Exploring the overlap and relevance of Modernist philosophy, literature, art, music, culture, and modern life with paganism.
The meaning of Pagan
I have written much about my feelings of the word "pagan" on my primary religious blog, Of Thespiae. I've written about how the use of the word in the pagan community has become so loose that it's meaningless for all practical purposes. I've written about how, in spite of regular protests from the pagan community, the implicit "positive definition" of "paganism" ("positive definition" meaning "defining what something is"; whereas "negative definitions" define by what a word is not) is incredibly Eurocentric [2]. I've even mentioned how the "negative definition" of the word "pagan" isn't necessarily true, as the tradition of Christopaganism certainly makes it hard to say where the Christianity ends and the paganism begins. I've written about the incredibly secular climate of the pagan community in current culture.
The word "pagan" is not one I've been terribly fond of. Early on in my spiritual journey, earliest possible point being around either 1989 (when a nun at my old Catholic school gave me a copy of D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths and, I swear, I felt touched by Apollon in ways that Jesus and El Shaddai just never really could) or 1993 (when I first really started exploring ostensibly "pagan" paths), the word "pagan" was practically interchangeable with "Wiccan" or "witchcraft", or so it seemed when trying to find any books on the topic; there was a minority of books about Heathenry, Celtic polytheism, and neo-Druidry, but there was no uncertainty to the dominance of witchcraft-based paganism, and frankly, that only barely interested me, and not enough to really look too deeply into it. For a very brief time in high school, I practised a hodgepodge "Celtic reconstruction" of my own design, but I eschewed the word "pagan" because this didn't fit the common idea that most people had of "pagans" in the modern days, which was pretty much synonymous with "witchcraft", even if one knew that religious witchcraft wasn't as phantasmagorical as scenes from The Craft or even Practical Magic, they didn't really conceptualise it as simply "worshipping the gods of the British Isles", which is what I did, then. Toward the end of high school, I just gave up on my self-made Panceltic religion, cos most of those gods barely seemed "real" to me, and I joined the Church of Satan briefly, which is adamantly not pagan, in its self-definition, and though most members describe Satanism under the definition of Anton LaVey as "atheistic", further reading into LaVey's later essays, and not to mention certain interpretations of passages in The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals, suggest that he himself was better defined as Maltheistic (a word of earliest use in print traced to Usenet in 1985, and defining one who ostensibly believes in one or more gods, but deems It/(S)He/Them as unfit for human worship; see LaVey's "God of the Assholes", which appears in Satan Speaks! ©1997, for the most clear evidence of LaVey's maltheistic, rather than atheistic beliefs). I was never a good atheist, somewhere in my head, I always believed in the gods of Hellas, and I was never maltheistic, either, because even if some deities don't want, need, or even deserve my worship, there are others that do, and by the time I was twenty-two, I basically outgrew the need for LaVey's church that I briefly had. But pagan? To see if that word fit, I put a toe in the on-line pagan community for the first time in six years when I was about twenty-four, and at that time, I'd discovered a vibrant and thriving community of Hellenic reconstructionists, most of whom had mixed feelings about the word "pagan". I pretty much only interacted with other recons for about another two or three years, and though I forget what ultimately teased me out, I had never really fully embraced "pagan" as a part of my religious identity.
Now, I say "religious identity". This is important. Though there are certainly a handful of people who describe their religion as simply "pagan" or "paganism", there is no single, positively-defined religion called "paganism". The word "pagan" is generally assumed to be a collection of religions, generally of European or Mediterranean (including the Near and Middle east and Northern Africa, specifically countried along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea) origin, that either a) pre-date Christianity, b) attempt to reconstruct or revive said, or c) are newer religions that are at least somewhat influenced or inspired by said (like Wicca or Feri). Prior Christianity, none of the local religions of Europe and the Mediterranean called themselves "pagan"; indeed, one's religion was usually just a part of the local lifestyle and was, at most, simply the way of worshipping the local gods --the ancient Greek dialects don't even have a word for "religion", the closest being "ta hiera", which is often translated as "the sacred" or "sacred things". "Pagan" is a thoroughly modern religious identity; similarly, "gay" is a thoroughly modern sexual identity, as in ancient times, most cultures didn't compartmentalise human sexuality with terms like "heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual" and sexuality certainly had less to do with the gender ofthe person one was attracted to than it had to do with the activities one engaged their sexual partners with. These identities certainly exist, but they lose all meaning outside a modern context, and even within that context, are subject to change in their subtlety of meaning due to many factors, including time, location, implications by the speaker, and inference of the listener.
The Roman word "paganus", often translated as "of the countryside", was often a colloquialism roughly equivalent to the modern American English "hillbilly", with connotations of being "backwards" and ignorant. When early Roman Christianity adopted a militaristic means of enforcement, the "paganus", not necessarily of the countryside any-more, were those who held to the old ways. (Exactly how long those "old ways" were held to is still debated in some circles, but contrary to what some academic pagans may believe, the witch cult hypothesis hasn't been completely discredited.)
The first appearance of the word "neopagan" actually came in the 19th Century, in a critique of a wave of English poets and writers who were utterly fascinated with Greco-Roman pre-Christian literature, and so Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and others were criticised as "neopagans". I can't think of a single one of those people who identified with the word "pagan"; Shelley described himself as Atheist, Oscar Wilde was a Catholic.
The words "pagan" and "neopagan" came to be reclaimed by the community of Wicca initiates, Dianics, and others by the 1970s. Then some time in the 1980s, Heathens decided that what they were doing was different enough, and made efforts to divorce their community from the pagan community, and nowadays, most Heathens (at least in my experiences) have nothing to do with the pagan community, no matter how many "pagan 101"-type books include Heathenry in a list of pagan religions. And that's just fine. People are certainly welcome to describe themselves in whatever words they like, especially when a community is very small (much smaller than it is today) and only people who are kind of similar are looking for common traits to band together under.
Since then, there have been a great many strides made for the pagan community --socially and legally-- even though there is clearly so much more to be done. One of the major improvements is that the pagan community no longer encompasses people practising Wicca or something based on it, and even fewer are "starting out Wiccan, first"; at one time, I was the only person I knew in the Hellenic community who was honestly never a Wiccan or something like it prior to Hellenismos, but of the people I actively engage with in the Hellenic community now, I can't think of a single person under the age of thirty who says they were previously practising Wicca. While Wicca still manages to dominate the mainstream media image of "paganism", it's no longer the unyielding monolith of the pagan community while us chimps standing around it struggle with rocks and sticks just in hopes of being seen.
So what does "pagan" mean, now, given the clear change to the landscape?
As best as I can say, "pagan" is an experience that one practising certain religions may face. The pagan experience includes, but might not be limited to:
- fear of losing custody of one's child because of one's religion
- fear of threats to one's personal safety or property because of one's religion
- fear of loss of employment because of one's religion
- fear of losing friends or of becoming estranged from one's family because of one's religion
- having one's religion unfairly caricatured, ridiculed, or dismissed as something "no-one practises any-more"
- a gross misunderstanding, from those outside one's religious community, of what one's religion practises
- inaccurate dismissal by a society of one's religion as "just mythology", indicating a societal ignorance of and disregard to the etymology of "mythology" from the ancient Hellenic meaning "sacred texts".
Since ancient times, the word "pagan" has been used by a mainstream of society to "other" people who were different. It's been attached by urban and military Romans onto a rural population; it's been attached by Christians onto polytheists (including animists) and atheists alike. It's not our word, it's theirs, some of us have just reclaimed and repurposed it.
The trend to self-identify with the word "pagan" is a very new thing in recent years, and is a practise eschewed by most Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, Shenists, Taoists (and others of Chinese religions), Native American / First Nations and Aboriginal Australian, Maori, and people of indigenous Polynesian peoples. The word has decreased in popularity among reconstructionists practising European and Mediterranean religions because in spite of clear growth in the pagan community, misunderstandings of what makes Eclectic Wiccans and, say, Kemeticists distinct continues to fall on deaf ears both outside and within the pagan community, as some people are still very insistent that the various religions under the alleged "pagan umbrella" share "common roots" when that hasn't been indisputably true since the Indo-European nations deviated from Sanskrit (or perhaps earlier).
I therefore posit that focusing on the idea of "pagan" as a religious grouping is all wrong. The better idea is to focus on the idea of "pagan" as a social experience, not unlike the social experiences of race, sexuality, and gender. To be "pagan" is less about how one relates to one's own religious path, and is more about how the ostensibly Judeo-Christian, or more broadly, Abrahamic society relates to religions that it decrees to be "pagan", and if we go to the sources of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, this experience of being "paganised" (to use the modern term) is one that pre-dates Roman dominance, and is as old as proto-Monotheistic/Monolateral Semetic religion. To be "pagan" is to be the "Other" of a society.

