Are Bathtime Pictures Child Porn?
The parents in the Walmart child porn case speak out.
On Friday, we told you about A.J. and Lisa Demaree, the couple who took their kids' bathtime photos to Walmart to be developed and then were investigated for child porn. This morning, they spoke to "Good Morning America" about their ordeal.
"I don't understand it at all," A.J. Demaree told "Good Morning America." "Ninety-nine percent of the families in America have these exact same photos."
As we reported previously, the Demarees' kids were taken from them for more than a month. Their names were placed on a sex offender registry, and Lisa Demaree was suspended from her school job for an entire year. The couple has spent $75,000 on legal bills.
"It was unbelievable. I was in so much disbelief. I started to hyperventilate. I tried to breathe it out," Lisa Demaree told "GMA" this weekend, struggling through tears. "Some of the photos are bath time photos, but there are a few after the bath. Three of the girls are naked, laying on a towel, with their arms around each other, and we thought it was so cute."
After the ordeal, this mom looks at everything differently. "It took us a long time to take a picture [again]," she said. "I even worry about them in their bathing suits now, if I get a shot of them in their bathing suits and they're tilting their heads a certain way or their hips are sticking out a little bit, all I think of is, 'Does someone think that it was posed? Or how is that going to be perceived?'"
Lisa is beyond distraught. "Honestly we've missed a year of our children's lives as far as our memories go," she continued. "As crazy as it may seem, what you may think are the most beautiful innocent pictures of your children may be seen as something completely different and completely perverted."
What do you think about this case? Comment below.
I really feel bad for the parents. I don't think that they were creating porn, nor do I think that the police should have dragged this out. However, the photo they described, with their three daughters lying naked on a towel with their arms around each other sounds completely inappropriate. Now I see why the Walmart employee was concerned. I think that the image, though the intent was innocent, sounds suspect. I wouldn't want my children photographed in a similar pose by an uncle, teacher, or neighbor. I don't see how it being taken by a parent would be okay either.
My heart goes out to those parents and their children. It is horrible what they have all been through and the people that reported it should be ashamed. We all take pictures of our kids that way, I cant even count how many I have of my kids. I would be livid and sue the pants off of everyone involved and the just spend time with my kids.
Absolutely ridiculous! They are innocent photos and the authorities should be ashamed of themselves for taking those kids away. I hope they sue Walmart and local authorities. They deserve to reimbersed for all their legal fees and lost wages.
I sure hope they win their lawsuit. I doubt that child pornographers take their photos to Walmart to be developed!!!
I think that walmart along with the local police department and child services needs to be put through a moron test before hiring. The kids and parents will suffer the rest of their lives for all of the stupidity.
Walmart shouldn't be blamed in any countercase. I believe under law they are suppose to notify police for any suspicious activity. Given that a film developer is quickly inspecting the photos unknown to whom took them,did a valid thing notifying police. Think if they had not notified police and someone other than parents had taken them, than the chant would be sue them for not caring.
how can Shelly say that photo with the 2 sisters taken by the parents is inappropriate!? Have Americans become that puritanical that 2 young sisters cannot be playing with each other, even if they are naked!?
Not every family treats the body as if it is a dirty thing that must be hidden at all times.
My parents have a great picture of me and my young brother playing outside with a sprinkler - buck naked. He is behind me with his arms around me.
It's still one of my most cherished childhood picture, I can still remember that warm summer afternoon.
sad but true, in this day and age you just have to be really careful
i think all parents took pictures like this of r kids, i know i did, but that was 30 yrs ago. if u keep the pictures in the family photo album where only ur family will see them , i see no problem
I think all parents have bath time pictures and its no harm in that, But This day in time you never know they are some sick people out her and i guess this was on of those things that put red flags up but It shouldn't have gone on this long and I hope these parents sue and win for all the time and money lost.
It seems to me that if the picture posted in this article is the picture in question, there is nothing inappropriate about it. The girls are sitting together, with a towel, and the towel is even covering them up! It's ridiculous that this happened.
I think this is so sad. I have pictures like this. I love them. I understand the need to keep our children safe. I want my kids to be safe. But we need to keep it within reason. Come on people, be reasonable.
I have similar photos of my 4 beautiful children when they were little as my parents did of me and my sister! So what now? We are labled sex offenders? If I decide to breastfeed my child in public is that considered pornographic or lewd? Give me a break please. What this couple and their children went through is absolutely WRONG! Obviously the photo lab employee at Wal-Mart clearly overeacted. Don't get me wrong now… I am totally against child pornography and child molesters and I wish they will all rot in hell and the laws that they have are not severe enough but there is a difference between tasteful, cute pictures and pornographic pictures. The couples reputation is now ruined and the children traumatized… They should be awarded compensation for this mess and personally I think they should sue!
i have pics of my kids like that also, i i do think taht walmart should pay them back every penny. man u cant even take pic to be developed w/out someone calling the cops on u. did this person see that they were just bathtime shots?
man some people are such morons
i think that they need to focus their efforts on REAL pedophiles, child molesters and child abusers and quit putting innocent people through this sort of thing.
Who gets pictures developed nowadays. I think that's the root of this entire problem. Someone needs to get these people a digital camera.
Like someone posted above: what pervert would go to Walmart to have their photos developed?! But stupid things happen to good people all the time, no big surprise there. It all depends on the good sense, and sound judgement of the authorities. If they fail in that, the damage they can wreak is horrific. That poor family has been scarred for life.
I feel for this family but I can tell you that I worked at a film processing plant over 20 years ago and even back then we had a policy that if we saw pictures of a nude child, we had to turn it over to our superviser. I don't know what happened after that but it was up to us "worker" to turn them in. I don't blame Walmart but I do blame the police and the cps that took it that far. They should have been able to do thier investagation much faster and not put this family through such a hard process.
Would you want someone to take pictures of you naked on a towel then get them developed at Wal-Mart? Probably not, so why do this to our children, who are also humans? Oh, right. Because it's "cute". Stop treating your kids like accessories.

