112 Spring Street, Summerside, Prince Edward Island, C1N, Canada
112 Spring StreetJohn A. Sharp House
This impressive one-and-one-half storey house with Gothic Revival influences is situated close to the street on the southwest corner of the Spring and Notre Dame intersection. It has a gable roof, cladding of grey clapboard and scalloped shingles with white trim and an elaborate entryway featuring a vestibule with balcony above. The balcony has turned posts and balustrade and is covered by a pedimented roof.
The house on the southwest corner of Notre Dame and Spring Streets has historical significance as the home of Joseph Bertram, a founder of the newspaper that went on to become Summerside's Journal-Pioneer. It was also the home for more than sixty years of the family of prominent oyster dealer, John A. Sharp. It enhances the historical streetscape of Spring and Notre Dame providing residential character on the street despite the encroachment of the large parking lot immediately to the south.
The residence was built for Joseph Bertram around 1870. He had come to Summerside sometime in 1865, the year that he and Henry Barnard founded the newspaper, The Summerside Journal. In the 1870 McAlpine business directory, Joseph Bertram was listed as the editor and proprietor of the Summerside Journal with a home on Spring Street. The house was probably built sometime after his marriage in 1866. Mr. Bertram's death occurred in 1876 when he was only 37 years of age.
The house came up for a sheriff's sale in 1880, with T.B. Hall as the plaintiff. It was purchased at auction by James and Amanda Clark, who three days later, sold it back to Agnes Bertram, the widow of Joseph. It must have been shortly after that she left Summerside because the Bertram family does not appear in the 1881 census. When the house was sold in 1891, she and three children were residing in New York City.
The new owner of the property was John A. Sharp, a local merchant and oyster dealer, who may have been renting the house prior to his purchase. In 1898, Mr. Sharp made some noticeable changes to what would have originally been a plain one-and-a-half storey dwelling. According to the Summerside Journal, he "added several bay windows, and a vestibule and balcony, which add greatly to the appearance of the house" and was also erecting a large new barn.
John Sharp and his wife Mary Ellen Walsh had a family of five sons and three daughters. Mr. Sharp died at age 57 in 1906 leaving his widow with seven children ranging in age from 10 to 25. The oldest, Ludlow, who was living in New Jersey at that time, returned to Summerside and took over his father's oyster shipping business. He was living at home when he died in 1930. Mrs. John Sharp died in 1936, leaving her daughter, Zilpha, with the house. She passed away in 1953 after a lifetime of church and community work.
The lot had been reduced in size in 1946 when Miss Sharp sold a 40 by 74 foot section to Angus H. MacKie and his wife, Miriam. Angus was the son of William MacKie and May Bell Sharp, the latter being the daughter of James A., a brother of John A. Sharp. Mr. MacKie worked for many years in the radio station CHGS of R.T. Holman Limited and later was associated with the CJRW radio station. He and his wife, the former Miriam Lidstone, built the house at 254 Notre Dame Street on the land where the Sharp barn had been.
Shortly after the death of Zilpha Sharp, Angus MacKie purchased her home and rented it to various tenants. A small apartment was made in the upper floor of the ell section of the house and this was also rented over the years. John and Mary Jane Tredenick bought the residence in October 1970 after renting it for two years. A fire in February 1971 destroyed part of the ell section, which was being renovated at the time. The family vacated the premises for a period of three months while repairs and changes were made to the interior and a new exterior entrance was installed for the second floor apartment. Mrs. Tredenick sold the house in 1999.

ORIGINAL! ACCORDING TO THE OLD SKILLFUL CRAFTSMAN EXPERIENCE! Fantastic shape on the axe head. The axe head is rare because of the massive blade with right direction and the angle of the blade!!! - see the pictures... The hewing axe is the preferred tool for flattening the surface of round logs. In past centuries, wood beams were often made by splitting the logs with some type of mallet and wedge, or glut. Then they were surfaced with an adz or a hewing ax. When iron axes became available, the hewing ax almost replaced the adz. Hewing axes were frequently used to roughly square the logs before they were sawn into boards with a pit saw. Goose-wing broad axes were made in both left- and right-handed models. The goose-wing handle was offset to the left or right by fitting it into a bent metal tube forged to the bit. Hand crafted. Used for carving, hewing. Old "bearded" "viking" design. Perfect condition.

Good Morning,
We treat the people we work with and the customer well because we must, it is our job and it is easier because they do not know our issues. They come and go daily in our lives and customers we may never see again.
It is much easier to take out our anger, and our frustration on our loved ones as we believe that they will not leave us and sometimes we feel guilty and undeserving of their devotion to us. We try to test them to the limit to see if they really love us.
I hope you have a therapist to work with on this as I know after an episode you feel guilty for taking your stress out on them instead of using new ways to reduce your stress.
Gentle Hugs to you and I hope you can learn new ways to deal with the bad days.
My answer to your question, I will wake up thinking this is going to be a good day and then I get struck down. You never know what the day will bring. :)

In a case involving the largest-ever corporate restatement, the Securities and Exchange Commission leveled charges against not only the former chief financial officer (CFO) but also the former chief executive officer (CEO) and other members of the management of the Rite Aid Corporation. The complaint alleges that Rite Aid overstated its earnings in prior years, leading to a $1.6 billion restatement of net income.
The alleged accounting irregularities include:
- Inflated deductions for amounts owed to vendors for damaged and outdated products.
- Failure to record an accrued expense for stock appreciation rights granted to employees.
- Improper reversals of expense accruals.
- Improper adjustments to cost of goods sold.
- Overcharging vendors for undisclosed markdowns at the retail level.
- Keeping the books open after year-end to record unearned revenues.
- Improper recording of a litigation settlement.
- Improperly capitalizing costs for "dead deals."
- Improper treatment of payments from insurance carriers for prescription orders never picked up by customers.
- Irregularities related to accounting for inventory shrinkage.
The complaint also charges that the former CEO fabricated Finance Committee minutes for a meeting that never occurred and caused the company to fail to disclose several related-party transactions in which he sought to enrich himself at the expense of the company's shareholders.
The penalties sought by the Commission include disgorgement of annual bonuses and permanent disbarment from serving as an officer or director of a public company.

