Art Eyewitness Book Review: Bruegel The Master
Bruegel The Master
by Manfred Sellink, Ron Spronk, Sabine Pénot and Elke Oberthaler
Thames & Hudson /$60/305 pages
Pieter Bruegel the Elder was a painter for "all seasons." In the case of his six-part depiction of the changing cycle of the year, Bruegel created one of the great glories of Western art. Five of these oil on panel paintings survive and were shown together in a magnificent exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna - just concluded.
This was truly a once-in-a lifetime exhibition, held four hundred fifty years after Bruegel's death. Less than fifty of his paintings are known to exist today. Bruegel painted on oak panel, a seemingly durable format, yet the ravages of time have proven stronger. Consequently, the rarity of Bruegel's oil paintings makes loaning them an especially hazardous undertaking.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum has twelve of the Flemish master's paintings in its collection, making it the natural site for an exhibit of Bruegel's work.

The rest of Bruegel's masterpieces are scattered in European collections, save for three in the U.S. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's golden-hued Harvesters did not make the journey to Vienna. The Parable of the Sower, likewise, stayed home at the Timkin Museum in San Diego, California.
There is no substitute to seeing art work in the original, even with significant omissions in a special exhibition. And the Kunsthistorisches exhibit was indeed a mighty endeavor, with forty of Bruegel's oil paintings, sixty drawings and eighty prints - the greatest number ever assembled.
As an added bonus, the Kunsthistorisches Museum curators displayed period artifacts seen in the paintings. In the photo below, we see a pair of dice, a trencher plate (made from crusty bread which was eaten after it was soaked with sauce from the meal) and a slotted spoon used in cooking fish and mussels during Lent. All appear in The Fight Between Carnival and Lent. Beyond is a wall-size reproduction of Carnival and Lent, providing an IMAX-like viewing experience of this fabled work of art.