"It's perfectly fine for you to assert your religious identity, to resist being placed in a tent that you don't want to be in. I respect and honor that. But don't tell us who are already in the tent, building it and tending it, that the tent doesn't really (or shouldn't really) exist."
It's also interesting that I've never heard Christians saying that the term "Christian" is meaningless, despite the wide diversity of beliefs among the Southern Baptist Convention, Catholics, Mormons, Coptics, Unitarians, the Salvation Army, etc. etc.
Monday, 03 June 2013
False analogy. "Christian" defines what someone's religion actually is --while the nuances and acceptable range of variables within that belief may differ by sect, the most basic definition of "Christian" is "one whose religion is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ".
The word "pagan" doesn't have that basic property of a positive definition; quite the contrary, everything from the OED to every major by-and-for-pagans source on the Internet defines "pagan" by what it is not, rendering it a negative definition. There are self-identified pagans who are historically-based, those who practise something that is arguably very new, and those who are just literally making it up as they go along; some practise a religion that has a name, others simply decide their religion is "Paganism" (and yet I've never met a single such person who can define what that "Paganism" is, outside the standard "big tent" definition). The word "pagan", on its own, says literally nothing about what one practises. Some pagans are polytheist, some are monotheist, some are atheist, sometimes pantheist, or panentheist, etc.... Some pagans worship Jesus, others want nothing to do with anything they regard as Christian or Abrahamic. The word "pagan", on its own, says literally nothing about what one believes. Some self-identified pagans just want to get naked in the woods, others prefer to practise in their Chicago Loop-area apartments. Some pagans truly love the earth and are staunch environmentalists, others can't be bothered to even sort out their recycling and may even boast a "black thumb" and really couldn't care less about environmental issues. The word "pagan", on its own, says literally nothing about one's position on environmental issues.
At best, all the word "pagan" describes is a social experience. That experience is one of being cast as the "other" for what one believes.
But hey, you're welcome to keep playing.

