So here we have the second appearance of one Daniel Fusca. I need to digress for a minute though…
One thing I've realized from doing all these paintings is (and if I've painted you, you probably already know this, because I probably mentioned it… and then did it) that I talk to myself. Seriously. Like, discussing the painting with myself. Mostly at the end, when things are wrapping up… you know, when the tension is high, the stakes are high, and I need some juicing up. Haha ok, maybe not juicing… I think it's slightly more neurotic than that. It's honest-to-goodness talking to myself. I do not do it intentionally, I just catch myself doing it. But this whacked-out phenomena proves that I actually am crazy. Like, weird old crazy artist kind of crazy.
But this actually brings up another point worth discussing… that the more into a conversation I am while I'm painting, the slower (or maybe even poorer?) the painting goes. That's a tough one, because half the deal is hanging out and interacting with the subject. SO! It's also interesting to note that when I'm reeeeeally concentrating, I don't say anything at all. Not even talk to myself, like what happened here with Fusca. It was a pretty quick sitting, perhaps owing to my dilly dallying with lunch, but that's cool. Anyhow, the last hour or so I barely said a word, trying to get things "coherent and readable." Hahaha, nice. So the point is that I was concentrating hard enough NOT to talk to myself. Innaresting, eh? Let's not digress any further!
Lunch consisted of a bean and pesto salad. It was gonna be a quinoa salad, but it turns out we didn't have any quinoa. Beans it is!! And an Earl Grey that was possibly too good. 56% more tea in every bag?? You fools! It doesn't need that! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!! Delicious. OH AND COOKIES!!! Me and Jessica grabbed us all some cookies from freaking Mylk Uncookies to start with!! Such good cookies… uncookies… I love Mylk Uncookies.
ANOTHER SIDENOTE, just in case I don't do this enough, is that Jessica read a book about the painter Lucian Freud, Man With a Blue Scarf, which was written from the perspective of the sitter for a portrait. Turns out Lucian talked to himself quite a bit. Similar things like, "oh my yes, that colour should go there," or "hmmm, what to put here," "no, that's not right," and "yes! That's it!" Generally it took him at least a year or so to do a portrait throughout multiple sittings. When the author was in front of him, he sometimes had to be careful not introduce a topic of discussion so interesting as to distract Lucian from the painting. If Lucian became so engrossed in the conversation he might not accomplish anything throughout the course of an entire evening's sitting. Fascinating to find these similarities with another painter, especially Lucian Freud, who I'm not particularly a fan of. BUT as Jessica reminds me more and more of little philosophical similarities between us (she is a very big fan of Freud and his work), I have to say I'm growing to appreciate him more and more and in a very personal way, at that. Bam.

Spinal Decompression In New York City, DRX 9000
212 645-8151 Non Surgical herniated disc treatment
Spinal decompression on the DRX 9000 compared to other tables.
I get emails from people considering treatment from all over the world.
I always get questions about full range of motion tables like the Extendtrac or Antalgic-Trac.
This table are interesting looking, think of a ride at Disneyland.
All of the studies done on Spinal decompression where done on linear or straight pull, I have not seen or read anything saying that adding movement into a pull would improve the outcome.
The reason I use and prefer the DRX 9000 over other tables is the fact that more studies have been on it and there are more DRX tables out on the market than any other table.
I have been on all of the other tables and I have to say the DRX 9000 has the most reliable system and the most comfortable pull.
Do you have a herniated disc? If so consider Non Surgical Spinal decompression.
For a limited time I am offering a complementary consult, bring in your MRI report or films and get a second opinion and see if Spinal decompression can help you. If you would like to fax the report please fax to (603) 584-5825 the will be reviewed and you will have a call back the same day.

The 10 Best Laser Holiday Lights
This wiki has been updated 19 times since it was first published in December of 2016. If you are a bit nervous about climbing up on a ladder to decorate your house this year or just don't want to deal with the hassle, why not try a safer and much quicker option? These laser lights can project all sorts of Christmas-themed images onto your home, business, or landscape virtually instantly, and many of our picks also include patterns for most other holidays, too. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki. Skip to the best laser holiday light on Amazon.
Editor's Notes
October 22, 2018:
Many of the previous models had to be removed due to longevity issues, such as the charge Spotlight Projector and LaserXplore Light Show. We did our best to filter out any low-quality models, which seem to be prevalent in this category, while also including models to meet every budgetary constraint.
