Cultrual Appropraition makes me cranky.
But, but, look at her boobs. Look at how at how beautiful they are.
Look at the curve and her perfectly glorious nipples.
And her beautiful hair. And face.
I wish you would just take off the strip around your head that I'm sure you have no business wearing and then you can continue practicing with your slingshot in the nude.
I really really don't mind.
I'm cranky but so completely in awe.
I hate it when I pulled in a bunch of directions like that.
And why is this tagged as archery? Archery is beautiful. That, my friends, is a slingshot. Just, guh, just try to pay attention for a minute on something other than her beautiful self.

Make-up can be used in so many different ways – to freshen a tired face, glamorize a look, define features – the list is endless. No matter what you are wanting to achieve with your make-up application just make sure you are following these 10 basic rules:
Check out elf's cream textured concealer:
Rather than applying your bronzer all over your face, add color and glow to your face by focusing on the apple of your cheeks. Think about why you should not add bronzer all over your face = you even out your skin tone with a foundation and powder that matches your skin color exactly, then you apply a bronzer all over your face that does not match the color of your skin, basically undoing all the evening out your created with your foundation and powder. It makes no sense to undo what you have just tried to achieve.
These elf products work beautifully on the cheek area to add color and glow to the face: bronzing powder, radiance blusher, and all-over color stick.
And here is a video of how it's done:
Have a great day!

Texas Definition of Marriage Act, Proposition 2 (2005)
The Texas Definition of Marriage Referendum, also known as Proposition 2, was on the November 8, 2005 election ballot in Texas as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment, where it was approved. The measure defined marriage in Texas is solely the union of a man and woman, and that the state and its political subdivisions could not create or recognize any legal status identical to or similar to marriage, including such legal status relationships created outside of Texas.[1]
On February 26, 2014, U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia declared the measure unconstitutional in a case brought by four plaintiffs: Victor Holmes, Mark Phariss, Cleopatra De Leon and Nicole Dimetman. Despite overturning the measure, Garcia placed a stay on his decision. This means the law will remain effectively in place until an appeal is heard by a higher court.[2]
Election results
|Texas Proposition 2 (2005)
|Overturned Case:DeLeon v. Perry.
Proposition 2 was one of two marriage-related ballot measures on the 2005 ballot, the other being the Kansas Marriage Amendment (2005), which also was approved.
Text of measure
The language appeared on the ballot as:[3]
|The constitutional amendment providing that marriage in this state consists only of the union of one man and one woman and prohibiting this state or a political subdivision of this state from creating or recognizing any legal status identical or similar to marriage."[4]
Path to the ballot
- See also: Laws governing direct democracy in Texas
As laid out in Article 17 of the Texas Constitution, in order for a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot, the Texas State Legislature must propose the amendment in a joint resolution of both the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives. The joint resolution can originate in either the House or the Senate. The resolution must be adopted by a vote of at least two-thirds of the membership of each house of the legislature. That amounts to a minimum of 100 votes in the House of Representatives and 21 votes in the Senate.

Tasting Origins: Original Vine Pinot Gris, Eyrie Vineyards, Willamette Valley, Oregon
In 1965 David Lett planted what would be the first Pinot Gris vineyard in North America, 160 cuttings placed in the ground on their own roots in the Willamette Valley. Today those vines still give fruit, and serve as the source material for all of Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Gris vines. Jason Lett and I spoke recently about these grapes in… Read more →

Sooo Clifton is in DC! Peter and I are on our way to hang out with him now and I may see Christy Jo in Portland in August…going to your her school. Miss you all!
my best friend is an atheist, but whenever she is comforting me with something in my life she uses examples of God to help me because she knows it makes me feel better, and vice versa, when i comfort her i never bring up God because i respect that it's not something that helps or works for her
i feel like this is a model of how the world should work
that is perfect

I'd like to correct this:
"God, send us someone to cure AIDS, cancer, etc., etc."
"I did, but you gave them a substandard education because they lived in an area with poor funding due to low property taxes.
I did, but you let them die because they couldn't afford healthcare.
I did, but due to racism you stomped out their potential and didn't give them the same opportunities.
I did, but you make a college education too unaffordable while giving the big bankers passes.
I did, but you saw a homeless youth before you saw a kid with potential.
I did, but you kicked the downtrodden while they were already shoulder deep in sinking sand."
reblogging for the comment
I did, but you forced her to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term, forcing her to become a single mother with limited income, having to sacrifice her college dreams in order to provide for her unwanted child.
fucking BOOM ^
These comments are perfect.

