But maybe there was more of a representation of queer figures than we realized. 1. Spongebob from Spongebob Squarepants Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF mrwgifs.com Spongebob, our flamboyant friend from under the sea, has long been rumored to be gay. His close friendship with Patrick and his affinity for bothering Squidward (the old conservative who lives next door) definitely make you wonder. 2. Darlene from Roseanne effingdykes.blogspot.com Yeah, we bet you do, Darlene. Darlene dated a couple of boys in Roseanne, and even got pregnant at one point, but it was pretty clear she wasn't really into them. Darlene was a complete tomboy, totally uninterested in doing anything that her popular and boy-crazy older sister did, and dressed in a uniform of flannel and baseball caps. Of course, Sara Gilbert did come out a few years ago as gay, making all of our dreams come true. 3. Phil and Lil from Rugrats dhistorian.tumblr.com Phil and Lil were the coolest bug-loving ambiguously-gendered twins on television. Sure, Lil wore the bow and Phil wore the blue shorts, but otherwise they were basically indistinguishable. And remember their gender non-conforming mom? Yeah, this was one queer family. 4. Nakoma from Pocahontas Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF sassyalpha.tumblr.com Beyond her super-gay haircut (just take a look at those short bangs), Nakoma was obviously in love with Pocahontas. She had the kind of tension with Pocahontas that only a girl in love with their straight friend could have. And her puppy eyes when John Smith and Pocahontas kiss are too much to handle. Warning: looking up her name on tumblr definitely results in lesbian cartoon porn. 5. Shawn from Boy Meets World beautifulotps.tumblr.com Sure, Shawn was everybody's favorite ladies' man. He may have enjoyed dating a bunch of girls, but his heart was always set on Cory. He understood that his "best bud" belonged with Topanga in the end, but he loved Cory in a way that goes deeper than friendship. He even went so far as to tearfully crash Cory and Topanga's wedding, and force Cory to tearfully reassure him that they wouldn't stop being close. Of course. 6. Jules from Bend It Like Beckham Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF chianas.tumblr.com Does this even need an explanation? The whole movie is pretty gay, to say the least, but Jules' response to Jess dating Joe is clearly just anger that their story line got in the way of what should really have happened at the end of this movie. We know how you feel, Jules. 7. Daria from Daria dariawiki.org Daria is one of the queerest characters out there. She constantly gets super jealous of anyone Jane spends time with that isn't her. It's pretty indicative that the two boys she is "interested" in are Trent, Jane's brother, and Tom, Jane's boyfriend. Coincidence that these are the two boys who are closest to Jane? I think not. Poor Daria, looking in all the wrong places for Jane's attention. We've all been there. 8. HIM from Powerpuff Girls Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF krishtianity.tumblr.com HIM was by far the best villain in the Powerpuff Girls. He was ambiguous in all senses of the word, and it was amazing. It's too bad that he was presented as the worst and scariest villain of all time, because he truly was a queer icon -- HIM dressed in heels, pink frills, and make-up. 9. Lisa from The Simpsons scary-monstersandnicesprites.tumblr.com Oh, Lisa Simpson, TV's favorite queer feminist hero. Lisa has a lot of feelings, is a vegetarian, yells at people about homophobia, and wears a beret at times. None of us were surprised when Lisa was shown in gay relationships in the future. 10. Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove starpulse.com Okay, yes, he's stereotypically vain, obsessed with clothes, and sassy. But beyond that, he also passes on marrying an entire line of women by giving lazy excuses about their hair. Really, Kuzco? You're not fooling anyone. 11. Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus from Sailor Moon Via fanpop.com Okay, this might be cheating, because in the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon, these two were officially dating. But in the US version, they changed the script to refer to them as "cousins." As if. Sailor Uranus regularly cross dresses, and Sailor Neptune is one of the coolest queer femmes out there. 12. Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF fuckyeahbugsbunny.tumblr.com C'mon. He repeatedly seduced Elmer while in drag. Over and over again. Need I say more?

A Co-habitation Agreement is an agreement between a couple who wish to live together but do not want to enter into a marriage although they want to protect themselves from litigation and other negative consequences should their cohabitation break down.
Many couples move in together long before marriage is considered. This is a very exciting time and couples generally do not consider what will happen if living together does not work out.
It is ideal that a couple sign a Co-habitation Agreement when they first move in together but if you have not done so this agreement remains a good idea and can be done at a later stage in the relationship.
This Co-habitation Agreement is a non-threatening, amicable arrangement which serves the purpose of avoiding conflict and is considered beneficial for all parties involved.
In this agreement the couple can stipulate who pays for what and who carries which responsibilities of the joint household and what the arrangements will be if they separate – specifying who will keep specific assets and what will happen to assets bought jointly.
Although living together is attractive, couples must remember that this relationship is not recognised as such in South African law, and you do not have the same rights as married couples.
While you could try to prove your rights in terms of a Universal Partnership, it does not mean that you will be successful, and this is a very expensive process as it entails a High Court Application.
We therefore advise that you contact us to draft a Co-Habitation agreement for you.

As taxpayers, and shareholders, we don't want more Royal Bank of Scotlands or Lloyds Banking Groups. We want our banks to be successful, to thrive, and we should be willing to pay for that performance.
Life's very uncertain but there's one undeniable truth and that is we have no hope of economic recovery until we have a banking recovery and that requires stable regulation and a political climate that encourages banking, not discourages it.
And this goes to the heart of the question of what we want Britain to be, particularly in view of our role outside the eurozone perched between Europe and the US in a time zone that can give us an important and influential global presence disproportionate to our size.
We have to accept we're not going to join the euro and we're not going to integrate further with Brussels. Good. But to make the most of that position and make it tenable, we need a particular type of economy – otherwise we really have condemned ourselves to rapid decline.
A Britain making a success of its separateness inevitably requires us to be an open and international economy. That doesn't have to mean a Britain dominated by financial services. But to be an economy that's home to successful international companies requires a strong, vibrant and large domestic banking sector.
Why base a big business here if the biggest sources of funding aren't based here? As I wrote yesterday, employers will follow the money.
It's time to stop denigrating British banking and start promoting it to the world as the best in class. Our success as a fly wheel of globalisation depends on it, whether we like it or not.

