9th March 2017
We were excited to be chosen by BirotarUK who were reviewing motorcycle covers and wanted to find bike covers that are very high quality yet affordable.
BirotarUK have a very successful UK blog for bike enthusiasts & loved the Apollo cover . Here are some take-outs from their review:
"So what do we think of the Apollo? We love it. We only ever tell you about products we believe in and trust to own and use our selves. This is a premium motorcycle cover that will protect your bike!"
"One of the many features we like about the cover is that once you have it fitted on the bike, you can put your chain lock through the robust loops to secure the bike and the cover together. Could this be another form of safety device?"
"Once, the cover is buckled under the bike, you're done. The cover is fitted. And it looks awesome!"
You can read the full review here .

From the DNR
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) warns parents to caution their children to stay off ponds, streams and other water bodies that now have a thin coating of ice.
"Every season, people fall through ice they thought was safe," said Tim Smalley, DNR boat and water safety specialist. "It's especially tragic when these incidents involve children. A quarter of those who die by falling through the ice are nine years old or younger."
As of Nov. 18, no ice in Minnesota has been reported by DNR conservation officers as consistently four inches thick, the minimum thickness for walking.
Ice safety guidelines also recommend a minimum of five inches of new, clear ice for snowmobiles, and eight to 12 inches for automobiles.
Children are often sent outside to play during the holidays while meals are prepared and presents wrapped and they can stray onto unsafe ice.
"Many years, we receive reports of children falling through ice and drowning around the holidays," Smalley said. "Kids are attracted to ice like a magnet. They just don't know how much ice it takes to support a person, nor what is or isn't safe."
Smalley said children should not go out on the ice without adult supervision, even when conditions improve.
The DNR recommends contacting a local bait shop or resort at the destination lake to find out if ice is safe for the planned activities.
Winter sports enthusiasts can obtain a free packet of ice safety information by calling (651) 296-6157 in the Twin Cities area or toll-free 888-646-6367 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Computer users can view a short video on ice safety on the DNR's ice safety web page at www.mndnr.gov.

Migration report
From Avery Pro Staff
Name: Ben Cade
Date: November 16
Location: Buffalo
Weather: Daytime temps have been in the mid to upper 30s, with overnight lows around 20 degrees.
Snow Cover: Most has melted, but much of the area still has about an inch or two.
Water Conditions: Some of the smaller wetlands have frozen up, however all area lakes and rivers are still open and full.
Feeding Conditions: Nearly all of the area crops are out and there is not enough snow cover to bury food from the birds. Good food sources still exist for any waterfowl in the area.
Species and Numbers: We have a few good bunches of Canada geese in the area; however duck numbers are better off to the west. I have heard several good reports of bunches of mallards hitting area corn fields.
Migrations: There was a good push of birds with the weather system over the weekend. Mallards can be found in good bunches, but scouting is key.
Season Stage: Seventh week of our regular waterfowl season. Hunters are beginning to transition to late season waterfowl hunting.
Hunting Report: Hunting has been excellent for those who have been out scouting and getting on prime spots. A six man limit of greenheads was reported this morning as well as another feed of mallards and geese in the same area.
Gossip: Conditions are excellent for waterfowl hunting with the fresh snow cover.

