Churches changing stance as gays gain acceptance.
Gays and lesbians get married, raise families, attend worship services and preach from pulpits - and most of us hardly give it a second thought.
But this is the year 2032, and it's easy to forget that it has not always been this way.
Think back 25 years to 2007 - an epochal year in the annals of gay rights, at least here in Oregon. It was the year that a Democrat-controlled Legislature approved two landmark laws - the ones that banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and extended domestic partnership benefits to same-sex couples.
More significantly, religiously motivated opponents narrowly failed to gather the necessary signatures to refer the two laws to the ballot. A subsequent effort in 2008 to collect enough signatures to overturn the laws via initiative petition also failed.
Also in 2007, the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture in New York City sponsored a daylong press briefing titled "By What Authority? How Religious Traditions Think About Homosexuality." The briefing brought together top religious academicians from Jewish, Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, evangelical Protestant and Muslim perspectives.
I was privileged to attend.
Here's what I think I learned that day: Whether slow or fast, whether embraced or resisted, religious institutions' views on homosexuality are changing, often imperceptibly but inexorably.
The reasons? Rabbi Elliot Dorff, professor of philosophy at American Jewish University near Los Angeles, identified two:
"Gays are much more out of the closet than even just a few years ago - and it's hard to hate someone you know and love," he said. Second, "The science is no longer soft: Homosexuality is a very complex phenomenon, a combination of nature and nurture."
Dorff said his son, who considers people's sexual orientation to be as interesting as whether they have brown or blue eyes, represents the next generation of Americans whose attitudes about homosexuality are influencing the views of organized religion.
Dorff represents the Conservative, or middle-of-the-road, branch of Judaism, which provides greater wiggle room for scriptural interpretation than some Christian traditions. Jewish scholars in 2007, he said, view the Old Testament's commentary on homosexuality to be "inherently ambiguous," consistent with a "feisty" rabbinical tradition that appreciates ambiguity.
There would seem to be less creedal uncertainty in the Catholic tradition, at least as outlined by Stephen Pope (such a fitting surname!), professor of theology at Boston College. Pope reviewed the church's teachings that see Scripture as divine law rather than historical account, and procreation and companionship as the sole purposes of male-female sexuality.
He acknowledged that the crisis of clergy sex abuse has made it even harder than usual for Catholic leaders to discuss issues of sexuality. "I hear very few sermons on sexual ethics - in fact, I've not heard one in years," he said.
But Pope, too, asserted that science is having an influence on people in the pews.
"It's causing people in the Catholic church to consider the Catholic norm," he said. "Many Catholics are finding the Catholic norms to be unsettling and unacceptable. I think change will come, but over a long, long time."
I was skeptical. How could he offer such a prediction, I asked Pope, in light of the official church doctrines he had just outlined for us? Pope paused a moment before answering.
"I believe in the Holy Spirit," he said. "God works on a very different timetable than we do."