I was requested to post a picture of the coloured contacts that I normally wear. I really like this brand because it blends into my natural eye colour very well.
These are called FreshLook Colorblends in Gray. I get the prescription ones from the Walmart Vision Center. One box contains three pairs of the same colour (you cannot choose three different colours). I can't remember the price but it's around $44ish Cdn. Good enough to wear 14x.
However, some local optical stores do sell non-prescription lenses too and they sell them in single pairs for around $20Cdn or in boxes.

Gisele Ben-Dor said farewell in her own style to the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra Saturday night with a diverse and well-executed program.
The highlight of the program was Antonin Dvorak's great cello concerto with soloist Ronald Thomas.
This dramatic work began with very brisk tempos, and it was clear from the outset that Ben-Dor took a direct, no-nonsense approach to the music. With his initial entry, Thomas coaxed a sweet, singing tone from his instrument. As the work progressed, I was continually impressed by the beauty of his playing.
Ben-Dor's ability to clarify the orchestral lines also was impressive. Many details that might be missed in the swell of orchestral sound were clarified, particularly at the end of the first movement.

Xfce is the default desktop enviornment for Xubuntu and just like KDE (from Kubuntu) it can be installed from the Synaptic Package Manager or using a Terminal command line. I will show you how to install Xfce using the command line in a Terminal window.
Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for unix-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly. Xfce embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and re-usability. It consists of a number of components that provide the full functionality one can expect of a modern desktop environment. Xfce Homepage
To install Xfce open a Terminal window (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and copy+paste the following line:
sudo apt-get install xfce4
The Xfce Goodies Project includes additional software and artwork that are related to the Xfce desktop, but not part of the official release. I didn't add the install goodies in the same command line with Xfce because i like to install software when i need it. When installing the Xfce goodies you will install a lot of extra programs you probably don't need. To install the Xfce goodies copy+paste the following line:
sudo apt-get install xfce4-goodies
When installed log out and select your user name then click on Change Session (bottom panel) and change it to Xfce Session and log in again.

ShowBox for iPhone and iPad is a hotly enquired subject on the internet. Not many can seem to find it online. Some even say it does not exist. On course you can find and download ShowBox app for iOS. And we're here to tell you how.
Why Download Showbox for iPhone and iPad:
Now of course you're not going to find a lot of reasons different from why you should get ShowBox for any other device. But there can be quite a few advantages to downloading ShowBox for iOS devices.
- ShowBox for iOS ensures you can watch and download free movies online for zero cost, wherever you are, whenever you like.

- The amazing collection of movies and TV shows is also pretty neatly arranged. You can also use the app to Chromecast your content to a big screen.
- There are multiple sources to stream movies from, along with multiple resolutions to conserve data.
If you're excited about ShowBox app for iOS devices, here is the simple way to get it.
How to download ShowBox app for iPhone and iPad.
The procedure to download and install ShowBox app for iPhone and iPad is surprisingly simple. With a handful of steps, you're ready to use ShowBox app on iOS without any problems. Here's what you need to do.
- Of your iOS device, download vShare app via the internet browser of your choice. Make sure it is present on iTunes.
- Tap the downloaded dmg file to install the app. You will be asked if you trust the application. Reply in the affirmative.
- Run vShare, Trust the application in the prompt that follows. Look up "MovieBox" in the search bar and download it.
- Movie Box is a twin app to ShowBox. Installing MovieBox is same as ShowBox for iPhone and iPad. Tap to download and install the app.
- You will be asked if you trust the application. Once again, reply in the positive and complete the installation procedure.
MovieBox, the ShowBox app for iPhone and iPad, is now ready to be used on your device. When you first open the app, trust the application, and you're ready to watch and download unlimited free movies, without limitations of genre, language and quality. The best thing about Movie Box is undoubtedly its ease of access, given how it is a perfect copy of ShowBox app available for Android, Blackberry and Windows. The menus and the content is the same, which means iPhone and iPad users can finally match upto Android users in terms of options for free entertainment.
Other ways to get ShowBox for iPhone and iPad
If you're looking for more ways to install ShowBox on your iOS device, there are a few options you can use. One way is to use the ShowBox app on an Android Emulator for iOS. Good Android emulators are rare to find, given the lack of reliable online reviews. One good emulator is Cydia. Use the iAndroid emulator available within the Cydia application, and you can use ShowBox within it. It is a pretty nested deal.
If you're ready to spend a few dollars, use an online emulator like ManyMo. This is a great option if you have a high end iPad device, though all iPads should be able to play it.
I hope this helps all you iOS users out there who want to watch free movies and TV shows of ShowBox. Let me know if this works for you in the comments below, as well as any issues you face in the installation.