$3.6 million awarded for state conservation projects
From the DNR
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced the award of $3.6 million in 35 grants through the Conservation Partners Legacy (CPL) grant program.
The CPL program was recommended by the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) to, and approved by the 2010 Minnesota Legislature.
Funding is from the Outdoor Heritage fund, part of the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Constitutional Amendment.
CPL grants are intended to restore, enhance, or protect fish, game and wildlife habitat in the state.
Local, state, and federal nonprofit organizations and governmental entities are eligible to apply for grants ranging from $5,000 to $400,000.
DNR received a total of 56 applications totaling $5.9 million during this year's CPL grant application period, with $4,210,560 available for grants.
A second round of applications for projects under $125,000 will be held to award the remaining $595,439.
In 2009, the first year of the program, 35 projects amounting to $3,740,000 were awarded.
Dave Schad, DNR Fish and Wildlife director, said CPL grants "help small conservation organizations complete on-the-ground habitat work and build their capacity to do more of these projects. It's a grass-roots effort that really helps advance conservation in Minnesota. These are all good projects with long-term benefits."
Funded projects include grassland restorations; wetlands, prairies, and northern forest acquisitions; and wetland and forest enhancements.
A complete list of the successful grant applications can be found at www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/habitat/cpl/index.html.
Roadsides for Wildlife kick-off event is Dec. 1
From the DNR
The importance of roadsides for wildlife habitat is the topic of a special event to be held at the Farmington Public Library from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 1.
The free event is sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).
Minnesota has more than 135,000 miles of roads.
"Maintaining roadsides is an important issue for all levels of government," said Carmelita Nelson, DNR Roadsides for Wildlife coordinator. "A healthy roadside environment provides greater erosion control, improves water quality, enhances groundwater recharge, reduces maintenance costs, is visually pleasing, and provides habitat for wildlife populations."
Guest speakers will outline the value of roadsides in the southern Metro area.
Nancy Braker, arboretum director, will discuss prairie restoration at Carleton College.
Clarence Lehman, associate dean of research and graduate education at the University of Minnesota, will discuss bioenergy harvesting to benefit wildlife.
The agenda includes other topics and speakers, a panel discussion and legislative updates.
Representatives from local and state government, conservation and sportsmen's groups, media and private citizens will be in attendance at the workshop.
The Roadsides for Wildlife program promotes vegetation management practices that enhance wildlife habitat and environmental benefits on roadsides, according to Nelson.
Leaving roadsides undisturbed, especially during the spring and early summer nesting season, can boost grassland bird nesting success.
"The adjacent roadside lands are important for they can provide permanent grassland habitat for birds, small animals, and other types of nature, including butterflies, frogs, and flowers," Nelson said.
Directions to the Farmington Public Library are: From I-35, County Rd. 23 (Cedar Ave.), County Rd. 31 (Pilot Knob Rd.), Highway 3 or U.S. Highway 52, take County Road 50 into downtown Farmington. Go south onto Third St. for two blocks. Turn right into the library parking lot.
Those planning to attend are asked to call (651) 259-5014 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nominees sought for 18th annual MN Deer Hunter Ethics Award
From the DNR
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Deer Hunters Association (MDHA) and Turn In Poachers (TIP) are asking hunters to share stories of exemplary hunting behavior by nominating hunters for the 18th Annual Minnesota Deer Hunter Ethics Award.
The award will honor a deer hunter who has exhibited conduct during the 2010 season that can serve as a positive example to all hunters.
Awards for youth and adult divisions will be presented to the selected recipients at an upcoming MDHA event held in their vicinity.
"MDHA is pleased to again co-sponsor this award along with TIP and the DNR," said MDHA Executive Director Mark Johnson. "This is an important award that highlights the ethical behavior of our deer hunters and singles out the types of ethical hunters we hope all hunters aspire to be: hunters who care about our hunting heritage, care about fairness and care about the image we as hunters portray."
Patsy Bernhjelm, TIP Board president, added that it recognizes hunters who go the extra mile. "This award encourages ethics above and beyond legal hunting and TIP is proud to be a part of it again this year."
Anyone may nominate a hunter by writing a letter or e-mail explaining the actions of the nominee and why that person is worthy of this recognition.
Both youth and adults are eligible, but nominees must be Minnesota residents.
The incidents for which hunters are nominated must have occurred during any of the 2010 Minnesota deer hunting seasons (archery, firearm or muzzleloader).
"We want to hear about deer hunters who have gone out of their way or beyond normal courtesy for others," said Johnson. "This isn't about not filling a doe tag or not taking a marginal shot. It is about hunters who show genuine concern for others, and the sport of deer hunting, through their thoughtfulness and actions."
Nominations will be accepted for the Minnesota Deer Hunter's Ethics Award until Friday, Jan. 21.
Nomination letters should be sent to Ethical Hunter Award, MDHA, 460 Peterson Road, Grand Rapids, MN 55744-8413, or faxed to (218) 327-1349, or e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com
More information is available on MDHA's Web site at www.mndeerhunters.com.
Lake Maria State Park closed Dec. 4-6
News release
Lake Maria State Park will be closed to the public Saturday, Dec. 4 through Monday, Dec. 6 due to a special-permit hunt to better manage the deer population within park boundaries.
According to Park Manager Mark Crawford, all park facilities will be closed during these dates, and the entrance will be blocked.
The park will re-open Tuesday, December 7.
"The objective of the hunt is to reduce deer density to an acceptable level to minimize damage to park vegetation and decrease intrusion on adjacent cropland, orchards and gardens," says Crawford. "Mild winters and less hunting pressure outside the park has led to a larger than normal herd. In addition, the hunt will serve as an evaluation of alternative strategies to control deer population."
Only muzzle-loading firearms will be used in the hunt, and 25 special permits were issued to highly skilled hunters last September.
For more information, call the park at (763) 878-2325 or visit its web site at www.mnstateparks.info.
Question of the week
From the DNR
Q: Now is the time of year when most property owners are considering pruning their trees.
However removing unwanted branches improperly and at the wrong time of the year can stress and damage the tree.
When and how should trees be trimmed?
A: The best time of the year to prune your trees is in the fall after the leaves have fallen from the tree.
Most of the energy that the tree has produced over the year has been sent down to the roots for storage, so removal of unwanted branches will have a lesser impact on the health of the tree.
When removing a branch, you want to make sure that you don't cut into the branch collar of the tree (tissues where the branch meets the trunk), and don't remove more than one-third of the live crown of the tree.
The USDA Forest Service has a pamphlet that describes proper pruning techniques.
It is available on their website at http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/howtos/ht_prune/prun001.htm.

When people are under pressure they often retreat into what they think they know, and what makes them feel safe. The global economic crisis, triggered by the banks and the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, threatened to bring down the whole global economy and capitalist order. The response, lead by politicians in the UK, including Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling, was to use the power of the state to preserve the status quo. Losses were nationalised and profits remained in Wall Street and the City as taxpayers were required to bail out the private sector banking system. The aim was to restore "business as usual", as if nothing had ever happened.
Since the 2010 general election in the UK, David Cameron and George Osborne, have continued to use the British state to maintain "business a usual", playing the class war card and ensuring that corporations and the rich continue to be shielded by making the rest of us pay to reduce the structural deficit and prop up the banks. As long as the 'markets' and bondholders are safe, the rest of us can go hang. The recent budget provided ample evidence of this with the top rate of tax being reduced to 45% and Osborne later claiming that, even though he is a millionaire, that he didn't know that wealthy people pay lower taxes overall than the rest of us.
But its not just the ongoing economic crisis that we should be concerned about, we are facing a crisis of resource depletion and climate change. Far from being a sign of strength as, Cameron, Osborne, Brown and Darling have claimed, in 'protecting' 'our' economy they have shown weakness. Brown and Darling could have taken the opportunity of the crash to bring the banks under control, Cameron and Osborne could have taken the opportunity of election victory to re-engineer our economy to deal with the very real challenges we face. They all failed. The same mistakes have been reproduced by Sarkozy and Merkel in the EU, making the Eurozone crisis even worse, something which the economist Joseph Stiglitz has recently described as a "suicide pact".
What we need now is politicians like Caroline Lucas who have the courage to cast aside the failed 'free' market neoliberal ideology of business as usual and build an economy which can deal with the very real challenges which we face. Sadly, there is no hope of this happening with this government, Cameron and Osborne will continue to protect the interests of their class, and fiddle while Rome burns, but lets be clear - what they offer us, apart from years of hardship is, for all the posturing, not strength, but weakness in the face of adversity.

