At the heart of every Trek road bike lives the intuitive responsiveness of Trek's peloton-proven performance design.
What people are saying
I got the 2011 Trek Lexa for my birthday this year, and it is absolutely fantastic. Great job Trek! You turned a former team sport only athlete into a cyclist! You couldn't separate me and "Leroy" for anything.

The Risk Communicator Newsletter
Providing information and resources to help emergency risk communicators prepare and effectively respond in the event of a crisis.
Judit Bar-ilan and Ana Echerman's "The Anthrax Scare and the Web: A Content Analysis of Webpages Linking to Resources on Anthrax"
Research Summary
The Internet makes finding information fast and easy, particularly in the workplace. Yet few people fully understand how subject-related content is presented on the web. By understanding how the public uses search results on a specific topic, risk communicators can improve the way they craft and share both online and other messages.
Judit Bar-Ilan and Ana Echerman of Bar-Ilan University and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem conducted a study focused on developing "a method for characterizing the page and linking patterns related to dramatic events on the Web." For the purposes of this study, the authors focused on the anthrax attacks which occurred in the United States shortly after 9/11.
The study found that during the timeframe of the attacks people increasingly turned to the Internet for anthrax-related information. Anthrax was Google's fifth overall search in 2001, reaching first place during October 2001. There was a corresponding increase in traffic to the anthrax pages on the Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These CDC pages received 515,000 unique visits during the week of October 14, 2001, a 118% increase from the week before.
With this increase in anthrax-related Web traffic, the authors sought to identify trends among pages that link to authoritative Web sites on anthrax (i.e. CDC, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Journal of the American Medical Association, etc.). They classified pages by the following categories: page type, page topic, topic of the source section where the link is located, content producer. Links were also included, and sorted into the categories of link type and link placement. Other information about each page was also captured, such as language, most recent update, and domain name.
The results of this study indicate that the anthrax attacks increased the number of anthrax-related searches and news coverage, but it did not have a statistically significant impact on the amount of factual information available on the Web. The study found that "content producers often preferred to compose lists of links to resources on anthrax rather than produce their own original content." Content producers also tended to link to U.S. government resources more than they linked to other pages.
The most common page type was news items, which are briefings posted on websites other than where the original news story appeared. It should be noted that this finding indicates that consumers may be relying on second and third-hand sources for information, rather than upon an original or authoritative source.
While the results of this study will be interesting to a variety of readers, the methods employed by the authors may be of the most use to risk communicators because they outline a process for determining how consumers are encountering a particular topic on the Internet. This process includes such questions as: What types of pages are providing links to the topic? What types of links are being provided? The answers to these questions could prove useful to a risk communicator in determining how and where to post information online.

Senator Says Agreement Offers Some Protections for Federal Workers
On Friday, August 5, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) will meet with union leaders and federal employees about the recently enacted budget compromise that raised the debt ceiling and saved the nation from default. The Senator will discuss details of the budget agreement and talk about how it affects federal workers.
In January, it was announced that there would be a two-year pay freeze for the federal workforce. Senator Cardin, a member of the Budget and Finance committees, has opposed additional cuts in compensation for federal workers. The budget agreement, which includes $1 trillion in cuts and additional cuts that would be triggered if Congress does not enact a budget plan developed by the Joint Committee, protects federal workers from increased contributions to their pensions.
· WHAT: Senator Cardin to meet with union leaders, including members of AFGE, AFL-CIO and NARFE
· WHEN: Friday, August 5 at noon (**)
· WHERE: Census Bureau Complex,
4700 Silver Hill Road, Library,
Suitland, MD

