The Bachelor of Visual Arts offered at SCA is a practical, hands-on degree focused on developing conceptual, theoretical and technical skills. These are the skills you will need to transform ideas into art, succeed as a practising artist, or flourish in a range of careers in the creative industries.
From the outset, you will be encouraged to work across disciplinary boundaries in order to find ways to realise your ideas. You will be given a thorough grounding in the skills and history of your chosen major.
The course is available in six disciplinary majors. You may choose to major in Painting, Photomedia, Screen Arts, Sculpture (including ceramics and glass), Printmedia or Jewellery and Object. You may also complete a second major in Critical Studies. Each major is underpinned by the teaching of rigorous theory and critical skills.
Our top-performing students have the option of undertaking an extra year of study, known as an honours year. If you take an honours year, you will have the opportunity to pursue a substantial research project in a one-on-one supervisory relationship with a member of our academic staff.
You will be taught by practising artists, writers and curators, whose extensive professional experience and arts industry networks – including contacts in galleries and museums – will be of enormous benefit to you as a student.
The course provides a strong emphasis on theory and history, helping you to refine your research and critical skills, and enabling you to realise the full potential of your creative projects. Importantly, we offer excellent studio facilities, workshops and digital laboratories to support your learning across all discipline areas.
During your time at SCA you will take field trips and excursions to leading art institutions, meet with practising artists, writers, curators and academics, attend artist talks, and participate in exhibitions and other creative industries events. At the end of your studies you will exhibit your work in the annual SCA Undergraduate Degree Show, a showcase of graduating students' works, exhibited across the Rozelle campus.
The Bachelor of Visual Arts can be taken as a three-year full-time course, or a six-year part-time course. Our unique, part-time pathway makes the study of visual arts even more accessible.
If you decide to study part-time, you will engage with a dedicated curriculum that is unlike any other Australian art school's part-time course in the visual arts.
Our flexible course structure allows you to build a course in contemporary art that is adapted to your personal strengths and aspirations. The suite of electives on offer means that you can take electives both at SCA as well as across other faculties of the University of Sydney, transforming the degree to suit your interests
This flexibility will allow you to keep your career choices open until the conclusion of your studies. Upon graduating, you will be equipped with the conceptual and technical skills required to work as a contemporary artist, or to establish an art, media or design practice.
You will also be well-qualified to work in a wide range of other culture-related fields, including art education and administration, curation, website and interactive design, and publishing.
Above all, you will emerge from the course as an expert in developing artistic and creative responses to the big issues driving contemporary society.
You will have the option of completing a second major in Critical Studies. Critical Studies provides the theoretical concepts and historical context which are required for an in-depth understanding of contemporary art practice.
In Critical Studies you will be immersed in current themes and debates in contemporary art, and exposed to individual artists' practices. You will be provided with the analytical tools required to inform your practice, make sense of the art world, and develop your critical voice.
You will undertake research, engage in seminars, discussion groups and online forums, visit and review exhibitions, and write catalogue and other analytical essays. You will be encouraged to apply these critical skills to your own work and to that of other artists, writers, and curators.
By completing a second major in Critical Studies, you will be qualified to establish a career in a variety of arts professions, including contemporary art curating, art criticism, arts management, and art education (with additional postgraduate qualifications).
A second major in Critical Studies will also give you a distinct advantage when applying for postgraduate degrees in fine arts and related fields such as museum studies and art curating, because it provides you with high-level analytical, research and writing skills in art history and theory.
Jewellery and Object operates in a vibrant cultural space which has sprung from the expanded field of contemporary jewellery and metalsmithing.
The Jewellery and Object major explores concepts and techniques fundamental to the making of human-scale works. Building on formal metalsmithing skills, broad experimentation is encouraged with the aim of developing a rich and individual visual language.
You will engage in conceptual and practical investigations through projects designed to develop ideas and expression, while acquiring technical and material knowledge.
By providing an introduction to a diverse range of materials and processes, the course encourages work of both a utilitarian and conceptual nature. Your work may take the form of exhibition pieces, small runs of production work, design for manufacture, or commissioned art works for a range of contexts including the gallery, shop and street.
Jewellery and Object graduates become practising artists such as jewellers and object designers, producing exhibition work, as well as establishing production lines. The skills and knowledge they acquire are transferable across disciplines and media. They also enjoy careers in a wide range of art, design and culture-related fields including art education, arts administration, arts writing, curating, set and exhibition design, public art and product design.
By choosing to major in Painting, you will learn about historical and contemporary concepts and techniques. You will undertake focused and self-initiated projects in which you will explore painting as a contemporary practice. Painting is impacted by such elements as the object itself, the colour and surface, installation and arrangement, the idea of the 'readymade', typography, photography and digital processes.
The Painting major concentrates on an understanding of materials and how to use them, of representational and non-objective art, and of the intellectual possibilities inherent in the conception, production and display of contemporary art. As your studies progress, you will be encouraged to develop an individual approach and to set out parameters to create an independent practice.
In Painting, we believe that the purpose of providing technical instruction is to equip you with the tools to realise your ideas and concepts. Our open approach to teaching has produced a wide variety of successful practitioners, from photorealists to performance artists, as well as other art professionals such as curators and writers.
Painting graduates become practising artists such as painters, printmakers or sculptors. They also enjoy careers in a wide range of art, design and culture-related fields including art education, arts administration, arts writing, curating, set and exhibition design, public art, product design and publishing.
Through the Photomedia major you will be exposed to digital and analogue forms of still photography, as well as moving image, photo-installation and mixed media. As a rapidly changing medium, photography is especially rich in creative possibilities to engage with concepts and ideas.
As a Photomedia student, you will explore contemporary photography practices including social media, documentary photography, the relationship between the still and moving image, and many other areas of interest.
Photomedia fosters individual interpretations and aesthetic development, and offers the acquisition of technical skills and an enhanced engagement with research.
The course encourages intellectual and aesthetic development as well as the acquisition of appropriate skills. You will take a combination of technical instruction, research-driven assignments, group and individual work.
While you will initially work in response to assignments, you will be expected to exercise an increasing degree of specialisation and self-direction when you become a senior student.
Photomedia includes instruction in digital photomedia, chemical photography and alternative methods and processes.
Photomedia graduates become practising artists such as photographers or multimedia designers. They also enjoy careers in a wide range of art, design and culture-related fields including art education, arts administration, arts writing, curating, public art, digital imaging, commercial photography, film, stop motion animation, the multimedia industry and publishing.
Printmedia is focused on new work emerging from the rich conjunction of media, old and new, at the heart of the contemporary visual landscape. Drawing, photography, collage and digital imaging are the key creative mediums used in the studio.
The Printmedia major explores the use of digital and traditional print processes within a contemporary visual arts context. Work produced in the studio ranges from fine art prints to comics, from electronic publications to screenprinted garments, and from installation to large format digital prints.
The course has a well-developed digital component that covers key contemporary design programs, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Flash.
You will be expected to work in an independent and exploratory way, developing your own ideas through a process of experimentation, research and creative intuition.
The course is structured around a series of studio projects, which will encourage you to develop your work and creative thinking within a contemporary art and design context.
Printmedia graduates become practising artists such as printmakers, painters, designers, publishers or sculptors. They also enjoy careers in a wide range of art, design and culture- related fields including art education, arts administration, arts writing, curating, set and exhibition design, public art and product design.
The Screen Arts major offers a comprehensive introduction to the media of digital film and video, sound, animation and interactive media in the context of contemporary art and cinematic practice.
Screen Arts encourages and supports the development of individual projects that have distinctive conceptual, aesthetic and technical outcomes. This includes instruction in the use of film and video cameras, location and studio sound recording techniques, location and studio lighting, digital editing and motion graphics.
You will be encouraged to explore and experiment with a wide range of media and technology. Your productions can include film, video or interactive works, animation,documentaries or experimental projects, sound or multi- screen installations.
The elective streams will enable you to acquire skills, knowledge and expertise across a range of processes including digital effects and compositing, digital editing, animation techniques, sound design for film and digital media, and screenwriting.
Screen Arts graduates become practising artists such as video artists, filmmakers, sound artists, or interactive and multimedia designers. They also enjoy careers in a wide range of art, design and culture-related fields including art education, arts administration, arts writing, curating, set and exhibition design, and public art.
The Sculpture major allows you to explore a broad range of approaches to contemporary sculptural practice, including ceramics and glass.
Sculpture is designed to support an expanded and inventive relationship to art-making. The flexible structure of the program will allow you to explore temporal and spatial approaches to sculptural practice, involving installations, environments, objects, structures, site-specific and public art, performance, film, video and audio works.
As a Sculpture student, you will create unique objects using the well- equipped glass, ceramic, timber and metal workshops. You will also realise your creative ideas in performances, installations, moving images and in socially engaged projects where interaction and participation outside the gallery context are key elements.
You will be assisted to develop creative ideas, intellectual autonomy and the problem-solving and technical skills that underpin a successful contemporary art practice.
You will be encouraged to experiment and critically reflect on your work when it is presented for group critique in studio meetings.
Sculpture graduates become practising artists such as sculptors, ceramicists and glassmakers. They also enjoy careers in a wide range of art, design and culture-related fields including art education, arts administration, arts writing, curating, set and exhibition design, public art and product design.
The best thing about studying at SCA is the guidance that you get from the academic staff. You get to learn from people who are working artists and art scholars, who not only help you with your own art practice, but can also give you valuable advice for entering the professional art industry.
The Bachelor of Visual Arts lets you explore aspects of multiple disciplines if you want to, which I think is an important thing for an artist to do in the current age.
Brenton Alexander Smith's work deals with the use and misuse of technology, often involving the creation or adaption of dysfunctional machines that hinder the user, or behave in an absurd fashion. Other times he will explore aspects of technology (particularly cyberspace) in unusual ways in order to understand them.