After I had come back from spring break, I received the letters from the eight colleges I had applied for. Six of themRPI, WPI, Willamette, Lehigh, Johns Hopkins, and Case Western Reserveaccepted me, one of themCarnegie Mellon put me on its waiting list, and the other oneRicerejected me. I had about two months to do research about these six colleges in order to make the decision on which one of them I should choose. I tried to determine which of them matched my interests. The first month I eliminated four of them out of my choice. Therefore, after the first month, I had to choose between Johns Hopkins and Case Western Reserve. It was a difficult decision because being in a university which did not match me might affect the happiness of my future. I would be studying at one of them for about four years. I wanted to have the college that best fit me because I did not want to transfer later if I found out that I did not like it. I ignored the fact that Johns Hopkins had more worldwide reputation than CWRU because it was not one of my requirements. Therefore, I researched a lot of information about both of them from many different sources in order to find the facts I needed to know. After careful consideration, I decided to choose CWRU as the university that I would attend.
The first reason I chose Case over Johns Hopkins was because the difference in cost. I received a scholarship from the Thai government which gave all the tuition and also monthly payment to pay for room and board. The money left over was mine to keep. Johns Hopkins room and board was more expensive than Cases. After I calculated the remaining money of both of them, I found that I would have only $240 a month if I studied at Johns Hopkins, but about $560 if I chose CWRU. That meant I would have a lot more money to spend if I studied at CWRU. This factor was influential to me because I would be happy to study when I had money in my pocket. I grew up from a moderate family. I used to have only about $7 a month from my parents to spend when I was in high school. I also knew the feeling of having little money when I was in my US high school. I could not go out with my friends during weekends because I did not have money. When I wanted a study break after working hard by either watching movies or shopping, I could not fully enjoy myself because I had to worry about the money. I had to always be aware about my money so I would not spend all of it before getting the next months payment. I rarely had a chance to relax from studying even though I felt really stressed out from studying. I found that less money made my study life unhappy and difficult. Therefore, when I had a chance to choose my future life, I unhesitatingly chose to go to CWRU.
While I was making my decision, my friend who was also accepted to CWRU was influential on me. He was considering to go to Case also. At that time I had the feeling that if I had a friend to go with me I would be happy. The feeling of loneliness came from the depressing feelings I used to have when I was alone in the US high school. When I was upset and had problems, I wanted to have a friend whom I relied on to console. When I was happy and wanted to relax, I wanted to have a friend whom I felt happy to go out with. However, I could not find anyone. These periods of time were horrible to me. I was homesick, lonely, and upset. I had a hard time concentrating on studying. I considered this reason and found that a good friend would help relieve me from these horrible feelings. I would have someone listen to me when I had problems. He would also be a friend to go out with and make me happy. That would encourage me to study well because my mental condition was good. Therefore, when I had a chance to choose the university I would go to study, I strongly considered the one that I could go to with my friend.
Another important issue that I considered was the size of the university. I liked to be in a small college like CWRU. I knew that I would have opportunities to take advantage of in a small university. When I was young, I was very fat and lazy. I hated to walk a long distance. This habit was still with me even though right now I am thinner and more active. I did not like to be in a university that I had to walk, ride a bike, or take a bus for a long distance to get to classes. Particularly, in the winter, I hated to struggle under snow storms for a long time. Case remedied this problem because it is a small college in which most of the classrooms are located close to one another. I would not have a tremendously long walk under cold weather.
In a small university, I would also have chances to meet and get to know the professors. I researched CWRUs ratio of professors to students in my department, materials science and engineering, and found that it was only 1 professor to 3 students. Every professor had his own research and projects to do all year. That means I would definitely have at least a professor to do research with. I also found that there was an open door policy which allow students to go into a professors office anytime if they had problems. I could not find anything like this at any of the other colleges I was considering. The open door policy gave Case a good advantage over the other colleges I was choosing from because I wanted to have opportunities to do research and projects with the professors. There were also less students to compete with which would give me more chances to take advantage of many programs offered by Case. The small size of CWRU was one of the contributing factors in why I chose Case.
The most important reason I found which made me more certain to choose Case Western Reserve University was NASA. Case was the only one college I was choosing from that had NASA located nearby. The best part was that CWRU participated in joint programs with NASA. When I was young, I admired NASA. I loved to discover about mysterious things that people did not know. Space was one of them that I was interested in. I liked to watch the news about the new discoveries in space. Most of the time when I watched television, I would see the USA flag and the logo of NASA. In my opinion, to go into space was the most challenging and intelligent thing. I admired and honored persons who worked with NASA. I used to have a dream that I was the best engineer in the world and was given a chance to work for NASA. That was only a dream when I was young. I never thought that I would have a chance to make it come true in my life. However, when I found that CWRU had joint programs and research with NASA, this information sparked my hope. I knew that I would be close to my dream. I researched more about the cooperation of NASA and CWRU and found that it was possible for me to get involved with NASA. There were professors from CWRU who were doing research with NASA. Professor David Matthiesen, for example, did research about diffusional transport in microgravity with NASA. He had a chance to go into space to do some experiments too. In a CWRU brochure, it also said that, "When the space shuttle Atlantis rocketed into orbit the last summer, a box from CWRU went along with the ride." This showed that Case was involved in programs done by NASA. CWRU and NASA were members of the Center for Materials for Space Structures (CMSS). The center created materials that were capable of withstanding the harsh space environment. Faculty and students from Case were an important part of that center. Another opportunity that Case provided was that they would also offer me co-op programs which allowed me to work during academic years with NASA. The NASA Lewis research center would also offered me internship during the summer. When I thought about the opportunities to participate with NASA, I was happy and hopeful. My dream would definitely come true. So I did not hesitate to decide to reply to CWRU.
The factors I used to consider each college that accepted me seemed to match what CWRU offered. I wanted to have a happy life when I studied. I knew I would do well with my studying if I had good mental condition. Right now, I am studying at CWRU. I have found that all of the reasons for choosing CWRU were right. I am happy. I am not tense from studying because I could go to relax on weekends with my good friend. I have enough money to spend on shopping and watching movies. I am not lonely or homesick because I have my close friend with me all the time. I do not walk for a long way to my classes because they are located close to one another. Moreover, I am planning with the chairman of my department to do internship with NASA next summer. I am sure that I have made the right decision to come to Case, and fulfill my dreams.