Benefits Of Laser Holiday Lights
No matter how hard you try and pack them away the year before so they don't tangle next time you pull them out, it just never seems to work.
All they have is a short power cord that plugs them into your AC outlet.
Anybody who has ever decorated their house with holiday lights before knows they can be a real hassle. Sure, they look great when done correctly. And they definitely add a festive flair to the neighborhood, but the danger, frustration, and expense associated with them often make it feel as if it wasn't worth the effort. Luckily, there is now a better solution. Laser holiday lights offer all of the benefits of traditional holiday lights, without any of the downsides.
One of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with string-style holiday lights is the tangle-prone cord. No matter how hard you try and pack them away the year before so they don't tangle next time you pull them out, it just never seems to work. If you are like most people, you probably spend 30 minutes to an hour just trying to untangle the cord before you even begin to start decorating. Unlike string lights, laser holiday lights don't have a long and frustrating cord to deal with. All they have is a short power cord that plugs them into your AC outlet.
Hanging string lights is quite dangerous, as well. So many people have fallen off ladders while trying to hang string lights on their roof or a tree that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has published holiday decorating ladder safety guidelines. With laser holiday lights, you don't have to risk your safety by climbing high up on a ladder or getting onto your roof. All you have to do is plug them in and point them at whatever you want to light up with a festive element. That means your holiday decorating will be safer and take significantly less time.
Even if you don't mind wasting a bunch of time trying to untangle a cord and you aren't worried about falling off a ladder, adhering string lights to the roof or walls of your home can be problematic. No matter which type of adhesive you use to attach the lights, you risk damaging the surface where you are hanging them. Nails leave behind unattractive holes once they are removed, and leaving them in your walls all year long often results in a trail of rust dripping. Glue and other sticky substances may remove some of your home's paint when you try to pull them off. Since you don't have to adhere laser holiday lights to your home, this is never an issue with them.
Keeping Lasers Where They Belong
If you decide to decorate your home with laser holiday lights this year, there is one very important thing you need to be aware of. Never arrange your light so that the laser is decorated skywards. You must place them in a manner that ensures the entire laser beam lands squarely on your home. This is especially important if you live near an airport where planes might make a low pass over your home as they approach the landing strip.
The Federal Aviation Administration has said that lasers pointing skywards can be potentially dangerous to pilots and threaten the safety of the aircraft and everybody on board. If a laser holiday light shines into a cockpit, it creates a large windshield-filling blob of light, temporarily causing flash blindness in the pilot and co-pilot, even if it doesn't hit them directly in the eyes. If somebody has ever taken your photo at night and used the flash, then you are probably familiar with the effects of flash blindness and you can imagine how dangerous this could be if you were piloting a 70-ton machine.
Just as stray lasers can be hazardous to pilots, they can also be hazardous to drivers if they shine in their eyes. For this reason you should also ensure that your laser holiday lights never veer off your house and into the street. Always check your laser light arrangement after dark too, so it will be easier to see exactly where they are pointed.
The History Of Christmas Decorations
Many historians believe the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree started in the 8th century C.E. with the English monk Saint Boniface. It is said that he brought a fir tree to Germany for them to decorate, claiming that the triangular shape of the tree represented the Holy Trinity. The extremely devout Germans took to decorating the tree with simple white candles as a form of public worship.
They became so popular that they eventually had to turn to machine production to keep up with demand.
Until the 1700s, Christmas trees were always outdoor decorations, but in 1605, this tradition changed when someone in Strasbourg, France brought their Christmas tree indoors and decorated it with wafers, sweets, nuts, paper flowers, and candles. This kicked off a whole new era in holiday decorating and soon indoor Christmas trees became the standard.
In 1610, tinsel made its first appearance in the holiday decorating scene. Unlike the cheap plastic tinsel of today, the original tinsel was actually pure silver. Tinsel makers would hammer sheets of silver until they were paper thin, and then them cut into strips. They became so popular that they eventually had to turn to machine production to keep up with demand.
