skimpy collecting history is given as:
[before 1987] Robin Symes (London, England), sold to Barbara and Lawrence Fleischman, 1987. 1987 - 1992 Barbara Fleischman and Lawrence Fleischman, American, 1925 - 1997 (New York, New York), sold to the J. Paul Getty Museum, 1992. Trying to put on a brave face after wiping the egg off, they announce:
"The decision to return this object continues our practice of working [...] to resolve issues of provenance and ownership of works in our collection in a way that responds to new information as it emerges [...]"The key point though is that in any respectful and respectable (respect-worthy) acquisitions policy of any portable antiquity, collecting and verifying the full information of how a particular object the museum is interested in acquiring got onto the international market and left the source country should be a sine qua non of any further considerstions. Obviously, if the Fleischmans had not themselves obtained such documentation, the Getty and its Trustees should simply have walked away from the proposed 'deal' wit them.
The dealers' defiant "they-can't-touch-you-for-it-legitimacy" came undone in this case.
This object was 'grounded' by the Italian authorities presenting a joining fragment found more recerntly near naples. How can collectors claim to be 'preserving art' if the process which leads to it coming on the market in fact divorces fragments of the whole one from the other due to lack of proper excavation?

For seven years, 39-year-old Gina Ferguson has worked in her dream job as a heart transplant coordinator at Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, where she has counseled and cared for hundreds of transplant patients. When she chose her field of work, Ferguson knew it would be rewarding, but she never knew that one day, she would have the opportunity to give what most of her patients have received, the gift of life. A few weeks ago, Ferguson donated a kidney to a very special patient – her father.
Ferguson's father, 68-year-old Dennis, had battled high blood pressure for years. When it became clear that medicine was not going to effectively control his condition, Ferguson mentally prepared herself for the fact that he may one day need a transplant. In May of 2011, her father was diagnosed with kidney failure. He was put on the national kidney waiting list, but Ferguson knew that she would step up to be his donor and that he would look no further.
"I am the only child and I knew dad and I were the same blood type, making me a likely a match as a living donor," said Ferguson. "The thought did not scare me. I was at peace with it from the beginning."
A potential living kidney donor must meet certain age and health criteria, as well as have the same or compatible blood type as the recipient. Gina Ferguson was tested and found to be a perfect match for her father.
Dennis felt comfort in knowing his daughter had worked in the transplant field for years. "She really took charge and led me through the process. I knew everything was going to be ok," said Dennis.
A transplant wasn't immediately necessary, so the pair waited for the Northwestern Medicine® transplant team to determine the appropriate time for surgery. Ferguson, a triathlete who had put her race plans on hold for 2012, wasn't used to sitting around and waiting, so she focused her energy on raising awareness for organ donation and transplantation through volunteer efforts with the National Kidney Foundation. Just one week before their scheduled transplant, on National Kidney Day, Gina traveled to Washington D.C. on behalf of the foundation to lobby for extended Medicare coverage for immunosuppressive drugs, which are medications recipients must take for the rest of their lives to prevent organ rejection.
Ferguson has always felt she understood what her patients were dealing with, yet being on the other side of the fence has given her a new perspective. "I'm a transplant coordinator, daughter of a transplant recipient and now a transplant donor," said Ferguson. "This experience will allow me to support my patients in a very special way."
"Gina takes great pride in her job," said Edwin McGee, MD, cardiac surgeon at Northwestern Memorial and surgical director of heart failure, heart transplantation and mechanical assistance for the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute. "She has always cared for patients like she knew what they were going through. And now she really does."
After a year of being sick, Dennis says he has a new outlook on life. "It has felt like Christmas every day since I received my new kidney," said Dennis. "I can now live a healthy and fulfilling life. I will forever be grateful to my daughter."
Ferguson feels she is the one who has been blessed. "I am grateful I was healthy and able to be a living donor. I feel as if I am the one who received the gift."
Northwestern Memorial has the largest living donor kidney transplant program in the country according to 2011 data from the United Network for Organ Sharing. To learn more about the transplant program, visit the Kovler Organ Transplantation Center online, or call 312-695-0828.

Serotonin syndrome in a postoperative patient

Depression is common in patients with ischemic heart disease. According to mental health surveys, approximately one-fifth of the patients with angiographic evidence of coronary artery disease have major depression. [1] It is well-recognized that stigma associated with mental disorders leads to individuals avoiding treatment or concealing treatment for them. We report a case of serotonin syndrome that occurred during postoperative period in a patient who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. The patient was receiving 60 mg/day fluoxetine for the last 4 years, which she and her attendants concealed during the preoperative evaluation. To our knowledge this is the first case of serotonin syndrome, reported in biomedical literature, in a postoperative patient. We suggest that history taking should also focus on antidepressant drug intake by patients. If serotonin syndrome occurs in such patients aggressive and timely management can help avert mortality.
Keywords: Cardiac surgery, fluoxetine, serotonin syndrome

There were a few things I already do sometimes. That sounds lovely. As long as you don't stay in bed that long every day, I'd say that's fine. I was very unproductive at work yesterday. And after grocery shopping I was also pretty lazy at home. But Saturday!

