Susie replies:
Is it possible for a girl to orgasm from penetration when she previously only orgasmed through clitoral stimulation? Meaning, my girlfriend tells me she orgasms after we have sex through penetration, but rubbing her clit only distracts her from orgasming through penetration. Is this at all possible?
The ways people can get sexual stimulation and pleasure run a pretty wide gamut. If your girl says this is what works for her, she'd know way better than the rest of us ever could, so go with that.
The clitoris is the only human organ whose sole function is sexual pleasure. So the brunt of sexual stimulation happens here. Penetration and direct contact are different ways to stimulate the clitoris. Penetration can stimulate other structures like the G-spot, too, which makes for an overall sensation different from direct clitoral stimulation.
The clitoris can be stimulated in different ways, too. This is why cunnilingus (oral sex on a female) does not feel the same as manual sex on her.
The fun is in finding all the different ways to stimulate, and do the ones that work the best (following her suggestions is always a good idea -- communication is key!)

- Fiscal cliff: House Republicans put off vote on "Plan B"
WASHINGTON — In a test of divided government, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner sought an elusive compromise Tuesday to prevent economy-damaging year-end tax increases for the middle class, speaking by phone after a secretive exchange of proposals.
Details were sparse and evidence of significant progress scarcer still, although officials said Obama had offered to reduce his demand for $1.6 trillion in higher tax revenue over a decade to $1.4 trillion.
There was no indication he was relenting on his insistence — strongly opposed by most Republicans — that tax rates rise at upper incomes.
Boehner sounded unimpressed in remarks on the House floor at midday, well before he and the president talked by phone about attempts to avert the "fiscal cliff," across-the-board tax increases and cuts in defense and domestic programs that threaten to send the economy into recession.
"The longer the White House slow-walks this process, the closer our economy gets to the fiscal cliff," Boehner said, declaring that Obama had yet to identify specific cuts to government benefit programs that the president would support as part of an agreement that also would raise federal tax revenue.
In rebuttal, the White House swiftly detailed numerous proposals Obama has made to cut spending, including recommendations to cull $340 million from Medicare over a decade and an additional $250 billion from other government benefit programs.
The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, challenged Boehner to allow a vote on the president's proposal to extend most expiring tax cuts while letting them lapse at higher incomes.
She predicted it would gain "overwhelming approval," even in the GOP-controlled House.
Two weeks before the year-end holidays, time to find agreement was short, but not prohibitively so.
"I think it's going to be extremely difficult to get it done before Christmas, but it could be done," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Boehner's office took the step — unusual in secretive talks — of announcing that Republicans "sent the White House a counteroffer that would achieve tax and entitlement reform to solve our looming debt crisis and create more American jobs."
Both sides say they want a deal to prevent damage to the economy, but that stated commitment has been accompanied by a fierce battle to gain the political high ground in negotiations — and the occasional comment that one side or the other would be willing to let the deadline pass without a deal unless it got acceptable terms.
Republicans acknowledge that Obama has an advantage in one respect, citing his re-election last month after a race in which he made higher taxes on the wealthy a centerpiece of his campaign.
At the same time, Republicans hold powerful leverage of their own, the certainty that by spring the president will be forced to ask Congress to raise the government's borrowing authority. It was just such a threat that previously allowed them to extract $1 trillion in spending cuts from the White House and Democratic lawmakers, a situation that Obama has vowed he won't let happen again.
Democrats have watched with satisfaction in recent days as Republicans struggle with Obama's demands to raise taxes, but Reid has privately told his rank and file they could soon be feeling the same distress if discussions grow serious on cuts to benefit programs.
Coincidentally, in an ABC interview, Obama did not reject a Republican call to raise the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67, a proposal that many Democrats oppose.
The proposal is "something that's been floated," Obama said, not mentioning that he had tacitly agreed to it in deficit-reduction talks with Boehner more than a year ago that ended in failure.
"When you look at the evidence, it's not clear that it actually saves a lot of money," he said. "But what I've said is: Let's look at every avenue, because what is true is we need to strengthen Social Security, we need to strengthen Medicare for future generations. The current path is not sustainable because we've got an aging population and health care costs are shooting up so quickly."
In his noontime remarks on the House floor, Boehner said, "Let's be honest. We're broke. The plan we offered is consistent with the president's call for a balanced approach."
"We're still waiting for the White House (to do the same)," added the Ohio Republican.
The two sides had presented rival initial offers in the cliff negotiations.
Obama's plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, in part by raising tax rates on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. He has recommended $400 billion in spending cuts over a decade.
Boehner's plan, in addition to calling for $800 billion in new revenue, envisions $600 billion in savings over a decade from Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs as well as $300 billion from other benefit programs and another $300 billion from other domestic programs.

- "...no, Sonny... I don't have the money."
- — Tommy Vercetti
An Old Friend is the only storyline mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Forelli Family Don Sonny Forelli from the Ocean View Hotel, located along Ocean Drive in Ocean Beach, Vice City.
Tommy enters the Ocean View Hotel and goes to his room there. After entering his room, he phones his boss Sonny, a high ranking member of the Forelli Family. Sonny wants to know how the drug deal involving Tommy and the Vance Crime Family went. Tommy informs him that the deal was ambushed and that both Harry and Lee, who had accompanied him, are dead. Sonny asks if he at least still has the money, which Tommy does not. An irate Sonny reminds Tommy that he is "not a man to be screwed with" and that Tommy will have to get his money back. Tommy reassures Sonny that he will get him his money and his drugs back. The phone conversation ends, with Tommy angrily throwing the phone on the floor.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the car
- Drive to the Ocean View Hotel
- Enter the building
- Go to the stairway
The song that can be heard playing in the background during the phone conversation cutscene is "Life's What You Make It" by Talk Talk. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station Flash FM.