Secretary of State Colin Powell conferred with senior Saudi, Israeli and Palestinian officials Friday as the administration finished up weeks of consultations leading to a Middle East policy statement by President Bush as early as next week.
Officials say the message by the president will propose a set of principles for moving toward a Middle East peace that will include a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Capping weeks of consultations with leaders from the region, Secretary Powell met first with Israel's outgoing military chief of staff General Shaul Mofaz and then with Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal.
But the last word in the U.S. fact-finding process was had by Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath, who said he delivered message to Mr. Powell from Chairman Yasser Arafat about Palestinian expectations for the Bush statement and the Middle East conference to be held later this summer.
Mr. Shaath said any U.S. blueprint for achieving an Israeli-Palestinian settlement should include a firm time-line for achieving a final peace calling a one-year-period a "reasonable" deadline so that there could be no procrastination or reversals in the negotiating process.
The Palestinian official did not reject out of hand the idea of declaring an interim, or provisional, Palestinian state in areas now controlled by the Palestinian Authority as suggested earlier this week by Secretary Powell.
However he said such a declaration should be based on an understanding that the eventual borders of the state will be those of the West Bank and Gaza before Israel occupied them in 1967 this, in line with the Saudi peace initiative endorsed by the Arab League earlier this year.
"Maybe this is the time to declare an independent state. But if we do, that state will have to be based on the border of 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital, based on this Arab plan," said Mr. Mr. Shaath. "And that is very a important requirement. And therefore the question is not a provisional no state can be provisional. It will have occupied territory like Lebanon did, like Syria did, like Jordan did, like Egypt did. The essence is whatever is done is done on the basis of the 1967 borders."
The Saudi foreign minister declined detailed extensive comment after his meeting with Mr. Powell and cancelled an embassy news conference he had planned.
But the Saudi prince, who met President Bush Thursday, said his government and the Bush administration agree on the "broad lines" of a approach he said would give Palestinians their "legitimate rights and a comfortable life" in their own state, and which would provide Israel with "security and normalization."
General Mofaz, meanwhile told a Middle East policy group in Washington there can be no meaningful progress on the political front with the Palestinian Authority as long as Yasser Arafat is in charge.
He also expressed doubt that the Mr. Arafat's appointee for security chief in his new cabinet Abel Razak Yehiyeh will be able to control and fight terrorism, because he is too closely-tied to the Palestinian leader.
Mr. Powell's talks coincided with a State Department meeting of mediators of the so-called "quartet" on the Middle East the United States, Russia, the European Union and the U.N. to discuss the form and timing of the ministerial-level conference on the Middle East expected sometime late this summer.

WWE Raw: Examining the Pros and Cons of the Wyatt Family's DebutJuly 9, 2013
On the July 8 edition of WWE Raw, Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family finally made their anticipated debut after weeks of vignettes and hype. Prior to being seen at ringside, videos were shown throughout Raw of a reporter visiting the Wyatt Family to learn more about them. The final video ended in a transition that began the debut.
Here is a look at the pros and cons of the Wyatt Family's debut.
As mentioned above, the Wyatt Family's entrance came as a transition to their final video. This made their entrance into the arena fun to watch, and it was a great way to introduce them. WWE produces spectacular video packages as seen on all programming, but even more so on WWE Main Event.
The choice to have Luke Harper and Erick Rowan attack Kane of all Superstars resulted in a quality choice. Kane is a seasoned veteran and by all accounts a monster.
How can you make a new group look dominant? Take out a monster, of course.
Kane is also one of the seven participants in the WWE title Money in the Bank ladder match. The Wyatt Family's attack on the Big Red Monster raises the question as to whether or not Kane will be able to compete in six days at Money in the Bank.
Let's also give WWE credit for not giving the Wyatt Family the Brodus Clay treatment.
For those who don't remember, WWE produced a number of vignettes leading up to Clay's debut after his season with NXT ended.
It seemed through the videos that Clay's character would be similar to that of Mark Henry's, as a dominant big man. However, as you can see now on WWE TV, the company chose to change Clay's character to that of a comedic dancing dinosaur.
Luckily, the Wyatt Family's gimmick was kept intact since it is unique in today's age. It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
The Wyatt Family's debut was entertaining, but it didn't last very long. After Rowan and Harper finished their beating of Kane, Wyatt kneeled before Kane and looked up to the sky with his so-called brothers. The segment ended without any in-ring promo or anything else.
As Wyatt kneeled, the crowd began a familiar chant to the man who portrays the leader of the Wyatt Family. Husky Harris chants were heard from the Baltimore crowd.
Wyatt has done a tremendous job as his new character. The crowd is essentially ruining the environment and aura in the segment with these chants. The WWE Universe chanted Albert constantly when Tensai debuted, and it hurts the character.
Hopefully, the Husky Harris chants either won't continue or don't ruin the new faction.
The Wyatt Family's debut was exciting, but it didn't have much of an impact right away. When The Shield debuted at Survivor Series, they did so during the WWE title match when they took out Ryback.
Understandably, The Shield's debut was also better because no one expected it. Regardless, the Wyatt Family's debut could have been done during a more prominent situation. Kane vs. Christian had very little meaning. Yes, they are both in the same Money in the Bank ladder match, but neither one is likely to win.
The Wyatt Family's debut should be the start of a great run for Wyatt, Rowan and Harper. They made a name for themselves and their group in NXT. Now, they get to do the same on the main roster.
Hopefully, they continue to dominate early on to compete with The Shield as the best current faction in the WWE. The Wyatt Family's debut could have been done without actually letting the WWE Universe know what day it was going to happen.
Regardless, there are always pros and cons to WWE Superstars' debut, and hopefully, you enjoyed reading about them.