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away-
And now We roam the Sovreign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And Every time I speak for Him
The Mountains straight reply -
And do I smile, such a cordial light
Opon the Valley glow -
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let it's pleasure through -
And when at Night - Our good Day done -
I guard my Master's Head -
'Tis better than the Eider Duck's
Deep Pillow - to have shared -
To foe of His - I'm deadly foe -
None stir the second time -
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye -
Or an emphatic Thumb -
Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without - the power to die -

21. The TorqStorm kit uses the stock truck crank pulley/damper in addition to a separate eight-rib pulley (GM68015) for the blower belt. Therefore, it's necessary to swap out the stock LS crank bolt with the provided 8mm fastener as well as the CRK-LS1 washer when installing the new blower pulley. ARP fastener assembly lube applied to the base of the washer ensures an accurate torque reading when the bolt is tightened down the final time.

Nicki Minaj signed on to be a judge for American Idol just before their current season began airing, joining fellow R&B diva Mariah Carey. The two personalities didn't mesh well to say the least, and many fans feel that their non-stop feuding has taken away from the mission of the show — which is to find America's top singer, not be a reality show about drama between the judges. With the show's ratings at an all-time low, producers are feeling the pressure to make a change, and it appears that Nicki Minaj won't be returning next season.
Current Category: Nicki Minaj
Lil Wayne may be known for being a lil' out of control, but he kept things respectful while filming a steamy music video for Nicki Minaj's "High School" (below.)
Nicki Minaj went bare on the cover of Elle magazine's April 2013 issue, at least bare for her.
I don't want you to wig out or commit hairy-kiri when you hear this, but it looks like there's gonna be someone new in Nicki Minaj's hair's life. It's gonna be okay, we gonna make it through this y'all.
Sometimes I just have to write these bad rascals up because of the wonderful pop name associations. I figured the opportunity may never come again to refer to Nicki Minaj, Steven Tyler and Bob Dylan in the same post so I better get to it before the times they start a changing. Tyler called out Minaj using Dylan as a reference and Nicki fired back via Twitter calling Tyler a racist based on his statements. Get the blow by blow that was blowing in the wind and find out why both Tyler and Minaj were way off base with their assumptions.
Okay, so everyone (optimistically) thought Justin Beiber had a sex tape this week when he started talking about losing "a lot of personal footage" because someone stole his equipment. A photo of a male member even floated around the internet, which turned out to not be Justin.
In fact, the "footage" in question is probably just a music video premiere.
Nicki Minaj loves to rock a colorful wig, but she's recently let us get a glimpse of what's underneath all that blond and neon.
Watch Nicki Minaj give Mariah Carey a tongue lashing in a clip leaked from yesterday's American Idol auditions. Oh, it's on!
Nicki Minaj is joining the ranks of Kim Kardashian and Ice T — at least according to new reports. After landing a gig on American Idol earlier this month, Nicki seems to be on a roll and has now allegedly landed her own reality special on the E! Network.
It's Friday, and that usually means it's time to kick back and party, so every Friday we're gonna round up some of the hottest new music to help everyone get their party on. This week we've got Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and One Direction (well, we've got some artwork.)

Good dogs.
You know how good it feels to sink into a warm bath, right baby? Well, daddy's going to show you how great it feels to have the warm bath on the inside! You'll feel full, warm, all cozy inside, and so needy.

This is making me throb. I think it's his pose and the way he's arching back to get her in deeper.

LOVES PARK, Ill. – On Saturday morning, October 17, the Rockford College Regents women's basketball spent their practice time differently than usual. They opted not to work on the fundamentals of the game, shooting, passing, and defense. Instead, the ladies focused on the fundamental of life. The team spent several hours at Martin Park, along the Rock River, celebrating hundreds of people at the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.
"It is a great opportunity for our young ladies to learn about a disease that affects so many across the country, while having some fun," said second-year Regents head coach Jessica Stanek. "This is the third year that we have been involved with the American Cancer Society as a team. As young women, it is very important that we make ourselves role models for our families and our communities. This is an excellent way for us to join thousands of people around the country to help fight breast cancer."
The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk is a noncompetitive four mile walk that brings together people of all ages to bring awareness to and raise money for the fight against breast cancer. At Saturday's event over 4,500 walkers participated and raised over $300,000.
Rockford's women's basketball team also joins hundreds of other colleges and universities throughout the country in the Women's Basketball Coaches Think Pink initiative in February, which raises money for the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.

