Shari Weschler Rubeck (also known as, "Sumo Bunni") is a talented artist who lives with her family in Rhode Island. She and her husband Christian started their own art website called, "Art In Mind" http://www.artinmind.org/ which is a fantastic showcase of their artistic talents. I wanted to find out what inspired such a cool enterprise and chatted with Shari…
"The viewer's perspective is a gift … If I give it all away, I believe I have removed the viewer's ability to connect with the work on a more personal level or to make discoveries I may have missed ..."
MICHAEL: Hello Shari, Your work is very intriguing, but first, you identify yourself as "Sumo Bunni." Why? What's it all about?
SHARI: Sumo Bunni formulated one day while sitting with our son Desi, at the dining room table drawing when he was in kindergarten. He was struggling with what we thought was Tourette's Syndrome, but later discovered more likely to be OCD. He had many tics that made life challenging for him and drawing was a way for him to quiet the frequent disturbances.
He drew every day religiously and wanted me, my husband and whoever else could draw, to work alongside of him. He also constantly requested that we illustrate his choice of topic while he observed, so he could learn. We were drawing silly pictures, sharing a page and creating stories to accompany them. The Bunni had just begun infiltrating my own imagery as an artist and I drew a rabbit. Our son explained that this character was going to wrestle and eat pizza all day. So I saw him as a strong, but rotund creature and drew what became known as, "Sumo Bunni." It stuck and we pretended to be Sumo wrestling rabbits with 'special voices.'
MICHAEL: Very cool.
SHARI: I thought Sumo Bunni would make a good character to represent an anti-bullying mission. And kids loved him. I had him printed on t-shirts and decals and took him into some art classes I was teaching at the time; using him as an opener to discuss any issues kids might be experiencing regarding bullying. But busy life got busier and the mission fizzled.
In any case, my husband and I choose to share a Facebook account and page and Sumo became our face. Some have referred to me as Bunni Girl, or just Sumo, which frankly, I think is fun. I have noticed that some galleries are requesting to represent me as Sumo Bunni in exhibitions. Not sure I am ready to let go of my name 'name' just yet. However, we are adding, "aka Sumo Bunni," which for now, works for me. And who knows, maybe, I will just be Sumo in the near future.
MICHAEL: Wow. Great story. Okay, now on to your website which is called, "Art In Mind." The name is simple enough, but why did you choose it? Was it more about creating an online gallery with your husband Christian?
SHARI: In 1992, I acquired my first HP, complete with software that I had no knowledge of using such as Photoshop, Pagemaker, Illustrator and a state-of-the-art slide scanner. Remember those days of slides?
MICHAEL: Ugh.
SHARI: Most especially, the internet was a fairly new entity. My father said, "If you want to do something that will make you marketable in the future, become a website designer."
At this point, the goal was to form a company and create an online portfolio. Using another Adobe program, I built our site from scratch - even began teaching myself some coding. The name "Art In Mind" formulated as I considered my style, technique and mission as an artist. Mine is work that gives viewers plenty to consider and feel. The title sounded catchy, it started with an 'A' and I set out for a .com domain. Unfortunately, it had already been secured with the boring intent to re-sell. I considered purchasing, but decided .org would be sufficient. I added my husband's work to the site and we became "Art In Mind Studios."
MICHAEL: Your work is so painterly and fun. I love the ethereal and somewhat "in progress" nature of it and how you take traditional subjects and add whimsy which makes them more accessible. What kinds of reaction do you get to your work?
SHARI: Thank you Michael. I usually find that people take to and become very engaged with my imagery. I have had familiars and strangers tell me that they would be interested in living in my head for even just an hour or a day. There is so much going on in there at all times - maybe overwhelming to step into the vortex. Which made me ponder: What if we could, even for a moment, step into another person's mind and feel everything they feel and know everything they know? Imagine what that would do for humanity?
MICHAEL: Total game changer.
SHARI: I am an intuitive person and intrigued with the psyche. The message or story behind each piece is - depending upon the particular series - calculated or discovered. I do enjoy trusting and allowing 'things' to just happen. Even works that are pre-planned can surprise me later.
The viewer's perspective is a gift. However, I must confess, my least favorite question as an artist is "What were you thinking?" I think so many things. Each piece is a pushing forth of many aspects of me and my observations and personal life experiences. It is often difficult to wrap it up with a bow on top with one tidy thought. I can say things like, "New Beginnings" is about the way we are communicating and mis-communicating as humans. But this does not cover everything that rests within each image of that particular series. If I give it all away, I believe I have removed the viewer's ability to connect with the work on a more personal level or to make discoveries I may have missed.
