Artist Spotlight: Eve Strella of Pittsford
Evolution as an artist: My father, Robert M. Johnston, earned his living as a professional artist, and my brother, sister and I all have what I call the "art gene." I work at my art at every opportunity and usually take art supplies and always carry my digital camera with me when I travel, just in case something inspires me. Inspiration: Inspiration comes from nature, color, landscapes, topical settings and generally from things of beauty. I'm never sure what will inspire me until I see it. Then I can't paint, draw or photograph fast enough.
Featured work: The Road Home, colored pencil, inspired by a photograph I took of the lane leading to the farm where I grew up in western Pennsylvania. The beauty and color drew me in, and the level of detail sparked my interest and creativity.

The companies have turned to calling the PC a "home server," the hub of a network of wirelessly connected devices sending Internet video, high-definition movies, TV programs, music, photos and documents from one room to another.

The modern State is a social service State, wrote late Appadoira in his work, The Substance of Politics. If this assertion is stretched to our contemporary world, it means that, even if you choose to commit suicide, it is the responsibility of government to stop you from dying. So, you do not even have the liberty to take your own life! It is the legal duty of the state to nurture you in health from infancy to adulthood and to ensure that your life finds full expression in comfort and happiness till you finally pay the debt of nature.
