ohio Oil and Gas Association (OOGA) conduct business development seminars. Existing local industries and the smart entrepreneur that can understand the needs of the shale gas industry, and envision a way to fill those needs, can create a bevy of revenue generating opportunities.

To me, plums signalize that Fall is just around the corner. In Germany, plums start appearing in the stores around August and last till October. So when I see the delicious, purple colored fruit in the stores I know we are on the cusp of the seasons.
So, I welcome Fall, with a new banner to create the right atmosphere for my readers and look forward to celebrate the rich and colorful produce it offers.
Going to the Farmer's Market or to my local organic store is always a great pleasure, but right now just as summer dwindles and fall takes control, it's pure bliss. How wonderful is the variety of fresh produce right now? I still see raspberries and peaches, stacked next to apples, pears and figs. There are those wonderful red tomatoes and green zucchini lined up next to the rainbow chard and pumpkins.
Plums are however, my current favorite. I recently bought a 2 kilo basket from my organic store and was in sweet heaven with each luscious bite I took. Two kilos of pure juicy fruit!
While we enjoyed most of them pure I did make several interesting creations with the plums. There are not many types of fruit that come in such a huge variety and colorful panorama as plums. Each variety tastes different, highlighting a wonderful array of flavors and versatility these fruit offer.
You will find that plum season extends from May through October depending where you are in the world. The Japanese varieties are the first in the markets, arriving in May and peaking in August. The European plums follow closely, from August and extend throughout Fall till October.
Plums are related to cherries, peaches and almonds and belong to the extensive Prunus family They are classified as stone fruits and believed to have originated in Asia. Plum trees have been cultivated all over the world since ancient times. It is reported that Native Americans consumed wild plums prior to the arrival of the Europeans and till today the wild variety is still consumed.
Temperate regions are where the plum trees grow best, producing purple, red, orange, yellow, or light green fruit. Colder temperatures may brown the color of the fruit , giving it an unappealing appearance.
Health Benefits
Plums and Prunes (dried form of plums) are high in unique phytonutrients called neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acid. These substances are classified as phenols, and their function as antioxidants has been well-documented.
Plums help to produce and absorb iron in the body, which leads to a better blood circulation, helping the growth of healthy tissues. This ability of plums and prune to make iron more available might be related to the high vitamin C content of this fruit. It's always a good idea to get an additional dose of vitamin C during the colder "flu" season and plums offer a great source of vitamin C.
Studies have also shown that regular consumption of plums will prevent macular degeneration and any other infection of the eye in the long run. Although I was often told by my mum that carrots will keep my eyes bright, these studies prove that plums are the best way to keep my sight.
Researchers have also found that plums have anti-cancer agents that may help prevent the growth of cancerous cells and tumors in the body. Furthermore, eating plums also reduces chances of contracting a heart disease. Plums contain certain cleansing agents, which purifies the blood and also prevents complications of the heart.
We all know that plums and prunes are both effective laxatives, with prunes being the more effective of the two. The laxative action of both prune and prune juice could be explained by their high sorbitol content.
Selecting & Storing
Look for unwrinkled plums. Their skins should be smooth with no blemishes, soft spots or discolorations. The gray-white sheen on plums is perfectly normal, as a matter of fact it is an indication that the plums have not been excessively handled. Good quality plums will display a rich color and will yield to gently pressure. If you choose slightly firmer fruit to ripen at home, do not go for extremely hard plums. These are still immature and the full flavor of the fruit will probably not develop as desired.
You can easily ripen plums at room temperature, but as they mature quickly, make sure you check them daily to ensure they do not become overripe. Once they are ripe you can store plums in a plastic bag and place in your refrigerator. There they should last for 4-5 days.
Plums can also be frozen. Although I have not done this myself, I have read that it is advisable to remove their pits before freezing them.
Plums can be easily preserved as jams or jellies for use later. A great recipe idea you might enjoy is this plum cinnamon preserve.
If the plums have been in the refrigerator allow them to reach room temperature before eating them. This allows them to attain their full sweet juicy flavor.
To remove the pit all you need to do is cut the plum lengthwise, along the pit, gently twist off the sides in opposite directions. Finally, take he pit out. If the fruit is still a little hard and the pit does not come off easily, place the tip of a sharp knife under the pit and gently release it from the flesh.
To remove the skins for baking or poaching, the easiest method is to place them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Remove the fruit and run them under cold water to stop them from cooking further, then remove the skin with your fingers.
Enjoy these fruits to the fullest now. Although there are so many great recipes using plums, the best way however is to enjoy them pure.
Here is a sneak peak at a few scrumptious plum creations coming your way right here on WFLH. Stay tuned!