MICHAEL: You know Shari, I've interviewed more than 300 artists and not one of them has said that they necessarily want people to see their work the same way they see it. For years, I've felt that this is one of the keys to unlocking the fear that people have about contemporary art or art in general, really. Art historians and curators are very important, but at the end of the day, don't people have to get in there and do some of their own thinking about what they're seeing?
SHARI: People most definitely must get in and make their own observations. And they do. But some stop short when faced with contemporary or conceptual work. Even with explanation, I do not believe the viewer can see the art exactly the same way as the artist. But, it is ok not to always understand too. It is ok to see a work of art, not connect, bond or completely 'get it' and then walk away with some blank spots or mystery lingering.
MICHAEL: Yes indeed. When did you first become aware of yourself as an artist? Do you come from an artistic family?
SHARI: My first artistic experience was drawing or rather redecorating/vandalizing the interior of my parents' new station wagon with a box of crayons. I was maybe five.
I began as a dancer, but was forced to take time off around the age of 10 for about a year due to a knee condition with a long name. In that space, I discovered art on a deeper level. My mother was a dancer and godmother a ballerina (who danced with Balanchine) so movement was a prominent art form. My aunt is an artist, but did not reach out to me with her own. My father was always very creative and we would build foam, core structures together. I loved and still do love architecture. It was one thing I thought I might want to study in college, until I learned how much math it would require.
In any event, I was fortunate to be signed up for private art lessons with some amazing mentors and continued into advanced placement high school classes. I was passionate about observational rendering most particularly. I returned to dance, but art stuck and I ended up attending MICA in Baltimore MD, where I happily never had to solve another three-page math problem ever again. I am so grateful that our children are creative and growing up in a creative environment with not one, but two very different studios.
MICHAEL: Are you concerned about having "creative" kids in this hard-driving, digital world where everyone seems to be obsessed with business startups, healthcare and computer code writing? Art careers are tougher than ever. No?
SHARI: Not at all. We encourage our children to find and use their voices, but keep them aware of the financial needs and realities of being a human being. We joke and tell them they will need to make a lot of money to support us when we are old and we have already 'placed our high performance car orders.'
Business start ups require creativity and outside-the-box thinking. Although school continues to channel children across the nation, we give ours ample opportunity and exposure to arts, science, etc., allowing them to grow as individuals in a technological environment. Our kids are incredibly comfortable with computers, portable devices, gaming platforms - though we limit game types and duration. They are also very happy to leave the digital behind and play sports, read, pretend, gallery hop, draw, take workshops, sew, invent, ride bikes...
Personally, I love technology and find myself wishing at times that I had gone into computer science - would have been easier. A career as an artist can be a tough road and depends on what your goals are. Luckily, we can market ourselves much easier, but catch twenty two, more artists are marketing themselves.
Recently on Facebook, I was discussing an article that spoke about how women (this applies to both genders, I believe) expect perfection from themselves; the amount we are juggling and that we must try to be accepting of not being perfect. But in that same article, the writer tells us to go out and be great. And really, what do we leave behind? Everything today seems to sit at the top of the priority list.
MICHAEL: I hear ya.
SHARI: Digital accessibility bombards us with incredible amounts of information and the ability to connect with the entire world in an instant on social media. We are really the first generation coping with a new level of balance in our lives. Job, career, children, social media, digital phones which pile up thousands of emails and pictures in our storage banks. We are also the first parental generation to handle and guide our children as they navigate this vastness. One day at a time.
MICHAEL: Yes indeed. Given all of that, how do you think the art world is changing for the better and worse? What will it take to get more people interested in contemporary art?
SHARI: Hmm. Loaded question. I think a much larger part of society is tuned into and accepting of contemporary art than ever before thanks to the art fair and social media, which is great! The public is invited to a full day's exhibition and privy to a plethora of artistic expression and galleries galore, all under one or more roof. I truly appreciate the freedom we are allowing ourselves today. Like music, dance, theater, fashion, etc., anything goes and we want to see it all; push the limits of subject, material and technique! Some movements do still manage to perplex me though.