What You Should Know when Decorating Your House
Owning a home and decorating it to your satisfaction is everybody's dream. A person feels very comfortable when they own a house that is beautiful and unique to their taste. Someone's personality and interests can be displayed in the manner that they decorate their house. Though someone may prefer to do their own d?cor, it is, however, advisable to seek an expert to guide you through the process.The following are great ideas to consider when decorating your house.
To start with, it is important to have an idea of how you want your house to look like. These ideas may come from you if you are sure of what you want. There are some great ideas you can think of and fit perfectly.On the other hand, it is possible to get decorating ideas from magazines and websites. For more practical ideas, you may visit an interior d?cor company to view their houses.
When you decide on what you want, engage an expert to discuss the matter. The experts will advise you on floors, painting, wall patterns and furnishing the house. Every single detail will be covered by the experts to help the house owner's dream become a reality.The theme of the house and the main color which is usually determined by the theme should be agreed upon.
It is always safer to paint your wall using neutral colors to avoid disappointments. To avoid changing colors every season, it is wise to go for neutral colors. For each room, think about the color combination you want to incorporate.These days, people do not paint the same color in all rooms, but rather paint a different color for each room. This enhances the beauty of the house and makes it distinctive. In addition to this, include wall hangings in your house.These comprise of artwork prints, nature photography, paintings among others. By doing this, visitors will be excited by your walls.
It is also important to decorate the floors. Black and white vinyl tiles can be used to create a beautiful pattern on your floor. Other great materials for decorating your floor are ceramic tiles and marble.For furnishings, it is advisable to look for quality fabrics for your pillows and cushions. Consider learning their maintenance requirements before purchasing them. A fabric that is easy to clean is ideal but it should be of good quality too.
Subsequently, if you need a home office, it doesn't have to cost you much. A home office can be furnished using items of furniture that you do not use anymore.Any chair, desk or cabinet that is not useful in the house but in a good condition can be put in the home office.

text: "Panabay" is a genre tag with little clout. But if the Panama City-raised, Oakland-based hip-hop twofer Los Rakas keeps growing in visibility, that should change. Cousins Raka Rich (aka Rico) and Raka Dun (aka DunDun) have repeatedly gone to bat for their neologism, most notably by creating two mixtapes in a series called Panabay Twist. Their specialty is a fusion of clubby, bass-thick beats, empowering swagger, barrio pride, and multicultural idealism. (Three-quarters of their lyrics are in Spanish, the rest in English, and Jamaican dancehall and Puerto Rican plena figure into their instrumentals.) Los Rakas also have big releases forthcoming: "Desorden," a dancefloor-favoring, Diplo-produced single, and Raka Party, a new record, are on track for 2013.

Today, December 9, 2009, is one of my favorite days of the year. Why is that? Because it marks the very last time in 2009 that I will be in airplane and be at O'Hare Airport.
Yes, with three weeks to spare, I will not do any more flying in 2009.
Sadly, I managed another 100000+ mile year with American Airlines - 61 "segments" = about 30 trips, so on average flying twice a month...hey, that doesn't sound too horrible does it?
Sure, AA makes it pleasant enough - pretty much automatic upgrades on all domestic flights, lots of "Thank you for your business, Mr. Feuerstein" when I step onto a plane, invitation to visit all the first class lounges of co-share partners like Japan Airlines and British Airways when I travel internationally....yes, somehow I survive.
Still and all, I very much prefer being at home (even if it is cold and snowing).
Wishing the best to everyone during the holidays,

Like an Olympic athlete, I practice, learned, and refined my ability. This post marks my 100th posting since I started this blog last May. I wanted to make this a personal milestone for me so I have made changes to my site becoming a .com (love to say that), changing the site design, and adding my own "store" to sell my art. Lots of changes, a lot of research and trial and error, but I worked the kinks out and here it is in all its glory. It's a proud moment, I admit.
Also in the works is my first show at Studio Six in Gig Harbor. I hung the work yesterday and then left quickly before I could hear comments. It's a scary thing showing your work out there for the first time all alone. I am especially grateful to Kathy Gates who was my first patron, and a huge supporter of my work as an artist. Another first because of Kathy and her generosity. She also fell in love and purchased my Dancing with Myself painting. It, too, is now hanging in her studio.
I'd love to hear your comments on the new look and additions.
There are two new pictures to share from Sharon Tomlinson's Diary of Faces class. Both were by the Norwegian impressionist painter Harriet Backer, 1845-1932. Born in Holmestraud, Oslo, Backer worked in Munich, Paris and Norway. The child was taken from her Red Cap painting.