Marshall/Benton Job Fair needs employer signups
By SUE WATSON
The Marshall/Benton Area Job Fair committee is seeking employers who will sign up to attend the March 8 Job Fair and offer interviews to potential hires.
"Right now it's crunch time," said Adam Todd, director of the Governor's Job Fair Network.
Any employer who has a job opening or who expects to have a job opening within a couple of months of the fair is extended an invitation. Although many employers with job opportunities wait until the last minute to register for a booth, committee members are anxious to get employers to sign up as soon as they can and for the word to get out that volunteers will be needed at the fair.
The fair will be held from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the W.A. McMillan Gym on the Rust College campus.
Those who work with job seekers to get ready for an interview can check with Catholic Social Services (662-252-1336) or the C2C Job Training program at the Regional Technology Center in Holly Springs (662-252-4652, extension 1100, 1101 or 1103). Individuals are helped with how to dress for an interview and how to build a resume to give to prospective employers.
Many individuals who attend the job fair find that job offers may come after the fair date, as employers keep resumes on hand for when they may have job openings later in the year.
For any job seeker who may feel unsure about who to approach for an interview, volunteers will be at tables just inside the door to assist anyone who may need some introduction to an employer or encouragement to approach a prospective company.
"Everything we do will have a direct impact on someone's life in your community," Todd said. "On March 8, people's lives are going to change as a direct result of what we do."
Last year's fair drew over 600 job seekers and 44 employers. There were 108 job offers made at the fair, Todd said.
Employers are encouraged to contact Todd at email@example.com or call 601-321-6154 to register or to learn more about the fair.
Employer registration for the fair can be done anytime up until the day of the fair. Many employers come in and set up their display booths the afternoon prior to the fair, or on Wednesday, March 7.
Registration for an 8'x10' display area with table and chairs, two lunches and brochure and website listings of available positions costs $125. An additional $30 is asked for an electrical outlet and extra lunch tickets cost $5 for employers. An employer hospitality room will be available.

Small Businesses Can Benefit from Freelancers, Too
Flexibility and cost savings are the primary benefits to hiring freelance workers. Small businesses can capitalize on these benefits, as well. (via Mashable)
The CFO's View of Contingent Workforce Management
Chief Financial Officers are interested in visibility and the ability to budget for the future, especially within the contingent labor space. Here is a look at the workforce from a CFO's perspective. (via Payables Place)
Last week I participated in a webinar focusing on the successful management of Statement of Work (SOW) services spend with Staffing Industry Analysts. We were joined by Cisco's Carey Pugh and Ryan Kretchmer, who shared their experiences in managing Cisco's programme, which includes significant SOW and project-based spend.
The management of SOW and project-based services have captured the industry for a while, yet most organisations still struggle with adoption. Effective services management can result in significant cost savings, among other benefits.

Boundary Dam, Seattle City Lights
Our train lurched to a stop and I groggily raised my head from the pillow after being awoken by the train conductor knocking on our door and yelling something that I was unable to process because for one, it was in Turkish, and two, IT WAS 7AM. Ashlee and I scrambled to slip out of our pajamas and into our clothes for the day. After stuffing our belongings into our backpacks, we dashed down the length of the train and off onto the platform where the rest of the group had congregated. Succumbing to the grumbling of my stomach, I popped open a jar of hazelnut spread and starting digging in with the packet of crackers that I had grabbed as we were running off of the train. I can imagine that I was quite a spectacle for the Turkish men and women at the train station to witness as I jogged along the platform, hair all amuck and awry in a loose pony tail. My Northface was stuffed so full that laptop cords, articles of clothing, and my toothbrush peeked out and from its many unclosed pockets. My wrinkled pants and oversized shirt only served to add more disorder to my already disheveled look. To top it all off, now I'm shoving disintegrating crackers into an open jar of spread, and then proceeding to stuff the broken crumbs into my mouth. I would like to take a moment to apologize to my mother. Mom, I know that you raised me to be much more lady-like than I demonstrated in that moment.
Once we were aboard the bus in Aksaray, our driver immediately headed out towards our next destination—Konya. As soon as we had left the city limits of Aksaray, the only thing that could be seen from the outside of our windows were fields. Endless amounts of golden fields, the occasional sunflower garden, and ever so often a small house could be spotted in the distance. To be quite honest, I rather enjoyed staring out and seeing nothing but fields for miles. For the past two weeks we have been living in a city center that overloads your senses in every way imaginable and is visually packed with sites of building, after building of mosques, artisan shops, restaurants, apartments, and masses upon masses of tourists and Turks. It was almost soothing, in a sense, to finally view things that played on the minimum side of visual stimulation. However, as soon as we reached Konya, the overloading of the senses returned.
Twenty minutes after our arrival at the hotel in Konya we were already on our way to the first museum. Within the span of one day we managed to visit the Mevlana Museum, the Turkish Karatay Tile Museum, the Ince Minare Wod- and Stone-Carving Museum, and the Alladin Mosque. Three museums and one mosque was definitely a record high for the number of sights that we had visited in one day out of our entire trip to Turkey. Each museum has something about it that stuck out in my mind. The Mevlana Museum had an incredible collection of Korans of various sizes that had some of the most incredible illuminations that I had seen since during our time in Turkey. The tile museum was made up of the most striking hues of blue that made a feeling of calm wash over you and pull you into a state of contemplation and pure relaxation.
After a day spent on our feet all day long running through the streets from museum to museum across Konya, being able to sit down to dinner on the top floor of the hotel and watch the sun set over the skyline dotted with mosques was a feeling of relief unmatched by any other. It was our first night away from Sultanahmet and amidst the warm laughter and conversation over plates of steaming eggplant and lamb, we all seemed to have a silent agreement that this was the start of yet another adventure.
Embarking early on our journey towards Cappadocia from Konya, only two bus stops separated us from the final destination. First stop at a station that once housed caravans during the night to shelter them from raiders, the second for lunch, and the third at the first sighting of Fairy Chimneys.
For those who have not an inkling as to what a Fairy Chimney is, I turn to the source of all reliable knowledge, wikipedia, to assist in my explanation.
Hoodoo (geology)
Hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basinor badland. Hoodoos consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder, less easily eroded stone that protects each column from the elements. They typically form within sedimentary rock and volcanic rock formations.
Being the stereotypical white boy that Jon is and myself being an Asian girl raised by a pack of white NorCal boys throughout all of high school, the sight before us translated into one thought: ROCK CLIMBING. I started down the hill with Jon close behind as we darted back and forth across the sandy rock and sediment, leaving a trail of golden white dust clouds behind each footfall. As soon as we reached the base, we begin circling the bottom of the hoodoo, scanning for the best possible route up into one of the doorways high above our heads. "Aw yeah! CHECK IT OUT!" Scrambling down from where I stood and circling counterclockwise around the hoodoo towards Jon's voice I turned my head upwards to watch as Jon began his ascent. It wasn't a particularly high climb, but just high enough to make those butterflies flit their wings around in the pit of your stomach. I kicked off my Sperry's and gripped the first toe hold with my left foot. Push up, grab with the right, find the next foothold. After the short ascent to the second doorway into the fairy chimney we pushed open the dilapidated, yet still somewhat sturdy wooden door and peered inside. Thoroughly satisfied (more by the short climb then the actual destination), we shimmied on down the rock face cautiously, making sure to test each hold before trusting it with our weight.
Hopping back down and slipping my shoes back on Jon and I decided to have a quick run around the valley and explore the open playground of a landscape before us. It was only a few minutes before we heard the group yelling our names, beckoning us away from our exploration and back onto the bus. Reluctantly we make the most of our last moments of freedom and sprinted back through the dry brush and up the side of the hill, our footing slipping every few steps as the sandstone hillside crumbled easily beneath the tread of our shoes.
My last glance over my shoulder as we boarded the bus made me begin to wish— to wish that I was a nomad being able to wander aimlessly through the vast landscape of desert rock outcroppings and ancient stone dwellings, to wish that I could truly appreciate the creations made by man from the creations of God, to wish that I could live simply in a place such as this.

