Glass hand pipes are generally very portable and almost always designed for dry herbs. Most hand pipes will feature a carb . The carb is a hole in the pipe that (when open) allows fresh air to move through the pipe removing the smoke from the chamber and giving the smoker a less stale (fresher) smoke. There are many different styles of glass hand pipes available on the market today. You can choose from Spoons,Chillums, Sherlocks, Blunts, Gandalfs and even portable Bubblers. The draw toward glass hand pipes is often a person's desire to have a clean smoke. With wood, clay and even metal pipes you can get an altered taste from the burning of the material on the pipe. In some cases this can cause the smoker to inhale unhealthy substances. This issue is not present with glass hand pipes; you taste only the tobacco or legal herb you are smoking and you don't have to worry about inhaling any other substances unknowingly. We carry a large variety of glass hand pipes. CLICK HERE to view our entire selection of Glass Pipes and Accessories.

Does your mail man ever get lost? Maybe he should switch from Mapquest to Google Maps. Or you could do it for him—sort of. Google Maps envelopes (only a concept at the moment) would let you send snail mail through an button right in gmail and print evelopes showing the route between the two addresses. The only flaw with the design is that the from address would have to be west of the to address, unless the envelope isn't strictly oriented with North facing up.

20 Geekiest Chopsticks
Filed Under (Gadgets n other stuff) at 3/22/2011 03:02:00 PM
Star Wars Chopsticks
Only God (and George Lucas) knows if people of Galactic Republic use chopsticks or not, but they definitely should because those lightsaber chopsticks, aka chopsabers, look extremely cool. They come in three different colors with green for Luke Skywalker, red for Darth Vader and Yoda for green. While the first two measure 23cm in length, the Yoda one is intentionally smaller at 20 cm.
Samurai Chopsticks
There is no better way to your fresh sushi with true Japanese spirit with these Samurai chopsticks. They also come in three different designs named after three actual 17th century Japanese samurai: Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura and Maeda Keiji.
Macbook Air Styled Chopsticks
Before you Apple fan boys go crazy over this news, we have to warn you that they might not be real chopsticks. Apparently somebody has put the lateral view of the new MacBook Air into a photo of Japanese styled food which resulted in a pair of ultra cool Macbook styled aluminum chopsticks with some mysterious holes. But it would be really awesome if somebody actually made a real pair of chopsticks like this, wouldn't it?
Neon Genesis Evangelion Chopsticks
Designed like the plug or small pods the pilots use to board their awesome robots, Neon Genesis Evangelion Chopsticks are really cute and highly collectible for Neon Genesis Evangelion's die hard fans. You can even remove the small door and reveal a miniaturized version of your favorite EVA pilot.
Magical Girl Chopsticks
With baby pink color and a fantasy theme, this pair of chopsticks will definitely make any girl go crazy. It is designed based on Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel – an anime aired in 1983.
Bullet Train Chopsticks
"the world's fastest chopsticks", these chopsticks are inspired by Japan's famous bullet trains, and have been officially endorsed by the Japan Rail Line. They come in different model series: the classic O series and N700 trains, and even the Kikura or the stylish blue and yellow 922 train.
With millions of trees are being cut down every year to make disposable chopsticks, Korean designer Hak-Byoung Kim has introduced a green chopstick concept called flostick. Made of discarded branches, flosticks can be used 4 times by peeling off layer after layer and each layer is composed of 3 leaves. This whole process is not about trash,but a natural restoration procedure.
Pencil Chopsticks
If you have watched Project A, it'd be hard for you to forget the scene when Jackie Chan can't find any chopsticks to eat, so he grabs a couple of handy pencils to chows down with and ends up eating both his noodles and the little erasers on the end of the pencils. Things would have been much easier for Jackie if he had with him this pair of pencil chopsticks, or chopstick pencils or whatever it is.
Eat with Your Glasses
This is where the old school glasses prove to be superior to the modern contact lenses. Brad Gressel has come up with Stix glasses concept where the arms are home to a pair of stainless steel tipped chopsticks.
Sauce Dispensing Chopsticks
These pipette style chopsticks let you fill them with liquid: soy sauce, fish sauce or whatever sauce you like. They're made out of ABS and polypropylene and they can stand heat ranges from -5 degrees to 90 degrees.
Tukaani Chopsticks
If you have ever felt embarrassed because you are unable to deal with chopsticks in a sushi bar, Tukaani chopsticks are for you. Kayiwa developed this design based on the bill of a Toucan bird. The sterling silver utensil allows for the user to steadily grip their food and place in their mouth without the fear of looking like a fool. The loop at the end of the design allows for easy storage and display.
Chimpsticks got its name from both its design and its purpose: it's for those who are as clumsy as chimps when it comes to chopsticks. The 21 cm long chopsticks are also perfect for kids as its look would provide a feeling that the Chimp's kid is actually holding the food from its little hand. Each set is priced at sweet $6.99 and you can reuse it.
Chopsticks Aid
If you are ashamed to admit your clumsiness with chopsticks, a little effort to make a cool and clever chopstick aid may save your face. A German website has an idea to clip a pair of chopsticks together for easier usage which you can easily adapt to make one on your own.