Luton and Dunstable Squash Club member Natalie Main took part in the final leg of the Mega series of England Squash events at the weekend.
The series takes the form of five one-day tournaments across the region, with the top two players in the series winning a trip to the prestigious Canary Wharf in March.
There the players are coached by squash legend Peter Nicol on the all glass show court and then get to watch the professionals in action during the evening.
The final leg took place in Ipswich and 10-year-old Main was well placed to grab one of the two spots up for grabs having won two legs and been runner-up in another.
With her main competitor Ella Tunon from Kent holding an identical record and with both having missed one leg, Rebecca Woolf from Essex could have spoiled the party having come third or higher in all the other legs, and having beaten Main in the Cambridgeshire leg.
The draw could not have been kinder to Main who won her first three matches to take her place in the final and all but guarantee a top-two finish. Results in the other half of the draw saw Tunon beat Woolf with relative ease to set up a fitting climax to the event.
The first game in the best of three final was as tight as all had expected with both players playing great squash and trading points evenly and ended up in a tense tie-break, where Main passed up four game balls before finally prevailing 14-12.
The second started in the same fashion, however, the physical impact of the first had clearly taken its toll on the Kent youngster as her movement slowed and Main took advantage as the game wore on and she raced to a 10-4 lead.
However, championship ball is always the most difficult and Main clearly felt the nerves as she tensed up and gave away two easy points.
She was not to be denied though as a lung bursting rally ended in bizarre fashion as Main reached a shot which looked impossible to triumph.

European tour 2011
From May 21 to June 9, I had a three-week tour in Switzerland and Berlin. I was fortunate to have some generous and talented collaborators (including old friends and total strangers), and some excellent audiences in terms of both numbers and attention.
I started off in Switzerland with three performances with a first-time ever quartet comprised of Urs Leimgruber, Jacques Demierre, Vincent Barras, and me. We had three performances in Luzern, Geneva, and Vevey. Sandra joined me in Francophone Switzerland for a few days, one highlight being our boat ride from Lausanne to Vevey sipping espresso on the lake while gliding past beautiful vineyards. After a few days of rest, museum-going (tip: Konrad Witz's two 1444 paintings at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire!), and cooking in Geneva, I headed to Zurich for a duo with Christian Bucher. He and I then went to Baar, joined by Hans-Peter Pfammatter, Barb Wagner, and Pelayo Arrizabalaga. And then to Luzern's wonderful Musikforum for a CD release gig celebrating a new trio CD: Well Fed featuring Christian, Hans-Peter, and me (out now, a limited edition of 100, send me an email if you're interested!).
Next was a very pleasant 8-hour train ride from Luzern to Berlin for four very different performances in a week. First a quintet plus two dancers: Michael Vorfeld, Michael Thieke, Ute Wassermann, Olivier Toulemonde and me with dancers Arthur Staedli and Lena Meierkord. Next was a solo performance at the Certain Sundays series, where I premiered three new text pieces based on my current explorations of the suffix "ology" and subtraction, as well as two pieces from my Usi scrutati series. I then spent a day working with Alessandro Bosetti on two new text pieces for a festival in Ptuj, Slovenia. Once again, some rest, museums (tip: the Gemäldegalerie's Dutch still lifes, two Vermeers, two Bronzinos, etc.!), and more cooking (dinner for 8 at Casa Vorfeld-Heise). Then I had a duo performance with Alessandro, and finished the tour with a trio comprised of Michael Vorfeld, Chris Heenan, and me.
Thanks to everyone who performed with me, set up the gigs, provided the venues and funding, let me stay in their homes, and came to listen!

The Walking Dead slipped to Number 2 in the Cable Top 25, behind ESPN's Monday Night Football airing from last week, but it was still the top rated non-sports airing in the 18-49 demographic. Agents of SHIELD was the only genre entry that made it into the Broadcast Network Top 25 based on 18-49 viewing, but Sleepy Hollow was a repeat last week and was preempted this week. Expect that one to find its way back in when it returns on Monday. Person of Interest actually topped The Walking Dead in total viewers as did several other CBS shows, but it is that 18-49 demo that advertisers focus on, and that's where TWD continues to trounce on both the cable and broadcast channels. Revolution managed to sneak back into the broadcast net Top 25 DVR gains based on ratings and it ended with a 2.5 score. That's a pretty empty victory, though, seeing how it is performing in the overnights and has lost its social network presence as well. Here are the numbers:

I am the oldest of five and the mother of one. For those of you not familiar with the Number of Siblings to Children Ratio Theory, it basically means that everything I couldn't have as a kid (because my father would have had to buy or do the same for each sister after me) I do for Buttercup. Pre-school is a perfect example, so I wanted to commemorate the event with a little gift. So I bought a balloon that said, "You are so special to me!" And I presented it to her in class.
Buttercup smiled and tightly held on to the balloon as we walked to the minivan. I tried getting her to tell me about her day, but she kept saying she had to make a wish. I honestly had no idea what she was talking about.
It wasn't until we got to my van that Buttercup looked up, let go, and wished on her balloon.
As it floated into the clouds, I vaguely remembered her cousin coming to visit. We had gone to a grocery store where they give the kids a free balloon in the checkout and Buttercup lost hers on the way to the car. To calm her down, my nephew told her not to be sad because you could make a wish on a balloon. So she did. And she remembered.
"What did you wish for, baby?" I asked as the heart-shaped balloon floated out of view.
She turned to me and smiled.
"I wished for happiness, Mama."

Board of Directors
New Mexico Art LeagueArt School ∙ Gallery
DAN CONKLIN, Treasurer
Dan grew up in Albuquerque, but career opportunities ultimately drew him to the "big city". He has been an inveterate doodler and drawer from an early age, and over time attempted to smooth the rough edges with studio courses in sculpture, ceramics and acrylic painting at Vanderbilt, UCLA and the Art Student's League in NYC. After living and working in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Hong Kong and Shanghai, he returned to the Land of Green Chile and picked up his art studies in early 2012 with an acrylic workshop taught by Angus Macpherson. He amazed everyone with the fact that his paints from his UCLA days were still good (except for the Titanium White, which had the consistency of cottage cheese). Later that year, he attended a demo at the NM Art League given by "Local Treasure" J. Waid Griffin. Landscape in Oil courses with Waid soon followed. With momentum building, Dan became arguably the Art League's best customer with further landscape classes taught by Tom Blazier and Jeff Otis. His focus broadened to portrait and the figure, which gave him the pleasure of paint and drawing under the guidance of Cynthia Rowland, MJ Manford, Shana Levinson and Leo Neufeld. He has been most inspired by Cynthia Rowland, though her deep and contagious love of art and superb instruction. Recognizing the need to keep honing the basic skills of making art, Dan has most recently benefitted from the lively and fundamentals-focused teaching of Vasili Katakis. His perspectives classes are not to be missed.
BRIGID CONKLIN, Assistant Treasurer
Brigid grew up in the Chicago area surrounded by art. Before she was school age, she accompanied her mother on the local art league's plein air outings and no family visit to Chicago was complete without a trip to the Art Institute. While she has always loved art, she had had no art instruction since she was a girl until she enrolled in a beginning drawing class at the New Mexico Art League in 2013. She has taken classes at the Art League ever since. Brigid has a background in corporate banking and has served on advisory committees for a charity and for an international school while living in Shanghai, China. She is a member of the Pastel Society of New Mexico and is excited to be involved with the Art League.

Hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer, the founder of $34 billion Elliott Management, doesn't think the financial system in the U.S. is safer than before the financial crisis.
"I'm very concerned about where we are in terms of the financial system, the economy, the American economy, the global economy," Singer said at the Bloomberg Invest Summit.
He went on to slam the last 9 years of monetary policy or what he regards as "monetary extremism." In his view, quantitative easing and near-zero interest rates combined with "growth suppressant fiscal policies," regulatory and tax, have made for unnatural economic growth.
"I think it's created a distorted recovery that's been partially responsible for this augmentation, exacerbation of inequality," Singer said. "A combination of that and an incomplete recovery — has caused this middle class stress and edginess around the world, which has led to some fringe parties, fringe thoughts, populism."
He added that the last 9 years has created an "artificial levitation" of financial assets such as high-end real estate and art, a.k.a. "things rich people buy."
"I think what we have today is a global financial system that is just about as leveraged and in many cases more leveraged than before 2008," Singer said. "I don't think the financial system is more sound. I don't think the fixes that have been put into place have actually created a sound system."
He doesn't believe the confidence is justified in policymakers and in central bankers.
"And the fact confidence has not been lost up to now is obvious, but if and when confidence is lost, I think it could be lost in a very abrupt fashion, causing conceivably a raucous in bond markets, stock markets."
Singer noted that he doesn't let these sorts of views affect his desire to be hedged all the time. While he's concerned about the state of things, he's not betting that a downturn is imminent. He told the audience he never makes massive bets on the timing of bear markets.

Ten Songs From 1967 That Shaped Prog Rock
If 1967 characterizes a high point in rock music, it also initiated an explicit realignment of what was possible in the genre -- for better or worse.
For the second installment of my column "The Amazing Pudding", I appraised 1967 as the pivotal year in rock music. As the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band proved/signified, nothing was ever the same once pop music could be considered a legitimate form of artistic expression, worthy of serious scrutiny. If 1967 characterizes a high point (famously, if a bit unfairly exemplified solely by Sgt. Pepper), it also initiated an explicit realignment of what was possible in rock music -- for better or worse.
Here are ten songs, some quite familiar, others a bit more obscure, that served as transitional statements, signifying the new directions rock music would head toward for the next decade.
What has tended to get lost or forgotten in the shuffle of sensationalistic trivia (of the infamously aborted SMiLE sessions) is that Brian Wilson did not go down without a hell of a fight. He may not even have gone down at all so much as he was forced down, which makes the proceedings Tragic with a capital T. There can be no doubt that a primary instigating factor in Wilson's meltdown was his utter lack of guile. Remember, the Beach Boys were square. Wilson forced them, through a combination of will and his own curious brand of genius, to be successful. They were always more than a little corny, and that formula worked on the clean-cut, if innocuous early singles. SMiLE illustrates the struggle of a naïve but proficient artist chasing the white whale inside his own head. He was making it up as he went along and just about nobody was along for the ride. Much of this can be more easily understood by hearing the numerous takes of the eventual tour de force "Heroes and Villains". He knew what he was after, and he convinced, cajoled, and begged his compatriots to cross the finish line. The results more than validate his obsessive effort: the song is masterful, complex but accessible, intense but assured, the fully realized vision of a unique talent.
If not the Doors' best song, it's definitely among their most cherished and controversial. "The End" is the Doors' "Stairway to Heaven", the song that is the Dead Sea Scrolls for adolescent seekers: it entices and disorients not unlike the narcotic, agitating effect that Edgar Allan Poe's stories initially have on young readers. Jim Morrison's stream of consciousness Götterdämmerung will incite debates until the sacred cows come home, but there can be no quarrel with the music. Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger do some of their finest—if understated—work here, but it is John Densmore's passive-aggressive percussion that represents (certainly at the time of its recording) an apotheosis of sorts. It is scarcely conceivable how many psychedelic adventures this song has provided a soundtrack for, which is entirely appropriate considering that, according to legend, Morrison laid down his vocals (in two takes) while reeling from a particularly intense acid trip. Whatever else it may signify, "The End" is an ideal, inevitable coda, and one of the best closing songs on one of the very best rock albums.
Strings! Poetry! Pretension! All of the above, and above all, the glorious vocals from Justin Hayward. There is such a uniquely British sensibility to this, something that still sounds like it should be heard over the radio. The Moody Blues would come to epitomize some of the worst excesses of the prog era (mellotron overload, mediocre poetry recitations on each album, a preciousness at times rivaled by an overbearing strain for profundity) but at their best -- and for my money, there are at least one or two essential songs on each subsequent album -- they pushed rock music in a more positive, enduring direction.
This, like so many other classics of its era, has been overplayed on radio and overused in movies to the point where it's lost much of its import. But it must be acknowledged for what it is: a brilliant, brooding masterwork of mood and economy. (The epic drum fills were game-changing.) And between the Bach references and the Chaucher name-checks, this has many ingredients that future prog-rockers would utilize, sometimes to excess.
"The Red Telephone", which ends side one of Forever Changes, is the album's centerpiece; its brooding, apocalyptic imagery captures that three-month moment of 1967, while remaining possibly more applicable to the here and now: "They're locking them up today; they're throwing away the key / I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me?" Those creepy chanted lines were prophetic when you consider that Arthur Lee, who lived to be neither wealthy nor white, ended up imprisoned in the mid-1990s as a result of his own recklessness as well as California's controversial three-strikes laws. The lyrics anticipate the aftermath awaiting Timothy Leary's disciples, those that ingested and distributed the chemical vehicles to Valhalla, who would end up pulling harder time than our white-collar charlatans face for fleecing employees and the country out of millions of dollars. The lines are also a commentary on Americans acting un-American, looking back to the internments of Japanese citizens and forecasting the so-called enemy combatants rotting behind bars without formal charges or legal counsel. I read the news today, oh boy. As Lee sings in the same song, "Sometimes I deal with numbers / And if you want to count me: count me out."