by Najlaa A. Al-Nashi, with Noah Baker Merrill
It was only a few seconds – the shoes were flying toward President Bush, and with them a huge insult in Iraqi tradition.
You may have heard the news that an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at the American president, but as an Iraqi I'd like to share with you a few details about the journalist, and why he did that.
Muntather Al-Zaidi, the journalist mentioned in the reports, is 28 years old. He is from the Southern city of Nasiriyah and lives in Baghdad. He works for the Egyptian-owned Al-Baghdadiya channel, but he is Iraqi.
Muntather is well-known as being against the occupation. Several months ago, he promised his brother that, if he was ever selected to interview President Bush, he would throw his shoes at him as a sign of his outrage and opposition to Bush's role in the suffering of his people and the destruction of his country. At the time, his brother thought it was nothing more than words spoken in an angry moment.
Muntather's last reporting assignment, which ran last month, was an investigation of the conditions for Iraqi widows and orphans. As a result of three wars, the rule of a dictator, devastating sanctions and a disastrous occupation, it is estimated that 5 million children are without at least one of their parents and there are 1.5 million widows. As he prepared this report, he was deeply impacted by what he saw, and he can be seen crying in the film that was broadcast in Iraq.
Now let's have a look on what's going on in Iraq and how these events are viewed among Iraqis:
At Baghdad University and Al Mustansiriya University, students have refused to study or attend classes. Instead, they are protesting and asking for the release of Muntather by Iraqi security forces.
From all over the world, Iraqis are sending messages thanking Muntather and his family for their son's message. In TV interviews and with phone calls, Iraqis are expressing their support of his actions.
Many Iraqis inside and outside their country are saying that "for each action there is a reaction." Bush hurt everyone, they say, and so why is he surprised when he is met with an angry and insulting response on behalf of the people of Iraq?
In Iraq, the traditional community is deeply rooted in tribal relationships. Whether Sunni or Shi'i – and some tribes contain members of both sects – in Iraqi tradition if a member of a tribe takes an action or is in trouble, members of his tribe will represent him and will be responsible for supporting him.
But in Muntather's case, tribal leaders from throughout Iraq, from the North to South and from East to West, have claimed him as their son. They have said that they want him released safe and sound, offering to pay whatever fine the government will set for him.
Muntather's action has, for these days, united Sunnis, Shiites and Christians. It united Iraqis as Iraqis. And it only took a few seconds.
Sunni and Shiite tribal leaders have publicly asked that Muntather not be referred to using his tribal affiliation, Muntather al-Zaidi, because they believe his tribal affiliation now encompasses all the tribes of Iraq: They've asked for him to be referred to as "Muntather Al-Iraqi" (Muntather the Iraqi). At the same time, the tribal leaders have said that they hope it is now clear that they have only one enemy – the occupation of Iraq.
Tribal leaders from throughout Iraq, from the North to South and from East to West, have claimed him as their son. Muntather's action has united Sunnis, Shiites and Christians. It's united Iraqis as Iraqis.
The Iraqi response shows clearly that Muntather's actions have triggered a deep release in Iraqi society. It gives an indication to the outside world how much so many Iraqis oppose the occupation and the ongoing presence of foreign troops in their country but have been without a voice that cut through the walls of silence and the filtered mainstream media.
It is important to be clear that this action by a single man does not arise from his role as a journalist or from some specific incident or time in his life. It comes from an Iraqi man who, like all of his people, has suffered greatly from occupation, from the actions of mercenaries like those employed by Blackwater Worldwide, from the torture of Iraqis by American soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison and elsewhere, and from the sectarian violence that the occupation has cultivated, fueled and allowed to thrive. Muntather himself was kidnapped a few months ago, though thankfully he was released alive.
Now let's stop to analyze the situation. Why do so many Iraqis consider Muntather "their son" and why are they calling him a hero? Why are people printing his photo and distributing it in many parts of Iraq as a symbol to promote Iraqi courage and freedom?
His actions expressed the same anger and pain they feel. But his actions gave it a voice, and in that one small action he lit a spark in them that reminds them of their history and their dignity. His symbolic act of protest told the whole story, cutting through the carefully constructed image that has been built by Bush and his supporters since they defied the U.N. and the world to invade and occupy Iraq.
Getting back to responses:
More than 200 Iraqi and Arab lawyers have volunteered to defend him in Iraqi courts, if they are given that opportunity.
One Iraqi businessman signed a blank check and called on Munthather to make it out for any amount, as long as the businessman could receive the shoes that Muthather threw. Another man from Saudi Arabia offered $10 million for the shoes.
Muntather's nephew is about 6 years old. He was shown on video carrying another pair of his uncle's shoes, and he told Al-Baghdadiya channel that he was prepared to throw this second pair of shoes, too, if they wouldn't release his uncle.
In Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, there have been strong expressions of support, including protests and celebrations.
Many Iraqis are saying that the situation in Iraq now is like it was before the revolution in 1920 which threw out the British occupying forces. They're saying that Muntather might be a spark for a new revolution in his country.
In recent days, there have been protests all over Iraq asking for Muntather's release. Crowds in Najaf threw shoes at occupying forces. The streets of Iraq are filled with anger as people learn that Muntather has been beaten and tortured while in the custody of U.S.-supported Iraqi forces.
Yesterday in Jordan, a good Iraqi friend of mine got into a taxi cab. For Iraqi refugees in Jordan, riding in a cab often means insults, scorn and disdain from Jordanians and Palestinians unhappy to have so many Iraqis seeking refuge in their country. But this time, it was different. The cab driver treated her with respect. Recognizing her Iraqi accent, he said he'd take her anywhere she wanted to go, and he would do it with pleasure, because she was one of the "shoe throwers."
His case is not just a personal case – it is a national concern. Yesterday parliament had a meeting to help in releasing him. The news yesterday was that within two days he would likely be released, after having paid the fine for his actions under Iraqi law – 200 Iraqi dinars, or, after the catastrophic collapse of the Iraqi economy in recent years, less than 20 U.S. cents.
Today, though, the situation remains tense, and has worsened. The Iraqi government says he will likely have to serve 7-15 years in jail, with no possibility of paying a fine to be released.
But in spite of this news, it does seem as if they will have to release him soon. If they don't, they risk losing the tenuous control they have in many parts of Iraq. Muntather's actions could serve as a spark bringing Iraqis to unite to oppose the occupation and the U.S.-supported government. Anyone who knows Iraqi history knows very well what the anger of the tribes can do.
Before the British were thrown out of Iraq in 1920, an agreement on the status of occupying forces in the country had just been signed. Under the pressure of a sustained national uprising opposing foreign occupation, the troops left far sooner than the British occupiers had hoped.
It may well be that the agreement that Bush and Nouri Al-Maliki signed just before the "moment of the shoes" will fail before 2011, following the same course. Many Iraqis today hope so.
Meanwhile, Muntather is still in jail, where he has suffered serious injuries, likely including a broken hand and arm, an injury to his eye and possibly to his legs. Today there were protests in many of Iraq's governorates demanding his release.
I remember, in the early days of 2003, it was said that invading U.S. troops would be "greeted with flowers." No one said anything about how Iraqis would say farewell to Bush and his occupation.
Najlaa Al-Nashi is Middle East coordinator and Noah Baker Merrill is an administrator for Direct Aid Iraq, where this story was first published. Direct Aid Iraq (DAI) supports displaced Iraqis through providing funds for crucial medical expenses. It works in partnership with the Electronic Iraq news and analysis website.

