Inking Part 1 - Know Your Materials
➥Table of Contents - Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 -
You can ink with anything from a brush and nib to a toothbrush, and this is an overview of some interesting tools you can do to create different textures, however part 3 will go into more specific mark making.
Here's a pic of some of my favorite tools:
Suzuri Grinding stone and Ink Block:
I'm not about to go into an explanation about making your own ink and japanese calligraphy. However I do strongly advise learning about it, as I don't know where I'd be without knowing how to do it. Inking in general is more about meditation more than anything.
Japanese Brushes: (left to right): yoju hake, bamboo hake, gyokuran sumi brush, sansui koraku sumi brush
These can create some really amazing textures, I've created some of my favorite photoshop brushes from using these. (I'll give them to you in part 5)
Student Hake:
I am in LOVE with the Hake brush. It's nothing short of amazing, but I know they can be hard to find in regular art stores so you might have to look online. I'll go into detail later, but it creates very bold dry brush effects.
Bamboo Nib, Bamboo Brush:
Honestly I own a ton of these, but they're very hard to use and dry easily. As much as I advocate using traditional materials, I wouldn't recommend them. Same thing goes for bamboo brushes, they're really good for texture but not precision.
Metal Nibs:
Again there are many resources talking about nibs, here's a good one I found. I don't use nibs too often anymore, but back in middle school up to sophmore year they were all I used. Good for technical and precision, hard. I have a soft spot for them sometimes.
Brush Pens
Pentel Brush Pen
Good for inking sketches, I learned how to use brush on this pen. Well technically not this exact one, I have the original Japanese brush this is knocked off from. Supposedly the Pentel brand is just as good. You can get it here on Amazon.
Kuretake Sumi Brush Pen
Personally I haven't used this, but oh do I covet it. This brush is strongly recommended by many awesome artists for inking sketch works. A bit pricey, but I hear it's worth it. You can get it here from Amazon.
There is also a glorious Kolinsky Sable brush pen but that thing is like 80 dollars or something, so yeah. It's mighty perdy though. haha!
Winsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable Brush
This is my baby, and they are completely worth the money. If you are new to brush I recommend starting with a cheaper synthetic or a brush pen, getting used to it and all that. However this…these guys are simply the best. I use a #2 for my comics, but for oil painting and watercolor I use a #4. They say you shouldn't use them for oil painting, but Donato recommends them too! haha they're priced high for a reason but completely worth it.
These babies are actually on sale for an insane discount right now at ASW, check it out! :) Online ordering is not preferred as you should always inspect a brush's tip before buying it, especially if they cost so much, but I have found ASW to be a good resource for the most part.
I don't use pens too often, really only if I'm ruling something or doing technical backgrounds, but when I do I love Copic Multiliners. They're like Microns, but are a bit smoother and have a darker ink. Somewhat more pricey, but with them I think it's worth it. I have nothing against using Microns though.
I could separate types of Ink into another part and talk about them for forever. I will sum it up by saying that I use Sumi Ink simply because I like the feel of it with my brush. It is NOT waterproof, but I have used it with watercolor pieces and it was fine. It also washes off easily so if you're messy that's always nice haha. Do not buy the large bottles, by the smaller ones because this ink dries fast and can congeal if it gets old. There are millions of different kinds of ink though…too much to say, I'm sorry!
Art Supply Warehouse: ASW is one of my favorite online stores to shop if you don't have access to a store by you that may have these things. :)
I could go on forever, but I'm stopping here. XD
Part 2 : Setting Up, it's more than just getting some water!