Made While the stickpecker, made of acrylic, is a solution for the waste of resources for the sake of disposable chopsticks, its magnet resembles the feeling of pulling apart wooden chopsticks. It looks really artistic also.
Forgetmee Fork Chopsticks
Awarded "good design 2006" from the chicago athenaeum, Forgetmee is a combination of a soup spoon and chopsticks that frees you to enjoy your noodles with one hand while you go on doing other things with the other. Forgetmee is made of plastic at 11" long.
Chopsticks plus Two
This chopstick comes with a toothpick elegantly disguised inside the other end to take care of your teeth after a delicious Oriental meal.
Chorks = Chopsticks + Forks
We have heard of Sporks (spoon + fork), Knorks (knife + fork), proposed Knorkoons (knife + fork + spoon) and finally we now have Chorks (chopsticks + fork). Even though the names sound cool, we need to put our hands on them to see if they are really useful or not.
Another combination of chopsticks and forks with no less revoluntionary name, Chopork is a living proof of nowadays cutlery's identity crisis.
Fan Chopsticks
This is no doubt one of the most useless innovations of the century. Your hand would be well numbed because of the fan's weight before the fan could be of any help to cool down your noodles.
FlipSticks™ Folding Chopsticks
Dubbed as Flipsticks, this pair of chopsticks can be folded for neat packing on a camping trip and easily stretched out to enjoy your favorite Asian dish.

Michigan edges Michigan State
Michigan and Michigan State play for one of the uglier trophies in sports, a 4-foot high Paul Bunyan.
The Wolverines, though, couldn't have been happier to finally welcome back the battered wooden lumberjack statue.
Brendan Gibbons made a 38-yard field goal with five seconds left, lifting Michigan to a 12-10 win over Michigan State on Saturday.
The Wolverines (5-2, 3-0 Big Ten) beat the Spartans for the first time since 2007 to avoid a school-record, five-game losing streak in the series.
And, to let Bunyan stay in Ann Arbor.
''Paul's back,'' safety Jordan Kovacs said. ''He's in the locker room.''
The Spartans (4-4, 1-3) had a chance to retain the hardware - retaking the lead on Dan Conroy's 19-yard field goal with 5:48 left after a fake punt kept the possession alive - but they couldn't run out the clock on their last drive or make a second straight stop on defense.
Denard Robinson threw a 20-yard pass to Drew Dileo to set up the game-winning kick and then couldn't watch when Gibbons lined up for the kick.
''I just took a knee and prayed,'' Robinson said.
It was the 900th win for Michigan, college football's winningest program.
''That wasn't the focus for the week,'' Hoke said. ''It was playing a great rivalry game, a game in our division that was important to win.''
The victory was one perhaps the sweetest - rivaling the one over Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl - for the Wolverines since they snapped a school-record, seven-game skid against Ohio State last season.
''This program was in desperate need for a win in this game,'' Kovacs acknowledged.
Michigan's players sprinted toward the student section to celebrate after the win, and the fans in turn, spilled out onto the field, covering so much of it that Michigan State's marching band walked off the field without playing a note of its planned postgame performance.
''It was a tough game, a classic game,'' Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said. ''I'm proud of our team. I can live with it. I don't like it, but it's all you can ask sometimes.''
Robinson, who had been shut down in his two previous starts against the Spartans, made just enough plays with his feet and right arm to help Michigan win in the senior's final game of the rivalry.
''I'm glad he's gone,'' Dantonio said with a smile.
Robinson was 14 of 29 for 163 yards with an interception, a harmless turnover on an up-for-grabs pass at the end of the first half, and ran for 96 yards on 20 carries.
Dileo was his top target, catching four passes for 92 yards to set up scores on a day in which the defenses for both teams were dominant, and the junior receiver was also the holder on all four field goals.
Michigan State's much-maligned quarterback, Andrew Maxwell, played relatively well, but threw an interception to Kovacs that helped the Wolverines take a 9-7 lead early in the fourth.
Maxwell was 21 of 34 for 192 yards with a 2-yard TD toss to Paul Lang that put the Spartans up 7-6 midway through the third quarter. Those were the first points Michigan gave up in six quarters and the first TD in eight quarters.
Le'Veon Bell, who was averaging 131 yards rushing a game, had just 68 yards rushing on 26 carries and gained no more than 8 yards on any attempts against a defense designed to stop him.
Dantonio, who called a fake field goal in overtime to beat Notre Dame two years ago, pulled another play out of his bag of tricks at the right time.
The Wolverines were completely fooled when punter Mike Sadler took a snap from the Michigan State 23 on a fourth-and-9 and ran to the right, all alone, on a 26-yard gain that set up a go-ahead field goal.
''Special teams plays are momentum-changers,'' Sadler said.
That play, though, was not enough to beat Michigan, which led 6-0 at halftime.
In the first half, Robinson was held to just 17 yards rushing on 12 carries, and his longest went for 5 yards. Robinson connected on 22- and 15-yard passes to Dileo to set up Gibbons' 24-yard field goal early in the second quarter and a 35-yarder to Dileo that led to Matt Wile's 48-yard kick late in the first half.