In the mainline Protestant tradition, churches choose from among no fewer than seven different theological viewpoints on same-gender relationships, said William Stacy Johnson, a lawyer and associate professor of systematic theology at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Those viewpoints range from prohibition (gay desire and behavior is a perversion) to consecration (sexual orientation is a gift of God to be celebrated). But most mainline Protestant churches, Johnson said, fall in the category of toleration: Gays and lesbians should be welcomed into church life, but must stoically accept their tragic fate by practicing sexual abstinence.
"That's the position, but it's a highly contested position," Johnson said, "And it won't last, because it's inherently unstable: You're telling people, `Your orientation is OK, you just can't live out your orientation.'?"
Johnson asserted that many Protestant pastors are closeted - about their support for gays and lesbians.
"They don't want this to come up because they don't want it to split the church," he said. "Pastors want to move on this - but not now. It's been called the make-or-break issue."
Pastors in the evangelical tradition are much less ambivalent, assured Stanton Jones, provost and professor of psychology at Wheaton College in Illinois. That's because the Bible's condemnation of homosexual conduct is "pervasive, absolute and severe," Jones said.
Jones regards traditional views on the Bible to be the truth, not one among many interpretations. He said many biblical scholars engage in "theological fancy footwork" in an effort to sidestep Scripture's clear intent.
"I respect those who say, `Sometimes the Bible just gets it wrong,'?" he said. "I don't agree with that, but I respect it."
Jones is an advocate of so-called conversion therapy, which seeks to help people who want to change their sexual orientation. Opponents of such therapy include the American Psychological Association, which has expressed concern about such therapies' potential harm to patients. But Jones is co-author of a study that he said found change is possible for some, and that attempts to change, on average, are not harmful.
Still, when it comes to homosexuality, "most evangelicals wrestle with conflicting instincts," Jones said. "Biology is relevant, but not as dominant as widely believed." Other factors, he said, include genetics, prenatal hormones and the nature of father-son relationships.
Evangelical views on homosexuality in 2007 may seem downright expansive compared to the perspective held by many Muslims. "This issue is still very taboo in Muslim communities around the world," Ebrahim Moosa, associate professor of Islamic studies at Duke University, said at the briefing.
In the Muslim tradition, homosexuality "is wrong by tradition, by reason, by medicine - a perversion of the natural order," Moosa said. Homosexuality is widely viewed as a threat to one's lineage or even satanic; simply raising the issue, he said, is often seen as serving a subversive or imperialist agenda.
But even Moosa wondered aloud if a younger generation will change the faith's norms.
"I know many in Muslim communities who are gay - it's like, don't ask, don't tell," he said. "Traditional Islamic thought is dying - now it's a Home Depot version: Read and interpret the Koran for yourself."
Marc Stern, legal counsel for the American Jewish Congress and an expert on church-state law, concluded the briefing by reminding everyone how much views about homosexuality had changed leading up to 2007:
"If we were having this meeting 15 or 20 years ago, we'd be talking about litigation challenging states' sodomy laws," he said.
By 2007, the issues had moved to gay marriage and gay ordination.
Could we have imagined then the aspects of homosexuality that do, and don't, occupy our thinking today, in 2032?

