Baren Digest Wednesday, 17 October 2001 Volume 17 : Number 1589 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Cucamongie@aol.com Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 09:33:51 EDT Subject: [Baren 15972] spelling?? Josephine, when reading your e-mail I let out an audible squawk. My significant other, Jeffrey, asked as to the reason for this squawk. I read your e-mail out loud and he let out a great GUFFAW, after which he replied "The silent "u" seemed to have drowned while crossing the Atlantic. While this is still subject for hot debate, the use of the word "incorrect" is inappropriate, unless of course we want to throw dictionaries at each other. By the way, though e-mail is often a highly abbreviated form of communication it always bothers me when apostrophies are dropped from contractions."

He insisted that it was spelled without the u. Then we got on the spelling of flavour. I just named a print "Cherry Flavour". He insisted that I mispelled the title of the print. I believe that you can probably spell them either way and be correct. I prefer the old fashioned way of spelling. Maybe we should go back to Chaucer?????? Funny this happened just at the same time as the conversation on the net.

Julio I was wondering when someone would come up with the next "Year of the the...." exchange. Love horses and this would be a great subject. Like Jean E. I have always wanted a horse, this is a close as I will ever get. Count me in, I will ride Western style. None of this side saddle for me.

Sorry to have missed the Conference this year, but I have positive plans to attend the one next year in New Orleans. Anyone else planning on that one? All that Jazz!!!!!

Pete White is going to put together the Signup list for the New Year Horse exchange......so go ahead and send him a PRIVATE email with your name and address to: Pedrobot@aol.com As soon as Pete has the signup page up, we will publish the url so that you can check it out from time to time. The way this exchange works is that you make enough 4X6" (approx.) New Year cards to mail to EVERYONE on the list. You are responsible for mailing your own cards (there is no collation like in the usual exchanges). If you are ouside the US and want to save a few $$$, a few of us here have already volunteered to do a mass mailing for you if you include the local postage. The cards can be in any print media of your choice ( no giclees or computer printed works). They can be mailed "naked" or in envelopes of your choosing for protection. If you mail early, keep checking the signup list till the deadline (12/21/01) to make sure that you don't forget to sent to last minute entries. Make a lot, last year year we had close to 60 entries. Try to get them mailed out by mid-january 2002. I will put together a website like last year to display the horses. Here are some links to the images for the 1999 (Dragons) and 2000 (Snakes): http://www.skokienet.org/bandits/jcrstuff/snakes/ (2000 Snakes & a link to last year' Signup list) http://www.acay.com.au/~severn/Dcards.htm (Dragon cards from PrintAustralia forum) http://www.skokienet.org/bandits/jcrstuff/dragons.html (animated dragons, takes a few seconds to load the applets, worth the wait) Enjoy and have fun with this very informal exchange.........

Bea I will respond off line as our den mother (it's an endearment Wanda) is gonna be upset with ... non related Hanga stuff.... and sending individual posts, rather than ganging them up. ....

The New York Artists’ Circle, a group of over 200 artists mostly based in Manhattan, are calling on other artists and art lovers to submit their artwork to be joined together in a huge “Unity Canvas” that will be displayed in New York and ultimately other parts of the country. Artists and art lovers may feel sometimes that they can not do much in the face of the unspeakable horror of the disaster at the World Trade Center and the times to come. But we need only think of works like ‘Guernica’ and ‘In Flanders Fields’ to know that art fills a void that everyday words sometimes cannot. In this spirit we ask you to join us in a new project. We are seeking squares of canvas to put together in a large-scale artwork about the tragic and heroic events at the World Trade Center. This piece will commemorate our fallen, honor our heroes, express our sadness and anger, cheer our spirit, show our strength and make tangible what we feel. The individual works may be painted, silkscreened, written, embroidered, or submitted in any other media of the artist’s choice, so long as they are on unstretched canvas or other heavy material and measure 12” square exactly. The pieces should be sent to: The Unity Canvas 451 Greenwich Street, 3d floor New York, NY 10013 The initial deadline for submissions is December 1, 2001. In the weeks, months and years to come, our country will be tested in ways none of us have seen in our lifetimes. In our own small way, we hope the Unity Canvas can help. For additional information, call 212/274-0108 or look at the Unity Canvas website at www.unitycanvas.com. ### ------------------------------ From: "Colleen" Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 09:04:25 -0400 Subject: [none] Dear Members, thank you so much for being so kind with me.