Cam Newton: Future NFL Bust
Let's just get this out of the way now: Cam Newton will not be a successful quarterback at the next level. I firmly believe that. This isn't so much about skill as it is smarts and common human decency. When it comes down to it, you just can't convince me that Cameron Jerrell Newton is actually a good person and won't do something to both screw over his own career and shame whatever team took a chance on him. He is the anti-Tim Tebow, if that makes sense. Sure, Newton's playing style and on-field accomplishments mirror that of Virgin Air (copyright Bill Simmons), and he throws a prettier ball, too. But, remember, Tebow was universally lauded for his off-the-field exploits, maybe even more so than for what he accomplished as a football player. When you examine Newton's background, how does the minefield of red flags not signify to you that he's going to figure out a way to royally screw up in the pros? Why the hell should you trust this guy? Then you factor in the headache that is his corrupt, meddling exhibitionist of a father, and the whole prospect of making Cam Newton the face of your franchise becomes a considerable risk seemingly headed for inevitable disaster. Thanks, but no thanks.
Let's go back to 2007 and 2008, when Newton was at the University of Florida and languishing on the bench behind his Caucasian doppelgänger. He was a nonentity, a nobody, and had no hope of seeing the field in game action until Tebow got injured or left for the NFL. That's enough of a reason to transfer. Newton hastened his exit from the school by accumulating three incidents of academic dishonesty that pushed him to the verge of expulsion. THREE! How dumb do you have to be to get caught cheating three separate times? Now, I'm not naive when it comes to this topic. Cheating is rampant at every university, and it's especially true when it comes to student athletes with no desire to fulfill their academic obligations. Still, three times?! Are you kidding me? Was Newton trying to get caught? That right there is enough of a reason for me to question his overall intelligence and ability to make good decisions.
Cam wasn't satisfied just being a cheater, though, and decided to try his hand at the art of theft. Unfortunately for him, he was as adept in that endeavor as he was at cheating. Newton knowingly assumed possession of a stolen laptop and attempted to pass it off as his own, going so far as to file off the serial number and write his name in massive letters on the front cover. Then when the cops came to his dorm room to investigate the matter, Newton tried to cover up his crime by chucking the laptop out the window and having an accomplice hide it for him behind a dumpster. Turns out this accomplice wasn't any smarter than his scummy enabler and got pinched by police officers before having a chance to dump the purloined computer.
Understandably, Cam Newton decided to run far away from his problems and transferred to Blinn College, a junior college in rural Texas. There, he led the football team to an NJCAA national championship but always had his sights set on returning to a FBS/D-IA program. He got his wish when Auburn came calling and offered him a scholarship. So, are we to believe that Newton changed during his time at Blinn and evolved into a morally upstanding person? Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical. Funny thing is, the general public was relatively oblivious to Newton's checkered past until the whole Mississippi State pay-for-play scandal broke in early November. Yes, Cam was cleared of any wrongdoing and his father took the fall, but the whole thing just stinks to high heaven. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and there's a ton of smoke here, especially when you consider the subject's history. You can be sure the NCAA's investigation into the matter is still ongoing behind the scenes; what kind of odds can I get that those snooping around eventually uncover some damning evidence that implicates Newton?
Alright, now that the character assassination portion of the article is out of the way, let's analyze Cam Newton, the football player. Make no mistake, at a chiseled 6-5, 250 pounds, he's the most impressive physical specimen I've ever seen at the quarterback position. His arm strength is elite, and he can make every throw necessary to play in the NFL. Despite completing 66% of his passes this season, Newton's accuracy has been scrutinized by NFL scouts; if you look at the tape and focus on when he tries to navigate the intermediate portion of the field, you start to understand why. At no point when I watched Newton this season did accuracy jump out at me as one of his strong suits, but I also never found myself thinking it was a crippling weakness. The biggest gripe I had with his game was that he ran the equivalent of a playground offense (on top of the fact that he only played a single season at the D-IA level). It didn't take a trained eye to see that Newton operated in a one-read scheme, meaning that if his primary receiver wasn't open he'd basically just tuck the ball and run. That works in college when you're 6-5, 250 pounds and can just run over smaller defenders. In the NFL, however, such a playing style will literally get a quarterback killed.
Personally, after watching Newton attempt to be a real quarterback against Oregon in the national championship game, I came away unimpressed and convinced he wasn't going to replicate his collegiate success in the pros. The Ducks' defense flummoxed the Heisman Trophy winner and coerced him into a number of poor decisions — only one of which actually resulted in a turnover (there should've been a few more) — and missed opportunities. What I saw in that game was a quarterback who was noticeably confused by coverages and in moments of distress steadfastly locked onto his primary receiver instead of going through his progressions. Just wait until NFL defensive coordinators start game planning for Cam Newton. Defensive masterminds are always going to win that battle. Fact.
Remember, this is a guy who got caught cheating three times before getting busted for possessing a stolen laptop during his brief stay at the University of Florida. And I'm supposed to believe he can flawlessly comprehend and command an NFL offense, read complex defensive schemes, and process copious amounts of information in nanoseconds? Ooooooookay. To be honest, I'd feel more comfortable drafting Greg McElroy in the sixth round, but I'll save that argument for later. This Cam Newton infatuation just reeks of a classic case of style winning out over substance, and I'm not going to fall into that trap.
While I have to commend Newton for the way he handled the myriad distractions that threatened to derail his historic season, I can't ignore the fact that they were still present. Besides, handling distractions in the pros will be a little different. If I'm about to invest tens of millions of dollars in a quarterback expected to lead my franchise for the next decade, I'd prefer there not be serious questions regarding his character. I'm telling you, there's a shitstorm destined to surround whatever team drafts Cam Newton. His past couldn't be a more foreboding warning about his future, and I just don't have a good feeling about him. At all.
The most recent incident in the Cam Newton circus was that farce of a controlled workout his father (dude, just get the fuck out of the way) staged for the media. There were so many things wrong with that decision, I don't even know where to start. In addition to making Cam and his father look like even bigger douchebags, what did that workout accomplish? I can tell you it didn't impress anyone in the NFL, and it perturbed more than a few of the very player personnel executives that will determine where Newton gets drafted. I bet league veterans don't respect that look-at-me horse shit either. I don't care that Trent Dilfer could hardly contain himself as he gushed about how well Newton performed during the workout — the kid could have walked on water and it still wouldn't have mattered to me. What does it say about a prospect when he'd rather first appeal to the media than his potential employers? Nothing positive, that's for sure. It makes me question his maturity and selflessness. Further, I have to ask myself, is Newton serious about being a professional football player, or is he more concerned with being a celebrity?
Now it's time to address the much-maligned father, Cecil Newton, Sr. Why hasn't he retreated from the spotlight and slinked into the background, especially after the Mississippi State fiasco? I'm not sure how he doesn't understand that he's only hurting his son by intervening all the time. It makes you wonder about the senior Newton's priorities, and whether he has his son's best interests in mind or is just another run-of-the-mill attention whore. As always, it's probably a little bit of both. Put simply, Cecil Newton, Sr. has no idea what he's doing here and is in way over his head — and it doesn't appear like he'll be going away anytime soon. I've seen how an overbearing father can interfere with his son's career as a professional athlete, and it never ends well. Remember, I grew up as a Philadelphia Flyers fan during the Eric Lindros era of the '90s, so I know all about his prick of a dad, Carl.
It's easy to get seduced by a player's accomplishments on the field, especially when said player is someone like Cam Newton and possesses truly unique, breathtaking talents. However, you can't let all the flash cloud your objectivity. Separate Cam Newton the football player from Cam Newton the person. If you still think he's worth the risk, more power to you. I don't, and I'd be willing to bet a sizable chunk of money that in five years we're mentioning Newton's name in the same sentence as Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell. If I have the option of taking a less talented guy with impeccable character or a highly talented guy who also happens to be a rotten person, I'm taking the former eleven times out of ten. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to step down from my soapbox, but I still won't let Newton's enticing skill set override my reservations about his character.
You know something, I bet Dan Snyder absolutely loves himself some Cam Newton.
PS - If Cam Newton turns into "Donovan McNabb with stones" (copyright Ari Lowell), I'll be the first person in line to admit I was wrong and eat that massive serving of crow.
(Edit, 6/12/12: Since most people/commenters can't be bothered to find this on their own, here is my Cam Newton mea culpa, as promised, that I wrote a year after penning this ill-fated article… "Owning What You Write / Cam Newton: Current NFL Star")