My spouse and I are going for 3-weeks vacation on the southern island of New Zealand. We intend to go for one multi-day trek (the Kepler Track), and a few more day treks.
Do we need water-resistant (e.g. Goretex) shoes for the trip?

migrated from travel.stackexchange.com Dec 22 '12 at 13:00
This question came from our site for road warriors and seasoned travelers.
I am a big fan of the low ankle water resistant Salomon fell-running shoes.
The Gore-Tex allows moisture and sweat to escape rapidly, and when worn with wicking socks they actually work well to keep your feet dry and sweat-free.
I do most of my hiking in Scotland, which is on a par with New Zealand for precipitation - I would definitely recommend water resistant fell runners, along with multiple pairs of socks. You will be much more comfortable, will have less chafing and blisters and generally be much more comfortable.
IMHO, you should get some waterproof shoes/boots for a multi-day trek on this specific trip. I'm inclined to give more weight to the Scottish respondent since I think their typical weather is likely similar to what you will experience in NZ. Lightweight, breathable shoes are great in warm weather with low humidity and little precipitation, but they are miserable if you don't have a chance to dry them out (i.e. if the air is cold and/or moist). I did an 8-day hike in southern Chile with my trail-runners and after the second day had developed blisters on both feet (this was with intermittent rain and several stream crossings each day, with moist air in the mid-50's), my buddy in waterproof boots was fine for the whole trip.
If it's only a comfort issue for you, and your trek is only a few days, then I'm not sure that it matters one way or the other. If this is a 9 day trek with lots of elevation/climate change, I think you should really consider getting waterproof boots, and maybe getting some conservatively styled models to maximize their utility (disco, anyone?)
When hiking for multiple days you will likely encounter scenarios that you will get wet feet regardless of the footwear you are using. My experience with Goretex footwear is the same as most fellow hikers I know: Goretex footwear can delay your feet getting wet but it cannot prevent it altogether. The important question is: What is your strategy once your footwear is wet?
Having your feet wet for extended periods of time can become a serious problem on the trail. In my experience, Goretex shoes do not help in avoiding those situations. The drying time of Goretex footwear is usually higher then quick dry shoes. Because of their long drying time quick drying shoes are often preferred for long treks.
In the past I have accelerated the drying of my Goretex footwear by using pack towels to accelerate the drying process once it stops raining for example. If I`m lucky enough to hit a town then stuffing news paper in the shoe works wonders. Rotating a few pair of socks also helps a lot.
I would not recommend buying Goretex shoes or water resistant shoes for your trip. They tend to be more false-hype then usefulness.
Think about whether it really matters if your feet stay dry. Will this be in warm enough weather when trenchfoot and frostbite are not problems? If so, the simplest answer may be to let the feet get wet. Wet or damp feet by themselves is not really a problem.
I do most of my hiking in New England where it can rain any time on short notice, and soggy ground and stream crossings are common. I realized a long time ago that it is simpler, less stressful, and actually more comfortable in the long run to simply accept the fact that water is going to get into the shoes at some point during a hike in warm weather. It is simpler because ordinary running shoes are fine. Less stressfull because you stop worrying about tip-toeing around puddles and how to get accross streams without getting wet. It is more comfotable in the long run because the smaller and lighter shoes outweighs the feeling of wet feet that some may find bothersome. The latter is simply a mindset issue, so is something under your own control.
If you have shoes that let water in, they will also let water out readily. If your feet can breath, then wetness by itself is really not a problem - again assuming warm conditions. If you are going on a longer hike, bring some extra socks and change them frequently. You can have a couple of pairs of socks drying while you are wearing a third, for example.
I avoid water-resistant shoes for hiking since they trap moisture (your sweat) in as well as out. Kinda depends on hiking style, too - if you're ultralighting then you'd probably want trail-running shoes that breath and dry quickly as you walk. See Ray J.'s advice. They're light enough that people often carry a second pair.
Another factor is weather - a bit of rain is no big deal, but if you're tramping through snow, then I'd think you'd want some water-resistant regardless of your style.
I personally wear Chaco RedRock shoes. They're heavier than running shoes (about 16oz each), but they hold up well and have the high arches I need. Unfortunately, they take too long to dry, but it's usually not a huge deal.
If you're conventional heavy-pack you'll probably want ankle support, which means boots.
Whatever you get, do some trail walking in them before you go. Boots need break-in, and hiking in shoes means you want to strengthen your ankles before you go. Good arch support that matches your foot will help avoid ankle sprains.

The Asolo and Sarasota and a mystery play
Sleuth will always be the epitome of the mystery play for me.
The first time I saw Sleuth on Broadway – which was also my first Broadway play during my first trip to New York City – it spoke to me as mystery fiction had.
Anthony Shaffer's play about a successful British mystery writer who sets up elaborate games and deceptions for his wife's lover is just so perfectly written. Sleuth is not just a mystery play laden with clues. It's also a look at classism and snobbery.
(By the way, the original movie with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier is good; the remake with Michael Caine and Jude Law is not.)
So my standards for a mystery play are pretty high.
I loved the musical Curtains that was on Broadway a few years ago. I have no idea how Agatha Christie's boring The Mousetrap continues to play in London.
So I was a bit skeptic, to say the least, when I attended a recent performance of Jeffrey Hatcher's Murderers, currently at the Asolo Reperatory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. Murderers runs through May 23.
I left pleasantly surprised.
While I don't think Murderers alone is worth the cross state trip to Sarasota from South Florida, there are other theatrical events to entice you.
Like other plays at the Asolo or the inventive Florida Studio Theatre. Plus, Sarasota is just a lovely place to visit and a wonderful get away. I was in Sarasota for the American Theatre Critics Association's annual conference.
Hatcher's (Tuesdays With Morrie) Murderers is a sly trilogy about three people who are the last people you'd expect to turn out to be killers. But that's just what happens.
Mistaken identity, long simmering jealousies and a sense of outrage spur the three characters who live in a fictitious Sarasota retirement community that seems oddly like those in South Florida, North Carolina or just about anywhere.
The three "murderers" are a 50something man who marries his girlfriend's mother so the younger couple can avoid estate tax; a woman whose husband's old love moves into their retirement community; and a manager at the retirement community who hates the way some of the residents are treated.
The monologues are witty and may remind some of those novels written by Dorothy Cannel, Donna Andrews, Elaine Viets or Jeffrey Cohen write.
Murderers is not Sleuth. But it makes for pleasant theater with a mystery theme.

hi folks,
i'm not sure what we were thinking (perhaps a better question would be were we thinking at all), but we decided to travel this thanksgiving holiday weekend.
we were pleasantly surprised that we were able to move quickly through the security like at reagan national airport near washington, dc. we had checked in at home, and had arrived at the airport about an hour and a half before the departure time. so it worked out well that we had about an hour at the gate before departure time. we had a snack and i took some time to get a few pictures.
i'd like to share some of those pictures with you today.
i'll continue to share pictures from this trip in this thread.