On the contrary, just as all Christians in some way identify with or or inspired by the figure of Christ, so all Pagans in some way identify or are inspired by those peoples who have been labeled "pagan" over the centuries. For both groups, their identity is formed around an archetypal figure, Christ or the pagan -- however those figures are conceived.
Monday, 03 June 2013
To Christianity, the Christ isn't an archetype. Even in Unitarian Christianity, Jesus is regarded as a prophet rather than a facet of a triune deity. To regard Jesus as an archetype is Jungian, not Christian.
And pray tell, what is this "pagan archetype" you speak of, cos I'll be damned if I can think of what that might be --the old woman mixing herbs in the woods, or the Roman soldier? The teenager obsessed with The Craft or the feminists dancing naked in the woods? If you say "they all are", then that's not an archetype, that's an individual's role model.
But hey, feel free to keep playing.

I'm not saying Jesus is an archetype to Christians (from an Eric perspective). I'm saying Jesus is *archetypal* to Christians. (Are you deliberately being obtuse?). From an etic perspective, the archetype of Jesus must be complex and include everything from the sensitive New Age Jesus to the apocalyptic Jesus of the red robe to the Dying God. Likewise the archetype of the Pagan would include everything from the Biblical Canaanites to the post-Christian persecuted Roman pagan to the Romantic poets. See here for the sense in which I am using "archetype": http://allergicpagan.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/blog-response-pagan-identities/

So I'm just supposed to ignore the first portion of your comment, cos in juxtaposition with the rest, it clearly means what I inferred from it, which is not what you wanted me to? Your use of language seems incredibly strange.
Furthermore, I've met and interacted with a great many self-identified pagans who care fuck all for the "pagan archetypes" you describe. They make neither an international attempt to model their lives on those descriptives, nor coincidentally and unintentionally just happen to. Yes they still make claim to the term "pagan" and frankly, there is no logical reason that they can't --if anything, they fit closer to the Latin pejorative use of "paganus" as essentially meaning "ignorant hillbilly" more than you or I ever could.
Tuesday, 04 June 2013
No, I can't do that, because after so many experiences the "outliers" become a significant minority.
...and suddenly, I feel like I have the tiniest inkling of what it must be like to try and convince people that, in spite of a Black US president, that racism is still an issue. It's really hard to convey these things to people who both lack the same experience and are also massively dedicated to their own blinders. If you don't want to see it, great, but don't try to convince me I've had different experiences than I have.· John Halstead likes this comment.

Wow! So not only am I ignorant, but I belong in the same group as racists.
No, I didn't say that.
No one was trying to invalidate your experience, but when your "experience" is that everyone else is an "ignorant hillbilly",...
And I never said that, either. But hey, if that's the way you want to twist it to make me out to be the big ol' FMPPH, you can have fun with that. I'm getting kind of bored of your attacks on a month-old post and repeated circular reasoning in a thinly veiled attempt to insult me.
I simply find it difficult to believe that the majority of self-described Pagans you have encountered "care f*ck all" about ancient pagans. That does not accord with my experience at all.
Actually, I never said a majority of the self-identified pagans I've interacted with have been that --but then, you seem to make a habit of only reading the parts you want to, and filling in the rest with your own wild imagination.
I also find it difficult to believe that people can have an entirely "secular paganism", and that apparently it's been around at least as long as I've been alive, but that doesn't mean others are wrong to say that such has been a sizeable minority, in their own experiences, when it's something I've personally only really had recent interaction with. My experience doesn't have to accord with yours, but that doesn't invalidate it at all. Experience is what it is.
Tuesday, 04 June 2013
Wow! So not only am I ignorant, but I belong in the same group as racists. Way to pile on the ad hominem attacks. I'm surprised to find this level of condescension and intolerance of other viewpoints in a fellow PaganSquare blogger.
No one was trying to invalidate your experience, but when your "experience" is that everyone else is an "ignorant hillbilly", then I think it's legitimate to call your interpretation of your experience into question. I simply find it difficult to believe that the majority of self-described Pagans you have encountered "care f*ck all" about ancient pagans. That does not accord with my experience at all.

Smoking equality
A study of tobacco smoking patterns reports that more men than women smoke in every country except Sweden. In some nations, the smoking disparity between the sexes is large. But smoking is on the rise among women in some countries, especially in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The biggest increases in smoking among women from 1980 to 2012 were in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Tunisia.
Globally, smoking rates declined over this period, dropping from 41 percent to 31 percent in men and from nearly 11 percent to 6 percent in women. But because of population growth, the total number of daily smokers increased from 721 million to 967 million.

Even as diabetes researchers worldwide strive for total control over-or even an outright cure of-type 1 diabetes via gene therapy, altered cells, or surgical intervention, other researchers continue to press toward creation of a functional "artificial pancreas."
The goal is a machine that, like a natural pancreas, adjusts a person's glucose levels subtly and seamlessly throughout the day, free of the need for constant manual adjustments and fears of over- or under-dosing.
The elements of an artificial pancreas are simple: You take a fail-safe insulin pump and connect it via a fail-safe communication method with a fail-safe continuous glucose monitor. When the CGM detects a too-high blood sugar level, it tells the pump to inject X mg of insulin, calculated by means of a fail-safe algorithm.
Aside from the technology, which has to be virtually perfect and isn't yet, a big drawback to the concept is that every person with diabetes has a different metabolism and a different threshold of insulin tolerance. Consequently, current CGM/insulin pump partnerships can't really "know" the exact dose a patient needs. Instead, the patient must tediously monitor readings throughout the day and manually adjust the pump dosages.
Progress is being made, however. Results of an experiment with five type 1s at the University of Virginia (with the results duplicated on three patients at the Padova University in Italy) hold out the promise that the artificial pancreas may be a big step closer to reality.
The University of Virginia scientists, led by Boris Kovatchev, an associate professor of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences and systems and information engineering, created a "smart program" based on an algorithm that allows for the differences in each patient's metabolism.
The resulting system, which links a very smart CGM to an insulin pump, provided "very encouraging results," said Kovatchev, who enjoys global renown for his ability to apply sophisticated computational methods to diabetes research. The system efficiently maintained each patient's blood glucose at optimum levels throughout the day and achieved excellent overnight control with no incidences of hypoglycemia.
The two universities are among seven sites worldwide where the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is funding research into advanced algorithms for controlling blood glucose levels that could lead to a workable artificial pancreas.