Mercedes-Benz has given the company's 2012 C63 AMG Black Series a life of its own. The newest commercial for the vehicle shows exactly what happens when dealers shut off the lights and go home for the night. The coupe sets about prowling the streets of some unnamed metropolis in a quest to quench its insatiable thirst for asphalt, frightening away vagrants and using its exhaust note to bark at the moon. Looks like fun. Buyers may want to think about installing a cage in the garage if they plan to bring this Black Series home.

County may use forfeiture money study
By Alex Bridges
WOODSTOCK -- Shenandoah County officials are negotiating with a consulting firm that would study staffing of the emergency dispatch center and the sheriff's office.
The Board of Supervisors on Thursday heard an update from County Administrator Douglas Walker and others regarding the efforts to pick and hire a consultant to conduct the study.
However, it appears the county may need to dip into the sheriff's office asset forfeiture fund to cover the cost of the staffing study. Sheriff Timothy Carter is on board with the proposal, according to department representatives.
The county recently sought proposals from consultants to perform the study. As Walker and Deputy County Administrator Mary Beth Price explained, proposals carried a wide range of costs but not all submissions met the criteria set for the study.
Board Chairman Conrad Helsley said the county received proposals from seven firms. A panel that included Helsley, Price and other county staff plus representatives from the sheriff's office, decided to interview four of the firms.
Price told the board the panel has entered into negotiations with one of the firms the committee interviewed. Price reminded supervisors the county budgeted $18,000 for the staffing study. However Price advised the contract cost is at $36,000. Carter has OK'ed the use of asset forfeiture funds to cover half the cost of the study.
"We felt we needed to bring it to you because we only budgeted $18,000 and we wanted you to be aware of that," Price said.
"I think it's not a decision that needs to be made, really it's an awareness that the board needs to have of the issue so that there's no surprises when we get down the road and we've got that appropriation of the $18,000 from asset forfeiture you understand upfront how it's being used and the fact it's being used for this purpose," Walker said.
Supervisor David Ferguson asked whether Carter approved the use of asset forfeiture funds to help cover the additional cost of the study. Major Scott Proctor told the board the sheriff left it up to the panel and Carter did endorse using the asset forfeiture funds to cover the other half of the cost.
Ferguson said he would only back using the funds if the sheriff also supported the action.
Ferguson also asked about the cost included in each of the proposals submitted by the firms the panel interviewed. But officials would not divulge specific amounts of each proposal because of the ongoing negotiations. Revealing such information could hinder the county's ability to negotiate with other firms, staff advised.
Price told the board the costs of the seven proposals received ranged from $18,000 to more than $100,000. The proposals submitted by the four firms interviewed by the panel ranged from $18,000 to approximately $60,000, according to Price. Helsley noted one of the proposals sought to study only the staffing needs of the jail so the firm had to adjust the submission and thus the cost.
Also at the work session Walker told the board staff had completed the procurement process for consulting services to help the county find a new firm to provide maintenance of the locality's emergency 911 equipment. The county received notice a couple of months ago the current provider, Shentel, plans to migrate away from the business of maintaining such equipment, Walker said.
As Walker explained, the advance notice allows the county to also look at the equipment it has currently and to what it could migrate.
"There are an enormous number of variables that come into play with changes in technology as it relates to telephone equipment, next-generation 911 systems, state expectations for next-generation equipment," Walker said. "The county is seeking to understand better what its options are before it comes to you as part of the budget process or even sooner if we need to, to help the board understand what's the best course of action as we move away from its current relationship with Shentel to another relationship where it may involve additional equipment or other types of maintenance for 911 systems."
The administrator advised the board staff would come back to supervisors with a formal recommendation based on the options available.

