Pat Arnow's links

*Links*
Some fine people and their work. Of course, some of them are friends and family. And there's a blog or two....
		Ann Ropp, painter "Body of Water" series watercolor on paper. She is just so good. And a true friend in East Tennessee.
		Michael and Maureen Banner, the best silversmiths, and I'm not just saying that because they're also my sister and brother-in-law. Opals and sterling silver pin.
Jennifer Miller is a wonderful landscape and portrait painter in North Carolina. Also a wonderful friend.
Arnow & Assoc. (Mike and Laura Arnow) The best financial planners, and I'm not just saying that because they're my brother and sister-in-law.
Womentk for a count of male/female bylines in Harper's, Atlantic, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and Vanity Fair. Guess which one has the worst ratio time after time? Harper's! (61:11) Guess which one has the best (still bad but better than anyone else?) Vanity Fair (64:25) (Ratios through February 2006).
		Snowdome Mania My friend Miriam Bein has one of the biggest snow-dome collections in the world. She likes plastic.
Sreenath Sreenivasan, tech guru and media junkie Good computer advice, and check out the tips page for reliable sites for researching almost anything.				Photo from WABC-TV
American Civil Liberties Union Be a patriot, fight terrorism, and make trouble for Gonzalez and cronies by supporting civil liberties. New York City Bill of Rights Defense Campaign I volunteered on this local effort to fight provisions of the Patriot Act and Justice Department directives that impinge upon our civil liberties. Too much freedom is not the problem.
Rotten Tomatoes Movies scored by adding up good and bad reviews, links to reviews, and a great name.

Books for Readers Looking for good reading? West Virginia/New Jersey Writer Meredith Sue Willis—and her friends—find and discuss books—mostly novels—new and old.
	Roppo's Bed & Breakfast Ann Ropp's brother runs a rogue b&b in Carthage, Ill. Check it out but don't check in.
Grand Street News, a monthly magazine about the Lower East Side. I write and take pictures for them sometimes. At right is a cover I did for them.
Gotham Gazette is the excellent online New York City policy journal. I used to cover the waterfront for them.

Le and Julian Williams, my aunt and uncle, were unsung artists in San Francisco. Their kids have mounted their work in a website, and they had a show for them at Fort Mason in San Francisco in August 2006. I've posted my picture s of that show--and family and friends who attended.