In trying to place blame for these failures, teachers and administrations are the first to be accused. It follows then that if those in charge aren't fixing the problem, why give them more money? Isn't that the same thing as throwing the money down a rat hole? Point well taken, but further inspection of the problem is deserved before the teachers and the administration are thrown out with the bath water.
Two problems seem to be at play at the same time in today's high schools. First, upon graduating or dropping out of school students have no further responsibility to our society with regard to any kind of payback. Secondly, high school curriculum has not changed a whole lot from the days when I went to high school more than 40 years ago.
At that time, a high school student who dropped out or graduated basically had two choices as to a course of action. They could either go on to college or join the military. Today, neither seems to be a choice for a good many former high school students. But it shouldn't be a choice: Former high school students should be required to do, say, two years of service for our country either in the military or in a Peace Corps-type organization serving right here in the United States. As with the G.I. Bill for military veterans, those who successfully complete their two-year stint would be offered the opportunity to pursue further training at the university level or perhaps in a job training program.
Students could be deferred from this service if they went on to a college or university, but after their post-secondary education they would still owe the two years of service to the country. The reasons for this are many: It would require young people to give back some sweat equity in areas where their talents could be used and give them a degree of pride in knowing they have contributed to the common good of our country. They also might develop respect for our societal mores and strive a little harder to be good, contributing members of our society.
High school students today are more sophisticated than those of 40 years ago. This difference should be used to tailor high school curricula to take advantage of this sophistication and stimulate high school students to perform at a higher level than ever before. Allow today's high school student to manage their high school education more by allowing them to choose from a menu of courses aligned with various areas of interest. Woodland High School in Woodland, Calif., followed a course of study in the 1990s called Pathways.
The Pathways program had booklets printed in various colors to represent the various career paths. Teams of teachers developed these paths that students could choose. Each booklet identified the high school, junior college and college courses needed to achieve the desired goal. Entry level and career expectations were delineated as well as typical incomes to be derived from the various paths. These booklets were readily available all over the school all year long.
Every student was given an entry-level interest inventory test prior to enrolling in school to assist both student and counselor in determining a path. Parent involvement also was required in this selection process. Students could change their pathway every grading period, even in their senior year. Students, parents and counselors met together twice a year. The school had more counselors than usual as a result of this requirement. The cost of the extra counselors was the only extra cost to the school district.
As a result of implementing this program, Woodland High School decreased its dropout rate from 17 percent to 12 percent in the first year. The administration found that students were bringing their classmates who had dropped out back to school as a result of implementing this program.
With a little fine tuning our public schools can become more successful and be a source of pride for all citizens as well.

Salmon Chowder
My mother and father live down the street from me, just a few houses away. This is wonderfully convenient for yours truly, who often finds herself heading over to their house to raid their fridge. No, I'm not a teenager, but yes, I still do raid their fridge. (You would too, my parents have great leftovers!)
Thankfully for mom and dad, the arrangement goes both ways. They stopped by the other day when we had just finished up cooking this salmon chowder, and happily packed half of it to take home with them. The verdict the next day? Raves.

Its all part of a new program in which mothers agree to donate the umbilical cord blood to create a blood bank.
The blood could help save lives of those who suffer from cancer or serious blood disorders.

Terps Add Much Needed Post Depth
The Terrapins have added former Penn State forward Jonathan Graham. Graham is the son of former Maryland star Ernest Graham. Graham decided to transfer after seeing both his minutes and production fall with the Nittay Lions. Graham who was a redshirt last season, has applied for a waiver to allow him to play this season.
Maryland currently has only ten scholarship players (counting Graham), with only three "true" post players, sophomore's Shaquille Cleare and Charles Mitchell, along with freshman Damonte Dodd. Junior Michigan transfer Evan Smotrycz has the size and the experience to play power forward, but is much more effective on the perimeter. Maryland could also use sophomore Jake Layman in smaller lineups, but he is a natural wing player.
The 6'8″ 225 pound Graham was a two time All-City Baltimore selection, playing for Calvert Hall. Graham is a redshirt Junior and will probably only be with the Terps this season, as Coach Mark Turgeon has a full allotment (13) of scholarship allocated for the 2013-'14 season.
Midnight Madness is right around the corner, just six weeks from Friday!