I've been super cranky today. Because I got stuck in this circle of trying to find my purpose. Not a cycle, not even a swirl, a CIRCLE. Like a chasing-my-tail, about-to-fall-over circle.
All it did was put me in a bad mood. What is my purpose? Am I living it out? How can I live it out? Can I live it out before I FIGURE it out? Will people around me assign it to me before I figure it out for myself?
Then I talked to my husband, and in his normal irreverent way, he said some bad words about having a purpose. He told me to forget it. He said he doesn't have a purpose and he's totally fine with it. He said he thinks people who are super-sure about their purpose are lying and possibly misguided. Or maybe they're totally cool. But it's not because they figured out their purpose, it's because they're just chill anyway.
Then I thought about what I love to do. I love to love people. I love to be open-hearted and have my arms wide open and shower people with love and affection and unconditional positive regard. I love to listen to people and know their whole stories. I love to sit with people and try to surround them with comforting energy and be fully present with them. I love to learn and grow.
I do NOT love to try to make people do things. I am not a coercer. I am not a motivational speaker (well, possibly I am but only for people who want to be motivated, and then I think sometimes they hear what they want to hear.) I do not love to organize people or plan events. Ack! Freaks me out.
So, those are some simple distinctions.
Today, I either have no purpose, or my purpose is to love people. That's the reeeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy broad purpose: love. At one point, I thought my purpose was to be a healer, and that might not be too far off. But for today, I need it to be even broader. True, I probably can't monetize it to make 7 figures on the Internet. It's the kind of purpose that will lead me to jobs that also have me putting myself out there in ways that might mean I get hurt a lot, too. But I think it's right for me.

WVU School of Medicine receives gift from The Health Plan
$250,000 to benefit STEPS CenterMORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The Health Plan recently presented a $250,000 gift for the West Virginia Simulation Training and Education for Patient Safety (WV STEPS) Center at the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center.
"Each year we make it a priority to reinvest in initiatives that benefit our communities, particularly in students," Philip D. Wright, president and chief executive officer for The Health Plan, said. "Our insurance network officially covers all of the state of West Virginia, and we hope that this gift will provide much needed equipment to expand training and teaching opportunities for our state's health professions students."
WV STEPS includes a state-of-the-art, hands-on simulation laboratory equipped with realistic manikins programmed to mimic life-threatening medical conditions that assist clinical learners in improving their analytical, diagnostic, communications, and crisis-intervention skills.
By utilizing a variety of patient simulators, or virtual humans, capable of reactions such as trembling, crying, bleeding, and giving birth, clinicians have the opportunity to learn, rehearse, and perfect procedures.
"We must ensure that our best and brightest students are not leaving West Virginia to pursue their healthcare education and training elsewhere," Arthur J. Ross, III, M.D., M.B.A., dean of the WVU School of Medicine, said. "By making this investment in the WV STEPS Center, The Health Plan is ensuring that the WVU Health Sciences Center will continue to deliver innovative, state-of-the-art, inter-professional healthcare training to nursing, medical, pharmacy, and dentistry students, who can then contribute to growing a healthier West Virginia. For that we are forever grateful."
"We are so thankful to The Health Plan for sharing our vision of providing the most technologically advanced teaching tools for our students," David Wilks, M.D., medical director of WV STEPS and assistant dean for technology in medical education in the School of Medicine, said. "Simulation training offers so much to our students. They can practice in a risk-free environment, learning critical skills while also developing a greater understanding of other team members' roles."
The 4,000-square-foot WV STEPS Center began operating in October 2009. The second phase of the program is expected to add 14,000 square feet of teaching space to the center. WVU Healthcare professionals also may use the WV STEPS center for continuing education to refresh and improve clinical skills.
The gift was made in conjunction with A State of Minds: The Campaign for West Virginia's University. The $750 million comprehensive campaign being conducted by the WVU Foundation on behalf of the University runs through December 2015.

Easy Logo Design Ideas | 5 Things Your Logo Should Say About Your Photography Business
Easy Logo Design Ideas | It's hard to argue against the importance of a logo. In non-visual industries it's often what customers first identify with in a brand. In the photography business, it plays second fiddle to your work, but it's still a crucial visual cue and tie-together for your potential clients. Many photographers fail to see that a logo, unlike any other design element, is literally the face of their business, and hence attached to a much larger beast. You can't peel it off from a book and slap it onto things like a sticker.
Easy Logo Design Ideas | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Designing a great logo is one of the most vital things you can do for your business or portfolio website. A good logo should communicate the intended message to your audience without additional explanation or context. This is why logo design isn't for the impatient designer; it often requires many hours of researching, concepts, and revisions before nailing that final, beautiful design. There are many options to consider – colors, font selection, images, size, shape, etc. In this post, we explain the five most important things that will make your business logo design successful.
Does It Help People Remember You? | Easy Logo Design Ideas
A simple logo design enables easy recognition and allows the logo to be flexible and memorable. Well designed logos feature something unexpected or unique without being overdrawn. Logos that are overdrawn or too compelx are generally inflexible and have limited versatility. By keeping a logo simple it boosts its "stickiness" and keeps it from being seen as cluttered. Choosing a design that's bold enough to be both memorable and instantly recognizable is one secret to success.

Does It Convey Your Business? | Easy Logo Design Ideas
The last thing you want from your logo is to have it mistaken for that of another photographer. So when considering logo design, it's important to keep it original. Look at what's out there and find an opening for something new. Make sure you carefully research your industry and target audience before embarking on a logo design. You have to know and understand the common styles of your industry, but you also need to make sure that you don't infringe on anyone else's trademarked logo. When looking to avoid brand confusion, think about the colors, shape, symbolism, and flow of your design.
Does It Build Trust? | Easy Logo Design Ideas
The logo is the first impression, of not just who a photographer is, but how trustworthy they are – and in turn, how much a client will open up. Knowing what is appropriate for your audience will affect what font style you use, the colors and any accompanying imagery. You wouldn't design the same logo for a toy company as you would an automotive parts store. As you designed the logo, and your opinion is thus slightly tainted, the best way to know what impression your logo makes is to simply ask a few people. So show it off, ask what impression they get, and go from there.