This is truly reaching the absurd.
1. Why wasn't a study of needed staffing done BEFORE committing to a $100 million project that will have a marked effect on needed manpower?
2. We must spend $36-60K for "experts" to tell us what staffing is needed? With a county administrator, assistant county administrator, budget director, experienced sheriff and 6 self proclaimed management experts on the BOS, we have to spend this kind of money?? What happened to sharing information with other counties in our similar situation?
We obviously must have incompetents serving as the management of our county.
3. My guess is that this is cover for yet ANOTHER excuse to raise expenditures (it wasn't our fault, this is what the experts suggested).
... and I thought the absurd examples of government incompetency in Atlas Shrugged were exagerated...
If you take a look around, you will see the sheriffs office is over staffed already. Just how many deputies and chiefs do we need? Obviously they all have vehicles parked at their house all month and work but a few days a month. It might be time for a change in leadership and get rid of Carter and Proctor. Woodstock is always packed with deputies coming and going. How many deputies are on staff Carter? How many dispatchers?

Start by blending the more liquid ingredients, and then add and blend in the greens, a handful at a time until your blender is full.
Add water.
- 1 lemon outer yellow peel cut away
- 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup ice
- In a blender, blend the lemon, cucumber, banana, and apple.
- Add the herbs, and greens a bit at a time and blend
- Add water and ice.
- Continue blending.
- Add more water if needed.

Hi! Great sounding recipes! Just a question…when you say to use a lemon with the outer lemon peeled away-what does that mean exactly? Thick part is still used? Thank you!

"Domaine de Chevalier's fabulous 2005 white offers terrific acidity, body, and texture as well as high acidity, which suggests this wine should enjoy an incredibly long life. I recently had the 1985 at a charity dinner, and it is still remarkably youthful. The 2005 may last just as long, if not longer. Hints of figs, licorice, honeysuckle, and lemon oil are accompanied by a concentrated, dry, nearly austere wine, but there is so much going on, that it should be prodigious with another decade of cellaring. It will last for 30-40+ years.

The Wine Advocate
"The freshness of this wine feels timeless. It's still there four days after the bottle was opened, a beautiful fruit presence that's as essential as the feel of summer rain, rather than the taste of any fruit that rain may become. Depending on the moment you approach the wine, it's become a complex range of flavors, perhaps dried pineapple, orange pith or sour cherry, jasmine, honeysuckle or ginger. The descriptions may be overwrought, but the wine remains reserved (the wine makes me think of Catherine Deneuve, which is enough to make me happy). This will live well for 20 years or more.

Wine & Spirits
"A crisp, citrus wine, with good fresh fruit flavors. This has clean acidity, along with its ripe fruits, tempered with a touch of wood. As it develops, this wine will become bigger and more important

Domaine de Chevalier is located in a clearing in the middle of a forest that protects the vines from extremes of temprature. In fact Chevalier is a sort of secret garden, far from the limelight. This is something of a paradox for such an excellent wine, among the greatest in Bordeaux.

Bordeaux White Blend There's white wine in Bordeaux, too! Typically made from Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and bits of Muscadelle, white Bordeaux can be a fully dry table wine or, as in Sauternes, a deliciously sweet dessert wine. In other areas of the world, a Bordeaux blend consists primarily of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, either of which may be the predominant variety. Bordeaux blends can vary in style, but most have good acidity and often a mineral overtone.

