BARTLETT, N.H. &$8212; A rare sight materialized in New Hampshire over the weekend: "Mitt Romney for President" campaign signs stuck into snowbanks along the road to a remote White Mountain resort hotel.

"I don't know where they came from," Romney, an undeclared candidate, coyly told 250 activists at a Republican Party fundraising dinner Saturday night at a hotel ballroom in Bartlett.

The leadoff presidential primary state, where politics never go out of season, would normally be cluttered with campaign posters by now. Not this year.

Senior and Courier staff writer Julia Ortiz has made a profit from making objects out of duct tape. Ortiz can make things like flowers, bags and wallets. Her most popular item is her bags.

"I made a duct tape bag for myself and I would carry it to school," said Ortiz. "I guess people noticed and asked me where i got it from and when I told them I made it myself, they ask me to make one for them as well."

From wikipedia:
Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1912 Mondrian (March 7, 1872 – February 1, 1944), was a Dutch painter.

He was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors.

Between his 1905 painting, The River Amstel, and his 1907 Amaryllis, Mondrian changed the spelling of his signature from Mondriaan to Mondrian.