Houseplants offer a quick, easy way to add a splash of color to your home decor. And they've been proven to help purify the air inside your house, too. But have you ever bought a beautiful plant from a local greenhouse only to watch it shrivel up a few weeks later?
If so, you know there's a lot more to consider than how a flower, cactus, or palm might look in your house. For a plant to grow and thrive in your home, it needs to be a good match for your space.
Here are some things to consider when shopping for your next houseplant:
- Space: If you live in a small apartment or have low ceilings, a large plant like a palm might not be your best option. Experts recommend you allow at least 6 inches of breathing room around your houseplants. So think twice before squeezing a plant between two pieces of furniture.
- Size: Before choosing a plant, consider where it's going to live in your home. Plants less than 2 feet tall are ideal for spaces like a windowsill or table, while taller plants work best on your floor.
- Lighting: Most houseplants need natural light to grow. But the type of light (direct, indirect, or low) will vary by species. For best results, match your plant's lighting needs with a room in your home that supplies the correct amount of light. And consider placing plants in rooms facing south, east, or west in your home.
- Temperature: Some plants are more sensitive to temperature changes than others. Consistent temperatures during spring and summer months make it an ideal time for plants to be nurtured. But fall and winter can bring cold snaps that will damage plants – especially in areas that are not always heated, like porches and sunrooms.
- Style: Allow the plants you buy to reflect your decorating taste. There are plenty of options available, from plants producing lush greenery to bright flowers. And you can add more of your own personal style with a ceramic or copper pot.
- Pets and children: Be aware that some plants, like lilies and ivy, can be toxic if touched or eaten. Exposure could cause your pets to become seriously ill or irritate your child's skin.
Find the Perfect Fit
Now that you know the basics of choosing the perfect houseplant, here are some you may want to consider for your space:
- Plants that don't need much light: Looking for a houseplant to grow in a basement or windowless room? Consider plants like the pothos, heart-leaf philodendrons, arrowhead vines, cast iron plants, and dieffenbachia – all of which can grow in low light conditions.
- Plants that don't need much water: Need a hearty plant that can withstand a little neglect? No judgement. Good choices include succulents, ZZ plants, snake plants, or Chinese evergreens.
- Plants that can help with dry skin: Tired of dry skin in the winter months? Consider a natural alternative to expensive creams and lotions. Spider plants, rubber plants, peace lilies, and English ivy can all help balance moisture in the air.
- Plants that add a splash of color: Mosaic plants, dragon trees, and polka dot plants can help you break away from plain-old green.
If you're looking for expert advice on protecting your plants, talk to a florist or a professional at your local garden center.

PBr7-Raw Sienna
PBr7-Raw Sienna
hydrated iron oxide
α-FeO3+(OH) or Fe2O3
Raw Sienna is a moderately dull deep earth yellow with medium tinting strength and excellent transparency. It is one of the basic permanent artists' pigments and is made from a form of limonite clay whose yellow-brown color results from ferric oxides. Raw Sienna is preferable to Yellow Ochre for creating flesh tones, due to its higher subtlety of color when mixed with white. It creates a bright Ochre when mixed with Cadmium Yellow and creates greens and grays when mixed with Ultramarine. Raw Sienna dries quickly.
Raw Sienna has good permanence.
Raw Sienna has no significant hazards.
Raw Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, although its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.

Higher Loan Amounts
Many payday lenders often limit first-time borrowers. However, once the lenders have repaid the loan, they begin to enjoy higher loan amounts.
A no-credit-check payday loan is a cash advance that lenders give without conducting a complete credit history review. In truth, no regulated lender in the state can grant you a payday loan without checking your creditworthiness. We use the phrase "payday loans Columbus no credit check" to refer to a soft credit search.
Lenders conduct a soft credit check to find out some vital information on your credit report. This process intends to determine the potential level of the success of the loan application.