Now I know this is a marathon and fundraising blog, but I'm going to go off piste a little bit with this post so please bear with me…
In 2009 I successfully (arguably!) completed my first ever triathlon. It was a "sprint" distance, part of the Bedford Sprint Series, comprising of a 400m pool swim, 24km cycle and a 5km run. I finished in 1:51:00, with the split times shown in the link below… I know there's a lot of improvement to be made – especially on first transition, but that's another story!
But on that day I achieved so much personally. I achieved four PBs during that one event! Ok, so three of them probably don't count as they were "firsts" rather than beating a time I'd already set, but the 5km run was a personal best for me. I went home that day feeling like a champ, and I wanted to do it again! Unfortunately, just a few months after that event I was only 6 weeks into marathon training when I suffered a stress fracture and that kind of ended my run/bike/swim enthusiasm for a while and I struggled to get back into any training consistently until nearly two years had passed.
Thankfully I have now regained all of my previous gusto and 2012 is the year of my return to endurance events.
Having done a Level 2 Fitness Instructor course, and having worked in a business environment for several years now, I have learned the art of "SMART" goal-setting. The elements of a SMART goal are that it is:
I think setting SMART goals is a really good way of keeping yourself motivated, challenged and focussed for the things you want to achieve. And that's why I have come up with these, my two main training goals for 2012:
- Complete my first marathon… in less than three hours and 50 minutes. Brighton Marathon, 15th April 2012.
- Complete my first Olympic distance triathlon. London Triathlon, 23rd September 2012.
Along the way, I have set myself other mini-goals. These, ordinarily, would be big enough goals in their own right but, because of the mountain I have decided to climb, they are now more like stepping stones to keep me feeling the way I did when I finished that triathlon in 2009. My mini-goals are:
- Complete my first half marathon. Great Bentley, 5th February 2012.
- Run a sub 1:50 half marathon. Silverstone, 11th March 2012.
- Run a sub 50 minute 10k. Race and date undecided.
- Complete my first open-water triathlon. Shock Absorber Sprint, 10th June 2012.
- Beat my sprint distance triathlon PB. Dunmow Triathlon, 9th September 2012.
The last goal may have to be adjusted slightly because the cycle leg of the Dunmow Tri is 1km shorter than that of the Bedford Sprint where my PB was set, but I'm sure I can time-adjust as necessary!
So that's it – those are my SMART goals for 2012. Have you set yourself any goals for this year? Are they SMART? What are they? I'd love to hear from you!

