Sunshine and Snow
We have been having the wackiest weather ever! This weekend we had snow, sun and rain all in the same day. Strange indeed! As soon as I saw the sun out I put on a summer dress went outside, froze my ass off and took some pictures. Sunshine does not equal warm in the winter does it, oh well I'll take it anyway.
How cute is the top of this dress?
I found this thrifting for $3.
I love the back!
I'm freezing here~ beauty is pain!
Rainbow ring from my sweet
Pink bracelets from the beautiful
Believe it or not I'm a natural redhead.
Fabulous headpiece inspired by the luscious
and just because she is gorgeous and I love her way more than sunshine here is a picture of my Mom!
Mom you look amazing and I am happy to inspire a woman who loves me no matter what!

I really do love being me!!!!!
Well dolls it's Friday and I am so excited to tell you that I BOUGHT OUR TICKETS TO LONDON!!!!!! Yes it is true that in September my big American smile and sherbet sunshiny hair will be in the UK. I really can't stop doing the happy dance!!!! HAPPY DANCE!!!!
This is the face of pure BLISS!
I'm pretty sure this outfit is too!
Do you see that the sun finally came out, it's a GLORIOUS day!
I bought this necklace over a year ago on Etsy I can't find the seller anymore but this is what sparked my interest in making jewelry, isn't it tasty!
Are you sick of my flowers yet, I can't help wearing them, I feel like a QUEEN!
This belt is really a scarf.
Crazy Ash!
The religious bracelet is from my sweet
. What do you think of this pink cuff, you should see it sparkle in the sun.
The light I bought must be working I have been getting up super early and doing an hour of Zumba before work. I feel so alive!!! I hope everyone is finding something to smile about today!

I am free to be me!
When I first moved to Oregon 6 years ago I loved going dancing. My favorite music to dance to then was Bhangra a sort of Indian hip hop. I also loved wearing things that sparkled on the dance floor, this shirt was a favorite.
The blue necklace was my Grandma's and the other was Grandma Barbaras. I love them both!
Another kick ass floral creation. I buy the flowers and headband at the 99 cent store so they really only cost a few bucks to make several. Do you ladies have the 99 cent store in the UK and Australia?
I may be all smiles in these photos but today I'm sad. The world lost two journalists today in Syria: Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik. While I write about fashion and shopping these two were risking their lives on the front line to bring us images and stories about people fighting for basic freedoms. People like this are selfless and deserve to be honored for caring more about others than themselves.
"Our mission is to speak the truth to power," she said. "We send home that first rough draft of history. We can and do make a difference in exposing the horrors of war and especially the atrocities that befall civilians." Marie Colvin
These are some of the images Remi Ochlik has snapped with his camera and a whole lot of bravery.
It appears Syria is on the brink of Civil war.

Its official Chris and I are heading to the UK in September! I can't believe it! We are both pretty gobsmacked! What? I'm trying to learn some British slang!! London, Scotland and Ireland I can't wait to be in you! This weekend I picked up a few books and Vix and I had a little Skype about it, it's going to be the best year of my life I'm sure of it! I hope I get a chance to meet most of you, and give you the biggest squeeze EVER and perhaps throw back a few.
Plenty of time to read before we travel.
I wish I could take Peetee with me!
Another killer floral creation!
Life is pretty fab right now!
I wanted to let you all know I am still using my light and getting great results, I have way more energy it's so obvious! The light was pretty expensive at about $139 but I can't put a price on how good it is making me feel. I also wanted to give you all a nice warning about PASSWORDS. I recently had my iTunes account stolen, some Chinaman cracked my password which was an easy one. Luckily I quit using the same password for everything a few months back, otherwise they would've had access to my bank account. That is some scary shit!!! My advice is to use a program like
to make sure you are protected. Don't wait until it's too late. Anyway, have a lovely week all!

My pressing engagement ~O O~
I'm happy to report that the mammogram wasn't that bad after all, what the heck was I afraid of anyway? My girls are just fine and I will have no problem doing this every year from now on. I also checked out a new independent gym right by my house and I love it, I'll join up the first of March as I'm still getting better at Zumba and can't wait to take a proper class. After yesterdays rant, it's reassuring to hear that we all feel our power as a consumer and that with a bit of conscious effort we can show these big corporations that enough is enough. I am learning so much from you guys!
In other news, I've had a hard time lately with the total lack of sunshine, it makes me feel like the skeleton bride in this drawing a dear friend did for me years ago. By the time I'm done with work and making dinner I am exhausted, the fact that it's already dark out doesn't help either. A friend of mine recommended a full spectrum light. Hmmmm.
After doing a bit of research I found this
by Philips to be rated the highest in customer satisfaction it specifically transmits blue light and is designed to help fight winter blues. It's small packs a punch and has a rechargeable battery so no annoying cord for the cats to attack.
I know it doesn't look like much but I could feel the effect immediately. I am using it twice a day once in the AM for 15 minutes and another in the afternoon for 15 more, its like coffee but better. Last night for the first time in a long time I actually found myself full of energy and out late running around. I'll keep you all posted but I have high hopes that this just might make these long dark days a bit more tolerable. Has anyone else ever given these a try?
Have a great weekend whatever you find yourself doing!