La Formación de los Economistas en America Latina
AbstractThis paper presents a comparative view of the training of economists in Latin America, analyzing curricula, commonly utilized textbooks, professors' time-commitments, teaching methods, and the use of technologies and computational tools. Also, following the approach of Colander (2005), the paper presents the results of a survey of Economics students, creating a socioeconomic profile of them and examining their attitudes and opinions. Among the regularities found for the five countries, it is particularly notable the lack of connection between students' expectations regarding job market demand for economists and the actual demand by employment sectors.

30 Year Old Male 1st Time Botox - San Francisco, CA
I decided to get Botox since they were having a promo at a local MedSpa. I got a total of 30 units yesterday and may add more in two weeks if I need it. The procedure was really really fast! The consultation and chit chat with the nurse took a lot longer than the actual procedure. It's day two... READ MORE

Theres No Need To Be Scared Now2 Reviews
getting to know the guys
I woke up from my marvelous dream of none of this ever happening to see Mikey's face a mere inch from me. He was starring at me with a smile. I yelped and squirmed. He giggled and rolled off me. He sat crossed legged next to me with his knees touching my sides.
"Breakfast time!" He playfully sang. I remembered what Gerard said last night and felt my heart pound against my chest.
"But I didn't try to escape or anything, I swear!" I explained and Mikey starred at me confused and then laughed obviously reading my mind.
"Not my breakfast, your breakfast. GeeGee went out and bought human munchies." He said and grabbed my hand. He hopped out of bed and easily yanked me out of it. He didn't look like much but he held a lot of strength in him. I wiped my eyes sleepily not ready to start my day without some coffee and was practically flown down the stairs. When I got in the kitchen I saw Bob at the table eating a bagel, Frank was sleeping on the table with a cup in his hand. Gerard was over him trying to wake him up. My eyes were focused on his cup. Coffee.
"Coffee." I said out loud getting the attention of everyone but the unconscious Frankie. I turned to try and find the coffee pot but when I turned to the kitchen I saw tons of food. Every type of food I could think of was there in that large kitchen, the hallway and the living room. I just looked at it, too tired to do much else.
"Gerard didn't want to go back any time soon so he just bought everything he could." Mikey answered my unasked question.
"Coffee." I said again and Gerard appeared at my side with a cup of steaming coffee.
"I go out of my way to get anything the girl might want and all she wants is what we already had." He mumbled and walked back over to Frank. I drank it down and felt my brain switch on. I walked over and grabbed a box of Count Coco Puffs. I looked at the vampire and couldn't help but think 'Ironic huh?' Mikey and Gerard laughed as they must have read my thoughts and Bob looked at them strangely. I sat next to Frank and pored the milk into the bowl and Mikey handed me a spoon. I ate my cereal looking down careful not to look at any of them. Gerard put another cup of coffee down in front of me and it was gone as quickly as the first cup. Mikey walked over to Frank and pulled the chair out from under him. Frank fell to the floor and woke up quickly.
"The fuck?" He yelled at Mikey but stopped when he saw his giggling face. "Ya lucky ya so cute." He said and turned to me. "Ah mortal gal. How are ya this morning'?" He asked and sat back down. He grabbed his cup of cold coffee and frowned. Suddenly there was steam coming out of the cup and he smiled again. He looked at me expecting an answer.
"Scared." I answered honestly looking back down at my food.
"Scared? Haha good. Fear is a good thing ta have, yeah?" He smiled up at Gerard. "But we aint gonna hurt ya unless you give a reason to."
I nodded and took another bite of the chocolate cereal.
"So. Skye, ya have a pretty name." Frank said
I bit my lip ring and tried to think of something to say.
"You're a Demon." I started with. Frank looked at me like he was waiting for the rest of the sentence.
"Uh. Correct." He said and looked over at Bob. "And you're a human?"
"Then you are evil, right?" I asked ignoring his other comment.
"Well, I try darlin." He smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow.
"And you are nice." I said.
"Ya sure like to state the obvious." He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
"And you are a vampire." I said turning to Mikey, who sat next to me.
"Mmmhmm" He said leaning back in his seat.
"You drink the blood of humans, like your brother." I asked starring at the giggly boy.
"Only the sweet ones, sugar." He said putting a hand on my knee. I shivered thinking about how he phrased that.
"And you're gay." I asked and his eyes went wide and he blushed four shades of red.
"Oh… Wrong. You got the wrong brother." His eyes moved to Gerard and back to me confused.
"Oh, I'm sorry I just assumed. Cause you were so giggly and… uhm" I looked down embarrassed.
"Dykie Mikey." Frank said and erupted into giggles at Mikey's glare.
"I'm… Not straight though. Just to be fair, you were 50% correct." He admitted smirking at Frank. Frank winked back and then leaned back still giggling at his nickname for Mikey.
"So Frank is half gay too?" I turned to look at him and he nodded.
"Right. And you're gay" I turned to Gerard who was sitting on the counter.
"Yes, ma'am." He answered. "And you already drilled me yesterday."
I nodded and tuned to Bob.
"And you're an Angel." I said and he got a slight frown.
"You could say that."
"Fallen Angel would be more correct though." Gerard clarified.
"I wasn't allowed to mingle with a demon and two misquotes but I did, losing the title 'Angel'." He said sadly.
"Sorry." I said closed my eyes trying to think. This was all so much to take in.
"So you're a human." Mikey piped in.
"Yeah." I said looking over at him. He really was adorable, he was looking at me smiling with his glasses and messy hair. His smile grew proclaiming that he had once again probed my mind.
"And you were kicked out of your family, like Bob?" He asked bluntly. My thoughts went to Tyler as I wondered how he is fairing with me no longer there. My heart hurt for the first time since I left. He was my best friend and I already missed him.
"Yeah." I said swallowing the lump in my throat.
"We could take him, too." Mikey suggested. I starred at him, tempted.
"No, maybe later." I said hoping there will still be a later.
"Alright, hmm, Who scares you the most here?" He asked smiling.
I almost laughed. Bob was the only one who didn't scare me right now. I looked the three over. Frank admitted to being evil, was a demon and didn't hide the fact that he doesn't care about me. Gerard threatened me, saying he would kill me if I tried to leave. Mikey said he like people who were sweet and then called me sweet… They all scared me.
"In my defense I also went out and bought a store out for you." Gerard mumbled looking at all the food.
"Uhm I don't know Mikey." I admitted sighing.
"Well I'm not going to bite you unless you ask me to." Mikey said drumming his fingers on my knee.
"Do you eat normal food?" I asked curious.
"Uh… no. Vampires eat blood."
"So you go out at night and kill people."
"Yes." He answered honestly. I shivered.
"Ah I see someone read Twilight." Gerard chimed in from behind me. "Unfortunately there really aint any vegetarian vampires. We don't eat cows or lions or nothin'. We drink humans or we die. Food chain, doll."
"Right… Why don't you just kill me then?" I asked hesitantly.
"Ya want us to?" Frank asked confused
"No! No I mean… I just don't understand why you wouldn't just kill me."
"Somethin told us not ta." Frank confessed seemingly as confused as me. "All of us. We were huntin and we found ya in a fight and we were planning on killin ya too, but then when ya passed out, we all just… couldn't."
"Does that happen often?"
"Nevea. So we kept ya." The way Frankie said it made me sound like a pet.
"You were going to kill me??" I asked starting to back out of my chair knocking Mikey's hand off my knee.
"Yeah, but we ain't gonna now. Sugea, just calm down." Frank said regretting his words.
"Do you still want to kill me?" I asked panicked.
"No one is gonna hurt ya. I promise." Frank said locking my eyes in his. "I aint gonna let anyone touch ya."
For some reason that calmed me. The words of a demon calmed me.
"Right. Bob?" I called.
"You'll make sure I'm safe too right?" I asked, I knew I could trust the word of an Angel. Even a fallen one.
"I will." He agreed, "And so will those two."
I looked at Mikey and Gerard. And they both nodded.
"And honestly, who is going to fuck with someone with a demon, angel and two vampires protecting them?" Gerard asked and I nodded.
"This conversations a downer. We should do somethin fun." Frank said. I leaned back not really in the mood to do anything.
"We could do something fun." Mikey winked at Frank and Frank licked his smirking lips.
I could tell what they were talking about and couldn't help but imagine what they would look like together. Their bodies pressed against each others moving roughly against each other. Mikey put his hand on my upper thigh bringing me away from my thoughts.
"Mmm, I love where your mind is going." He whispered into my ear. "try this."
I blushed and looked down. His hand slowly moved up and suddenly my thoughts involved me in the middle of them. I couldn't control what was happening in my own mind. I was between the two gorgeous boys. Mikey in front of me sliding in and out of me, moaning and making me moan loudly. Frank behind me, taking me from behind, grabbing my hair and biting his lower lip. His head lowers down and he bites my shoulder. A Strangled cough brought me out of the dream like thought. And I turn to Gerard who was looking disturbed.
"Mikey, next time you put thoughts into her head, make sure I'm not in the room. Unless they include me." He said glaring.
I looked to Mikey and saw him with a cocky smile, I turn to Frank and saw he had an identical smile and a dark look in his eyes.
"I sent the same thought to Frankie." Mikey explained and I shook my head to stop the thought from returning.
"I… Think I am going to go back to sleep." I said and started for my bed.
"Skye? I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. I was joking around though." Mikey explained.
I nodded and put a hand on my head. I needed to take a nap. I was exhausted already and it was still early in the morning.