In celebration of the F-100 Western Nationals' 25th anniversary, Pickups Limited invited Pat Ford out from North Carolina to sign autographs, shake hands, and share stories. In case you don't know who Pat is, he puts on the F-100 Supernationals in Tennessee, which is proud to hold the title of world's largest F-100 event. Pat's a legend, and with that last name of his he'd have to be! Pat's son Squire also made the trip, and both were made honorary members of Pickups Limited for their hard work in the world of F-100s. Jack Reis was also honored for his involvement since the early days of the aftermarket for pioneering and providing products for classic truckers. It's hard to tell where we'd be today in the hobby without people like Jack who dedicated their lives to furthering it.
Pickups Limited has another two-day event planed for '08, with the show taking place June 21. For info on upcoming as well as past events and more, go to www.f100westernnationals.com or www.pickupslimited.com for all the details. We'll see you there next summer!

I was reading a book recently called White Cargo. It was a fascinating insight into the early years of slavery and how the Irish people were the prototype for the slave trade. A kind of test run, maybe to see if they could get away with it or maybe just to see it if it would work.
Everybody knows only too well the atrocities of the African slave trade.But not many people, including me, know about the Irish slaves.
The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. Even in England they gathered up poor, impoverished young children, prisoners, trouble makers, anarchists and dissenters and put them on boats. They told their parents that they were being sent to the Americas to become apprentices in the New World. But in reality the majority of them would be dead within a year and the rest of them would be treated like dogs, being given just enough food and shelter to keep them alive and strong enough to work.
In Ireland it was much easier, they did not even have to make false promises of a better life in the New World. Ireland was in upheaval. The Irish were rebelling against English rule. They could simply gather up whoever they wanted, label them 'political prisoners' and ship them off to be sold as slaves.
From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland's population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were torn apart, divided and unlikely to ever be reunited. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain's solution was to auction them off as well.
During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Oliver Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.
They are more commonly referred to as "Indentured Servants" to describe what occurred to the Irish. The belief at the time was that the person would give their labour for free for five years or more to pay for their transport costs, food and housing and then would be free to leave, however, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Indentured Servants were often their against their will and were treated as nothing more than human cattle.
If a planter whipped or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African. The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of slaves were themselves slaves, which increased the size of the master's free workforce. Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain slaves of her master. Thus, Irish women, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude.
In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with African men to produce slaves with a distinct complexion. These new "mulatto" slaves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African slaves.
There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat. None of the Irish victims ever made it back to their homeland to describe their ordeal. These are the lost slaves; the ones that time and the history books conveniently forgot.

Please pray Tyler (15 yrs old) who was diagnosed with Leukemia in September and is now 9-days post Bone Marrow Transplant.
Today is Day 9 post transplant. I don't know how else to say it other than our boy is extremely ill. He is getting plenty of attention around here. His fever continues to range between 100 and 104, despite fever reducers. Every inch… of him is hot to the touch. He is incapable of sleeping or resting, despite being on meds that normally knock him out. He is constantly nauseated. His lips are cracked and bleeding. He has a full body rash, including his palms and soles, and his face appears sunburned. They still don't know the source of infection - a CT scan with contrast revealed no obvious fungal infection. His kidneys are not doing well on the Gentamicin and Vancomycin, and they looked abnormal in the CT scan. His bilirubin levels rose today, but still no other symptoms of VOD - he just remains jaundiced. The only thing that doesn't burn the sores in his mouth is water, so again, he is getting no nutrition. It has all been simply too much for him to bear, yet he continues to bear it all.
please reblog so more people can pray
hes my friend guys

My name is Arian. I am 23. Living the quiet life in the Texas Panhandle. Studying Art History at WTAMU. Antiques & Vintage lover/dealer. Oh, I also make stuff...
Posts tagged "acrylic"
Once I get the layers of colors laid down all around the face I'll work on that damn eye and add some oil pastels for added texture. I reeeeeeeally like how this is turning out. I've had this damn painting for two years and I am going to FINISH IT TODAY!!!!!
Ten Pages from my Art Journal 2013
The fact that this got 100 notes makes me want to get back to this art journal! Thank you!!
Im stumped with the painting I've got going right now…So what do I do? I start planning a new one.
I was inspired by some old "Turning Figure" drawings I'd done in Drawing class last year.
Time to get started. Maybe I should get off of Tumblr.
It's getting there!
I've gotten the dishes done and the groceries bought, so my to-do list has only one thing on it for the rest of the week.
I have been thinking about this all day, specifically this area of the painting. But I have been stuck at work, and when I finally get off Im too tired to pick up a brush.
Need. Coffee.
The in-between stages before I had added the female form. Right about here I got stumped (and hungry) so I ate and came back to it. I got sick of staring at it and started adding a few floating hands and then an arm and hand covering his eyes and then I just saw the face. I could see her resting her chin on his head, a shoulder, then a draped arm. The face at the top right was completely lost to her, it became an abandoned idea because it never took shape as aggressively as the female figure did. I couldn't see it go anywhere like I did when I drew in the arm, it just never evolved into anything. In the end, the face was just another casualty in this painting.
My new painting is morphing into something unexpected. Its a living work. Everytime I come back to it, it changes and gives birth to a new idea, a new possibility. I'm still not done with it just yet. I want to see how far I can take it. I have photos of the progress, and each stage looks like a different painting. Each snapshot could have become a completed work on its own, but sometimes when a work transforms itself like this one has, its hard not to see what it will become.
I need to get a camera. Or just a better phone with a good camera. This is my owl painting. I actually started it last semester, hated it, abandoned it, and re-adopted it after Christmas break. Now it is finished and going to live with a coworker of mine. Cause it was so easy and simple and essentially had no emotion what-so-ever tied to it. I just wanted to paint an owl.