Hey Island Lake Families! Wow, 1 more full day left in this session before our first changeover day on Thursday. I cannot believe how fast session 1 has flown by! For those of you with children coming home on Thursday, I hope they have only amazing ILC experiences to share with you.
Last night's younger children's play, "Oklahoma", was a huge success! Wow, we have some talented children at this camp. Their acting skills, with their southern accents, entertained the audience throughout the show. Those little ones truly sang, acted, and danced their hearts out. I hope you enjoy the photos posted on our website.
Yesterday our 5th & 6th grade boys played in a 1-day soccer tournament against several other camps in Wayne County and we came in 2nd place! We're so proud of our boys for doing so well!
Today in sports, we hosted an 8th & 9th grade boys' volleyball tournament here at Island Lake. Lots of other camps attended and played all day long. Our 8th & 9th grade girls went out of camp to play in a basketball tournament and they said they had an absolute blast. A few of our avid golfers went out on a trip to a nearby golf course. Our future generation of Tiger Woods' are working hard, both here at camp at our driving range, as well as out on a local golf course in the area.
Our skateboard and rollerblade kids competed in our Skatepark Competition today which we host for our campers at the end of each session. Campers of all levels competed in rollerblading and skateboarding to show off their mad skills they developed over the course of the past 2½ weeks.
Today's special feature is HORESEBACK RIDING!
Tonight's evening activity is our highly anticipated Circus Show, followed by ETB (early to bed). Woohoo! A good night's rest for our campers! But anyway, back to the show,…I'm excited to see all that our campers have learned throughout the session under the big top tonight. I'll deliver to you a full report on the Circus Show tomorrow. Until then, ILC U THERE!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a good model, with zimmerit modelled on. The TC figure is quite nice in my opinion (I know warlord often get bad rep). Simple, clean, and fun build. The only 'negative' element was the gun. Well moulded but the joint is too loose. I had to glue it in position otherwise it was depressing too much giving the impression of a knocked out tank.
Tidbit: do you know why knocked out tanks have their guns depressed? Because their hydraulic fluid, the one used in the recoil system has burned or spilled, and there is not pressure to keep the equilibrators working, so the barrel, usually not fixed at its balance point, just drop off.
Anyway just enjoy another 1:56 model!
This time I have gone for a general wash after the basic camouflage colours had been applied, IMHO it worked, it was especially effective in the wheels and to define the zimmerit.
After the Tiger we have another group of tanks in 1:56 painted the same holiday. Japanese ones this time. Two of them are Warlord resin models and one is a Company B.
I had the Company B for years while the Warlords were bought in 2013. That holiday I finally received my Trenchworx Thanks in Manchuria models. I built them but I decided to start painting from the backlog first… and I also took the opportunity to retouch the older Ha-Go. Anyway the Type 97 ShinHoto is Warlord, as one of the Type 95. I am again very satisfied of the work. I will say that the Warlord resin model were slightly better than the Company B (and yes I plan to procure one platoon box of the new plastic Chi-Ha too). Yet everyone painted well. I think I am more happy with the Warlord because I got better and the colours are also more accurate.
|Warlord Type 97 leading, Company B Type 95 in the middle.

Old Wives Tales
This time around we are still patiently waiting for the ultrasound which will take place on March 25th. That seems like forever, so in the mean time we have been having fun with Old Wives Tales.
There are a million an one of them out there, but so far we have completed the following:
Carrying high or low - With my first and now this pregnancy I tend to carry low, so based on that judgement alone we would say boy.
Salty or Sweet - I had to ask my husband what he thought on this. As I have been enjoying the pickles, but I also crave chocolate milk. He said I crave more salty, pickles and popcorn my latest vices. - boy.
Heart Rate - Over 140 girl, under boy - well it has been over 140 at all checkups - girl.
Urine Test - There are several different version of this, but last night we did the baking soda test. Basically pee in a cup and add baking soda. If it fizzes then its a boy, no reaction girl. - girl
Morning Sickness - If you have it girl, without boy. While I know this one is so off as I never had it with my first girl and had it this time we shall see. Based only on this - girl.
There are a bunch of other tests from testing your Urine with Drano, to hanging a ring over you belly and seeing which way it moves. We plan to do them for fun over the next few weeks. :) We will be finding out.
If you have children did you find out the gender in an u/s or wait for it to be a surprise?
6 comments:
With Alli, we did not find out. With Blake, he was showing off his junk spread-eagled on the ultrasound. With Reid, we heard that it was a boy the day we heard about him for the first time. :)ReplyDelete
I found out both times, I can't take the suspense! I love all the old wives tales, thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I can't believe you have to wait so long - March 25th is SO far away! My office does it at 18 weeks...ReplyDelete
And aren't ALL young babies' heartbeats above 140 bpm?!?! I read that the research showed that heartbeat rate is correlated with fetus age (the younger, the faster)! :-)Replies
My office does not do them until 20 weeks...that was the first day that worked best for my husband and I.Delete
As for the heartbeat, yea who knows I guess that is why its an old wives tale
I hated waiting for the ultrasound, it wouldn't have mattered to me either way, boy/girl, but I HAD TO KNOW. I had a feeling from the start that it was a boy, but everyone and all the old wives tales said girl so I started to question myself around the time of the ultrasound. Anyway, turns out instincts were right and I had a boy! Either way, it's a totally exciting time, congratulations!ReplyDelete
We found out in the ultrasound....I figure the surprise is seeing and holding the baby it doesn't have to be the sex of the baby. ;-)ReplyDelete

Eating Out ... In Restaurant Recipes
"Your Source for Restaurant Recipes Online"
1 C. milk
1 C. cream
1 C. grated pecorino cheese, plus a little extra for garnish
1 C. white bread crumbs from a baguette or Italian bread, crusts removed
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
3 egg yolks, lightly beaten
18 spears of small to medium asparagus, tough ends trimmed and stalks peeled
4 T. extra-virgin olive oil
coarse sea salt, to taste
juice of 1 lemon
2 T. chopped gaeta or kalamata olives
For Budino:
Heat milk and cream just to simmering point. Add pecorino cheese and stir over low flame for 4 minutes. Remove and strain through a fine metal sieve. Discard the cheese solids and save the strained cream liquid. Add the bread crumbs to the warm cream liquid; set aside to allow the crumbs to soften in the cream for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Pour the cream mixture, salt and pepper into the egg yolks and gently whisk until thoroughly incorporated. Pour mixture into 6 well greased ramekins or small custard molds; set ramekins into a water bath and bake in oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. (The resting is not imperative, but helps in unmolding the Budino.)
Blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water. Drain asparagus; place in a bowl; toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil and coarse salt to taste. Grill over hot coals for 2 minutes to just singe the asparagus on one side. Place 3 spears on each of 6 warmed plates.
Run a toothpick or thin knife around outside edges of each ramekin to loosen custard; unmold each on a plate beside asparagus. Garnish with a little more extra-virgin olive oil, chopped olives, a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of grated pecorino cheese.
Makes 6 servings.