Maxwell threw a 45-yard pass to Bennie Fowler to get into position to kick a game-tying field goal midway through the second half, but Conroy missed his sixth field goal of the season - from 38 yards - to match his number of misses from all of last year.
The Spartans had a chance to add to their lead late in the third, but Maxwell overthrew an intended receiver and safety Kovacs took advantage with a key interception.
Michigan settled for a 9-7 lead early in the fourth quarter after missing chances to score a TD.
The Wolverines, though, didn't miss on their opportunity to win a game they - and their fans - really wanted against a team they've had their way with most of the time for more than 100 years.
''At the end of the day, we did enough to win,'' Kovacs said.

Freshly Picked (as seen on ABC's Shark Tank). They create the cutest, most comfortable moccasins for young children and babies (sizes 1-10) that not only look adorable but are durable, well - designed and most importantly: stay on your child's feet. Made with only the best quality material, each pair is crafted with 100% genuine leather.
Now I want to tell you a bit about Susan and how she came to make these darling moccasins for your little one.
Susan after becoming frustrated by the lack of well-designed baby shoes she decided to start making baby moccasins in 2009. She used her second child as a tester and began experimenting with designs. Though she had some failed attempts she persisted until she had created a pair that not only looked super adorable on her little one's chubby feet, but she made one that stayed on as well.
Since then her moccasins has gone through a few design changes and each change has perfected the look and the fit. Whether they're being shipped to the rich and famous kids or to your house, they're all made with care. You can read Susan's Story on the Freshly Picked Website.
I think the toughest decision I made was actually choosing which moccasin I wanted. I finally decided on the Neon Pink Limited Edition. If you notice on their website, they are all limited edition. What that means is when they're gone, they're gone!
When my moccasins showed up I couldn't wait to try them on. Unfortunately for me we have been having lots and lots of rain here in Colorado. The natives would say that's great, it prevents the fires that we have had every year for the past 2 years. It also prevents me from going outside and doing a lot of my reviews that requires me to be outdoors. This being one of them.
So looking at my shoes I immediately thought? Which of these go on what feet? There was no obvious left or right foot that I could see. Know what makes that great though? As a toddler, I don't really know my left from my right anyway so I could wear them on any feet.
Well that's how it is supposed to be and after a few wears a definite right or left side will start showing.
You may also notice that the soles of these shoes are very soft and flexible. There are no insoles so it seems like I'm walking on the ground. Walking barefoot has so much benefits, and they're just finding that out, that walking in these Freshly Picked Moccasins may just be what your little one needs. Going almost soleless means that your little one will be walking just the way he/she was intended to walk.
Now while you may think that won't be comfortable, I can assure you that it is. Not only it is comfortable on my feet but just look at the design. The fringe detail really makes my shoe pop. It is also well made and I can bank on it that it will last a very long time.
Freshly Picked has lots of other cute designs that you would just fall in love with. While I'm loving my neon pink, there are a few more that I have my eyes on. Just take a look at all their available styles, you won't be disappointed.
Freshly Picked Moccasins are available in sizes Infant 1 - Toddler 10. That means that your newborn baby will be able to wear these all the way up to toddlerhood like me. They retail for $60 and are so worth it. There are also matching tees to go with your brand new moccs. You'll love them as much as I do. Freshly Picked definitely gets my TWO TINY THUMBS UP!

(Pocket-lint) - Beats by Dr Dre has teamed up with music producer and DJ David Guetta for a new set of headphones aimed at disc spinners. The Beats mixr headset has been designed entirely with DJs in mind, with a compact form factor and ear cups that can swivel 180 degrees for both portability and listening to the live audio while mixing.
Coming in October to the UK, the new headphones feature many of the audio properties of their stable mates, but take into account loud, high noise environments, such as a club, a recording studio or "on the street" (presumably in New York, where you can't hear yourself think sometimes).
David Guetta himself had major input with the headset's creation: "The process of creating the Beats mixr headphones was completely collaborative between me and Beats by Dr. Dre," he said.
"Our vision was to create the perfect world class headphone for DJs and music lovers alike and the outcome is truly amazing! I use headphones every day in the studio and every night at gigs, so I know how important the difference in quality is and want to share that.
"The sound is better than anything I've experienced before because it doesn't distort no matter what volume I am playing music at. They're easy to travel with because they're so light and compact. I can't wait to start using them when I'm DJing, creating music or just when I'm listening to music on the move."
The Beats mixr will be available in the UK in white or black at HMV for around £250.
Expect footballers to start wearing them soon.

Women's Snowboards
Browse by Manufacturer
If there is a particular brand that you prefer, feel free to check out their products here.
Dear fellow female snowboarders, don't even THINK about buying a snowboard until you've read this.
If you've got a few minutes to spare it might be in your best interests to listen up; you see we can save you a lot of money as well as ensure you don't go buying the wrong board!