Featured Golf News
For Golf Course Developer, Patience is a Virtue
Dom Provost has been trying to make a go of a golf resort on his Ashland, Oregon property for 15 years. After purchasing the land in 1968, he decided to convert it into a resort. Provost received initial conceptual approval for the project in 1989. Ever since then, the project has been beleaguered by land- and water-rights issues.
But chalk one up for Provost. Fast-forward to January 2001, when the Oregon Water Resources Department gave conditional approval for a groundwater use permit. Local opposition appealed the decision. But on January 17, the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Provost, upholding the departments initial approval. As of September 2001, however, the project remains in abeyance.
With the patience of Job, Provost is still taking things one day at a time, wanting to see if the project opponents will appeal to the Supreme Court. They have until mid-April to do so. Thats just the way it goes, he said. Well just have to wait and see.
The opponents consist of neighboring landowners, the Jackson County Citizens League, and the Friends of Ashland, a local environmental group, who say the area doesnt have enough water to support a golf course. Several calls made by Cybergolf to the Jackson County Citizens League went unreturned.
Provosts plans for the 200-acre site include an 18-hole championship golf course, a 96-room hotel and 110 condominiums.

Shortlist to Replace Los Angeles' Iconic Sixth Street Bridge Revealed
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Sam Lubell.
We learn from our friends at Curbed that Los Angeles' Sixth Street Viaduct Competition, replacing one of the most famous—and fragile—landmarks in LA, has a shortlist. The 3,500-foot-long, art deco span was recently deemed beyond repair, and the winner will build a $401 million, cable-stayed bridge in its place. The teams, all present at an LA Bureau of Engineering meeting last night, are AECOM, ARUP, HNTB, Parsons, Parsons Brinckerhoff, and SOM. Three of those teams will present their plans in September, with a winner chosen in October.
Nation's First Rooftop Community Garden Prepares to Open Atop a Seattle Parking Garage
Friday, July 6, 2012
Ariel Rosenstock.
Installation of the first community rooftop garden in the United States—UpGarden—is almost complete. Located in the shadow of Seattle's Space Needle, the project will convert close to 30,000 square feet on the top of the Mercer parking garage into an organic, edible, herb and flower garden with 100 plots for lower Queen Anne neighborhood residents. Landscape architecture firm Kistler Higbee Cahoot is leading the design, organizing community workshops and construction of the garden with a volunteer crew.
A Mobile Sound Booth Disguised as a Silver Orb for Los Angeles
Thursday, July 5, 2012
Carren Jao.
Angelenos might soon see a "silvery orb" roving around their neighborhood. Don't worry, it's not an alien visitation, it is radio station KCRW's newest portable sound booth for Sonic Trace, a new media and radio series project that charts the Mexican and Central American immigrant experience in Los Angeles. After a few weeks of deliberation, KCRW chose California-based Mat-ter Design+ Build Studio's La Burbuja as the winning entry. Translated as "the bubble," the design is a highly reflective orb that encloses its subjects in "a non-space that is elegant but not intrusive," said Hugo Martinez, who co-founded the studio with Christin To.