The Chautauqua Institution is a non-profit adult education center and summer resort located on 750 acres (3 km²) in Chautauqua, New York, 17 miles (27 km) northwest of Jamestown in the western part of New York State. The Chautauqua Institution Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was further designated a National Historic Landmark.
It was founded in 1874 by inventor Lewis Miller and Methodist Bishop John Heyl Vincent as a teaching camp for Sunday school teachers. The teachers would disembark at Palestine Park, and begin a course of Bible study that used the Park to teach of the geography of the Holy Land.[3]
The Institution has operated each summer since then, gradually expanding its season length and program offerings organized around the four pillars: arts, education, religion and recreation. It offers a wide range of educational activities to an average of 75,000 people, in residence on any particular day during the season, and another 145,000 during the season attend public events, including popular entertainment, theater, symphony, ballet, opera and visual arts exhibitions.
The Institution also includes school of Special Studies, and a residential music program of intensive study is offered to students on the verge of professional careers who audition for admittance into Chautauqua's schools of fine and performing arts.
The physical setting of the Institution defined its development as an assembly. The grounds are situated on the west shoreline of upper Chautauqua Lake. The early tent camp assembly gave way to cottages and rooming houses, and then hotels and eventually condominiums. But much of the pastoral summer retreat on the lake survives.
In 1973 the National Park Service recognized the institution's historic importance by adding it to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1989, the Department of the Interior designated it a National Historic Landmark District, consisting of most of the Institution property between NY 394, formerly NY 17J, the lake and (roughly) Lowell and North avenues.[2][4]
Summer admission to Chautauqua is by "gate ticket" which allows entrance into the grounds, use of Smith Memorial Library, use of public beaches and parks, and attendance at lectures and concerts. There is an additional charge for some courses, for films shown at the Chautauqua Cinema, for opera and theater tickets, and for use of the golf course and tennis courts.
Programs offered during the week at Chatuauqua include a devotional service and a lecture on a social, political or academic issue in the morning, an afternoon lecture on a religious topic, and an evening program. This evening Amphitheater event may be a symphony concert by the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, a dance program by the Chautauqua Ballet Company, or a program by a special guest artist. During most weeks, there is at least one opportunity to catch an opera and a play, both put on by Chautauqua's resident summer companies. Operas are performed in English at Norton Hall, a 1930s era art deco structure. There are also regularly scheduled organ recitals on the Massey Memorial Organ, student recitals, master classes, forums, and seminars for the sophisticate.
A range of special studies courses in music, art, dance, drama and general topics are also offered. The Chautauqua Schools of Music offer extremely competitive programs on the basis of scholarship. George Gershwin visited Chautauqua as a summer refuge to compose parts of his Concerto in F in a small wooden piano studio and give its first public performance.[citation needed]
The 10:45 morning lecture program is one of the most distinctive features of the program at the Institution. The program for each week is built around a unifying theme, such as world events. Chautauqua has been visited by United States Presidents from Ulysses S. Grant to Bill Clinton, and by other prominent Americans including Booker T. Washington, Karl Menninger, Tom Ridge and, in 2006, Al Gore.[5] Franklin D. Roosevelt's historic "I hate war" speech was delivered from the podium in the Chautauqua Amphitheater (1936).[6]
Sundays at Chautauqua feature worship services, both denominational and ecumenical. There is an afternoon Amphitheater program, such as a military band or student dance program. On Sundays, entrance to the Institution grounds is free. Worship services are coordinated by the permanent Department of Religion staff.
There is an annual program held on the first Tuesday of each August called "Old First Night." This is the "birthday party" for the Institution, marking the opening of the first season back in 1874.[7]
One of the oldest day camps in the United States is the Chautauqua Boys and Girls Club, founded in 1893. The Children's School established in 1921, is a developmental preschool for youth ages 3–5, and was a pioneering program in the field of nursery school education. The program includes a social, recreational and educational activities which often incorporate other Chautauqua programs in the areas of music, drama and art.
The Institution's grounds, located between New York State Route 394 and Chautauqua Lake, include public buildings (such as the 6,000-seat Amphitheater), administrative offices, a library, a movie theater, a bookstore, hotels, condominiums, inns, rooming houses, and many private cottages. There are about 400 year-round residents, but in the summer the population swells as many as 10,000 at any one time. The Institution is largely a pedestrian community, with bikes and scooters seen everywhere and a 12 mph speed limit for cars. There are several parking lots located on the periphery of the grounds.
The Athenaeum Hotel on the grounds is the only hotel actually owned and operated by the Institution. The 156-room hotel, said to be the largest wooden building in the eastern United States, was built in the Second Empire style in 1881. It has a two story porch supported by narrow columns, with a central, mansard-covered tower.Athenaeum Hotel, Chautauqua Institution sample page in a coffee table book Although the number of hotel rooms has steadily declined on the grounds in the past thirty years, there has been a corresponding growth in condominiums. A supply of affordable housing remains a challenge on the grounds.
Palestine Park is a relief map of Palestine, showing the general contour of the area, including mountains, valleys, water-courses and cities.
The Chautauqua Prize is an annual American literary award established by the Chautauqua Institution in 2012.[8] The winner receives US$7,500 and all travel and expenses for a one-week summer residency at Chautauqua.[8] It is a "national prize that celebrates a book of fiction or literary/narrative nonfiction that provides a richly rewarding reading experience and honors the author for a significant contribution to the literary arts."[9]
Chautauqua's Department of Religion provides a wide variety of services of worship and programs that express the Institution's Christian heritage and its interfaith commitment. It provides lectures and educational programs that probe contemporary religious and theological ideas.
The Department of Religion strives to create a climate in which people who cherish various points of view and beliefs can exchange ideas, discuss their differences, and ponder the significance of their diverse experiences and insights.
The Chautauqua movement spread throughout the United States and was highly popular until the start of the World War II. By the mid-1920s, when circuit Chautauquas were at their peak, they appeared in over 10,000 communities to audiences of more than 45 million; by about 1940 they had run their course.
The ideals of the Chautauqua Institution were spread throughout the United States through a number of Independent Chautauqua assemblies, and a series of traveling Circuit Chautauqua assemblies, incorporating many of the program components of the Institution, including lectures, music, nondenominational preaching, and a focus on current issues. Several Independent Chautauquas continue into the 21st century.
The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC), founded in 1878 by Bishop Vincent, is America's oldest continuously operating book club.[10] It was founded to promote self-learning and study, particularly among those unable to attend higher institutions of learning. Six to nine books are added to the reading list each year, with authors generally coming to Chautauqua to discuss their writing and to talk with readers.