This website that you've landed on today is a breakthough - the only one of its kind. In fact, we are your one-stop resource to read a range of reviews on women's snowboards. You see, we are known for our unique ability to provide the LARGEST selection (see for yourself) of up-to-date information on pricing while at the same time providing a place where readers and riders alike can read and submit snowboard reviews.
One thing I must tell you though: Just because some snowboards have girly graphics does not necessarily mean it is actually built for woman. Aesthetics and looks are not the only important things to pay attention to. What's crucial is the board's material and more importantly DESIGN. There are many things you must take into account, such as a women's lower center of gravity, smaller foot size, and lighter weight (compared to men). Because of this, a well-built and effective snowboard for a woman is actually shorter than one for the guys and features a light core and a narrower waist - designed to give YOU greater control when you're hitting the slopes without hitting the deck!
So don't make a half-hearted guess when spending a lot of money on what you enjoy to do - and that's snowboarding for FUN! We promise that you'll have a smooth ride with us, whether you are just coming to check out the reviews or whether you want to buy your very own specialized board right here, right now - today!

Yorkshire-based rockers thisgirl are to split after seven years together.
The band - Liam, Chris, Matt and Ryan - are to play a farewell show at Cardiff's Point on December 14, supported by Douglas. The Welsh pop-punks - former tourmates of Hundred Reasons - are reforming especially for the Cardiff show.
Drummer Ryan sent DiS a little note via the medium of e-mail:
Well, there comes a time for everything to come to an end... and for new things to begin! Thanks to everyone for everything they ever did (or didn't) do to keep thisgirl rockin for seven long years.
Cardiff should be a blast... one big fuckin' drink-up to say thanx... we might even pull out some super old choons!
Mad love,
The band also sent out a MySpace bulletin outlining their split a couple of days ago:
So this is a deliberate attempt to avoid an over dramatised and desolate broadcast, however it is not without a heavy heart that I have to announce the end of thisgirl.
After seven years and 1,000s of shows played we have decided to hang up our spurs. All is good though, we've had an amazing time and as a result of playing awkward music we got to get drunk in different countries and meet some amazing people!
For now though you only need to know one thing… our last show!!
Anyone from back in the day will remember our long-time friends DOUGLAS. Well they were phenomenal and sadly ended before their time in 2004. Now they reforming for a one-off show in Cardiff on December 14th and they've kindly asked us to join them. It will be a very fitting conclusion to the last six years of thisgirl and we couldn't be happier to play our last show alongside our homeboys. There will be super old tunes to sing along to and the aftershow is sure to last for days.
If it is at all possible in your lives, make sure you come along for the party.

Using this case right now. Love it.
I felt spirituality around these Redwood trees. I found way to express that visual way.
My art got a young start. I can remember doing pencil drawings of distorted figures around age 10. About two years later, I got a kodak instamatic camera for x-mas. I went straight into the woods and started shooting. My Dad was impressed with my work and gave me my first SLR (Minolta SRT-101)camera. I was off to the races. I just love being creative. I feel that's why i am here is to make beautiful things for others to enjoy. I never taken class in photography. I have learned by doing or by reading Outdoor Photographer and by getting inspired by the work of other artists. Then in 2006, I got my first digital SLR. I was afraid to change because i knew it change my creative process. It has. My photography has blossomed. My...

Acoustic status notification (BEEP)
Additional acoustic status notifications can be activated for flash readiness, flash exposure control and alerts.
AF flash metering
An autofocus auxiliary light (AF measurement flash) integrated in the flash unit automatically supports the central autofocus sensor of the camera in low ambient light conditions. A multizone AF measurement flash, also supports decentralised AF sensors.
Automatic unit switch-off
During extended breaks from photographing, the flash unit is switched automatically to an energysaving standby state to prevent the power source from discharging (Auto-Off). The wake-up function (>>> Wake-Up function) reactivates the flash unit e.g. by lightly depressing the camera shutter.
Automatic flash mode
A photo sensor integrated in the flash unit measures the subject during photographing, and automatically terminates the light output as soon as the subject is correctly exposed.
Correct exposure display
The correct exposure display o.k., appears on the flash unit aft er photographing if the subject in automatic or TTL flash mode is correctly lit.
Dot matrix display with soft keys
Individual adaptation of the display on the camera system and the operating status for optimum and self-explanatory operation of the flash unit via soft keys.
Further development of the TTL flash control with metering pre-flash technology for Nikon cameras.
3D and D-TTL-3D
With the 3D-TTL (Nikon) and D-TTL 3D flash control, additional data such as the distance to the subject is taken into account during flash exposure.
Innovative advancement of TTL flash control with pre-flash metering technology for Canon EOS and PowerShot cameras.
With the E-TTL II flash control, additional data is taken into account during flash exposure, such as the distance to the subject and the guide number of the flash unit.
Extended zoom
With Motor Zoom mode, the main reflector illuminates the subject more than necessary by one reflector position. As a result, the additional dispersed light provides softer illumination of the subject.
Flash bracketing
Flash bracketing series with three photos of different flash exposure: minus correction value, no correction value, and plus correction value.
Flash readiness indication
The flash readiness indication illuminates when there is enough energy in the flash capacitor of the flash unit.