Students seeking financial assistance are responsible for filing timely, valid applications for the programs under which they may request aid. Enrollment in non-approved programs may jeopardize eligibility for certain student financial aid awards. Additional information regarding applications and student financial aid rights and responsibilities may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid. A request for review of financial aid awards should be made in writing to the Director of Financial Aid and be accompanied by a statement of an annual family monthly budget, as well as tax returns from the prior year.
According to financial aid regulations, students must make satisfactory progress toward a degree in order to remain eligible to receive financial aid. Satisfactory academic progress includes both a qualitative (grade point average) and quantitative (number of credit hours completed) measure of the student's progress. For financial aid purposes, a student must show that a degree program will be completed in six years or fewer, given full-time attendance. This means that a student must enroll for at least 12 semester hours per semester and successfully complete a minimum number of those hours. (see chart)
The Office of Financial Aid will assess the student's progress at the end of every semester for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and once a year (after spring semester) for all federal aid programs. However, while these are guidelines for "satisfactory academic progress" for financial aid purposes, meeting only the guideline will not ensure a student's graduation from Roberts Wesleyan in four, or even six, years.
Min. semesterhours mustbe completed
Minimumaccruedsemester hours
For New York State Tuition Assistance Program recipients, requirements specify that program pursuit must be determined independently for satisfactory academic progress. Satisfactory program pursuit is defined as receiving a passing or failing grade in a certain percentage of full-time course work in each semester for which an award is received. The percentage increases from 50 percent (6 semester hours) of the minimum full-time course work (12 semester hours) in each semester of study in the first year for which an award is received, to 75 percent (9 semester hours) of the minimum full-time course work in each semester of the second year for which an award is received, to 100 percent (12 semester hours) of the minimum full-time course work for each semester thereafter. (see chart)
Note: Students who repeat courses for which they have already received credit will not satisfy this requirement. They must carry additional semester hours for certification for TAP and other New York State programs.
For New York State TAP, a student must have at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average at the end of the sophomore (second year) of study. (see chart)
Financial aid may be taxable depending on current Internal Revenue Service Laws. Different rules apply for United States residents and non-residents. The student is responsible for payment of any taxes that may be due.
The IRS offers these two federal income tax credits (dollar-for dollar reductions in tax liability) for higher education expenses. For more information students can go to www.irs.gov or consult their tax advisor to determine if they qualify for one of these tax credits.

If the widest part of most of your ties is thicker than three inches, we're guessing your collection is dominated by inherited purchases from your father. While these provide great runways for small aircraft, they don't offer much in the way of contemporary style. Enter this slim knit square-bottom tie with a flash of contrasting color at its tip. It's the perfect first step toward modernizing and personalizing your collection.
I had flashbacks to high school when I saw this, but I really like it. The length is perfect, the material is great and it's a welcome change of pace from a closet full of Jerry Garcia or Grampa ties. It did get rather wrinkled when it fell to the bottom of my closet - but I think it will iron out OK. As soon as Birchbox sends me an iron to sample.
This was my present for my boyfriend for christmas, along with other things. This is cute, affordable, and very hip. I highly recommend.
I don't like wool ties at all. They arent my style and I wont wear this ever. I'd prefer to not receive any more wool ties.
I purchased this for my boyfriend as a gift - don't be scared by the knit tie! This is super flattering and looks very retro-modern! I recommend pairing it with a quirky tie clip.
It's a really great idea for a tie. The fabric is soft and that white tip is a nice feature. It definitely turns heads at a bar, a party or at work.
I worn this to formal charity events and Christmas parties as well as out clubbing in Vegas. It's great, adds a little something, and I've yet to not have a girl touch it and compliment me.
Highly recommend. Only downside is that the tie is very loosely knit and will stretch if you're not careful.
One of those things, I'd never have bought for myself but am glad that I have as an option on the tie rack. I've tried to work it into my formal business environment but it is a little too contemporary for the office. Only reason I give it a 4 is that for me it is more of a niche product that I can only use pretty sparingly.
Upon receiving it I was pleased to find out it looks just as well as it does online, as it does in person. Look forward to wearing this on my upcoming trip!
A wonderfully made and well versatile accessory. Great color options available, especially with Fall quickly approaching. A classic look with a square bottom, this tie can be used with so many different outfits. I currently have the navy tie and am looking forward to purchasing the plum and/or burgundy for fall.
I've used this tie on multiple occasions since it's release into the Box months ago. I've used it for red carpets, special evening events, Sunday brunch... any occasion. Since then I've gotten the burgundy and navy version and I couldn't be happier. . . . this has even led to wool knit bowties! A great item and when you find out it's worth more than the box it came in, you can't help be happy, right?