What a show! But if - like me - you were not one of the fortunate art lovers able to journey to Vienna, take heart. Thames and Hudson has just published a superb companion book to the exhibition.
Bruegel the Master is extraordinary in the quality of its text and illustrations. The fidelity of the large-format color reproductions to Bruegel's actual paintings is outstanding even by today's high standards. This Thames and Hudson volume ranks with The Prado Masterpieces as one of the outstanding art publishing ventures of recent years.
In some ways, close study of Bruegel's oil paintings and works on paper in a book like this is the best way to comprehend his images. This may sound like putting a brave face on missing the exhibition. However, the level of detail in Bruegel's work is so staggering that information "overload" quickly sets in, even when viewing a relatively uncluttered painting like the Met's Harvesters.
Bruegel was a storyteller of the first rank. He was also moralizer of almost prophetic stature. Bruegel's wondrous paintings are filled with incident and symbolism. It is virtually impossible, in one viewing, to fully comprehend the narrative sequence and allegorical sub-plot of one of his works, much less a gallery full of them.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Fight between Carnival and Lent, 1559
The Fight Between Carnival and Lent provides a particularly incisive look into Bruegel's enigmatic views on life and art. This incredible painting also underscores the rivalry of obvious versus hidden meaning which we find in almost every work by Bruegel.
Bruegel shows sensual delight in all its myriad forms on a collision course with religious devotion. From the left, revelers push a beer or wine cask, surmounted by Carnival, the Lord of Misrule, who brandishes a scepter on which cuts of meat and a boar's head are skewered. From the right, Lady Lent, with two scrawny fish on a baker's oven paddle, is followed by well-behaved children eating waffles and pious, soberly clad adults giving alms to the poor.
Everywhere we look on this crowed canvas are characters given over to folly or those trying to keep their feet on the "straight and narrow." But the key to this dizzying scene is smack in the center of the painting.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Fight Between Carnival and Lent, 1559 (Detail)
Here we see a couple, man and wife, with a "fool" or jester walking before them. Everyday folks, John and Jane Doe, they represent the viewer, you and me. The woman carries an unlit lamp, signifying ignorance. The man has a strange bulge under his woolen gown. This is believed to represent the "baggage" of self, what we would call ego today. Will they (we) follow the jester and join in the merry-making. Or will they cast away their baggage, light the lamp and follow the path to the church at right.
Bruegel does not provide an answer. That is for us to decide. Indeed, the ultimate message or moral of most of Bruegel's paintings is placed before the viewer, awaiting his or her judgement.
If Bruegel was a one of the great creators of visual narrative, he was also a supreme master of irony. Nothing is exactly what it seems on the surface of his great works. In Hunters in the Snow, what appears to be a reassuring Winter homecoming scene packs a different, unsettling conclusion. The hunters have returned, safe on a snowy afternoon. In the distance, their friends and family enjoy ice skating or play "kolf," an early form of ice hockey.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Hunters in the Snow, 1565
Look, however, at what the hunters have brought back - a dead fox. If that's the hunters' contribution to dinner, then there are going to be a lot of hungry townsfolk this evening!
No self-respecting hunter would bother to bring a single fox carcass for the stew pot, especially with a pack of hungry dogs. The fox carcass is a trophy, the "scalp" of a dead predator who will no longer raid the chicken coop.
Hunters in the Snow depicts a world of unremitting toil where playtime is only possible off in the distance. The survival of the townsfolk depends upon the hunters' dedication. The woman bowed beneath on enormous bundle of kindling on the bridge in the lower, right-hand corner of the painting, plays her unsung role. And so too, do the toiling peasants, at left, who are preparing to slaughter a pig and then scald the bristles from the carcass.
All of this work is done in the bone-chilling cold of the Little Ice Age. Bruegel and the protagonists of Hunters in the Snow may not have been aware of the climate shift between 1300 to 1700 which significantly lowered the temperature in Europe. But no painter in all of history ever depicted the effect of winter weather on human beings more acutely than Bruegel.
Bruegel's life was tragically short life (1530?-1569). He made but one trip from his native Antwerp, a lengthy excursion to Italy, 1552 to 1554. But that trip was decisive, shaping his vision of the world. The arduous journey and sojourn in Italy appeared and reappeared in the subject matter of his paintings. The memory of traversing the Gotthard Pass as he traveled home surely is reflected in his The Conversion of Saul, painted in 1567.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Conversion of Saul, 1567
The vertigo-inducing look at the stragglers climbing up the mountain path leads us to the sight of the sprawling, blue-clad figure of Saul (soon to be the Apostle Paul). Surrounded by a concerned group of fellow travelers, Saul has been thrown from the saddle of his horse by a vision from God. One of the most influential figures in world history, Saul/Paul looks like he just fell from a bar stool.
We behold this pivotal scene like the two cavaliers, one in black, the other in a golden riding tunic. These riders are observing a moment in time when the earth shifts its axis, although they - and we - would hardly guess it from the misadventure taking place in the mountain pass.
Bruegel, a savvy observer of human nature, was equally well-versed in ancient culture and the scientific study of the world about in him. In their commentary in Bruegel the Master, Sabine Penot and Elke Oberthaler write:
Bruegel thinks and acts as a painter in the humanist milieu. He inscribes his main work within a tradition of artistic engagement with the annual cycle that reaches back to antiquity. He consciously confronts the legacy of natural depiction, already considered to be the ultimate standard by ancient authors. Bruegel takes a stand compositionally and technically by starting from, yet surpassing,the landscape tradition,which was especially rich in the Netherlands.
Bruegel's work was highly esteemed during his lifetime. The Hapsburg Dynasty favored his paintings and bought liberally. This is why there are so many of his paintings now in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum,Vienna's greatest art museum.
Life, however, was to play an ironical prank on Bruegel. Very little documentation of his life survives, leaving a lot of gaps in his life story. However, the Dutch artist and writer, Karel van Mander (1548-1606), wrote about Bruegel in his study of Northern European art called the Schilderboek, published in 1604. Without van Mander's biography of Bruegel, we would know little about him.
Karel van Mander's analysis of Bruegel's work emphasized the earthy humor and wry appraisal of humanity in many of his paintings. He also commented on Bruegel's apocalyptic paintings like The Triump of Death, filled with "weird scenes and drolleries."
All of this was true, but van Mander's study of Bruegel left the impression that the Flemish master was something of a joker. Van Mander wrote:
Indeed, there are very few works from his hand that the beholder can look at seriously, without laughing. However stiff, serious, and morose, one may be, one cannot help laughing, or smiling.
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, The Peasant Wedding, 1567
If we look at one of Bruegel's most famous paintings, we can see how van Mander reached that conclusion. We can also grasp how wide of the mark was this estimate.
Bruegel's The Peasant Wedding, 1567, is a joyous celebration life. We may smile at the over-sized beret on the child licking a bowl. Likewise, the look of anticipation on the bagpiper's face is priceless, as a tray of bowls of rijstpap or pudding, is brought in for the wedding guests to enjoy.
Yet, when we look at the serene contentment on the bride's face, we don't feel like laughing. Sitting in front of the green cloth of honor, she is queen for this day, her day. There is food and drink aplenty on this happy occasion. Wars and rumors of wars, of the kind depicted in The Triumph of Death, will not cast a shadow on this wedding feast.
Bruegel's The Peasant Wedding is a hymn to love and life. I wish I could have seen this wonderful painting at the Kunsthistorisches Museum exhibition. But such a transcendent work of art like this needs to be savored. It calls for our eyes to look at this painting - and Bruegel's other masterpieces - again and again, absorbing its message of humanity and hope.
Thanks to Thames and Hudson's Bruegel The Master, we can do that to our heart's content. ***