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (First Third Books this November), which took nearly a year's time to compile and edit, is the first artist monograph for the multi-disciplinary legend and icon and spans half a century of history, personal archives and artworks. This 323 page book, with an introduction by Mark Paytress and photo commentary by Breyer P-Orridge, has over 350 images ranging from iconic photographs and artworks taken from early COUM Transmissions' infamous 1976 Prostitution exhibit at the ICA in London, to as-of-yet unpublished promotional imagery of Throbbing Gristle and early Psychic TV band shots, to the Pandrogyne project with Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge, and the most recent imagery from the current retrospective at The Andy Warhol Museum, up through September 15. I sat down with the artist and collaborator Leigha Mason to discuss the efforted editing of the collection of memories.
Daniel McKernan: So whose idea was it to do this book?
Leigha Mason: Fabrice Couillerot's idea. He had done the book for Felt. He had made a Felt book and made a Serge Gainsbourg book, and he had approached Gen with doing a book. S/he said s/he wanted me as editor. So he came to New York and we met and we got along really well and we just spent days―it was when I had 1:1 [the now defunct Lower East Side gallery]―and we spent days putting out photos all over the gallery floor and moving them around...
Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: As you can imagine, there were thousands of photos and bits… There were just hundreds of pictures from Nepal. And then photos in Haiti from our honeymoon, and it just goes on and on...
DM: Are these the archives that Ryan Martin and Jason Louv helped you organize?
GBPO: Yes, I mean, they helped catalog the archives that went to the Tate, but these are all—
LM: This is different―this is like, pulling out shoeboxes from Gen's closet.
GBPO: My personal archives. Basically, really allowing people into the deepest intimate aspect of our life. That's why in the deluxe edition there's a brown envelope rubber stamped with a warning saying that if you open it, some of the photographs are very intimate and may be offensive to you, so you open it at your own risk. And that's where the sexy Polaroids are.
LM: Yeah, so it was Fabrice's idea to do the book, and then we developed the structure and the kind of conceptual underpinnings of the book together.
GBPO: It's impossible to do everything. That's why it's so good that we've got Leigha, because for me, every picture tells a really emotional story. So we want them all in. We want to put out a book that's 20,000 pages long!
LM: The first edit was about 800 to 900 pages.
GBPO: Oh, it's been such a struggle.
DM: How did you two meet? Did you work together before Leigha's Spit Banquet performance/video piece that was in the recent Pasolini themed exhibit, "I Killed My Father, I Ate Human Flesh, I Quiver With Joy: An Obsession With Pier Paolo Pasolini," curated by Invisible Exports, at the Allegra LaViola Gallery in February and March of 2013?
GBPO: Leigha's friend Matt was doing most of the gold-leafing for our works. One day he asked Leigha to come over and help to do a straight line because no one else could paint a straight line. Leigha and Matt were also doing performances together, and we invited them to perform at the closing event of the "Thirty Years Of Being Cut Up" exhibition at Invisible Exports.
LM: That was long before Spit Banquet. We just become good friends.
GBPO: It's really good for me to have another artist to bounce ideas on, like I did with Jaye. If we're just alone all the time, we're always afraid of getting into tunnel vision, and as you know, we hate the idea of habits and we like to keep breaking behavioral traits or even perception traits. So having someone to go, What do you think? and then responding, Well yeah, but you've done that before―what if you did it this way? or, No, that photo doesn't need to be there because you've already got that information here... So that is part of how we work. She's my muse and we bounce things around together. And she's incredibly dedicated and smart. The Warhol Museum wanted to include Spit Banquet in the short films evening we're doing there. It's also that thing we've talked about before where instead of competing it should be about supporting each other―reciprocal advice, reciprocal assistance. Not be the biggest name on the marquee but just to get stuff done that is interesting or that's challenging. That makes people stop and even laugh, for God's sake. There's a lot of dark humor in what we do―look at It's That Time of the Month sculpture—it's just an art deco clock with tampons in it. It's a joke, and they say we were threatening the government in Britain. Now, how dangerous is that? And yet it was discussed in Parliament and they threatened to take away my passport. So, there are weak spots in the culture. You don't even know where they are until you hit them. But if you don't cast your net wide and you don't keep collaborating and sharing and asking and looking and listening, you'll never know where those are and when you press those buttons it's becoming more and more important to destabilize the status quo. I think we all knew, even before this guy Snowden, that they'd been building a totalitarian digital system. The complacency that people have with the technology is very disturbing to me and it needs to be seriously reassessed.
DM: Do you know if Snowden made it out of Russia yet? To Venezuela?
GBPO: I think he's still in the transit lounge. The bit that amazes me is that anyone thinks it's a surprise. There's this idea of digital farms where they have sub-power stations collecting information so they can store everything forever, localized.
DM: Until the digital dark ages.
GBPO: It's funny, we were thinking this morning, that way back in the mid-seventies, we wrote an essay for a book called Decoder... My essay said that the next war is the information war. This is where the next war is going to be. Who's got the most information? Who's got the most data? And it's happened, which is what we call, See the inevitable. Like we thought industrial music was inevitable, or we thought the tattooing craze was inevitable. That's the cultural engineering aspect of observing the ebbs and flows just underneath the surface of the media and starting to suspect where the waves are taking us and then exposing it.
DM: I was curious about the differences between this new book and the now out of print, Painful But Fabulous: The Life and Art of Genesis P-Orridge.
LM: The new book is going to be much more of an image-based art monograph.
GBPO: It implies the same message. It implies that you can make every day of a life exciting, worthwhile, challenging. You can actually live an entire life as an adventurous story of your creation. And even though there are ups and downs, it's always worth it, compared to surrendering to the status quo.
LM: Yes. In terms of differences, the new one is much more of a biography and images and it's more personal. Rather than how different people see Genesis, it's more of Gen's own notes and archives and personal photos.
DM: Aside from Thee Psychick Bible and Wreckers of Civilisation: The Story of COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle―are there any others I'm not aware of? Those two and Painful But Fabulous?
GBPO: We're doing one called Breaking Sex which will be primarily about identity and gender and the ownership of the narrative of your life, alternative ways of exploring consciousness and, ultimately, ways to genuinely break negative behavior patterns. And then the ultimate project is still to set up small alternative villages, communities―not communes, but communities―that are experimental think tanks on different ways to live and different ways to have small societies based on sharing, generosity, kindness, and courage, instead of fear, paranoia, greed and intimidation. We're at a very interesting spot of the evolution of the species.
DM: The music on the three seven-inches that are going to accompany the deluxe edition was done with Ryan Martin from Dais Records, Sean Ragoon from Cult of Youth, and Blind Prophet Records?
GBPO: Yeah, we went in and did four tracks in two days. And then the third single we've not heard, but Mark Paytress, who is the editor of MOJO Magazine, whom we've known for years and years, he is going to write the introduction and sort of interpret the captures. And he had an interview where he edited bits of me and Jaye, so it's both of us speaking, which is nice. We didn't even know he had it.
DM: I see early photos of Jhonn Balance and Sleazy. Are these mostly photos of early Psychic TV?
GBPO: Basically. I mean, at that point, some of the others hadn't done anything for the band yet. Some were photos to deliberately make it look like there was an actual movement going on. Like, a propaganda photo. And it worked―by us all wearing these outfits we made it look like it was much bigger than it was and then it became much bigger than it was [laughs]! The things they say though are so insane! Things like this where it's only a tiny movement of the indicator of the little arrow of culture as to whether it would expose or whatever―if someone decided to make it their crusade for whatever reason, then we're all back to the beginning again, fighting for the same rights.
DM: What are some of the extra bits that people will get in the deluxe edition?
GBPO: Comes with the three records...
LM: The deluxe edition has the main book, a second book, three seven-inch singles, and a poster. The second book is part catalog of artworks, part documents (like the document where Neil Megson changes his name to Genesis P-Orridge). There are hospital bracelets from when Gen and Jaye got their breast implants, and then there's a few—
GBPO: [Pointing at details of the artwork included in the catalog] These are all dope bags, commenting on the Christian myth. Amazing how they work, isn't it? And this is the new piece we made for 1:1 called My Funny Valentine, which is a Polaroid of Jaye turned into a mandala. But then it's all these bums and things, the way you see it completely changes when you do that. Part of a series we've been doing… We found these in the back garden. Worms making love to themselves. And we actually had wild roses in there and we came back from the tour and there they were, all these worms having sex with themselves and all these roses. And we just thought ovaries and vaginas―seeing the world―and that one's a mixture of worms and the lip, how they fit together―the way the world intertwines with collage now, the cut up technique, seeing what's really there. And the birth certificate? Isn't that in there?
LM: Yes, the birth certificate, that's in there. There's also some really funny early report cards from Gen's elementary school teachers saying like, Neil refuses to give over to conformity, and, He's very smart but he seems to live in another universe—from when Gen's like, nine. And then there're some personal diary entries, some early news clippings… The most exciting thing about the book is that it's a real testimony to somebody who merged art and life and I think that this second book of documents is totally furthering that.