This Ain't Your Daddy's Markman Hearing – What deference should Ct of Appeals give to U.S.District Court?
James Day and Andy Nguyen, The Recorder
March 18, 2015 | 0 Comments
The U.S. Supreme Court in January issued its opinion in Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Sandoz,13-854, which changed the level of deference the Federal Circuit must show to district court claim construction orders—in part.
For more than two decades, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has reviewed claim construction on a de novo basis; in other words, as a pure question of law without showing any deference to the district court. The de novo review standard resulted in a high rate of reversal by the Federal Circuit in claim construction decisions. This caused uncertainty, and the existing standard had been under attack even before being explicitly confirmed in Cybor Corp. v. FAS Technologies, 138 F.3d 1448 (1998).
The New Criteria
With the issuance of the Teva decision, the Supreme Court has changed that standard. The Federal Circuit must now review factual findings underlying a claim construction order for clear error, giving deference to district court judges, though the Federal Circuit will still review the interpretation of patent claim terms itself de novo even if that interpretation is based on the underlying findings of fact. Whether or not the new standard brings more predictability to patent litigation or changes the reversal rate of the Federal Circuit, one thing seems likely: We will be seeing more expert testimony—and the associated expense—in claim construction proceedings than we did under the old standard.
It will be even more critical now for litigants to retain and work with experienced patent litigation counsel to select highly qualified experts who not only have the right credentials and experience to opine on claim construction-specific issues, but who can also clearly and persuasively testify, if permitted, before a district court judge. It will also generally be in the patent owner's interest to develop a factual record in the district court to make an appeal of those findings less likely to be successful under the clear error standard.
What the Supreme Court Changed
Since the decision in Markman v. Westview Instruments, 517 U.S. 370 (1996), federal district courts have been tasked with interpreting the meaning of terms in patent claims. Until now, those district court claim construction opinions were reviewed de novo by the Federal Circuit. The standard applied to claim constructions based exclusively on the intrinsic evidence, like the patent at issue and its prosecution history. It also applied to any factual conclusions drawn from extrinsic evidence, like expert testimony and dictionary definitions. Under this non-deferential standard, the Federal Circuit has reversed an unusually high percentage of the claim construction orders it has reviewed—sometimes estimated at 50 percent or more.
In the closely watched Teva Pharmaceuticals case, the Supreme Court was asked to change the standard of review to require the Federal Circuit to show deference to factual findings of the district courts. And it did. In a 7-2 decision, the court held that factual findings underpinning a claim construction must be reviewed for "clear error" on appeal.
In other words, the appellate court should accept factual findings of the district courts, unless the appellate court finds they are unsupported by substantial evidence.
How 'Teva' will Impact Patent Litigation
It is too soon to tell if the Supreme Court's ruling will have any impact on the outcome of more than a few cases that turn on disputed expert testimony. As the Supreme Court confirmed in Teva, "When the district court reviews only evidence intrinsic to the patent (the patent claims and specifications, along with the patent's prosecution history), the judge's determination will amount solely to a determination of law, and the Court of Appeals will review that construction de novo."
In other cases, where there are "subsidiary facts" in dispute, the district courts "will need to make subsidiary factual findings" based on the extrinsic evidence. It is "this subsidiary fact-finding [that] must be reviewed for clear error on appeal." But even in cases where the district court resolves factual disputes, the judge "will then interpret the patent claim in light of the facts as he has found them," and this "ultimate interpretation is a legal conclusion" subject to de novo review.
There is ample room in the new standard for the Federal Circuit to review most claim construction decisions largely, if not entirely, under the same de novo standard that has applied for years.
Whether or not the Teva decision will have any real impact at the appellate court level, it is likely to change the way litigants present their claim construction arguments and the way district court judges support their claim construction orders. Under the old standard, there was limited benefit to making a strong presentation of extrinsic evidence because even if it was convincing, any factual findings the district judge might make would be reviewed de novo by the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit takes the view that extrinsic evidence is "less significant" than the intrinsic record. Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F. 3d 1303 (2005).
In light of Teva, a claim construction order based solely on intrinsic evidence will be more easily reversed than a decision with specific factual underpinnings. Litigants are now incentivized to submit more extrinsic evidence, even in cases where they would not have under the old standard, and hope the district judge will use it to craft a favorable opinion with plenty of citations to underlying facts that must be reviewed with deference by the appellate court. There is a greater prospect for each claim construction dispute to become a "battle of the experts," and there is at least the potential for other extrinsic evidence, like dictionary definitions, to take on greater importance.
All of this will likely lead to more frequent and more involved evidentiary hearings in connection with claim construction proceedings. Indeed, while live expert testimony is uncommon in claim construction proceedings under the old standard, the Teva decision makes live testimony more likely so the district judge can weigh competing evidence, assess credibility and make specific factual findings. Going forward, patent litigants should focus more energy on retaining experts who are qualified to offer testimony in support of specific claim construction positions but who are also effective, credible witnesses.
Why the Supreme Court Changed the Standard
The Teva case presents a situation where disputed extrinsic evidence proved to be dispositive, making it an example of a case where the change in standard may well alter the ultimate result. The main dispute in Teva concerned the meaning of the term "molecular weight" as it appeared in Teva Pharmaceutical's asserted patent claim.
Sandoz, the defendant, argued the claim was indefinite because the term "molecular weight," as used in the patent claim, could refer to any one of three different potential measures of molecular weight. The parties presented competing expert testimony on this point, and the district court accepted the testimony of Teva's, finding the patent sufficiently definite and valid. On appeal, the Federal Circuit conducted de novo review of the lower court's decision. It implicitly rejected Teva's expert testimony, finding the term "molecular weight" indefinite.
The Supreme Court vacated the Federal Circuit's judgment based primarily on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 52(a)(6), which states a court of appeals "must not … set aside" a district court's "[f]indings of fact" unless they are "clearly erroneous." Continuing a theme that has developed over the past decade, the court decided there is no reason patents should be treated differently than other legal documents like contracts and deeds, indicating that, in general, patent law is not exempted from the basic procedures established for all other civil litigation.
According to the Supreme Court, Rule 52 sets out a "clear command." And, although it ruled in Markman that claim construction poses a question of law for a judge, that did not imply or create an exception to Rule 52 regarding underlying factual disputes. The court also determined that precedent and practical considerations favored clear error review.