Studying at SCA provides opportunity and encouragement to experiment and explore your own practice in a stimulating environment. Having teachers who are also artists that I admire is very inspiring and they manage to push me in positive and motivating ways.
Laura Moore works with photo media in both still and screen-based works. Photography as a medium is fundamental to her practice. Before Laura began studying at SCA, she worked as a commercial photographer and photojournalist. Photography was her original interest and has always played an important roll in her life and work. When she was in her late teens, another photographer told her that, "If I couldn't take a decent picture in my own backyard, I shouldn't be a photographer." This comment has stayed with her ever since. Not that she literally takes pictures of her backyard, but her work is often inspired and informed by everyday life, observations and memory. She tries to be a good observer and that includes introspection. Art has given Laura a reason to examine everything more closely than she might otherwise. This method of working usually results in very personal content, but her ultimate intention is for the work to expand beyond its autobiographical nature and offer an invitation to speculation and projection.

The first year of the Bachelor of Visual Arts (BVA) degree offers a mixture of interdisciplinary subjects that introduces you to various approaches to contemporary art.
From the second year, you will undertake study in a selected major each semester. The options are Painting, Photomedia, Screen Arts, Sculpture, Printmedia, Jewellery and Object.
In addition to your disciplinary major, you will select and complete four units of study from the Critical Studies suite.
You can take the Advanced Critical Studies unit in the last semester, which allows you to undertake extended research on a topic of your choice.
You will also complete four elective units of study chosen from a suite of Sydney College of the Arts studio-style electives, the Critical Studies suite, or other faculties' units of study.
A major is a defined sequence of study, generally comprising specified units of study in a particular discipline area.
An elective is an optional unit of study within a degree. Electives in the BVA enable you to tailor your study to your desired outcomes.
The flexible course structure of the BVA allows you to keep your career choices open throughout your studies.
The course provides you with the conceptual and technical skills to work as a contemporary artist, or to establish an art, media or design practice.
You will also be well-qualified to work in a wide range of other culture-related fields, including art education and administration, curation, website and interactive design, and publishing.
If eligible, you can apply for the Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours), or postgraduate coursework study in contemporary art or moving image. Honours graduates are eligible to pursue a higher degree by research.
The Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) gives you the opportunity to extend your potential in studio-based and written research.
To be eligible, you need to have qualified for, or been awarded, an undergraduate degree in visual arts with a weighted average mark across intermediate and senior units of at least 65.
As an honours candidate, you may continue to work in the same discipline as your bachelor's degree or undertake research in a different discipline. You can nominate to study either by studio practice and research paper, or by dissertation.
Honours focuses on establishing your individual research practice, further equipping you for entry into professional practice, the Master of Fine Arts, or Doctor of Philosophy programs.

A panel will assess your portfolio on the basis of your: critical skills; cultural awareness; communication skills; potential for skill development; evidence of resolved ideas; and creative thinking.
For more information you can contact the Future Student Contact Centre on 1800 SYD UNI (1800 793 864) (within Australia), +61 2 8627 1444 (outside Australia) or email via online enquiry to: sydney.edu.au/ask-international (for international students only)
Ancillary expenses are some of the additional costs associated with your degree, to ensure you have access to the best and most affordable materials during your studies.
As a first-year student, you will be required to pay $250 at enrolment to cover materials used in studio project assignments. Other required materials are your responsibility.
In second and third year, you need to provide your own materials and basic tools, which include personal protective equipment (PPE).
If you are enrolling in an elective, you might be required to pay an extra fee or purchase additional materials.
In your final year, you will be required to make a contribution towards the cost of the Degree Show exhibition and catalogue.
A portfolio presents a sample of your artistic interests and explorations. It is carefully and thoughtfully arranged, and documents your ideas, experiments, skills and the process you use to make your work. We want to see your portfolio because we need to gain an understanding of who you are – your abilities, commitment and passions. Your portfolio tells us about the kind of artist you want to be.
Choose up to 10 different pieces to display. When you pick a portfolio format, make sure it presents each piece in the best way possible, and takes into account how you will transport and display your work in an interview.
No two portfolios are the same and, because we are a contemporary art school, we know each of our applicants will have an individual style. The choices you make in compiling your portfolio will give us some insight into the type of work and ideas you value, and the creative approaches that have inspired you to focus on visual art studies.
In most cases, you will be there to present your work to the panel during your interview, so think of it as a platform for a conversation about yourself. Which work will help you talk about your artistic interests? Are there pieces that will show us your ability to stick to a project even if it was challenging? What will show us that you are motivated to work hard and are not afraid to take risks?
Sometimes it is better to have a small number of very strong work than a large selection that includes some weaker pieces. Variety can be important, but don't leave out good work just to make room for something in a different media or style.
We are very interested in any self- initiated work you may have, or projects you have developed outside your course or your classes. If you worked on these projects with other people, make sure you are clear about your role in the collaboration and acknowledge the contributions of others.
We are asking you to show us who you are, and that you want to learn, investigate and develop ideas.