GBPO: These clippings go back to the sixties... And that's the original lineup of COUM: Pinglewad, he was at school with me, that's Spidey, Gas Mantel III, he was at school with me, and this guy is Ray Harvey, who even then was covered from his head to his feet in tattoos. He was a complete illiterate but a natural genius―if you gave him a tambourine and a microphone, he would just make up Captain Beefheart-like songs. And he would bang the tambourine until it was in bits and there was just blood on his hands.
DM: Do you keep in touch with any of them?
GBPO: We stayed in touch with Pinglewad for quite a long time and Ray Harvey. We sent him a copy of the record he was on, The Sound of Porridge Bubbling, and just not long after that, he died. Spidey―we don't know where he is. These are pieces of diaries.
LM: The Worm was a publication that Gen did at university.
GBPO: It got banned. So we broke in after it was banned, stole all the copies back and gave them away free. They weren't happy because it said on the front, How To Make a Molotov Cocktail, and on the back it was a diagram of where the oil tank was at the head of the university's house [laughs]. We didn't say anything should be put together... I mean, it was a bit naughty. These are more diaries from the sixties, early seventies. That was an article that some paper did on venereal disease and the young [points to a picture of self]. There's my birth certificate… There's my communion or baptism.
DM: As far as all the archives that you went thru for this―I remember in the Breaking Sex documentary that you'd said that when Scotland Yard raided your house in England they took away two tons of your archives. Is that something that you ever had returned to you?
GBPO: No, they never returned anything.
LM: In the documents, there's a reference to―we couldn't print the whole list because it was so massive―but there is a reference to a huge inventory of things that they took and destroyed or "lost." Scotland Yard wrote a letter―and the letter is in the second book―basically saying that they don't know what happened to her stuff and, Too bad, if you want to sue us you can try, but it will take years and a lot of money.
GBPO: Yeah, you have to put down a £60,000 deposit to begin to sue Scotland Yard, which is $100,000. With no guarantee, there's no bill of rights, no guarantee you could ever win unless you're a multi-millionaire. This is from my lawyers about Scotland Yard basically. This page spread is funny because this one's from the whole Prostitution show when my tampons were sited as why we were "wreckers of civilization"―and then the next page is from Sir Nicolas Serota [Director of The TATE] congratulating us on the fact that they've moved the tampon sculptures into the National Collection of Fine Art with the Turners and everything. It's just so ironic. So there's lot s of little documents like that that if people really look, it tells a lot of the story. Plus, the fact that we've had to fight off the authorities literally year in, year out. They've tried to shut me up legally several times and put me out of the country once. And I'm still not officially allowed back even though I go back sometimes. This is when they started suing me for doing post cards. Here's a letter from Burroughs writing on my behalf trying to find me a lawyer. Because they said that my postcards of the Queen were indecent―not obscene―indecent! And the difference is, with obscene you have to get a jury to all agree it's obscene and likely to deprave and corrupt society. But if it's called indecent then the only proof you need is one person to say, I was offended! There's no defense. So they charged me with indecent mail. And he was friends with Lord Goodman who ran the Arts Council and was a big deal lawyer, high aristocracy. One of the things that still surprises me is how often the powers that be, the government, Scotland Yard, the Lords that represent the Queen, have tried to shut me up. It's not very common in this day in age for artists to be attacked on that level for what they're saying and doing and creating. So, we thought it was important to include some of the documents of that to make it clear that when people say, It's all been done―there's nothing you can do to subvert the status quo―there is. Ironically, usually when you're not trying. That's the strangest part.
LM: So the archives that we're talking about all started after that or...
GBPO: Or things that were hidden in houses that they didn't know about.
LM: Yeah, so there was a lot of reaching out to people from way in the past, who Gen hadn't been in contact with for years, or even second-hand from those people, so we got a lot of stuff sent to us from various people. Gen and I are in New York, Fabrice is in Paris so he did a lot of going back and forth between Paris and London, meeting people and working really closely with photographers like Sheila Rock, and she brought out tons of photos of Gen and Sleazy and put us in touch with other photographers. Jean-Pierre Turmel had a lot of stuff that he gave us.
GBPO: Yeah, Turmel did Sordide Sentimental [Records] back in the seventies. The first record he released was Throbbing Gristle's "We Hate You Little Girls" [as a split] with "Five Knuckle Shuffle." And then Ian Curtis rang me up and said, We love this record, do you think this guy would want to do one with Joy Division? and I said Yeah, he likes Joy Division, so we put them in touch and Joy Division was the next. "Dead Souls" paired with "Atmospheres."
DM: I'd mentioned Orlan as a like-minded artist.
GBPO: We're showing an interview that we'd done with Orlan out at the Andy Warhol Museum when we do an evening of short movies. We went to Coney Island and while we were discussing the body and art in really serious terms, we were bouncing up and down in front of those funhouse mirrors that distort you.
LM: I actually think Orlan is approaching things very, very differently. I think of Gen's practice more in the context of someone like Derek Jarman, who was making such beautiful films and just by him being who he was, they were political statements.
GBPO: Oh, absolutely. It's refusing to censor your expression of how you see life. That your perception of what's going on is more important than your own safety. That's what Derek was definitely doing. He couldn't wait to tell the world that he was HIV positive because it meant that he was absolutely an outsider and absolutely unashamed of it. And it had a huge positive effect in Britain on the whole gay activist scene, and still does. He's still an inspiration to people.
LM: That's always a major issue with "politics." People are so obsessed with normalizing and naturalizing everything, a focus on inclusion... The emphasis should be on the opposite, like for a rupture in the established system which is obviously failing everyone.
GBPO: People should invent their own gay marriage, and fuck the world. Yes, legally they should be allowed to share insurance and everything else but the actual establishment, neo-Christian ceremony―fuck it. What are you doing? Saying, Oh, please accept me! You know: I like to suck cock but please pretend I don't―it's just like, no! A gay marriage is where people suck each other off at the end instead of kiss. That would fuck things up.
DM: People have been doing these Pink Mass ceremonies where a Satanist has been marrying gay people on the grave of Fred Phelps' mother.
GBPO: Who's Fred Phelps?
DM: God Hates Fags.
GBPO: Oh, that guy [laughs]. Yeah, that one's good. They need to dramatize what they're feeling and Derek Jarman was from the sixties of course, we're sixties, we're the bridge between the Beatniks and now, and it worries me that young people are sort of distracted by the disconnection of the internet where it's all almost like gossip―you put up your things but no one is responsible for the source of it. And there's still plenty of room to shake things up if people step back and think, What can we just do that's really what we mean and not symbolic of what we mean? When we gave our lectures at universities, first of all, there is curiosity in your generation [born in the eighties] because we've been literally breaking attendance records at universities like Yale as guest speakers. And people come up afterwards and ask, How can we find out more about this? It's so amazing and inspirational to realize that life and art are the same and that love is unconditional. And we often say as an example now, if you want to buy a book, you go to Amazon.com and type in the name of the book and you click and it gets sent. But when we had to get a book in the sixties―not like, Oh, poor me, but―we had to lie to our parents that we were going to London to visit somebody's grandparents and then hitchhike down to London with the train money so that we could have something to spend, meet all these weird people and truck drivers and people who want to give you a blowjob and everything on the way down there, listening to their stories, wandering around in the streets 'til you meet somebody who says, Do you wanna crash at my place? and then search Soho through the porno shops because the only people who had Burroughs and everyone were the porno shops because they'd heard Henry Miller and Burroughs were obscene. So that's where you went for Jean Genet, Burroughs, Henry Miller and everyone. And then you came back meeting lots more people. What's the difference in the enrichments between those three days and adventure―versus the click. It's a huge loss of richness.
DM: I'm seeing John Waters this weekend on Fire Island. He just got back from doing a hitchhike across the country for his new book Car Sick.
GBPO: The first time we met him―Jaye and myself―we were at a party at PS1 for Alanna Heiss who used to run it and help set it all up―and John came in and saw me and Jaye standing there looking as identical as we could. He came immediately over, flying towards us and we smiled and he saw our gold teeth and his first words were, Can I lick your gold teeth? and we said, Of course, John, and he did. That's how we met. So when you see him, say hi from the gold teeth. Our obsession, as you said, is that life and art are truly inseparable and the media are absolutely random and just, whichever works at the time. And who are you talking to? Not the converted, because they're converted. So, you're trying to find ways to set up situations that don't have to be confrontational but do cause people to stop and go, What is that about? And, Why have they done that? That's why the Warhol retrospective is so important. Because thousands of people who will go there because they've heard that Warhol is weird or just heard that he's collectable or whatever it might be―and then they'll be confronted with thirty years of artwork―a whole floor. And hopefully they'll see the connections, that it's a way of seeing, a way of perceiving. But you know that we've told you over and over again that for me it's a mystical, spiritual journey. It's got nothing to do with the right gallery and career and everything else. It's got nothing to do with how much money you make or don't make. It's about speaking.