I rearranged my books. Kept the colour-coordination, but decided not to go true ROYGBIV. By adding a couple of floating shelves from IKEA, covering the exposed wall, I was able to place all my books in one spot, rather than on shelves in seperate rooms. Taste the rainbow. Sort of.

Anon - no lack of respect for anyone's beliefs but you have to wonder what the parish council was thinking when the sculptor showed them drawings of the planned statue.
I fell off my chair laughing when I saw the first photo and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the second. This is truly hilarious !
Thanks for the good laugh - I've passed on the link to your post to a number of friends, I know they'll love it.

Crikey, Bob,
It's truly wonderful to see religion keeping up with modern trends in society.
Here, down-under we must populate or perish. So it's encouraging to see the church getting down to basics.
Nothing subliminal about this message !

Supporting charity and reducing IHT – a match made in heaven28 September 2016
As a result of rising house and share prices, the amount of inheritance tax being paid has never been higher. Statistics revealed by the HMRC show that Inheritance Tax receipts for 2015-16 were around £4.7billion – an increase of 22% on the previous year. However, with careful planning, this bill does not need to be so painful. The figures show that in 2013-14, 38% of estates worth over £2 million paid no tax as more people used exemptions, such as the inter-spouse exemption, Business Property Relief and the lesser-known charitable gifts exemption, which was introduced in 2012.
David Smith, Director of Financial Planning at Tilney, looks at this relatively new IHT tax exemption, which enables you to reduce the amount of tax you pay upon your death, while funding a cause close to your heart.
"Let's be honest, very few people who are potentially subject to IHT would choose to hand a large proportion of their estate to the taxman and, not everyone has the backing of a financial adviser / tax adviser to structure their affairs in an IHT 'friendly' manner. But, by incorporating a simple bequest to charity in your Will, you can limit the amount of IHT you pay.
"Bequests to charity are exempt from IHT, ensuring that 100% of the gift is received. However, a lesser known fact is by doing so and gifting at least 10% of your 'net Estate' (by net Estate that is the value of your taxable Estate less your applicable IHT nil rate band) you can in turn reduce the level of IHT from 40% to 36% on the remaining value of your taxable Estate.
Without bequest to charity
With £17,500 gift to charity
Total value of Estate
IHT Nil Rate Band
Net Estate
Gift to Charity
Taxable amount
Inheritance Tax Payable
£70,000 (40%)
£56,700 (36%)
Remaining Estate to beneficiaries
"This ultimately results in your family / beneficiaries receiving less than they would have originally, but for those with charitable intentions you can effectively gift a significant amount, at only a fraction of the effective cost. In the example above, a gift of £17,500 to charity would reduce the size of the Estate passing to remaining beneficiaries by a mere £4,200. That's effectively a 316% uplift.
"This is by no means a way of gifting more to your children and is certainly not a tax dodge, but is instead a worthy, not to mention a highly tax efficient method, of gifting to those who really need it."

Feedback and suggestions are being actively solicited from the public. Many of the projects on beta620 won't see the light of day on the NYTimes.com production site. But some will "graduate" (Google Labs-style) and become features of the main site. Three of the seven projects are currently "featured" on the beta620 site.Community Hub is definitely the most exciting of the projects, in my opinion. The Times recently shuttered its TimesPeople social networking function, but with promises to bring back a new system soon. While not officially acknowledged on beta620, it appears as if Community Hub is the development version of the new TimesPeople. It's essentially picking up where TimesPeople left off. Right now, there are a lot of similarities between TimesPeople and Community Hub, but as the project progresses, it will be interesting to see how Community Hub becomes different from TimesPeople, in both functionality and design.TimesInstant is like Google Instant search for Times content. Using the Times article search API, the search auto-completes, and makes instant, context-based suggestions. The third project is the Crossword Web App. Times crossword lovers who own iPads will love this project. Quite simply, it's the Times crossword puzzle in HTML5, which makes the puzzle iOS-friendly.The other projects are: Longitude: A map that displays where news is happening based on geotagging; The Buzz: A heat map based that's based not on clicks, but on social sharing of articles; Smart Search Bar: An enhanced search function for the NYTimes.com homepage; and Times Companion: A system that delivers in-article contextual information on particular topics. The Times employs some of the best developers in the business, so it's very exciting to see a website launch to showcase what they're working on. Share http://adweek.it/2kPU4tk copy Adweek Adweek