Try to include some work that displays a larger investment of time and effort. This might be clear because of the way you constructed the work, or the materials you sourced. It might be apparent from the story you can tell about the process, and through your support material.
Sketchbooks are a good way to illustrate ideas, plans and experiments, and show us how you think. If you have recorded your ideas in a visual diary or notebook, bring it to the interview. Your panel will be interested to see how you develop your initial ideas through research and by trying things out. Not everything in your portfolio needs to be a finished, polished work.
Through this process, you'll be able to show us that you are able to make your ideas come to life, and that you can communicate them well.
During your interview, we will listen to the way you talk about projects. You can support this conversation by showing us work that has a clear or inventive connection between your ideas and the materials and process you used to express them.
A portfolio is always a work in progress. As you develop as an artist, you will edit and refine your portfolio over and over again. The work in your portfolio is always just a sample of your experience and capabilities.
If you can't present your portfolio at an interview, please include a short statement (no more than one typed page) describing some of the more developed projects in your portfolio. Include information about the ideas and processes involved in generating the work. Write some details of whatever activities or experiences support your creative interests, and what you hope to achieve through your studies at SCA.
Every year we run several Portfolio Development Days on campus. We encourage you to bring your portfolio along, even though you might not have selected or finished all the works.
We will look at your portfolio in progress and make recommendations about what to include and how to present it.
But you should get started before then!
Assembling your work can take time, so start early and get some feedback from your art teacher or another art professional. Get as much work together as you can, and then edit.
Think about the placement and order of the work. You should begin and end with your best work.
We are happy to see the actual work, but this might not be practical if the work is big or delicate, or is no longer in your possession. Taking digital photographs is a standard way to document your work – you just need to make sure you have chosen the most suitable format. For example, 3D work might require documentation from more than one viewpoint.
Alternatively, you might have a series of artworks, in which case you can provide digital images of each element of the series. Check the colour, lighting and clarity of your photographs so that we don't miss important details. And make sure the digital files are formatted and sized appropriately.
We see portfolios in many styles and it is not necessary to purchase a black portfolio case or mount your photographs on display boards. Keep in mind that you will need to transport everything to SCA for your interview. You can provide up to ten (10) examples in the following ways:
Actual examples of your work
Digital photographs of your work (JPG or PDF) page layouts, illustration, digital photography (JPG or PDF). Individual files should be less than 1MB for each image or, if you make a PDF with multiple images, it should be less than 10MB
Website/s (please provide the site address/es in a Word or PDF document
Excerpts of film, animation or digital video work (.MOV). Make sure each film is less than 20M
website or other dedicated site such as a Vimeo channel (please bring the site address in a Word or PDF document)
If you are still unsure, bring your portfolio to one of SCA's Portfolio Development Days
At SCA, we interview our applicants for admission to our degrees because we strongly believe that it is the best way to find out about you as an individual, about your art, and about your passion and commitment. It gives us a much better picture than a single score can provide.
The interview process also gives you the opportunity to check us out. An art school can be a fantastic fit for one student but not for another. The interview gives you the chance to visit our campus, meet our wonderful staff and get a feel for our faculty. It's an essential step in ensuring that your future studies are undertaken at the art school that is right for you.
Our interview panel wants to confirm that you are able to communicate your creative ideas, and are serious about your future as an artist.
There are four broad areas that the panel will ask you about:
Your commitment
Your cultural awareness
Your intellectual and critical thinking skills
Your communication skills
The panel will ask you some simple questions to assess you in relation to each of these areas. On the subject of commitment, you might be asked why you want to come to SCA or what you want to do when you finish art school.
To assess your cultural awareness, the panel might ask you which books you have been reading, which exhibitions or films you have seen in the last year, and what you thought of them.
Where intellectual and critical thinking skills are concerned, the panel will assess your analytical ability as well as your openness to new ideas and concepts. You might be asked to describe your most significant achievements over the last two years. Alternatively, the panel might choose a piece in your portfolio and ask you to explain how you went about creating it.
The assessment of your communication skills will come down to how capable you are of clearly articulating the work in your portfolio, as well as your motivation and your enthusiasm for studying and making art.
A general tip for your interview: the more honest you are about your dreams for your future and your hopes for your education, the better we'll be able to ensure that SCA is the right fit for you.
You will be given a one-hour timeslot to be here at SCA. At the beginning, we will divide the applicants into small groups. As a member of one of those groups, we will speak to you about the degree and the admissions process. This will happen before your interview so that valuable interview time is not be taken up with the provision of this basic information.
The interview will take about 15 minutes and will be conducted by a panel consisting of two or three members of our academic staff.
Bring your portfolio to the interview and be prepared to talk about your work in detail.
The interview panel will want to know about your ideas, what you are interested in, and which works in your portfolio you believe are more successful than others, and why. The interview will also give you the chance to ask questions about us.
There's no need to be nervous. Think of your interview as a unique advantage and an opportunity to show and tell us that you're the one we want.
If you're a domestic student and you still need more information, you can Ask a Question through the Sydney Student Form.
International Students are able to make enquiries through International Services.