Mohammad Rizwan, who is currently playing for Comilla Victorians in the Bangldesh Premier League (BPL), stated that the role he plays with the bat up front is difficult, but he knows exactly what Pakistan or the franchises he plays for expect from him.
Rizwan has been one of the most prolific T20 batters in terms of runs scored. However, his style of play, particularly in the early innings, has drawn a lot of criticism because he takes time accelerate.
The Pakistan opener has hit a couple of decent knocks so far in the tournament, but both came at a low strike rate, and the other batters batted around him.
"It is a very difficult role. Sometimes it looks very embarrassing but I know what I do. Because what the team requires from me I will do the things. Because my coach, my skipper, my owners, and my whole team at Comilla are happy with my performance and everyone's performance who can anchor for everywhere," Rizwan said ahead of the second dhaka phase.
"Same in Pakistan and everywhere, whenever someone comes and hires you they have demands from you and your team would have demand from you, You can always assess the conditions and discuss this kind of things and I will always want to do the things," he said.
Rizwan went on to say that winning games is more important than what people want to see, such as quick-fire knocks.
"Sometimes it is embarrassing because in T20 he loves sixes and 35 or 40 ball 70 runs. But for me it is important that we can win the match and how can I put myself in the winning track for the team," he added.
Rizwan begins the innings with Litton Das, who has been the best batter of Bangladesh for a while now. The Pakistani batter trying to make a bond with the Tiger 'superstar'.
"Everyone knows Litton is the superstar of Bangladesh. For the last couple of years he has been performing well and he is in now form and Alhamdulillah me and Litton are trying to communicate the things although it is a short time. We are trying to make things easier for others as well."

A Savannah, Georgia mother is facing criticism after using Facebook Live to beat, berate and embarrass her daughter in front of her friends.
Shanavia Miller reportedly took over her daughter's Facebook, opened a live video stream and spent five minutes hitting and scolding her.
The video has since been removed from Facebook, but has been posted on YouTube by a third party.
According to the video, Miller was upset that her daughter had been posting alluring photos on Facebook.
"Everybody sees you know now," Miller can be heard yelling at her daughter during the video. She also says that she hopes the embarrassing video will go viral.
The New York Daily News reports that Miller later used her daughter's Facebook page again, this time to explain her actions.
Savannah police have not charged Miller with a crime, after her daughter told police she was safe in the home.

The judge's comment:
"A nice option for highly sustainable projects." (12/15/2022) NRG block or Insulated Concrete Form (ICF)? Which is better?
It's a common misconception that ICF's thermal performance derives from its thermal mass. It does not. Read about why not in this study, whose conclusions, based on a cold weather ICF application, state: "No thermal mass impact or higher effective insulation value was observed." NRG' s insulation placement is more energy efficient than an ICF's. Why? When thermal mass is exposed to a building's interior, it moderates the indoor air temperature. NRG's thermal mass does just that. Compare that to an ICF. An ICF places a layer of insulation between the thermal mass and the building interior, which greatly diminishes the effect of the thermal mass. Because the thermal mass effect in an ICF is minimized due its insulation configuration, an ICF requires more insulation to have the same thermal performance as an NRG block. See below for a more in depth explanation. Follow the science. Then act.
Here is what scientists say: Thermal Mass - Energy Savings Potential in Residential Buildings
J. Kosny, T. Petrie, D. Gawin, P. Childs, A Desjarlais, and J.Christian Buildings Technology Center, ORNL
"In certain climates, massive building envelopes-such as masonry, concrete, earth, and insulating concrete forms (ICFs)-can be utilized as one of the simplest ways of reducing building heating and cooling loads. Very often such savings can be achieved in the design stage of the building and on a relatively low-cost basis. Such reductions in building envelope heat losses combined with optimized material configuration and the proper amount of thermal insulation in the building envelope help to reduce the building cooling and heating energy demands and building related CO2 emission into the atmosphere. Thermal mass effects occur in buildings containing walls, floors, and ceilings made of logs, heavy masonry, and concrete.
This data shows that the most effective wall assemblies were walls with thermal mass (concrete) being in good contact with the interior of the building (Interior thermal mass and CIC-Concrete Insulation Concrete). Walls where the insulation material is concentrated on the interior side (External mass) were the worst performing wall assemblies. Wall configurations with the concrete wall core and insulation placed on both sides of the wall (ICI- Insulation Concrete Insulation) performed slightly better than Extmass configurations. However, their performance was significantly worse than CIC and Intmass configurations. The ICI configuration can be used for approximate analysis of the very popular Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) constructions, since ICF walls consist of the internal concrete core placed between shells made of insulating foam." Please. Look at the science. And then act upon it. Let's talk about your next NRG project.