Boobies and Evil Corporations
I figured that would get your attention :) I have my first ever mammogram today, I am not looking forward to getting my boobs squished, but it is a necessary thing at my age. Please say a lil boobie prayer for me today.
I also won't bore you with the juicy details that left me storming out of LA Fitness (the evil corporation that bought my small gym and closed it) but I can tell you that enough is enough!!! The only power I have as a consumer is to not give companies like this my money! I would rather bench press soup cans in my basement than help another company that thinks bigger equals better. Pretty soon there will be no choices left, one gym, one cable company, one grocery store, this is what I fear most. 2012 is the year I take a stand and put my money where my mouth is. If you are an evil big corporation, you are poison to me and I will not drink the koolaid anymore. Shame on all you greedy people only concerned with making more money and providing consumers with less.
Normal pretty girl stuff to resume soon, right now I'm livid!

"Feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly"
My sweet followers, have I told you how much I love you? I love you more than warm chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream, more than crisp french fries dipped in ranch dressing, and more than this little blog could ever convey. You make me a better me. Will you be my Valentine?
I feel like Frida Kahlo with my beautiful floral creation.
This kiss is just for you!
I'm bringing pretty back!
This dress is a recent thrift store find and was only $5.
Just because winter is dark and gray doesn't mean I have to be.
I can't wait to wear the others!!!! I hope you all feel the love today and everyday.