What nicer feeling than messing around in one of Windermere Quays hire boats. The fleet of six 19′ electric hire boats are the pride of Windermere Lake. Whether you are coming alongside at one of Lake Windermere's many hotels with a jetty or you take a picnic for the family playing at "Swallows and Amazons," the choice is yours.
The hire boats are electrically powered so are ecologically sound, and because of the lack of a petrol engine produce very little sound, meaning you are able to get very close to the abundant Lake Windermere wildlife. The boats take up to a maximum of 6 passengers at a rate of £30 per hour for the boat, half and full day rates can be negotiated at the time of hire. There is no booking required as all our hire boat vessels are on a first come, first served basis and we provide life jackets and full safety instructions.

A Pause In Lent 2
So this is post number 2. Thank you for your kind and encouraging responses to my first pause.
I'm actually writing this on Saturday, as I may not have much time tomorrow or Monday. So I hope nobody minds that I'm a little in advance: if you do, you could not read it until tomorrow, if that would help!
All this week I've been, on odd occasions, wondering what I should blog about in this pause. I wondered whether to continue my rambling from last week, or to go off on a tangent. I had lots of ideas, but there is a poem that kept coming back to me, so I'll share that with you. I was going to write something about what the poem meant to me, blah-de-blah. But then something happened last night that I really want to tell you about. I want to tell you about a doctor that I met.
You may have "met" this doctor at the same time as I did. He is a man, who, time after heart breaking time, has to make the worst decision a person could ever have to make: which child should be given the chance of life, and which will have to die. And every time he has to make this choice, he also dies a little inside.
I watched the Comic Relief programme last night, and while so many of the short films they showed were shocking, I think it was watching this man that affected me most. He no doubt entered medicine because he wanted to make a difference, to save people's lives, but, because of the poverty of the hospitals where he works, he doesn't have enough equipment to do what he so desperately wants to do.
The film showed him, in his terribly under resourced hospital, with 4 children, each with malaria, each held tightly in the arms of their weeping mother, each needing life-giving oxygen…and only three portals to the oxygen machine. He had to choose which child would not be treated. He had to choose which three would live, and which would, in all probability, die. And as he explained this to camera, his voice broke and he turned away, overwhelmed by the enormity of what he had to do…and what he has to do every day.
Apparently, there are a good percentage of people who watch the Comic Relief programme, and don't donate. Let's be honest, I've been in that percentage, but today, after watching that young man weep as he contemplated the choice he had to make, I can't not donate. I have to. If you don't know what I'm talking about here's a link to the Red Nose Day site. If you've not donated yet, please think of that young doctor having to choose which child has to die, and get out your credit card.
£120 could enable four volunteers, living in remote villages in Uganda, to get the training they need to give life-saving medical treatment to children with malaria.
£8 could pay for ten Ugandan children to be tested for malaria so they can get a quick diagnosis and receive life-saving treatment. Yes – 10 children…the tests cost 80p each. I spend 80p on a chocolate bar and think nothing of it. I lose 80p down the back of the sofa. And it could save a life!
And now, here's that poem. I first read it at secondary school, as we studied the Metaphysical Poets. I can't tell you much about them now, but certain poems, this one by George Herbert, and others by John Donne, have really spoken to me through the years. When I re-read this as I post it, I don't think I need to write about what it means to me. Because it's what it means to you that is important. I have posted this on this blog before, but I think it bears repeating.
LOVE (III) – by George Herbert
Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.
"A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"
"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.

Session 2005-06 was a successful one for Tolsta's army of cross country runners. For a small school of only 45 children it has competed with the bigger schools and often triumphed over them. It is not unusual to get 40-50% of Tolsta pupils taking part in the Lewis and Harris Championships.
The 2005-2006 Tolsta runners won first place in the U-9 Boys (Stuart Macdonald), U-11 Girls (Catriona Mackay) and U-11 Boys (Campbell Macdonald) individual events, as well as winning the U-11 Girls team prize and coming third in the Boys U-9 team event.
This success followed them into the Western Isles Championship. Schools from the Butt to Barra competed for the individual running awards.
Catriona Mackay won the Girls U-11 trophy and Campbell Macdonald the Boys U-11 cup. This was Campbell 's third consecutive victory at this level having twice won the U-9 event.
Well done all of you! Keep it up!

NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi Excellent for Gastrointestinal Health, Immune System Support, and Digestion
One cornerstone concept in aging, wellness, and disease is the concept of oxidation. This is the same process metals go through as they degrade in nature.
Are you rusting from the inside out and don't even know it? NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi Helps Get the Rust Out!
If you know anything about health, professional-grade nutritional supplementation, and the management of the aging process, you have certainly read about oxidative stress and inflammation.
Did you know that oxidation is just a chemical reaction? Did you know that this chemical reaction is essentially required for the cells in your body to make energy and perform many functions?
When your body makes its energy currency, called ATP, oxidation occurs. But, it occurs in a controlled and protected fashion within an area of the cell called the mitochondria. Sort of like a nuclear reaction is useful when controlled within the power plants core reactor; but, when unleashed into the atmosphere, this same nuclear reaction causes destruction. Oxidation that occurs outside of the mitochondria can damage other parts of the cell likely contributing to disease and aging.
Did you know that our body is designed to adapt and counter the oxidative process? You body makes a potent antioxidant called glutathione to help clean up the oxidation that occurs as a normal part of life.
So called Superfoods, of which there are over 50 in NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi, and nutrients are also an important part of reducing oxidation. Antioxidant foods and nutrients are those that have the chemical ability to "absorb" the oxidation, so to speak, because they are able to accept the negatively charged electron that causes so much damage to the neutral charged cellular parts.
Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi by NuMedica is a Potent Sophisticated "Living Food"
NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi provides nutrients, antioxidants, probiotic flora and digestive enzymes that support your body's ability to prevent damaging oxidative reactions. This sophisticated nutritional drink mix addresses digestion, probiotic needs, and antioxidant needs. Many people, especially as they age or take anti-acids, do not digest their foods properly. Adequate stomach acid is necessary for protein digestion and activation of the body's own digestive enzymes which break down large proteins into smaller, absorbable amino acid building blocks. Power Greens contains a variety of digestive enzymes to assist with this digestive process such as bromelain (from pineapple), papain (from papaya), and other digestive enzymes (lactase, amylase, protease). Proper digestion is a basic starting point in wellness.
As your body goes through the digestive process, creating the energy it needs to survive and thrive, oxidation occurs. Oxidation, when controlled, is a normal process. Most people, due to poor nutrition, excess stress, and gastrointestinal problems, have too much oxidative stress. NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi contains a wide variety of powerful antioxidants from plants and super-fruits (Noni, Mangosteen, and other berries).
Finally, when I think about digestion and gastrointestinal health, I think immediately about the immune system. 70-80% of our immune systems cells are located around the gastrointestinal tract. The health of our immune system is directly affected by the health of our gut. The health of our gut is reflected by the balance of intestinal flora, the health of our GI tract lining (inflammation), and our nutritional diet.
NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi addresses these health needs by providing beneficial bacteria to the gut (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) as nutrients known to modulate the immune system response (B-glucan). The scientific literature suggests that beta-glucan, a long chain sugar found in yeast, mushroom, and grains, helps the immune system in ways that: 1) reduce tumor growth, 2) reduce infection such as in high risk post-operative patients 3) enhance immune health after radiation, and 4) decrease inflammation as seen in allergy and arthritis.
So you see that it is all tied together and NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi is an excellent way to address gastrointestinal health, immune system support, and digestion. By providing a high ORAC antioxidant value, this gluten-free, dairy-free, superfood may be an excellent addition to your supplementation program.
Powerful Antioxidant Protection from NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi
With its nutritional makeup, each scoop of NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi provides twice the antioxidant protection recommended by the USDA. Antioxidants are powerful natural molecules that eliminate dangerous free radicals from our bodies. Free radicals are damaged cells that can compromise your health and lead to the onset of disease. A nutrient-rich diet high in antioxidant protections allows us to reduce free radicals from the body to slow the aging process and potentially ward away disease. Many people who take NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi on a regular basis report feeling rejuvenated and revitalized with natural energy.
Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi Contains Nutrient-Rich Super Foods
NuMedica Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi relies on its super blends to promote its healthful benefits. The ingredients in its berry and herbal blend, vegetable blend, antioxidant blend, and digestive blend combine to create a powerful supplement of super foods like spinach, apple, pomegranate, mangosteen, kelp, goji, cinnamon, grape seed, carrot, broccoli, and many others to deliver a concentrated supply of nutrition.
All Natural Ingredients Power Reds Strawberry-Kiwi Superfood
Keep in mind that each of these natural ingredients includes health benefits of its own. For instance, mangosteen is known to reduce blood cholesterol levels and decrease inflammation associated with arthritis pain. Pomegranate has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure and may even help guard against depression. According to Medical News Today, cinnamon may even help guard against Alzheimer's disease. Each of these ingredients brings its own combination of health and nutritional benefits to the mix, making this one of the most powerful supplements you can take to support overall nutrition.
Difference Between NuMedica Power Reds and Power Greens
NuMedica's Power Reds has more red vegetables while Power Greens has more green vegetables. Red vegetables get their color from carotenoids and polyphenols, both of which are important antioxidants and our known to protect our cardiovascular system. Green vegetables contain sulforaphane, indoles and isothiocyanato that break down hazardous chemicals helping our body to detox. You can see a complete list of ingredients on the Ingredients tab of each respective product page.

With No. 4 LSU and its dominant defensive line coming to Gainesville this weekend, No. 10 Florida is considering a switch at arguably the most important spot along its offensive line.
Senior left tackle Xavier Nixon was replaced by freshman D.J. Humphries to start the second half of Florida's win against Kentucky on Sept. 22, and coach Will Muschamp said Monday that who starts on Saturday will be determined in practice this week.
"Whoever practices the best will play," Muschamp said when asked if it was possible Humphries would play this week. "We expect him to do a championship job."
Humphries is a true freshman who came in as a five-star recruit ranked No. 2 overall in the nation, according to Rivals.com. He played in a reserve role as early as Week 1 against Bowling Green and it seems Florida's coaches have been grooming him to replace Nixon sooner rather than later.
"D.J. deserves to play. He played well," Muschamp said after the Kentucky game. "I don't care what year he is. He plays well and practices well and plays well and he deserves the opportunity."
Muschamp was then asked if Humphries has a chance to start against LSU.
"We'll see," he said. "We'll see who practices the best."
Nixon has struggled during his time as a Gator -- weight issues, penalties and poor technique have prevented him from playing to his potential. He has not been a liability thus far this season, but with LSU coming to town, it's easy to see why Humphries is being considered.
"We know about their speed rushers," quarterback Jeff Driskel said. "They're going to get in there quick."
Driskel said the Gators have some things prepared to counteract the Tigers' speed and power up front. Draw plays, quick passes and having tight ends and running backs assist in blocking the defensive ends will all help the offensive line against LSU. But UF can't help the linemen on every play, and each man up front is expected to hold up in a one-on-one situations.
Driskel said he's confident that Humphries can do that.
"He's a guy that's worked hard ever since he's gotten here," Driskel said. "He came in in the spring, a little undersized but he's really fast and he's great in his technique. We have all the confidence in the world in him."
While Nixon's experience is certainly an asset, it's Humphries ability to keep up with LSU's speed on the edge that is the difference between the two. It's also why, as a true freshman, Humphries has a chance to play a pivotal role against one of the nation's top teams.
"It's definitely hard (playing left tackle as a freshman), especially with the SEC defensive line that are so fast and have such good get-off off the ball," Driskel said. "But he's quick as well. He has great technique, and he's a smart player. He'll be fine."