Hi: 12° Lo:3°
By Connie Osborne Friday 23 November 2012 Updated: 23/11 10:42
A KIND-HEARTED woman has helped raise £75 for the Primrose Hospice after reading about the recent theft of Tree of Light donations in the Standard.
Lynn Ward decided to donate funds raised from a raffle to the hospice after she read about the break-in at the charity's Alcester Street shop in Redditch.
The Standard reported two weeks ago how thieves caused about £200 worth of damage and stole envelopes containing money and tributes for the annual Christmas appeal.
"I remember thinking what an awful story and I just wanted to help in anyway I could. I don't know how anyone could take that money, it's an horrific thing to do."
Along with nine other businesswomen, the Studley resident held a Christmas Fayre at her home where 50 people attended and purchased raffle tickets.
"The fund-raising team at the hospice were delighted with the donation. I just hope it will go some way to meeting repairs for the shop or towards the cost of Christmas festivities for people in care."

I'm on to them. 'Them' is the book industry that produces the glut of child rearing books that keep parents trapped on the always-trying-to-be-better-parents 'hamster wheel', and which, in reality, is just one colossal cash cow.
Perhaps the 'them' is actually a 'one'—one glib Gen X book publishing mogul, clad in his (or her) Ralph Lauren power suit, not giving two figs about the benefits of breast feeding and the prevention of ear infections, let alone the complexities of kindergarten readiness and children with Fall birthdays, but simply sitting in his mucky muck corner office brainstorming the craziest paranoia-inducing book titles he can think of and then hitting his speed dial to call upon his cadre of Stepford writers to crank out volumes of drivel designed to keep parents continually off balance.
Having realized all this, I was faced with a choice. I could call Mr./Ms. Mucky Muck and ask for a job (and when that didn't work…) or I could selflessly serve my fellow parenting community and offer my rebuttal to some of the books that cause us to mistrust our parenting skills. So below are real book titles that can be found at your local bookstore. The parenthetical observations are my gift to the global parenting population and their collective angst.
- Parents In Charge (Right, and I've got some dot.com stocks I can sell you.)
- When Mothers Work (Hmm… when exactly is it that a Mother doesn't work? I must have missed the memo.)
- Life After Baby (There's a life? Tell me where to go and get one and I'm there faster than you can say cracked nipples.)
- Tired of Yelling? (And?) Raising a Happy, Unspoiled Child (What planet did you say you were from?)
- I Know My Child Can Do Better (Now, if only his teacher would cash that check I slid into her homemade Christmas card.)
- Birth Order Blues (Oh, please, will someone just get over that one?)
- Six Point Plan for Raising Happy Healthy Children (Complete with a daily calendar to relentlessly remind you that you're not even close to making it to step 2 let alone steps 3 through 6!)
- Overcoming Underachieving (What about Underestimating Overindulging? Or maybe Overcoming Underbites? And we can't forget Overwrought, Overwhelmed & Undercooked.)
- The Mother Dance (You mean the first day of school dance, a.k.a. The Dance of Inexplicable Joy?)
- Busy But Balanced (Oh, why don't you just balance THIS!)
- Silver Spoon Kids (Is there a Six Point Plan for ensuring you have the means with which to rear a Silver Spoon Kid?)
- How To Parent (It's one book…with only 150 pages? Shouldn't this be a 46-volume set, complete with charts, diagrams, and Margarita recipes?)
- Preventing Sibling Rivalry (In other words, raising an only child.)
- Parents Under Siege (The next Summer action blockbuster starring Steven Segal and JLo.)
- Ask The Children (Ask them what? If they remembered to change their underwear and brush their teeth?)
- So You Want To Be A Stay At Home Mom? (Oh, no problem. Just donate all your beautiful business attire to a thrift store, buy one pair of sweats, splatter them with so-called washable paint, grind in some neon orange macaroni and cheese powder, add a few dabs of mucus or some other mystery fluid, and you're good to go…)
- Team Spirited Parenting (Complete with your very own set of pompoms and megaphone.)
- Honey for a Child's Heart (And peanut butter for their hair…)
- Mom I got a Tattoo! (And other great lines you can expect from your teenager that will require an increase in your Prozac dosage.)
- Idiot's Guide to Motherhood (Enough said!)

A letter published in the official Granma by one its readers asks the State to limit the prices charged by the self-employed in order to protect "the working people from abusive prices"
Cubanet.org, Orlando Freire Santana, Havana, 27 March 2015 – Notwithstanding the image that the Castro regime strives to present about small, private enterprise, in the sense of having expanded this activity as part of the economic transformations that are taking place on the island, the truth is that the non-state sector of the economy faces more than a few obstacles.
High taxes, lack of a wholesale market where supplies and raw materials can be acquired, the lack of recognition by the authorities of the total costs that private businesses incur, as well as the excess of audits of Sworn Personal Income Statements, among others, are some of the daily hurdles that stand in the way of the self-employed.
Last Friday, March 20, the newspaper Granma published two works that contain "recommendations" that could obstruct or kill self-employment. The first of these, "Money Well Paid?" is a report about the payments by state entities to self-employed workers in the Holguin province. Continue reading