Talking Squawk, the official "Squawk Box" blog, provides tidbits, insights, and some sarcastic reflections on the WEEK THAT WAS and the WEEK TO COME from the notepad of the show's senior executive producer.
Talking Squawk, the official "Squawk Box" blog, provides tidbits, insights, and some sarcastic reflections on the WEEK THAT WAS and the WEEK TO COME from the notepad of the show's senior executive producer.
Data deluge
It was a literal flood of economic numbers this week, ending with Friday's employment report.
The government said the U.S. economy added another 162,000 nonfarm jobs in July—a number that missed expectations of 183,000. The nation's unemployment rate slipped to 7.4 percent, a shade below the predicted 7.5 percent. (story)
On Wednesday, we got a better-than-expected private payrolls report from ADP showing 200,000 jobs in July and a better-than-expected 1.7 percent GDP growth rate in the second quarter. (story)
All of which brings us back to the only real question the market cares about right now: Can the economy grow on its own after the Fed takes away the punch bowl? Pimco's Mohamed El-Erian told CNBC on Thursday the Fed's tapering is "almost a given" this year, but there won't be enough economic growth to justify the reduction. (story and video)
Ack is back
Move over Carl Icahn, Bill Ackman is back! Squawk co-host Becky Quick and CNBC's hedge fund specialist Maneet Ahuja (follow her @WallStManeet) broke the news this week that Ackman's Pershing Square has taken a 9.8 percent stake in Air Products & Chemicals. The stake, which cost Ackman $2.2 billion, is the biggest initial investment Pershing Square has ever made. (story and video)
And the breaking news didn't stop there. While Becky and Maneet had Ackman on the phone, they also managed to get him to comment on his thus-far-problematic Herbalife short. (story and video)
Comcastic Results!
Our mothership, Comcast, reported better-than-expected earnings on Wednesday, and Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts told us the timing of the decision by Comcast to buy out the rest of NBCUniversal "looks great" so far.
Here's our interview with our very handsome boss. Did I kiss-up enough? (story and video)
'Night of the Living Fed'
As the week went on, we became more convinced that nothing was going to come from this week's FOMC meeting, which of course proved true. This forced us to find other ways to entertain ourselves. In Squawk co-host Joe Kernen's case this often leads to zombie references, which sparked a mini in-house contest for the best Federal Reserve-zombie headline. Winner: "Night of the Living Fed," which beat out "The Walking Fed" and "Evil Fed." (story and video)
Summers vs. Yellen vs. Kernen?
Of course, the other Fed story of the week was the building fantasy-WrestleMania match between Janet Yellen and Larry Summers in the contest to succeed Ben Bernanke as Fed chairman. Joe has been all over this story. So the guys in the control room gave us a glimpse of what a Kernen candidacy might look like. (It could be his secret hope that somebody throws his hat in the ring.)
'Moron of the Week Award' goes to…
Yours truly! Evidenced by my Tweet early this week:
How did I top dropping my iPhone in Barnegat Bay ystdy? How about running over my iPad today!? @appletweets #moron pic.twitter.com/Ga6RqW5rTN
(Yes, just in case you didn't catch that, I managed to drop my iPhone in the bay while playing with my daughters in a kayak, followed less than 24 hours later by running over my iPad after I left it on the roof of the minivan while loading my 2-year-old son in the car seat on the way to the town pool. Stay back; I'm becoming a health hazard.)
Surface observation
Transition my iPad stupidity to what's wrong with Microsoft. This week we learned that Mr. Softee is officially losing money on its Surface tablets.
Case in point, I had just ran over my iPad but when asked by our ultra-geek star intern, John Torrisi, if I would consider a Surface tablet because they are practically giving them away for under $300, I shake him off like he's crazy.
Two hours later, I was spotted in an Apple store literally holding my wallet open and asking them to hook it up to the vacuum cleaner. Then $875 later, I can now once again surf the YouTube channel in style for Elmo videos to keep my son quiet. It's official; I'm an idiot!
The Apprentice
Bill Rancic (follow him on Twitter @BillRancic) won the first season of NBC's "The Apprentice" with Donald Trump. Now, he's teaming up with Intuit in a new campaign to give small businesses a big push to the next level. (video)
Hot Wheels
Got an extra $2.3 million lying around? Let's pretend! Then maybe I can interest you in a new Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse? (Maybe it's time to trade in my 1997 Suburban!) We're talking 1,200 horsepower and a speedometer that goes to 280 mph (although so far its top speed has been clocked at 254 mph).
We had one right outside the set this week for a test drive. But before you buy, you might want to check with your insurance company to see about the "potential slight rise in your premium." (story and video)
'Squawkward moments'
Becky: "David [Faber] did report earlier this week that Air Products could be the company Bill Ackman was taking a stake in."
Joe: "Really?"
David: "Yeah, you go home after the show and don't watch 'Squawk on the Street.'"
Becky: "We'll that's not true, Joe does LIKE to WATCH!"
Becky Braveheart Quick: CNBC unscripted
Becky spent a few minutes with CNBC's own media relations guru @BrianWSteel talking "Braveheart," "The Hobbit" and my personal number one movie of all time, "Jaws"! (video)
Dog days
Becky: "Take a look at shares of the major fertilizer producers. All down double-digit percentages on news Russia's Uralkali quit the world's largest potash cartel, heralding a price war among companies that produce the key fertilizer ingredient."
Joe: "A price war in the fertilizer sector? Holy Shih-TZU!"
Tweets of Note
From @beckyquickcnbc:
Didn't think anyone could do a better job than Upton Sinclair of making me NOT want to eat a burger. But @rosswestgate did this AM
(This was in response to a report by Ross Westgate on the British development of a 'stem cell burger'. OK, that's officially gross!)
Ben White (a.k.a. @morningmoneyben):
In personal news, I've agreed to become a formal contributor to @CNBC with some special digital content as well. Stay tuned!
(Love it! Now we can officially torture Ben in Squawk style by making even more fun of his non-Google Glass glasses and calling him at all hours of the day and night just to tell him his appearance the next day will probably be canceled due to more important news.)
Hair Nation (courtesy of Squawk Director @pauldefabo and our technical director @Keith_Falcone who's holding steady at 5 whole followers. Wow Keith, you must be the life of the party!)
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Teresa Giudice and Giuseppe "Joe" Giudice made the front page of the New York tabloids this week due to allegations of a serious federal fraud rap. This, of course, got Joe talking about it on the show. The next thing you know, the control room made its own version.

De-Sludging ASP.NET Pages with PageAdapter
You know what VIEWSTATE is? It's that encrypted gobbley-gook in a hidden field that makes stateless web pages (in ASP.NET) keep track of a page for each user between round trips to the server. VIEWSTATE is what keeps track of the text you put in a TextBox. VIEWSTATE is what keeps track of events that need to fire. And, VIEWSTATE is a lot of scrambled eggs that goes back and forth between each client and your server (or servers).
By now, you have probably heard that one should disable VIEWSTATE in ASP.NET applications for static content or when you know you don't need it. This is a tip for improving performance. For static web sites, this is a good tip. For dynamic websites—applications—VIEWSTATE is pretty hard to do without. However, this doesn't mean you have to card it around with each page.
Implementing a Custom PageAdapter
The web scales because each client gets its data and disconnects. Things such as Session ID, cookies, and VIEWSTATE help web servers figure out what to do when a page is posted back. Content-only (or content-mostly) sites like http://www.softconcepts.com don't really need a lot of state information, so it can be turned off to improve performance a bit. Further, sites like mine can use page caching to get a little better performance.
By implementing a custom PageAdapter, you can use VIEWSTATE but ASP.NET will use the Session ID and automatically keep and track VIEWSTATE on the server for each user. Complex web applications with a lot of viewstate will render a little faster and run a little snappier. To implement, simply add a class with the code in Listing 1 to your web application (and you will need a .Browser file, covered in the next section.)
Listing 1: To use VIEWSTATE but leave it on the server, add a class file with the following code.
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Public Class MyPageAdapter Inherits System.Web.UI.Adapters.PageAdapter Public Overrides Function GetStatePersister() _ As System.Web.UI.PageStatePersister Return New SessionPageStatePersister(Me.Page) End Function End Class
Visual Studio will add the code in Listing 1 to the App_Code folder.
Adding a .Browser File to Your Website
Next, you need to tell your web application that you have added a PageAdapter. Select your web project, choose Add New Item, and select the Browser File applet (see Figure 1). Listing 2 shows the default content and the <controlAdapters> tag for MyPageAdapter.
Click here for a larger image.
Figure 1: An easy item to miss, adding a Browser File lets you tell your web application about PageAdapters.
Listing 2: The .browser file—it can be named anything—containing default information added by the template and the tags added used to load myPageAdapter.