'A Million Ways to Die in the West' Review: He's a West-ern Guyyyyy…
'A Million Ways to Die in the West'
Seth MacFarlane may not be the most ambitious or beloved comedy mind around, but he's damn funny, consistent and prolific. That's been enough to make him a huge success. Depending on your feelings for him, the new comedy Western 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' is just as good or bad as you've considered any previous Seth MacFarlane joint to be.
The weird thing about MacFarlane is that even though he's been at the center of pop culture for about a decade, the guy has really old fashioned tastes. If it were somehow possible to bring back Vaudeville, I'm sure he would have tried by now. Since that's not going to happen, he's gone and done the next best thing by making a Western. From the opening helicopter shots of Monument Valley, MacFarlane pays homage to the broadest and most glossy of 1950s Hollywood Westerns, and he does it well.
The plot comes straight of the generic Western playbook, with MacFarlane playing a loser sheep farmer in a nowhere town. He just lost his girl (Amanda Seyfried) to a smooth talking jerk with a spectacular mustache (Neil Patrick Harris, who else?) and everyone in town thinks he's a chicken for screwing up a gunfight. All the pieces are in place for MacFarlane to go on the hero's journey, which kicks off when a beautiful women (Charlize Theron) comes to town and teaches him how to shoot a gun, fall in love, and be himself. As an added bonus, she's also married to a super evil cowboy played by Liam Neeson.
Yep, the movie is pretty by-the-numbers, but that actually works in its favor. MacFarlane isn't an unconventional storyteller or an artist with a message. He's a joke factory with hundreds of TV episodes worth of experience and a stable of writers who can hang laughs onto just about anything. Just like how 'Ted' took the manchild and magic-best-friend genre staples and spun filthy comedy gold out of them, 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' takes old-timey Western conventions and adds hard R comedy to the genre's bones. Every bodily function, ironic racial stereotype and pop culture reference in the MacFarlane comedy repertoire makes an appearance, and the laughs come in big heaping doses. The movie also has plenty of failed gags, of course, but this is one of those comedies where the bad jokes don't matter because the next joke is never more than a few seconds away. Admittedly, the movie doesn't reach the lunatic highs of 'Ted' (it has nothing with quite the punch of the 'Flash Gordon' cameo), but this flick also doesn't have a movie-halting failed third act either. Ultimately, it balances out and both of MacFarlane's directorial efforts are about even in quality.
As an actor, MacFarlane is surprisingly watchable. He has a self-effacing, nerdy, goofball charm that works well even if he's outclassed by most of his supporting cast. Theron clearly has a ball raunching it up in an R-rated comedy and the fun she has is infectious. Neil Patrick Harris delivers one of his ironically nasty performances, and he's gotten so good at this schtick that it's hard to believe that he was once just that 'Doogie Howser' guy. Liam Neeson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Amanda Seryfried are all cast to type and they do it well. Sarah Silverman is somewhat wasted in a one-note role, but her natural comedic talent makes it feel like at least 1.5 jokes. Cameos fill the screen elsewhere. This is an undeniably well cast movie, which makes it work very smoothly as a joke delivery system.
MacFarlane might get a lot of hate from the comedy snob community, but compared to what Adam Sandler tries to pass off as mainstream comedy once a year, the guy is practically Andy Kaufman. 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' is exactly the type of laugh-til-you're-in-physical-pain-without-ever-challenging-your-brain mainstream comedy that should be the norm in Hollywood. It might not offer much more than laughs, but this type of comedy doesn't have to. If you've got a sweet tooth for MacFarlane's personal brand of good natured "offensive" comedy, then 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' is the exact type of choke-on-your-popcorn gigglefest that you crave during summer movie season. Many more ambitious and intelligent comedies will come along this year, but few will have this many genuine laughs. Hopefully that Seth MacFarlane kid sticks with this comedy thing. He's pretty good it.
What Did You Think of 'A Million Ways to Die in the West'?
It's hilarious!
It's pretty funny overall, but not quite great.
It's just OK.
It sucks major ass.
I'll wait for Blu-ray.
Seth MacFarlane is terrible. I'll never watch this.