Guide number
The guide number is the code number for the light output of a flash unit. It is dependent upon the preset ISO light sensitivity and (with zoom reflectors) on the position of the reflector, as well as on the potential use of reflector attachments (e.g. accessory wide-angle or telephoto lens). With high speed synchronisation (HSS) the guide number also depends on the shutter speed.
HSS – high speed synchronization
In high speed synchronization (HSS), you can flash with exposure times that are shorter than the flash sync time of the camera. As a result, flash photos with wide aperture openings are possible for high ambient light levels, for example to limit the depth of field in portrait shots.
Innovative advancement of the TTL flash control with metering pre-flash technology for Nikon cameras.
With the i-TTL-BL flash control, additional data such as the distance to the subject is taken into account by the flash lighting.
Key function
Locking of operational controls. Protects against unintentional overwriting.
LCD display
Provides information on the flash modes and settings being used. (>>> Dot matrix display)
Learning mode
The flash unit is capable of recognising the camera's pre-flash technology and in turn of circumventing pre-flash technology. The flash is therefore only activated as the main flash when taking photographs (subject to camera).
Manual flash mode
Flash mode with unregulated light output. The flash unit delivers the full light output, if no partial light output is set.
Manual zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector and thus the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted manually to the focal length of the lens.
Metal stand
High-quality metal base for secure attachment on camera shoe.
Modelling light
The modelling light is a stroboscope light with a high flash frequency lasting a few seconds. This "quasi permanent light", allows you to evaluate the light distribution and shadow formation on the subject before taking the photograph.
Motor zoom
The zoom position of the main reflector and thus the illumination of the flash unit is automatically adjusted to the focal length of the lens.
OLED display
Provides information on the operating modes and settings currently in use. The OLED display features a high contrast and is energy efficient.
Partial light mode
Manual flash mode with unregulated light output. By setting partial light mode on the flash unit, the light output or illumination duration of the flash unit can be adapted specifically to the photographic situation.
Innovative advancement of the TTL flash control with metering pre-flash technology for Pentax cameras.
Rapid mode for short recycling times at reduced maximum light output.
Synchronisation to the 2nd shutter curtain for more natural blurring effects for longer exposure times.
Remote operation
A remote system consists of a master or controller flash unit on the camera and one or more slave flash units. The slave flash unit is wirelessly remotely controlled by the master or controller flash unit. Unlike a controller flash unit, with a master flash unit, the flash contributes to the exposure.
SCA 3002 adapter system
For system cameras with digital or analog data transmission between the camera and flash unit. By using an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system, there are numerous additional system flash functions available with flash units
from the SCA 3002 system, depending on the type of camera. The firmware of an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system is updateable via Metz service for future cameras.
Secondary reflector
To brighten shadows cast in the close-up ranges which appear when using an indirect flash.
Servo mode
The servo mode allows you to operate the Metz flash unit of the corresponding camera system wirelessly with the built-in flash unit on the digital camera. Allows light output to be calibrated as partial lighting.
Slave mode
An integrated sensor makes this wireless slave flash mode possible in combination with a master or controller flash unit. (>>> Remote operation)
Sony / ADI
Innovative further development of the TTL flash control for Sony Alpha cameras in which, for example, information regarding the distance to the subject is included in the flash exposure.
Spot zoom mode
While zooming the reflector increases by one illumination level on the object over the selected position. This centrally highlights the shot. Example: the zoom reflector adjusts to 70mm for a set focal length of 50mm. The information in the display of the flash unit remains however at 50mm, the original focal length of the lens.
Strobo mode
Manual flash mode for flash sequences with a selectable intensity, frequency, and number of flashes, e.g. for special effect photos and motion studies.
Swivel reflector
Can be tilted horizontally and vertically for indirect flash. Can be tilted vertically for indirect flash.
Touch display
Illuminated graphic display that can be operated by touching the display panel.
TTL fill-in flash control
Reduces too high subject contrast (e.g. to brighten dark shadowy areas in bright sunshine).
TTL mode
While taking the photograph, the flash is measured through the lens (TTL = through the lens) by a sensor in the camera. The light output of the flash unit is terminated as soon as the subject is correctly exposed.
Interface for firmware updates via the Internet.
The flash unit can be reactivated by actuating the shutter release if the flash is in energy-saving standby mode after an extended break from taking photographs. (>>> Automatic unit switch-off)
Wide-angle attachment
Increases the light angle of the flash unit. Depending on the type of flash unit, the wide-angle attachment is either integrated or attachable as an accessory.

Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new photographs by the British artist Idris Khan. Khan is most recognized for his multi-layered photographs that draw from sources as wide-ranging as musical scores, literary texts, and the history of art and photography. While his photographs pay homage to the originals, something entirely new emerges in the process. Approximately thirteen new photographs will be on view.
Khan has consistently mined the history of art and literature for inspiration and source material. In this new body of work, a simple documentary photograph—Cy Twombly's own snapshot of an unfinished blackboard painting in his studio in the 1960s—is his point of departure. Inspired by this photograph, Khan built a large chalkboard in his studio and documented the process of creating his own images triggered by Twombly's famous scrawls and scribbles. The resulting accretion of moments depicts both the nearly-readable marks, as well as their immediate erasure, superimposed upon each other in numerous layers.