Xbox Power Cord Recall Notice
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games
Microsoft has issued a recall notice on the power cord of Xbox consoles made before Jan. 13, 2004 in Continental Europe, and units made for the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003 - Xbox's built after those days were built in such a way that the failure does not occur. The recall is due to a defect on some boxes that lead to minor singe burns and scorched carpets or entertainment centers. According to reports to Microsoft's customer service and warranty repair data, the failure rate is about 1 in 10,000 units. That may seem like a small percentage, but why take the chance? Xbox owners may order a replacement through the Xbox website or by calling the toll free number for their respective country.

"What goes around comes around", "karma", and "Law of Attraction" generally refer to the same thing. If you are looking for evidence of retribution and divine punishment, you will likely find it because that is the way LoA works. The energy of thought focused on strong emotion creates a harmony and affinity for that which is held with consistency. It creates its own experience. If you focus on punishment, you will be creating it for yourself.What about in this life, would you say that you know what goes around comes around, somehow?
The underlying perspective is fear - likely over something you've done. Such fear is often debilitating. I see this as an inaccurate understanding. As extensions of a loving and benevolent Creator, we too are creators. Our thoughts and our focus of attention is the creative framework for all that we experience.
It seems wiser to ask questions concerning how love and open exploration rule the greater reality, and this world, than how we are going to get punished for missteps. Sure, the punishment can appear to be there, but only because we create the conditions and the experience through our own self-judgment, rather than seeing our actions in the context of growing through the choices we make in an atmosphere of Divine unconditional love. There is no God of hate, or God of anger, meeting out punishment over the endless choices we make through the ignorance of our conditioned thinking. There is only unconditional love from a benevolent creator eternally exploring the infinite possibilities in Life.
Give yourself a break. The only judgment that matters (made material) is that that you foist upon yourself. Life can be beautiful. You are a valued aspect of an infinite Creator. You have nothing to fear from a loving God. Explore lovingness. Make it central to your life experience and your life experience will blossom into the evolving beauty that it can be.

The federal agency responsible for highway safety has thrown down a challenge to states: Tighten your laws on electronic devices in the car, or more accidents will happen.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) can't dictate policies all by itself, but on Tuesday its five members issued a unanimous recommendation that talking, texting, or checking e-mail while driving should be banned everywhere in the United States.
This appeal for safety comes as the American public has been growing increasingly accustomed to using their gadgets almost anytime, anyplace – on airplanes, in movie theaters, even in their sleep. And, yes, while rolling down roads in cars and trucks.
So where do state laws stand now?
No state has laws as tough as what the NTSB urges.
For instance, even the nine states that prohibit all drivers from using hand-held phones will allow calls to occur hands-free, such as on speakerphone, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The five-member NTSB board said bans should extend to hands-free calls.
According to a chart of state laws compiled by the institute, California is the only state with a limit on hands-free use: The state bars young drivers from that activity.
Current laws are tougher on texting. Some 35 states ban the practice of sending and reading text messages while driving, and two more states will join that group over the next four months.
A number of other states have partial texting bans covering new drivers or drivers of school buses and public transit vehicles. Similarly, many states have partial bans on chatting via hand-held phone, on young drivers, or on people like bus drivers.
Beyond the laws themselves lies the issue of enforcement. Traffic-safety experts say many drivers ignore the bans, particularly for texting. "So far it appears that drivers, especially young adults, largely shrug off texting bans," the IIHS says. By comparison, all-driver bans on talking have had more impact on behavior.
The NTSB acknowledged that persuading states to tighten laws and step up enforcement won't be easy.
"We're not here to win a popularity contest," NTSB chairwoman Deborah Hersman said Tuesday. "No e-mail, no text, no update, no call is worth a human life."
A possible ban on hands-free phone use may be particularly controversial for US motorists. Using a head-set or speakerphone currently gives US drivers the chance to do some communicating from their cars while obeying state laws.
Yet safety research by psychologist David Strayer and others at the University of Utah has found that hands-free calls appear to be highly distracting – just as hazardous as driving with a phone in your hand.
The mental distraction is the key problem, they find, rather than whether both hands are free.
One case in point: The NTSB concluded that one probable cause of a 2004 motor coach crash "was the use of a hands-free cell phone, resulting in cognitive distraction; therefore, the driver did not 'see' the low bridge warning signs."
For whatever reasons, some researchers say phone calls are more distracting than conversations with fellow passengers in the car. (For one thing, passengers can help the driver keep tabs on traffic conditions.)
By the way, it's not that other in-car behaviors aren't risks: There may not be laws against it, but other behavior by drivers can be distracting, from looking at maps to eating, or operating a CD player.
Current cell phone bans. The states that bar drivers from using hand-held phones are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. Come January, Nevada will become an 10th state to do this.
Texting. Since most states have bans in place, here's a list of states that will not have a texting ban in place as of next March: Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia.