Bridging refers to combining two (four) channels of an amplifier into one (two) channel(s) with twice the voltage. A two channel amp can be bridged to one channel, and a four channel amp into two channels. Bridging the channels increases the power output. An amplifier is usually bridged to combine two channels to power one subwoofer, or to combine four channels into powering two subwoofers. To clarify, you cannot bridge a monoblock amplifier! The definition of bridging is combining two or more channels, and a monoblock amplifier has only one channel. You will need opposing channels in order to bridge the amplifier. In technical terms, you using a low source impedance to drive a large load impedance, which results in maximum voltage transfer.
Bridgeable amplifiers are designed with an inverted channel for bridging purposes. The inverted channel produces voltage that is generated at the opposite polarity of the regular, un-bridged channel. Bridging an amplifier produces almost four times the amount of power as it would in an un-bridged status.
Before you attempt to bridge an amplifier, there are certain conditions you must keep in mind. Only bridge an amplifier that can handle the increased power load. Do not bridge an amp that will be unstable at the bridged load, or if the speakers cannot handle the increased power. Always check your product's paperwork and diagrams before you bridge your amplifier. Using your amplifier's paperwork is the easiest way to figure out how to bridge your amplifier.
Unless otherwise stated, all multi-channel amplifiers have a minimum bridged stability that is higher than the minimum stated impedance from one of its channels. For example, a 2 channel amplifier that is 1 ohm stable per channel would have a minimum impedance of 2 ohms when bridged. In reality, most amps are only stable at a 4 ohm load in mono/bridged configuration.
To bridge your amplifier, locate the amp terminals. For a 2-channel amplifier, you will see four terminals. A positive and a negative terminal for channel one, and likewise for channel two. If you are bridging this 2-channel amp to one subwoofer, you will connect one piece of speaker wire from the positive terminal of channel 1 to the speaker's positive terminal. Next connect a separate cut of speaker wire to the negative terminal of channel 2 to the speaker's negative terminal.
That's the gist of amplifier bridging. If you are totally inexperienced, ask a knowledeable friend to help guide you.