A few days ago we noted that Allen Raymond, the guy at the center of the New Hampshire phone-jamming mini-scandal from election 2002, had finally copped a plea in U.S. District Court in Concord.
State Democrats have been pressing for prosecutors to pursue the investigation beyond Raymond, who was paid to do the deed, to the higher-ups who hired him.
The offer of proof in the court documents from Raymond's appearance on June 30th provides several clues. But one that caught my eye is found in this passage.
Here, prosecutor Todd Hinnen tells the court that had Raymond chosen to go to trial, the government would have been able to prove that "in late October 2002, the defendant, Allen Raymond, then the president of Virginia-based political consulting company GOP Marketplace, LLC, received a call from a former colleague who was then an official in a national political organization. The official indicated that he had been approached by an employee of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee with an idea that might give New Hampshire Republican candidates an edge over New Hampshire democratic (sic) candidates in the upcoming election."
Raymond, according to Hinnen's statement to the court, said that he thought the phone jamming scheme this unnamed official went on to describe was doable. And the unnamed official then told him to expect a call from the person at the state GOP.
So who is this unnamed "official in a national political organization" and just what national political organization was this person with?
I assume it wasn't the DNC, right? DSCC? Nah …

Your "right to complain" and participate as part of civil society is most certainly not handed out as a prize for voting. There are more meaningful ways that you can contribute to the world than by sticking a piece of paper in a cardboard box once every few years.
If you want to vote, vote well. If you don't think you can vote well with the time you have available today, it's ok! There are a lot of ways that you can make the world a better place. Today isn't your only chance.
How to vote well:
If you're going to vote, you should do it responsibly. Reading the platforms written by the advertisers for each party is not informing yourself. You should, at a minimum, have read some basic economics. Understood the trade-offs that each policy stand that you take are likely to have, and decided that those trade-offs *are worth it* - not that they don't matter or don't exist. You should try to identify your own cognitive biases and do your best to overcome them before making a decision. You need to be comfortable with the idea that any policy that you're approving for your own benefit can be used by someone you disagree with in the future.
The idea that everybody ought to vote comes from the idea that so long as enough of us vote, we cancel out each others' mistakes and come up with the best solution. But if voters don't overcome their policy misconceptions, the more people vote, the more wrong the outcome will be.

Before asking me a question on the bulletin boards or in the guestbook, please read through the FAQ because I bet you'll find your answer here! If you still can't, then feel free to post the question! Thank you!
1. Can I use your pictures?
YES! Save them to your computer or website, then you can use them on your webpage, print them out and decorate your room with them, whatever! Just don't link to my pictures using my site, that is called stealing bandwidth and is bad! =)
2. Where did you get your pictures?
I got all the pictures you see here from other websites at one point or another. I have links to most of those sites, and if the link is not here, then I don't know where the picture came from. All the pictures in the Jem shrine were given to me by a very cool girl on the RB2 mailing list (THANK YOU HUN!), but all the others I found on my own.
3. Can you add pictures of such and such cartoon?
I am trying to add different cartoons as much as possible, but I just don't have the time to devote to this site. I am updating it whenever I can, and I plan on adding a couple more shrines soon, but PLEASE don't send me specific requests for cartoons through email. If you want to find pictures of your cartoons, use a search engine and type the cartoon's name in, I'm sure you'll find something out there. I can't be looking up cartoons for everyone, I just don't have time. However, feel free to request specific cartoons that you want to see, when I add more I will take people's suggestions into consideration.
4. Do you remember such and such cartoon? Can you send me pictures of it?
While I may or may not remember your favorite cartoon, if the pictures aren't on my site right now, I don't have any pictures of it. You are better off going and looking online for yourself to find pictures of those cartoons. All the pictures I have are here, so if you don't see what you want, keep looking! I bet another site will have just what you want! Good luck!
5. Who owns the copyright to such and such cartoon?
Honestly, I don't know. Mattel and Hallmark own a lot of the copyrights, for example Rainbow Brite is owned by Hallmark. As far as the others, all I know is that I don't own them myself! For some legal coverage: I don't own these copyrights, I don't THINK I own them, and this page is making me absolutely NO money. This is simply a fan page meant to help other fans find pictures. If you want to tell me to stop, I will, but I hope you don't have to do that!
6. Where can I find more pictures/info?
Check out the links from each shrine page. Alternately, use a couple of different search engines and look that way. You can also try joining a mailing list for 80's cartoons; if you go to Yahoo!Groups, you'll see that there are tons of fan mailing lists out there. They can give you more specific information.
7. Where can I buy tapes/toys/etc? Do you have any to sell?
Check out eBay for old toys and tapes. There are also tons of online dealers that specialize in old toys and such, use a search engine to find them. If you join an 80's mailing list, fans often trade tapes and sell stuff to eachother, so that is often a good place to look. Other than this, I have no more information about buying stuff, and no, I don't have anything for sale. Good luck on your search!

CASTLETON, Vt. – After being named to the D3hockey.com All-East Region First Team last week, Castleton women's hockey goaltender Jess Cameron has been named D3hockey.com First Team All-America, as announced on Thursday afternoon.