I was going to skip this (at least until home video), but your review has me thinking about seeing it now…I was a big fan of TED, but had heard this one wasn't nearly as funny.
June 2, 2014 at 5:33 am - Reply
I really enjoyed this. The comedy was not quite up to where it was in Ted, but the story was much more solid. This made the movie quite enjoyable, and considering that it was a comedy, and Seth MacFarlane, you just really don't know where the movie is going to go. Shoot, it would not have surprised me if halfway through the movie, he killed off half his main characters.
I laughed and the movie had a well written story. There was a strong cast, and it was well directed. If you are a MacFarlane fan, you will probably enjoy this. And so glad I saw this on the big screen – the photography and scenery is amazing.

As demolition vote nears, casino's alliance with mayor becomes clear
Should Cleveland let Dan Gilbert tear down a 100-year-old building to make way for casino parking? Urban activists are getting ready to flood a meeting at City Hall Thursday to say no. They want the Landmarks Commission to block the demolition of the Columbia Building on Prospect Avenue, a designated city landmark built in 1908.
It's the biggest historic-preservation battle in town since the fight over the Ameritrust Tower four years ago. Preservation Ohio, the Historic Gateway Neighborhood organization, and the Cleveland Coalition, an activist group of young professionals, want to save the Columbia, which used to house Myers University and has been vacant for years.
But Gilbert's Rock Ohio Caesars says it needs new, modern parking connected to the Higbee Building casino. And Gilbert has Mayor Jackson's administration on its side.
A clash like this probably became inevitable as soon as Mayor Jackson nudged Gilbert to start his Cleveland casino in the Higbee Building. The mayor is a guy who values his commitments to others. So now that Gilbert's doing what Jackson asked, Jackson won't say no to the parking plan Gilbert says he needs. That's why Jackson's chief of staff, Ken Silliman, came to May's Landmarks Commission meeting and argued for demolishing the Columbia (upsetting this writer for Rust Wire).
The activists have a point when they say a mega-sized valet parking facility at one of Cleveland's main intersections, with several lanes of in-and-out traffic, doesn't honor Gilbert's commitment to fit the casino into downtown's urban fabric. The plan will surely make Prospect Avenue near East Fourth Street unfriendly to pedestrians.
But the casino operators are trying to attract customers like this letter writer who expect easy access to the slots. So when the preservationists say the casino should use older parking, like the May Co. structure across Prospect, Gilbert's people wave it off. They want the ultra-convenient, ultra-modern parking you see at most every casino, from Las Vegas to Detroit and Windsor.
Cleveland wouldn't be confronting this tradeoff between its history and its future if not for the casino's move to the Higbee Building. That's the bigger story here. You might remember that when we voted on Issue 3 in 2009, Gilbert was saying he intended to build our little Vegas along Huron Road, kind of hanging off of Tower City. You might also remember that, at first, people called Higbee's a "temporary" casino site.
There's nothing temporary about the Higbee casino anymore. Gilbert calls it "Phase I" and is poised to spend $350 million on it. "Phase II," the Huron Road casino project, has been put off until 2015 at the earliest. Cleveland Magazine columnist Mike Roberts has predicted that Phase II will probably never be built.
Jackson is committed to making the Higbee casino site work, so the pressure on the Landmarks Commission is getting stronger. Last night, city council voted to sell a parking garage near Quicken Loans Arena to Rock Ohio Caesars — which plans to link it to the valet parking operation on the Columbia Building site. Two Jackson Administration officials, sure votes to tear the building down, sit on the 11-member Landmarks Commission. The other nine members are about to feel the pressure to OK the wrecking ball.

It's not a building I feel strongly about ... as long as the casino's really going to happen (unlike the Public Square debacle with the Jacobs Group) ...
The view of the casino that was in this story will not exist, you would only see the bottom of the skywalk.

Anon. #2: Good point. Now we have to imagine the pedestrian bridge from the valet parking, connected to the building right at that corner facade.

Leica Sports Optics and Leica Camera Australia recently released a new laser rangefinder, the CRF 2400-R that offers distance determination of up to 2,400 yards (2,200 metres). Add to this, a new LED display that adjusts itself automatically to ambient light for better readability of the scanned distance and you have outstanding optics with the added advantage of 7x magnification.
Another great feature with the new CRF2400-R is its fast scan mode, with the ability to scan the surrounds and relevant target every 0.3 seconds and display the required measuring results accurately. In fact, up to 200 meters it will measure the results in decimal figures for extremely precise measuring. Like it's predecessor model, the CRF-1600, the new CRF2400-R will also determine equivalent horizontal range (EHR) relevant for hunting up to a distance of 1,200 metres when required. This in effect determines and provides the practical angle-compensation distance, essential for accurate long-distance shots.

