Weekly Prize Giveaway

A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing one or more extra days (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year which is not a leap year is called a common year. In the old Julian Calendar, there was only one rule: Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year. This calendar was used before the Gregorian calendar was adopted. To learn more click HERE.

Defending the Caveman
Defending the Caveman is a worldwide, rock-solid tour-de-force.� This blockbuster has won the hearts of millions in more than 30 countries and has been translated into 15 languages.

Congrats go out to Norm Johnson

In Norm Johnson�s column this past week he states, "I dabble in sculptures now and then� and has been asked to be a "Featured Artist" in the 11th Annual ArtFest of Henderson on Saturday and Sunday, May 10-11. �The ArtFest is one of the most sought after venues in the west, and to be asked to participate with my sculptures is quite an honor�.

Well this �dabbling� artist is INCREDIBLE, and is well deserving of this honor. If you haven�t have the pleasure of seeing Norm�s wonderful sculptures you�ve really missed something. Below are a couple of my favorites, you can see all of Norm�s work at www.sculpturesbynorm.com

Norm adds �I will probably have about nine pieces on display (and for sale).� The 11th Annual ArtFest of Henderson will be held at the new Water Street District from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. More on this next week, and the week after that and so on... Del Sol High School, 3100 E. Patrick Lane.����

Kudos Norm!