The high end fairs are becoming more and more of a feeding frenzy for the rich and/or famous. Everyone wants in. In a way, this seems to be creating a gap between artist, Artist and ARTIST as well as Collector and Artist. Perhaps this is pushing art into a channel. I do not study it and I'm not in the thick of it, just a sense from reading and watching. This is not to say I would complain if I found myself sitting at the top surrounded by a pack of hungry collectors, but I have to question where this is all heading. How many art fairs or anti-art fairs will there be in five years from now? Will there be any point in owning a gallery? I live and breath art and my mission to secure galleries, gallerists and collectors who are passionate about my work will never cease.
MICHAEL: Where are you guys exactly? Are you influenced by your surroundings?
SHARI: Been living in Rhode Island for about 11 years now. No, I can say with the exception of the huge number of rocks in our earth here, the stone walls and rocky beaches, I work independent of our surroundings. We do not live in the city.
I am of course inspired by the art scene that is growing very rapidly here. After moving from Baltimore, leaving behind 16 years of roots and the Maryland Institute College of Art, it felt a bit barren here. We knew no one when we arrived, had a one-year-old and I was pregnant, so not much in the way of connections to the arts. But then, thanks to one friend, who knew one artist, who was working with one city gallery, a spark ignited and the ball began rolling for us in New England.
MICHAEL: As you know Shari, art is such a challenging field, especially for artists. You never know when or if your work will sell. It's just such a nagging issue. Why do this?
SHARI: It is me. There is no choice.
MICHAEL: Finally Shari, What's the point of art? I mean, why should people even care? Art isn't saving the world.
SHARI: Thank you for this opportunity Michael. Art is a vital part of us and life - there is no avoiding it. We are all expressionists; even nature is artistic. It doesn't matter if we are 'Artists' or not. We all have to get stuff out in one way or many ways. Thousands of years ago in caves, there existed … artists. Of course, they had other reasons for putting their beliefs, hopes and thanks on the walls - but it was still expression. Imagining this place without art is impossible, like pondering nothing, nothingness. Maybe art will save the world. Here's hoping, we need all the help we can get!
MICHAEL: Nicely said. Thanks Shari. Cool chat.
SHARI: Many thanks Michael! Been fun!

Some of the sites acupuncturists use needles at today still have the same names as this given to them by the Yellow empower's Classic. 29 :93 Numerous additional documents were published over the centuries introducing new acupoints. 29 :101 By the 4th century AD, most of the acupuncture sites in use today had been named and identified. 29 :101 In the first half of the 1st century AD, acupuncturists began pDomoting the belief that acupuncture's effectiveness was influenced by the time of day or night, the lunar cycle, and the season. 29 :140-141 The Science of the Yin-Yang Cycles yen chi Hsüeh was a set of beliefs flicking, or moving up and down relative to the skin. A woman receiving fire Sun simian published acupuncture-related diagrams and charts that established standardized methods for finding acupuncture sites on people of different sizes and categorized acupuncture sites in a set of modules. 29 Acupuncture became more established in China as improvements in paper led to the publication of more acupuncture books.

Around this time the surgeon-general of the Dutch East India Company met Japanese and Chinese acupuncture practitioners and later encouraged Europeans to further investigate it. 29 :264-265 He published the first in-depth description of acupuncture for the European audience and created the term "acupuncture" in his 1683 work De acupuncture. 269 France was an early adopter among the West due to the influence of Jesuit missionaries, who brought the practice to French clinics in the 16th century. 27 The French doctor Louis Berlioz the father are still unable to find a shred of evidence to support the existence of meridians or C'i", 21 "The traditional principles of acupuncture are deeply flawed, as there is no evidence at all to demonstrate the existence of Ch'i or meridians" 22 and "As yin and yang, acupuncture points and meridians are not a reality, but merely the product of an ancient Chinese philosophy". 23 Tyne, D.; Shenker, N.

