About Laura: Laura Marie Diliberto is a photographer based in Queens, NY. Her subjects of her works range from conceptual to surreal. Laura explains her work by saying, “I am interested in images that have elements of story-telling, unique compositions, colors, and textures. I am often inspired by paintings, which is why I will often use digital brushstrokes over my pictures [in post-processing]. I have recently been interested in fashion and beauty photography as well.” http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...IouApmFj8/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...IouApmFj8/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...io:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...io:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...io:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/sK80BsHmiKQ More... |
Dekker [redux] - November 01, 2012
http://goodmorningkitten.com/media/k...kitten1767.jpg
Dekker [redux] Jill says: Martha, a beautiful three-year-old tortie, and her five kittens were with us in foster care for five weeks. When she came to the Fredericton SPCA, Martha was so skinny, she probably didn't weigh more than 5 lbs and didn't like to be picked up. (I think it might have hurt her because she was so thin.) Although she hissed and growled at first, she was head-butting and rubbing our legs in no time; sometimes purring and growling at the same time. She definitely came around and is now a very loving kitty. Martha is still waiting for her forever home but has found a new best kitty friend at the shelter named Big Mike. Dekker is the smallest of the boys but he has a big personality! He loves giving head-butts and having his head and ears scratched. He was great fun to foster and loved to play with any toy. He also loved to be around me, supervising what I was doing. Courtesy of: Jill Hudgins http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheDa...~4/ZrJdlGYjN3Q More... |

Hurricane Sandy Shuts Down Atlantic City Casinos
While the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event final table is cause for celebration in Las Vegas this week, the story is much different for another poker hotbed in United States. Atlantic City, New Jersey has been ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, displacing residents, destroying the famous Boardwalk, and forcing all twelve of its casinos to close. This may be the most exciting time of the year for the poker world, but there is no celebrating in Atlantic City today.
Atlantic City’s casinos have been shuttered since Sunday, when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ordered the coast to be evacuated. All have announcements on their website urging visitors to check back later in the week for further information. Appearing on the home page of Bally’s: As we continue to monitor the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, our four Atlantic City properties will remain closed. Our focus is to ensure the safety of our guests and our employees. We will provide updates on the reopening of our properties as they become available. Your understanding at this time is greatly appreciated. Bally’s is owned by Caesars Entertainment, which also operates the Harrah’s, Caesars, and Showboat casinos in Atlantic City. The Borgata announced that it was not taking reservations through yesterday, but has not updated its Hurricane Sandy message to reflect any new status. Tony Rodio, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey and CEO of the Tropicana, told the Press of Atlantic City that he estimates the resort town’s dozen casinos are losing $4.5 million to $5 million per day just from gaming revenues. That does not count lost revenues from the hotels, stores, and restaurants. According to the Press, this is only the fourth time Atlantic City casinos have been totally shut down since the first casino opened in the city in 1978, though it is the third in the past six years. Hurricane Irene caused a shut down last year while a New Jersey budget crisis did the same in 2006. The first shut down was the result of Hurricane Gloria in 1985. There is a chance that the casinos might be able to open Thursday, though nothing has been determined as of Wednesday night. With financial losses mounting, the casinos are anxious to hear from Gov. Christie about a lifting of the evacuation order. “The weekends have been more impactful for Atlantic City,” said Joe Lupo, executive vice president of operations at the Borgata. “While we’re hoping to open by then, we’re obviously going to support the governor’s role. The safety of our employees and customers is the most important thing.” While $5 million per day is a lot of money, if the casinos can open by the weekend, the financial damage could be minimized to some extent. Late October is part of the Atlantic City off-season and the closures have been during the week. Compare that to Hurricane Irene, which forced casinos to close for three days during the last weekend of August, timing which was estimated to cost the casinos $40 million to $45 million Rodio said that there does not appear to be major damage to any of the casinos, but damage to the city’s infrastructure which would affect customers’ abilities to get to and from the properties, is of concern.

Mountain Family
Today's picture features a Tennessee Mountain Family behind their cabin. If I am not mistaken, this looks to be the same family featured in Sunday's picture, just on the other side of the cabin. I love how it looks like Granny might be carrying a Kentucky Long Rifle! https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...s.blogspot.com http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/..._hfKe4Cl8/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/..._hfKe4Cl8/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogs...~4/znKMuXmtJBM More... |