What Does Its Color Convey? | Easy Logo Design Ideas
One of the most crucial considerations for logo design is the color palette. This is not a superficial decision, color conveys meanings and communicates ideas. There is so much emotion inherent in color and its psychological power can be extremely effective. It can help tell the story of your brand by portraying a particular personality. Warm, cool, neutral, vivid, complimentary, analogous, soft, light, dark, bright, saturated — all of these color types can be used effectively to boost your intended message.

Is It Flexible? | Easy Logo Design Ideas
Will your logo scale to different sizes without losing quality? Will it work in one color or against a dark background? An effective logo should work across various media and within different contexts. Think carefully how much detail to add to your logo design. Lots of small shapes and skinny lines should be avoided as they could disappear or print very broken and rough when reduced to small sizes. An effective logo is easily recognizable at a glance, both in color and in black and white, and in any size. A good logo works as both a highway billboard and a Twitter avatar. If your logo relies on fine print, you have a problem.

News Release
RI Department of Environmental Management
235 Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908
"This environmentally friendly new pavilion at East Matunuck State Beach is a great example of the state's commitment to energy conservation and sustainability, and a fitting tribute to the late State Police Trooper Daniel O'Brien for his dedicated service to the people of Rhode Island," said Governor Lincoln Chafee.
The 1,938 square-foot bathhouse features hot showers, large and family-style restrooms and changing stalls. The 1,620 square-foot concession building includes office space, a first aid room, and a concession stand. Public access and use of the facility are enhanced by an expanded deck area that features open and covered shade areas. The pavilion also includes a new lifeguard tower, two ramps to access the beach, and one ramp to access the parking area. Two cold shower areas are located along the ramps that run from the beach to the bathhouse.
"Rhode Island has some of the most spectacular beaches that can be found anywhere," said DEM Director Janet Coit. "Our world-class, state-of-the-art facilities are among the state's major tourist attractions and generate billions of dollars for the local and state economy every year. We invite people of all ages and physical abilities to visit East Matunuck State Beach and our magnificent new pavilion and experience the joy of Beautiful Rhode Island."
Much of the energy the new bathhouse uses for lighting, exhaust and circulation fans, and hot water for showers and flushing toilets is provided on-site by a 10 kW wind turbine and roof-mounted solar panels. The solar panels are expected to generate over 21,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, and the wind turbine is expected to generate 16,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The wind turbine and solar systems at this facility will save the State $5,200 per year in energy costs. Other environmentally-friendly features of the new facility include new composting toilets, waterless urinals, a solar hot water system for the concession stand, and extensive use of natural daylight and ventilation.
"This new pavilion, which is now more family-friendly and accessible to all, is a fitting tribute to Trooper O'Brien, who gave his life in service to others. I was pleased to help secure $475,000 in federal funding from National Park Service Land and Water Conservation funds for this project. Beachgoers will really appreciate the new bathrooms, concession stand, and expanded deck, and everyone benefits from the long-term energy savings. This has always been a wonderful beach and these new state-of-the-art facilities make it even more special," said Senator Jack Reed, the Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior & Environment, which oversees National Park Service funding.
"This new energy-efficient facility can be enjoyed by all Rhode Islanders, including those with disabilities," said U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. "By meeting green energy standards, this building honors the natural environment of one of our state's great beaches, and will enhance the summer experience for Rhode Islanders and tourists visiting our state."
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin said, "Rhode Island's beaches are one of our state's greatest assets, and the new pavilion at East Matunuck State Beach allows visitors to enjoy the amenities it offers while utilizing state of the art green technology. It is a fitting tribute that the pavilion be re-dedicated to Trooper Daniel L. O'Brien, who gave his life while protecting others. We can all remember the sacrifice he made while enjoying the beauty of East Matunuck State Beach."
Facility Dedicated in Honor of Fallen State Trooper Daniel L. O'Brien
The new East Matunuck State Beach pavilion, as was the former beach pavilion, was dedicated in honor of RI State Trooper Daniel L. O'Brien at today's event. On August 31, 1954, Trooper Daniel L. O'Brien, while in the performance of his duty, was drowned in East Matunuck while engaged in the rescue of persons endangered by the raging sea overflow caused by Hurricane Carol. Trooper O'Brien lost his life at Succotash Road in East Matunuck only a few minutes after he had warned two residents to leave the area. His cruiser was crippled by rapidly rising water. He radioed Hope Valley Barracks that he had abandoned the car and would be walking to higher ground. While helping a citizen, a large wave separated the two men; a witness stated that he had seen Trooper O'Brien some 30 feet away surrounded by debris. Trooper O'Brien died upholding the highest traditions of the Rhode Island State Police, and was posthumously awarded the State Police Service ribbon.
Colonel O'Donnell stated, "The men and women of the Rhode Island State Police are honored that the State of Rhode Island is re-dedicating the East Matunuck State Police Pavilion in memory of Trooper Daniel L. O'Brien, who was tragically killed while rescuing area residents during Hurricane Carol."
Trooper O'Brien's sister, Lois Cheney, gave brief remarks at the dedication ceremony, saying "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
The East Matunuck State Beach project is the third alternative energy wind project to be completed by DEM in Rhode Island state parks and beaches over the past two years. In May 2010, DEM unveiled the first wind turbine at Salty Brine State Beach in Narragansett. That 10 kW wind turbine has been very well received by beachgoers and has supplied over 21,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to the beach pavilion in the first 18 months of operation. A 100 kW wind turbine was installed at Fishermen's Memorial State Park and Campground in Narragansett last fall; to date this turbine has generated 106,777 kilowatt hours of electricity in its first seven months of operation.
In addition to the solar panels at East Matunuck State Beach, the Department has installed solar panels at eight other DEM facilities throughout the state with funding from a $1.5 million federal ARRA grant awarded through the RI Office of Energy Resources. The solar panels are designed to turn the energy from the sun into electricity that will be used to offset the energy needs at the state facilities.
DEM has installed a web-based "dashboard" reporting system at www.solrenview.com (click on live sites, then public sites and scroll down to RIDEM to see the listing of RIDEM sites.) This website allows the public to track the amount of electricity produced by the solar panels and the wind turbines at the Lafayette Fish Hatchery, Prudence Island Research Reserve; it will go "live" soon for East Matunuck, Fisherman's Memorial State Campground, Dawley Park, Burlingame State Park, Misquamicut Beach, and Scarborough Beach. A separate website at www.deckmonitoring.com will monitor and display the energy produced from the three wind turbines; that website will be up and running soon. Using this system, the general public, students, and other interested parties can see data on the renewable energy that is being produced at DEM-owned facilities.
The new East Matunuck State Beach facility was designed by a team led by Burgin Lambert Architects of Newport. In addition, the design team includes Scituate Surveys, Blue Sky Engineering, Katherine Field Associates, Wil Yoder, DEM's Divisions of Planning & Development and Parks & Recreation, Robert Wilkinson, and Robert McClanaghan. Pezzuco Construction, Inc. of Cranston was awarded the construction contract.
Funding for the $4.5 million project comes from a combination of state funds, settlement funds, and federal stimulus grants through the RI Office of Energy Resources. $2.2 million is from state bond funds, $1.7 million from RI capital funds, $475,000 is from National Park Service Land and Water Conservation Funds, $176,000 is from federal American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds, and $8,500 is being provided from a multi-state settlement agreement with American Electric Power Service for federal Clean Air Act violations.