(Sports Network) - A monster effort by LaMarcus Aldridge failed to earn the
Portland Trail Blazers a victory last time out.
The former second overall pick will try to salvage the finale of a three-game
homestand for his struggling club on Monday night in a meeting with the
Atlanta Hawks, who continue their swing out west by playing for a second
straight night.
Aldridge tore up the box score with 29 points, a career high-tying seven
assists, four rebounds and four blocks on Saturday against the San Antonio
Spurs, but that effort -- as well as a 33 points by Nicolas Batum to match a
career best -- still wasn't enough in a 112-109 defeat.
"(The Spurs) made tough shots tonight," said Aldridge, whose Trail Blazers
lost their third straight and for the first time in eight home meetings with
San Antonio.
Portland led by as much as 14 in the third quarter, but saw its bench get
outscored by San Antonio's reserves by a lopsided 63-4.
"Even with all of that, we still had a chance to win. So we can't buy into
that," Aldridge noted of the bench production. "We have to do what we do
better. We had a chance to win tonight."
Aldridge, taken second overall in the 2006 draft, became just the fifth player
since the 2006-07 season to notch at least 29 points, seven assists and four
blocks in a game and the first Trail Blazer to do so since Clyde Drexler on
March 8, 1988.
In 12 career games versus the Hawks, Aldridge has tallied 18.2 points and 9.2
rebounds per contest. That includes 19 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in
a 97-77 home win over Atlanta on Feb. 18 of last season, one that snapped a
six-game series losing streak.
Portland is primed to make it two in a row over Atlanta, which is coming off
Sunday's 89-76 setback to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Josh Smith had 13 points and six rebounds, while Al Horford tallied 11 points
and nine boards in Atlanta's second loss in a row. The Hawks turned the ball
over 22 times and were just 7-of-16 from the free throw line.
"We had too many turnovers and couldn't hit free throws," Atlanta head coach
Larry Drew said.
Smith has been one of the main culprits. He missed all four of his free throw
shots on Sunday and is just 2-for-14 from the line this season.