I wanted to capture every part of the process so that when my final composition was done it included every trace and erasure made while creating an unreadable language. I wanted the writing to become free and to live beyond the starting point.
In previous works, Khan has referenced the Bechers, Turner, Beethoven, and Rembrandt, among others; here he draws additional inspiration from John Cage, Agnes Martin, childhood poems, and ritual texts from the Islamic hajj. In recent years, sculpture and drawing have played a more pronounced role in his artistic practice as he blends homage and appropriation with his own mark-making.
Born in Birmingham in 1978, Khan lives and works in London. Solo exhibitions of his work have been mounted at the Gothenburg Konsthall, Sweden (2011), the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (2009), and K20, Düsseldorf (2008). His work has been exhibited at Forum d'art Contemporain, Luxembourg (2008), the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (2006), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2006), and the Helsinki Kunsthalle (2005). His work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou, Paris, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City, among others. This is his second solo exhibition with Fraenkel Gallery.

Ah, yes, the ex. Most of us have at least one or more, and one of mine walked down the aisle last weekend. As I watched the pictures of his lovely day pop up on my Facebook page, I couldn't help but think, what the hell did I ever see in that guy? By the looks of the pictures, he's gotten fatter and more obnoxious. All of this got me thinking about our relationship, and what a disaster it was!
As some of you may know, I'm writing a book about my past relationships and some specific situations I've been in where the outcomes were NOTHING like what I thought they were going to be. And, I would love nothing more than to share the story of myself and…(we'll call him) John with you. Enjoy, and please comment with your own experiences!
Uck, John. Do I have to talk about him? Fine; here goes nothing…
I met John in history class my freshman year of high school, and coincidently, we had three other classes together that year. I thought he was cool because he had on some dumb shirt about AC/DC and farts…I don't remember how they were related, so I'm not even going to try and explain…Anyway, the two of us became close because I loved his charm and sense of humor and he loved my hair and how polite I was. But, not even a month had passed in the start of my new adventure called "high school" and I found out that not only did John not see me as a sex object, but he preferred my dork ass neighbor, Becky. Becky is probably one of the nicest girls you will ever meet, but she's really into stupid shit like reality TV, snorting while she laughs, and wearing crocs and a tube top…not real cute.
Needless to say, their relationship didn't last long, and after they broke up, I was looking forward to pouncing on that man meat! And, while John was taking his sweet time healing his broken heart, I was making sure that I was constantly on his mind, or at least in his line of vision. Like I said, we had half of our classes together that year, and our lockers were fairly close, so we were almost always in the same vicinity. Many months were spent comprised of constant flirtation and "buddy buddy" jokes. This period in my life was probably nauseating for some, and I get that, but what else was I supposed to do? I wanted him, so I had to play along!
On one particular day, I went to school and I was SURE that he was going to ask me out. We had been flirting for a long time and friends for what felt like eternity! As I was gathering my books for the beginning of the day, I noticed him standing in the hallway near my locker. As I looked up to make eye contact, I witnessed him cross the isle and lock lips with another girl from our class! THE FUCK! Really? Again? I'd been that bastard's best friend! I responded to his cues correctly every time without missing a beat! Who is this bitch and how do I get him to realize that she is NOT the one for him? She's not even PRETTY!….So much anger and confusion was all I felt for the next few days. I later learned that her name was Bethany and they had been in a class together all year. But, he'd never mentioned this "Bethany" girl to me before! I felt played, used, and once again, like I wasted my precious time and energy. I was done!…or so I thought.
Bethany and John dated for about 9 months, which in high school time is about 3 years. And, needless to say, their relationship came crashing down all because of me. One weekend right before school started, my family and I went to the high school to catch one of the first football games of the season. That summer, even though John was still with Bethany, I had tried to get his attention multiple times by visiting the park near his house and waiting for him to come outside…creepy, I know, but these we pre-Facebook days!! As my family stumbled into the stadium I kept thinking that the summer had been a complete loss because I never got his attention, and now we would probably have to start back at square one when we entered the upcoming school year. But, to my surprise, as I looked up into the stands I saw John and his best friend Chris enjoying the start of the game. I tried to pretend like I didn't notice him, but he caught on and came to visit me and my family.
As we started talking, John became extremely overbearing when discussing his plans for the upcoming school year. He talked about how he was going to play a lot of sports, take multiple AP classes, oh yeah, and he was going to take me to homecoming. I was in complete shock! "You're still with Bethany," I said. "Yeah, I've been thinking about dumping her," he said with no shame. "I'll have to think about it," I replied…and just like that, there was my cue. The game was over and my parents summoned me to the car. "THINK ABOUT IT!" he called after me, and I began running towards the exit.
