Save The Planet Tips: Ideas for Living Green launched this week. Like a jumping frog, hop over there right now and take a look at what we've been up to.
More importantly, what are you up to? Do you have a video you’d like to share? Or perhaps you know of a video that would be helpful for the community to see? Or maybe you would like to suggest a website that has an environmental story that needs to be told. If you’d like a link-back credit, that’s your option, just let us know when you make your url suggestion.
You can do all that, so please do. Do it for the polar bears, the rhinos, or the frogs. Do it for my granddaughter or there may be some other children out there you'd like to do it for as well. Do it for "the damned human race." (1) How about making it one of those things we do for all of life. Just email us from: SavethePlanetTips.com
Go hop over there now.

This summer I helped my son drive from New Bedford to San Diego. Stephanie and my grand-daughter Liliana were already living near the beach in a newly rented house. But, Brook had one last month to finish his contract as an E.R. doc at St. Luke's Hospital 'back east' before joining them. It was a happy re-union as you can see in the video on this site - dogs and all - as they catch-up on the news after we arrived earlier that morning.
For a long time I have considered the website which I have just launched. There may be some over-lap of content with illusionJunkie as I transition to this new site, but I think it will be well worth your time to check waterSana out. We all know that there are some very important issues these days relating to water, air and forests. For starters, we have depleted 80% of the forests in the world. I think you will see that I have a primary interest in media that tells the story.

GREAT RIVERS BIENNIAL 2006
January 20, 2006 - March 26, 2006

The Great Rivers Biennial is a collaboration between the Contemporary and the Gateway Foundation designed to strengthen the local art scene in St. Louis. As many as three artists are selected by a panel of esteemed national jurors to receive an award of $15,000 each and an exhibition at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.
The goal of this innovative awards program is to identify talented emerging local artists, provide them financial assistance, raise the visibility of their work in both the Midwest and national art community, and provide them with professional support from visiting critics, curators and dealers.
Emerging artists in the St. Louis area were invited to submit work from any of the following categories: drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, and multi-media. An emerging artist is someone in the early stages of his or her career development who has not yet received wide exhibition exposure locally or nationally or significant financial awards from other organizations.
During summer 2005, Great Rivers Biennial jurors reviwed all submissions and selected three emerging artists to receive the award. This year's high profile panel of jurors included Elizabeth Dunbar, Curator at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City; Gary Garellis, Senior Curator at UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and Helen Molesworth; Chief Curator of Exhibitions at Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus.
The recipients of the inaugural Great Rivers Biennial 2004 were Jill Downen, Adam Frelin, and Kim Humphries who were selected by jurors Lisa Corrin, Director, Williams College Museum of Art; Debra Singer, Executive Director and Chief Curator, The Kitchen; and Hamza Walker, Department Director, Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago.