BREAKING NEWS: Cameron Mackintosh Bringing Re-Imagined LES MISERABLES to Broadway in Spring 2014!
Cameron Mackintosh announced today that his acclaimed new production of Alain Boublil & Claude-Michel Schönberg's Tony Award-winning musical masterpiece Les Miserables will come to Broadway in March, 2014 at a Shubert theater to be announced. This newly re-imagined Les Miserables is breaking box-office records across the country and around the world and inspired filmmakers to make the immensely successful movie which has been nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture and has won 3 Golden Globes including Best Picture, as well as 4 BAFTA's. The new production has been a sell-out since launching a U.S. national tour in November 2010, having already played in 64 cities throughout North America, grossing more than $130 million. International productions of the new Les Miserables have met with equal success and acclaim in the U.K, France, Spain and Korea. New productions are scheduled to open in the coming months in Japan, Canada, Australia and Brazil.
Cameron Mackintosh said "To my constant surprise, my productions continue to be enjoyed as much as ever by audiences all around the world and I'm thrilled to have the unique chance of redoing them all over as if they were brand new shows. I'm even more delighted that they are proving just as big hits at the box office in their new form as the originals, having recently reinvented Oliver!, Phantom and Miss Saigon to similar acclaim to the new Les Miserables. It's marvelous that modern audiences are embracing them as contemporary musicals rather than revivals. I am delighted that Broadway audiences will now join the millions of Americans who have already flocked to see this glorious new staging and spectacular re-imagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo."
Philip J. Smith, Chairman of The Shubert Organization, said, "We're thrilled Cameron is bringing LES MIZ back to Broadway, where it's been a huge success, not once, but twice. Both times in Shubert theaters. In 1985, Bernie Jacobs, Bob Wankel and I went to London to attend the world premiere. We knew that night Cameron had created something great. We were right."
Anita Gates in The New York Times calls this new production of Les Miserables "a splendidly reworked, unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish." Benedict Nightingale in The London Times hails the new LES MIZ "a five star hit, astonishingly powerful and as good as the original." Peter Filichia in The Star-Ledger calls it "a dynamically re-imagined hit. This Les Miserables has improved with age" and Roma Torre on NY1 News proclaims "this new production actually exceeds the original. The storytelling is clearer, the perspective grittier and the motivations more honest. Musical theatre fans can rejoice: LES MIZ is born again." Terry Byrne in The Boston Globe said, "The new production of Les Miserables qualifies as a truly extraordinary theatrical experience. It is nothing less than stunning. This production is so breathtaking, you simply won't want it to end." Chris Jones in The Chicago Tribune called the new LES MIZ, "uncommonly raw, unusually emotional and strikingly intense. LES MIZ stands alone in its dramatic and emotional achievements. The storytelling is formidable; the theatricalization spectacular. This new production refreshes and rethinks without sacrificing any singularity of intensity or artistic occasion. It is not to be missed."

Cosmetic Fillers at our Boston area MedSpa
When it comes to facial fillers, many exciting options exist to help diminish and fill in smile line creases, marionette frown lines, thin and wrinkled lips, depressed scars, and hollowed out cheeks. Let us choose the appropriate injectable filler that may give temporary or long lasting improvement. We offer the latest in dermal fillers including Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero. These fillers offer many advantages over the old generation Collagen.
Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by the loss of the collagen support layer just beneath the skin.
Dermal fillers are safe, non-surgical procedures performed in less than an hour with virtually no down time. These injectable fillers are used to increase facial volume and smooth facial lines and wrinkles by replenishing the natural collagen support layer beneath your skin. Many of our fillers can also be used to enhance the lips and improve the appearance of fine lines around the lips.
Radiesse is a synthetic gel that has similar characteristics to bone and teeth making it naturally compatible to the body. Radiesse used to add fullness to areas of the face that need it such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and cheeks. It also works well for cheek augmentation. It is safe and has an immediate result. This filler has a beautiful fill and works well for the patient who wants long-lasting fullness. Results typically last for 10-12 months.
Restylane is a safe and natural cosmetic filler used to restore volume and fullness to the skin. Restylane is used for lip augmentation and also corrects moderate facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around
the mouth).
Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our body that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvederm is primarily used to replenish loss of volume in the cheeks and nasolabial folds (smile lines). Juvederm provides a smooth, long-lasting correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Belotero is a dermal filler containing hyaluronan, a natural component of our skin, which helps to keep the skin moist and elastic. Belotero has unique properties that allow it to adapt within the skin for soft and even correction of wrinkles. With a special, patented production process Belotero is able to fill out the skin more effectively, giving a more natural look and setting new standards in wrinkle corrections.