Referral System
Living Longer Living Stronger has a strong history of referral and with the introduction of our tiered health system we have made it even easier for professionals to recommend appropriate services for their clients.
A General Practitioner referral is required into the program - as the General Practitioner has access to the entire health and prescription history of each client. They can now refer patients directly to an appropriate Living Longer Living Stronger provider depending upon their patients' health conditions and contraindications.
Tier One providers of the program are exercise physiologists or physiotherapists who have the skills and experience to deal with those participants who have chronic conditions or are in need of rehabilitation services.
Tier Two providers are professional fitness instructors who have completed extra Living Longer Living Stronger training and are equipped to deal with those participants with minor health conditions.
Referral forms and practitioner instructions are available below.
Instructions for Patient Referral Direct to a Provider:
1. Complete the PDF Referral Form here
2. Click here and scroll down to locate the nearest Provider. The Provider list is in alphabetical order. A printable list is available here.
3. Option 1 - Click on the provider's email address and attach the completed Doctor Referral Letter (and summary of medical and prescription history) and hit send.
Option 2 - Print out the Doctor Referral Letter (and summary of medical and prescription history) and the printable list and give this to your patient who can then take it directly to their provider to commence the assessment process.
4. From here the participant will be assessed. Please note that Tier One providers can be referred on Chronic Disease Management plans and participants may be able to claim from their private health cover (dependant on their level of cover).
5. A personalised program will be devised by the trainer and the participant will be shown through this program.
6. Participant attends the Centre and commences on their journey to renewed health and fitness.

The scepticism of philosophers towards the idea that animals can behave morally is subtly different from that of scientists. Scientists question whether there is enough evidence to support the claim that animals can be motivated by emotions such as kindness or compassion, or by negative counterparts such as malice or cruelty. Philosophers argue that, even if animals were to be motivated by these sorts of states, this is still not moral motivation. When they occur in animals, these states are not moral ones. For example, compassion, when it occurs in an animal, is not the same sort of thing as compassion when it occurs in a human. When it occurs in an animal, compassion has no moral status, and so even if the animal acts through compassion, it is still not acting morally.
The philosophical problem, as I see it, can perhaps be concentrated in this question: Can our moral language, with all its fine-grained and critical distinctions, be used at full stretch when talking about animal kindness?
[In 1964] Stanley Wechkin and colleagues at the Northwestern University in Chicago demonstrated that hungry rhesus monkeys refused to pull a chain that delivered them food if doing so gave a painful shock to another monkey. One monkey persisted in this refusal for 12 days.
Asking these questions is partly what I mean by using moral language at full stretch.
What alternatives are there? We sometimes call exceptionally good deeds beautiful. By exceptional, I mean actions that supersede moral expectations. Saintly deeds are typically beautiful in this sense. Perhaps we could frame Binti Jua's gentle concern for the poor boy this way? Not modelling it on a conception of morality, but on somethings that supersedes moral demands? Describing animal kindness as beautiful rather than moral would do justice to the kindness we see, without disregarding our surprise at such kindness. -- This surprise, I believe, do tell us something about the possibility of animal morality. At the outset of this post, I wrote that "something unexpected" happened when Binti Jua took care of the boy the way she did. Had she been a human being, we wouldn't have thought much of it. That would have been the only appropriate thing to do, after all. But when a gorilla does it...! Binti Jua's gentleness took people by surprise. Doesn't this difference in expectations tell us something about humans and animals?