Propagating Fig and Loquat Trees
My mother has a Loquat and a Black Mission Fig tree at her house, both send up plenty of suckers every year. Can I use those suckers to start trees for my own property? I was going to use a sharp shovel to try to separate them from the mother plant with some of their roots intact, and then pot them up with a fast draining mix and keep them in a partly shaded area. Does this sound like a good plan?
Peachy, I've not propagated loquats, but figs should do fine that way. You can take dormant branch cuttings and simply stick them into potting soil and they'll root (I have 6 doing that right now, in fact.) Certainly worth trying, nothing to lose!
Patty S.
You can air-layer the fig, one of the easiest ways to do it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Air Layer Fig
I doubt the loquat is sending up suckers--what you are probably seeing is sprouted seeds, they spring up like weeds if you let fruit drop.
I have never gotten an answer as to whether the seed-grown loquats taste like the mother plant, but my seedlings taken from one tree which I loved the fruit from should fruit in a few years--I'll keep you posted LOL. I also grafted scions from that tree, and they are doing great, so I should be able to compare the two someday, for the definitive answer.
Carla in Sac
Thanks everyone!
I think I'll try multiple methods for the Fig and try to dig up some of the Loquat seedlings and plant some seeds for insurance. The Loquats are going to be used more as landscape trees than for fruit, so I don't mind if they aren't like the parent.
Figs root from cuttings very easily for some people. If there are any branches near the ground you can just pin them down and bury part of them with soil and they will root in themselves. After that you just snip them off the mother tree and dig them up.
My loquat does send up "suckers" but they aren't from the roots, they're from the very base of the tree. They can be very hard to get to root. Out of a dozen I can usually get one to take root and that usually takes a full year. It works best to damage the stem first, let the tree start to heal, then mix some rooting hormone with damp sterile potting media and wrap it around the wound with aluminum foil and rubber bands. Check it every couple of months. When the foil pouch is full of roots you can safely cut the branch off the tree. I have been able to root 4 or 5 foot branches this way (kind of amazing considering how small the amount of roots are compared to the size of the branch). If you can dig down and expose the sucker you may be able to scar it and pack it with hormone/potting soil and then rebury it and wait for roots. I have had no success with soft or green branches, it has to be woody and over a year old.
Seeds work almost as fast and are much easier.
If you plant 100 loquat seeds, you will get 100 trees; if you have a loquat tree, you probably have any number of small trees growing around your yard; just dig up one or more and pot them, or plant some seeds...very few plants are easier to produce; and yes, the seedling will be the same as the parent. In my gardens (tropical) the loquat (here called nispero) is a WEED.
I live in north UK where we are just emerging from an exceptionally long hard winter. Before it started I took the precaution of protecting my 5 ft tall pot grown loquat with a fleece bag, after it suffered badly with the frost in previous years. Alas, on taking off the fleece bag, I have just found that the tree has been wrecked by the weight of the snow on the bag. What was once a small elegant tree is now an ugly mess. Several large branches have been broken off, although they still look reasonably healthy, presumably since the temperature still isn't high enough to restart growth. My question is, what's the best way to root cuttings from these broken off branches? Failing that, should I try to air layer the ends of branches on the remains of the tree? Or should I give up in this cool climate?
I have never gotten Loquat branches to root, the only thing that works for me is grafting onto a going rootstock, or seeds. They are related to apples, and you can't root branches broken off apples either, at least not without a LOT of luck and work.
Carla in Sac
Right on advice here; the Mission fig, one of the easiest to grow, will grow well from a sucker cutting. The loquat, forget it, just plant a seed and you will get a loquat... same as the parent. In my gardens loquats are like weeds; I probably pull up 100 or more every month.

That lid should be for the 3.5 quart round oven -- you can tell by LC's Stock Numbers (hint: ends with the number stamped on the lid...)

Temporary container goji plants
charlieboringJanuary 22, 2013
I received two bareroot goji plants around the first of the year and decided to put each of them in its own 1 gallon container and place them under a grow light until I move them into a raised bed around April 15. I am in N. VA so I want to avoid freezes. These goji have grown about 8 inches in 3 weeks? They are about to touch the grow light. Any advice?