Thanks for posting!!! This is a really AWESOME article and spot on!!!!!!!!
Great article.
http://www.examiner.com/x-1348-Twin-...-Elvis-Presley"Rock and roll music, if you like it and you feel it, you cant help but move to it. Thats what happens to me. I have to move around. I cant stand still. Ive tried it and I cant do it." Elvis Presley, 1956
January 8th, 2009 will mark what would have been the 74th birthday of Elvis Presley. Years ago such an anniversary would have meant little to me. I grew up knowing only the bloated caricatures of Elvis; the overweight impersonators in sequin jumpsuits, the cardboard star of a multitude of abysmal movies, and the lurid tabloid tales of demented decadence behind the gates of Graceland. In my youthful arrogance I dismissed the cult of personality around Elvis as merely the musty byproduct of nostalgia. Only recently, upon seeking out the man behind the myth, would I find an artist of extraordinary consequence that remains fully worthy of his legendary status.
More than any other artist of the 20th century, Elvis Presley liberated performers from the constraints imposed by morality watchdogs, leading a revolution through uninhibited, impassioned movement. Backed by a combustive rockabilly beat, an alien fusion of country with rhythm and blues, Elvis literally vibrated with the music. And his voice, capable of dynamic shifts from velvety soft lullabies to exuberant howls, was the ultimate instrument for channeling cathartic release.
From 1954 - 1957 Elvis Presley and his alchemically charged band (principally Scotty Moore on lead guitar, Bill Black on bass, and D.J. Fontana on drums) barnstormed throughout the country, driving crowds to hysterics everywhere from rowdy backroad bars to small-town auditoriums to farmland-surrounded country fairgrounds. Even those that detested his performance, deriding Elvis an obscene degenerate corrupting the morals of young fans, had to admit that he was one of a kind. To Elvis, who viewed his performances as spiritual celebrations of the music, the controversy around his movements never made sense.
In interview after interview Elvis defended his "vulgar gyrations" as sincere manifestations of the rhythm and beat. While he certainly understood the effect his gestures had on an audience (and consciously adjusted movements to provoke the maximum response) there was nothing ingenuous or sinister in his intent. By virtue of being completely enraptured in the music, Elvis tore apart the bonds of repressive cultural mores. Elvis might never have intended for his raw movements to be interpreted as anything more than individual expression, but to millions of Americans his performances were nothing short of a revolutionary art form.
1950s America represented a world of tremendous social repression where firm moral codes were stringently followed. Nonconformity was suspect in most circles and proper etiquette dictated behavior. Expressions of excessive emotion, no matter how sincere, were simply not compatible with mainstream values. Certainly anything suggestive of sex was considered the providence of loathsome deviants, not respectable citizens. Elvis was a cultural bomb that obliterated such repressive thinking, igniting explosive concerts where audience members shed inhibitions through outpourings of emotion. A judge in Jacksonville, FL considered Elvis such a threat to moral codes that obscenity charges were promised if Elvis were to perform as usual. While Elvis toned down his movements for that one particular performance, he couldnt resist the convulsive wiggling of a rebellious finger throughout the show.
After Elvis was drafted into the army in 1957, things just werent the same. He continued to be a popular recording artist for many years, but the work was increasingly substandard. The old passion seemed gone, smothered under soulless movie roles meant to economically capitalize on his appeal but ultimately sanitized his image, making him seem uncool and outdated. Though the old spirit occasionally resurfaced (most notably during the televised 68 "Comeback" Special and subsequent concert tour) a combination of insulated living, drug dependency, and uninspired projects crippled his artistic drive, making Elvis a victim of his own success, buried beneath the weight of his own excessive iconography.
Yet the phenomenal achievements earned by Elvis should never be discredited. Far from the easy punch line of a million impersonators, the man sparked a cultural revolution that stands as one of the most significant in the 20th century. For evidence of his genius, just listen to his early recordings on Sun Records or his first two albums with RCA. Better still, seek out footage from his early concerts and witness the unleashed explosion of exuberance that suggested a body utter incapable of containing such a raucous spirit.
On January 8th the Famous Daves in Calhoun Square will be hosting its 3rd Annual Crown Me the King, Elvis Impersonator Contest. Stockcar Named Desire will be the backing band, so even if the performers are subpar, the music should be solid. Me, though, Ill likely be staying at home with my copy of the Sun Sessions, celebrating not ELVIS the icon, but Elvis Presley, the artist that did more than any other to liberate performers in this country.
In the words of Bob Dylan, "Hearing him (Elvis) for the first time was like busting out of jail."
Thanks for posting!!! This is a really AWESOME article and spot on!!!!!!!!
"More people today should see him not simply as a performer, but as an artist with a great soul."
John Bakke, professor emeritus
University of Memphis
Great article! Thanks for posting it Donut.
One of the best articles on Elvis in a long while. great, thank you.
You are welcome. Some of the people that were in Elvis' life at one time or another should read this too and maybe learn a thing or two about what Elvis was about and how he should be remembered
That is a real great article......enjoyed reading this.
Nice article to read. Thanks a lot for the link!
Let the stars fade and fall, and I won't care at all, as long as I have you.