In, 2000, Georgia Scott became fascinated with the fad in the US Black community of wearing headwraps. Her passions overtook her, she re-arranged her life and parted for a year-long voyage to discover why women in various parts of the globe cover their heads, who wears headwraps and what they have in common. She seemed to have found more variations than commonalities. Head coverings can be made of silk, muslin, gauze, wool or other fabrics that are tied, wrapped, folded or twisted.
In many countries, such as India, Jamaica, Kenya, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates, they are worn mainly for religious reasons. The way a headscarf is worn in the United Arab Emirates, for example, not only indicates a woman's country of origin, but also hints at her interpretation of the Qu'ran and its edicts on feminine modesty. In other regions, headwraps reinforce social differences, distinguishing the wealthy from the poor, men from women and clans from other clans. Or they mark major events. In some ethnic communities in rural China, for example, a headwrap indicates a woman's coming-of-age: the embroidery work on the turban of a young Yao woman in the mountains of Thailand indicates that she is able to make clothes for the family and is therefore ready for marriage. In some countries headwraps are an integral part of daily life. In Morocco, Mali and Niger, for example, harsh climate conditions make headwraps a daily necessity, while in other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, traditional headwarps are reserved for special occasions, such as weddings and official state functions.
Headwraps are worn in atleast 44 countries in the worlds. In her travels, Scott traveled to 32. While she includes men's head coverings in her writing, she admits what they wear pales by comparison to the women's attire. The use of headwraps in these countries is changing through the effects of globalization. Scott has been able to document important cultural images and offer interesting insights to the nuances of what is worn on heads around the globe.
The bright, attractive photos will attract reluctant readers while students who are interested in history, geography, cultural and women's issues will naturally gravitate to this book.

When you say deep sea, what depth will you be plumbing.
Deep dredging is one of my most favourite ways to fish reefs as there are so many varieties of fish.
You can effectively fish to 25 meters but after that it becomes hard.....even more so if there is a raging current.
If I could make a suggestion and say load up with T14 rather than lead lines it makes a big difference to sink rate.
Ideally you want the fly to be heavy to sink as fast if not faster than the line to be able to keep in contact.
To be honest, the reef fish are going to crunch anything that comes down looking like food.
My go to flies are big clousers with lots of movement in the tail and collar.
Think marabou, rabbit strips etc.
I also like a lot of flash for deeper water as it stands out well.
Try get the fly really deep before retrieving and hang on.
Good luck.

|Holly Feral (photo by Eve White)
Former Vol State student Holly Feral found that foundation while at Vol State, and she's now putting her skills to use with a special publication of her own creation in Portland, Ore.
Driftwood is a quarterly travel and culture magazine exploring the vegan lifestyle around the world. The magazine recently completed its $25,000 Kickstarter campaign, raising nearly $28,000 to see the the project through. The first issue is expected to be released in July.
Feral, who eventually moved to the Pacific Northwest following her time at Vol State, saw a need for a magazine that celebrates and explores the vegan communities of the world, so Driftwood was born.
"Most vegan publications are really targeted at people who are not vegan. They're really targeted towards people who are thinking about becoming vegan, so they're more focused on convincing you to be vegan. There really aren't a lot of magazines focused on people who are already living the lifestyle," Feral said.
While at Vol State from 2003 to 2006, Feral studied journalism. She had her hand in all three of the college's student publications. She wrote for The Settler, was editor-in-chief of The Pioneer, and headed up the resurrection of Squatters' Rites. Those experiences editing the magazines and writing for the paper helped Feral get a strong handle on the skills needed to see publications through to the end product.
"I really enjoyed being able to find other really talented people and figure out what they were really talented at and help them shine," she said.
Those important skills learned at Vol State helped her get where she is now as editor-in-chief of Driftwood, which she called a dream come true.
"My dream in life has always been to write a publication, to travel, and to use my storytelling to bring people together. It was a really exciting time at Vol State, and it really made me value all of the fundamentals of journalism and the excitement of journalism. Vol State was integral to my development," she said.