Well structured sketches and very good design!

Well structured sketches and very good design!
gearing up for the newborn competition... haven't drawn or painted in PS for quite some time, feel rusty.
so i did a couple speed paintings, kind of a warm up i guess. i've got some big ideas for this competition... anyway, check em out:
Why Have I never seen this SB before??!! fabulous works especially the last piece, Kudos!
Dirty Syndie,
These paintings are very striking! Very interesting character, subtleties galore... very nice!
Would you mind telling everyone HOW you did these? What kind of brushes did you use? Were they custom brushes?
Why, in whatever way did you go about producing this great work?
no custom brushes used, just a square brush.
i set the "shape dynamics" to pen pressure but had the minimum shape size set to 50% instead of 0, that way when i did a light stroke it still had some thickness instead of dropping down to a single pixel
i also had "other dynamics" checked with the opacity set to pen pressure
first step i took was to invert my page so i started with a totally black room.
then i just painted in the light with white:
started with a mid gray (by this i dont mean i selected the color gray in the colors pallete, i mean that i painted LIGHTLY with white) to get the basic shape, then build up the forms with more and more white, but always working black back in to help blend and define the forms.
and then i just added shit that popped into mind while i was painting. a friend of mine said the character kind of looked like frankenstein so i went with it, drew in the table and the second character.
i think what helped me to do these was to just relax and jump in head first, trust my instincts, adjust things that look funny on the fly. if i didn't like something i blacked it out and re-did it.
after i did the painting i added a bit of dirt, some color overlays, a curves adjustment layer, bumped up the contrast with a levels adjustment layer (blacks blacker and whites whiter)
but i just made sure to NOT get attached to anything.
my biggest problem has always been "but that part looks great, i dont want to fuck that up" then i tip toe around it and try to make the entire piece look as good as that ONE tiny little part, like a shoulder.
on these i forced myself to just not care! to black it out if i start feeling attached to it, and a few times when i blacked out something i realized that was more accurate for the lighting anyway.
i used to try and paint my more detailed drawings but would have the same problem. id spend all this time doing the drawing adding details, then i didn't want to cover it up with cool lighting or color! so for these i did no sketch! just went at it with a big fat square brush.
i think i have the tendency to over think things sometimes.
and procrastinate.
so i'll come up with a great idea, "i can take some reference photos for this" and then i'll go take photos... but in the end i never end up painting.
my goal in doing these was to get past that. just jump in and whatever happens happens.
thought i'd start in reverse from what i did before on this speed painting: start with white and paint in the shadows.
just more practice. i feel like im getting the hang of it finally
oh, and of course this one is un-treated.
Not bad! Your work seems very conceptual lately, maybe you should try some studies.
just thought i'd post my Newborn entry here too... for my process visit my contest thread:
this is my entry:
speed painting with reference
here's the ref image:
Nice work dirt! your website is also amazing.. the sketches section blew me away! awesome every way you see it... keep it up man.
rough but not yet defined , i feel that you need to throw more work into it
great job on those last few
hey man, nice sketchbook, you've been around here for quite some time, you have some very intersting pieces and photo's aswell.. Well, i want to give some pointers to help you improve in your drawing..
in the last post, you've got your lines down pretty good, but i dont think you have your values down.. just ask yourself, what is the lightest light in the photo and what is the darkest darks in your photo.. and then what are all the value's in between.. So a good method is assigning numbers to all the values, say 1 is your lightest value and 10 your darkest, you can compare all the values and really get it down. When i now look at your drawing, you have alot of number 1 value area's (lighest light) while in the photo there isnt. i have to say that the picture is pretty difficult to work from because there isnt alot of contrast that describe form... so if you would do these valuestudies, make sure you get good photos. its still very difficult but maybe this method will help you not get lost in the complexity of a photo :P
i dont say im very good at this, but lately i've been rediscovering value, just by looking at things in real life....
well i hope it helps some.. cheers and good luck!
teh goshu, thanks for the crit man! im gonna have to practice that.
quick update: i had never read hard boiled until tonight. darrow is fucking amazing...
anyway, it inspired me to sketch so i did this quickie afterwards:
Very cool sketchbook, keep it up!
all the best,
hey man, thanks, i truly appreciate it.
i'll be taking next month off completely just to work on my comic. im still in the writing stages but i'll be sketching on the side. probably random shit for now until i finish writing...
anyway, thanks
btw, teh gosu
i re-read my post earlier and i dont want you to think i was just dashing off a thankyou!
i really mean that, i take all the crits im given and put them to use. trust me, when i say im going to practice something i do it. so thanks again! i know im not the best painter, i need all the help i can get.
my girlfriend and i have started taking this abstract painting class for fun.
i've done 3 paintings. i love this shit, i spend so much time on the computer lately... it feels great to actually touch PAINT!
Those paintings are sick. Keep taking those classes and posting your stuff man. Have a good one.
hey, thanks man. im not sure if i can afford to continue going... maybe one more class. but yeah, its a lot of fun.
for me its just a reason to be surrounded by a bunch of other people who want to make a mess with paint, a reason to be in that artistic environment. at home i dont have a place where i can make a mess!
in a way it kind of sucks that i have to pay 75 bucks to be surrounded by other people who want to make art. but fuck it, its worth it. if you cant get it naturally (i've been trying to set up a drawing group for the past 2 years and have no takers), pay for it.
more to come.
love the skull :)
this was my chow 176 entry that was 44min late:
This is nice. For some reason I really like the flat image. Don't know quite why though. Finished looks better overall.
this is my chow 177 entry
pick a season, design a character to represent that season.
i chose winter because i was born in winter, and being a sag i chose the obvious: a centaur. im also part pawnee indian, so i added war paint.
crits appreciated:
Other than cleaning up the lines in the horse's body and adding a shadow, there's really not much to crit. If you want to leave it like this, it's ballin'. If you decide to take it into PS later on and render it further, that'd be ballin'. See if setting it in a more active/dynamic scene helps as well. Looks like you could use this for a holiday poastcard (which isn't bad).
Good stuff man, can't wait for the next update.
beauty style and the grace of a fellow Sag!!!!!!! Woop!
thanks stark/kelly
i went to "the drink and draw social club" last night for the first time, had a good time. the gallery girls showed up to model for us.
here are my sketches:
I really enjoy your work, and the graphic designs are appealing :D looking forward to more!
a drawing group would be awesome, i really need to see if there are any around here that could kick my ass.
LOVE your work man! So incredibly awesome - all of it! :-D
thanks for the comments guys
i didn't think i'd have the time to participate in this latest chow, but i had a few hours to kill yesterday and went for it.
here's my version of frankenstein's monster:
Holy crap! Me = /fanboy
This is some amazing work. May I ask what medium you used to draw the Chow sketches? The lines look very precise, are they on a large paper?