About a week later, a new school year started and on one of the first days, John and Bethany broke up. When I asked him how everything went down, he told me bluntly, "I just told her that I was into you so I couldn't date her anymore." "YOU SAID WHAT?!" I shot back. And then, literally, every day for the remaining semester, Bethany would give me the stink eye every time I passed her in the hallway. To think that I had been the cause of someone's breakup NEVER would have crossed my mind in a million years. Sure, I'd seen shit like this on TV, but I never thought that it would happen in MY life!
The next obstacle to tackle was homecoming. John would not let up! He asked me to go with him every day. "I don't know," I said. "Bethany is like REALLLLLYYYYYY pissed at me." I feel like, if I go with you, she might attack me during the dance." "Don't worry about her," he calmly mentioned, "I'll deal with it." Whatever the hell that was supposed to mean.
Eventually, since it had been my dream in the first place, and because I heard through the grape vine that he was going to take my best friend, Stacey if I said "NO" one more time, (in his words, "you have to keep your options open") I went with John to the dance. The night started out great, and I made sure the steer clear from Bethany. Then, while hanging out in the back of the dance floor, John planted a kiss right on my lips. It was my first kiss, but I had no idea it was coming. I felt like I had lost that one moment that every girl dreams about because it was so quick and I had no idea what was happening. I finished the night a little pissed, but happy that we'd made an awesome memory in our relationship. I didn't realize it then, but I was about to become even more pissed as time went on…
Every day since we started dating, John and I would eat lunch together with a bunch of our band friends. One day, a friend of a friend named Matt asked to eat lunch with us. Matt sat across from me, and we quickly hit it off. I met Matt a year earlier, but we never had gotten the chance to REALLY know each other. Every day at lunch, I would look forward to our conversations. Matt was hilarious and had a wonderfully positive perspective on life. Unfortunately, all of my conversing with Matt made John extremely jealous. "You're supposed to be talking to me at lunch," he said, "I'M your boyfriend." "Jesus, sorry that I'm polite," I yelled back, "I'm just trying to make peace with a stranger." From that day forward, I tried to talk to John more and ignore Matt, but it was just so hard, Matt wasn't "in" on "the plan" and you could tell that he didn't understand why I chose to ignore him. So, eventually, I gave up and thought Tough shit, John will just have to deal with the fact that I have male friends.
Throughout the month that John and I were "together" we went through a lot of ups and downs (more ups and downs than I've had with friends that I've known for 15 plus years). The day before our high school band's big trip, I decided that I was going to break up with John. I had never broken up with anyone before, but I knew it had to end. He was such a cocky asshole. The morning of my planned break up, I couldn't find him at his locker, so I walked into the band room. "Ah, there you are," he said, "I need to talk to you." "Good, because I need to talk to you too," I shot right back. We moseyed out into the hallway where he stated, "ladies first," and gave me the floor. And, there it was, my shot to claim the end of our relationship, and I blew it. "No, you first," I said. "Ok," he exclaimed with a confused look. "I think we were better off as friends, and I think we need to break up," he said. "I completely agree!!" I said…with almost too much enthusiasm. "Well…" he said. "Well, ok, see yeah," I said, and walked back to my locker. The funny part was, I wasn't even sad. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I could finally go back to living my life. John had sawed the bars off of my jail cell and told me to "run like the wind." I remember running into John's friend Chris in the hallway after it all happened. "How you doin'," he said. "Fine, why?" I shot back. "Well, I know that John broke up with you," he stated. "What? How did you know that? It LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED!" "John told me on the way to school this morning that he was going to do it," Chris said.
That son of a bitch.
As always, another failed relationship in my book means another life lesson, and with John, I learned multiple. First off, if someone is pressuring you to date them, there's your first red flag. Obviously this person doesn't fully care about your wants and needs (or you in general) if they're applying any form of emotional pressure. And, for the love of all that is holy, don't date the jealous type. John made me feel awful for being friends with other guys and not devoting all of my attention to him when we were out and about…and seriously, that's just bullshit, and it probably means that the person who is the "jealous type" is self conscious. And I'd have to say the biggest lesson of them all, be friends with the person before dating them. Yes, John and I were friends for a year before deciding to date, but we weren't really friends. I mean, I hung out with him during the school day sometimes, and we had a lot of the same classes, but I never hung out with him outside of school or even during the summer. I never found out who he truly was…and that probably would've saved me a lot of time.
Update: Shortly after John and I broke up, I found out that not only was he a huge cocky asshole, but he was also a psychopathic liar. He ended up telling one of my guy friends that while he was dating Bethany, "I used to call him all the time and we would talk on the phone for hours." He told my friend that it was like he was dating two women at once. Unfortunately, no matter how big John's dreams get, that one was, nor will ever be, true.
John went on to date one of my worst enemies shortly after we broke up, and I'm happy to report that they're newlyweds. John also went on to school to become a firefighter, and he currently lives with his (beautiful) bride far, far away from me.
As always, I wish them the best….sort of.

Well, after an unusually rainy period here in Colorado, we have finally joined the ranks of those in this state and many other places as well, who have been hit by freak hailstorms this summer.
We have enjoyed the rain, it has been really good for the vegetable and flower gardens, and it has made everything so nice and green. A few of the rainstorms have been hard ones, forcing the plants to bend over in submission.