Macs to finally support 802.11ac Wi-Fi this year: report
Summary: A report suggests that Apple is getting ready to give Wi-Fi on the Macs a significant speed boost by adding 802.11ac support.
There are no shortage of 802.11ac Wi-Fi routers out there, but hardware supporting the standard -- still a way off final approval -- is thin on the ground. However, if a report by The Next Web is accurate, Apple will integrate Gigabit Wi-Fi into new Macs by the end of 2013.
According to the report, the Cupertino electronics giant has reached an agreement with chipmaker Broadcom -- one of the few chipmakers that currently manufacture 802.11ac chipsets -- to develop 802.11ac chipsets for inclusion into Macs.
The report goes on to claim the Wi-Fi chip that Apple wants is not currently available, but in development.
Checks with supply chain sources confirm that Apple has reached an agreement with Broadcom to supply an as-yet unreleased 802.11ac chipset.
The 802.11ac standard -- sometimes called 5G Wi-Fi -- offers significantly faster data transfer capacity compared to 802.11n. An 802.11n device with three antennas can hit transfer rates of 450Mbps. 802.11ac is capable of matching that speed with a single antenna. With three antennas -- and under perfect conditions -- an 802.11ac-enabled connection can hit transfer rates of 1.3Gbps.
But speed isn't the only benefit that 802.11ac offers. It also brings with it better coverage and dramatically improved power efficiency.
Upgrading to 802.11ac will not only offer improved Internet speeds, but also speed up Apple's AirDrop sharing feature, as well as better, more reliable AirPlay connections.
There is no word as to whether Apple is planning to add 802.11ac support to iDevices, Apple TV, Time Capsule storage devices, and AirPort routers.

Artschwager, originally an apprentice cabinetmaker, was known for his distinctive sculptures.
LOS ANGELES – Richard Artschwager, an artist who turned his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker into a distinctive approach to making sculptures and paintings that defy easy categorization, died Saturday in Albany, N.Y., following a brief illness. He was 89.
Artschwager is primarily known for three unique bodies of work. His sculptures, carefully crafted from wood and often covered in a veneer of ordinary Formica, establish a subtle tension between the conventional utility of furniture and the perceived uselessness of art. His paintings, mostly limited to black acrylic applied to a cheap building material known as Celotex board, frequently derive from photographs, but they are given unexpected material heft with the addition of heavy, light-reflective metal frames.
Finally, an installation aspect took the form of small, lozenge-shaped pieces of black wood or vinyl decals that the artist inserted into unexpected architectural places. The shape recalls the space to be filled in with black pencil or ink on a computerized questionnaire like a standardized exam or election ballot, or the hole in an old IBM punch-card. Artschwager called these abstract lozenges "Blps" – pronounced "blips" – and their subtle references suggest that a meaning or an answer is located someplace else. He deployed them like perceptual black holes that draw curious energy from the spaces around them.
What unites Artschwager's disparate sculptures, paintings and Blps is their exploration of the vagaries of perception. A viewer is never quite certain of exactly what he is looking at _ including the object's status as art. For instance, merely through different colored shapes of laminate veneer, a plain waist-high cube might also describe a solid table, the empty space beneath it and the thin tablecloth on top of it.
Coming of age in the 1950s, when emotion was at the core of Abstract Expressionist painting and sculpture and the purity of different mediums was paramount, Artschwager instead turned to sense perception to make art that crossed established boundaries. Furniture was a touchstone for the development of his work.
"Handle" (1962) was the breakthrough piece. A rectangle 4 feet wide and 30 inches high is beautifully crafted from a cylinder of honed and polished wood. Although three-dimensional like a sculpture, it hangs on the wall like a painting. Made of wood, like a painting's traditional frame, it only encloses a view of the wall behind it. Meant to be grasped, as any handle would, it cannot be touched because it is a work of art.
Artschwager was getting a "handle" on the direction his art would take for the next 50 years. Painting, sculpture, context and perception seem to collapse into themselves in this eccentric object, as the old categories are being erased. Qualities that would soon be attributed to Pop, Minimal and Conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s are all present.
"Portrait I," also from 1962, further elaborated his interests. An ordinary bedroom dresser is topped by a framed picture of a slightly grinning man. The wood grain of the dresser is hand-painted, its swirls a pastiche of Abstract Expressionist gestures, while the photo-based painted portrait is blurred and out of focus, defeating the commemorative purpose.
"Portrait II," made the following year, accelerated his evolution. This dresser has no drawers, forsaking function, while the face in the picture has been replaced by a solid plane of Formica that is the same material from which the dresser/pedestal is made.
Formica was patented in 1913 as an electrical insulation substitute "for mica," a silicate that resists electrical current, but after World War II it gained widespread popularity as a decorative laminate. Artschwager applied its low-art properties to high-art purposes. He exploited the plastic's artificial pictorial qualities, since it imitates not only natural materials such as stone and wood but the brushwork in abstract paintings.
Artschwager often used Formica that looks like burl wood, a deformity of the grain that grows in trees under stress. Burl also finds a wry precedent in the elaborate wood veneers of 18th-century aristocratic French furniture, widely considered a pinnacle of achievement in the European history of decorative art. Applied to modern geometric forms like cubes and plinths, Artschwager made sculptures that have the strange sense of being ordinary objects that are simultaneously pictures of objects.
As a support for paintings that often focus on architectural subjects chosen from reproductions in newspapers, magazines and books, Artschwager used Celotex board rather than canvas. Celotex is a textured building material that, like the original Formica, is also used as insulation. Its random pattern of surface whorls captures little puddles of thinned acrylic paint, blurring any image painted on it. Artschwager used the property to advantage.
"Untitled (Tract House)," from 1967, one of eight Artschwager works in the Museum of Contemporary Art's collection, is emblematic. An ordinary, boxy middle-class house fills the image, which is taken from a black and white photograph. The Celotex makes it as fuzzy as a TV picture on the fritz. The bulky silver frame gives the dissolving scene some heft, but something also seems askew. It takes a moment to realize that the composition's perspective is out of whack.