Something for the Weekend...
A dubstep symphony
Venturing into the wackier end of the classical music spectrum this week, there's this offering from electronic music act, Nero: a Dubstep symphony.
Dubstep is characterized by heavy bass, short repeated clips of drums and melodies, with occasional vocals – not, perhaps, an obvious bed-fellow for the classical symphony.
But nevertheless Nero, an electronic music duo, was commissioned by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra to create a symphony which used elements of the dubstep genre.
They worked on the piece with composer and conductor Joe Duddell to create their symphony which was broadcast on Radio 1 on 6 June. Curious? You can hear - and watch - the results on the BBC Radio 1 website.
Have a good weekend!

X Games SnoCross dominator Tucker Hibbert has a lot on his mind this week in Aspen, seeing as he's going for a six-peat in his discipline -- an unprecedented accomplishment for any winter X Games athlete, should he nab it. His training program to get to this level has been so intense, in fact, that he hasn't even had time to get his hair cut -- for 15 years. (Seriously. Ask his wife.)
How convenient that there's a barbershop right here at X Games Aspen.
Uncle Jack's Parlor, part of the X Games STYLE program, is located just looker's right of the Summit Express lift at Buttermilk Mountain -- complete with striped pole. There's also a setup in the VIP area and one in the Athlete Lounge. Inside, professional shearers will give you a fade, carve your favorite sports team's logo into your dome (and spray-color it), get you dialed with a hot-lather shave or, as in Hibbert's case, just clean up your buzz cut.
For free.
"Basically, the barbers have been spreading their wings and doing a lot of events like this," says Barber Authority's Jason Raposo -- who wielded the clippers for Hibbert's cut -- about how the parlor concept came together. "A good friend of mine, Steve from Sims Barber Shop, who does a lot of Lollapalooza and rock tours, he'd reached out to ESPN ... and they chose us to be the elite team of barbers from all over the United States to meet up here and cut hair for the X Games guys."
Raposo, who hails from West Haven, Conn., runs a barber academy in his hometown and also has a 22-chair barber facility. Being a barber, he says, means he's bad with names, but great with haircuts. Nonetheless, we suspect he won't forget Hibbert's name anytime soon.
"I'm just starting to become an X Games fan," says Raposo. "I feel the energy here and it's beautiful, but when they told me that [Hibbert's], like, a six-time gold medalist and that he runs stuff over here, I was really honored to cut his hair. He was really humble. And I cut [hair for] a couple people in his entourage, and it was just a great experience."
But was it a good time for Hibbert? We caught up with him to get the scoop on his man-spa experience.
ESPN.com: So, we hear this is your first professional haircut in 15 years. Is that true?
Tucker Hibbert: [Laughs.] Yeah, that's true. Embarrassingly, I cut my own hair all the time, which saves me time and money. I'm not too much of a style-y, fancy guy, so I'm okay with just buzzing my hair.
So what made you decide to go over to Uncle Jack's Parlor and have somebody else do it for you?
Well, the whole plan was to get my dad a haircut, because he hasn't cut his hair in about eight months and it's getting, like, really out of control. So we kinda came up with a plan that we would get him to go to the VIP lounge by telling him that there was lots of good food that he could eat, and then we were gonna guide him over to get his hair cut -- and it backfired completely.
He got kinda mad and then left and didn't get his hair cut. [Laughs.] Apparently he likes his long hair, so me and a couple other guys from the team decided we should just get our hair cut since we were there.
Who else got their hair cut with you?
Paul and Rob, a couple of mechanics on our race team. They decided they needed a little tune-up, so we all got our hair cut and a shave and we're ready for the weekend. We're dialed in.
Old-fashioned hot towel [shave] -- it was the real deal. It was actually pretty cool; I'd consider going back. Maybe Sunday right before the SnoCross finals I can get a little freshen-up. [Laughs.]
Did they get any designs or anything? You just got a straight buzz, right?
I'm pretty much just standard buzz, one-and-a-half guard. One guy got steps above his ears -- you know, the old-school steps on the side?
Like train tracks?
Exactly. So he got a little style, a little flair, but I'm pretty mellow. Reserved.