Brown's Hot Shooting Leads FGCU to Win At USC Upstate
Sophomore helps Eagles sink program Division 1 record 14 threes
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Led by a career-high 26 points from sophomore Sherwood Brown (Orlando, Fla./Olympia HS) and a Division I school record 14 three-pointers as a team, Florida Gulf Coast closed its 2010-11 campaign with a 81-65 Atlantic Sun win over USC Upstate on Monday night at the Hodge Center.
On the strength of its 14-of-21 night from three-point land, FGCU picks up its fourth win in the last five games to close out the season. The Eagles conclude the year with a 10-20 overall record and a 7-13 mark in conference play to finish in seventh place. The win also completed a season sweep of Upstate, the third team the Eagles have swept this year.
Brown's game-high 26 points came on the heels of back-to-back 18-point outings, which at the time were career-highs. Brown scored 15 points in the first half – the most by an Eagle in the opening 20 minutes this season – and featured a 7-of-10 night from three, the most threes by an Eagle in a Division I contest.
The 14-of-21 night from three translated in a .667 shooting percentage, equaling program all-time record for a game with double figure makes. The previous record of .667 was set on Dec. 20, 2003 when the Eagles made 12-of-18 against Illinois Wesleyan. FGCU's 14 threes are the second-most in school history, falling short of the record of 16 made against Fairmont State on Jan. 22, 2005.
"Prior to the game, we talked about tonight being a special night," said head coach Dave Balza. "It turned out to be exactly that with all the threes, Chad (Lutkenhaus) playing his final game, winning our fourth game in the last five and closing the season in seventh place in the standings. With most of our guys coming back, next year promises to be very exciting."
Freshman Christophe Varidel (Versoix, Switzerland/Worcester Academy) had a large hand in the long range barrage, making 4-of-7 from three en route to 16 points. Varidel knocked down 78 threes in his first season in the Blue and Green, the fourth-highest total in the nine-year program history.
Playing in the 112th and final game of his career, senior Chad Lutkenhaus (Labelle, Fla./Labelle HS) knocked down 2-of-3 from long range for six points. Lutkenhaus is the only player to be a member of the team in each of the Eagles' first four years in Division I.
Despite its torrid shooting from outside, FGCU was still able to grab double figure offensive rebounds for the 26th time this season. Entering the contest as the A-Sun's top offensive rebounding club, the Eagles snared 10 offensive caroms, led by four from sophomore Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla./Santaluces HS).
Banks' four offensive rebounds cap a season in which he gave the Eagles 106 opportunities at second chance points. The Lantana, Fla. native finished with 17 points on 6-of-10 from the field and 5-of-5 from the charity stripe to go along with his nine rebounds. Banks scored in double figures 27 times this season.
FGCU used three-pointers early and often to open up a 14-5 lead by the 12:16 mark of the opening half. Varidel started the three-point barrage for the Eagles, who scored their first 12 points from long range. Brown followed with his first of five threes in the half, while Lutkenhaus and freshman Chase Fieler (Parkersburg, W. Va./Parkersburg South) each hit one. Banks ended the hot start with the team's first two-point field goal.
The FGCU lead reached as high as nine, 17-8, just over a minute later (11:03) before a quick 7-0 run by the Spartans made it a 17-15 count with 9:39 on the clock.
Brown broke Upstate's momentum, of course, with a three, sparking a string of four long range field goals for the 6-foot-4 swingman over the final 9:28 of the frame. Despite Brown's torrid shooting, USC Upstate tied the game at 33-33 with under a minute to go.
Brown struck again, though, drilling his fifth three of the half for his 15th point to give FGCU a 36-33 lead at the half. The Blue and Green knocked down 9-of-14 from three-point land over the opening 20 minutes.
The start of the second half was eerily similar to the first, as Brown helped the Eagles jump out to an eventual game-clinching 13-0 run that ballooned the lead to 16, 49-33, with 13:51 on the clock. As the Spartans went without a point for the opening 6:24, Brown drilled a trio of three-pointers and scored 11 points during the run.
Upstate closed the gap to six, 68-62 with just over two minutes left, but the Eagles closed by making 6-of-8 free throws in the final two minutes and 19-of-25 for the game.
Junior Marlon Rivera (Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico/Sagemont HS/Santa Fe CC) helped manufacture the big shooting night with a game-high seven assists. Rivera's seven helpers give him 161 for the season, as he finished the regular season as the conference leader.
To say Brown turned in a strong last five games of his sophomore season would be an understatement, as the Orlando, Fla. product averaged 16.2 points over the span after producing just 4.9 points over the first 25 contests. Brown led the Eagles in scoring three times, while setting or equaling his career-high on three occasions.
Despite finishing in sole possession of seventh place in the final A-Sun standings, FGCU cannot compete in the conference postseason tournament due to the NCAA reclassifying period. FGCU will be eligible for postseason play in 2011-12.