Cowan's Auctions, Cincinnati, Ohio

On the strength of two vastly different collections, the September 20 American Indian and Western art sale conducted by Cowan's Auctions in Cincinnati, Ohio, grossed more than $1.2 million. Leading the way was a pair of Joseph Henry Sharp paintings from a Cincinnati home and Native American material from Marvin L. Lince of Oregon.
Topping all bids was Crow Encampment by Sharp (1859-1953), an oil on canvas work showing two figures near a campfire outside a pair of teepees adjacent to the Little Bighorn River. Measuring 22" x 26½", plus the original southwestern frame, the snowy landscape realized $309,000 (includes buyer's premium), well above its estimate of $80,000/120,000.
The scene was likely painted in the first decade of the 20th century. From 1905 to 1909, Sharp spent time on the Crow Agency in Montana, creating a number of large encampment scenes. Around 1910 he shifted his efforts almost exclusively to Taos, New Mexico, concentrating on a different genre of work—vibrant images that were often more formulaic in nature. That later work typically featured southwestern Indians who modeled for the artist in their Pueblo homes or in the surrounding desert.
Although the Taos paintings defined Sharp's career, the Plains works command greater interest because of their scarcity. "The Montana scenes never show up," said Graydon Sikes, Cowan's director of paintings and prints.
The strength of the bidding reflected a combination of factors—the scarcity, size, quality, and freshness of the painting. Sikes was thrilled with the result. "That is a great price," he said.
A second Sharp painting from the same consignor was Pueblo Drummer, an 18" x 12" oil on canvas showing a seated figure holding a drum. Signed and inscribed "Taos, N.M.," this painting was also in its original southwestern frame. Bidding went to $99,000 on an estimate of $40,000/60,000.
An example of Sharp's recurring work in Taos, Pueblo Drummer was probably painted in the 1920's, at the peak of the artist's career. The catalog noted, "Loose, colorful brushstrokes, typical of the Taos School modernists, combined with an attention to light are present in the best of Sharp's Taos works. The sitter, also known as Elk Foot Jerry or 'Hunting Son,' often posed for Sharp. It is conceivable that Sharp had a hand in the construction of, or at least the matching of, the frame for this painting."
The Taos scene wasn't unusual, but it was good. "It was very typical, but it had everything right going for it. It was never restored and was probably in its original frame," said Sikes. "And again, it was buried for a long time."
Both works originated from the private collection of a Cincinnati family that bought Western art in the 1940's through the 1960's. Passed down to a daughter who consigned them, these two paintings returned to the market for the first time in decades. They sold on the phone to the same bidder in Montana.
"There are a lot of collections in Cincinnati that have [Henry] Farnys and Sharps. Those two artists spent their time here," said Sikes. "There's just a ton of great Western paintings buried here in Cincinnati."
From a second consignor came a monotype Indian portrait by Sharp, 14" x 11", plus the original frame, that sold for $5400. "I actually thought that was pretty soft," said Sikes. "It's basically watercolor on glass that he turns over and makes that impression on paper. That was one-of-a-kind…Down the road, I think, once people realize how rare they are, they will bring much, much more." The buyer was a Cincinnati collector.
The market for Sharp's art has rebounded nicely, according to Sikes. "I was terrified of Sharp for a while. There were a couple of years there where he was really soft."
The other main draw of the auction was a grouping of material from the Lince collection. Lince became interested in Indian arts in the late 1980's, buying top-notch examples and often paying top-dollar prices. Cowan's first sold a selection of material from the collection in April. At that auction, an Eastern Plains three-bladed knife club realized $180,000.
This second go-round featured 17 lots, topped by a Great Lakes pipe tomahawk with brass and silver inlay and a tiger maple haft selling for $93,000. The piece had a forged head with a tulip-shaped bowl engraved with flowers and stars.
A Western Plains pipe tomahawk sold for $60,000. The forged blade had double cutouts outlined with dots, while the barrel-shaped bowl was embellished with three hatched rings. The file-branded haft was studded with brass tacks and incised with X's and crosshatch marks. Attached to the haft was a beaded drop in the form of antelope horns.
A dag knife having a beaded sheath, said to have been owned by Crowfoot (d. 1890), a Blackfoot chief, sold for $78,000. The blacksmith-made knife had a maple handle detailed with two brass tacks, while the sheath was in a variety of colored beads. A Red River Metis quilled-hide knife sheath and a Sheffield-made dag knife sold together for $54,000.
The variety of lots from the Lince collection included a Cheyenne beaded buffalo-hide cradle at $37,200; a Blackfoot bow made from a single elk antler, $18,000; and a Lakota Sioux polychrome courting flute that sold for $8400.
"I was fairly pleased with the results for the second portion," said Danica Farnand, Cowan's director of American Indian art. The final grouping of material from Lince's collection will be offered by Cowan's in April.
Other items in the auction also did well. "There was a lot of interest in the really good stuff and the unique pieces," Farnand said. "Overall, I thought the sale was a fairly exciting auction."
Highlights included a Navajo woman's dress that sold for $24,000; a Thompson River beaded-hide war shirt and leggings, $22,800; an Eastern Great Lakes burl bowl having a bear effigy, $18,000; a Navajo first-phase concha belt, $13,200; and two Navajo room-size Ganado weavings at $12,000 each.
The two weavings typified this specific auction, as well as the market in general, which continues to run hot and cold. Great items are still finding steady interest, while mediocre material often struggles. "The more ordinary stuff is tough to sell," said Farnand. That's not the case with better pieces, like the large weavings. "The room-size weavings are really nice pieces—great imagery, great color, I think that's why they did what they did."
For more information, phone (513) 871-1670 or visit (www.cowanauctions.com).