You're lookin' like glory and walkin' like a dream...
Mother nature's sure been good to Y-O-U"

"I STILL LOVE NY" Hurricane Sandy relief T-Shirt
No longer available
Behind the art
Sebastian Errazuriz's studio was paralyzed after the hurricane. Unable to work and tired of watching the horrible disaster unfold on the news, Errazuriz decided to design something to help raise much-needed relief funds. This idea occurred to him after seeing the water line marked on the walls of the flooded galleries in New York's Chelsea art district.
Sebastian Errazuriz
Chilean born, New York based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz was raised in London; took art classes in Washington, film courses in Edinburgh, and a design degree in Santiago. He later received his Master's in Fine Arts from New York University.
At age 28, Sebastian became the second living South American artist to have work auctioned at Sotheby's Important Twentieth Century Design. In 2007 Errazuriz was selected one of the top emerging international designers by I.D. Magazine. In 2010 he received the title of Chilean Designer of the Year and in 2011 was selected for the Compasso d' Oro.
Sebastian Errazuriz's work has been exhibited alongside the most celebrated architects and designers in over forty international exhibitions. His work has been included in exhibitions and shows at the Copper Hewitt, National Museum of Design in New York, The Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art, The Vitra Museum in Weil AM Rheim in Germany, The Museum of Art and Design in New York, The Mint Museum, The Corning Museum of Glass and the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago, Chile.
Sebastian's work has been featured in over 1000 press articles by the specialized media. He has also received critical acclaim from The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, BBC, CNN, Good Morning America, and NY1. His work has been featured in multiple books and catalogues and his first monograph "The journey of Sebastian Errazuriz" was published and distributed internationally by Gestalten in 2012.
Sebastian Errazuriz lives and works in New York, and has workshops in Santiago

More than 100,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict. Almost two million have been forced to flee the country, most now living in refugee camps in neighbouring states. At least four million more have had to leave their homes because of the fighting and have become refugees in their own country.
Despite all this, remarkable numbers of journalists, civil society activists and human rights defenders in Syria continue working despite the perils they face.
As the conflict in Syria deepens, IWPR is extending its long-running programme to strengthen independent local voices and contribute to accountability and human rights in this extremely dangerous environment.

New Balance Elite "Propaganda Pack"
June 27th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 2 comments
Pulling inspiration from a rather unexpected corner of history, New Balance's new "Propaganda Pack" dress up a couple of its Elite Edition models in colors inspired by the palettes of propaganda posters that started circulating around during World War I. The result is a triple threat black and red pack, with elite versions of the New Balance 1600, New Balance MT580, and New Balance 999 from the group all dressed up in similar colors, and apparently getting packaged with some slick posters to make the theme complete. Get a look at each after the jump and keep in mind that the New Balance "Propaganda Pack" is officially slated for a July 1st release, but some stores have already been spotted stocking them.