Overtime the tradition of decorating Christmas trees spread to England, where people started creating more and more elaborate decorations, such as glass beads and hand-sewn snowflakes. Finally, in the 1800s, the Christmas tree decorating tradition arrived in America. In the 1840s, Germany started a new trend in Christmas decorations with the advent of the bauble. They started out at as fruit and nut-shaped glass before eventually taking on the spherical shape often seen today. Initially, baubles were only for the wealthy since they were ornately adorned and handcrafted from glass.
American insurance companies are responsible for the shift from candles to Christmas lights. They went so far as to try and get laws passed banning the use of candles as tree decorations because of the many fires they had caused over the years. An ingenious American by the name of Ralph Morris invented the first electric Christmas tree lights in 1895 and the rest, as they say, is history.

James Appleyard and Tamara Rebanks are two of our most dedicated and experienced volunteers, with more than 30 years of volunteer service between them as directors, interviewers and mentors. And they have a unique history with the Loran Scholars Foundation: now married, they first met when interviewing together on a Toronto regional selection committee in the autumn of 2000.
Tamara is Vice-President, Community Affairs at George Weston Ltd, one of Canada's largest public companies, where she is responsible for a charitable giving program that helps Canadian children to become more healthy and active. She serves on the board for the Loran Scholars Foundation and mentored a scholar from the Class of 2011.
"If someone is doing that at 17 or 18, just think of what they will do when they are 30 or 40."
Tamara takes a long, broad view of the foundation's work. "Character is a difficult thing to define and look for in a teenager. When I interview, I look for candidates that have stepped outside their comfort zone and taken on a challenge or solved some issue. If someone is doing that at 17 or 18, just think of what they will do when they are 30 or 40. The Loran Scholars Foundation doesn't care if you are going to be a future business entrepreneur, scientist or leader in the charitable sector. We need leaders in all those fields to be successful as a nation."
James, who is President & Founder of Freycinet Investments, a venture capital company. He spent the past decade building the fundraising technology company Artez Interactive, which he sold in 2013. James was board chair of the Loran Scholars Foundation for three years, continues to serve on the foundation's investment committee and was named a member of the Honorary Council in 2014. He has been interviewing Loran candidates since 1994 and mentored two scholars at the University of Toronto.
He is a strong believer in the non-monetary aspects of the enrichment program. "When I speak with prospective donors, our conversations focus on the 'end-game' of what the Loran Scholars Foundation is actually pursuing. We are aiming to build a greater country with our scholars as contributors in a host of different ways. The scholarship money is no more than the necessary fuel. The aspects of program enrichment —summer program, mentoring, orientation expedition & retreat, the wider network—are what make all the difference."
James and Tamara are members of our Founders' Circle, jointly underwriting awards for Applebanks Loran Scholars.

Over at Lawyers, Guns, & Money, Steven Attewell was hyping the New York City primary election that happened on Tuesday saying (mild paraphrase), "Hey progressives, Bill De Blasio is doing lots of good things and instead of carping and carrying on, you need to go out there and vote for his ass."
Rewarding Progressive Governance:
But accountability flows both ways: while voters must absolutely punish elected officials who fail to support their agenda (especially if they have promised to and renege), it's also true that they have to reward elected officials who deliver so that there is an incentive to pursue their agenda in the future. And while progressives have been broadly successful at shifting the Democratic Party on certain issues, we continue to face challenges in demonstrating that supporting our stances leads to election and re-election. Mostly, what we've done is come impressively close in races we shouldn't have won, which has garnered notice.
Well, in De Blasio we have a rare example of an elected official who won by running to the left, and who has governed (not always succcessfull) from the left. Despite the Democratic voter registration advantage in New York City, we've actually had relatively few liberal mayors in recent decades: before De Blasio, we had Bloomberg's three terms, Guiliani's two terms. The last liberal mayor before De Blasio was David Dinkins, who only managed one term, and before him we had conservative Democrats like Ed Koch and Abe Beam who were elected on the back of the 70s backlash against the long string of liberal mayors stretching back from Lindsay to LaGuardia. (And I haven't even mentioned the whole IDC phenomenon of recent years…)
In the comments I reply to kaydenpat and WeWantPie who raise the point of "Why doesn't everyone know DeBlasio is doing these good things?":
It's the unintended consequence of "objective journalism." The model of objective for-profit ad platforms is frankly bizarre in the history of mass media. Among other reasons, it's boring. Objectivity is soooooo boring.