The World Health Organization recommends that before being licensed or certified, an acupuncturist receive 200 hours of specialized training if they are a physician and 2,500 hours for non-physicians; or a very weak constitution of the patient can be considered, all of which are thought to decrease the likelihood of successful treatment. amid Ed, 1. year Kyōhō = 1716. The.Judy also includes warnings against practising acupuncture on infants, as well as on children who are over-fatigued, very weak, or have overeaten. 240 When used on children, acupuncture is considered safe when administered by well-trained, licensed practitioners using sterile needles; however, a 2011 review found there was limited research to draw definite conclusions about the overall safety of paediatric acupuncture. 3 The same review found 279 adverse events, 25 of them serious. 3 The adverse events were mostly mild in nature e.g. bruising or bleeding. 3 The prevalence of mild adverse events ranged from 10.1% to 13.5%, an estimated 168 incidences among 1,422 patients. 3 On rare occasions adverse events were serious e.g. cardiac rupture or hemoptysis ; much might have been a result of substandard practice. 3 The incidence of serious adverse events was 5 per one million, which included children and adults. 3 When used during pregnancy, the majority of adverse events caused by acupuncture were mild and transient, with few serious adverse events. 241 The most frequent mild adverse event was needling or unspecified pain, followed by bleeding. 241 Although two deaths one stillbirth and one neonatal death were reported, there was a lack of acupuncture-associated maternal mortality. 241 Limiting the evidence as certain, probable or possible in the causality evaluation, the estimated incidence of adverse events following acupuncture in pregnant women was 131 per 10,000. 241 Although acupuncture is not contraindicated in pregnant women, some specific acupuncture points are particularly sensitive to needle insertion; these spots, as well as the abdominal region, should be avoided during pregnancy. 2 Four adverse events associated with moxibustion were bruising, burns and cellulitis, spinal epidural abscess, and large superficial basal cell carcinoma. 16 Ten adverse events were associated with cupping. 16 The minor ones were keloid scarring, burns, and bullae ; 16 the serious ones were acquired haemophilia A, stroke following cupping on the back and neck, factitious panniculitis, reversible cardiac hypertrophy, and iron deficiency anaemia . 16 A 2013 meta-analysis found that acupuncture for chronic low back pain was cost-effective as a complement to standard care, but not as a substitute for standard care except in cases where co morbid depression presented. 19 The same meta-analysis found there was no difference between sham and non-sham acupuncture. 19 A 2011 systematic review found insufficient evidence for the cost-effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic low back pain. 20 A 2010 systematic review found that the cost-effectiveness of acupuncture could not be concluded. Texts dated to be from 156–186 BC document early beliefs in channels of life force energy called meridians that would later be an element in early acupuncture beliefs. 267 Ramey and quell said the "practice and theoretical underpinnings" of modern acupuncture were introduced in the Yellow Emperor's Classic Huangdi Beijing around 100 BC. 28 267 It introduced the concept of using acupuncture to manipulate the flow of life energy qi in a network of meridian channels in the body. 267 272 The network concept was made up of acu-tracts, such as a line down the arms, where it said acupoints were located. Evidence.rom.he.ody suggests Otzi suffered from these conditions. 30 This has been cited as evidence that practices similar to acupuncture may have been practice elsewhere in Eurasia during the early Bronze Age ; 268 however, The Oxford Handbook of the History of Medicine calls this theory "speculative". 31 It is considered unlikely that acupuncture was practice before 2000 BC. 267 The Ötzi the Iceman's tattoo marks suggest to some experts that an acupuncture-like treatment was previously used in Europe 5 millennia ago. 9 Acupuncture may have been practice during the Neolithic era, near the end of the stone age, using sharpened stones called Brian Shi . 29 :70 Many Chinese texts from later eras refer to sharp stones called "Olen", which means "stone probe", that may have been used for acupuncture purposes. 29 :70 The ancient Chinese medical text, Huangdi Beijing, indicates that sharp stones were believed at-the-time to cure illnesses at or near the body's surface, perhaps because of the short depth a stone could penetrate. pain via the local release of adenosine, which then triggered close-by A1 receptors "caused more tissue damage and inflammation relative to the size of the animal in mice than in humans, such studies unnecessarily muddled a finding that local inflammation can result in the local release of adenosine with analgesic effect." 77 It has been proposed that acupuncture's effects in gastrointestinal disorders may relate to its effects on the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system, which have been said to be the "Western medicine" equivalent of "yin and yang". 263 Another mechanism whereby acupuncture may be effective for gastrointestinal dysfunction involves the promotion of gastric peristalsis in subjects with low initial gastric motility, and suppressing peristalsis in subjects with active initial motility. 264 Acupuncture has also been found to exert anti-inflammatory effects, which may be mediated by the activation of the vague nerve and deactivation of inflammatory macrophages . 