A Harrisonburg woman is facing child neglect and endangerment charges after she allegedly left her child in her car.
Twenty-four-year-old Socorro Benito Pacheco has been charged with felonies.
The Harrisonburg Police Department responded to a report of a child in an unattended vehicle shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Police say two citizens reported hearing a baby crying and found the child in the unlocked car in a shopping center parking lot on the 100 block of Carlton Street.
The 11-month-old child was taken to Rockingham Memorial Hospital for evaluation, but it appears as though it did suffer any life-threatening injuries.
Police say it was 89 degrees outside the vehicle when the child was removed, but the temperature inside near the child's safety seat was 118 degrees.
Officials offer some tips to keep children safe during the hot summer months.
- Never leave a child alone inside or around a vehicle, not even for one minute.
- Put something (your purse , wallet, office keys, etc.) near your child's safety seat to remind you they are riding in the vehicle with you.
- Call 911 if you ever see a child left unattended in a vehicle. If the child is hot or sick, remove them from the vehicle as soon as possible.
- Take plenty of water and snacks with you, when traveling in a vehicle.

Many ask us to define what we are, hence why I am writing this blog post. First of all let me explain the differences between a B&B, Inn & Hotel and then explain what guests are calling the Clay Corner Inn after their experience here:
Bed & Breakfast:
Guests are offered private bedrooms, some with their own bathrooms and others that share a bathroom with other guests. B&B's offer a full breakfast and guests sit around a large table to eat. Usually B&B's are owned and operated by individuals who live on the property and run their business of up to 6 rooms by themselves. They do not usually offer any other meals a part from Breakfast. Pricing includes the bedroom & breakfast and many times other amenities such as homemade cookies & beverages.
Very similar to a B&B however you will find that an Inn has over 6 rooms, individual bathrooms for each guest's room and both joint as well as individual seating for breakfast. Inn's will tend to hire professional staff to work in the Inn creating more of a professional atmosphere. Many Inns offer breakfast as well as other meals. Pricing includes the bedroom & breakfast and many times other amenities such as homemade cookies & beverages.
A hotel will offer 2 to 3 meals a day, have a bar and individual meal seating arrangements. Each room will always have a private bathroom and the dcor in the room is generally the same throughout. Many hotels now belong to a chain of hotels so travelers will know exactly what the layout and dcor of the rooms is prior to staying there. The pricing is usually for the room and then all other items are purchased upon request, meals, wifi etc..
Our story is a little complicated since in our name we have Inn because we have 8 bedrooms with individual bathrooms, both individual and joint breakfast areas and also serve meals other than breakfast! However, licenses have the category of B&B & not Inn so we fall into that category. BUT we offer many of the amenities of a Hotel such as en-suite bathrooms, complimentary toiletries, wifi, games room, DVD, CD & book library, full kitchens, lounge areas, business center, air conditioning, extended cable TV, swimming pool and more. Quite a mix wouldn't you say?
Because our guest's opinion is very important we decided to ask them how they see us and this is where it gets even more complicated.. the majority are calling us a "Boutique Hotel" which, in our opinion, is a huge compliment because we are very unique. Please read the definition of a Boutique Hotel below:
A Boutique Hotel falls under a category of being unique, varying in size, setting & offer. They are focused on offering their services in an intimate and comfortable way. They tend to be stylish and have individually themed accommodation trying to meet their guest's individual needs. One of the characteristics is to have individual lounge areas for guest's to relax in. Generally it's a unique and upscale experience.
So the answer to our quandary is that our Guests have come to the conclusion that CLAY CORNER INN falls under the BOUTIQUE HOTEL category.... and we thank you for that.

Beijing's 'Water Army' Swamps Social Media
July 25, 2013
Long known for its out-and-out censorship, Beijing now appears to be filling Chinese social media with pro-government messages. The new tack was on full display after the Thursday indictment of fallen Communist Party member Bo Xilai, who was busted for corruption and abuse of power in 2012. While China's social media censors were surely working overtime, so too were its copywriters.

Confronted by this onslaught, the usual response of social democratic parties and trades unions has been a defensive cry for the maintenance of the welfare state. But calls for a return to the era of Keynesian `big government' are as inadequate as the demand that unemployment be solved by `more jobs.' They forget the important critique of the welfare state mounted by workers, feminists and anti-poverty movements during the 1960s and 1970s, which addressed not only the quantitative limits of social expenditures and programs but also the qualitative problems arising from their frequently demeaning and invasive administration. It is important to recognise that neoliberal success in deregulation and privatisation rests in part on mobilising these real popular resentments against remote, bureaucratic and hierarchical forms of state power. Moreover, a purely defensive response to privatisation neglects the real possibilities for more responsive and participatory "governmentality" than that of the old Planner StateDyer-Witheford in Cyber-Marx: Cycles and Circuits of Struggle in High-Technology Capitalism

I heard they're making a new version of "Abe's Oddysee", with upgraded graphics and different ways to progress through the game, including no more "loading pages", which the two first games are quite known for. Sounds pretty neat, though I'm sure the old version will remain a classic ^^ And yeah, in case you haven't guessed already, this is the Oddworld version of the scene in "How to Train Your Dragon" which just popped into my mind earlier.
Abe and a Scrab, located somewhere in Scrabania.
No, I have no idea how the outcome of this encounter will be like. Perhaps not exactly like in the movie.
Also, I know Abe originally has four fingers, and that he was re-designed because of some.. complaints? Either way, I decided to leave it neutral here, since you won't really be able to see his fourth finger even if he has it.