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 4, the 339th day of 2012. There are 27 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Dec. 4, 1619, a group of settlers from Bristol, England, arrived at Berkeley Hundred in present-day Charles City County, Va., where they held a service thanking God for their safe arrival. (Some suggest this was the true first Thanksgiving in America, ahead of the Pilgrims' arrival in Massachusetts.)
On this date:
In 1942, U.S. bombers struck the Italian mainland for the first time in World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the dismantling of the Works Progress Administration, which had been created to provide jobs during the Depression.
In 1978, San Francisco got its first female mayor as City Supervisor Dianne Feinstein was named to replace the assassinated George Moscone a five-day hijack drama began as four armed men seized a Kuwaiti airliner en route to Pakistan and forced it to land in Tehran, where the hijackers killed American passenger Charles Hegna.
In 1991, Associated Press correspondent Terry Anderson, the longest held of the Western hostages in Lebanon, was released after nearly seven years in captivity.
Ten years ago: United Airlines lost its bid for $1.8 billion in federal loan guarantees, a major setback to the nation's second-largest air carrier in its efforts to avoid bankruptcy. Supreme Court justices heard arguments on whether federal laws intended to combat organized crime and corruption could be used against anti-abortion demonstrators. (The Court later ruled that such laws were improperly used to punish abortion opponents.)
Five years ago: Defending his credibility, President George W. Bush said Iran was dangerous and needed to be squeezed by international pressure despite a U.S. intelligence finding that Tehran had halted its nuclear weapons program four years earlier. The intelligence report on Iran figured in a Democratic debate on National Public Radio as rivals assailed front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton for voting in favor of a Senate resolution designating Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Pimp C (Chad Butler), a rapper with the Texas hip-hop group Underground Kingz, was found dead in a hotel room in Los Angeles; he was 33.
One year ago: Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party hung onto its majority in Russia's parliamentary election, but faced accusations from opponents of rigging the vote. Rafael Nadal recovered from a terrible start and beat Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (0) to give Spain its fifth Davis Cup title. After going more than two years and 26 tournaments without a victory, Tiger Woods won the Chevron World Challenge. Former Hewlett-Packard chairwoman Patricia Dunn, 58, died in Orinda, Calif.
Thought for Today: "Many are called but few get up." -- Oliver Herford, American author (1863-1935).

A few years ago, okay 4 1/2 years ago (where does the time go!!)I got to take a girls weekend with my best friend to NYC to celebrate my 30th birthday! A few weeks later my husband lost his job, so I'm so grateful I went when I did because it's not going to happen again for a long time! ANYWAY! While we were there we went to Serendipity to try the Frozen Hot Chocolate!
It was served in a giant bowl just like this one, in a plate overflowing! It was great and I KNEW I could make my own version. SO I went home and played around with using ice cream, using ice and a blender and using the ice cream maker. I found that the Ice cream maker created the BEST texture. Then I tweaked my homemade hot chocolate recipe to figure out what crystallized best.

The pain officially began Thursday, just after 2 p.m., when the NHL made another lockout official with the cancellation of all regular-season games through Oct. 24. For Bruins fans, that took this Thursday's season opener in Philadelphia off the docket, as well as the first game on Causeway Street, Oct. 18 vs. the Canadiens.
In total, six of Boston's 82 games were vaporized in the steam of the NHL-NHLPA brewing acrimony. At the moment, 82 of 1,230 games have been wiped out.