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microdesk, a leading provider of business and technology consulting services to help firms successfully plan, design, build and operate land and buildings, today unveiled its annual list of the top five architecture, engineering and construction industry predictions for 2013 at Autodesk University. Following a year in which the U.S. saw its long-neglected infrastructure system come to the forefront of national attention with natural disasters such as Hurricane Isaac and Superstorm Sandy, Microdesk predicts that in 2013 there will be a strong focus on implementing sustainable, forward-thinking solutions to rebuild the nation's crumbling roads and bridges.
The top five trends Microdesk predicts that AECO companies should prepare for in the New Year include:
- Rebuilding America: Post-Sandy, technology provides tangible solutions for improvement.
From levee breaches in New Orleans to the flooding of mass transit systems in New York City, it is clear U.S. infrastructure is weak. Rather than putting a band-aid over the problem, the AECO industry must find a new approach to rebuilding that focuses on innovation and technology, and on being proactive not reactive. The tools are available, and in 2013 more firms will turn to visualization and collaborative design processes to strengthen the nation's vital infrastructure systems.
- Regulatory Compliance: Governments envisioning broader uses of BIM will prompt further adoption in the AECO industry.
Despite widespread availability of technology solutions, many firms still rely on old-fashioned design and building processes. To repair this broken, siloed workflow, in 2013 the industry will see greater requirements for BIM as more government agencies develop BIM-based workflows that add efficiencies to design review and regulatory compliance. This influence will trickle down to the rest of the industry and inspire broader adoption at every level.
- The "I" in BIM:
Big Data has been a hot topic in technology for several years, but in 2013, its influence will further infiltrate the AECO industry. BIM will make its way into field operation through purpose-built applications that allow designers and contractors to make informed decisions instantly and manage building data with the end uses of that information in mind. This will allow them to go beyond traditional project delivery by providing accurate, interconnected models that enable more efficient facility operations and maintenance.
- Mobile and the AECO Industry: The use of mobile devices in design, construction and facilities management will become commonplace in 2013.
In 2013, the use of mobile will become an industry standard – so much so that Microdesk believes this will be the last year mobile takes a spot in its predictions. Recent acquisitions by AEC software companies of social and mobile sharing technologies, including Socialcam and Qontext, further point toward this trend. In fact, the use of next-generation technologies will become "table stakes" in 2013 for any firm looking to enable collaboration, design and communication in the field.
- Collaborative Design in the Cloud: A focus on cloud technologies will facilitate improved workflows.
In 2013, the AECO industry will continue to leverage the cloud to make business more flexible and collaborative. Further adoption of cloud technologies that better enable the sharing and integration of data in the design and construction process will result in more efficient buildings, more streamlined construction processes and less waste.
"With several new advances in technology and processes on the horizon, the AECO industry is in a unique position to truly impact how we approach rebuilding our nation's infrastructure," said Michael DeLacey, president of Microdesk. "By continuing to leverage the technologies available - and embracing new technologies - the industry will set new precedents for what's possible in the design and building of roads, bridges, buildings and America's mass transit systems in 2013."
Microdesk's consulting team includes architects, engineers, surveyors, GIS analysts, facility and asset managers, IT experts and software developers. They advise some of the nation's largest architecture, engineering and construction companies, and owners, enabling them to gather valuable insight into how technological innovation has helped AECO firms both succeed in an increasingly competitive market and lay the foundation towards building a stronger infrastructure system in America.
Microdesk is a design technology consultancy that combines the leading software tools from Autodesk, Oracle, Google, Adobe and ESRI, with the latest methods, including Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design & Construction, to provide business and technology consulting services to help firms successfully plan, design, build and operate land and buildings. Microdesk is a member of the Autodesk and ESRI Developer Networks, a leading Autodesk and Oracle Primavera partner, and operates Autodesk and Google Authorized Training Centers. Microdesk has 12 offices nationwide, located in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Chicago and Washington, DC.