The withering humour passed down through the Clough genes would go something along the lines of: "He can't run, he can't tackle and he can't head it." Clough senior would have thrown something more into the mix about the ghost-white Hughes spending all his holidays in Reykjavik and barely eating enough to keep a rabbit alive, judging by the frame which suggests the teenager could struggle to bench press 50kg.
Prime physical specimen Hughes is not. So why have Barcelona been monitoring him since he caught the eye playing for England under-17s in Portugal over two summers ago?
Why do Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea scouts all have season tickets at Pride Park? Why does Derby County's chief executive Sam Rush confidently expect he will be able to prize 15 million pounds out of the hands of one of Hughes' many suitors, either in January or at the end of the season? In fact, even if, at that price, he is over budget for most, why has virtually every Premier League club sent representatives to check on him?
It's fairly simple when one agent who witnessed Hughes, covered in factor 50, for the first time that summer in Portugal reveals: "He was the name every scout and agent had on their lips when they went home from the tournament. He was that good. He stood out above everyone else."
That particular agent spent the next two years trying to get the mandate to represent Hughes, but was barely allowed through the electronic training ground gates at Moor Farm. Clough junior, like his father, had a glowering dislike of agents, but a love of pure footballers. So what is the attraction? Surely it is more than the shock of blonde hair and the pop-art boots.
Clough, and anyone who has worked with the teenager since he entered the Derby County academy at the age of 12, will say that there are a few outstanding qualities which make Hughes stand out and spike the interest of expert observers.
In no particular order, the ever-expanding Hughes appreciation society will hit you with the list: Courage, the ability to pass the ball and a 360 degree appreciation of everything which is happening at 100mph around him on any given pitch in the Championship.
"Courage comes in all shapes and sizes. Sticking your head in when you know you will get hurt. Going in for a 50-50 tackle, or taking a penalty when the chips are down," said Darren Wassall, Derby County academy director. "There is no greater courage in football than the courage to constantly be willing to accept the ball in any area of the pitch, whether you are having a good game, average game or a shocker and whether you are un-marked or have three opponents on you."
"They are talents you cannot coach -- certainly not coach to that level. He was born with those god-given abilities. They are the attributes all managers and coaches want players to have, but he is a freak in the way that he has them already."
They are the qualities that made him England's second youngest ever England under-21 representative and won him his Derby debut at the age of 16. They are the qualities Greg Dyke wants his new FA Commission to un-earth and nurture in the players of the future.
It is little wonder why Clough identified with Hughes the moment he walked into the club in 2009. Anyone that ever saw Clough play for Nottingham Forest -- before the tackle from behind was outlawed -- will struggle to remember a braver man and still wince at the memory of Tony Adams and Steve Bould taking turns to leave stud marks on his achilles, calf, or the backs of his knees.
Clough junior was derided for having no pace and his inability to head the ball, but he could pass it with a blindfold fitted and could even calculate what was required to reach an intended target at precisely the correct velocity. It was footballing love at first sight.
He has been in football since sitting in the dug-out at the old Baseball Ground as a school boy. Clough knows there are few certainties in the game, but Hughes making it to the very top of the English game is not a matter for conjecture for him. It is not a matter of if, but when and more importantly where? Hughes style dictates that he will only fit into a small number of teams, even though he could play at the base of a diamond, dictating play from deep, at either side of the diamond, because of his abilities on both sides and at the attacking point of the diamond, to thread passes into dangerous attackers.
Last season Manchester United were thought to be the leading admirers and probable destination for Hughes. The comparisons between Hughes and Paul Scholes, without the wonderful shooting from distance, are obvious. Arsenal would be a better fit, however, with their meticulous build up, love of passing the ball almost like it is an addiction. Hughes would be tuned into the wavelength immediately and completely at home exchanging triangles with Jack Wilshere and Mesut Ozil.
Barcelona seems a fanciful destination, despite the dossier which has a place on the hard drive of the master computer that monitors talent across the globe, in the search for the new Iniesta or Xavi.
In recent months the smart money has been placed on Liverpool as the most likely destination, for a number of reasons, enhanced by the recent decision made at Anfield to loan Andre Wisdom to new boss Steve McClaren ahead of the first opportunity to test Derby's resolve on Hughes in January. As yet, despite all the chatter, no one has registered an official offer.
Liverpool have an edge for another reason. Hughes is a Liverpool supporter and idolises Steven Gerrard. It is believed Hughes has made it clear that Anfield is his preferred destination, when the time comes to clear his locker at Moor Farm. Brendan Rodgers' style and determination to pass his way, attractively, back into the real forefront of English football would suit Hughes perfectly and he would suit the Kop too.
He won't be the rampaging, marauding Gerrard in his prime, his passes will rarely travel anywhere near the distance of one of the England international's famous raking diagonal deliveries, but Hughes has the inner strength and courage to succeed where many before him have failed to cope with the expectation. Clough's mentoring and Hughes' intelligent and level-headed approach will see to that.
Before he was sacked, Clough, who fought tooth and nail against selling him last summer, felt more resistance in January would be futile, especially if there was a chance to loan him back like Manchester United did with Wilfred Zaha.
Derby accept they will have to sell their major asset in a bid to reduce a 15 million pound loan they owe to the Co-operative Bank, which is due for repayment in 2016. After posting losses of around seven million pounds in the last two financial years, with another loss expected by Derby's American owners General Sports and Entertainment, view Hughes as their golden ticket to virtually wipe out that debt. He might not look it, but Clough will tell you he is worth every penny.