May 6, 2016
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Robert Griffin III threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Washington Redskins beat the Dallas Cowboys 38-31 on Thursday.
The Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor made the Cowboys (5-6) look like an overmatched college team during the decisive second quarter in his first trip to Texas as a pro.
Griffin was 8 of 8 for 178 yards with three touchdowns to key the first 28-point quarter in 13 years for the Redskins (5-6). The rookie became the first Washington quarterback to throw four touchdown passes in consecutive games.
Tony Romo lost for the first time in six starts on Thanksgiving, despite a career-high 441 yards and three second-half touchdowns, including a career-long 85-yarder to Dez Bryant.

Tragedy launches three ordinary women from Maine on a 10 year-patriotic mission that proves that sometimes darkness can bring out your true colors.
One Tuesday Morning tells the remarkable story of how tragedy launched three average women from Maine on a 10-year patriotic journey of service and remembrance. After personally greeting over 100,000 troops on their way to war, and standing vigil outside EVERY single Tuesday morning since 9/11, the nationally-heralded Freeport Flag Ladies have redefined the term 'flag waver.' The film follows their transformation into Old Glory's three best friends, and along the way explores issues of patriotism, the meaning of the flag, and the consequences of war. The story is a celebration of the American spirit that animates these 3 retired women, who lead the little town of Freeport, Maine in a 10-year commemoration of 9/11 by organizing and dedicating a lasting memorial made of steel.

About Us
About Us About Us
Utah Soccer Alliance is one of the largest and most competitive clubs in the state. It is the premier club on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. USA has more than 50 teams that represent every age group in the Utah Youth Soccer State competition league, in both boys and girls competitions. Our premier teams are routinely among the top teams in the state, compete in the Utah State Cup, and travel and compete in various out-of-state tournaments. Our teams have competed against teams from California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arkansas, Arizona, Texas, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Alaska and even Porto Alegre, Brazil. In the 2009 Fall Season, USA was first place in four of the premier divisions.
Utah Soccer Alliance also boasts one of the strongest coaching staffs in the state, and is, without a doubt, the top staff in this part of the Valley. Dennis Burrows is the Director of Coaching (DOC). Dennis has been coaching soccer since 1989 and has been the Sparta United girls program DOC for 14 years. Dennis' successes include 16 state cup championships, 23 state cup final appearances, coaching both boys and girls teams, and has been an ODP age group head coach since 1996. Dennis has coached top 25 nationally ranked teams and has also been involved with a successful college placement for club players which will be a great benefit to USA. USA also has many other ODP staff coaches, former professional and collegiate standouts. USA works closely with the local high schools and has on their staff the head coaches from Lone Peak High School, Herriman High School, Waterford High School and Bingham High School.
Finally, Utah Soccer Alliance has a unique mission and goal. We focus on player development and a place for everyone to play. With the number of competitive teams we field at all levels, and with our large recreation program with more than 300 teams, there is always a place for everyone to play. USA continues to be one of the best values in the Intermountain Region, as we have some of the lowest fees for premier soccer clubs in the region, while maintaining a top coaching staff and competitive teams. We would love for you to be a part of this growing club.
The 3 Tiers of USA Soccer Club The 3 Tiers of USA Soccer Club
In an effort to fulfill our mission of providing, "a place for everyone to play," three (3) tiers of Club soccer are available to all players in Utah Soccer Alliance.
Recreation: One of the largest programs in the state of Utah, our Recreation tier hosts 2500+ participants, boys and girls, and encourages every child, no matter ability, an opportunity to learn the game of soccer and have fun. The Recreation tier also provides a Top Soccer program, for our special needs players, and operates a U7 and U8 Academy under the guidance of former Real Salt Lake star, and current Head Scout, Andy Williams. Teams will be lead by volunteer coaches with minimal financial, time and travel commitment.
Alliance: The Alliance tier at USA is our intermediate tier; for those individual boys and girls that have perhaps outgrown the Recreation format or simply would enjoy the greater competition of the statewide league format, but still desire more local or regionalized play. Coaches in this tier are volunteer but also required to be State and/or nationally licensed. Team financial, time and travel commitments are kept moderate.
Competition: For the discerning player, the Competition tier engages the player technically, tactically, physically and mentally. Players and teams in this tier are expected to compete for local, regional and national titles. Additionally, these teams (U13 and older) will compete in the four-state Mountain Division of the prestigious National Premier League (NPL) and the UYSA sponsored winter Desert Premier Soccer League (DPSL ) and College Showcase. Players from this tier are scouted for participation on Olympic Development (ODP) pool teams and the highly regarded national scouting and development program sponsored by the NPL and US Club Soccer (id2). Teams will be led by paid, nationally licensed coaches and can expect substantial financial, time and travel commitments year-round.
Mission Statement Mission Statement
The mission of USA is to provide every player that desires to play soccer, an appropriate place to play; to help make the soccer experience fun and enjoyable; to instill the principles of fair play and sportsmanship; and to offer the best and most committed players a challenging and rewarding environment where they can achieve their full potential. In doing this, we remember that the game is for the kids.