Berthe Morisot (January 14, 1841 - March 2, 1895) was a painter and a member of the circle of painters in Paris who became known as the Impressionists. Undervalued for over a century, possibly because she was a woman, she is now considered among the first league of Impressionist painters.
In 1864, she exhibited for the first time in the highly esteemed Salon de Paris. Sponsored by the government, and judged by academicians, the Salon was the official, annual exhibition of the Academie des beaux-arts in Paris. Her work was selected for exhibition in six subsequent Salons until, in 1874, she joined the "rejected" Impressionists in the first of their own exhibitions, which included Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Alfred Sisley. It was held at the studio of the photographer Nadar.
She became the sister-in-law of her friend and colleague, Edouard Manet, when she married his brother, Eugene.
Morisot was born in Bourges, Cher, France into a successful bourgeois family. Both she and her sister, Edma Morisot, chose to become painters. Once Berthe Morisot settled on pursuing art, her family did not impede her career. She was born into a family that, according to family tradition, had included one of the most prolific Rococo painters of the ancien regime, Fragonard, whose handling of color and expressive, confident brushwork influenced later painters. By age twenty, she had met and befriended the important, and pivotal, landscape painter of the Barbizon School, Camille Corot, who excelled in figure painting as well.
The older artist instructed Berthe and her sister in painting and introduced them to other artists and teachers. Under Corot's influence, Morisot took up the plein air method of working. As art students, Berthe and Edma worked closely together until Edma married, had children, and no longer had time to paint so intensely as Berthe. Letters between them show a loving and cordial relationship, underscored by Berthe's regret at the distance between them and about Edma's withdrawal from painting. Edma wholeheartedly supported Berthe's continued work and the families of the two sisters always remained close.
Morisot's first appearance in the Salon de Paris came at the age of twenty-three in 1864, with the acceptance of two landscape paintings. She continued to show regularly in the Salon, to generally favorable reviews, until 1873, the year before the first Impressionists exhibition.
Meanwhile, in 1868 Morisot became acquainted with Edouard Manet. He took a special interest in Morisot, as is evident from his warm portrayal of her in several paintings, including a striking portrait study of Morisot in a black veil, while in mourning for her father's death (displayed at the top of the article). Correspondence between them bespeaks affection. He once gave her an easel as a Christmas present. He also interfered in one of her Salon submissions when he was engaged to transport it. Manet mistook one of Morisot's self-criticisms as an invitation to add his corrections, which he did, much to Morisot's dismay.
Although traditionally Manet has been related as the master and Morisot as the follower, there is evidence that their relationship was a reciprocating one. Morisot had developed her own distinctive artistic style. Records of paintings show Manet's approval and appreciation of certain stylistic and compositional decisions that Morisot originated. He incorporated some of these characteristics into his own work.
It was Morisot who convinced Manet to attempt plein air painting, which she had been practicing since having been introduced to it by Corot.
She also drew Manet into the circle of painters who soon became known as the Impressionists. In 1874, Morisot married Manet's brother, Eugene, and they had one daughter, Julie. Julie Manet became the subject for many of her mother's paintings and a book of her memoirs Growing Up with the Impressionists: The Diary of Julie Manet, was published in 1987.
As a doctrinaire Impressionist as well as a member of the haute bourgeoisie, Morisot painted what she experienced on a daily basis. Her paintings reflect the 19th century cultural restrictions of her class and gender. She avoided urban and street scenes as well as the nude figure and, like her fellow female Impressionist Mary Cassatt, focused on domestic life and portraits in which she could use family and personal friends as models. Paintings like The Cradle (1872), in which she depicted current trends for nursery furniture, reflect her sensitivity to fashion and advertising, both of which would have been apparent to her female audience.
Her works include not only landscapes, portraits, garden settings and boating scenes, but also subjects portraying the comfort and intimacy of family and domestic life, as did her colleagues, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Mary Cassatt.
Berthe Morisot died on March 2, 1895 in Paris and was interred in the Cimetiere de Passy.