THE art of the 1980s frequently receives a sensationalist press -- which isn't surprising, considering its strutting heroes, glitzy extravaganzas, and strident, well-rehearsed apologists and claques. Closer observation, however, will reveal that today's art is also characterized by the extraordinary professionalism and creative integrity of a somewhat older generation of artists whose roots go back to the days of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Miminalism: artists such as James Turrell, Jennifer Bartlett, Terence La Noue, Robert Kushner, Tino Zago, Robert Birmelin, Nancy Graves, Alan Magee, Neil Jenney, Jerome Witkin, Gregory Amenoff, Elizabeth Murray, and Joseph Raffael. These -- among a few others -- are the painters and sculptors who truly dignify the '80s and who -- since most are still in their 40s -- will continue to contribute significantly to the art of our time.
They will not, of course, receive the media attention given to the likes of Julian Schnabel or David Salle -- but then, neither do they risk being forgotten in six or seven years. What they have, they've earned and have every right to keep.
No one has earned membership in this group more than Idelle Weber, a painter who first made a name for herself in the 1970s with Photo-Realist paintings of fruit stands and city trash, and who has since turned much of her attention to the depiction of brilliantly hued flowers and other plants. These are confined within or play contrapuntally against rigidly defined garden enclosures or architectural structures, conveying an overall impression of disciplined profusion, of exuberance kept under civilized
Some of her very latest paintings are derived from fragmentary views of the gardens of Giverny, Versailles, Villandry, and Vaux-le-Vicomte. They incorporate precise representations of balustrades, bridges, decorative motifs, and more prosaic architectural details. By playing these off against dense masses of foliage, floral groupings, and richly patterned reflections in pools, Weber creates an effect that is cool, elegant, and lyrically classical, barely hinting at the ease with which nature could rei mpose its kind of order were these beautifully designed evidences of advanced civilization to be abandoned.
It may be only a hint, but we get the message, nevertheless -- as indeed we have all along in her paintings. With few exceptions, they have always represented an exquisite balance between the ordered and the casual, between the disciplines of art and the apparent disorder of nature. In her earlier trash and garbage pictures, disorder, even a mild form of chaos, generally won out -- not because her canvases were not well composed, but because such straightforward depictions of society's waste products remains too full of ironic and even tragic implications ever to serve as successful icons of order.
Flowers, on the other hand, were a different matter entirely -- especially when brilliantly colored clusters of them were given crisp new formal identities in beautifully groomed gardens or elegantly designed waterside arrangements. Weber's most recent works, in particular, achieve truly extraordinary levels of visual enchantment and formal balance by the shrewd and sensitive orchestration of such diverse elements as dramatic ornamental units incorporating rococo floral motifs; bulky, richly textured
architectural forms; vivid trompe l'oeil effects; and carefully massed flowers and foliage.
Her generally very large and stunning canvases are sumptuously painted in a manner that takes maximum advantage of the texture, color, and design of every individual object without in any way violating the subtle chromatic and linear orchestrations of their compositions. As a result, they are as effective at close range as at 30 feet and are ideally suited to serve as murals.
Interestingly, her exhibition last month at the Ruth Siegel Gallery here indicated that she is moving even further toward a purely monumental format and that her hitherto loosely contrapuntal approach is being tightened and enriched by the inclusion of at least a touch of actual three-dimensionality. Where this will lead is anyone's guess, although it will obviously provide her future work with even more complex spatial and decorative devices than it has so far had at its disposal. Certainly, her rec ent attempts to create greater pictorial ambiguity by separating panels and then placing them at slightly different distances from the viewer, or by appending trompe l'oeil details onto obviously hand-painted images, have considerably expanded her formal and expressive vocabularies.
But then, she has always been remarkably open to anything that would help direct her talents more efficiently. She has used the camera as effectively as though it were a ``super-eye,'' taking notes and gathering the visual information that is then translated into thousands of small daubs and smears of paint that constitute her images. And she has never shied away from pushing color relationships to the ``exploding point,'' or from placing the most intense and vivid hues against dead grays or velvety bla cks. She is, in short, a very special artist whose evolution has been consistent and fascinating to watch, and whose dedication, imagination, and talent make her more than worthy of inclusion in the small but exceptional band of painters and sculptors who are bringing dignity and respect to the art of the 1980s.