When I started writing Design*Sponge at Home, I knew I wanted the book to be as big as possible. And by "big" I mean literally- my goal was to create a seriously hefty (but pretty) design bible that would contain everything I ever wanted a design book to have. At the same time, I wanted to find a way to keep something of that size affordable, so we worked incredibly hard to keep the book costs low and edit closely so the price would be well under that of another book around that size (400+ pages). I was thrilled to finally nail that ratio of large-book-to-affordable-price, but I was even happier when I heard that Barnes & Noble was interested in offering D*S readers a special discount this week: 50% off the book if you pre-order between now and Friday!
Even though we worked hard to keep the price point as low as possible, I know that everyone has budget-concerns and sometimes an extra discount never hurts. So if you go to the Design*Sponge at Home book page at Barnes & Noble today, you can get a 50% discount on the book (400 pages for $17.50) now through end of the day Friday, July 29th (it officially ends at 2:59am EST on July 30th)! For anyone looking for a little bit of a price break, I hope this discount will help.
In addition, Barnes & Noble is giving you a special exclusive sneak peek inside the book! They're sharing four full book spreads including: A gorgeous Brooklyn home tour, a full DIY brick bookend project, two full floral arrangement how-tos and two awesome before & after makeovers! To see the spreads and pre-order with the 50% discount, click here. (You'll see text links to open the book spread images under the section called "NOTE: EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEKS").
Thanks so much to Barnes & Noble for extending this discount to D*S readers and for sharing peeks into more of the book. You can click here to read more about Design*Sponge at Home and check out the fall 2011 book tour schedule. xo, grace

Roman Augustoviz spends Minnesota's winters covering college hockey, specifically the Gophers, and other University of Minnesota sports. During the summer, he writes about the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, with a dose of U sports sprinkled in. Follow him on Twitter @RomanStrib.
Erik Haula, the Gophers leading scorer the past two seasons ready,, was the last one of the big four to turn pro.
I was hoping he would come back to school another season. He could have been the Gophers captain and built upon an already solid career. But he signed an entry level deal with the Wild on April 7.
And in six games with the Houston Aeros, he has no goals and two assists.
The Aeros will play the Grand Rapids Griffins in the first round of the best-of-five Western Conference quarterfinals, starting with two games in Houston. The first is Friday.
So Haula will have at least three more games with Houston before that franchise closes its doors and packs up for Des Moines, Iowa next season.
Here are the numbers of the Gophers who left early or, in one case, was a senior:
Gms G A Pts. +/-
Zach Budish,Milwaukee, AHL 9 1 3 4 +6
* Seth Helgeson, Albany, AHL 4 0 0 0 +2
Erik Haula, F, Houston, AHL 6 0 2 2 +1
Mark Alt, Adirondack, AHL 6 1 1 2 -1
Nate Schmidt, Hersey, AHL 8 1 3 4 -4
Nick Bjugstad, Florida, NHL 8 0 0 0 -6
Totals 41 3 9 12 -2
* Helgeson was the only senior, others were all juniors.
Alt's and Helgeson's teams did not make the AHL playoffs. Bjugstad's Panthers have two regular-season games left and won't make the NHL playoffs.
Budish, Haula and Schmidt are on AHL teams which will be starting the conference playoffs this weekend.
* His signing with the Wild was announced April 7.
* In 114 career games with Gophers, he had 124 points and 42 goals. He was the first Gopher since Ryan Potulny (2003-06) to finish his collegiate career with an average of more than a point a game.
* Haula, of Pori, Finland, improved his offensive numbers each season, from 24 points to 49 with 20 goals, to 51 with 35 assists.
* He was the first 50-point scorer since 2005-06.
* Picked all-WCHA second team
* Picked in seventh round, 182nd overall, of the 2009 NHL entry draft by Wild
NHL draft picks by team in Frozen Four:
5 – St. Cloud State
4 – Yale
3 – UMass Lowell
3 – Quinnipiac

organic orchid care
blulagoonAugust 1, 2010
Does anyone have any experience with growing orchids organicallly? All of the information on orchids I can find reccomends chemical fertilizers and only to use organics "sparingly". I thought about using liquid seaweed and/or fish emulsion(cant stand the smell of the latter,though) greatly diluted of course. I've also thought of of compost tea as well. Any suggestions?