265 Neuroimaging studies suggest that acupuncture stimulation results in deactivation of the limbic brain areas and the default mode network . 266 Acupuncture chart from the Ming dynasty c. 1368–1644 Acupuncture, along with moxibustion, is one of the oldest practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 29 Most historians believe the practice began in China, though there are some conflicting narratives on when it originated. 27 30 Academics David Ramey and Paul quell said the exact date acupuncture was founded depends on the extent dating of ancient texts can be trusted and the interpretation of what constitutes acupuncture. 267 According to an article in Rheumatology, the first documentation of an "organized system of diagnosis and treatment" for acupuncture was in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine Huangdi Beijing from about 100 BC. 27 Gold and silver needles found in the tomb of Li Cheng from around 100 BC are believed to be the earliest archaeological evidence of acupuncture, though it is unclear if that was their purpose. 267 According to Dr. The.imperial Medical Service and the Imperial Medical College, which both supported acupuncture, became more established and created medical colleges in every province. 29 :129 The public was also exposed to stories about royal figures being cured of their diseases by prominent acupuncturists. 29 :129–135 By time The Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion was published during the Ming dynasty 1368–1644 AD, most of the acupuncture practices used in the modern era had been established. 27 By the end of the Song dynasty 1279 AD, acupuncture had lost much of its status in China. 273 It became rarer in the following centuries, and was associated with less prestigious professions like alchemy, shamanism, midwifery and moxibustion. 274 while moxibustion was used for chronic diseases . ACM practitioners disagree among themselves about how to diagnose on a rhythm and acupuncture had to be applied at the right point in the rhythm to be effective. 29 :140-141 In some cases a lack of balance between Yin and Yang were believed to be the cause of disease. 29 :140-141 In the 1st century AD, many of the first books about acupuncture were published and recognized acupuncturist experts began to emerge. Over time, the focus shifted from blood to the concept of puncturing specific points on Needles. 48 Japanese acupuncturists use extremely thin needles that are used superficially, sometimes without penetrating the skin, and surrounded by a guide tube a 17th-century invention adopted in China and the West. The US Congress created the Office of Alternative Medicine in 1992 and the National Institutes 238 Acupuncture can pTotentially improve a number of common paediatric issues, including gastrointestinal issues, reflux, colic, asthma, allergies, add, and headaches, 239 however, its safety has been debated. Korean acupuncture uses copper needles and has a greater focus on the hand. 38 The as electrical pulses were found to make a frog's leg twitch after death. 269 The West eventually created a belief system based on travel trigger points that were believed to inhibit pain. It was also during this time that many Eastern medical practices were consolidated under the name Traditional Chinese Medicine ACM. 30 New practices were adopted in the 20th century, such as using a cluster of needles, 29 :164 electrified needles, or leaving needles inserted for up to a week. 29 :164 A lot of emphasis developed 2008. Acupuncture.ote..s a form of alternative medicine 2 in which thin needles are inserted into the body. 3 It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine ACM. 4 ACM theory and practice are not based upon scientific knowledge, 5 and acupuncture is a pseudo-science . 6 7 There is a diverse range of acupuncture theories based on different philosophies, 8 and techniques vary depending on the country. 9 The method used in ACM is likely the most widespread in the US. 2 It is most often used for pain relief, 10 11 though it is also used for a wide range of other conditions. 4 Acupuncture is generally used only in combination with other forms of treatment. 12 The conclusions of many trials and numerous systematic reviews of acupuncture are largely inconsistent. 10 13 An overview of Cochran reviews found that acupuncture is not effective for a wide range of conditions, and it suggests acupuncture may be effective only for chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting, postoperative nausea/vomiting, and idiopathic headache. 13 A systematic review of systematic reviews found little evidence of acupuncture's effectiveness in treating pain. 10 The evidence suggests that short-term treatment with acupuncture does not produce long-term benefits. 14 Some research results suggest acupuncture can alleviate pain, though the majority of research suggests that acupuncture's effects are mainly due to placebo . 9 A systematic review concluded that the analgesic effect of acupuncture seemed to lack clinical relevance and could not be clearly distinguished from bias. 15 Acupuncture is generally safe when done by an appropriately trained practitioner using clean needle technique and single-use needles. 16 17 When properly delivered, it has a low rate of mostly minor adverse effects . 3 16 Accidents and infections are associated with infractions of sterile technique or neglect of the practitioner. 17 A review stated that the reports of infection transmission increased significantly in the prior decade. 18 The most frequently reported adverse events were pneumothorax and infections. 