2009 Part 2 Pages from vacation.
For a long time I wasn't satisfied with my drawings. I felt they're not mine.
After a long brake, i read a book "Experiential drawing" by Robert Dvorak and it let me found other way to draw.
these are awesome!

Velocity Kendall, i'm glad you like it.
I would like to write much more about my sketches, but my writing english is poor so i don't.
2009 Part 3 ZOO
Before 2009 my drawing were very unnatural, because i aimed at realism. It was very stressfull, drawings were rigid. I knew that it's wrong and i stopped drawing for almost 3 years. Critical moment was, when i found blind drawing exercise (in my case it was in the book i mentioned earlier in this thread). I understood, that i needed different approach to drawing.
Mad lines! Double thumbs up
amazing lines, I love your style, very original and interesting to look at. Have you tried adding some colours? I think solid pure colours would fit so well with your lines
wonderful works, I'll follow this thread
- Sketchbook - Blog - DeviantArt - Youtube -
Nice! Right up my alley.
Thank you for all kind words.
velvetcat these drawing were made very fast. The idea was to draw once and never return to earlier drawings. I drew at bus, waiting for my wife etc. Sometimes i had to stop right after start sometimes i i had little more time. So i choose fountain pen and brush pen (will be soon).
I use color (mostly watercolor) but i'm little afraid of it. Color works are rather fast (like sketches) but i need much time for them.
2009 Part 4 Waiting
2009 Part 5
Today sketches made with brush with ink.
2009 Part 6
Next three sketches made with pen and brush. I like this tools, they're quick and can be combined easily.
2010 Part 1 Waiting
Today I want to show first sketches from 2010. I used two fountain pens: one with calligraphy nib and one with flexible F golden nib. I like drawing with flexible nibs because i think that my drawings are more dynamic and respond to my mood.
I would like to know what your impressions are?
2010 Part 2 Abstract
This are drawings based on experiments from book "Spirit of Drawing" by Connie Smith Siegel. I think it is great book when you need to change something in technique. It teaches how to incorporate all senses to drawing. It was great time for me, working with this book. There will be more images soon.
These three are about sensing the world around.
i love your lines
1984 liuyu: I'm very happy you like it. Drawing this way was very big step for me. For years I was trying to draw with realism, but it was unnatural for me.
2010 Part 3 Feeling movement experiment
This is next experiment after "Spirit of drawing". Here is my try. There are 5 steps:
Step 1. Draw an object (tree, flower etc.) as realisitic as you can.
Step 2. Look at the object for a while and draw it with eyes closed. Try to feel movement.
Step 3. Look again and draw movement with eyes closed.
Step 4. Look again (as long as you need) and draw it with sensing movement again.
Step 5. Look at the object and draw it with eyes open, trying to incorporate feeling movement from previous drawing.
I was suprised after this experiment. It was so big difference (and improvement IMHO) before first and fifth drawing.
I hope you'll like this experiment and apologies for all mistakes.
2010 Part 4
Today i want to show you four drawings.
poprzednie drzewka sa naprawde dobre, z nowszych widza mi sie budynki. Ogolnie wydaje mi sie ze bardziej wychodza Ci rzeczy statyczne ale nie ograniczaj sie do niczego, probuj roznych technik czy sposobow rysowania.
pozdravem i powodzenia
i like your style
hu-ha dziękuję bardzo, ciągle pracuję nad sobą. Dla mnie najważniejsza jest sama przyjemność z rysowania.
native007 thank you for the compliment.
2010 Part 5 Sense of touch and weight
Today drawings inspired by touching objects and surfaces and feeling weight in the body.
Such wonderful lines ... Matisse would be proud of you
Samajn Thank you very much. I'm trying to enjoy drawing.
2010 Part 6 Sounds
These drawings are made while listening world around me. This is an incredible feeling, when you're trying to draw talking people or noisy street. Different lines, rythms, directions. Of course you can't repeat any of them.
2010 Part 7 Wroclaw
Different drawings from observation.
Those steps above are certainly interesting, i'm gonna try it out sometime.
your linework varies so much, i guess the only thing i'd like to see is you focus on one particular thing you really enjoy, i support full experimentation, but nothing wrong with really jumping into a subject
either way, incredibly interesting approach, and thanks for sharing, drawing occasionally feels like a chore, but a lot of what i'm doing now are studies..shrug
swing by my book sometime, maybe you have some thoughts
keep posting, cheers!!
...the imperfections make it interesting...
[sketchbook] [deviantart]
Dope Friend: Thank you for your thoughts, i appreciate it. I started drawing a long time ago. It was a time i thought i can draw like people here. After many disappointments i understood it is not my way (i hope it will change). One particular thing i enjoy is drawing and it makes me happy. My linework change because it responds to my mood. Sometimes i don't recognize my works but i like all of them .
I would like to share my approach. Maybe someone is bored and feels that he has stopped. Maybe this will help to find pleasure in drawing again.
2010 Part 8 Feeling
Today drawings made from imagination. There are records i made about feeling vertical, horizontal, tension of my face, etc.
Please update, I dont want to miss anything in here, subscribed. and postage stamped.
yeah, like your drawings, especially figures and characters!
Kill byte: Thank you, I'm trying to post as much as i can.
Goran Radosevic: I like to draw people. I have 11 sketchbooks but many drawings are unrecognizable and i don't want to post crap.
2010 Part 9 Japanese garden
Today drawings from walk to garden.
2010 Part 10 In my head
Today drawings i made with closed eyes. I tried to feel world around me, and my face, body from inside. This is great experiment, when you close your eyes and try to feel what happens with your face. This is from "Spirit of drawing" too.
2010 Part 11 Quick architecture sketches
Today i would like to post few architectural sketches i made.
They are very quick due to lack of time. I made them waiting for the bus, while my wife doing shopping etc.
2010 Part 11 More people
Today next few people drawing.