I recently Googled to see what was out there on the subject, and was shocked at what I found. There seemed to be a lot of information, but many of the facts are so often lost in the stories told.
Lets dispell a myth first: there is no dollar threshold that constitutes being in business as an artist.
(e.g at $5,999 its a hobby and at $6,000 you are conducting a business)
So how do you determine that you are conducting a business?
The following indicators must be considered when determining whether you are carrying on a business;
- Whether the activity has a significant commercial purpose or character; this indicator comprises many aspects of the other indicators;
An amatuer will undertake their activities for personal pleasure, a professional on the other hand will use their abilities towards a commercail end.
- Whether the artist has more than just an intention to engage in business;
If it is your intention to carry on a business, do the following apply?
Regular activity, systematic, organised, business like approach to the activity, attempts to bring the art work or services to the public, actual sales of art work or services to the public and so on.
- Whether the artist has a purpose of profit as well as a prospect of profit from the activity;
Is your motive to make a profit? Are you marketing your art, creating industry contacts, offering and selling your work to the public, doing commissions and consulting, publically exhibiting your art, entering competitions and building your reputation?
Even if you are doing all of these and no profit is made, that doesn't exclude your motives.
- Whether there is repetition and regularity of the activity;
As the artist are you producing regular work and participating in regular activities to promote and enhance your standing as an artist?
- Whether the activity is of the same kind and carried on in a similar manner to that of the ordinary trade in that line of business;
Are you carrying on your business like a recognised industry peer, do you have qualifications, recieve public recognition, becoming eligible for Government Grants, been offered positions on a board or as a teacher?
- Whether the activity is planned, organised and carried on in a business like manner such that it is directed at making a profit;
As an artist, do you keep good records of income and expenses, use contracts to record agreements, use business professionals, have a business plan, rent exibition space?
- The size, scale and permanency of the activity.
The activity must be beyond your personal needs and the volume of output must be sufficient enough to provide your work to the relevant markets.
So if you are in the business of being an artist you would be attempting to build public recognition, and awareness of your work, find suitable markets to sell your work so you can gain a profit from your abilities.
On the other hand if you are creating art for your pleasure and the sales that are made are to family and friends. The costs involved far outweight any income received and there is no intent to make a profit, then your creative work is considered a hobby.
I have attached a link to taxation ruling TR 2005/1, it contains about 45 pages of reading, with examples and cases.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt utterly masters the Bruce Willis squint, where the action hero narrows his eyes, furrows his brow and purses his lips.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt utterly masters the Bruce Willis squint, where the action hero narrows his eyes, furrows his brow and purses his lips. He gives us a little of the Willis smirk, the one Bruce breaks out when he�s about to let-go a whispered threat. Yeah, JGL has that whispered threat thing down, too.
Levitt needs to master All Things Willis for �Looper,� in which he plays a time travel-era assassin who discovers that his latest hit is on himself � the AARP-eligible version of himself.
Loopers are the fellows who, in the future, stand next to the very spot that some poor hoodlum from the future is shipped back to, already bound and hooded. The looper shoots the guy with a short-range shotgun, still called a blunderbuss. And if the looper is smart, he�s already got the victim lined up to land on a tarp, to make cleanup a snap.
Joe is such a looper, a favorite of The Boss (Jeff Daniels), a loner who hoards the silver ingots that future crooks use to pay him (strapped to the victim�s body), who is addicted to the latest drug � administered through eyedrops � and a little too fond of a stripper/hooker (Piper Perabo).
But a crime boss of the future, nicknamed �The Rain Maker,� is sending aged loopers back through time to be executed by their younger selves. Which they dutifully do, even as they realize they now have only X-number of years left to live.
Joe is tipped to the agony of this decision by his nervous pal Seth (Paul Dano). So when his future self (Willis) shows up, Joe is downright conflicted.
�Why don�t you do what old men do � and DIE!�
Imagine a young Bruce Willis blurting that out to the grizzled, bald action-hero Bruce Willis we�ve all grown to know and adore.
�I remember what you do right after you do it,� Old Joe explains to his �self-absorbed and stupid� younger self � and us.
Botching this job means that Joe Present and Joe Future are on the run from both The Boss�s minions and each other. Each Joe wants to stop the other Joe from �ruining my life.�
Emily Blunt shows up as a rural Kansas farmer who figures into the story. Children enter into the plot. And things get a lot more complicated, to say the least � with flashbacks, alternative futures and the like.
What would Einstein say to all this? Or Doc Brown and Marty McFly?
Movies about time travel always present their imponderables � what sort of future could it be where �disposing of a body is pretty much impossible?� And when we see somebody die in that future, what sort of dilemma are those future-killers facing?
Using silver as a timeless currency makes sense. But ingots are not exactly pocket money, are they?
Writer-director Rian Johnson has concocted a tale with elements of �Terminator� and �Back to the Future,� as well as �Jumpers� and �The Omen.� It�s a science fiction film that gives you a lot of plot to chew on and some genuine moral dilemmas � about sacrifice, guilt, heinous crimes to protect the greater good and what-not.
The whole thing bogs down on the farm, and at times, figuring out where this clue or that map came from, why this time-jumper loses body parts, one by one, and Old Joe doesn�t � trips it up.
But �Looper� is loads of fun. And when that �Die Hard� reboot comes around, all of Hollywood has this as Joseph Gordon-Levitt�s audition for John McClane. Can he say, �Yippee ki-yi-yay?� Don�t you know it.
3 stars (Grade: B)
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels, Paul Dano