Who'd be a car builder in this environment? Unless you have a tremendous brand (Porsche, Audi, Mercedes) or a truly innovative offering (Tesla,Mercedes again!) I can't see how you won't be squeezed.
Credit is scarcer that '07 fuel is pricier and incomes are lower in real terms. The only way that car makers can turn a profit is to squeeze costs (read suppliers) because no-one is paying full price anymore.
Once again India & China come to the rescue of the auto industry. Many European car makers face a bleak & dismal year ahead, exception being the Germans & perhaps the Italians.
So it clearly forecasts a recession in Japan in 2013...

You know, there was a time when I wanted to change my name to ANYTHING other than SonicRocksMySocks. I thought it up when I was 15 without realizing I'd be saddled with that alias for potentially a lifetime.
When I started gaining renown on the internet, there was even a time where I considered making a new DeviantArt account JUST to change my username, but by then my reputation was already cemented. It's silly and childish and doesn't fit a 20-something artist who is trying to get serious about her art...
Does it?
After working on my 8th DeviantArt anniversary flash and going back to my roots, it sort of dawned on me.
No other username fits me better.
Maybe I was embarrassed of it for a time, but now, after 8 years, there's no way in hell I'd ever be anybody else. My art is ABOUT childhood and youthful spirit, and that's what I remember when I think of my nickname. It reminds me of where I ca

My excellent roommate and friends will be teaching a comics class this semester I will not be teaching it myself (though I might visit from time to time to pester them lol). If you like storytelling and want to create comics with others, this is a place to start! People will work to create 3 comic projects through out the semester, both group and individual comics. These comics will be published online as they are finished.
My roommate helped teach this course spring last year, and it was a great way to get in the practice of drawing in a group, as well as for a deadline. It's also a great way to meet a lot of other people who love comics through the course. (I met my roommate through teaching a digital painting class 2 years ago XD ).

I logged on to dA this morning to find several journals regarding tracing and I knew exactly who they were all directed at...

We spent about two hours there with one of their story artists, Adrian Molina. *u* Although the first 30 minutes we just all sat and talked and ate delicious burritos underneath a gorgeous painting from Toy Story 3.
Then he looked at my portfolio, which he liked quite a bit. He said I was twice as good as he was at my age, but I ought to loosen up my figures. Then he looked at my sketchbook, which he was super impressed with. He said I should just make my portfolio look more like my sketchbook, and I'd be a shoe-in at CalARTs. xD So that was super cool! He's super nice and says to email him with his portfolios or any art or questions and he'll give me suggestions. c:
After lunch he showed us a little bit of the studio (although we weren't allowed anywhere with actual work going on, which was too bad).

Drawing anatomy: how do you learn it?We all know that the human body is perhaps one of the most difficult things to handle properly when we draw. You know when you have that particular pose in your mind that "oh, would fit so well with that character!" but you can't simply make it look ok? T_TDrawing anatomy: how do you learn it?3 years ago in Personal More Like This
The main reason for asking you this is that, despite all the years I've been practicing with anatomy and body proportions, I just haven't found a proper and definitive method of learning yet. I struggle to make the bodies look right but eventually there's always something wrong in the shoulders, the hips, the balance... and, more than anything else, sometimes my characters are, like, frozen in stiff poses! I can feel it very often and this bugs me quite a lot!
What's your favourite method? Is there any particular way you follow to learn how to draw the human body (and this applies for anything else, of course)? Do you prefer to look at guidebooks or to copy someone else's artwork? Do you like to attend real-life classes or do

Thought it would've been good for me to take a mental break from it. It was stressing me out beyond belief. You all know I've been struggling with an art block for a good time now. And again I apologize for the lack of activity. But really, the more I tried to force myself to draw, the more difficult it became. I had gotten to the point to where I'd literally have a mental/emotional breakdown just from trying to sketch out something in my sketchbooks. Horrible. Simply awful.
You also know that I have mental illness. So that coupling the stress of trying to be productive was starting to get to me. I haven't enjoyed drawing in a very long time. Well, it's not that I haven't been enjoying it. I seem to have just, lost the meaning and reason as to WHY I do it. I've realized that the reasons I once had upon a time, the passions I had... they

The person off that show you used to watch every week, as soon as it came out, or that band you used to love.