We Must Expect & Demand Ethical Standard & Accountability
from Our Law Enforcement & Justice System!
Photo_picstopin.com
Our Constitutional guarantees are not just words on paper. They are as important - if not more important - as any part of our body. We cannot afford to waive them, surrender them, or take them for granted. To do so would amount to a betrayal of the Founding Fathers and the millions of people who have died to help establish and protect those rights.
Some mad genius has managed to normalize corruption and criminal injustice, while serving Americans with a cake baked with the notion that it is OK for law enforcement personnel to use lie as a weapon of mass destruction. The same evil genius that normalized corruption had also managed to draw the greater part of the media into the corruption orbit, thereby using major segments of the press and government officials as collaborators. In this pathetic militarized police state -- I mean perverted democracy, a trouble maker becomes anyone who challenges this absurd and distorted reality that somehow State and Federal Constitutional guarantees were simply written to make the country looks good and deludes citizens into a false sense of protection. The truth is, individual rights must be protected 100 percent of the time. We cannot continue to save our outrage for beating and murder by police. We need zero tolerance for official misconduct, abuse of power, and injustice.
In fairness, we have some outstanding law enforcement personnel and public officials, some of whom are working with me as we speak to bring about change. Unfortunately, the exceptions do not make the rule, and trying to clean up corruption in law enforcement and the justice system is near to impossible. In the hand of humans, power can really corrupt absolutely. However, beginning with the failed war on drugs and escalating with 9/11, police have made the biggest power grab in history. This power belongs to the people and should not be used against the same citizens from whom it is revived. With great power comes great responsibility, but in this atmosphere, the really fine police officers and other public servants who perform their duties every day with conscience and excellence are not able to shine. Therefore, everyone loses. We need all hands on deck all of the time, all over the country.
One more example of how our democracy has been perverted is in the fact that every other country, but The United States, recognizes a category of people called political prisoners (also known as prisoners of conscience, as those are individuals who get imprisoned for taking stands on the side of rights, justice, and democratic principles). The reason why we never hear about political prisoners here in the US is nothing short of Machiavellian. The power base in the United States has simply made it so that activists who challenge the system are typically charged with bogus crimes. This ploy not only circumvents the Constitution and the Geneva Convention, it is also an attempt to bypass the spirit of those individuals with enough courage, conviction, and determination to stand up for what is right. But most of all, it automatically isolates activists from human rights workers and cuts off the kind of support and advocacy human rights organizations can bring to bear upon the system, as human rights groups cannot get involved in criminal cases, however phony the charges. The only time human rights groups can engage in cases having to do with people charged with crime is, for example, in the case of prisoners of war, such as those held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
I was compelled to organize this campaign when I placed a non-emergency call to the Andover Fire and EMT department on Friday February 21, 2014. Without saying a word, the Fire/EMT attendant immediately channeled my call through the police department where the dispatcher picked up and started yelling in my ear, "We're not sending anyone to your house; stop calling - you already called us at 3:00." Well, I was on the phone with someone at 3:00. People keep forgetting that nowadays most of our actions are documented somewhere. Andover public safety did get an emergency call at 3:00 for an ambulance for my husband. That call was placed by my daughter. Either way, it was irrelevant whether or not I did make an emergency call at 3:00 and then called again at 6:00. In fact, I made that call to their non-emergency line in order to find out where they had taken my husband. Such a call should certainly not have provoked that type of hostility. The woman proceeded to tell me to google emergency. I do regret having hung up without telling her to google corrupt and stupid. In fact, police are not there just to respond to accidents, crime in progress, fire, or medical emergencies. Police officers also have a duty to respond to keep the peace, well-being calls, and other unforeseen events in the community.
All of this happened because I dared to complain and demand answers and accountability, after certain employees in both departments – particularly the Fire/EMT department – violated the spirit of the law and the codes of conduct and ethics, when I sought assistance earlier within that public safety complex. Nothing can make this right, but it is part of a larger culture of misconduct, which I have been fighting long before I ever came in contact with Andover police and EMTs. The problem with trying to stop people on high horses from running you over is that they will mark you for destruction, because they can never understand why they had run over so many people before without resistance.
This episode has brought this fervent democratic supporter to now wonder if the Party/ GOP, which she had come to despise, might be up to something, in terms of some of the rant by its members about government and power. What is crystal clear is that the Libertarian Party definitely has "The Power of The State" aspect of its ideology right. As a result, I am now looking far and wide for everyone who happens to believe in those principles that I have outlined herein, to contribute their voices to this campaign. I am seeking to bring cameras and lights in front of that complex (In Andover, both the police and fire departments are in the same building.) to try to figure out what exactly is going on between those two the departments. I have no doubt that when this happens, both departments will have their lies tied with nice little bows and lined up in neat rows, which will make them lies, nonetheless. I, on the other hand, will let the record speaks for itself.
In this respect, the "so" care about the people crow, major media organizations, such as The LA Times, The Boston Globe, and the New York Times - to name a few, and most state and federal government agencies are all failing the smell test when it comes to doing enough to get law enforcement personnel and the court to function within the boundaries of the law and ethics. These people have eaten from the poisoned caked into which our wicked genius has baked 50 percent misconduct and corruption as just some other ingredients. Who is in a better position to figure this out and denounce it than someone who happened to have bought into the notion that those people really stood for all that is right? Credit to Attorney General Eric Holder for working to make some important changes, but this lift is much too heavy for just a few scattered people or organizations to carry. This week, the governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, vetoed a bill aimed at allowing businesses, such as restaurants and hotels, and even individuals to refuse services to people they believe are homosexuals on the basis of religious beliefs. The bill, which was named "The Freedom of Religion Act" was also known as the discrimination law, a.k.a. the nice shirt - nice shoes, no service law. If signed into law, the bill, which was passed by the all-Republican legislature in Arizona, would have allowed public accommodation discrimination to take place against anyone. There is no doubt that Governor Brewer would have signed this bill into law had it not been for the outcry and protests by corporations and other business enterprises, including Delta and American Airlines, The National Football League and the MBA, Coca Cola, Apple, and more. The question is, where are those businesses and corporations when it comes to misconduct by law enforcement and injustice in our courts? Had those businesses and corporations get involved, stop-&-frisk would not have robbed nearly 1 million of Blacks and Hispanics of their human dignity and rights over a period of 9 years. Businesses cannot be selective when it comes to whose rights they want to help protect. Furthermore, the Civil Rights community, which is stretched to the limits, has worked side by side with the LGBT community in defense of the rights of people to no be discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. We need that community to engage and get fully involved with the 100 percent ethical conduct in law enforcement and justice for all movement.
Find 2 previous posts on this blog, both of which describe and support my claim that there is some type of corruption that needs to be addressed within those two departments. Also, browse the website to understand how far I have gone to support the democrats and President Obama's agenda. I will not be able to continue to extend this support without some tangible assurances that people I affiliate myself with will stand on the side of justice, ethical conduct, and the protection of rights for all, at all time, and under any circumstances. This is a drastic step. Unfortunately, it is one that is necessary to bring these pervasive problems to the forefront. We all have some responsibility to invest in the Greater Good. I, personally, feel an obligation to make these issues a priority and continue to work to inject ethics, morals, and principles into the system. When it comes to justice and rights, to accept just a certain level of functionality is to tolerate dysfunction.
Reprint this post; email and forward it to their network and circles of friends, followers, family members, supporters, and affiliates, in order to make this an exponential campaign. Post it to Facebook, Google Plus, and other similar social networking platforms; Tweet and retweet it. We will be posting numerous blog articles on these issues, including how the Andover Police Chief was able to bring about a partial resolution to this matter. However, in addition to this site, some of those articles may be posted on other websites around the web.