3 Strategies for Risk-Proofing Your company Technique
How can you achieve your company technique? How can you proceed a company in one program to a different?
The solution is really a task or even group of tasks as well as some abilities known as task administration.
There's a inclination to consider THIS or even Building anytime task administration is actually pointed out. In the end, individuals features require task administration to maintain all of them on the right track. As well as there's a cause task administration is really vital that you individuals features. Grounds that's distributed to any kind of genuinely proper effort.
Any kind of accurate company technique may mix the actual silos which create in your company. I am not really referring to advertising methods which are yet another term to have an marketing campaign. I am referring to developing a start up business, presenting a brand new path towards the organization, presenting a good development, responding to some marketplace. Those stuff that genuinely impact the organization exactly where this life. Many of these tend to be accomplished with a task or even number of tasks.
Among the regions of issue that each task supervisor quickly discovers to cope with is actually danger administration. Not really insurance coverage, even though that may be a choice. Instead the actual decrease as well as deterrence from the unwanted effects associated with danger occasions.
In the following paragraphs, I will reveal 3 ideas which I have discovered risk-proofing your company technique through my personal several years within task administration as well as entrepreneurship.
I am not really heading to get involved with the entire "risk is not that which you believe this is" dialogue right here. I have protected this within additional content articles as well as weblog records. However being an business owner or even BOSS, you should know as well as realize the actual distinction in between the danger, the danger occasion, as well as a good publicity. The reason why? Simply because you are actively playing in the region in between — each with regard to possibilities in addition to risks. Rather, in the following paragraphs I will concentrate on the actual risk aspect from the formula.
1. Programs function greatest once they can be found
I understand, this seems foolish. However creating a company or even sustaining a company is really a issue associated with using the actual equine. You need to be continuously responding in order to what's going on close to a person. As well as occasionally (most times) there's a inclination to try and travel through the chair of the trousers. However having a danger occasion, you have to be in a position to respond rapidly. Success frequently depends upon this. Certainly, your own capability to impact occasions depends upon this. However in order to respond rapidly, you should know exactly what your own response will probably be. Which means you have to arrange for danger occasions in advance.
two. Understand what the danger occasion appears like.
The number of occasions perhaps you have recognized what's occurring following it is currently occurred? Despite the fact that there have been obvious indicators. A person nevertheless did not begin to see the risk occasion occurring. Among the benefits of planning danger occasions is actually that you simply determine the actual features from the danger occasion. Among the crucial features may be the predictor. In a nutshell, the main danger administration strategy would be to determine exactly how you will be aware the danger occasion is happening. Another component is really checking for all those indications.
3. In no way dedicate unconditionally.
Points occur. Stuff that ought to occur do not. Stuff that should not occur perform. Should you just possess 1 option, you have instantly elevated your own publicity. Bad. Using a strategy in position to avoid or even slow up the results associated with danger occasions is actually just about all nicely as well as great. However without having the drop back again strategy, you'll ultimately enter difficulty that you simply cannot get free from. Without having any kind of options after that just about all that you can do is actually trip the actual horse from the high cliff. As well as within real life which has a tendency to destroy each attach as well as driver.

Winter wonderland
Take a look at the most recent set of photos of the views, Louie, flowers Robin sent and the ducks.
Louie and I are having a great time ... hanging out, tromping through the snow, harassing -- uh, herding -- the ducks. It will be tough to go back to my place, that is for sure.

The Monthly Grind
What is the Grind? Well, it's an evening of "family entertainment" that costs $5 for adults, $1 for kids. If you bring a dessert item, you get your $5 back. Once you arrive, find a seat; the place gets packed! This is vital if you are going to enjoy the hour-and-a-half entertainment event. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
The show I went to consisted of a short story reading, followed by a set of trombone duets. I knew one of the trombonists (he was the guy house sitting here the week I was in Juneau). Then, a couple of guitarists played and sang. This was followed by the big event: Intermission.
Intermission is when you get to have dessert. What desserts they have. Wow, it was very hard not to eat those wheat-laden, delicious smelling items. You are encouraged to bring your own cup to reduce trash and waste.
Then, the middle school jazz band performed. They were awesome! Hard to believe they are middle schoolers. The last performance was a trio of 3 women singing harmony. They were fantastic, too. (I don't think I'll be up there with Tasha and my keyboard any time soon.)
The grand finale is the awarding of prizes for the best desserts. Who knew?!? They were good prizes -- significant gift certificates by local merchants. I'm gonna enter Mom's fudge next time (I think I'm in town then).
The venue is terrific. It's at the Sheet'ka Kwaan Naa Ka community house, home of the Tlingit Dancers who perform in connection with Sitka Tribal Tours during tourism season.
If you missed The Grind, don't worry. It plays on the local cable channel in rerun ... airing right after my presentation to the Sitka Chamber of Commerce.

Santa, helicopters and more
The parade floats were 10 pick-up trucks, each with a wooden frame in the back that had chicken wire stretched across the frame and an outline of lights. A few of the "floats" were hand-pulled carts with their own set of lights and decor going on. It's no wonder that the paper kept printing a call for generators. The parade lasted about, oh, 6 minutes.
This week they held the annual holiday lights contest, with Mayor Marko (yes, I've met him several times) as one of the judges. This is no ordinary lights contest either. You actually win prizes ... like a turkey, a bottle of wine or a $50 gift certificate. One stipulation is that you have to be home at the time they do the judging.
The community also hosts a free Christmas Dinner for all. How cool is that? Speaking of cool, it's not too late for you to get up here for the Solstice Dip, scheduled for December 22.

Duck detail
Actually, it wasn't so bad rounding them up yesterday. I got 10 of 'em in (one stray joined the group ... maybe 2 and I missed one of the originals ... it's hard to tell) and one squirrel.
I'm sure they will make up for their cooperation yesterday with antics today.
In the meantime, Louie was groomed yesterday and looks quite dashing. He's looking forward to showing off his new 'do today on our walk.
Ah, life in a small town!