Gallery: Pinball wizard from Burnley hosts competition in his home
4:18pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News
A PINBALL enthusiast hosted the latest instalment of the UK League – in his East Lancashire home.
Around 50 competitors from as far away as Scotland turned up at Mark Robinson's home, on the Kibble Bank estate, in Burnley, for the contest, where they were treated to exclusive use of two of the rarest machines in the country.
Mark, who has an enormous games room to house his 11 pinball machines, said everybody had been really looking forward to playing on the Wizard of Oz and The Avengers tables.
He said: "This was definitely the first time, at least in the UK, maybe in the world, that both of these machines have been used.
"We were really lucky and it was very exciting.
"A lot of the people who came had not seen these machines before.
"I have been into pinball for a long time.
"It is a really good game. A lot of people have been playing it on the Xbox and are wanting to go onto real machines."
As so many people attended, the winner of the day is not yet known.
Mark, a 50-year-old father-of-two and self-employed electrician, got his first pinball machine nine years ago, and joined the UK Pinball League five years ago.
He said machines ranged from around £350 for older models, to £5,000 for new ones.
He said: "Over the years, I have spent a lot of money.
"But when I started buying them it was not as popular."
Mark said younger people were now becoming more interested in taking part in the league.
He said: "It is getting more popular now.
"We had people in their 20s take part.
"Even my three-year-old granddaughter is always asking to play pinball.
"I am not really a good player, to be honest, I just enjoy the social side.
"It is all just about having a good time."
The UK Pinball League was set up in 2006 and was the first pinball league in the country.
It is split into four regional sections – South West, Midlands, London and South East, and Northern.
Members of each division take it in turns to host competitions in their house.
A symbol of rebellion
- Pinball was developed from the game of bagatelle, which was popular in France in the 18th Century
- The game was banned from the early 1940s to the mid-1970s in most of America's big cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago because it was seen as gambling
- Because it was illegal for so long, it became a symbol of youth and rebellion in Hollywood movies.
- It is understood the best-selling pinball machine of all time is "The Addams Family," which came out in 1991.
- Playboy director Hugh Hefner, below, is reported to be a massive fan.
- Rock band The Who released a song called Pinball Wizard in 1969. It reached number four in the charts and spawned a rock opera musical with Elton John about the "deaf, dumb and blind kid who sure played a mean pinball."

From the blog post, it just looks like instagram for the desktop — not impressive at all. Perhaps some words about filter remixing or other features would've helped.
Is camerabag 2 compatible with iPhoto? Will I be able to edit my photos on camerabag 2 and save them back into iPhoto?
Because, I really like the organizing features of iPhoto, and would love to start editing my photos with this new software too!!

At the Melbourne conference I recall Andrew Walker posed the question whether there have been any precendents of such seditious narratives. It made me think of the anti-royalist cartoons that flourished in the Thai press during the 1920s. And on re-reading Scot Barme's fascinating "Woman, Man, Bangkok" he mentions the cartoonist Sem who "wrote at length about six different varieties of hia found in Siam and produced a related series of cartoons. In these Sem identified a number of the highest placed men in the land as hia" [p117]

So of my detractors might have a heart attack, but I think Thaksin crying about not receiving justice is pretty pathetic, especially when I think he did use those same instruments of power to protect himself and his cronies while he was in power.
If Thais themselves can't catch their rivals for vote buying, what chances the international observers would have?
This really is the proper blog for anyone who wants to uncover out about this subject. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You surely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Fantastic stuff, just great!

Second, while I can certainly notice a leaps in reason you make, I am not really convinced of just how you seem to unite your ideas which inturn make your conclusion. For the moment I shall yield to your point but trust in the near future you actually connect your dots much better.

Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation in part of your digestive tract.
Like Crohn's disease, another common IBD, ulcerative colitis can be debilitating and sometimes can lead to life-threatening complications. Because ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition, symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly.
Ulcerative colitis usually affects only the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. It occurs only through continuous stretches of your colon, unlike Crohn's disease, which occurs anywhere in the digestive tract and often spreads deeply into the affected tissues.
There's no known cure for ulcerative colitis, but therapies are available that may dramatically reduce the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis and even bring about a long-term remission.
Ulcerative colitis symptoms can vary, depending on the severity of inflammation and where it occurs. For these reasons, doctors often classify ulcerative colitis according to its location.
Here are the signs and symptoms that may accompany ulcerative colitis, depending on its classification:
The course of ulcerative colitis varies, with periods of acute illness often alternating with periods of remission. But over time, the severity of the disease usually remains the same. Most people with a milder condition, such as ulcerative proctitis, won't go on to develop more-severe signs and symptoms.
See your doctor if you experience a persistent change in your bowel habits or if you have any of the signs and symptoms of ulcerative colitis, such as:
Although ulcerative colitis usually isn't fatal, it's a serious disease that, in some cases, may cause life-threatening complications.
Like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in your intestine. But unlike Crohn's, which can affect the colon in various, separate sections, ulcerative colitis usually affects one continuous section of the inner lining of the colon beginning with the rectum.
No one is quite sure what triggers ulcerative colitis, but there's a consensus as to what doesn't. Researchers no longer believe that stress is the main cause, although stress can often aggravate symptoms. Instead, current thinking focuses on the following possibilities:
Ulcerative colitis affects about the same number of women and men. Risk factors may include:
Isotretinoin use. Isotretinoin is a medication sometimes used to treat scarring cystic acne or acne that doesn't respond to other treatments. It used to be sold under the brand name Accutane, but that brand has been discontinued, and it's now sold under the brand names Amnesteem, Claravis and Sotret.
There is conflicting information as to whether isotretinoin use can increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Some studies have suggested a possible link, while other studies have found no such evidence. The question of whether or not there is a link is further complicated by research that suggests a possible connection between the use of tetracycline class antibiotics and the development of IBD. Many people who have been treated with isotretinoin for acne also have received tetracyclines as part of their acne therapy. Studies that have examined the possible link between isotretinoin and IBD have not addressed the question of whether antibiotics used for acne may have played a role in increasing risk.
Possible complications of ulcerative colitis include:
If you suspect that you have ulcerative colitis, you're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, you may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in digestive disorders (gastroenterologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions ahead of time can help you make the most of your time. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For ulcerative colitis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor will likely diagnose ulcerative colitis only after ruling out other possible causes for your signs and symptoms, including Crohn's disease, ischemic colitis, infection, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis and colon cancer. To help confirm a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, you may have one or more of the following tests and procedures:
The goal of medical treatment is to reduce the inflammation that triggers your signs and symptoms. In the best cases, this may lead not only to symptom relief but also to long-term remission. Ulcerative colitis treatment usually involves either drug therapy or surgery.
Doctors use several categories of drugs that control inflammation in different ways. But drugs that work well for some people may not work for others, so it may take time to find a medication that helps you. In addition, because some drugs have serious side effects, you'll need to weigh the benefits and risks of any treatment.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include:
They may also be used in conjunction with other medications as a means to induce remission. For example, corticosteroids may be used with an immune system suppressor — the corticosteroids can induce remission, while the immune system suppressors can help maintain remission. Occasionally, your doctor may also prescribe short-term use of steroid enemas to treat disease in your lower colon or rectum.
These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they target your immune system rather than treating inflammation itself. Because immune suppressors can be effective in treating ulcerative colitis, scientists theorize that damage to digestive tissues is caused by your body's immune response to an invading virus or bacterium or even to your own tissue. By suppressing this response, inflammation is also reduced. Immunosuppressant drugs include:
Azathioprine (Azasan, Imuran) and mercaptopurine (Purinethol). Because azathioprine and mercaptopurine act slowly — taking three months or longer to start working — they're sometimes initially combined with a corticosteroid, but in time, they seem to produce benefits on their own and the steroids can be tapered off.
Side effects can include allergic reactions, bone marrow suppression, infections, and inflammation of the liver and pancreas. There also is a small risk of development of cancer with these medications. If you're taking either of these medications, you'll need to follow up closely with your doctor and have your blood checked regularly to look for side effects. If you've had cancer, discuss this with your doctor before starting these medications.
Infliximab (Remicade). This drug is specifically for those with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who don't respond to or can't tolerate other treatments. It works quickly to bring on remission, especially for people who haven't responded well to corticosteroids. This drug can sometimes prevent surgery for some people. It works by neutralizing a protein produced by your immune system known as tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Infliximab finds TNF in your bloodstream and removes it before it causes inflammation in your intestinal tract.
Some people with heart failure, people with multiple sclerosis, and people with cancer or a history of cancer can't take infliximab. The drug has been linked to an increased risk of infection, especially tuberculosis and reactivation of viral hepatitis, and may increase your risk of blood problems and cancer. You'll need to have a skin test for tuberculosis, a chest X-ray and a test for hepatitis B before taking infliximab.
Also, because infliximab contains mouse protein, it can cause serious allergic reactions in some people — reactions that may be delayed for days to weeks after starting treatment. Once started, infliximab is generally continued as long-term therapy, although its effectiveness may decrease over time.
In addition to controlling inflammation, some medications may help relieve your signs and symptoms. Depending on the severity of your ulcerative colitis, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following:
If diet and lifestyle changes, drug therapy, or other treatments don't relieve your signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend surgery.
Surgery can often eliminate ulcerative colitis. But that usually means removing your entire colon and rectum (proctocolectomy). In the past, after this surgery you would wear a small bag over an opening in your abdomen (ileal stoma) to collect stool. But a procedure called ileoanal anastomosis eliminates the need to wear a bag. Instead, your surgeon constructs a pouch from the end of your small intestine. The pouch is then attached directly to your anus. This allows you to expel waste more normally, although you may have more-frequent bowel movements that are soft or watery because you no longer have your colon to absorb water.
Women with ulcerative colitis can usually have successful pregnancies, especially if they can keep the disease in remission during pregnancy. Ideally, you'll become pregnant when your disease is in remission. Some medications may not be indicated for use in pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, and the effects of certain medications may linger after you stop them. Talk with your doctor about the best way to manage your illness before you conceive. If you stop certain medications, their effects may linger. It's estimated that the risk of passing ulcerative colitis to your unborn child if your partner doesn't have ulcerative colitis is less than 10 percent.
Screening for colon cancer often needs to be done more frequently because people who have ulcerative colitis have an increased risk of colon cancer. It's recommended that people with pancolitis begin colon cancer screening with a colonoscopy eight years after diagnosis. For those who have left-sided colitis, screening with colonoscopy is recommended beginning 10 years after diagnosis. People with proctitis can follow the usual colon cancer screening guidelines that call for a colonoscopy every 10 years beginning at age 50.
Sometimes you may feel helpless when facing ulcerative colitis. But changes in your diet and lifestyle may help control your symptoms and lengthen the time between flare-ups.
There's no firm evidence that what you eat causes inflammatory bowel disease. But certain foods and beverages can aggravate your symptoms, especially during a flare-up in your condition. It's a good idea to try eliminating from your diet anything that seems to make your signs and symptoms worse. Here are some suggestions that may help:
Although stress doesn't cause inflammatory bowel disease, it can make your signs and symptoms much worse and may trigger flare-ups. Stressful events can range from minor annoyances to a move, job loss or the death of a loved one.
When you're stressed, your normal digestive process can change, causing your stomach to empty more slowly and secrete more acids. Stress can also speed or slow the passage of intestinal contents. It may also cause changes in intestinal tissue itself.
Although it's not always possible to avoid stress, you can learn ways to help manage it. Some of these include:
Many people with inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, have used some form of alternative or complementary therapy. Side effects and ineffectiveness of conventional therapies may be among the reasons for seeking alternative care.
These therapies generally aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Manufacturers can claim that their therapies are safe and effective, but don't need to prove it. Because even natural herbs can have side effects and cause dangerous interactions, talk to your doctor before trying any alternative or complementary therapies.
Currently, no alternative therapies have good evidence supporting their use in treating ulcerative colitis, but some that may eventually prove beneficial include:
If you decide to try an alternative therapy, be sure to tell your doctor so that he or she can let you know about any potential interactions. You can also find out if a particular therapy has been studied in reputable trials by calling the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at 888-644-6226 or by looking on its website.
Ulcerative colitis doesn't just affect you physically — it takes an emotional toll as well. If signs and symptoms are severe, your life may revolve around a constant need to run to the toilet. In some cases, you may barely be able to leave the house. When you do, you might worry about an accident, and this anxiety likely makes your symptoms worse.
Even if your symptoms are mild, gas and abdominal pain can make it difficult to be out in public. You may also feel hampered by dietary restrictions or embarrassed by the nature of your disease. All of these factors — isolation, embarrassment and anxiety — can severely alter your life. Sometimes they may lead to depression.
One of the best ways to feel more in control is to find out as much as possible about ulcerative colitis. Organizations such as the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America have chapters across the country to provide information and access to support groups. Ask your doctor, nurse or dietitian to locate the chapter nearest you, or contact the organization directly at 888-MY-GUT-PAIN (888-694-8872).
Some people find it helpful to consult a psychologist or psychiatrist who's familiar with inflammatory bowel disease and the emotional difficulties it can cause. Ask your doctor for a referral if you think counseling might be helpful for you.

Symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea can have many causes. Identifying the source of your problem can be difficult, but it is essential to getting the right treatment for your disease.
Mayo Clinic doctors take the time to listen to you and understand your symptoms.
Mayo doctors are skilled at identifying other digestive conditions that can be causing your problem, or which may coexist with ulcerative colitis and complicate your disease. These include celiac disease, Clostridium difficile infection and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Mayo specialists are especially skilled at colonoscopy, the main test used to examine your colon and rectum. Tens of thousands of colonoscopies are performed at Mayo each year.
Mayo has pathologists who specialize in interpreting tissue samples removed from the bowel in colonoscopy exams.
You have access to every kind of test available to pinpoint the extent and severity of bowel inflammation, including some advanced techniques not widely available, such as:
Testing can ordinarily be done in two to four days, and the results are available almost immediately. At the end of your visit, your doctor has a complete picture of your situation on which to base treatment recommendations.
Ulcerative colitis affects each person differently, and people respond to treatments differently as well. Mayo doctors design regimens to meet each person's unique needs. Those needs often change over time. As your body responds to treatment, the most effective therapeutic approach is likely to change, too.
People who have ulcerative colitis often develop inflammation outside the colon — in their joints, eyes, skin or lungs. They may have other health problems, too, such as diabetes. Mayo Clinic's integrated approach to patient care ensures that any additional medical conditions are evaluated and treated quickly by Mayo specialists who work closely with your primary doctor.
Mayo Clinic doctors involve you in all treatment decisions to help find the approach that provides the greatest benefit with the fewest side effects. Your doctor will thoroughly discuss any concerns that you may have about a particular treatment so that you can make the most informed decision possible.
Sometimes very mild ulcerative colitis symptoms can be controlled with diet and lifestyle changes. But most people need medications to relieve their symptoms. The traditional approach is to start treatment with the safest drugs and then switch to stronger medications if first line drugs fail to relieve your symptoms.
Surgery might be recommended if medication doesn't relieve inflammation or your colon develops precancerous changes. About 25 to 30 percent of ulcerative colitis patients eventually need surgery. Ulcerative colitis surgery usually involves removing the colon and rectum (proctocolectomy).
By the time they are referred to Mayo Clinic, many young people with ulcerative colitis have been prescribed steroids for their disease. Because long-term steroid use can have harmful effects on children, Mayo specialists often choose to use other drugs to reduce the need for steroids.
Ulcerative colitis often takes an even greater physical and emotional toll on young people, slowing their growth and delaying sexual maturation. At Mayo, young people and their families work closely with a psychologist who can help them navigate the day-to-day difficulties of living with ulcerative colitis.

When Lightning Strikes...
This dramatic image of a lightning strike is framed to include a fulgurite fragment. Commonly known as 'petrified lightning', fulgurites are natural hollow glass tubes formed in quartzose sand, silica, or soil by lightning strikes. They are formed when lightning instantaneously melts silica on a conductive surface and fuses grains together; the entire process only takes about one second. The fulgurite tube is the cooled product; the color varies depending on the composition of the sand they formed in, ranging from black or tan to green or a translucent white. The size also varies; the longest fulgurite to have been found is a little over 4.9 meters in length, and was found in northern Florida.
Certificate of Authenticity included.

I love vintage embroidery patterns. I love their kitschy goodness. Vegetables dancing the tango or an elephant washing dishes. That's the great thing about these patterns. Typically the subject matter makes little sense. Why would anthropomorphic vegetables be dancing? Why not!
But the thing about this older patterns, in order to save on ink, they typically are very basic outlines. It's up to the stitcher to fill in all the things that need to be filled in. This sometimes leads to images looking a little…off. So when I showed my friend this vintage squirrel pattern, she was immediately creeped out. And then asked me to stitch it for her on a bag. And to make the eyes red so the true demon inside the squirrel could come out.
Tuesday was my friend's birthday and the day she finally received her demon squirrel.
Creepy, eh? Demon squirrel will eat your soul.
The eyes are satin stitch with red satin thread. I don't care to ever work with that again. No matter what I did, the thread snagged and knotted with nearly every stitch. The majority of the outline stitching is chain stitch.
My favorite bit, other than the demon eyes, are the sweet little french knot flowers. I adore making french knots. I think I feel a french knot project coming on.
So Happy Birthday Nadine! Enjoy your Demon Squirrel Bag. But don't turn your back on it.