As the end of the year approaches, merchants are looking past the frenzy of the holiday season to top 2015 priorities — and for many, the future holds the challenging prospect of replatforming.
In fact, more than 40% of merchants are currently underway with a project or planning to start by the end of this year. As merchants survey the landscape of eCommerce solution providers, flexibility is likely to be a common refrain.
After all, supporting an online commerce business has never been more demanding. The pace of change is accelerating, driven by the increasing connectedness of consumers who are now as accustomed to shopping on their phones as in retail stores, and who are empowered by social media to influence brand success through word of mouth.
When evaluating eCommerce platforms, merchants need to tease out how solution providers can accommodate these ever-shifting needs — whether the core platform is intended to provide every feature, whether technology partners integrate their offerings with the code, and whether it's possible to take advantage of plug-in-like "agile" solutions that solve a focused need. MarketLive, for one, offers an array of out-of-the-box solutions, paired with extensible technology that integrates easily with both established and new partners.
In this process, merchants must not only ensure compatibility with existing iterations of their site, but attempt to predict what integrations and add-ons might be needed in the future — a tricky exercise to conduct without having a crystal ball, but a crucial one nonetheless, as the consequences of failing to plan for at least the forseeable challenges are significant. With eCommerce playing such a central role in the business, Web site failures are now high profile affairs that can cost companies millions – as when The Finish Line launched a new site in November 2012, only to experience outages that led to missed quarterly earnings projections. And headlines from this year about multiple instances of hacking at eBay serve as a chilling reminder that brand reputation and trust, and years of potential lost sales, could be at stake if systems become vulnerable.
To avoid the potential pitfalls of replatforming gone awry while still embracing innovation, merchants must strike a balance between flexibility and stability. The spectrum of eCommerce platform options is vast. Ultimate flexibility but also a high degree of complexity and risk can be found in the "wild West" of open-source solutions on one end; on the other, some hosted platforms offer technology that's so rigidly controlled there's no room for individual sites to innovate.
MarketLive's new eBook on replatforming examines how to navigate between these two technology extremes and outlines the 30 most crucial questions to ask when evaluating new technology vendors. The questions fall into three crucial categories:
- Flexibility: the ability to get started quickly with a full set of features out of the box, and integrate further cutting-edge technology in the future
- Performance: the ability to scale both for seasonal spikes and for long-term growth
- Security: the ability to proactively fend off attacks and comply with industry standards
Download the eBook today for a comprehensive look at replatforming considerations, along with a matrix worksheet.

What is so hard with all these?
(Source: codiannthomsen)
5 reasons why I can't be in a relationship.
1. I love flirting. I let me know that I still have a market out there and it feels good.
2. I can't be in 2 places at the same time. When I'm with my boyfriend and my friends text me, Imma be effing jealous. Plus, I always wanna go out on Saturday nights, please.
3. I tend to be clingy. Boys don't like that.
4. My family is not prepared for it. They have not met a guy for 26 years.
5. I can't be in a freaking relationship because all 4 items listed above are hypocrisy. I like flirting in hopes of finding that one guy who is man enough to get to know me better. I can spend Saturday nights with him. Alone. Anywhere. I don't need boys, I need a man and men like clingy women. My family prays every night that I'll finally meet the right man for me. TRUTH IS, I wanna be in a relationship so bad, I can't afford to have it and lose it when I'm already all about it. So, I'd rather not have it than lose it anyway.
perfect! :)