The door to civilian rule in Chile has opened a crack - and suddenly there is an unrelenting clamor for the door to swing wide open. ''We are in this to put an end to military rule,'' says Gabriel Valdes Subercaseaux, head of the new Alianza Democratica, an amalgam of six political parties that have joined forces in opposition to the military government.
Chilean leader Augusto Pinochet Ugarte clearly has no intention of giving up power. But as the 10-year anniversary of military rule approached last month, Pinochet, under pressure, agreed to give civilians a modicum of influence in government.
He named a new, largely civilian Cabinet and held out the prospect of a national plebiscite on the issue of holding congressional elections before the scheduled date of 1990. Beyond this, he eased censorship, promised to legalize political parties by next year, and allowed some 3,000 civilians to return from exile.
These concessions do not satisfy Alianza, however. Flushed with their recent gains and the upsurge of political debate here, they are not giving up on a speedier return to civilian rule.
''It is not enough,'' Mr. Valdes says, ''for the government to suggest holding a plebiscite to amend the Constitution to hold congressional elections before 1990 as scheduled. There has to be more.''
Alianza wants Pinochet to step down before 1989, the date set for his term to end under the nation's new constitution. The group is not calling for his immediate resignation, however. It knows that is too much to ask.
At the moment, Alianza is the key force of political opposition. Its leadership is largely centrist and is dominated by the Christian Democrats, Chile's largest political party. The group does not include the far right or the far left.
Christian Democratic influence in Alianza may slip a bit in October as Hugo Zepeda of the Republican Right assumes the Alianza presidency for a month. Mr. Zepeda tends to be closer to the Pinochet government than other members of the Alianza. But the emphasis on a legitimate dialogue with the government - and the broad Alianza tone set by the Christian Democrats - will continue.
Other political groups, including two on the left, are forming, too. But there is no current plan for them to be included in any dialogue with the government.
Nevertheless, after 10 years in limbo, politicians are speaking out forcefully. They are no longer circumspect in their criticism of the military government, although they do hold back from criticizing General Pinochet directly.
Andres Zaldivar Larrain, a former Chilean senator and a Christian Democrat like Mr. Valdes, says Pinochet's rule has been ''the worst government in the history of Chile.''
A couple of years ago such statements would have promptly sent Zaldivar to jail or to exile. Indeed, he was sent packing in 1980 after a Mexican newspaper inaccurately reported his comments on the military government.
Now it seems that virtually anything can be printed - right here in Chile. Newspapers and magazines are full of criticism of the government.
It is a spectacular change after years of military censorship.
But there are warnings that the freedom is relative, that it might not last. ''The hand that giveth can also take away,'' says a military leader close to Pinochet. He adds enigmatically: ''Beware.''
Such warnings do not deter the politicians - or the hundreds of thousands of Chileans living in the poblacionesm, the shantytowns that ring this capital city. The poor are increasingly restive. A frustrated, largely jobless, and angry people, the pobladores have been willing in the past several months to risk violent confrontations with the carabinerosm, Chile's national police, to protest the nation's political and economic policies.
Chile is in the throes of an economic recession as bad as the depression years of the 1930s. Economy Minister Carlos Francisco Caceres admits the rate of unemployment is more than 17 percent. Many Chilean economists say it is more like 30 percent.
Beyond this, there is a growing national feeling - perhaps not yet a consensus - that 10 years of military rule is more than enough. Ten years seems a long time - particularly when that rule has been heavy-handed and ''basically un-Chilean in its approach,'' says a prominent socialist, who asks that his name not be used.
Alianza and the confrontations between the pobladoresm and the police are only two points of antimilitary sentiment. And the military is becoming worried.
Some officers worry that the military could be irreparably harmed if more compromises are not made to assuage civilian wrath.
It is widely believed here that the recent overtures to civilians are a direct result of military men prodding General Pinochet to make them. In addition to naming a largely civilian Cabinet and opening a dialogue between the government and the opposition politicians, the government has:
* Allowed the return to Chile of more than 3,000 exiled politicians and others, including Christian Democrat Zaldivar. Those returning range from those on the moderate right to the moderate left. Still proscribed are hundreds of leftists - socialists, Communists, and others.
* Lifted the state of emergency that has been in effect since 1973, when the military seized power. The step ends the nighttime curfew and the arbitrary detention of suspects at secret government hideaways.
* Reinstated the rights of citizens to hold public meetings and protests without prior authorization - as long as these activities take place ''without arms.''
* Removed most limits on freedom of the press. Newspapers and magazines are freer to comment on the affairs of government, and some other publications are about to reappear - such as Politica y Espiritum, a Christian Democrat publication.
But there is still some censorship. The television interview program ''Encuentro'' was canceled by the government last week when Christian Democratic leader Zaldivar was to appear.
Without fully explaining the action, Alfonso Marquez de la Plata, secretary-general of government, said the government held the program ''not appropriate for the present moment'' and that it was ''suggested'' to the rector of the University of Chile, which runs the channel on which the program was to appear, that he cancel it.
Raquel Correa, host of the popular show, protested. She said: ''I am pained, angry, and frustrated'' by the action, adding that she does not now believe ''a political opening'' exists.
She is not alone. Despite the various decrees that end particular aspects of military rule, many Chileans feel they are little more than window dressing to keep the military in power.
Moreover, there is some feeling that these steps would not have been taken if recent antigovernment demonstrations had not brought serious concern to the military.
While that point has some validity, Chile's much-touted political liberalization actually began before the worst of the clashes between antigovernment demonstrators and the police in mid-August. At least 27 people were killed and more than 100 wounded, with a thousand or so detained in that clash. The military used brute force to crush the protest, sending 18,000 Army troops into the streets of Santiago against the unarmed civilians.
Immediately after that incident, General Pinochet declared the country was stable enough to lift the stage of emergency and asked the Roman Catholic Church , with which he has long feuded, to arrange a meeting between the newly named interior minister, Sergio Onofre Jarpa Reyes, and opposition politicians of the Alianza.
Several sessions have taken place. But the dialogue has been broken off by the opposition because of subsequent heavy-handed police attacks on some of the opposition leaders and the arrest of Rodolfo Seguel Medina, leader of the copper workers' union.
''How can you dialogue with someone,'' asks Mr. Valdes, ''who talks one minute and hoses you down the next?'' - a reference to police using water hoses on him and other political leaders during a demonstration Sept. 9. Large demonstrations took place last week, as well.
Where the liberalizations go from here is an open question.
At the moment, Interior Minister Jarpa says the government fully intends to support the political liberalization. But he does not give many details.
Mr. Seguel has now been released and charges against him dropped. But it took his 11-day hunger strike, the protests of the Alianza, and the intervention of Juan Francisco Fresno, the new Roman Catholic archbishop of Santiago, to secure his release. General Pinochet said he released the labor leader as ''a special deference'' to the archbishop.
Opposition leaders are clearly wary.
Alianza leader Valdes says, ''There will be dialogue only to produce change and not to strengthen the regime.''
How to assure that is probably the biggest challenge facing the opposition.

"…[the state of Virginia is] so great and honorable that, no matter into what part of the world you go, when you say, 'I am a Virginian,' you are expected to be an honorable, brave gentleman or lady; and I hope that you will all try to keep up the reputation which the sons and daughters of the Old Dominion have always had." – Mary Tucker MagillI am a Virginian, and very proud of my heritage. As such, I suppose it was inevitable that I would eventually come to appreciate that wonderful weed successfully commercialized for the first time in 1609 by John Rolfe in Virginia; that weed that built Virginia's economy, and was even used as currency for many years by early settlers; that weed that is today so demonized by politicians and the press. That's right; I'm talking about tobacco.
|Fun Fact: The world's first
ever anti-smoking campaign
was perpetrated by the Nazis
in Germany. Make of that
what you will...
Now in the realm of tobacco smoking, there are three main options: cigarettes, cigars and pipes. Among these big three, which should we choose? Let me give you my opinion of each from experience.
Most people I know who smoke cigarettes don't do it because they love the taste of tobacco; you can barely taste the tobacco in most cigarettes. Those who smoke cigarettes generally do so because the cigarette is a convenient vehicle to get as much nicotine as possible in a short amount of time. It's sort of like people who drink Bud Light; I know they don't do it for the taste.
Moving on to the next option, cigars are certainly a good smoke on special occasions. However, I've found them to be an intense, and sometimes overpowering, experience. They require a long amount of time, and leave you with sticky hands and a sour stomach. Also, if quality matters to you, they are fairly expensive. No, I understand the appeal of cigars, but they aren't for me.
|That's me. Quiet.
Intellectual. Manly.
The problem I often see with pipe-smokers, however, is that while they're smoking, they're constantly fiddling with their pipes: tamping, stirring, and relighting. It often appears to be such a fussy ordeal that I wonder why they want to smoke a pipe at all. Surely they don't enjoy the constant and careful tending of their tobacco bowl.
Pipe smoking should be about enjoying the taste of the tobacco, and enjoying good conversation with friends while you do it. It shouldn't be fussy or complicated. Now, the real secret to having a good smoke with a pipe is all about what happens before you light up. If your pipe is packed correctly, you can smoke it all the way through smoothly without relighting or constant tamping. So allow me to walk you through the steps of packing a pipe so that you can enjoy your pipe without the fidgeting.
Step 1: Start with a clean pipe.
If your pipe hasn't been cleaned, do so. Make sure the bowl is clear of buildup, run a pipe cleaner through the step several times, put it to your mouth and suck in to make sure plenty of air is drawing through.
Step 2: Fill your pipe loosely with tobacco to the top.
I usually keep my tobacco in a plastic bag, and just stick my pipe in the bag and scoop up the tobacco in the bowl. You can sprinkle to tobacco into your pipe, but I find I waste tobacco that way because some inevitably falls on the ground.
Step 3: Pack that tobacco down so that the pipe is now half full.
You can buy one of the pipe tools with a tamper to do this, but I usually just use my thumb to do the job. The tobacco should still be springy after you tamp it, but it should be packed tight enough that it doesn't spring up and fill the whole bowl again. If your tobacco is too tightly packed, your pipe won't draw correctly and will go out. If the tobacco is too loosely packed, then it will burn too quickly and the bowl of your pipe will get hot. This can damage the pipe and burn your fingers as well.
Step 4: At this point, fill the pipe again with loose tobacco, and tamp it down once more.
This time you're aiming to have the pipe ¾ full of tobacco. It should still be springy to the touch however and not rock-hard. Perhaps you should take a draw on the stem to make sure you're still getting good air flow through the packed tobacco.
Step 5: Now fill the bowl to overflowing once more, and this time just gently press it down so that some of the tobacco is still sticking up from the bowl. At this point we're ready to light it.
Step 6: Hold the stem of the pipe in your mouth and draw slowly while you hold your match or lighter to the tobacco. Move the flame in a circle around the tobacco until it begins to smoke and you see the edges burn and crinkle. Then take it out of your mouth. We're not quite ready to smoke yet.
Step 7: Now tamp down the tobacco flat with the top of the bowl.
You should have a pretty even bed of ash covering the top of the rest of the tobacco. This will ensure that you get a nice even burn.
Step 8: Okay, now we light it for real. Put the pipe in your mouth again, and using the same method as before move the flame evenly around the bowl of the pipe. This time, however, draw deeply on the pipe so that the flame is pulled down into the tobacco and the pipe begins smoking in earnest.
That's it! Your pipe is lit. If you've followed all the above steps correctly, then you should be able to smoke through your entire pipe without a relight. Once the tobacco burns down a bit, you may want to give the ashes at the very top a little stir to break them down, but don't tamp the tobacco again once you've lit it! That will only put out your pipe and make you have to relight it again!
|And there you have it, folks!