For variety, energy, and quality, Chicago rightly ranks as one of the country's most remarkable restaurant towns. Here's a look at which restaurants came out on top in the Windy City and environs in the 1997 Zagat Survey of Chicago Restaurants.
Rated the city's most popular restaurant since Zagat began the survey in 1986 is Ambria, a contemporary French restaurant in a elegant art nouveau setting on North Lincoln Park. The more traditional Le Francais in suburban Wheeling retained its number-one ranking for best food, posting Chicago's only 29 on a scale of 0 to 30. This year's top-ranked newcomer is Courtright's, a suburban restaurant in Willow Springs offering sophisticated New American cuisine and views of a forest preserve.
Rated tops for decor was the Ritz-Carlton Dining Room, which also rated tops for hotel dining. At the head of the list for people-watching was Gibsons Bar and Steakhouse, although respondents complained that there were "too many people with name badges" in the crowd. The highest rating for Mexican food went to Frontera Grill, although respondents grumbled about the no-reservation policy. Also among the top-five scorers in this category were two new Mexican restaurants, Chapulin and Salpicion.
The survey highlights new slices of Paris in Chicago, including Brasserie Jo and Cyrano's, both offering informal but highly rated French cooking at average meal costs under $30.
Chicago foodies have been waiting for L.A.'s Wolfgang Puck to bring the best of California cuisine to the Midwest, and now they can enjoy the newly opened version of Puck's Spago on Dearborn Avenue. (The restaurant opened as the Zagat edition went to press so it is not rated in the 1997 edition.)
Many of Chicago's trendy spots have launched extensive menus of fanciful martini concoctions, not to mention cigar bars. Also hot are supper clubs, with Lola's in River North being an early success story in this category.
According to survey respondents, the average cost per meal in the Chicago area increased to $23.16 in 1996 from $21.87 in 1984 (about 5.9 percent in two years). The price rise was higher in the 20 most expensive restaurants, which rose 7.7 percent from $49.65 to $53.46 in 1996. These prices compare favorably to 1996 average prices for New York City ($29.28 and $65.08). Los Angeles in 1996 had a higher average cost per meal ($23.72), but a lower average cost at the most expensive restaurants ($46.44).

Oekaki 2.0? Huh?
This won't separate the members, I guarantee you that. I also said that if it does, I would get rid of it. The GB also doesn't separate members either. The Oekaki is completely different from the forum, so you can't say that separates us. I don't understand why you can't just see how it works out. You just have to be right.
About the last paragraph: If the GB has too many members in it at once, it lags and crashes.
I couldn't imagine what kind of a mod you'd be like, so please, don't criticize me for something you'd be worse at.
The GD isn't meant for threads where you just disagree with people, but you wouldn't know that because that's all you do.
I'm keeping it up to see how it goes and I'm warning you for trolling and offensive language.