"If something is a good idea, it's going to happen. And so, you can fight it, or you can do it." – Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO
It's time to start the move. You don't want to be left behind. This is for real, and it may mean life or death for your business.
What is "this"? This is the migration of your business to the cloud. It is a world free of of worry about things that have nothing to do with your core business.
Think of it this way – what if you had to concern yourself with providing the electricity needed to run your business? If there was no outlet to plug your lights and machines into, you would have to go look for a generator, buy it, implement it, hire engineers to keep it running, make sure you have backup, and make plans for any disaster that might befall such a critical component of your business.
It used to be this way, in the days before the electric grid, and being able to produce your own electricity was a huge competitive advantage. But once the grid was in place, it quickly became a major liability. Companies that moved to the grid significantly reduced their costs, and they could focus on their business. In addition, having access to cheap, unlimited electricity meant they could afford to make use of electrical components that before may have been cost prohibitive.
There is a very strong parallel between this and IT. Harvard professor Nicholas Carr has written a book about this called The Big Switch. In the same way that companies moved to the electrical grid, so they will move to the computing grid in the "cloud". Just like plugging your device into an outlet to get electrical power, you point your browser to the appropriate application in the cloud to get the service you need.
There are enormous advantages to be had. You never have to buy servers again. You never have to worry about backups and disaster recovery. You never need to hire networking specialists to keep your infrastructure running. You never have to patch and upgrade your hardware or software.
But it's even more than that. Once you are plugged into the cloud, you have access to thousands of new applications that can help your business, many of them free or low cost. Anyone anywhere in the world, at any time – employees, partners, clients – needs only a browser to access your organizations information. No more downloads, installs, updates.
The advantages go on. The software on the Web is generally much easier to use than the typical software you used to have to install yourself. It's rare to see a user manual when using a Web application – everyone expects it to work just like Amazon or eBay. So you will spend less time in training and struggling with knowing what to do next.
And now you are not alone. Sure, there were user conferences for the software you used, but now there is likely to be a whole community online that can help you when you get stuck, and give you ideas on how to leverage the software even more.
So you're thinking that all this sounds grand, but there has to be a downside. I am going to let my secret data be stored on some distant server somewhere where I have no control? This has got to be dangerous. What if my competitors get hold of it or it gets lost?
The truth is that you trust your money to outside institutions every single day. You would never think of hiding your money under your mattress. Why would you do that with your data? Besides, there is a much better chance that Joe the network guy is going to steal, lose, or otherwise accidentally distribute your data outside your organization than Google will.
It's time to start thinking with your head in the cloud. Your costs will go down, your productivity will increase, and your business will be more efficient.
Stay tuned for a road map to show you how to get there…

Although they admit no wrongdoing, all of this stems from these department stores conspiring to sell cosmetics products only at the manufacturers' suggested retail price and never at a discount, and also by coordinating special promotions so other stores couldn't compete.
Doesn't this make you reflect on all the times you went into one of these department stores and spent money on a cosmetics item either for yourself or for a birthday, Mother's day, Christmas, graduation, anniversary or other special occasion?
Oh, please don't get me started thinking about the small fortune I've spent over the years on myself and others on make-up, perfume and gift sets!
I think I feel a headache coming on...

8 skirts 4 dresses
Charlie has come to an age that she doesn't grow as exeptional as the first 2,5 years of her life. That means that she doesn't have to have a complete new wardrobe every 2 months or so. Although it was hard work organising, choosing and gathering new clothes every time; it became a hobby for me to purchase cool and cute clothes for her for low prices. I discovered the secondhandstore swaps and sample-sales (a heritage from my fashion-glossy-work) and made her some myself. I have saved all clothes that are too large for her in boxes and labeled them with sizes.
I'm a real girl-mother and have an eye (thanks mom!) for nice fabrics and prints, so it's no punishment to gather her wardrobe.
Today I was shopping in my own house; I opened the boxes for this summer and was surprised to see I have 8 (!) skirts in the same size for her. Ahum. And 4 summerdresses, and 5 shorts and 3 bikini's. Ahum. How many skirts can a 3-yearold wear? In this not so warm Dutch weather?
Ok, I will not buy anything summery for her this season :( ...it hurts.
(but these clothes are nice huh!?)

You're lucky: my daughter has never liked dresses. Never wear one except when she was a baby.

Wat jammer voor je! Hier puilen de kleerkasten ook uit. Maar sinds ik zelf af en toe wat naai koop ik veel minder voor de meisjes. Enkel nog echt superfantastische unieke stukken uit de kringloopwinkel ofzo en natuurlijk de basics die ik zelf niet kan maken. Andere kleine meisjes in de omgeving zijn ook erg leuk om voor te naaien!
Trouwens een heerlijke naam 'Charlie'!!!