I don't shave for Sherlock Holmes!
"Finally i can photobomb myself!" "Benedict's figure will be 'premiere ready', showing the actor looking impeccably groomed in a stylish dark suit. His immaculate red carpet style will be paired with a warm and relaxed expression, and his famous tousled hairstyle. Work on the figure is well underway, and the actor has been heavily involved with the creation process. Benedict has given two sittings for our talented studios team, during which hundreds of precise measurements and numerous photographs were captured to be used by our sculptors and artists. "Finally I can photobomb myself!" joked Cumberbatch. "What a weird and wonderful compliment to be included in the ranks of talent already committed to wax. I've been accused of being wooden in my work but never waxy! The main privilege for me was the process and seeing the amount of exacting work and skill brought to every detail of this art form. It is a wonderful combination of old and new, hi-tech and lo-fi skills. Measurements, hand inserted individual hairs and sculpted features. As a subject, you stand still surrounded by sculpters, painters, photographers, measurers and a whole army of people who bring together your likeness… it's an extraordinary experience. Also my agents will be thrilled, they've wanted a clone of me for some time!" Benedict's figure will be the latest British star to join our A-list line up, and will take up residence in October, alongside fellow Brits Judi Dench and Kate Winslet, as well as a host of Hollywood names from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, to Julia Roberts and Johnny Depp. More at the website.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews was revealed as the No. 77 player on the NFL Network's annual "Top 100 Players of 2014" list on Wednesday night.
For Matthews, that represented a significant drop—he was No. 31 on the same list for 2013.
But Matthews missed five regular-season games, as well as the team's Wild Card Playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers because of a fractured thumb and was limited to 41 tackles and 7.5 sacks. He did match a career high, however, with three forced fumbles.
Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell said Matthews was an easy pick.
"Going off his production and the intensity he brings to the game, he's just a fierce linebacker and you have to respect him," Bell said. "For that reason, I would put him in the [top] hundred."
Bell's teammate, tight end Joseph Fauria, knows first-hand what Matthews brings.
"He's definitely a guy who is a tremendous threat off the edge as a pass rusher," Fauria said. "He's a forced to be reckoned with. We face him twice a year and we definitely game plan for him."
Teammates respected his effort when he attempted to play through the thumb injury last season.
"He's a playmaker," defensive end Mike Daniels said. "Even when he had the broken thumb and had that club on his hand, teams had to account for Clay."
Of course, no discussion of Matthews is complete without getting into the personality side of things.
"He's a guy who deserves what he's paid … and he's great on TV," Fauria said, referencing Matthews' bevy of endorsements and commercials.
And then there's the hair.
"I think I've gotten hit with some water flying off the tips of his hair sometimes," Daniels said. "You can hear it slap against his jersey. I think he throws it around like that on purpose."
Matthews is the third Packer to be revealed on the list. On May 14, running back Eddie Lacy was revealed as the No. 90 player on the list and wide receiver Jordy Nelson was identified as the No. 83 player during the same airing.
Players 61 through 70 will be revealed next Wednesday.
Matthews, who is entering his sixth season out of USC, was the 26th overall pick in the 2009 draft by the Packers and is a four-time Pro Bowler who was an All-Pro selection in 2010.
He has 50 career sacks—fourth on the Packers' all-time list—to go with four interceptions, 10 forced fumbles and 245 tackles.

Treating pets for fleas can be a hassle. You can spend out a lot on inferior treatments that seem cheaper but actually end up costing you time and money. This is why it is important that you choose a quality flea product that works such as Frontline for dogs.
With Frontline for dogs you can be sure that you are tackling fleas effectively the first time. This means no more wasting your cash on products that promise a lot but fail to deliver. Frontline for dogs is one of the leading flea treatments on the market and recommended by animal care professionals across the country.
How does Frontline Work?
Frontline for dogs works in a very powerful way to protect your pets from the nuisance of tiny parasites like fleas and ticks. The most important aspect of Frontline is that it provides constant 24/7 protection. This means as soon as a flea feeds from your pet it will ingest the product.
- Frontline is not harmful to dogs but it is fatal to fleas and directly attacks their central nervous system.
- This means that within just a few hours of ingesting the Frontline the fleas will be drop off your pets and die.
- Frontline for dogs can be administered quickly and easily using tablet or 'Spot On' formats. This is so much more convenient and less stressful than powder or spray flea treatments.
- If you find it very difficult to treat your pets then the Spot On option is highly recommended. All you will have to do is place a small drop of the Frontline on the skin on the back of your pet's neck.
- They will not feel a thing and it will be over before they realise what is happening. Also because of where the product is located your pets will not be able to lick off the Frontline before it can get to work.
- This ideal for those pets that lick off powder or spray flea treatments as ingesting this type of product can cause nausea and ill health.
Why Treat Fleas?
It is important that you take action to treat fleas on your pets and in your home. These small parasites can breed very quickly and cause health problems to both humans and animals. Even if your pet has just a few fleas this can rapidly turn into an infestation.
- Fleas can be very uncomfortable for pets. As well as causing intense itching and scratching fleas can also transmit worm eggs to pets and humans.
- Fleas are nasty parasites that can cause a number of health problems. For vulnerable pets this can include skin problems and acute anaemia.
- It makes sense to deal with fleas by using Frontline for dogs before they can become a problem in your home. This will make life so much more comfortable and much healthier for both pets and your family.
When you are treating your pets for fleas you can save money and hassle by using a quality product first time. Frontline for dogs is a superior flea treatment that offers fast and effective results.

