The Celeb of the Day over at our Celebrity at Work website is Amy Crehore a painter of truly equisite works of art.
Amy Crehore grew up in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and received a B.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University. She now lives on the west coast in Eugene, Oregon where she paints some of the most exquisite paintings you’ll find anywhere. Her website and her blog, Little Hokum Rag, both have many examples of her work.
The Charmer.
I asked her :
Editor Life is short. How are you filling this small space with your work?

You can also read about Amy Crehore over on our Art NYC site where she is interviewed by Marshall Sponder.

Just watched ITN News screen a dynamic 3-D map of Lebanon and Israel on their main bulletin badged “Google Earth”. Brilliant stuff, and what an improvement on their usual drawn diagrams.
I have to confess, I was never keen on this particular mash-up, although I’ve got it on my main computer.
Clearly, I’ll have to explore it some more.

Picture, Joan Street.
If you’re a fan of John Nettles in the hit TV series Midsomer Murders, or in his previous incarnation as Detective Bergerac, you’ll enjoy Steve Newman’s reminiscences of working with him on stage at Stratford.
Just pop over to Our Man in Stratford.

The Royal Yacht Britannia.

If you would like to support this campaign, or just read about it, get along over there now.

Another blog for our Creme de la Femme Supplement.
Syntagma Media is pleased to launch the latest extravaganza from the Boston Bloggers, Andrea Paulsen and Clive Allen: Great Romances.
If you’re interested in all things Valentine’s Day seen through the eyes of the great and the good, the high and the mighty, by Jove you’ll love this one. From C.S. Lewis to Tristan and Isolde, and shortly to Charles and Camilla, what more could a reader of Homer or Mills and Boon wish for.

More Midsummer madness (100 degrees at Syntagma Towers. We’re running amok in the heat).
Interesting article by political commentator Matthew Parris in today’s The Times (London). He points out that figures announced by the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, on energy loss due to standby buttons on electrical appliances are totally wrong.
Brown apparently stated that 10pc of energy use is wasted by standby button activity. However, when addressing the UN, he said 1pc. Now that’s a huge difference.
The Secretary of State for Trade and Industry then reduced the number to 7pc, before correcting it to 8pc.
It seems nobody has the faintest idea. Why are we talking about it at all? Typical of our Laurel and Hardy government here in the UK.
Read Matthew Parris’s joyous article on the feet of clay of our politicians.