10 Since serious adverse events continue to be reported, it is recommended that acupuncturists be trained sufficiently to reduce the risk. 10 A meta-analysis found that acupuncture for chronic low back pain was cost-effective as an adjunct to standard care, 19 while a systematic review found insufficient evidence for the cost-effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic low back pain. 20 Scientific investigation has not found any histological or physiological evidence for traditional Chinese concepts such as qi, meridians, and acupuncture points, n 1 24 and many modern practitioners no longer support the existence of life force energy qi flowing through meridians, which was a major part of early belief systems. 8 25 26 Acupuncture is believed to have originated around 100 BC in China, around the time The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine Huangdi Beijing was published, 27 though some experts suggest it could have been practice earlier. 9 Over time, conflicting claims and belief systems emerged about the effect of lunar, celestial and earthly cycles, yin and yang energies, and a body's "rhythm" on the effectiveness of treatment. 28 Acupuncture grew and diminished in popularity all the ancient materials that could have been used for acupuncture and which often produce archaeological evidence, such as sharpened bones, bamboo or stones, were also used for other purposes. 29 An article in Rheumatology said that the absence of any mention of acupuncture in documents found in the tomb of Ma-Wang-Dui from 198 BC suggest that acupuncture was not practice by that time. 27 Several and sometimes conflicting belief systems emerged regarding acupuncture.If.e-qi can not be created, then imprecise location of the acupoint, incorrect deepness of needle insertion, poor hand-operated control, 29:71 However, it is most likely that stones were utilized for various other medical objectives, such as piercing a development to drain its pus. 27 30 The Mawangdui texts, which are believed to be from the 2nd century BC, discuss using pointed stones to open abscesses, and also moxibustion, but except acupuncture. 28 It is also hypothesized that these stones may have been made use of for blood-letting, as a result of the ancient Chinese idea that illnesses were triggered by demons within the body that could be killed or launched. 269 It is most likely blood-letting was an antecedent to acupuncture. 30 binning accordance with chroniclers Lu Gwei-djen as well as Joseph Needham, there is significant proof that acupuncture might have started around 600 BC. 29 Some hieroglyphs and pictographs from that age suggests acupuncture and moxibustion were practice. 270 However, historians Gwei-djen and Needham claimed it was not likely a needle could be constructed of the products offered in China during this time period. 29:71 -72 It is possible Bronze was used for early acupuncture needles. Diagrams of the flow of spiritual energy, as an example, Sunlight simian released acupuncture-related diagrams as well as grapes that developed standard approaches for locating acupuncture websites on individuals of various sizes as well as classified acupuncture websites in a collection of modules. 29 Acupuncture came to be a lot more established in China as improvements in paper led to the publication of more acupuncture publications.

Local History Index - Postal
The Postal System in the Wisconsin Territory: Early Milwaukee County; Waukesha County and the Sussex-Lisbon Area
by Mike Reilly, Editor, January 17, 2004, Revised 09/16/2007
also see Post Offices, Postmasters, Mail Carriers and Mail Delivery History for Sussex, Lisbon, Lake Five, Colgate, Templeton and Lannon, Waukesha County, Wisconsin and Postal Finder lists postmasters of other nearby communities
While still part of the Michigan Territory, the appointment of a postmaster and the opening of a real post office marked an important epoch in Milwaukee, soon to be the Wisconsin Territory. At the time of Solomon Juneau's appointment as first postmaster in December 1834, operating out of his building on Wisconsin and East Water Streets, mail was received from Green Bay, or Chicago on a very irregular delivery schedule.
The first mail was brought from Green Bay by a half-breed names John Baptiste Lavigne, who on foot, carried sixty to seventy pounds of mail, stopping in Milwaukee on his way to Chicago.
Postage for letters varied between six to twenty-five cents, depending on their size and distance traveled. There were no envelopes or postage stamps in use at this early time. The postage was collected, in cash, at the place where, and of the person to whom, the parcel was delivered. Needless to say, often it wasn't paid for, consequently not delivered.
The mail arrived in Milwaukee once a month at first from Chicago (and other places). At first letters were kept in small, blue colored boxes, but as the Milwaukee area population grew, their use soon became impractical. There weren't any post offices west of Milwaukee until 1837 when David Jackson was appointed postmaster of Prairieville (later Waukesha). All mail matter for the large tract of Milwaukee County, west as far as the Rock River was handled, assorted and distributed at Milwaukee.
Over the next ten years or so, mail was received in Milwaukee in various manner: by foot, horseback, stage, boat, and railroad. Private contractors, for pay or not, often carried the mail to make up for the federal government's lack of regular delivery. Not until 1846, when Milwaukee was incorporated as a city, did the U. S. government provide mail delivery on a regular basis.