Radical thoughts like smaller gov't, personal responsibility, right to defend yourself! Many have left the republican party, however they moved to the libertarian party when the republicans decided big gov't was the answer. Democrats have proved to be just hoodlums on a power trip. It's obvious that they have no new ideas, only recycled old ideas that have been proven in the history books to fail.

Fellaini sits out training, plus Ireland eye Gibson return.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
MAROUANE FELLAINI has given Everton FC an injury scare ahead of Sunday's trip to Old Trafford, after he missed training with Belgium yesterday.
Fellaini is already rated a doubt by his country for tomorrow's friendly match with Slovakia.
Despite heading an injury-time equaliser against Aston Villa on Saturday, Everton's influential midfielder complained of discomfort in his hip when he reported for international duty.
He sat out training yesterday along with Arsenal centre-back Thomas Vermaelen.
Fellaini terrorised United on the opening weekend of this season, heading the winner against Alex Ferguson's side.
He also enjoyed an outstanding match at Old Trafford in last season's corresponding fixture, scoring in the 4-4 draw which effectively cost United the Premier League title.
PHIL NEVILLE is hoping Everton FC can find a spring in their step again – now that the gruelling January fixture list is behind them.
Between December 22 and Saturday's visit of Aston Villa, the Blues contested 10 fixtures in 43 days – having used the fewest number of players in the Premier League this season.
But now, barring Cup replays or Cup rearrangements, they don't have another midweek fixture for the rest of the season.
The return to weekend-to- weekend fixtures could, the Blues skipper hopes, see a greater intensity to the Blues' displays once again.
"The second half of the season is always when we kick on," he explained.
"Against Swansea and Southampton recently, we probably dipped below our previous standards and didn't play with the same intensity or the same speed in our play, and maybe that's because we were coming out of the Christmas period. We had West Ham, Wigan, Chelsea and then Newcastle. Put Cheltenham in that and you have five games in a short period of time and the same players played in every game.
"I think if you look at the rest of the Premier League and the other teams who played that number of games, their players probably only played in three of them. We had eight or nine players who played in all five so it's natural that there was going to be a little bit of a dip.
"But I think there have been points dropped by everybody and tired and jaded performances from every team. It's something that we probably expected and it's one where we had to look at January and say we just had to get through this month.
"It happens every season where you come out of the Christmas period and you're almost fighting for your lives then for the whole of January to regain your freshness.
"Once you get into February and the weather changes a little and the pitches get a bit better then I think you'll see most teams kick on again."
Boss David Moyes endorsed his captain's asessment.
After Saturday's draw with Aston Villa he said: "We've lost three games this season and we're into February now. I think that's got to be put into perspective. I'm glad we're through that busy period, but it's been busy for other clubs too."
PHIL JAGIELKA has already lined up in an England jersey against some of the giants of world football.
The Everton defender has faced World champions Spain, 2006 World Cup winners Italy and 1998 winners France.
But now the Everton defender is hoping to enjoy a run-out against the most charismatic international team of all, when Brazil visit Wembley tomorrow.
He's taking nothing for granted, though.
Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Joleon Lescott and Chris Smalling are the central defenders vying with Jagielka for places against Brazil, and who starts is anyone's guess.
"The last 12 months have been a bit of a whirlwind," said Jagielka.
"From being in a position where you could pretty much have written down the back four and guessed who was going to be on the bench, now I don't think anyone is guaranteed to start.
"We have four or five really good centre-backs who are competing for both positions.
"It is not even like one is nailed down and the other is available.
"I guess that is what the manager enjoys.
"He has got a bit of everything – youth, experience, people who are playing in the Champions League. It is down to us to try and put your authority down and get that place."
Jagielka helped shut out the world and European champions in November 2011 – the second time he has faced Spain.
And he relished the experience.
"That Spain game wasn't make or break but because we won and kept a clean sheet it turned into a massive positive," he added.
"It is a similar situation now. Whether I get to play, or someone else, it is about gaining experience from a great test."
The test is certainly going to be a unique one.
With Ronaldinho and Neymar both named in the first squad of Luiz Felipe Scolari's second spell as Brazil coach, England will be facing forwards at either end of football's experience spectrum.
Now 32 and playing back home for Atlético Mineiro, Ronaldinho needs no introduction.
Neymar, 21 today, captured the imagination during Brazil's silver-medal-winning campaign at London 2012.
"I don't know a lot about Neymar. We don't see a lot of footage. He plays in Brazil so it is tough for us," added Jagielka.
"But we have video analysis people when we meet up with England and they will have plenty of footage for us to review.
"They will pick out his good points and bad ones. I am sure the good points will be going on for hours."
EVERTON defender Jake Bidwell has extended his loan spell at Brentford for another month.
The 19-year-old left-back, in his second spell at Griffin Park, has been a regular in Uwe Rosler's promotion-chasing side this season and made his 50th league appearance for the Bees against Yeovil on Saturday.
Bidwell's current deal, a youth loan, will run until March 5 with a view to extending it further.
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND assistant boss Marco Tardelli believes that Everton midfielder Darron Gibson could be ready to resume his international career.
The Irish midfielder has 19 full caps for his country, but made himself unavailable for future selection after being ignored during the Euro 2012 finals.
He was approached by Tardelli for this week's friendly international against Poland after Hull City midfielder David Meyler withdrew from the squad through injury.
Tardelli revealed that Gibson turned down the offer, but only because he believes he isn't fully fit after missing six Blues matches recently with a thigh problem.
Irish officials now hope he will return to the fold for next month's World cup qualifiers.
Darron Gibson is looking to end his self-imposed Republic or Ireland exile.
The Everton midfielder, 25, quit after the poor Euro 2012 finals campaign.
He is not fit to play against Poland tomorrow but has told boss Giovanni Trapattoni that he is available in future.
Assistant boss Marco Tardello said: "Darron told us that he wants to come back."
Marouane Fellaini is a doubt for Everton's away clash with Manchester United on Sunday after he missed training with Belgium because of hip pain.