WILMOT, NS - Kent Robinson's mint 1984 Porsche is toast. Literally.
It went up in smoke and flames along with an upstairs filled with antiques, collectibles, and family memorabilia when the old carriage house, the last remnant of Cook farm in Wilmot, caught fire mid-morning March 8.
Robinson was in the house with his dog Jill when he saw smoke billowing past his window – the same window that would later crack from the heat of the fire.
Robinson's first reaction was to get the dog out of the house and safe, call 911, and contact his partner Shannon who was at work.
He'd gone out to the carriage house earlier to start the Porsche, something he did every two or three weeks in the winter. He doesn't know if there is any connection between that and the fire. But having been in the insurance business himself for many years he said he wasn't going to speculate. He'd let the firefighters do their job.
Kingston fire chief Watson Armstrong said the building was totally involved when he arrived, and the first concern was the nearby house – about 10 metres away. Firefighters from Middleton and Nictaux were also called out via the structure fire protocol.
Lawrencetown was later called to the scene.
Highway 1 was down to one lane for several hours as fire trucks took up position to fight the blaze on the corner of Highway 1 and Cook Avenue. Traffic at times was backed up half a kilometre.
Robinson called the fire in at about 10 a.m.
Later, when the fire was under control and firefighters were turning over rubble and dousing hot spots, Shannon was back in the house and noticed cracked windows. Shrubs and rose bushes were scorched.
Firefighters were still on the scene at 1 p.m. but the road was opened to two-way traffic by that time.
Robinson said when they moved back home from Calgary 11 years ago, the house wasn't big enough for everything they brought with them, so they stored a lot of their belongings in the upstairs of the carriage house.
The only thing left of the building was his Coronation Street sign that had been tacked to the side of the carriage house. When he went back out of the house later, even that was gone.
The car and the carriage house were insured. Kent Robinson praised the firefighters and was thankful it wasn't a windy day.
"The house would have been gone," he said.

Editor's Summary
Numerous benefits can be gained by promoting the value of information professionals to employers, students, funding agencies and the general public. Sandy Hirsh, Prudence Dalrymple and Marcia J. Bates have pointed out several ways that ASIS&T can spearhead these advocacy efforts, starting with the need to clearly define the term information professionals. A dedicated website illustrating the work, skills and value of the information professional might include testimonials, top 10 lists and interviews and be reinforced through social media marketing. The global Library 2.012 virtual conference of October 2012 can feature panels on the roles, benefits and advocacy of professional organizations such as ASIS&T. Additional advocacy opportunities are available by adding content to the ASIS&T site, establishing an advisory board and developing a long term strategic advocacy plan. Members are invited to get actively involved in advocating for information professionals by submitting suggestions for site content or participating in panels.

The Need for Advocacy
Advocacy for information professionals worldwide can
- increase employers understanding regarding the value information professionals can add to their organizations;
- help individuals see benefits in studying to become information professionals;
- increase various funding agencies and government agencies perception regarding the importance of research and educational programs in our field; and
- improve the publics understanding and appreciation of information professionals and research in our discipline.
These goals can, in turn, help increase career opportunities for information professionals, recruit students to our educational programs and reduce barriers to funding research and educational programs.
Plans for Increasing Advocacy
Sandy Hirsh, San José State University; Prudence Dalrymple, Drexel; and Marcia J. Bates, professor emerita, University of California, Los Angeles, members of the ASIS&T Information Professionals Task Force, have identified several ways ASIS&T can more actively advocate on behalf of information professionals.
As Sandy, Pru and Marcia noted in their recent report shared with the ASIS&T Board, there are multiple challenges with respect to advocacy for information professionals. For example, there is no concrete definition of what it means to be an information professional. People who are not information professionals lack knowledge about information professionals knowledge and skills. Individuals and institutions do not recognize the value of participating in professional organizations such as ASIS&T. In general theres a need to broaden peoples perceptions of our field.
Their suggestions regarding how to address these challenges include the following:
- Develop a new website that illustrates what it means to be an information professional.
- Review the ASIS&T website (especially the Information Professionals Task Force page) to identify areas of opportunity to provide more advocacy content.
- Have panels at the upcoming Library 2.012 that discuss (a) the benefits of belonging to a professional organization and (b) advocacy activities/strategies with respect to the information profession.
- Establish an Advocacy for Information Professionals Advisory Board
- Develop a strategic advocacy plan to identify longer-term advocacy goals and actions.
In the rest of this column Id like to focus on two of the above items: developing a new website that illustrates our profession and creating panels that address advocacy at the upcoming Library 2.012 Conference (http://www.library20.com/).
Advocacy Web Pages
Pru, Sandy and Marcia have suggested that content for the new website could include some of the following elements.
- Video and written testimonials about what it means to be an information professional.
- Top 10 lists, such as Top 10 Reasons to be an Information Professional and Top 10 Information Profession Careers.
- A campaign to broaden peoples awareness about the information professions as careers and as a skill set, such as through slogans like Are you an information professional and dont know it?
- Utilization of social media marketing techniques to build grassroots level support by going viral. For example, attention could be drawn to various instances of information professionals in the news by, for instance, tweeting this information and/or adding it to the ASIS&T Facebook and LinkedIn.
- Include interviews with international thought leaders about information professionals to increase credibility.
They have also recommended that the new website be created under a generic URL, and the domain name rights to InfoProfessionals.org have been purchased. They propose that other related professional organizations, such as the i-School organization, could be invited to contribute additional content over time. There is strength in numbers, and advocating for our profession is a sufficiently large challenge that ASIS&T could benefit from contributions by others. There will be mutual links between the ASIS&T web pages and this new website.
Advocacy Panels at Library 2.012
Library 2.011, a worldwide virtual conference, had 6800 participants from 145 countries (see http://www.library20.com/page/2011-conference.) ASIS&T was a partner organization of the conference. Sandy, Marcia and Pru have suggested that we organize several panels for the Library 2.012 conference that would help advocate for information professionals.
For example, one panel could discuss the roles and benefits of belonging to a professional organization, such as ASIS&T. Panel members could be ASIS&T members at various points in their careers, for example, a student, a junior professional and a senior professional and could be from various geographic regions. Panel members could tell their stories regarding how ASIS&T has helped them. The stories may help encourage others to join ASIS&T. The panel presentations and discussions could be captured and included on the InfoProfessionals.org website described above.
Another panel could present and discuss how professional organizations, such as ASIS&T, are addressing advocacy for the information professionals. This may also encourage other organizations to provide content for the InfoProfessionals.org website and/or point to it from their organizations website.
Your Participation
Marcia, Pru and Sandy welcome members suggestions regarding the new website, Library 2.012 panels, the Advocacy Advisory Board and the advocacy strategic planning process. If you would like to be included in a video, provide other content for the website and/or participate in a panel, please let them know. Please send email to the task force chair, Sandy Hirsh at Sandy.Hirsh<at>sjsu.edu, with your suggestions. The ASIS&T Board has allocated a small amount of money ($6,000) to begin development of the new website.
Id like to thank Sandy, Marcia and Pru for their continuing efforts helping ASIS&T better advocate on behalf of information professionals. And my thanks also to San José State University, Drexel University and UCLA for facilitating Sandys, Prus and Marcias work with ASIS&T.
Thanks also to everyone who has participated in the discussion regarding the proposal to change ASIS&T from the American Society for Information Science and Technology to ASsociation for Information Science and Technology. There is still an opportunity to comment at: www.quicktopic.com/47/H/bvJVhSC8HTs. All perspectives are very welcome.