That's why the media jumps to meta-stories about who is up and who is down: it's a story. It's not boring. But it's still "objective" because they don't take sides about whether what is "up" is better or worse than what is "down." FN1
The partisan press reigned for more than a century and witnessed Reconstruction, the Progressive Era, The New Deal and zero unwinnable wars. On the flip side, it also witnessed (and did nothing to stop) Jim Crow.
Nobody seems to be able to make money with local news. My idea: forget profits, bring back the partisan press. Democratic funded and branded local news on the web featuring youth soccer videos, church bake sale updates, and Democratic leaning coverage of state and local politics.
Tom Steyer! Hey! Buddy! Fund my local news idea!
1. From one of my favorite blog posts, Jay Rosen: Why Political Coverage Is Broken:
The production of innocence.
This isn't preached in journalism school or discussed in newsrooms; it forms no conscious part of the journalist's self-image. But it is real, a factor in the news we get about politics.
By the production of innocence I mean ways of reporting the news that try to advertise or "prove" to us that the press is neutral in its descriptions, a non-partisan presenter of facts, a non-factor and non-actor in events. Innocence means reporters are mere recorders, without stake or interest in the matter at hand. They aren't responsible for what happens, only for telling you about it. When you hear, "don't shoot the messenger" you are hearing a journalist declare his or her innocence.
This basic message—we're innocent because we're uninvolved—isn't something to be stated once, in a professional code of conduct or an "about" page. It has to be said many times a day in the course of writing and reporting the news. The genre known as He said, she said journalism is perhaps the most familiar example. But so is horse race journalism, in which the master narrative for covering an election is: who's ahead? Journalists will tend to favor descriptions of political life that are a.) true, in that verifiable facts support the story; and b.) convenient for the continuous production of their own innocence.
One of the great attractions to horse-race journalism is that it permits reporters and pundits to play up their detachment. Focusing on the race advertises the political innocence of the press because "who's gonna win?" is not an ideological question. By asking it you reaffirm that yours is not an ideological profession. This is experienced as pleasure by a lot of mainstream journalists. Innocence is bliss.
The quest for innocence in political reporting means the desire to be manifestly agenda-less and thus "prove" in the way you describe things that journalism is not an ideological trade. Which can get in the way of describing things. He said, she said doesn't tell us who's distorting the picture more. It is neutral on where the reality is, but reality is not something journalists can afford to be neutral about!
Political journalism should help us get our bearings in a world of confusing claims and counter-claims. But instead we have savviness, the dialect of insiders bringing us into their games. Nothing is more characteristic of the savvy style than statements like "in politics, perception is reality." Doesn't that statement make you mad? Whenever I hear it, I want to interrupt and say, "No, no, no. You have it wrong. In politics, perception isn't reality. Reality is reality!"
But then I stop myself. Because I realize I sound like a lunatic.

There is a robust movement in the direction of to make use of of natural preparations as a substitute of the by no means ending supply of store purchased, artificial options. Who may prefer it: Runners or energy looking for a pure means to supply energy during a long exercise. It does this by dilating the bronchial passageways and enhancing mobile energy ranges with increased ATP manufacturing – the first source of power.
Used for hundreds of years in traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic and Western natural medication, these herbs can present additional help for managing signs of stress and gentle anxiety. It may decrease the danger of skin and colon cancers; research show it also helps folks eat fewer energy.
Griffonia extract can be a very good complement for weight management because it acts as a natural appetite suppressant.

Kitty Tunnel, originally uploaded by GeekNeck.
I have this image on my wall at home as a gelatin-silver print from the old film days. I just realized that I haven't posted it anywhere, and remembered that I had scanned the negative a number of years ago.
Pulling that old scan out reminded me that I had a huge archive of scanned negatives I had basically forgotten about. I'm really looking forward to going back through those and making digital copies.
Seeing this has also reminded me how much I prefer digital imaging to analog. I used to load my own bulk film into canisters, develop the film, and make prints with an enlarger in a closet or bathroom. While I shot a lot of film, I didn't have a whole lot to show for it, except a bunch of negatives. Making prints with chemicals and an enlarger is a huge time sink. Not that digital isn't, but the difference is that analog processing required huge blocks of time, whereas digital lets me work at my own pace. Once chemicals are mixed and poured, they go bad, so I would essentially devote a whole weekend to print making. How often do we have the luxury of spending an entire weekend doing something?