However, last night's hailstorm not only bent the plants, but beat some of them to shreds! I guess some things might recover from the barrage of wind and ice pellets, but there are some poor plants that will not. It's a little sad- all that time and work, now just pummeled into the ground. You can see in the photos here; the amount of ice that was coming down last night, the melon plant ripped apart, and the amount of ice still in the garden this morning.
That will teach me! I hadn't even taken any photos of my little backyard garden yet; every time I went out there to work proved a longer job than I first counted on and by the time I finished and got cleaned up, I didn't go back out. Now I have no proof or satisfaction of seeing what my labours first brought me.
Now we wait for things to warm up and dry out. Then I can see what- if any- damage control I can do on my end. We can't control the weather and so lamenting about it won't help. I am very thankful that the only damage we incurred was to the veggies- with the hail and 60 mph winds, some people around the area lost power, had trees come down, or had damage to their homes.

| 6.6°C Belfast
Firefighters will strike for a third day in a row over a long-running dispute with the Government over pensions.
Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) in England and Wales ended their latest 12-hour walkout at 2am, but will begin a further stoppage between 10am and 3pm today.
It follows a five-hour strike on Friday.
Fire authorities made alternative arrangements for fire cover, including hiring contractors or using part-time and retained firefighters.
No major incidents were reported during the industrial action.
The union said the strikes were solidly supported, showing the determination of firefighters to continue with their campaign.
The FBU maintains that firefighters are having to pay higher pension contributions, face working into their late 50s before retiring, and could be sacked because their fitness declines as they get older.
A spokesman for the Department of Communities and Local Government said: "The deal on the table gives firefighters one of the most generous pension schemes in all the public sector, and the proposals protect the earned rights of a higher proportion of members than any other public sector scheme.
"Nearly three-quarters will see no change in their pension age in 2015."
The Government denied union claims that ministers had drawn up alternative proposals six weeks ago, but had been "sitting" on them ever since.

Russian LGBT Groups Ask Apple to Break With Anti-Gay Businessman
More than 15 LGBT organizations have teamed up to urge Apple officials to cut ties with Euroset, the largest phone retailer in Russia, after the company's creative director came under fire last month for saying gays should be shoved alive into a furnace, according to a new report by Mother Jones.
Ivan Okhlobystin's comments were made at a "spiritual talks" event in Novosibirsk, Russia, on Dec. 8 and instantly made headlines around the world.
"I myself would shove all live gays into a furnace," Okhlobystin, 47, who was also a popular actor in Russia for staring in the country's version of "Scrubs," said. "This is Sodom and Gomorrah, I as a believer in God can not treat this indifferently, this is a live threat to my kids!... I do not want my kids to think that faggots are normal. This is lavender fascism. If a person can not choose someone of an opposite sex for procreation -- this is an overt sign of mental abnormality, so they should be denied of voting rights."
The activists wrote an open letter to Apple CEO Tom Cook on Jan. 5, pointing out why hate speech, especially in Russia, is dangers to the country's LGBT community.
"[Okhlobystin's] statements have been enthusiastically published by the Kremlin's propaganda press and distributed across entire Russia just adding additional fuel to the rampant homophobic campaign that already resulted in at least 26 murders and countless hate crimes against Russian LGBT population [sic]."
The activists also ask Cook to "set Apple as an example of a corporate citizen who supports basic human rights."
Mother Jones reports the collation is turning to Apple since they did not get much of a response from Okhlobystin's employer. On Dec. 26, six LGBT rights groups wrote to Euroset President Alexander Malis, asking him to "clarify how [Okhlobystin's] views are aligned with the values and principals of Euroset company, and to make a statement on inadmissibility of bullying and violence based on prejudice."
Malis did respond, however, and told Russian newspaper Izvestia, "Ivan expressed his personal opinion, and we will not fire him for that. Of course, we are against burning anyone in furnaces," according to Queer Russia.
The LGBT groups also plan to talk with other Western cell phone companies that work with Euroset, like Google and Samsung.
A few days after his original remarks, Okhlobystin replied to a Twitter follower, who asked how his statements were supposed to be understood.
"[There's is] too much pathos. It all sounded much simplier (sic). But the meaning is transmitted correctly. Everyone has a right to have a personal opinion," he wrote. He later added: "For a man there are only two options available to have an attitude toward sodomites: either acceptance or rejection. Given the aggression with which sodomites dictate their will to the world, there can not be some middle way. If you continue to flirt with sodomites, citing the rules of international, civil or criminal law -- it means to be cunning and violating the law of God."
"Putting it simple -- to serve the Devil. Even non-participation in the solution of this problem is a betrayal of God, whatever numerous and often conflicting "rights" claim, the actor continued. "Plus the existence of official organizations which sodomites have in all their forms, from homosexuals to pedophiles -- it is a direct insult to the feelings of believers in God, and therefore it should be prosecuted."
Apple officials have yet to respond to the letter or its relationship with Euroset. Apple, however, has long championed for LGBT rights and pushed for marriage equality in Washington state.