Herding ducks
The process is pretty much like you'd think. I make a lot of noise banging the lid where their feed is stored. Then I throw some corn around and call out, "Here ducks. C'mon ducks." Then I hope for the best. Yep, it's a good system.
Fortunately, I rounded up 9 ducks and was able to shut the door. I'm not sure they're the right 9 ducks but anyway, they're in! It's not my fault that some wild ducks sometimes hang out with these ducks. There are anywhere from 9 to 15 ducks hanging out at any one time.
Gotta love it ... it's Alaska!

An entire month in Sitka
I spent the past week in Juneau, the capital city, for work. Let me tell you -- it was frigid. Highs in the single digits, wind blowing down off the glacier (Mendenhall), car engine blocks frozen. Yeah, it was cold. I saw downtown Juneau with my VISTA leader Liza (she's fabulous), spent time with SEAtrails board Ron and stayed at his and Molly's house (really, really nice), attended the annual Gallery Walk in downtown, saw Ron's boat and had a margarita (first one since June!). The really big event was that I went shopping at Walmart. I know, I know ... but it's really hard to find that stuff in Sitka, where there is nothing but the grocery or the Ben Franklin.
Now, I'm back in Sitka, house and dogsitting at my friend Davey's house till the end of 2007. It's right on the water, gorgeous. Plus, I'm with my best bud Louie, hiking poodle extraordinaire. I'm here till after Christmas and Louie and I are gonna have a great time. The only catch is that there are also 9 ducks (outdoors) that I have to feed and try to herd up at the end of the day to get them in their pen. I'm not sure if you've ever tried herding ducks but it isn't easy. Tonight, they're spending the night outside. At least it's a balmy 37 or so degrees!

Unique e-mail topics
- I am looking for a Petri dish to use in our new interactive exhibit down here in the reception area. I need one that is approx 3" in diameter and in good enough shape to be holding two beaver teeth on the display shelf. If you have one, and don't mind lending it for 4 weeks, please let me know, or better yet, stop by and see what we are doing down here!! There will be some interesting exhibits displayed down front. Thanks, and have a great day!
- Thought I might point out a factual error: On Camping and Hiking in Bear Country you refer to "grizzly" bears as "ursus arctos horribilis." I believe that "ursos arctos" and "ursos horribilis" are different names for the same bear, excepting for habitat. You can refer to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game site for more specific information.
- The doctor adjusted my medication recently so if we've had a conversation lately about reserving a conference room or anything else, don't be upset if I forgot it. If you reserved a conference room, come and check to make sure it really is reserved. Don't be surprised to find me a little sleepy at the desk either.

Beautiful but brisk
It's nearly as cold as it will get here in sunny Sitka by the Sea. We're into day 5 or so of brilliant sunshine and brilliant blue skies. The night-time stars have been brilliantly bright as well.
But, days without clouds means the temperature drops. Today's high temp is @ 13 degrees with a windchill of 3 degrees. Fortunately, it's warming back up to the usual 32 degrees tomorrow. (You can always check out what it looks like in Sitka by taking a look at the webcam.)
Unfortunately, I'm headed to Juneau, where it is currently 5 degrees with a windchill of -13 degrees and only warming up to 18 degrees. Brisk! I think that's too cold to ski.
If you are a fan of the cold, you'll want to make sure to take part in the Polar Dip, scheduled for December 22. According to the local paper, the Sitka Sentinel, "Dip psychologists will be on hand to offer direction and Certificates of Insanity. Hot chocolate and other incentives will also be available for dippers." (I'll let you know what the "other incentives" are.)

Mellowcat and friends are recently returned from Ireland. Have you been? If not, you should go, at the earliest opportunity. But before you leave, I have a few things to say. I don't have any travel advice for you, other than that you should go, which I have already said. Just a couple of observations is all. Check this out, and then I'll ask you a few questions.
That looks like Ireland, doesn't it? What if we take away the stone wall and the church ruins. Still Ireland? Ok, now let's fill in the green pastures with an oak and ash forest. How about now? You're probably looking at the side of an oak tree in this scenario. Still Ireland? I didn't think so. Yet, that was Ireland before people arrived. Pretty much one big forest. I used to think that the deforestation was a relatively recent event (see: England), but they started in on the forests in the Bronze Age, and didn't let up until the 19th century. Ireland was once 90% forested, and they brought that down to 1%. It's rebounded some, but not without modern-day issues which I will leave you to investigate further, dependent on your interest level.
Here's another scene of present-day Ireland.
This is in The Burren, which I hope to return to one day for further exploration. I won't ask you to picture this with soil and trees, but rest assured that it once was forested. Bronze Age man got to it first.
What I am saying here is that the image of Ireland we treasure is one of our own making. And when I say "our" let's say for the sake of argument that we're Bronze Age people, Viking invaders, or British shipwrights.

Got home (immediately after a thundershower) and had a chance to work on the boat a bit… still wasn't sure how to handle the filler piece between the stem and the keel, so I was going to plane on the aft end of the keel/skeg some more, clean up some stuff around the motor well, etc.
First I uncovered the bow so I could get a picture of the stem.
Well, once I had it uncovered I somehow got into making the filler piece to fill that gap. Cut one, fit pretty well. Cut the other, it fit even better. Got them glued up and here's the result.
Doesn't look like that much, but came together nicely, and I should be able to get it fitted onto the hull in the next couple of days. The "square" side will be rounded off to make a nice curve between the bow and the bottom. I left it square to ease mounting and gluing.