The Maru Dojo was started September 1987. It was established with help from Anne McCaffrey the Director of the Lifetime Sports Program and the students at Loyola College. The Maru Dojo at Loyola works to promote physical safety and mental awareness among its students. Through our self-defense classes students have learned to protect themselves not only with defensive techniques but also by learning how to be more aware of their surroundings so as to prevent an attack before it happens. The Maru Dojo is fully certified by the American Ju-Jitsu Association (AJA) and is dedicated to its teachings and standards. The style of Ju-Jitsu taught at Loyola is Maru Ketsugo Ju-Jitsu and comes from several different styles of Ju-Jitsu. Among them are: Samurai Combat Ju-Jitsu, Small Circle Ju-Jitsu, Taiho Jitsu (styles before 1882), Kodokan Judo, Budoshin Ju-Jitsu, Haddo Ryu Ju-Jitsu, Ketsugo Ju-Jitsu, and Seibukan Ninhon Ryu Ju-Jitsu. We also study techniques from some of the ancient art forms of Shuai Chiou a Chinese version of Ju-Jitsu in the Kung Fu system.
Maru is also involved in other Loyola activities. Students may participate in demonstrations and help teach at self-defense seminars held in individual dorms all over campus. Over the years Maru has competed in area tournaments and the Maryland State Games. Many of the participating students have done well enough to take home first, second, and third place trophies. In September of 1997 Maru and its students celebrated its ten year anniversary with a total of twenty-one AJA registered students. In September 1997 Maru Dojo's Ju-Jitsu web page was up and running, giving prospective and current students up to date information on all belt requirements, dojo activities, and helpful material on Ju-Jitsu and general self-defense. The web page was created not only for the Loyola Ju-Jitsu students, but for anyone interested in the art of Ju-Jitsu. Some of the articles, information, and questions on this site were submitted by the students.
The first Ju-Jitsu classes taught at Loyola were taught by Sensei Donna Mathews and Sensei Peter Chimm. The first class started September 1987. Both instructors hold teaching certificates from the American Ju-Jitsu Association. Sensei Chhim holds the rank of Nidan (2nd degree black) and left Maru in 1991.
Hanshi Donna Mathews is also a member of Seibukan-Kai Hombu dojo of Chubu-Shorin-Ryu Japan and holds a Kudan (9th degree black) in that system. Hanshi Mathews is the only female in the United States to hold the rank of Hanshi. She also holds a Hachidan (8th degree black) from the American Ju-Jitsu Association. Both Senseis trained and were promoted under Mejin (10th degree black) Dennis McCurdy. Mejin McCurdy is also the President of the AJA, and is the head instructor for the Daitobukan Dojo at the Towson Y.M.C.A. In 2002 Maru Martial Arts and the Ju-Jitsu Club came together and became the Loyola Ju-Jitsu Club under the certification of the Maru Martial Arts Dojo. Maru Martial Arts holds a dojo certification under the American Ju-Jitsu Association. All of the black belts promoted from the Loyola Ju-Jitsu Club are certified by the American Ju-Jitsu Association through the Maru Martial Arts Dojo.
This year 2011 Maru Martial Arts and its founder Hanshi Donna Mathews begins its 25th year at Loyola. Assistant instructors are Phillip Browning, Kevin Dougherty, and Jennifer McNamara. All assistant instructors are Loyola graduates.
The Maru Dojo is a sanctioned dojo of the America Ju-Jitsu Association. Maru has been a sanctioned dojo since 1987. All AJA dojos are owned and run by AJA certified black belts who have also gained their instructor certificate.
The American Ju-Jitsu Association is an internationally recognized governing body for Ju-Jitsu in the United States. The AJA is recognized by the Nippon Seibukan in Japan and the European Jujitsu Union. The AJA was offered these ties because it developed as a reputable and credible governing body. All certificates from Maru are recognized by the American Ju-Jitsu Association.
Some schools do not have a large organization behind them. Many are not connected to their origin country. When picking a school or dojo, this should not be used as a factor in making your decision. Some instructors learn from having it passed down to them through the family. Others take courses offered in classes given by the recreation centers. These instructors are frequently as effective at teaching as those certified by larger organizations. Once you become a black belt you can join organizations with connections all over the world. You can also belong to more than one.
It was in the teachings of Sanzo Seki that there are no styles of Ju-Jitsu; there is only Ju-Jitsu. The differences are in terminology and/or sequence in which various parts of the art are taught.

The Academy (忍者学校, Akademī, Literally meaning: Ninja School) is a huge building in Konohagakure located directly at the base of the Hokage Mountain. It consists of both a training centre for Academy students before they become genin as well as an administrative side where the Mission Assignment Desk as well as the Hokage's office is located. It was founded by Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage out of military necessity.[1] The Jōnin Standby Station is also located on the compound.
The Academy is quite large and is comprised of several buildings which were erected over time. The building can be identified by the tree in front of it which has a swing on it and more so, by the giant sign with the kanji for Fire (火) on it. Classrooms in the Academy are large and have high ceilings, based on a theory that larger classrooms lead to expansive education, expanding even to the blackboard itself. In front of the blackboard is a podium, situated far from the students' desks and put in a position where the teacher can view everyone at once.
Administrative Division
Along with being a school, it is also the area where the Hokage's office is located, missions are dispatched and the day-to-day running of the village takes place. The Hokage's office is a large, somewhat oval room usually filled with stacks of unfinished paperwork. Behind the Hokage's desk is a large window through which the Hokage can survey the entire village. On the desk itself is a stylised kanji for shadow (影, kage) followed by the symbol of the village. There is also the Mission Assignment Desk where missions are usually dispensed to shinobi.
Academic Division
Admission Requirements for Konoha's Academy
- Love the village and hope to help preserve peace and prosperity.
- Have a mind that will not yield, able to endure hard training and work.
- Be healthy in mind and body.
- Have to be 5 years old.
If the above conditions are met, admission to the Academy will be granted.[2]
Aside from the obvious lessons one would learn from a Ninja Academy, all students receive essential knowledge, such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, etc. Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka are also shown to have taken special kunoichi classes, where they were taught things about other cultures and how knowledge of things like flower arranging will help them to blend in during an infiltration mission. Students also have to study the Shinobi Rules. Special lectures read by highly experienced shinobi are sometimes held.
Taught by chūnin instructors, all ninja potentials are lectured on tactics and strategies. They are instructed on the basics of trap-setting as well as how to strengthen their minds and bodies. They are taken through the handling of ninja weapons and tools, like shuriken and kunai, learning how to throw and wield them through target practice. Academy students are also taught about chakra and how to use it, hand seals and the basic levels of:
- Taijutsu classes serve as the Ninja Academy's equivalent of Physical education class. In taijutsu class, students are engaged in physical activities to help train their bodies and develop their stamina.
- Ninjutsu classes provide the bulk of what potential ninja learn at the Academy. The subject of ninjutsu encompasses techniques that use chakra and allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of doing. Techniques such as the Transformation Technique and the Clone Technique are taught to students at the Academy that will build up to what they'll learn from their jōnin-sensei.
- Genjutsu classes are not touched much upon except for explaining what genjutsu is. When learning about genjutsu, students are advised to determine if they are trapped in a genjutsu, and then how to release themselves from it.
Graduating from the Academy usually consists of taking both a written exam and a practical exam, administered by a chūnin instructor, to earn enough marks to pass. Upon graduating, students receive a forehead protector, proof of their achievement. Graduating students are then separated into squads of three genin and assigned to a jōnin-sensei to instruct them further. At this point, they will be tested once again by their jōnin teacher to assess whether they would be able to handle the demands that will be made of them as ninja (i.e. the dynamics of teamwork). The graduates of the Sannin and Team 7 were given the bell test to see if they could make the cut; it is unknown if the rest of the would-be teams in Konoha use the same test. According to Kakashi, there is a 66% chance of failure, since only nine of the twenty-seven graduates of his time of testing would be allowed to pass this secondary test.[3]
Students who don't pass the tests set by their chūnin-sensei may be held back for another year. However, students who do pass the tests set by their chūnin-sensei, but later fail the tests administered by their assigned jōnin-sensei, may either be sent back to the academy or else, depending on their performance, dropped from the program at their jōnin-sensei's discretion.
Although students are only instructed in the use of basic level genjutsu, ninjutsu and taijutsu, knowledge of these techniques are ultimately not pivotal to their success as ninja; Naruto Uzumaki, who failed to perform the Clone Technique, an E-rank technique, but could effortlessly perform the Shadow Clone Technique, a B-rank jōnin-level technique, is an example of this.
Other Academies
Graduation requirements vary from academy to academy. In Konoha, the graduation exam is comprised a kind of written test, as well as the testing of a student's knowledge of the basic techniques. Some limited details about the other Hidden Village Ninja Academies have also been disclosed:
- The Suna Ninja Academy: Not much has been mentioned about the previous curriculum, but during the final Pre-Shippūden filler arc in the original anime it was revealed that the Ninja Academy at Suna has adopted a new training program that emulated that same training program as the Konoha Ninja Academy, and in Part II the success of the new training program was commented upon.
- The Kiri Ninja Academy: During Yagura's reign as the Fourth Mizukage, the Kiri Ninja Academy final graduation exam consisted of pitting all of the Ninja Academy's graduates against each other in a battle to the death, with the winners/survivors graduating; this was a method to eradicate emotions in exchange for combat efficiency, and was the very reason that Kirigakure was nicknamed "Village of the Bloody Mist". After Zabuza Momochi, not yet himself a student, imposed himself into the fight and slaughtered all one hundred of that year's students, the practice was discontinued in favour of more humane and less depopulating methods.
- Although the Japanese name for the Ninja Academy is simply Academy (Akademī, usually written as アカデミー), it's written with the kanji for ninja school (忍者学校, usually pronounced as "ninja gakkō").
- In the anime, there is also an academy that teachers must pass in order to teach the next generations of ninja. It was destroyed from a battle between Iruka and Mizuki.[4]
- Part of this building has often been confused with the Hokage Residence due to the fact that the Hokage's office is located here. However, according to official releases, they are in fact two separate places.[5]

