Brian Taylor on what the pre-Budget report holds (BBC News) Brian Taylor blogs Every School Every Thursday -- Urbandale, Johnston (The Des Moines Register) Jensen Computer Arts issue 156 (Computer Arts) The latest issue - out now with a free 2009 calendar! I hope by now you will have noticed the free 2009 calendar with this issue. The bright stuff: Designer Jane Foster's multi-coloured wonderland (Independent) Children love coming to my house in Brighton. It's a really stimulating, happy environment. I was born in the 1970s so I grew up with bold, bright prints and I think that's why they have so much appeal for me now. I often find myself in shops buying things second-hand that my parents used to have. November 14: Feedback from newspaper readers (Daily Press) Your Pix for sale? Eileen: I thought Your pix on Wednesday was an oil painting until I saw it was taken by a reader. It is beautiful. Can you buy these pictures, maybe as a poster? You should put these into a book because you do have a wonderful selection from Your pix. There are some fabulous photographers out there. I truly enjoy this feature. Month's offerings promise to be memorable (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) The true highlight among this round of local sales is a Tiffany Studios hanging dome that is expected to turn on some high wattage bidding at Constantine & Mayer. Obama, The Brand (Forbes) Entrepreneurs turn a quick profit on the incoming U.S. president, but the office is likely to obscure the icon. Poster exhibit a revealing portrait of 'Great War' efforts (Chicago Sun-Times) Selling a war is no easy business, as America's leaders from the last 45 years can attest, but the posters that sold "the Great War" can tell us a good deal about what makes Americans get behind a military campaign. Original art is lasting pleasure (Muskogee Phoenix) In an age of "disposable," the trend for wall décor has been taken over by "posters." We tend to think that we will only find original art in a museum. We think of classic artists and how expensive their works can be.