After reading a recent article about the effects quinoa exporting has had on the price Bolivian people have to pay for their staple table grain, I was encouraged to diversify my pantry with alternative whole grains.
I've always adored the bulk sections at grocery stores - albeit as a child it was the bulk candy aisles - today, my local San Francisco co-op, Rainbow Grocery, has the best bulk selections around.
Buying bulk has wonderful benefits:
- Purchase precise quantities for recipes, large quantities for storage, or small quantities for sampling
- Offers variety
- Fresh. Less time on the shelves and no added preservatives
- Cost effective
- Less packaging
I stocked up on the following gluten-free grains:
- Rice: Brown, Basmati and Arborio
- Millet
- Amaranth
- Buckwheat
- Kasha
Hearty, comforting and honestly just as easy to cook as pasta, these grains lend themselves to sweet or savory breakfast, lunch or dinner sides or mains. Welcoming to your body's digestive system and extra satisfying when the table's mundane bread and white rice are starving for a little diversity.
For reference, the following whole grains are not gluten free:
- Wheat
- Oats (gluten free are available)
- Barley
- Bulgur
- Rye
- Spelt
- Kamut

2k toys, bikes given away at Jarel's Toy Chest
16th annual event draws hundreds of families
Hundreds of families lined up as early as 6 a.m. Saturday to get their hands on one of the 2,000 toys and bikes that were given away at the 16th annual Jarel's Toy Chest.
The giveaway gives less fortunate families an opportunity to give their children some semblance of a Christmas.
"This is what we do to give back to our community and to all of the children that are in need," said Portia Brooks Vaughn, co-pastor at the New Life Christian Center. The church's congregation organizes the event, which has become one of, if not the biggest, holiday toy giveaways in San Antonio.
"It went from 200 children to 500 to 1,000," said volunteer LaSalle Vaughn. "Now we have about 3000 families that come as early as 4:30 in the morning and stand in line for a program that starts at 2 p.m. to receive a toy."
Some families came from as far as Laredo and Del Rio Saturday, and the children that were patient enough to wait got more than a cheap toy.
"They come from everywhere because they've heard that we give wonderful toys," Portia Vaughn said. "This is not something where we just go and spend one or two dollars, we give them a wonderful thing that they can open up and really think that someone really cares about them."

Sound delay when playback starts on Apple TV 3
I wirelessly stream a lot of TV episodes and movies from my iTunes library to my new Apple TV. All of what I stream is 720p m4v files.
There is no problem at all with playing the files over our wireless network, and there is never any buffering or stuttering or anything.
However, there is always a slight delay on the audio starting up when a file is played. The picture and sound are in synch, but the audio cuts in a little late. For example, when watching a TV episode that begins with a "Previously on..." voiceover, it will actually go "...isly on...".
I can fix it by immediately hitting pause and waiting for the file to preload a little bit, but it seems awkward.
Any ideas? It's the only flaw in an otherwise perfect system.
|Dec 4, 2012, 05:04 AM
Not really, although you could try using a different channel on your router. I use the 5GHZ band and find it's better than 2.4, my bedroom ATV is wifi and works perfectly without any delay.
Wifi is via my Time Capsule, channel is 40, 5GHZ network. Not all routers support it though, so you'd need to check yours.