Premium Content Homer's Definition of Leadership and Honor as Presented in the Iliad
By James Pershing - September 20, 2010
In his Iliad, Homer uses the character of Diomedes to personify his definition of effective leadership, often juxtaposing him with the unproductive and cowardly Agamemnon. Homer believes that the bravery to assert one's opinions and the willingness to act independently, even against authority, constitutes a successful leader. After suffering severe…

i keep returning to this product..i have used it on and off for the past few years and find it gentle enough for my incredibly sensitive skin. it is non drying and feels refreshing and light. strongly recommended. can be drying in the winter- then I recommend Bobbi Brown Rich Cream Cleanser
This is one of my favorite Dermalogica products. I've tried all of their cleansers and I really like this one the most. I tried it after getting a BAD case of prickly heat rash and I love that it is totally fragrance free, gentle enough that it doesn't make my eyes red, is non-foaming and leaves me clean but not too dry. It does NOT take off make-up, but I use either Boscia's cleansing oil first or I will use the ultra calming cleanser with my Clarisonic Brush (love this device) to remove my face make-up. I still need to use an eye make-up remover to get the last mascara and eye liner off though. I bought the largest size of this available and it has a pump bottle making dispensing easier. I'll probably repurchase this cleanser again but I might give Juice Beauty's organic facial cleanser (the new one) a try when this runs out. This is a good cleanser for sensitive, dry, or combo skin. I don't think it would be a good choice for truly oily skin as it doesn't foam or emulsify oil like the dermal clay cleanser or a foaming gel product. Not my HG cleanser but it's really high on the list.
EDIT: After using this product and repeatedly buying it for almost a year I have decided that this IS my HG cleanser. I can mix in anything I need to it - some exfoliator, my cleansing oil for make-up, even a clay-based mask - and it works beautifully to gently clean my face. A really good, basic cleanser that doesn't foam or have any frills - love it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this is an amazing product for those with sensitive skin. it feels so calming and gentle on the skin, i love the feeling and the mild scent. the bottle lasts forever aswell. like similar products it does leave a bit of a residue but a little toner removes that. i dont think its that effective removing makeup especially long wear stuff like revlon colorstay so i team it with the precleanse and it works really well. now all i need to find is the perfect mosituriser that doesnt make me feel greasy but gives enough moisture and the solution to the stubborn blackheads on my nose and im sorted!
I can't believe how fantastic this stuff is. I have fair, English rose skin that was always fair and normal but then I over product-ed it and it started getting very sensitive - couldn't even tolerate water, and things like Avene ultra gentle cleanser even stung. Then I read the largely positive reviews on this site, but was still a little hesitant to try because of the lavender content (essential oils in the proportion used in Dr Hauschka, Decleor etc proved very irritant for me). But so many reviews were so glowing that I decided to try it - and my goodness it is incredible. Smells good, feels lovely. And so after two days use I thought I would even try it on my very sensitive eyes thinking it would definitely sting - but no, it didn't, not one jot - and this is some kind of miracle as to date I've only ever found one eye make up remover that didn't - Boots Skin Kindly now renamed Skin Expert, and also pure sweet almond oil.
So, I highly recommend this cleanser, couldn't recommend it more.
If you are sensitive, or just want a fantastic cleanser, try this.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this cleanser. It's very gentle and got a lovely texture. My skin is sensitive and prone to break out, and this cleanser helps with both problems. It cleans my face really well, removing all make up, and dosen't irritate my skin at all. Would definitely buy it again when it runs out, although it's a bit pricey - it lasts a long time.
As much as I tried to like this, it just didn't agree with my skin. This feels amazing when I put it on and take it off, it wasn't drying and my skin felt smooth and soft. However, after using this for about a week or two, it made my skin red and bumpy to the point that my mother even noticed.
I can see this working wonders for other people, but not me.
Which may be good, considering the price.
This is my favorite Dermalogica cleanser. Its very gently and does a good job cleaning, it leaves the skin very soft. It soft of reminds me of a nicer smelling version of Cetaphil... except more expensive
This is awesome. I recently had a dried out disaster due to too many AHAs and BHAs and this completely soothed and calmed my skin. Will definitely repeurchase this. A great cleanser for winter, which calms acne and doesn't dry your skin out.
Good gentle cleanser, it didnt irritated my sensitive skin or made me break out (my skin clogs easily)
I would repurcase, but im looking for something else because even when i think its a good cleanser, i think some cheaper ones can do the job just as good, and because i already use to much money on skincare and haircare its just to much to spend for it when its not a miracle cleanser for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is great as a morning cleanser, gentle and smooth for sensitive skin. I donot know if it really cleanses but I feel good using it. I recommend using the sponge cloth removing it from face. But, it definitely is not one for the night. surely will repurchase.