Justice League: The Flashpoint ParadoxOver the last few months I have been getting a lot of questions here on DA about what my next project would be and when it might be announced and released. Also, I am thrilled to say, that a lot of you awesome friends and fans have expressed the idea that following Young Justice, you would like to see more DC animation work from me. Well I am happy to reveal that the next project featuring my design work is the recently announced Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, directed by the super talented Jay Oliva, and it will hit the streets on July 30th. I did the designs for this film last spring and summer (after production wrapped on YJ: Invasion) and we just finished post production on the project last month. I gotta say that thanks to all the tremendous talent involved in making this thing, it's looking pretty epic. I personally pushed my style into a slightly more exaggerated look for much of this film and I hope those of you who dug the look of Young Justice will get a kick out ofJustice League: The Flashpoint Paradox2 years ago in Personal More Like This

One of the prevailing themes of the new movie, apparently, is that everything is predestined. April was predestined to meet the turtles, and the turtles were predestined to become mutants. Everyone is connected to everyone else in ways that are flabbergastingly stupid. So much for random chance creating the turtles... Another theme is that this is more or less April O' Neil's movie. Not the ninja turtles. April is the main character. April is the focus of the film. The turtles are there, but they're side characters in the same way the Autobots were side characters in the Transformers films.
The reason I'm bringing this up here now before the film is even out is because... well... I want it to fail. That's a little selfish, I know, but I honestly don

Yesh, people! I'm going to go on what I would like to call a Transformers Prime marathon! I have missed watching the previous episodes and I enjoyed watching it very much. I've got my first DVD "Darkness Rising" to begin with without having to go through my laptop and watch it by skipping through the credits and onto the next episode. Plus it doesn't have those commercial break cuts, so that will be enjoyable. It's like watching a SUPER LOOOONG movie! XD
By all means, I'd be crazy to do this, but this is what happens when I'm extremely bored to the ltter. I was thinking about watching TFC. But for some strange reason, I can't seem to watch it anymore after being exposed to TFP for so long. Yup... it's weird. I do miss watching Transformers: Cybertron, but it's kind of hard to not laugh at the hilarious CGI (same with Beast Wars/Beast Machines) and compare it to the beauty of Transformers Prime.
I dunno what happened there, but I guess

- Railways In Rome
RFI International Competition2nd Place
- As the Italian Rail Network (RFI) suffers from severe congestion in major traffic zones with delays in travel time, it set forth to strengthen the system and optimize its capacity by making funding available for a high speed network. The international competition, introduced by RFI, seeks for ideas on how to treat regional and metropolitan train stations and stops occurring through out the rail network.
This project proposes a modular system that considers passenger traffic with connection to platforms via tunnels and fly-overs and treatment of components such as waiting areas, kiosks, and benches. Because there is such a potential for mass distribution of these design scenarios it was important to notice how an element can be successfully repeated and still share in an individual's identity, and how those implications affect the identity of the town/city in Italy by a rail way station.
Design of the elements is simultaneously considered on levels of: economy affecting fabrication, scale distribution, customization, site integration, integrity and comfort. Each Station has the potential to have a specific identity and share a familiarity for the regional and the metropolitan stops.
The initiatives for both the regional and the metropolitan stops are inherently agile, and sensitive to defining and maintaining an authentic sense of place. With a prescriptive deployment; the singular modules turn into threads that spatially weave each scale of platforms simultaneously. Customization becomes a method of identity for a lasting assembly that envelopes an innovative sense of arrival and place for the future stops throughout Italy.