5 injured in rollover crash south of Albany
On behalf of O'Connor First | Jan 23, 2013 | Car Accidents
An auto accident can create life-altering consequences. Those injured in such accidents can incur medical expenses due to treatment, as well as lost wages due to hospitalization and recovery time. Such financial challenges can also be accompanied by anger and frustration if the car accident was caused by negligence.
Five people were taken to a hospital after an accident in Coeymans, New York, recently that took place at the intersection of state Routes 32 and 143, which is south of Albany. A 40-year-old woman who was driving, as well as her four passengers, a 15-year-old female, a 16-year-old male, a 16-year-old female and an 18-month-old female, were treated for non-life-threatening injuries when the woman's Jeep hit a snowdrift and left the roadway. The Jeep then smacked a guardrail, rolled over several times and eventually came to a rest on its roof. Three of the passengers who weren't wearing seatbelts were ejected from the vehicle during the accident.
The driver allegedly told authorities she had taken several prescription drugs earlier that day. Authorities believe that act might have impaired her ability to operate a motor vehicle and led to the accident. Some prescription drugs carry explicit warnings to avoid driving while taking them.
Authorities have cited the woman for traffic violations, and she could be charged with driving while ability impaired by drugs. If the results of the blood work show that the woman was indeed impaired, she could be classified as a negligent driver.