I picked up 3 bottles of the famous Daiso charcoal mask in Japan, and for 100 yen (around $1) each I really should have bought more! If you are going to Japan, please stock up on these as 1 bottle will only last around 5-6 masks.
Before you read on, don't forget to enter my huge Kawaii Box giveaway!
Before you read on, don't forget to enter my huge Kawaii Box giveaway!
This is a black peel-off mask that pulls all the gunk out of your pores 'with the power of charcoal'. This in turn has the effect of minimizing pore size and making skin baby smooth. Trust me, there will not be a single dead skin cell or hair left on your face after using this!
"Formulated with natural ingredients from Oak trees, it removes oils and all dirt and deeply clean(s) the pore(s), leaving your skin clearer with less visible pores."
The instructions state to use the pack on your nose, however I have blackheads mostly on the sides of my chin and jawline as well as my forehead so I put the mask all over my face. From what I see on Google, plenty of people do this too.
It is best to apply the mask very thickly otherwise it will not have much 'strength' when it comes to pulling out all the nasty bits.
This is what the mask looks like when it is thickly applied. You can see that it sticks together leaving small bare patches on my forehead. I try to fill them in, but they simply reform so don't bother!
Apply the mask after washing your face with cleanser and warm water to get rid of any oils and to open up your pores. The mask is very thick, and I recommend rubbing it into the skin in small patches using circular motions to really 'push' the substance into your pores. It does not dry quickly, so you have time to go over thinner areas.
Tip: make sure the edges of the mask are applied thickly, otherwise it will be hard to peel the mask off when it's dry.
15 mins later the mask is dry and will turn matte. You will feel a strong tightening sensation as it dries. During the drying time don't eat, drink or talk otherwise it will lose adherence with your skin or crack. Time to peel off!
I peel the mask off my forehead first, starting from the sides and then pull downwards until the nose area has come off. Then I start from the sides of the jaw to the center of my face. I'm not going to lie, it is definitely painful, however not as painful as Biore pore strips which make tears flow out of my eyes. The first usage will be the most painful because it will pull out every single available impurity on your face including baby hairs and peach fuzz! So just a warning to those with a low pain tolerance or sensitive skin!
I tried really hard to pull the mask off in one go for the viewing pleasure of you lovely readers. Pulling it off in one piece is an art form in itself!
Your skin WILL be dry after you use this mask, so I usually wash off any remaining patches with warm water and then slather organic honey all over my face to moisturize and heal my raw skin.
This was the 3rd time I used the mask so the results are not as gross as I would have liked. However, here on the nose area you can see tiny white surface clogs as well as small hairs stuck to the mask.
This is part of the forehead area and the little solid balls of gunk are much larger (and more satisfying).
Unfortunately the mask doesn't do anything for the deeply embedded pores on my chin which can only be extracted by sheer force. Nonetheless, my skin is left really smooth after using this mask and I just feel better knowing that at least some of the clogs are gone and thus will not progress into pimples!
For $1 a piece this product is a complete bargain and will do best on girls with oily, clogged skin. If you have dry, sensitive skin you may find this mask a bit harsh. And if you have cystic acne I wouldn't recommend this mask as it may flare up your condition.
I try to use this mask at least once a week, and I'm undecided as to whether it is helping my current skin condition. It is definitely not worsening it, so I will continue the blackhead slaughter campaign!
Have you tried this mask? Thoughts?
*I bought this product with my own money. All opinions are 100% honest.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be playing Alberto Falcone in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. It has long been speculated what role Joseph Gordon-Levitt would play in Christopher Nolan's 2012 Batman film. Nolan has always sought to ground his Batman films in reality even though the roots of his property are those of a comic book. Alberto Falcone is
the son of Mafia chieftain Carmine Falcone, the character Tom Wilkinson played in "Batman Begins."
Alberto Falcone, who is also known as The Holiday Killer, would bring Nolan's superhero trilogy full-circle. The character fits with the helmer's stated intentions for continuity and preference to pit the Caped Crusader against "realistic" villains, as opposed to cartoonish nemeses such as Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy, who Batman battled in Joel Schumacher's 1997 misfire "Batman and Robin."
This fits in with some of the original rumors for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's role in The Dark Knight Rises
The original rumor (which was nothing more than, now very poignant, fan conjecture at the time) was that Falcone comes back to Gotham to try and reclaim the city Batman helped take from his father. Also, it made sense because Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) believes Carmine Falcone is her father in the Batman/Catwoman storyline Catwoman: When in Rome.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's casting was kept alive by his current schedule availability
Since Gordon-Levitt was first reported last month as being in talks for "Dark Knight," he hasn't signed on for any more projects, and his summer remains wide open.
Gordon-Levitt recently wrapped David Koepp's thriller "Premium Rush," which Columbia plans to open Jan. 13. He's currently filming Rian Johnson's sci-fi pic "Looper," which co-stars Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt.
I am looking forward to seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a world created by Christopher Nolan again. We already spoke of Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy being cast in the film here: The Dark Knight Rises casting: Anne Hathaway (Catwoman), Tom Hardy (Bane). What are your thoughts on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's role in The Dark Knight Rises? The Dark Knight Rises will be released in theaters on July 20, 2012.