In Prairieville, postmaster David Jackson, received his appointment about January 1837. Jackson had come permanently to Prairieville in early 1836, after locating a claim in 1835. There was no post office at first; that is not even the usual blue box furnished by the Government had been provided for Mr. Jackson, and when the packages became so numerous that he could not carry them in his pocket, or the crown of his hat, Mrs. Jackson, put them in a brightly scoured tin pan and hoisted the pan safely to the top shelf. She also kept her husband's pockets in excellent repair, putting a button on the one in which Mr. Jackson brought the mail from Milwaukee. Sometimes he went on foot; sometimes on horseback, and sometimes he sent by the neighbors. The post office in those days was not a political machine, and was not much of a machine anyway.
By 1843, the area, later called Waukesha County (created on January 31, 1846), contained the following post offices; Delafield, Menomonee Falls, Muskego, Mequanigou (now Mukwonago), New Berlin, St. Marie's, Summit, and Vernon. Oconomowoc, which was the second largest community in 1880, was not even large enough at this time to have a post office.
For the settlers in the Town of Lisbon, mail was probably first picked up at the Milwaukee post office, then later retrieved from Prairieville. Even though Solomon Juneau's early post office, and subsequent Milwaukee postmasters had mail carriers, of sorts, they may have only delivered directly to Prairieville for further distribution to smaller area post offices.
On January 1, 1851, Waukesha County contained the post offices of : Big Bend, Brookfield, Bullion*, Delafield, Denoon*, Eagleville*, Genesee, Gold Lake, Hartland, Howards*, Lisbon, Mapleton, Marcy, Menomonee Falls, Merton, Monches, Monterey, Mukwonago, Muskego Center, Oconomowoc, Okauchee*, Ottawa, Pewaukee, Prospect Hill, South Genesee, Summit, Sussex, Vernon, Waterville, and Waukesha.
*Discontinued before 1880
By 1880, the county had thirty-seven post offices, after starting with the one in 1837. Where Postmaster Jackson had carried or sent the mail to Milwaukee once each week, if there was any to send, and on his return brought back whatever mail there was directed to the only office in the county. Now (in 1880) the county (meaning through the Waukesha post office ?) sends and receives more than one hundred mail bags per day.
The next two articles indicate that at some time, the mail for the Sussex post office was brought from the Pewaukee office, through the Waukesha office. When mail was received directly from Waukesha to Sussex is unknown but may have begun as late as 1886.
Lisbon news - "Our worthy mail carrier, T. Lewis, is looking very downcast either over the dry weather, or because the mail arrives at Sussex Station on the Wisconsin Central". Source: Waukesha Freeman, Sept. 2, 1886, page 8.
The T. Lewis is the same Tommy Lewis talked of in the articles below in the early 1880's. The mail was then being delivered by way of the Wisconsin Central railway at what was first the East Sussex Depot, later to be named Templeton.
There was a Thomas Lewis living in 1880 Town of Lisbon according to that year's census, see below:

Here are some of the skills that your son will be doing at the young age of 2.

text: Teaching kids to be good writers starts a long time before test prep starts. I tell teachers that we have to think about writing like we think about driving. If we're teaching somebody to be a good driver, we don't take him/her out to practice in the road test area. In fact, in some towns, the road test area is closed to all but those taking the test. No, we teach that young driver to drive on the highway, on back roads, in the rain. We teach him to park and make turns and orchestrate looking in the rear view mirror, with watching what's up ahead, all while maintaining proper speed. We teach that person how to drive well in any kind of situation. Then, when she has to take the test, she passes because she knows how to drive, not navigate the few miles the road test covers.

final - Constant declaration. Refer Q27 in Java section.
finally - handles exception. The finally block is optional and provides a mechanism to clean up regardless of what happens within the try block (except System.exit(0) call). Use the finally block to close files or to release other system resources like database connections, statements etc.
finalize() - method helps in garbage collection. A method that is invoked before an object is discarded by the garbage collector, allowing it to clean up its state. Should not be used to release non-memory resources like file handles, sockets, database connections etc because Java has only a finite number of these resources and you do not know when the garbage collection is going to kick in to release these non-memory resources through the finalize() method.