Artists X Architects
Joe's Restaurant
1023 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice
Through July 31
As technology progresses and information expands, the line between art and architecture blurs. LA journalist Tibby Rothman knew this well when she put together the new exhibition Artists X Architects, presented by arts group V-SCAPE at Joe's Restaurant in Venice. The event paired 11 local architects with 11 local artists. The conceit was simple: the designers met and selected existing work that revealed the similarities in their approaches. The result is more powerful than you might think, exposing two professions that have a lot to learn from each other. Some similarities are uncanny, revealing the fields' parallels in research, material, form, and feeling. Kulapat Yantrasast's building blocks for a bridge over the LA River, embedded with debris (including scrunched underwear), evoke the raw loneliness of Laddie John Dill's excavated carvings out of textured stone. A resin-coated block of soda cans made for a Santa Monica housing project by architect Lawrence Scarpa was accompanied by a woven artwork (above) of soda cans by Alexis Smith. Smith's artwork looks like mosaic tile while the block looks like a piece of sculpture. The three-dimensional sketches of architect Duane Oyler look like art while the precise graphite sketches of a cut diamond by artist Jennifer Wolf look like architecture. Pieces of Mark Mack's sketches appear to be extracted from the colorful, amorphous art of Huguette Caland.
Mixed Use Complex Planned for Downtown LA
Friday, June 29, 2012
Sam Lubell.
Downturn? What downturn? It looks like Downtown Los Angeles will get its first mixed-use development in some time when construction begins on the Eighth and Grand project on the south edge of downtown. Developer Sonny Astani recently sold the land to limited liability corporation CPIVG8, who the LA Times says will probably start work "in the next couple months." The $300 million building is set to have 700 residential units, a rooftop pool, 36,000 square feet of retail and nearly an acre of open space (and perhaps too many parking spaces: 737). Renderings show a wavy glass, steel and concrete facade, but that design appears to still be schematic. In fact no architect has been mentioned in any story on the project and calls to the developer about an architect have not been returned. We'll keep you posted when a design and an architect are confirmed.
MSG Buys Midcentury LA Forum Arena
Thursday, June 28, 2012
Sam Lubell.
For months rumors have swirled that developer Madison Square Garden Co. (MSG) would buy the midcentury modern LA Forum arena in Inglewood, former home of the LA Lakers and LA Kings. (Its architect, Charles Luckman, also designed Madison Square Garden.) That deal is now official, according to Crain's New York, who said the company just paid $23 million for the property. MSG will begin a "comprehensive renovation" of the arena later this year, and details of that job will be released this fall. The company is currently working on an $850 million renovation of Madison Square Garden, itself a taxing job that is set to be done by next year.
Seattle's Eco District Getting A New, Edible Neighbor
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Ariel Rosenstock.
While the Bullitt Center was the first built project to follow the rigorous sustainable guidelines of Seattle's "Eco-District," a second "living building" is coming to the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, and will incorporate commercial space in addition to offices. Clocking in with a total of 120,000 square feet, the building will include a new headquarters for Brooks Sports.
Dubbed Stone34, the building will be right off the the Burke-Gilman Trail, the 27-mile rail-to-trail walking and biking path that snakes through northern portions of Seattle. LMN Architects is helming the design of the five-story building that will recycle most of its water and includes a fresh air ventilation system, natural lighting, and thermal energy storage. Pushing sustainability even further, visitors, customers, and staff will be able to eat the lanscaping: greening by Swift Company will include edible plants.
Completion is expected fall of 2013.

Profile> Architect Chris Lasch Presents Tooling Scripted Facades on July 27
Monday, June 25, 2012
The Editors.
"We've always been interested in the tools used in architecture and have always tried to be critical of these tools," stated the partners of Aranda/Lasch after being named finalists in MoMA PS 1's Young Architect Program (YAP) in 2005. "At a certain point we began making our own computational tools and realized that we could make structures that organize space and put forth a way to practice architecture." Fast forward seven years, and Benjamin Aranda and Chris Lasch continue to pioneer new forms through innovative scripting.
On July 27, Chris Lasch will lead Scripted Facades, a special workshop that is part of AN's upcoming conference Collaboration: the Art and Science of Building Facades, taking place July 26-27 in San Francisco.
More about Lasch and his Scripted Facades workshop after the jump.
San Francisco's Bay Bridge Set to Sparkle with Massive Lighting Display

Video rendering of the Bay Lights (courtesy TBL)
"What if the West Span [of San Francisco's Bay Bridge] wasn't a bridge and instead were a canvas?" asked Ben Davis, founder of creative agency Words Pictures Ideas and man behind the The Bay Lights (TBL) some time ago. That question soon became the foundation for San Francisco's latest high-tech public art project that's got even Silicon Valley abuzz. With the support of San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and major Silicon Valley bigwigs, TBL is planning to put up an ethereal light show 1.5 miles wide and 230 feet high covering the west span of San Francisco's Bay Bridge.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have 2 children who currently attend St. Mary's school. After sending them to public school for one year I was so dissapointed not only in the curriculum but in the whole learning environment. My husband and I immediatly started looking for something better for our kids. We found it, St. Mary's school is a caring and supportive learning environment. One of the major differences is the parental involvement. The other major difference is the principle Mrs. Cooley and all of the teachers really do care about these children. If your child needs help in a certain subject, they will get them the extra help. No child is ever pushed aside. It is like having a big extended family at St. Mary's. St. Mary's also allows you as a parent to have a hands on role in the classroom to help out when ever you are able to. My kids actually ask when they are going to go back to school when they are on break, because they enjoy it so much. I cannot express how greatful I am to have found this school for my kids, I have had nothing but good experiences here and look forward to all 4 of my children attending.

