November 19, 2010: Art Collectors: Know Your Legal Rights
"Like walking on water, collecting art and antiques requires a lot of faith.
One has to trust one's tastes, the dealer and the market. Still, collectibles
are not a religion but commodities whose buying and selling is increasingly being
regulated through a growing body of legislation and case law. Consumers need to
be aware of their rights and ability to negotiate better deals for themselves."...

Here's a program for those of you who want to make some pretty interesting
videos or still images for placement on your web page, or just for send via email.
Webcammax.com
is a pretty interesting webcam program, which works with a large variety of products.
I'm using it with a Logitech HD Webcam C270 camera/software, and it performs very well
with that system.
Webcammax offers the user the ability to add effects to your videos - effects that in the past
I have only been able to add to my videos with expensive programs. Since I have been adding graphics,
including text, and image inserts to works I have done since the middle of the '80s, it's a pleasure to come across a
program whic has greatly simplified that operation. For business or pleasure use,
Webcammax is a viable product.
Of course, it's not perfect. Problems arose when adding some of the special effects - notably
short-term page freezing. This computer is Windows XP-SP3, with 4GB memory, and is well loaded with files,etc.,
so that may be the cause of the "problem".
But overall, it's an enjoyable program to use, inexpensive, and appears to be worth the cost.

June 17, 2008: Who was the first cowboy in the New World? The answer may surprise you. If we look at historical evidence instead
of Hollywood mythology, we learn that a century before the Pilgrims landed, Sebastian
de Mendoza, a Spanish Jew, was the first man to appear in Conquista records as a vaquero or cattle driver.
We know that de Mendoza was a passenger on the Diego Garcia that left Seville in 1513.
And by 1545, according to a royal census, a quarter of the Spaniards in Mexico City were
Jews. Many of the secret Jews who fled to Mexico became vaqueros who crossed the Rio Grande--
not the Jordan—as they drove cattle north to feed the early Spanish missions that grew up
along the river...more. Also

Fresh vandalism, theft reported at petroglyph site
April 28, 2010 4:19 PM
By JESSICA CEJNAR, staff writer
Art older than the Mona Lisa graces the Mojave Desert’s vermillion rocks, yet the only security system that protects it is secrecy and a harsh landscape.
Ancient people once carved animals, humanoid figures and intricate pattens into canyon walls for reasons only they know at thousands of sites throughout the desert. But with people accessing these remote areas with off-road vehicles, vandalism and theft has increased.
Inscription Canyon, north of Hinkley, is one area people know about. Archaeologist Jim Shearer, who works with the Bureau of Land Management, estimates that between 2,000 and 5,000 people a year visit the site to view its petroglyphs. It bears signs of vandalism and theft as fresh as this year, he said.
In March, the BLM received reports of people loading up rocks with petroglyphs into a pickup truck, Shearer said. People have also been using Inscription Canyon for target practice. Bullet holes dot some of the remaining petroglyphs.
Shearer is currently involved in another archaeological project, but because he’s worried about the potential for theft and vandalism, he won’t publicize the location. Even printing the tribe’s name would reveal the location, he said.
“The area is already seeing looting done,” he said.
Vandalism and theft of an archaeological site is a felony that can carry a 10-year prison sentence, Shearer said. Theft of archaeological sites includes stealing arrowheads, stone tools and coins. Anything that’s more than 50 years old is considered an artifact, Shearer said.
Bob Hilburn, Mojave River Valley Museum president and a volunteer with the Society for California Archaeologists’ Site Stewardship Program, said he visited Inscription Canyon in February with a group of archaeologists.
Someone had removed the barrier — large logs designed to keep cars out of the canyon — but Hilburn couldn’t tell the new vandalism from the old because of the extent, he said.
As a site steward, Hilburn records changes to archaeological areas.
He also signed a confidentiality agreement with the BLM. If more people became site stewards it would cut down on the amount of vandalism and theft, he said.
Hilburn also encouraged witnesses to vandalism and theft to get license plate numbers of the people involved if they can and to report it to the BLM or law enforcement. People involved in the vandalism and theft shouldn’t be approached, he said.
“Don’t approach them because they will hurt you,” he said.