Muscle Mass Tips-Gain Huge Muscles by NOT Over-Training
In every single article and web page I have created on bodybuilding/muscle gain, you will probably notice that no matter what the subject, I will at some point mention the extreme importance of plenty of quality rest, proper nutrition, etc..and for a very important reason:your body's recuperation.
We train our bodies, and then they must recuperate to grow huge muscles so we get lot's of rest and plenty of good, quality nutrients; right?
But at the same time many trainees either forget or just don't realize is that even though over-training, or central nervous system fatigue, is certainly possible; it occurs far less often than many of them believe!
Many lifters simply have no idea just how much stress their bodies can tolerate or how quickly their bodies can recover.
A friend of mine named Kevin who was a professional body sculpting coach once told me: "How much muscle mass I can help you gain depends on how much pain you can endure". Kevin knew he would be able to train me with the EXACT right workload, then ensure proper recuperation with lot's of rest and nutrients; resulting in quickly gaining lean muscle.
So the real point which is being made here is that rarely is the body's ability to handle punishment the real issue at hand. More often than not it is simply a factor of UNDER-RECOVERY which may be caused by a number of factors: not getting enough rest, training while sick, not eating enough, showing off lifting heavy weights, not taking care of minor aches/pains when they occur, not following a program which allows for tiny, yet consistent gains in strength/muscle.
And unfortunately, these are all VERY COMMON mistakes made by the majority of people trying to build huge muscles. If you take care of these problems and keep them in check; you will be seeing awesome gains in lean muscle mass in NO TIME!
Sick and tired of being skinny and out of shape? Learn the secrets of how to build muscle mass in the shortest time possible… Without drugs, without special supplements and without spending countless hours in the gym!
Did You Know: 95% of people who start a muscle building program will NEVER see any significant results!
Go to http://www.squidoo.com/musclemasstips
to learn how to avoid these fatal muscle building mistakes and finally have the ripped, rock-solid physique you work so hard for…

Microsoft Re-Releases Windows October 2018 Update
Microsoft hasnt had a great time with Windows 10 in 2018.

Alan Murchison reveals details of two new 10 in 8 restaurants
Speaking exclusively to BigHospitality following his involvement in last week's live chocolate masterclass, the Scottish-born restaurateur stated that the new sites have already been secured, meaning he is still on track to achieve his goal for 10 in 8 – to operate 10 Michelin star restaurants within eight years.
"We're just about to go live with restaurant number five and we've got number six coming on later in the year," said Murchison. "We just consolidated the Group last year and didn't open any new sites. But we've got both of these new venues secured already.
"One is not far away from here (speaking from Banbury, Oxfordshire), and one is by the sea. But I can't say anything more just yet. I'm also looking at doing some refurbishment work at l'ortolan again this summer.
10 in 8 inspiration
Speaking of his initial decision to launch 10 in 8 with business partner Richard Pursey in 2008, Murchison explained: "It wasn't a vanity project from my point of view. It was plain and simply responding to the needs of the team that work for me.
"My staff told me that they wanted to earn recognition in the industry, along with training and personal development and the possibility of achieving a Michelin star. And that's where the inspiration came from."
The other four restaurants within the 10 in 8 portfolio are:
- L'ortolan, Reading (Michelin star)
- Paris House, Bedfordshire (Michelin star)
- La Bécasse, Ludlow (lost Michelin star last year)
- The Angel, Dartmouth (no Michelin star, opened in January 2011)
Consistency and quality
Following the recent sale of Ilia restaurant in Chelsea and claims from the head chef at fine dining restaurant Blummyz that the newly opened site is failing to attract customers, Murchison – who has had stints at Claridges, Nobu and Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons - believes that high-end restaurants need to be focusing on consistency and a quality product if they are to succeed in the current climate.
"Top end, fine dining restaurants need to be providing an experience which you can't replicate at home," he added. "So if you've got a weak product, you will always be looking over your shoulder.
"None of my restaurants are in prime locations - I've got a restaurant in Reading, one that's halfway up a mountain in-between Birmingham and Wales, and one in the outskirts of Milton Keynes – that's hardly Kensington and Mayfair.
"I'd rather have a bus shelter in Slough serving Michelin-starred food than a sandwich bar in Kensington. People will go to a brilliant product - a brilliant location doesn't guarantee you success if you've got a mediocre product."
Alan Murchison starred alongside pastry chef Will Torrent in the live and interactive chocolate masterclass last Friday, in what was the first event of its kind for BigHospitality. A full re-run of the day's action can be watched for free here