Many large-scale retailers in Jacksonville opened early Friday in hopes of increased sales and customer traffic at the kickoff of the holiday shopping season.
Many large-scale retailers in Jacksonville opened early Friday in hopes of increased sales and customer traffic at the kickoff of the holiday shopping season.
All three of the department stores at Jacksonville Mall � Belk, JCPenny and Sears � opened their doors to customers at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, and according to Tammy Riggs, a supervisor at JCPenny, customers were eager to get shopping when the store opened.
�They were running into the store,� Riggs said. �They were lined up around the block. We held the door opened for customers for five straight minutes.�
Riggs said the turnout from this year�s Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales is a welcomed turnaround from 2012, when JCPenny decided to scale back on major Black Friday discounts.
�There�s a 100-percent difference from last year to this year,� Riggs said. �Last year, there were not a lot of people here at all.�
The experience was similar for Teresa Grubich, the general manager at Sears. This was the second year Sears opened on Thanksgiving at 8 p.m., and according Grubich, sales are expected to trump last year�s figures.
�This has been a very successful kickoff,� Brubich said.
Belk declined to comment.
One of the newer stores at the Jacksonville Mall, Helzberg Diamonds, also opened its doors at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving and Manager Karen Westmoreland said traffic and sales were steady. Though the store is in its first year in Jacksonville, Westmoreland said a pool of transplants kept the store busy.
�We had a built in clientele before coming to Jacksonville,� Westmoreland said. �We have people from all over the country and they knew us already.�
At the Best Buy on Western Boulevard, which opened on Thanksgiving Day for the first time, General Manager Vicki Mann said lines took a little longer to form, but the turnout was strong and enthusiastic.
�A lot of people were hooting and hollering when the doors opened,� Mann said. �Arms were lifted in the air ... everyone was in great spirits and super friendly.�
Mann said TVs, iPads, mobile phones and the new Xbox One were the big sellers of the day and said traffic was about the same as last year, but the store opened six hours earlier than usual. Despite keeping the doors open for 28 consecutive hours, Mann said everyone was on their best behavior.
�Things have been pleasant and everyone has been engaging,� she said.

Subject: Vinyl limp mass
I am designing the acoustical isolation for turning part of my basement
into a multipurpose music room and I wondered if anyone on the list
could comment on the use of vinyl limp mass for additional isolation.
The wall I am designing now is the long exterior wall. It is 30 feet
long by 10 feet high and is one third poured in place concrete. The rest
of the wall is 2x4 frame with R13 fiberglas insulation. The price I have
been quoted for the vinyl is US$2.25 /sq. ft., so the vinyl adds about
US$500 to the cost for this one wall. Is it worth this? Is it still
worth it if I construct a second, frame false wall inside the real
exterior wall?