It didn't take you long to get to Godwin's law, did it?
Also, I'm not sure how one can get drunk on Bud Light, unless one drinks a lot. Or has a very low alcohol tolerance.
I don't think Holmes would have worn that bright orange shirt, but I suppose that's you prerogative. ;-)

I can go from zero to Godwin's law in 12.7 seconds. The same amount of time it takes a VW Beetle to accelerate to 62 mph. And of course you know about the Volkswagen Beetle...
Also, yeah. Bud Light is all about quantity. I once knew a guy who made fun of people who bought nice beers because then it costs more to get enough to get you drunk. Which just goes to show he wasn't in it for the taste.
And yep, I didn't go for the Sherlock Holmes imitation. That part is only optional. ;)

View Highlights From The Armory Show 2016 (56 Photos)
From Thursday, March 3rd to Sunday, March 6th on Piers 92 and 94, more than 200 galleries showed at the 22nd edition of the famed Armory Show which was led by new director, Benjamin Genocchio. Attendance was strong at the gallery and so were sales, at least of established artists. Buoyed by a fluctuating and falling global economy, collectors were wary of spending the big bucks on lesser known artists but emerging artists with work at lower price points fared well. This cautious buying trend echoed that of recent large art fairs, such as last October's Frieze Art Fair.
One big winner of the week was painter (and recently, sculptor) Kehinde Wiley. Sean Kelly Gallery sold the most of Wiley's work. His painting, Equestrian Portrait of Philip III (2016) went for $300,000 and was surpassed by Bound (2015), a bronze sculpture that was recently part of his show at The Brooklyn Museum, which sold for $375,000. Another Wiley painting went for $250,000 at Daniel Templon's booth. Sean Kelly Gallery also had several other sales at lower price points with four pieces by José Dávilla going for between $16,500 and $37,500. A Callum Innes painting at Kelly's booth went for $51,400.
In the same value bracket, other works sold included a group of pieces by Michaeil Pirgelis, which moved on opening day at Sprüth Magers who have just opened their first US space in Los Angeles. The gallery's sales started out strong with the $175,000 sale of MS40-2947 (2010), a steel work by Sterling Ruby. It was placed in a Middle Eastern private collection. Burlap Rag (2015) by Analia Saban went for $28,000 at the same booth but the most exciting sale for Sprüth Magers was probably George Condo's Primitive Modern Head (2012) which sold for an undisclosed sum that was probably upwards of $200,000.
Speaking of galleries expanding in the United States, Lisson Gallery will be opening a space in New York in a couple of months. Lisson's Armory Show booth generated sales from work by Tony Craig and Spencer Finch for between $50,000-$200,000. Although work by the artists who will be featured in their NYC space, John Akomfrah and Ai Weiwei, had not moved by Saturday.
Galleries who already have spaces in the city fared well at the show, especially those who dealt in the work of emerging artists. Rivington street's On Stellar Rays sold their entire booth's presentation of paintings by Ryan Mrozowski and Julia Bland. The LES gallery, 11R, moved three abstract $45,000 pieces by Jackie Saccoccio as well as two Mika Tajima textile pieces for $30,000 each. Work by Evan Nesbit, Jerónimo Elespe, and Moira Dryer sold for between $12,000 and $14,000 at the same booth.
Several notable sales were made in the much higher end of the spectrum. It's rumored that a Alberto Giacometti piece went for at least a million although the highest confirmed sale by Saturday was a $500,000 piece by Alberto Burri. The sale signified the art world's new interest in the post-war period of Italian Art.
It wouldn't be a true art fair without some celebrity sightings. Whisperings of the fair revealed that George Lucas purchased a painting by Robert Indiana for a hefty sum at Maggiore Gallery's booth. Other stars in attendance were Neil Patrick Harris, Steve Martin, and Drew Barrymore; musicians David Byrne and Michael Stipe; director Sofia Coppola; and newscaster, Anderson Cooper.