First things first: BYU isn't that bad without Brandon Davies.
Granted, the Cougars aren't as good without Davies as they were when Davies was available for their first 29 games. But I can't imagine they're as bad without Davies as they showed in Wednesday's 82-64 loss to New Mexico. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle. And has premarital sex ever had this kind of impact on college basketball?
That's what brought us here, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune.
|It's true BYU missed its top rebounder Brandon Davies vs. New Mexico, but it's not as bad as the score suggested. (US Presswire)
Not because of a torn ACL.
Not because of a broken leg.
But because of some premarital sex, which has led to much of the nation debating the BYU Honor Code that prohibits premarital sex and also requires that students attend church regularly, be honest, abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee and substance abuse. On one hand, people believe dismissing a player from a team for premarital sex is the craziest thing this side of everybody's favorite television star. On the other, folks argue BYU is a private institution owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that students know the deal when they enroll.
I agree with both points to some degree.
Obviously, I think any code that requires -- not encourages, but requires -- college students to abstain from premarital sex and alcohol is bananas because premarital sex and alcohol were my two favorite things about college. Taco Bell was third. So my three favorite things about college were sex, alcohol and Meximelts, and the nights when I experienced all three are now considered my best memories. Those were good times.
That said, I'm not a Mormon and I didn't go to BYU. If I were and if I did, I would've been made aware of the school's Honor Code before I enrolled (just like Davies) and been required to live my life accordingly (just like Davies). So when people say Davies knew what he was getting into, I get that. But that doesn't make this any less complicated because knowing what you're getting into doesn't mean you understood what you were getting into.
I was once a high school senior with core beliefs, too.

Nothing like a typical BYU student's core beliefs, I assure you. But I had lines that I never planned to cross in a variety of areas, and I can't begin to count how many of them I crossed in the subsequent four years. In other words, knowing what you expect of yourself or what others expect of you is one thing, but real life has a way of messing with your plans even when you have the best intentions. I know Jessica Simpson never planned to have sex outside of marriage, but at some point -- perhaps on the set of Dukes of Hazzard -- that changed. And I'm sure Miley Cyrus never planned to hit a bong, but I saw her do it on TMZ.com. I could provide examples forever, but you get the point.
I bet he had the best intentions.
I know he knew the Honor Code before he enrolled.
But he enrolled two years ago and things have obviously changed. It's easy when you're in high school to promise what you will and won't do. But then it's a Saturday and you're on the couch with an attractive lady, and, well, things happen. In most cases, it's called life and nothing more. At BYU, it's a violation of the Honor Code. So here we are.
Bottom line, I don't know the answer.
Yes, I think the whole thing is crazy. But I respect the religion. Yes, I think this stinks for Davies and his teammates. But I know why it was done. Yes, I think Tim Tebow is awesome. But he's not even human in my eyes. So I guess my best advice is this: Be careful, future prospects. Go to BYU if you want, and I'll wish you luck. But understand that your beliefs and desires will likely change greatly between the ages of 18 and 22, and if they do and if you slip your life will be turned upside down.
If you don't care about those risks, go ahead and enroll. But if you do care and think there's a chance you're more like a typical human than not, well, you might want to check out a different campus, you know, just to play it safe.

The Montreal Canadiens have traded F Louis Leblanc to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2015 NHL draft, according to reports from TSN.
The 23 year-old native of Pointe-Claire, QC has 5 goals and 5 assists in 50 career NHL games with the Canadiens, and had zero points in 8 games with the club this season. He spent most of this past season with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL scoring 28 points (13G) in 70 games.
Leblanc, who went to Harvard, was drafted 18th overall in the 2009 NHL draft, and was expected to be a top-tier scorer down the road. However, in the 5 years since his draft day he has struggled to find a consistent role with the team. The forward has also struggled to be a force in the AHL. In 163 games he has totalled 34 goals and 68 points.
Leblanc is set to become an RFA on July 1st. He is one of 8 players selected in the first round of his draft class to play no more than 56 NHL games.
The move comes 13 days ahead of the 2014 NHL draft which will be held in Philadelphia.

A Professor's Perspective on Open Source in Academia
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
In the past, I've written about Mel Chua and Red Hat's POSSE (Professor's Open Source Summer Experience). Now Heidi Ellis, Associate Professor and Chair of the Computer Science and Information Technology department at Western New England College, shares her thoughts on the differences between the open source and academic communities. Ellis says, "The open source way is very opportunistic and flexible, while academia is very planned and structured." Ellis goes on to say, "Clearly, there are also large differences in culture. But I think that collaboration between open source and academic realms can work, as there are also some strong commonalities between the groups." Read her excellent article on the opensource.com site.comments powered by Disqus