Will Mama Mio Omega Body Oil Work For You?
If there is one problem with any kind of body oil, it is that it is oily. It feels good putting it on your skin, but you don't really want to put your clothes on afterward, for fear of ruining them. So, if you like to take care of your skin, but you also want to protect your clothing, your bedding, and you don't want to walk around all oily, then you might want to try Mama Mio Omega Body Oil. Even celebrity trainer, Tracy Anderson, who has sculpted the amazing bodies of Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, is a big fan of Mama Mio skin care products.
What Is Mama Mio Omega Body Oil?
This is not just any body oil – it contains a mix of different oils, all of which are designed to help improve the long term health, elasticity and nourishment of your skin. Mama Mio Omega Body Oil contains Argan oil, Safflower oil, Sweet Almond oil, and Jojoba oil, and they are all natural forms of moisture. What is even more remarkable is the fact that although this is a unique blend of oils, it doesn't feel oily.
In order to get the most effectiveness out of this oil, all you do is apply it once a day, preferably after your shower or bath. It only takes a few seconds for it to soak in and then you can put on your clothing as you normally would. Your skin will be soft, but it won't be sticky or oily as you can sometimes get with other products.
Perhaps the best thing about Mama Mio Omega Body Oil is that it absorbs so fast. A lot of people don't like using body oil because they think that it will add more time to their shower routine, but that is just not the case. Plus, when you see the results, you will want to keep on using this for life.
What Are People Saying About Mama Mio Omega Body Oil?
A lot of the reviews for this product are written by people who have sworn off body oils because of how oily they can make your skin (and how they can also ruin your clothing), but once they tried Mama Mio Omega Body Oil, they were hooked.
It doesn't take a lot of time to put this on, and of course you can use it on all parts of your body. The added benefit is that it will help to firm up the skin tone over areas that are not quite as firm as they should be.
Although Mama Mio Omega Body Oil is a very popular body oil, it can be hard to find it locally. You can sometimes find it in some natural stores (because it is indeed natural), but you will have a better time finding it online. In fact, you can find the entire Mama Mio line of products online right now.
If you have dry skin, then there is no doubt that you should utilize Mama Mio Omega Body Oil as part of your shower regimen, but even if your skin isn't dry, it is still a great way to nourish your skin. You will start to see and feel the difference from the very first day that you use it and because this is an all natural product, you know that it is safe for your skin and your body.

C'est un climat tempéré à légère tendance continentale avec des étés chauds et des hivers froids, avec une amplitude thermique assez importante entre ces deux saisons. Les précipitations sont assez hétérogène sur l'année, avec un mois de mai le plus pluvieux de l'année. Le vent qui souffle une partie de l'année est la bise. Les gelées tardives sont peu fréquentes sur le village en général. Il y a bien quelques lieux-dits ou les risques de gelées sont plus importante (on parle de zones gélives). De violents orages peuvent s'abattre sur la commune avec rarement de la grêle.

Don't Be a Target for Credit Card Fraud!
On behalf of Consumer Law Group, LLC | Dec 28, 2013 | Firm News
As widely reported in the media, Target Department stores was recently a victim of a massive security breach. Credit and debit card information belonging to consumers who made purchases between Black Friday and mid-December has been obtained by hackers and may be sold to thieves hoping to cash in. The good news for consumers is that the quick discovery of the security breach has alerted the entire banking and credit industry, and most of the industry is closely watching out for suspicious transactions. Many banks are proactively alerting their customers that they are aware of the situation and have given assurances that customers will not be responsible for fraudulent charges. Federal law limits consumer's responsibility for fraudulent charges to $50, but most banks will not make a consumer pay anything. One reason that banks have been so proactive in addressing consumers' concerns may be a desire to avoid being inundated with requests to change account numbers. But, the banks' scrutiny comes at a cost to consumers, many of whom may experience difficulty getting legitimate charges approved. Additionally, some banks have limited the amounts that consumers can withdraw from ATM's.Despite these precautions by the banks, consumers need to take certain steps to protect themselves. Consumers should carefully review all bank and credit card statements to confirm that all charges are legitimate. If there is a fraudulent charge, consumers need to exercise their right to dispute the transaction The Fair Trade Commission has good instructions on how to do this on its website. It may be prudent to request a new account number from your bank, even if the bank says that it is not necessary. If a bank refuses to change an account number, then consumers might want to consider closing the compromised account and opening a new one. While consumers do have considerable protections from being ultimately responsible for fraudulent charges and withdrawals, the inconvenience of changing an account number or opening a new account may be better than having to deal with future hassles, inconvenience, and the temporary freezing of assets or credit. That is a decision that each consumer must make for themselves.