Microsoft IllumiRoom (Credit: Microsoft)
The company unveiled their 'IllumiRoom' technology in January at CES, but we're now getting a more complete picture of what it can do. And it's pretty cool stuff.
In a nutshell, IllumiRoom extends the game beyond the borders of your television. Working in conjunction with a wireless projector that sits on your coffee table, it projects images from the game onto the walls surrounding your TV.
A video showing the technology in action claims the technology "can extend the gaming content out of your TV, creating a truly immersive experience. Or we can selectively show game elements, like explosions, or make it snow in our living room."
While the technology can broaden the canvas on which the game is played -- potentially alerting you to items of interest off screen or widening the environment -- it can also project light to change the appearance of the room, making cookie-cutter bookshelves look like cell-shaded art.
It's a fascinating proof-of-concept video, one that has led some people to leap to the assumption that it will be a feature in the next Xbox. That's probably a bit optimistic, though.
People familiar with the new Xbox say IllumiRoom is not a part of the new system -- at least at launch. And if Microsoft were planning to incorporate this as a killer app, the company would likely have kept it very secret, as it did with Kinect before that system's reveal.
That said, we should know more on May 21, when Microsoft finally takes the wraps off of the new console -- though if it were going to include IllumiRoom in the new Xbox, it's possible the company could hold this back for a reveal during its E3 press conference.

scratchbord™ Tweet TweetItem# 31371Create this charming scratch art image of a cuckoo clock bird singing out the changing of the hour with scratchbord™.
Step 1 This project uses an 11"x14" scratchbord™ panel. Download and print image #1. To transfer the drawing to the scratchbord™, rub white chalk on the back of the drawing and tape the drawing to the board, chalk side down. Be careful not to tape on the black surface.
Step 2 Tracing over the lines with a pencil or pen, transfer the lines to the board. You can stop, lift the drawing and check to make sure the lines are transferring. Don't worry about following lines perfectly, they can be fixed or modified when cutting the lines in with the knife.
Step 3 With a scratch tool, lightly follow the chalk lines. Outline areas in the design that should remain black, including the thin black outlines of some of the figures in the drawing. Details will be added later.
Step 4 Using the scratch tool, remove the background or areas of black to expose the white clay. You can follow the design provided or change it. There are many areas in this design that could remain black; like the background, or house. The decision is up to you. When you have scraped off as much of the black ink to expose the areas you want to leave in white, you are ready to add color.
Step 5 The background ovals with dots have irregular dots or speckles. Paint these dots with a slightly diluted red India Ink. When adding ink, first dab brush onto paper towel to remove excess paint before brushing on. You don't want your brush to be heavily saturated with pigment, as it will not allow you to control putting on the color. After painting these, let dry, then add some straight yellow to the rest of the ovals. The overall background is a heavily diluted blue ink. You could continue painting the birdhouse/clock, or leave it in white as the current design.
Step 6 Let ink dry completely, then spray with two light coats of a fixative. We recommend the Krylon® UV finishes. You can choose Matte, Satin or Gloss. After spraying you can now frame your artwork in a frame without glass!
scratchbord™ Panel, 11"x14"
Chalk – White or Pastel
Pencil (or Pen)
Scratch Knife
Brush #2 Round Watercolor
Paper Towels
Ink – Color of Choice
Be patient and take your time. This is a time consuming project but it can be done, and tracing the drawing will help tremendously. After you get the hang of it, try other images, other birds, other background patterns.Craft Time: 60+ minutes

Pingree said she was "gratified the voters would give me an opportunity to serve again," and said one of her top priorities is to help the nation's farms.
Rep. Chellie Pingree address supporters in Portland, as her husband, Donald Sussman (left) looks on.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree on Tuesday coasted to a third term representing Maine's 1st Congressional District, easily defeating Republican challenger Jon Courtney.
In the 2nd District, Democratic Rep. Mike Michaud maintained a comfortable lead over Republican Kevin Raye with votes in 8 percent of the districts counted.
Pingree said she was "gratified the voters would give me an opportunity to serve again."
"There's a tremendous amount of work to be done in Congress," she said.
Tops on her list is a bill to help the country's farms, but the biggest challenge is the deficit.
With 17 percent of the 1st District precincts counted, Pingree had 67 percent of the votes in her race against Courtney, a cleaning business owner and majority leader in the state Senate.