Some of the common reasons you may be denied loans when you think you have met all the qualifications are:
Whenever you request online payday loans Columbus in Montana, the information is stored in a common database. Lenders can access this information. When they notice this practice, you are likely to be denied loans. The reason for this is that lenders want to avoid the possibility of one individual getting more than a single payday loan concurrently. Besides, asking too much might show a lack of financial discipline.
If you have a new bank account, the lender may want to know what has happened to your old accounts.
If you have closed one recently, the company might relate it with some risk factors. At the same time, if you have never opened a bank account before and you are a mature adult, it may indicate general instability. Remember, lenders may also want to see your bank statement to determine your saving habits and many other factors.
One of the qualifications for getting payday loans is having a permanent residential address within the state. But if you have not lived long enough in the location, they might consider that as a risk. You need to have lived in the address for not less than six months. However, if you were at your previous location for a few years, they can give you a more favorable verdict. Generally, how you have moved around in the last few years can influence your success.
A bad credit score may make it difficult for you to get the best payday loans. Payday loans Columbus no credit check are often a little costly. Some lenders can deny your loans based on your credit rating. If you are wondering if you should know how to calculate your score, consider that you have a responsibility to ensure that your score is accurate and reflects your ability.

When did you last review your credit report? If you did it not long ago, you could appreciate that you have several credit scores. A mathematical algorithm is always applied to the details of one of the three credit reports. Moreover, lenders and other financial institutions do not use a uniform algorithm to compute your scores. In many cases, however, you are likely to find that most of them use FICO-Score. This algorithm provides rates between 300 and 850.
But you should not be scared that many stores use different mathematical algorithms. The multiple scores make no much difference. The factors that determine your scores are usually the same. It is important to note that most scoring models put a lot of premium on the following:
All these elements and the factors that influence your credit have an impact on your score.
Now that you know that you have the power to improve your credit score, we can consider practical steps that you can take to restore your rating. Check your credit scores online. From the reports, you can determine the factors that are having a positive or negative impact on your score. Even though there are several things that you can do to restore your score, you should start by checking the score to avoid wasting a lot of time using trial and error methods. Remember, once you make the required changes, you will have to allow time for your creditors to report them to the right agency.
Some credit score factors are more important than others. Once you discover the factors that you need to work on, you should prioritize accordingly. Credit utilization ratios and payment history are some of the essential ones.
They can make up to 70% of the credit score.
Also, note that your credit reflects your credit payment patterns over time. However, it puts greater emphasis on the most recent activities. Here are the actions that you might need to take to improve your credit scores:
Remember to repay your Columbus payday loans online in time to avoid having to spend your energy and resources on rebuilding your credit history.

Ben Bauer
(Born 1980)
Harvest Time - Dry Fall
Oil on canvas on board

BIOGRAPHY - Ben Bauer (Born 1980)
Ben Bauer's deep roots in the landscape of forests and high plains in the upper midwest are the source of his commitment to "recording a natural history" in his paintings. Like many people who have witnessed the continuing depletion of open land in once-pristine regions, Bauer is acutely aware of how quickly ecosystems can be damaged or destroyed; and how easily that loss can be justified under the auspices of economic development.
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1980, Bauer grew up in a family that introduced him to the pleasures of outdoor living, whether enjoying a summer weekend in the countryside or participating in annual duck-hunting expeditions. The sense of camaraderie among the men in his family as they tramped through river valleys and wetlands provided the younger boys, including Bauer, with both an education in the natural world and a personal awareness of the cycles of each season. Seen from this intimate perspective, the shift from spring to summer reveals a gradual unfolding, just as the tonal shifts from white to grey and brown in a winter landscape can only be understood when studied over time.
This sincere connection to the natural world ultimately led the young Bauer to turn his fondness for cartooning on his school notebooks to focus on drawing wildlife scenes instead. As he noted in a recent interview, "I've always had a pencil in my hand since fourth grade." By eighth grade, he discovered wildlife painters and printmakers, such as David Maass, who specialized in waterfowl imagery; and soon thereafter, Bauer created his first entry for the Minnesota Junior Duck Stamp competition. The federally sponsored Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Contest (the "Duck Stamp") was initiated by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1934 as a source of funding for the conservation of wetlands and upland habitats throughout the US. Since that time, the US Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wildlife Refuge System has been able to conserve over five million acres of land. In Minnesota, this program is complemented by the Department of Natural Resources which sponsors the Junior Duck Stamp competition as well. Although Bauer did not win the competition, he did place first among his age group--no small accomplishment in a field of 1100 student entries.
This early predilection for drawing provided the impetus for Bauer to take "every art course that was offered" in his North St. Paul high school, and ultimately led him to an art major at the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie, where he majored in painting. Although he was not overly impressed by what was then considered fashionable painting at the University, Bauer was introduced to a variety of technical and intellectual fields that would benefit him as an artist in the future. In addition, two of his professors, Tamara Brantmeier and Charles Lume, were especially instrumental in guiding Bauer to develop his own style.
Not surprisingly, Bauer has continued his art education on the internet. Like many artists, he has discovered art history online and has absorbed the work of artists as divergent as George Inness (1825-94) and the California landscapist, Edgar Payne (1882-1947). Bauer also notes that online sites for connecting with other contemporary artists have been an important source for sharing information and establishing a network of like-minded professionals.
Bauer's work continues to evolve as he explores the imagery of the landscapes around him. A primary objective remains the preservation of these landscapes, whether it is a prairie restoration or the creation of land stewardship trusts to protect existing farmland from development. Because of this profound awareness of the land, Bauer's paintings capture a strong sense of place, whether it is early spring along Elmo Creek or the vast horizon of a winter wheat field. Most recently, his oil paintings have also become studies in what he describes as "ever-changing and temperamental oil paint." These works are further explorations in the nature of his medium, as well as reflections of the transitory qualities of seasonal cycles.