MOUNT PLEASANT - Central Michigan's bats appear to be heating up at the right time.
The Chippewas (19-22, 8-10 MAC) pounded out double-digit hits for the second-straight day and senior Jordan Adams finished 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and five RBI in clinching the series over rival Eastern Michigan, 11-9.
Adams' three-run blast in the third inning capped a four-run frame in which the Chippewas turned a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 lead. Senior Tom Lally and freshman Dylan Goodwin led off the inning with back-to-back bunt singles, but Goodwin was forced out at second on a bunt attempt by freshman Logan Regnier, putting runners on the corners with one out.
Sophomore Pat MacKenzie then evened the game at a run apiece when he doubled to right field to score Lally. Adams came to the plate two batters later and just squeezed his fifth home run of the season inside the foul pole down the left field line to put CMU ahead, 4-3.
The Maroon and Gold had fell behind in the top of the first on an error that sparked a three-run frame by the Eagles (20-20, 9-9 MAC), but senior Rick Dodridge settled in and kept the Eagles off the board again until the top of the fifth.
A pair of singles off the bats of Sam Ott and Lee Longo got things started for Eastern in the fifth and a sacrifice bunt moved both runners up. Ott was able to score and even the game on a passed ball and a sacrice fly by Jamie Simpson plated Longo to put EMU back in front, 5-4.
CMU quickly responded though and put Dodridge back in line for the win, scoring three runs in the bottom of the frame.
A Logan Regnier single and stolen base put the tying run in scoring position before back-to-back walks to MacKenzie and Nick Regnier loaded the bases. Adams then came up in the clutch yet again, bouncing a hard hit ball over the head of Simpson at third base to score a pair of runs and put CMU back in front, 6-5.
Sophomore Cody Leichman was intentionally walked to load the bases later in the inning and freshman Morgan Oliver delivered a sacrifice fly to left field to extend the lead to 7-5.
A double down the left field line by the elder Regnier scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh and despite a strikeout of Adams later in the inning, an errant throw down to first on the play allowed Regnier to come across.
Redshirt freshman Neal Jacobs tripled down the right field line and scored what proved to be a very important run on a single by Leichman later in the frame, putting CMU in front, 11-9.
Sophomore Dylan Rheault came on in relief of Dodridge in the sixth and breezed through three innings of work before the Chippewas faced a bit of a scare in the ninth.
The Eagles sent 10 men to the plate and scored four runs in the inning and had the bases the bases loaded when sophomore Matt Trowbridge got John Rubino looking to end the game.
Dodridge earned the win to improve to 2-4 on the season while Paul Schaak suffered the loss for the Eagles to even his record at 3-3.
Lally finished the day with a pair of hits in his second-straight start at the hot corner, while MacKenzie scored three runs.
The Chippewas are back in action Tuesday afternoon when they host Notre Dame at Theunissen Stadium. First pitch is set for 4:05.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Eric Russell firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
A convicted rapist who confessed last week to killing his former roommate, another sex offender, and then killed himself was under investigation because of an allegation that he sexually assaulted a young girl late last year.
Bruce King
Lawrence Lewis
Bruce King, 59, also known as Bruce Neal, was scheduled to meet with a detective on March 11 to discuss the allegation. That day, he killed himself in a U-Haul truck that police pulled over on Interstate 95 near Lincoln.
Maine State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland said Thursday that King was first interviewed by police in January about the sexual assault allegation. He told investigators that it was his former roommate, Lawrence Lewis, 68, who assaulted the girl. The allegation was never substantiated.
Lewis's body was found in his run-down home on Route 2 in Molunkus Township around the time King killed himself on the interstate after a four-hour standoff with police.
Before he took his own life, King told Penobscot County Sheriff's Deputy Patty McLaughlin that he had killed Lewis by forcing him to overdose on prescription medication, according to a police affidavit.
Medical examiners did an autopsy on Lewis last week but did not release the cause of his death because tests are still being done.
McCausland said last week, when the investigation into the men's deaths began, that the case would be drawn-out and complicated. Affidavits filed this week in Lincoln and Houlton district courts, coupled with new information from police, explain more about the bizarre series of events.
McCausland said police have been looking into other claims about King and Lewis. If any of those claims are substantiated, he said, the case could be further complicated. He would not elaborate on what those claims are.
The incident on March 11 started when police stopped a southbound U-Haul truck driven by a woman on I-95. Lynda Fogg, 43, of Mattawakeag – also known as Lynda Dube and Lynda Gordon – got out of the truck and told police that King, who was in the passenger seat, had been holding a gun on her.
An affidavit says Deputy McLaughlin talked to King by cellphone. During that conversation, King said he had killed Lewis, his former roommate, because Lewis was molesting children and nobody was doing anything about it.
The affidavit says a man identified as Mark Vieria told police that King told him he had found pictures and videos of Lewis engaged in sex acts with children. The affidavit does not say how Vieria knew King. McCausland said he doesn't know what their relationship was.
Lewis was convicted in 1992 of raping a 9-year-old boy. He served several years in prison but had not been suspected in any sex crimes since then, McCausland said. He said police have not found evidence supporting Vieira's account.
Among the items that police found in searches of Lewis's home and the U-Haul truck was a laptop computer, in the truck. The affidavit does not indicate whose computer it was, but McCausland said investigators will search it to determine whether it contains any evidence of sexual abuse.
King was convicted of rape and is listed as a registered sex offender in Massachusetts. Maine State Police did not have information about King's crime, but the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board's website lists a Bruce King who was convicted of rape in Salem, Mass., in 1985.

What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
apology to DoubeRBar -- I mistakenly did not address you in my post a few minutes ago about Lewis Jones and Sierra HS. Please continue the discussion. I have about forty years of pent up recollections, stories about CIF SS track of the late 1950s and 1960s and, later, UC Berkeley track and cross country of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Coupla yrs ago Carl Trentadue was trying to locate Dennis in hopes of seeing him at ss/cal RR reunion I think /not sure ... But believe he located in Midwest they were' of course, teammates at USC. I'll have to ask Carl (Jesse) if that's correct
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Read these latest responses to my original post re: Dennis Carr. I hope someone will be able to report an update on Dennis.
I think he was a great talent who never reached his potential...like most of us! At USC he did some good racing in the 800m, but I wish he would have concentrated on the 1500m/mile and kept competing for a few years. He never ran a sub 4 mile, but had the talent IMHO to run in the low 3:50's.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Dennis Carr, where are you??
I agree regarding T&F in So Cal in the '60s. Magical times.
(Palos Verdes '65-''67)
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
I think everybody looks back on their HS days as magical times (relatively speaking). Tis the nature of the beast.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?

Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
p.s. - all of those marks were up to '67
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Most of those marks were through '67.
Rey Brown's 7-3 was at the Oly Trials in mid-September '68.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
right - most. side note - Compton had another 6' 11 3/4 guy and a 6' 6 3/4"or 8 same yr as Reynaldo Sr yr. ... if memory serves
lots of guys @ 1:51.x, 9:10y,
50s in CIF-SS wasn't too shabby either
of course (per Hill) you add that to the adolescent hormones /adrenaline and bibbidi bobbodi boo ... magic
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
GH-- maybe true, but not every high school kid--then or now-- could go to a "local" track meet and watch and collect autographs from Jim Ryun and Ron Clarke. Or go to a summer all-commers meet and watch Bob Seagren run an 880.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
my point is that viewed from the point of living through it at the time, if you were in Nome and somebody ran 10.4 for 100y (first Alaskan ever to break 10.5!) in 1965, your memories of the era would be just as warm and fuzzy as somebody from SoCal in the same year.
Viewed from a statistical point of view decades later, nothing can touch SoCal, of course, but that wasn't my point.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Yeah, CIF-SS had a ton of great athletes back in the '60's and I competed against a lot of them including several future Olympians. But the only one who really left me in awe was Bobby Bonds... he was a freaking 18 year old superman.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Bobby's sister made the U.S. Olympic team in 1964. She was 8th in the 80 meter hurdles. I believe Bobby, if he had concentrated on track and field, could have been a world class long jumper. He was close to it in high school. He and Cordner Nelson went to the same high school.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Found Dennis Carr on Facebook.
Not much info . . . says he retired in '09 and enjoys poker, bowling, and fishing. A photo shows him in USC singlet with a baton.
I sent him a message informing him of this message board and asked if he would post.
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
GH - point taken, Nothing quite like HS
ancillary pt of view re: Dennis Carr - when he was 'on' his kick was something to behold
plus he has had a younger brother who ran about 4:03
Re: What ever happened to Dennis Carr?
Thanks...hope he responds.

For T2DM, the Quality of Guidelines on Oral Meds Varies DramaticallyPosted: Saturday, January 07, 2012
According to the results of a systematic review, not all practice guidelines on oral medications for type 2 diabetes are consistent with available evidence, and guideline quality varies widely.
Since 1995, there have been 11 classes of medications introduced to treat patients with T2DM. The goals of this review were to determine whether guidelines on oral medications for T2DM are consistent with evidence from a peer-reviewed systematic review published in 2007, and whether guideline consistency is associated with the quality of guideline development.
The reviewers searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, and guideline-specific databases between July 2007 and August 2011, reflecting the time post publication of the 2007 peer-reviewed systematic review on oral diabetes medications. Inclusion criteria, assessed independently by 2 reviewers, were English-language guidelines on oral medications to treat T2DM that were implemented in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada.
The reviewers determined whether the selected guidelines concurred with 7 evidence-based conclusions from the 2007 systematic review. Using 2 domains (rigor of development and editorial independence) from the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE) tool, 2 reviewers independently evaluated guideline quality based on 7 key elements of systematic review and reporting.
Although the search retrieved 1000 citations, screening identified only 11 guidelines meeting the inclusion criteria. Of these, 7 guidelines agreed that metformin is the preferred first-line agent, and 10 guidelines agreed that thiazolidinediones compared with other oral medications are linked to increased rates of edema and congestive heart failure.
One of the 11 guidelines addressed no evidence-based conclusions, and at the other extreme, 5 guidelines agreed with all 7 evidence-based conclusions. According to AGREE criteria, the overall quality of all of the guidelines was poor, particularly in use of systematic methods to identify evidence. Furthermore, most guidelines were susceptible to bias.
The guidelines varied greatly in domain summary scores for the rigor of development (median, 28.6%; range, 16.7% - 100.0%) and editorial independence (median, 75.0%; range, 8.3% - 100.0%). Higher-quality scores were associated with a greater number of recommendations consistent with the evidence-based conclusions.
Limitations of this systematic review include that it included only English-language guidelines addressing clinicians in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, and that it included only recommendations regarding oral medications.
"Not all practice guidelines on oral treatment of type 2 diabetes were consistent with available evidence from a systematic review," the study authors write. "Guidelines judged to be of higher quality contained more recommendations consistent with evidence-based conclusions. The quality of guideline development processes varied substantially."
Following the new IOM definition of a guideline and guideline development standards should help to improve guideline quality, according to the authors.

The Virginia Department of Health says a resident of the Charlottesville region has died after contracting the H1N1 virus.
The agency said Wednesday that the cause of the man's death hasn't been confirmed, but the flu virus appears to have been a factor.
The patient had an underlying health condition that put him at greater risk of complications from the novel influenza A, which some have dubbed "swine flu."
No other details were released.
Dr. Lilian Peake, from the Virginia Department of Health, says most people infected with swine flu are between the ages of five and 24. She says pregnant women, children ages four and younger and people with chronic medical conditions are at risk.
Peake also says people should try to get both the seasonal and swine flu shot this fall.