Thinly-veiled propaganda is often confused with actual journalism.
Those who frenzied us to one president's Iraq invasion told us that questioning that war was despicable and unpatriotic. Television newsmen told us to hate and ridicule anyone reluctant to go to war. We were told the presidency was sacred; that real Americans should shut up and do as they're told.
Then, they scolded another president when he asked Congress for military support for women and children whose government attacked them in Syria. They told us combat was simply illogical when it meant protecting the innocent. We took that as news.
They told us to be angry about dropping supplies to refugees who'd been chased from their homes by ISIS militants and left to die atop a mountain.
We supported one war for fear of weapons of mass destruction that were never found. A president marched young people to war without Congress's approval. We cheered him.
Then we saw chemical weapons used against innocent civilians and we turned away. We pouted that our president even considered asking Congress to help those people.
After months of berating a president for not protecting one embassy enough, he sent soldiers to keep ISIS troops from overtaking another and we stomped our feet like angry children. We let soft-handed pundits who haven't left the safety of their desks in decades tell us that another war would be deplorable.
Now we've watched in horror as two of our countrymen were murdered by masked cowards and our puppeteers in their news studios tell us to shame our president for not acting strongly or swiftly enough against ISIS. They criticize an administration for failing a pre-emptive annihilation of a group that's only been operating in force since June.
We tune in daily to be told how to feel. For lack of critical thinking, we're told that all heartache, instability and bloodshed we see stems from the current administration. We're told that anyone who doesn't think the same is at the root of all of our problems and that everyone unlike us is destroying our nation.
We're told these terrible things and we seethe with anger. We're turned against each other by men who irresponsibly call themselves journalists, disseminating a propaganda that they've cleverly and purposefully mislabeled as news so that when they manipulate us we might mistake what we hear and see as actual information.
These are not real journalists. They rely upon deceit and warn us that everyone else is lying to us.
They prey upon us to sell books and advertising, manufacturing hatred to further their personal interests. We keep tuning in to let them. We're tired and it's easier than sorting through information or thinking for ourselves.
Real journalists have no need to manipulate. They want only to bring a story to light. Real journalists offer only factual information. They sacrifice everything to give us just the slightest glimpse of what's real and they leave it up to us to decide how we feel.
"In a time of universal deceit," as George Orwell said, "telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
The lifetimes of revolutionaries aren't glamorous. Revolutionaries are rarely treated to a peaceful end. Theirs often come gruesomely and violently. That is the cost of the truth now.
We've watched two U.S. citizens pay that price in recent weeks. Don't dishonor their memory or their work by perpetuating misinformation and propaganda from fake journos who have no integrity.
Think freely and think for yourself.

Chili Organic Ground Beef with Olives
Organic Ground Beef Paleo Recipe
I just love it when a ground beef recipe is simple, yet delicious enough that you'll want to make extra portions and freeze them.
This ground beef recipe has the paleo principles you're aiming for : protéins-vegetables-healthy fats. Make sure your protein portion isn't bigger that the size of your hand palm.
And bonus, this recipe can also be made during a Whole30®.
The Whole30® is an effort to eliminate all food additives, colourings, alcohol,
food preservatives for a complete 30 days. As an example : liquid vanilla extract without
alcohol – verify your own bottle at home, it probably has some in it!
Paleo's Goal : Avoid All Toxins
As you can see, there is white rice on my plate for this dish. White rice is in the gray paleo zone.
Let me explain. A grain of rice has 3 layers.
There is the brown hull exterior part (brown rice), there is the middle part and the inside, which is white (white rice).
This is what Mark Sisson has to say about white rice : The common thread is that white, milled, polished rice is basically pure starch. All the chemical negatives are found in the hull, husk, and bran, and those are easily removed or negated. It is essentially a blank slate, nothing all that bad about it, but nothing all that great, either.
That's why white rice is in the gray zone. It doesn't have any nutriments, but no toxins or anti-nutriments either. It is pure starch.
Conclusion? Eat it occasionally if you are not trying to loose weight. Nothing wrong with it.
Ok, now the recipe! I love the wilted spinach with this chili organic ground beef, yummy!
If you feel like it, share this recipe with your friends!
- 1 pound organic ground beef
- 3 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 pinch pink salt and black pepper
- 2 big organic tomatoes, diced
- 1 small can of sliced black olives
- 4 handful organic spinach
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 finely chopped garlic clove
- Coconut or avocado oil
- In a big skillet (with a cover), soften the garlic and onions in coconut or avocado oil.
- Add organic ground beef and break the meat using a fork. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add all spices : chili, rosemary, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Then, add organic diced tomatoes, mix well and cook for 3 minutes. Add black olives and mix again.
- Once the ground beef is cooked (no more pink color), add all the spinach on top of the meat and cover for a 2 minutes. You want some wilted spinach but not too soggy.
- Serve immediately with or without white rice as a side dish - if white rice fits into your diet.

How can I get traffic to my eCommerce website?
Many think the number one way is to create a blog, and I agree. Blogging is more powerful that you can imagine, and mostly free. It takes time, effort, thought, engagement, passion, and drive. Chances are that your eCommerce site is something you are passionate about, and it's easy to caress traffic when you have passion.
Blogging is the most fun I've had since discovering modern video games. I'm serious. Blogging is engaging. Looking at blog statistics is a powerful motivator to continue with the work. If you can call it work. If you love to write, you will most likely take to blogging like a duck to water. So check out Blogger, WordPress, or TypePad.
I'll confess, I have not tried WordPress or TypePad, yet. I found out about them while reading "Create your own blog: 6 easy projects to start blogging like a pro" by Tris Hussey. Tris has been blogging for years, and makes his living from blogging. It's a great read and gets high marks from readers on Amazon. That said, I do plan to try them out. Right now, I am loving Blogger so much, I don't have time to check them out.
Back on topic...
Blog about your site. Blog often, and make the content interesting and fun. Focus on your niche. Don't blog about everything in the world, stay on topic. Link to your site often, like this. You will be surprised at how quickly you get traffic. And business.