1 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler,
Consider diligently what is before thee:
2 And put a knife to thy throat,
If thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties:
For they are deceitful meat.
4 Labour not to be rich:
Cease from thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
Neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
But his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
And lose thy sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool:
For he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10 Remove not the old landmark;
And enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their redeemer is mighty;
He shall plead their cause with thee.
12 Apply thine heart unto instruction,
And thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Withhold not correction from the child:
For if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod,
And shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15 My son, if thine heart be wise,
My heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice,
When thy lips speak right things.
17 Let not thine heart envy sinners:
But be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18 For surely there is an end;
And thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise,
And guide thine heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers;
Among riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty:
And drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee,
And despise not thy mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not;
Also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice:
And he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad,
And she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me thine heart,
And let thine eyes observe my ways.
27 For a whore is a deep ditch;
And a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey,
And increaseth the transgressors among men.
29 Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow?
Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling?
Who hath wounds without cause?
Who hath redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine;
They that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red,
When it giveth his colour in the cup,
When it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent,
And stingeth like an adder.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women,
And thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea,
Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick;
They have beaten me, and I felt it not:
When shall I awake?
I will seek it yet again.

This drug is used to treat mild to moderate pain (from headaches, menstrual periods, toothaches, backaches, osteoarthritis, or cold/flu aches and pains) and to reduce fever.
How to use Non-Aspirin oral
Take this product by mouth as directed. Follow all directions on the product package. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
There are many brands and forms of acetaminophen available. Read the dosing instructions carefully for each product because the amount of acetaminophen may be different between products. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended. (See also Warning section.)
If you are giving acetaminophen to a child, be sure you use a product that is meant for children. Use your child's weight to find the right dose on the product package. If you don't know your child's weight, you can use their age.
For suspensions, shake the medication well before each dose. Some liquids do not need to be shaken before use. Follow all directions on the product package. Measure the liquid medication with the provided dose-measuring spoon/dropper/syringe to make sure you have the correct dose. Do not use a household spoon.
For rapidly-dissolving tablets, chew or allow to dissolve on the tongue, then swallow with or without water. For chewable tablets, chew thoroughly before swallowing.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Swallow the tablets whole.
For effervescent tablets, dissolve the dose in the recommended amount of water, then drink.
Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the symptoms have worsened, the medication may not work as well.
Do not take this medication for fever for more than 3 days unless directed by your doctor. For adults, do not take this product for pain for more than 10 days (5 days in children) unless directed by your doctor. If the child has a sore throat (especially with high fever, headache, or nausea/vomiting), consult the doctor promptly.
Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse or if you develop new symptoms. If you think you may have a serious medical problem, get medical help right away.
Side Effects
See also Warning section.
This drug usually has no side effects. If you have any unusual effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Taking too much acetaminophen may cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Adults should not take more than 4000 milligrams (4 grams) of acetaminophen a day. People with liver problems and children should take less acetaminophen. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how much acetaminophen is safe to take.
Do not use with any other drug containing acetaminophen without asking your doctor or pharmacist first. Acetaminophen is in many nonprescription and prescription medications (such as pain/fever drugs or cough-and-cold products). Check the labels on all your medicines to see if they contain acetaminophen, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.
Get medical help right away if you take too much acetaminophen (overdose), even if you feel well. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sweating, stomach/abdominal pain, extreme tiredness, yellowing eyes/skin, and dark urine.
Daily alcohol use, especially when combined with acetaminophen, may damage your liver. Avoid alcohol.
See also Warning section.
Before taking acetaminophen, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, regular use/abuse of alcohol.

Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug are: ketoconazole, levoketoconazole.
This medication may interfere with certain lab tests, possibly causing false test results. Make sure lab personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.

Canada residents can call 1-844-764-7669. Symptoms of overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sweating, stomach/abdominal pain, extreme tiredness, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine.
Acetaminophen does not cause the stomach and intestinal ulcers that NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen may cause. However, acetaminophen does not reduce swelling (inflammation) like the NSAIDs do. Consult your doctor for more details and to see which medication might be right for you.
If you are taking this medication on a regular schedule and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Picturing Identity: The Allure of Portraiture
Historically, portraiture's authority has rested on its ability to offer an enduring and tangible impression of a human subject. Indeed, both classical and Christian mythologies stress the powerful presence of portraits: the beautiful youth Narcissus met his demise after being mesmerized by his own reflection in a pool of water while the veil that St. Veronica used to wipe Christ's face on Mount Cavalry became a venerated relic said to bear the true likeness of Christ.
Much of the power ascribed to portraiture has depended on the artist's ability to vividly capture the nuances and peculiarities of a person's physical appearance and character. Portraits were deemed successful when the image resembled the original to such a degree that the person represented appeared to be momentarily present before the viewer's eyes.
Towards the end of the 19thcentury, portraiture underwent a change as photography assumed the painted portrait's imitative function and modernist aesthetics challenged traditional emphasis on naturalistic representation. Turning away from the pursuit of life-like depictions, artists relied on abstraction, repetition and other techniques to engage with the idea of personal identity—how it is constructed and event whether it possible to represent it.
Critical approaches to portraiture observe that portraits are by definition always of and about someone but who this person is and how he/she is perceived depends on number of factors. In addition to being a product of a sitter's sense of how they would like to be represented, the artist's perception of the sitter, and the viewer's interpretation of the finished product, portraits are informed by the social and historical values and beliefs that frame these very perceptions.
The exhibition Picturing Identity: The Allure of Portraiture will feature 20th century examples of portraits that address these changes in the perceived nature of personal identity and its representation. Portraits feature celebrities and historical figures whose public roles question the traditional function of portraiture. Andy Warhol's Liz Taylor for example appears to be more about how a person becomes an image than an accurate representation of the person "behind" the portrait. Caricatures similarly dismantle the notion that portraits reveal some hidden essence of an individual by fixing features in a mask and reducing an individual to a type. The various portraits of America's former presidents remind us that we often remember people not as they were but as they appeared to be through images.
Culled from the Figge's collection as well as significant loans from private collections and the University of Iowa Museum of Art, the portraits in this exhibition serve as a reminder of portraiture's continuing importance as an artistic genre.

Our size guide will be able to give you the best advice in getting the right size tube for your bike
There are three main valve tyres, Presta, Schrader and Woods. To make sure you have the correct type for your requirements please see our valve type guide and also double check the product listing to confirm your selection
Yes. Don't worry, we're here to help, simply see our Returns page for full details. Regardless if you have made a mistake, we're here to help get you sorted!
We wouldn't get very far over the years if we sent damaged items, lord knows where we'd even source pre-damaged inner tubes! However, there is usually a simple solution, make sure to read our Fitting Instructions page and this will answer this one before it happens!
Wo Wo Wo! Easy! Please see our 'Read Me' in the 'Puncture Protection' drop down menu, this will help!
You'll see that valve come in a variety of sizes, one solution is to measure your current valve or check out our valve guide to make sure you have the right valve for the job
Yes, you're correct! With quality tubes you have a stronger rubber so that will help, also their manufacture quality means less issues with breakages and also they don't loose pressure as easily as standard tubes, meaning more consistency and improved performance. Remember the adage, 'buy cheap, buy twice'.

Any valve cap is better than no valve cap, they keep the dust out of you valve and protected the internals. To go one step further a metal valve cap has the same benefits, increases pressure retention (incase of a leaking valve core) and look a dam sight better in our opinion if you like that sort of thing. So yes, they are well worth using.