Waste disposal: site preparation: revenue expenditure
S165-S167 Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005, S142-S144 Corporation Tax Act 2009
Modern practice is to create within a single site a series of cells each of which is filled with waste material before being sealed. As the original cells are filled further cells are constructed vertically and horizontally such that, over the lifetime of the site, a honeycomb structure results. Over the period that a site is used for waste disposal a large number of such cells will be constructed.
It might be argued that the expenditure on creating the internal walls and temporary surfaces of cells within the external containment structure is capital, because it results in the permanent modification of a capital asset, the site. However, where the economic life, that is the period during which it can receive waste, of a cell is short we accept that the expenditure on creating the internal sub-divisions to create these internal cells is revenue and not, therefore, within the site preparation expenditure legislation.
Engineering a modern waste disposal site to the point where waste can be deposited often includes constructing an impermeable clay layer, or laying an artificial lining, across the base and sides of the site. When the site has eventually been filled these elements, together with the final capping, create a containment structure for the whole site that is likely to fulfil that function for decades. We view the costs of creating such a containment structure as capital expenditure.
For practical and financial reasons, the base and sides of site containment structures are often built in sections, with internal barriers, or 'bunds', on the open sides to create the first level of internal cells. Provided these internal cells are filled and sealed within two years, we accept that the costs of the internal earthworks, i.e. the bunds and any internal caps, are revenue expenditure. However, the costs of the base and sides, which form part of the site containment structure, remain capital expenditure.
See BIM67516 for a memorandum of understanding between HMRC and the Environmental Services Association providing for a methodology for the waste industry to adopt in allocating expenditure (capital or revenue) between whole site expenditure and cell costs.

I have initial stage osteoporosis. I tried to discontinue Qvar, but developed severe bronchitis. Now I'm back on Qvar 40mcg, 2 puffs/2x/day. I can usually go to 2 puffs/day for maintenance. My doctor PA said I should think of Qvar as I do my BP meds-take for life. I'd appreciate advice re risk for osteoporosis if I stay on Qvar long term. I'm 66, woman, petite build with strong family history of osteoporosis.

'Captain America: Civil War': Five takeaways from the first trailer
We wouldn't have put it past Jimmy Kimmel to have pranked us all on his show Tuesday night, when he promised a big surprise with guests Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr., stars of next year's Captain America: Civil War. Knowing Kimmel, it could have been the two actors revealing their new line of Underoos. (Do Underoos still exist?)
But just as fans hoped, the big surprise on Jimmy Kimmel Live! was the first teaser trailer for Civil War, hitting theatres in May. And oh mama, it's a doozy.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers behind the awesome Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the guys who will be taking on the next two Avengers movies, Civil War will actually feature more heroes on screen than Avengers: Age of Ultron did. More importantly, they're going to be scrapping amongst themselves.
Here are our five big takeaways from this first look at Captain America: Civil War.
1. It's all about Cap and Bucky
Despite the number of heroes who will be in Civil War, it's still a Captain America movie. And the trailer keys in on the relationship between Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), the titular brainwashed baddie in The Winter Soldier who now seems to have joined Team Cap. Bucky is at the middle of a global brouhaha – falsely accused of a terrorist attack, we think – and Cap's loyalty to his friend puts him at odds with Iron Man and the rest of the gang who are siding with the government's plan to register and regulate superheroes.
2. It looks grounded and real
It's hard to put superpowered people on screen and have them seem relatable, but from the very practical-looking special effects (we'll never get tired of Cap's flying kicks) to the very raw, human emotions on the characters' faces, this looks like it will hit the same mix that The Winter Soldier did – great action done in a way that doesn't feel CGI'd to death, and puts the characters front and centre.
3. Black Panther makes his debut
The trailer gives us our first look at Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther in costume, and the fan reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. The outfit is pretty faithful to the comics while also looking high-tech and badass, and we see Black Panther's power as he runs, leaps and sends the Winter Soldier flying with a two-legged kick. Bring it on, T'Challa!
4. Who's missing is almost as interesting as who's there
While we also get a look at William Hurt's Gen. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross for the first time since 2008's The Incredible Hulk (and c'mon, fans, Red Hulk is not going to be in this movie), there's no glimpse of Spider-Man – we'd be surprised if he shows up in any trailer – nor Ant-Man, Vision or other heroes we know will be in the film. (We actually visited the Civil War set in Atlanta this year and watched a key scene being shot, but we can't say anything about it. Yet. Stay tuned.)
5. That fight. THAT FIGHT
The three-way beatdown in which Cap and Bucky seem to be kicking the crap out of Iron Man is both breathtaking in its choreography and heartbreaking in its implications. Captain America beating on his pal Iron Man – how can this possibly end well? And will these wounds ever heal? We'll have to wait until May to find out. Suddenly, that seems a long way away.

Israeli leader accuses Iran of cyberattacks
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel's prime minister said Sunday there has been a "significant rise" in cyberattacks on Israel by Iran.
Benjamin Netanyahu told a security conference that Iran, along with its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas, are targeting Israel's "essential systems." He said the water system, electric grid, trains and banks have all been targeted.
"Every sphere of civilian economic life, let's not even talk about our security, is a potential or actual cyberattack target," Netanyahu said. He said the attacks "will continue to intensify as we advance into the digital age."
Netanyahu gave no further details, and his office refused to elaborate.
Israeli officials have long said that the country is under constant attack by enemies and ideological opponents to shut down vital websites. Most attacks have had little impact.
Shlomi Dolev, a cybersecurity expert at Israel's Ben-Gurion University, said it is logical to assume that Iran is trying to attack Israeli targets. He said Israel is under constant threat, though he could not verify the sources.
"I'm not sure how sophisticated they are. But they of course have some experts," Dolev said.
Israel considers Iran to be its most dangerous enemy, citing Tehran's support for Arab militant groups, its years of hostile anti-Israel rhetoric and its suspect nuclear program. Israel, like many Western countries, believes Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb.
Israel is a world leader in cyber security, thanks in large part to expertise developed in shadowy high-tech units in the military. Israel is widely expected of launching sophisticated computer attacks on its enemies, including a worm that targeted Iran's nuclear program and caused significant damage.