Building Influence through Advocacy Networks
Lead: Chris Murray, Vice President for Advancement and Jack McIver, Vice President for Research
More than 34,000 University of Idaho alumni live and work in Idaho. While that is a large number, there are many more potential students and stakeholders that are not intimately familiar with the important work of the university that enriches their daily lives and builds the prosperity of the state. An opportunity exists for us to improve our relationships with key stakeholders through the voices and advocacy of our alumni.
In the original innovation proposal, Steve Johnson suggests that we work closely with alumni – both individually and through social media and other networks throughout the state – to better educate them about key university activities, so that they in turn can influence a variety of audiences including potential students, donors, and legislators. Our statewide presence and impact through academic centers, Research and Extension Centers, and County Extension Offices links our faculty to these alumni and many other influencers statewide.
This Strategic Innovation Initiative suggests we coordinate these existing resources into an integrated network that can help recruit students, increase donations, and influence legislative funding to support our mission and maximize our service to the state.
This is an opportune time for us to undertake these activities. Steve Johnson has been working to build alumni chapters, and their members are anxious to help the university. In addition, our Government Relations structure is undergoing reorganization as Legislative Relations Director Marty Peterson undertakes a phased retirement after a long and productive career. Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management Steve Neiheisel is working to build a recruitment network across the state so that we can attract more high-quality students with a diverse array of backgrounds. And, finally, the Office of University Advancement is in the silent phase of an ambitious fund-raising effort, and as such seeks to reach more Vandals, friends, and organizations statewide that benefit from our university's work, with the hope of inspiring them to invest in our future. All of this work is consistent with Goal 3 of the Strategic Action plan which states that we must form mutually beneficial two-way partnerships with the people and communities of the state.

Traditionally, Easter weekend in Sweden will mean that neighborhood kids will arrive, making a trick-or-treating-type circuit. Swedish children go from house to house dressed up as witches -- yes, a witches --- passing out hand made Easter Cards or drawings, trick-or-treat style, in exchange for coins and candy!
These Pop-up Easter cards will mailed but, making them had me thinking about what's ahead. Even if the Easter Rooster comes to Sweden or the Easter Bell in France, it's the Easter Bunny who comes to our house. I'm fascinated with culture and traditions. I wasn't familiar with the Easter bell until I met my husband. Are there other traditions where you live? I'd love to hear from you. Do you do much as preparation? We have our Easter Bouquet (here) and are working on eggs, too.
Template (if desired -- you can also choose to freehand the bunny)
---- A4 European Pop-up- (click here) Bunny Card Template
---- US Letter Sized (click here) Bunny Card Template
Card and envelope
Paints, crayons or glitter pens for coloring the bunny
Writing Pen
Xacto Knife
Green paper
Bone tool for scoring
Tutorial: Let's get started:
Prepare a working space that has a cutting surface. If you would like to use a template for cutting out the bunny, choose the template (here or here). If you cut this template in 1/2 it should fit standard sized cards in your region. So, to get started, cut out the bunny in the middle of the temple. Now, with the bunny cut out, fold it over the card. Carefully cut around the body of the the bunny but do not cut the area at the base of the bunny. This area needs to remain intact and will be the area that will be folded. Once it has been cut, slide a piece of paper under the bunny to protect the card and paint, color or glitter the bunny. Let dry. Flip over and repeat on the other side. Cut out a rectangular piece of green and fringe it for grass. This piece will be glued to the base of the bunny. Gently score a straight line at the bottom of the bunny and fold up, then, back into place. Write, paint or glue any text or Easter greeting to the interior of the card or to the cover. Sign and slip it into the envelope. It's ready for mailing! Hippity. Hoppity wishes for a great day! Happy making.
1. Cut template and interior bunny 2. Fold template over card. 3. Cut along template 4. Stop at bottom -- leaving the bottom intact. 5. Check that all edges have been cut. 6. Slide paper under the bunny to decorate. 7. Paint or 8. color or embellish, as you wish! 9. Mark fold and gently fold. Cut and fringe a green rectangle. Paste directly on to the bunny, at it's base, extending over the edge. Make sure that the bunny can be folded back.

Kate Gosselin and Her Bodyguard Live It Up
Kate Gosselin and her man of the moment, bodyguard Steve Neild, are loving the sun in North Carolina while Jon is, well, absent.
Isn't he married?
I wonder if she berates, degrades, and emasculates him like she does her husband.
Thats her bodygaurd isnt it his job to be with her?
Why is it that Kate never smiles? She has so much to be thankful for. Healthy children,wealth,even a new and very much improved body (compared to pictures of her from the past).In all the pictures lately,she looks emotionally drained and not at all happy, almost lost.I bet her children miss her bright smile and twinkle in her eyes. I hope that Kate finds a place in her life one day, that truly makes her smile once again! Life is too short. Smiling releases seritonin and actually makes you feel happy and stress free!
WHY does this witch need a body guard anyway? WHO would want to even be around her? I bet he doesnt take one bit of her crap… But he will keep banging her til it gets old and leave her high and dry. RUN JON!!!!!
What started out as a nice family program has turned into a show featuring Kate, which I would never watch just to see her. I no longer watch this program about a family who clearly exploits their children and airs their dirty laundry on national TV. Where would Jon and Kate be without those kids to support them.
