Spanierman East Hampton Exhibits East End Artists: Carol Hunt, Darlene Charneco, Josh Dayton, Jonathan Thomas, Fulvio Massi, & Hans Van de Bovenkamp
Spanierman Gallery, LLC at East Hampton is pleased to announce the opening on September 25, 2008 of "East End Abstraction: Six Directions". Fostered by traditions of abstract painting on Long Island, the six artists in this exhibition seek to define personal aesthetic idioms within an abstract rubric, while drawing inspiration from their peers and historical sources.
Hans Van de Bovenkamp, "Sag Portal #6 Study", 2008 Bronze , 26 x 49 x 18 inches
Darlene Charneco begins with painterly surfaces on board, defines space and imagery using numerous hammered in nails, and adds additional paint and acrylic medium to her surfaces. Often her works "read" as pages or tablets, offering mysterious messages the meaning of which is hinted at while the viewer brings a personal interpretation into the equation.
Josh Dayton has integrated his early, expressive, abstract figurative works into a more simplified format. Large, overlapping shapes combine with gestural slashes of acrylic paint on a flat ground to create a sense of rhythm and tension within the picture plane, as though Matisse and Franz Kline were collaborating in the twenty-first century.
Carol Hunt relies on color and gesture to produce openly expressive paintings that find inspiration in nature, music, and world culture. Her canvas surfaces are often filled with bold strokes in dynamic interaction with intense color, usually revealing the presence of drawing moving in and out of the broad brushwork. Pastels and acrylic on paper works are sometimes presented in vignette form, as in the Daily Exorcism Series. Here, it is as though fleeting visual thoughts, experiences, and ideas were being jotted down to be analyzed for content at a later time--or taken "as is."
Fulvio Massi fills areas of canvases that are usually white by building his surfaces with a myriad of drawn, overlapping, curvilinear lines and somewhat spare areas of subtle color. It is the drawn line that dominates revealing suggestions of surrealist imagery, some more pronounced than others.
Jonathan Thomas seems to take his imagery from primitive iconography, creating sculptures that seem to stand as totemic sentinels. Presented in three or four sizes in height, with the same width and depth measurements, each is unique in design. The black acrylic on wood forms are embellished with pieces of rope and wood to give the impression of individual personages. Presented in a threesome, they could suggest a family; as a group such as a clan or village. The light painted canvas works in scroll form, with juxtaposed symbolic imagery made of wood and other materials, complement the form and mood of the works.
Hans Van de Bovenkamp works primarily in metal, usually welded bronze or aluminum. Flat planes are formed into three-dimensional curved shapes with concave and convex tops and sides. These are welded to other forms to create free-standing works, some of which serve as models for subsequent monumental outdoor pieces. His imagery is informed by cultural iconography, mythology, and philosophical concepts.

CORAL Teams Up with Leisure Pro to Save Coral Reefs
The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) has joined forces with Leisure Pro -- the Internet's largest scuba diving and snorkeling merchant--to raise awareness about the endangered state of our planet's coral reefs.
In observance of International Year of the Reef 2008, Leisure Pro is drawing on its extensive customer base to educate the public about reef destruction and the ways CORAL is working to protect coral reefs and the communities that depend on them.
To support this unprecedented partnership and CORAL's Take a Bite out of Fish Feeding campaign -- an effort launched in Hawaii to eliminate reef fish feeding -- Leisure Pro has agreed to stop selling fish food. The practice of feeding fish can have disastrous effects on coral reefs by altering predator-prey relationships and pushing delicate ecosystems out of balance. When people feed algae grazers like surgeonfish, the fish fill up on fish food and eat less algae, causing the algae to flourish and potentially smother the reef.
The #1 Killer In Corporate America: Bad Leadership
The 2007 employment market will be rich in opportunities for millions of job seekers who are no longer satisfied with their current positions. Companies that fail to keep their employees -- including their senior executives -- engaged "will create a fast-moving conduit of quality candidates that feeds their own competitors and their own failure," predicts staffing professional Eva Jenkins.
Jenkins sees a continuing trend towards a wide range of high-quality jobs opportunities offered to a shrinking pool of candidates. "When it comes to employment, it is a true Sellers' Market," she says, an area of major concern for corporate America. "The ability to retain staff will be juts as important as finding new employees."

New product preventing RSI
In 2002 the Danish system developer, Ulrik Dahl, came up with a good idea. He invented a way for tired "mouse clickers" to click the mouse with their feet. He did so because he was suffering so badly from pain in his fingers, hand and arm going all the way up to his shoulders that he was on the verge of giving up working with computers -- the pain he felt would not stop even after a long vacation. RSI was a fact and the solution was Foot-Click.
Ulrik Dahl has used a prototype of Foot-Click for 20 months now and experiences no pain in his feet or any other discomfort using this device. He has decided to offer the invention to other people suffering from RSI:

Captivating Stories of Author's Exciting Spiritual Journey in Third World Development
Outskirts Press, Inc. is proud to announce a book by Bee Biggs-Jarrell, Malawi Moonsmoke: Changing a Part of Our World -- One Life at a Time. There are so many millions of people living without education, without adequate food, clothing, or shelter, without a heart full of God's love, and knowing nothing of the Christ.
Recently widowed, Bee Biggs-Jarrell, a nurse practitioner, wanted to do what she could to help alleviate the world's suffering. She learned of a special project for the poorest of the poor children in Malawi, a tiny country in south-eastern Africa, who were dying unnecessarily of malnutrition, diarrhea, and vaccine-preventable diseases. They needed a qualified health professional to commit to planning, implementing, and operating the project. Along with her new husband, Ken, Bee spent two years in Africa applying the "public health model" to Nsanje District in Malawi's southernmost region. The world they found there was vastly different from their home in Idaho:
