Formula One fans in North America were justifiably excited when the FIA published its provisional calendar for next season. Not only did it include the perennial Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal and the (still new) US Grand Prix in Austin, but also races in both New Jersey and Mexico. But a lot can change in between the provisional calendar and the finalized one. And the latest reports from the F1 circuit indicate that both the grands prix in Jersey and Mexico might not make the cut.
The issue apparently comes down to readiness, and neither of the tracks being prepared for the races in question are expected to be ready in time to host the expansion races. The problems with the Jersey track have been off and on for some time now, but the construction of the pits and paddock complex in Mexico has apparently faced more setbacks than expected.
As a result, we could be looking at a 20-race calendar next season, which most of the teams agree is the maximum they could accommodate, anyway. However, the vacancy could allow for the Indian Grand Prix to continue on for next season instead of sitting it out.

My podcast playlist
These are the podcasts I listen to. In no particular order:
These are the podcasts I listen to. In no particular order:
Sometime in April, I've been contacted by the nice people from Ibuildings if I'd be interested to give a presentation at the upcoming Dutch Mobile Conference. I said 'yes', so a month from now I'll be in Amsterdam speaking about Web Performance Optimisation.
To give you a better idea of what to expect, here is the structure of my keynote:
In the beginning of the talk I will try to make some strong arguments, backed by numbers, why Web Performance Optimisation is still extremely relevant and how it helps users and businesses as well.
Afterwards, my focus will shift towards listing the most effective optimisation techniques and explaining how they work. I will also share a number of tools that help automate these techniques. This will be the core of the presentation.
The final part of the session will be dedicated to discussing the new challenges of web optimisation and how to make better use of a device's capabilities.
Besides me, obviously, there will be other talented people that will speak about various topics, so if you decide to attend DMC14 I'm sure there will be plenty of interesting things to see. In the meantime you can get tickets here.
The best presentation I attended the first day was JavaScript ♥ Unicode by Mathias Bynens. Although the topic was a bit obscure, Mathias, besides being a great developer is also a talented speaker, so the talk was both informative and entertaining.
Another keynote that interested me a lot was given by Sakri Rosenstrom. He shared a few tips and tricks on how to improve the performance of HTML5 Canvas, something that I'm currently using on a project.
For me, the most anticipated part of the second day was Bert Timmermans' presentation: "Gotta code them all, a Pokémon and HTML5 love story". While I used to work with Bert and have seen various demos before, I was really curious to see the progress on his project - writing a Pokémon game in Javascript. The highlight of the talk was, obviously, the demo. Which I think impressed everybody. Well done, Bert!
Somewhat surprising, because I almost skipped it, the talk that, let's say, inspired me the most was the one from Dominic Wilcox. Dominic is an artist that makes wacky and interesting things. But it was not his work that stuck with me, it was the fact that people were talking about it and even using it. So what I realised at the end of his presentation was that almost no matter what you do, the internet is a pretty big place. And almost always there is a group of people that will be interested in what you make. You just have to make something and put it out there.
Probably by now a lot of people know what Mailplane is. So, as you can imagine, I use it to manage my four Gmail accounts. It has the features of a desktop app combined with the power of the Google machine.
Still my favourite Twitter client. I cannot find anything better in the market. But with its moderate stagnation and my ever-growing "following" number, YoruFukurou might not be as appealing as it once was. So the thought of building my on Twitter client is back.
It's difficult to give it a better description than I have last year. Maybe this video of David Teare at Çingleton will shed some more light on the company(AgileBits) that makes 1Password. Also, have a look at the App Store "Best of 2013".
Another one from last year's list. I use it for a lot of things. Like keeping stuff that might be helpful in the near future or writing blog posts, like this one. Because it's just easy to switch from my iMac to my iPad and that's a feature that I appreciate a lot.
Chat and video calls. That pretty much sums it up. It does a good job at these two things. And it's great that it runs on all the popular platforms, since I gave my old iPad to my parents.
I use this application to listen to podcasts. It's free and open-source. A great combination, if you ask me. The main reason I chose it over iTunes consists in a feature that I consider crucial for a podcast app. I'll talk about this in a later blog post.
Although discontinued and replaced with a shinier app called Ember, LittleSnapper still works great for me. Because it serves my purpose so well I haven't even tried the new app yet. Maybe that's a mistake I'm gonna fix in 2014, though.
It helps me with everything that is not "client work". So at home I use it quite a lot for making the screenshots for CSS Religion, for example. I feel the need to also mention Sketch here, although I haven't had the chance to use that much. But that might change soon.
This famous text editor is very reliable and makes my coding even more enjoyable. If you might have any feature request there's probably a plugin(package) that can do what you're looking for. In 2013 I've also started using Vim. But mostly on my iPad via ssh.
I have been using Transmit for a very long time. With no complaints. It does FTP very well, but the thing that impresses me is the way it works with Amazon S3. It makes it seem so simple! Also, Cabel Sasser gave an excellent talk at XOXO about Panic(the company that makes Transmit).
Dropbox is so good that I've never thought of using Google Drive or iCloud or SkyDrive. I just wish it had more pricing options. But it probably doesn't make sense from an economic standpoint. Anyway, be sure to check Drew Houston's Y Combinator Funding Application for Dropbox.
Drag-n-drop awesomeness and hassle-free image compression. I can't find a reason why to not use it. By compressing images I save a bit on my Amazon S3 bill, but more importantly, my website's visitors save time and bandwidth.
I found this little gem of an app a few months ago and I've been using it every day since. It plays music from The Hype Machine. With a beautiful and space efficient design it fits my desktop quite well. And did I mention it's free?
As a note to this list, I want mention that after quite a few years of using Chrome as my default browser, in 2013, I went back to Safari. For speed and more privacy. And although I use Adobe products at work, I didn't add them to the list because I'm not excited to talk about them.
And I'm not saying this with any arrogance that these two books would suffice for a whole year. Quite the opposite: I admit, shamefully, that I read so little. The only small defence I can present is that my Instapaper's full and my podcast subscription list has doubled in 2013.
So here are the two books:
I enjoyed both of them and I hope next year to read two books a month.
This script has been tested only in Mavericks. If you have applications that start at login and use the 'cookied' process, you might experience some unexpected behavior from those apps.
Let me exemplify: I have Mailplane enabled to open at startup and I use Gmail's 2-step verification. If the 'cookied' process is stopped while Mailplane is running, the latter will not be able to access the cookies, so Google will send me an SMS with the code to authorize the computer - pretty unpleasant to have it every day.
Clearly, this situation can be avoided by just starting Mailplane after checking if 'cookied' has started, something that can be done fairly easy with some more AppleScript.
I absolutely love this kind of stories. Because it easily shows how exploratory and intelligent design is much more valuable than any flat design.
Excellent collection of app designs and icons made for iOS 7:
In all fairness, this is more of a workaround than a fix.
For some reason, this is how I organize my work folder:
The problem with Finder is that the date of a file only affects the date of its direct parent. Everything a level up remains unchanged. So this is how you end up with the situation below:
Normally, this is not big issue. But imagine 100 project folders and having to update something you've worked on 3 months ago. Adding a new file to that project wouldn't change the order of the folders at all. And this is where sort by 'Date Modified' misbehaves.
As you may have expected, it involves some AppleScript. But also a Unix command: "touch"

Monoprix, one of France's leading retailers, today presented the outcomes of its extended efforts to be more customer-centric. Monoprix CEO Stéphane Maquaire shared the results of the company's five-year partnership with dunnhumby, the world's leading customer science company, at the National Retail Federation's (NRF) BIG Show.
Since 2009, Monoprix has worked with dunnhumby to put the customer at the center of every business decision. This includes specific programs to better understand customers and to serve their wants and needs across Monoprix's portfolio of 500 stores. Gaining a better understanding of Monoprix customers through shopping habits, price sensitivity, and lifestyles has been the starting point of the collaboration.
Along with dunnhumby France COO Emmanuel Déchelette, Maquaire revealed that Monoprix has learned that rewarding loyal customers results in the greatest profits. The partnership also confirmed that offering free home delivery could be profitable, with Monoprix earning more than €6 million in additional margin on an annual basis by providing the service.
Further results shared at the NRF BIG Show include the outcomes of Monoprix's customer pricing strategy, findings on price elasticity for price sensitive customers, and details of how Monoprix has maximized returns on its personalized communications with 600,000 customers every month.
"Monoprix has invested five years in learning how to serve its customers better," said Mr. Maquaire. "Our partnership with dunnhumby has showed us that investment in long-term initiatives yields more revenue than trying to achieve short-term gains. We think attendees at the NRF's BIG Show will be very interested in seeing how Monoprix has applied data-driven customer insights to create long-term value and larger profits."
"Using transactional sales data to drive business decisions is nothing new," said Déchelette. "But it is a common practice that often leads to short-term gains at the expense of long-term benefits. The results of our work with Monoprix that we are sharing will be compelling to any retailer focused on bigger profits that last far longer than a few months."
The National Retail Federation expects more than 27,500 attendees at the four-day BIG Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. The annual conference and expo attracts the world's top retailers, introducing the latest in retail innovation and trends that are transforming the industry. In addition to Monoprix and dunnhumby, other influential presenters at this year's BIG Show include Jack Dorsey, co-founder and Chairman of Twitter and CEO of Square; Terry J. Lundgren, Chairman, President and CEO of Macy's, and Nordstrom President Blake W. Nordstrom.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Kim Kardashian and others salute Spanx
Posted: October 03, 2012|
Flicking through glossy magazines and looking at pictures of toned to perfection A-listers can leave you feeling a little put out. Many celebrities have made it part of their job to put in hours at the gym in order to look a million dollars in a bikini, but we're happy to report that there are still a fair few famous faces out there that are more than happy to use the odd cheat in order to look their best on the red carpet.
Although Kim Kardashian has recently denied wearing Spanx shapewear under a sheer Stella McCartney dress, the reality TV star has always been refreshingly open about her love for the figure enhancing underwear. Despite having an enviable figure, much like the rest of us, Kim has admitted that she's not entirely happy with her body. Luckily, Spanx are on hand for those days when Kim isn't feeling her best and she credits them as being the "greatest invention". High praise indeed!
But it isn't just the Kardashian sister that turns to Spanx in times of need. From Sienna Miller to Julia Roberts, there are a whole host of celebrities that are happy to admit that they feel that little bit more secure when they're wearing Spanx. Actress Katherine Heigl once admitted to Oprah that she wore even them under her wedding dress. Incidentally, the talk show host is also a big fan, claiming to wear the shapewear every day.
So what is it about Spanx that makes them such a must for celebrities? Before she invented Spanx, the founder of the company was getting increasingly frustrated with not being able to confidently wear a pair of white trousers. In order to counteract the problem, she snipped away at some control top tights and a revolution was started. Celebrities and countless women around the world have often faced the same problem, and knowing that with a little help you can attend an event or party feeling comfortable and secure is absolutely priceless.
If you're in a need of a little confidence boost, then designer boutique The Editeur stocks Spanx shapewear, as well as designer lingerie from a huge number of other brands. Whether it's a little temporary nip and tuck you're after from Spanx or Wolford, or a beautiful lace number from Mimi Holliday then The Editeur will undoubtedly have something that will leave you feeling like you could walk down the red carpet with pride.

Report: Data key ingredient for successful agency performance reviews
Monday - 10/3/2011, 9:33am EDT
Keeping federal agencies on track and on task requires a "check of the pulse" every now and then.
The IBM Center for the Business of Government has published what it hopes will be a roadmap for measuring agency performance, "A Guide to Data-Driven Performance Reviews."
John Kamensky, a senior fellow and associate partner at the center, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris with some pointers from the guide.
The IBM Center report aimed to develop strategies for federal executives to monitor and improve agency efficiency and effectiveness.
"This goal is pursued through the use of regularly scheduled, structured, data-driven meetings to review performance indicators with department or program personnel," the report found, with data being the key ingredient of these reviews.

A History of Resistance in the Congo | Possible Futures →
Thanks to @viewfromthecave for the link.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has an image problem. Sometimes it is viewed as the most violent of violent societies. At other times its population is viewed as passive and fatalistic. This essay attempts to shed some light on this paradox. Its underlying thesis is that the Congolese people have shown a great interest in the politics of their country. When given a chance they have used the right to vote in sophisticated ways, and when they felt betrayed have supported dynamic protest movements—sometimes violent, sometimes non-violent. However, there have been long and frequent periods when external interventions have rendered protest seemingly hopeless. During such periods the Congolese have often appeared to be apolitical and passive. Yet there have also been periods where Congolese have mobilized to oppose and even overcome such external intervention, particularly in the East. Ultimately, we must ask ourselves whether the growing resistance to the Kinshasa regime in the wake of the recent national elections will manifest itself in a new (and possibly violent) protest movement, or whether repression by the regime will result in another period of seeming passivity.

We are having a teaching week on Incarnation and it is blowing my mind. I am so ready for this break, my mind is so full. I believe my issue is that I am trying to solve the church's problems inside my head - its hard!
Today and tomorrow a prof from l'ETEM (the menno school out here) is teaching us. He's a good (converted) menno, who like most converted mennos, knows more about my history than I do. He spent a good chunk reference Abbotsford - because how can you talk about the Mennonite movement and not talk about our little bible belt? In honesty, I didn't get most of what he was saying, I hope tomorrow he ties up the lose ends.
I have mixed feels about returning home, pretty much all of them are good but there are just complications with family and wedding and all that planning stuff that I ain't looking forward to. But to get away from this snow, and speak English 24/7, yes please! I'm avoid packing right now, I fly home in less than 24 hours. It is not that I don't want to go home, I do in the worst way. I guess I just don't like packing. Here goes nothing.
One thirty am tossing in my bed due to a caffine high, but mainly rage/anger. Some major prayer is needed for myself, my housemates, and the future of this DTS. Jesus what have you gotten me into?
Tomorrow is nothing day #2 so I will write up some stuff I have been thinking/writing.
But we had a German women show up on our doorstep last night. We were told a few hours before that she would be arriving, but other than that it was rather random. She came to our community meal tonight which despite my lack of social attitude was pretty fun. It reminded me of first coming here and what I loved: language. We started our dinner with a prayer in Portuguese and since there wasn't a common language that everyone was fluent enough to speak it a combination of German, English, Dutch, and French were spoken. For fun some Spanish words were thrown in. A fun experience.
I'm here! I made it and have had a fun time getting to know the city. Hopefully I'll get internet in my apartment in a week or so, I've posted some photos on facebook. Click through to read the happenings of the past few days.
Emotional wreck. I'm not sure if I'm overtired, stressed, battling a small case of depression or a little haywire from hormones pushed on me, but that's what I am. On top of that all, my impatience is overflowing into horrible nightmares. Ain't no rest for the wicked, I guess.
Women use exclamation points online as indicators of a "friendly interaction." We've been socialized to try to make people feel comfortable and to keep the peace. Hence sentences like, "Bill, I can't wait to see the 4th quarter EMBO Report on the new 12-gauge ball bearings!"
She's not excited to see that report. No one is excited to see that report. She's letting Bill know that she's not angry that it's late yet. When she's angry, she'll use a period.
An Open Letter to the Person in Charge of New Punctuation
(via halliecantor and nogreatillusion) (via vivaleah)
(via claudia)
(via onemoretimewithfeeling)
Because food is my life, I would like to share my dinner last night. It also happens to be the cure for a lonely, lovesick heart.
1 large cup chocolate milk
1 peanut butter and jam sandwhich
1 bowl of fresh peaches and whipping cream
Coffee and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the smell, the taste, the dark rich color. I love how it gets me going in the morning, and how it can great wonderful community. But too much of anything is a bad thing, they say. I'm hopelessly addicted. Every year or so I detox myself, and lately signs have indicated it's that time again. If I don't have at least half a cup in the morning, by 1 P.M. life sucks something harsh. As soon as I get my hands on the coffee again I become a whole different person, it's a tad scary.
I've been house sitting on and off for the past two months and I don't make coffee here, instead I have green tea. Today needed something a little more to get me through this weekend, so my mother delivered me a grande dark roast black coffee from Starbucks. ( I can drink all the free coffee I want at work, but it's crap and I prefer my fair trade, but I'll settle for Starbucks.) Anyways, this really perked me up, but now I have caffeine shakes! My hands are shaking worse then I can ever recall having.
Perhaps this is a good metaphor for my life. But, I will have to get back to you on that once my heart starts racing and the feeling of paranoia goes away.
There's nothing as lonely as making dinner for one.
I'd just like the world to know that tonight I'm sleeping alone, again. And I'm terribly not okay with this. My life is not where I want it to be.
I've been feeling odd lately, can't quite but my finger on it. I'm still searching - for something to make me feel complete, somewhere to call home, and some someones to belong with.
I'm also leaving teenagedom in less then a week. I feel as if I should be doing some wild and crazy things. Instead I'm spending my week with a sickening feeling in my gut. I guess this is part of growing up - dealing with life and the complications it brings. I'm having irregular cycles, which could mean a number of things but I won't get any indication for another month. I get to spend this last week of being a kid taking little white pills until I bleed and then get to have someone stab me in arm, and then spend the first month of being a young adult with a worried voice gnawing in the back of my mind. I want to cry all the time.
Joy among joys, happy birthday, welcome to adulthood.
In the end I'm a hopeless wreck,
not even you can save me.

These Song Elegy poems are examples of Elegy poems about Song. These are the best examples of Song Elegy poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
The field is wet with sunshine,
Ripe grasses green and high;
With a reaper in the meadow,
And a bird flies in the sky.
There's a nest with little babies,
With three beaks opened wide;
A reaper's in the meadow,
And a song hangs in the sky.
The meadow's ripe with summer,
And a tragedy passes by;
With a scythe in the meadow,
And a song up in the sky.
To see her blog, adorned with pastel tones
Widens the gap that pervades my bones
For now we eat her passing meal of plain white rice
Leaving us all alone, without much needed fashion advice
The red light district has lost an inductee
For I would have love to be involved in her naked party
Yet for now we must all be content
With the debauched path she hath went.
Sadness invades a binary world
Where tweeters and bloggers hearts have curled
Bringing back memories of Madonna's 'Like A Virgin'
Her fashion advice precise like a mastoplexic surgeon
I remember the fervour when you were followed by Kath Kidston
A similar experience when I had my first Jar of Branston
Yet when you found out the intensity with which I was following you
You wanted to change species and become a Gnu
You learnt to accept my frequent outpourings of love
When you finally spoke to me, I felt as free as a pure white dove
But upon your departure I feel pathetic and hollowed
The best I can hope for is the number of one of the hot bloggers you followed
She was always my muse, my intimate inspiration
No-one can cause such an outpouring of personal perspiration
My heart now yearns to see her type a special tweet
One that would make Mr Sexton act like a dog on heat
Now the world mourns the passing of Lily Fulvio-Mason
I can still see her face reflected in my wash basin
With every heart beat, every full blooded pulse
My sadness streaked blood makes my body convulse
But now it's time to go, my heart says goodbye
The pain eats my nipples like the Syrphid Fly
I can finally see your body laid in an eternal rest
And now I can now finally uncover your breast.
The song starts to play and I start to cry
How can so much hurt come from a song like that?
Once upon a time it used to bring me happiness and laughs
Now all it brings me is sorrow
You were my world and the song was ours
Now you're gone leaving me with nothing but a broken heart
It isn't easy to forget about everything
That song meant so much to me and now it's all been taken away
I had a dream that the song was going to bring us together again
But now, I don't want to listen to the song anymore
The song is a constant reminder of our tragedy and it will always hurt
I've tried to forget but nothing seems to work
I'll listen to that song a million times more
Until the day we are reunited, together forever
my song is gone
my lips cannot speak
my tongue's tied
my head's turn'd bald o'er-night
my people what do you say?
death's cruel!
death's a grinding machine
show me the house
that receives her blow
& stands firm!
In my cradle,
My tiny body was cradled
In my mothers arms.
My gem among gems,
I remember when I cried
You comforted me with
your soothing words.
Your re-assuring hands
Secured me till Death's
Cold hands snatched you
From me,a sucker I was
That needed you most.
Adieu! Sweet mum till
We cross paths again!

Sing a song of Taj Mahal
A landmark of lovers
And a lover's edifice
With medieval bowers
Tis a mecca for tourists
Tis sensational, tis exceptional,
tis truly a touristy place
Watch the shine and shimmer
of its magnificent marbled
By the glimmer of moonlight
or sunlight, it's imperial chrome
So it's ironical then
that though Indian I am
I haven't yet been to this
touristy place
It is truly as they must say, a
lover's shrine
A place where hearts tend to
They find it steamy
I find it dreamy
Oh I've to see for myself this
touristy place.
Each of the marbled minarets
conceal some romantic secrets
For lovers to silently explore
To admire and to adore
A place few lovers could ignore
Ah, you've got to visit this
touristy place
Two famed lovers lie in the
legendary vault below
and the stream too has a
romantic flow
A lover's haven, a paradise on
Even dead passions there
undergo a new rebirth
Ah rekindle my love in this
touristy place!
Extol I may this awesome
imposing edifice
A greed for pure love is
perhaps better than avarice
So sing a song of Taj Mahal
A nice nazm or a great ghazal
So forever we have this
Ah take me my love to this
touristy place!
Farewell to the father,
Rolling up our long days dream,
This is the road u always pass through in April,
Thou has ever, always returning successfully,
Out looking for those greener pastures,
Thy abundant descendant to feed,
Will that be a crash cruise?
What has happened to thy spinal cord?
Cry not but my lingering tears drops,
Like a water fall,
Is this the end of the road?
The road thou promise to take me,
Sticking to your song of praise for hope,
Pouring praises to His foot in your state,
To have your soul & thy faith like a rock,
Until the third survival of night fall,
I stood head up to watch his majestic exit,
Oh death has caused me greater harm,
It has broken the branch on which I perch.
Thou have posed thy duty for me,
This song we sang to pass over our sorrowful joy,
To thou, I swear I be no prodigal,
As the has chosen to make merry,
Of thy sweat in grave,
My quest for knowledge lying in waste,
Who will send me to the fountain of knowledge?
As thou promise me of this,
This cross, I will carry for you,
Who will dry my tears?
As death as hindered your journey.
Weep not, rest and sleep,
Till His second arrival,
And there with Him we will live forever,
And death will part us no more.
Because I have so little time,
I only hope, for what is mine--
in my blood so dark and hot
is a bright and fevered spot--
O let me be, to sing again
without the penalty of pain,
lest I, before my time, be torn
from life, and to the grave be borne--
my nostrils full of soil, my ears
stopp'd by grave and ritual tears--
O let me be, lest they will tread
--my children-- on their mother's head
before my song for them is done,
before my course on earth is run,
before they learn the song I sing:
that love can conquer
this poem is written in the shape of a funereal urn
"I am a song that needs to be sung."
Words by John Denver inscribed in Aspen.
While walking the path alongside the Rio Grande
A circle of stones in memory of John Denver does stand.
Inscribed on the rocks are the words of his songs.
They moved me deeply as I strolled along.
Realizing that I was in Aspen because I did spy
A tribute to John Denver's Rocky Mountain High.
It sparked a desire to experience Aspen for myself.
Now here I am encircled with John Denver's wealth.
I wasn't a huge fan, but I did enjoy his songs.
His words stand tall beyond being written in stone.
I moved along the trail into an evergreen forest
Dwarfed by the pines as the river flows toward us.
Emotional connectivity with Aspen's sheer mountain beauty.
Sitting on a rock in the river my only duty.
Feeling inspired to move again on the trail
An energy spoke to me; no words were entailed.
You are a song that needs to be sung
You are a bell that needs to be rung.
You are the newness of fresh mountain air
You are the energy of spring's budding stare.
You are the eagle resting in its high nest
Ready to soar through the sky when the time is best.
You are the Rocky Mountain High
Colorado is the place for you to sigh.
Heave out the energy that is stored within
Sing your own song with a loving spin.
In gratitude I salute John Denver's soul.
In the beauty of the Rockies, he continues his role.
Inspiring people to greater heights through his words.
Thank you, John Denver, for my heartfire heard.

Rapunzel sketches.
I love drawing her ridiculous hair. ♡.♡
Every time I'm feeling stuck with my art, it's good to go back and see how much further I've come. #tbt to Rapunzel c. 2010, and Elsa c. 2013. ☀❄ #mycolorsandshadingaresomuchnicernow #tangled #frozen #improvement
I'm trying to finish art trades and requests (old ones, school is crushing me so no new requests), and this Rapunzel is for my amazing, talented InternetWyfe Andells, who is the absolute shit, yo!! She is Rapunzel and I am Merida and we will skip off into the sunset forever.
Oh, and I'm kind of partial to the concept art designs of her, so that's why no purple outfit here. I'M SORRY IF YOU LIKED THE PURPLE BB, BUT I COULDN'T HELP IT. ;_____;
I keep finding different concept art that was made for Rapunzel until they finally settled on what they wanted her to look like. It kinda really makes me wish that they had used traditional animation for this film.
"He's always making the expression that he's drawing… he's making the expression even more than what he's drawing. We didn't set this up, he's really doing this."
—John Kahr, when talking about Glen Keane
Mother Gothel!! I've never drawn her before……hm.
I actually felt kinda sorry for her and the Stabbington brothers. Well, maybe not felt sorry. But I felt a kinship for the two redheads and the lady with the crazy curly hair. I mean, my two big hair things, and they had to go and be villains…..Brave, you better redeem my hair for me!!! HEAR THAT, PIXAR?? REDEMPTION. NEEDED.
And on to more sketches…..

Listen below to The Dig's latest track, "I Already Forgot Everything You Said".
The Dig return with "I Already Forgot Everything You Said", the second single off their upcoming sophomore album, "Midnight Flowers", due for release May 29th via Buffalo Jump Records.
Fresh off a tour supporting Sleeper Agent and Ben Kweller, the New Yorkers release a slow, dreamy guitar-driven track, pulling comparisons to Brooklyn's Bear In Heaven and the Ohio quartet Walk The Moon, with their heavy reverb and delicate vocals.
The Dig are up-and-comers who show great promise and have opened for everyone from Oasis' Liam Gallager's new band, Beady Eye, to other up-and-coming groups like The Joy Formidable and The Postelles.

All the hand-wringing is of no consequence. Such violent criminal acts cannot be stopped by gun control, looking for red flags, or blaming malaise in our culture. These cruel acts will recur because of the shadow over the human heart, the horror that dwells in the depths of every human psyche. There will never be a dearth of evil.

CHICAGO – With J.J. Abrams not involved with the creation of a third "Star Trek" movie, a compendium of his work within the franchise only seems fitting. Loaded with special features but only a few new ones, this disc set is a strong choice for those who don't already have both entertaining blockbusters in their collection.

Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – From its first "The Blair Witch Project"-like film in Sept. 2009, "Paranormal Activity" now reigns as one of the most profitable films ever made based on return on investment. But just a short 13 months later, "Paranormal Activity 2" returns to theaters with content and panic tactics that are much of the same.

Dave Mustaine: I Probably Shouldn't Have Punched James Hetfield in the Mouth
In a new interview, Dave Mustaine lists a few of his regrets, including punching James Hetfield in the mouth.
In a new interview, Dave Mustaine lists a few of his regrets, including punching James Hetfield in the mouth.
Metallica's James Hetfield isn't sure when the end will come, but he says he doesn't want to have a "farewell tour" that isn't the end like KISS or Scorpions.
There's been a lot of interest generated in the new James Hetfield-narrated History Channel Series 'The Hunt' and now those interested can check out the recently aired first episode online.
The Metallica frontman's voice is prominent in the
James Hetfield's involvement in a History Channel hunting series has led to a group calling for Metallica's removal from the Glastonbury Festival.
Metallica's James Hetfield says that the band doesn't expect to release a massive two-disc offering when their next album finally arrives.
Metallica frontman James Hetfield has a number of hobbies and pastimes, one of which is hunting. Hetfield has experience in bear hunting, which is the subject of the upcoming History series 'The Hunt,' and he'll be the narrator for the eight episode series that premieres Sunday, June 8 at 10PM ET.
Not anytime soon do I want the four horseman of the Apocalypse to show up -- unless they are in the form of the band members of Metallica, and then I will be fine with dying right then! HA!
Even when you're the most commercially successful metal band in history, financial issues can still set you back. In a new interview, Metallica frontman James Hetfield calls the band's 'Orion Music + More' festival a "disaster financially." Additionally, after back-to-back years of 'Orion,' Hetfield believes that because of money issues, the festival will not happen again.
James Hetfield has been a long time supporter of Little Kids Rock, an organization which provides music instruction and instruments to public schools. The Metallica frontman was honored with the charity's inaugural 'Livin' the Dream Award' at their annual Rockin' the Bay Benefit Concert in Menlo Park, Calif., over the weekend, and Hetfield performed "Enter Sandman" with some of the kids during the event (watch the videos below).
Yes, Metallica do plan on recording a new album, but frontman James Hetfield has reiterated his bandmates' recent statements that the process of putting together the disc has been a slow one. In fact, he reveals that the songwriting portion has yet to even begin.
Ever feel the desire to have James Hetfield of Metallica shouting out randomly from the speakers on your computer?

Should Panama Hattie's be closed and torn down?
- 5:30 am Friday, July 4th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
The announcement that Panama Hattie's and RumBar along PGA Boulevard may be sold to a large-scale developer has prompted a movement to try and kill the deal.
To locals fond of cocktails and seafood along the Intracoastal Waterway, the threat of this Key West-styled landmark being replaced by a massive condo-and-commerce complex is disturbing.
But the owner seems set on selling.
The current proposal, by the developer building Harbourside in nearby Jupiter, is to replace it with 84 condos, 25,000 square feet of office space and 22,000 square feet of restaurant space on about eight acres.
This is understandably hard to stomach for people [More]
Should the governor veto bill allowing for 75 mph speed limit on highways?
- 6:00 am Saturday, May 3rd, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Speed kills. It's as simple as that.
Yet Florida lawmakers have sent to Gov. Rick Scott's desk a bill that could lead to 75 mph speed limits on some highways. The governor needs to put the brakes on this unnecessary, and potentially dangerous piece of legislation.
CS/SB 392 likely managed to fly under the radar for most of the 2014 session because it doesn't require increasing speed limits on specific roads, but it enables the Florida Department of Transportation to do so following a traffic engineering study.
The House endorsed the bill 58-56, on a vote that didn't follow party lines. Indeed, the [More]
Expensive to speed in Juno
- 8:20 am Friday, August 14th, 2009 by Opinion Staff
Juno Beach is catching an average of 35 speeders a day and has amassed $261,000 from tickets in the six months since it contracted with LaserCraft to operate a van that takes pictures of license plates and sends tickets to drivers going 9 mph or more over the speed limit.
But the northern Palm Beach County town says it didn't set up the automated speed trap to make money. It did it to make the streets safer. "If people comply with the speed laws," Police Chief Dennis Weiner said, "we wouldn't see any revenue."
And the town recently [More]

Obit of the Day (Historical): Johnny Appleseed (1845)
An early American folk hero, Appleseed was best known for supplying farmers in the Ohio/Pennsylvania apple tree sapling and helping to developing swaths of apple orchards in the early western US. Appleseed, born John Chapman, in Massachusetts, moved to Ohio by 1800. Only six years later he was commonly called Appleseed. Most of the apples trees he sold were bred to grow cider apples, not "let's jump in the car and head to Vermont for maple syrup and a cup of cider" cider, but hard cider. Hard cider was easier for farmers to make than most any other intoxicating beverage.
Appleseed, who was later imagined wearing a pot on his head, did dress in rather ragged outfits, often without shoes. He was also a missionary of Swedenorgianism (aka The New Church), a Christian denomination that espoused beliefs such as marriage in Heaven and the salvation of all, if an individual was good. (Historical note: Another famous Swedenborgian was 19th century architect Daniel Burnham.)
Appleseed died on this date (March 18) in 1845 and is buried in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. His gravestone is pictured above. (Image courtesy of Life magazine, who you can also find on tumblr, life.tumblr.com.)
Here is his obituary from the Fort Wayne Sentinel from March 22, 1845:
On the same day in this neighborhood, at an advanced age, Mr. John Chapman (better known as Johnny Appleseed).
The deceased was well known through this region by his eccentricity, and the strange garb he usually wore. He followed the occupation of a nurseryman, and has been a regular visitor here upwards of 10 years. He was a native of Pennsylvania we understand but his home—if home he had—for some years past was in the neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, where he has relatives living. He is supposed to have considerable property, yet denied himself almost the common necessities of life—not so much perhaps for avarice as from his peculiar notions on religious subjects. He was a follower of Swedenborg and devoutly believed that the more he endured in this world the less he would have to suffer and the greater would be his happiness hereafter—he submitted to every privation with cheerfulness and content, believing that in so doing he was securing snug quarters hereafter.
In the most inclement weather he might be seen barefooted and almost naked except when he chanced to pick up articles of old clothing. Notwithstanding the privations and exposure he endured, he lived to an extreme old age, not less than 80 years at the time of his death—though no person would have judged from his appearance that he was 60.
He always carried with him some work on the doctrines of Swedenborg with which he was perfectly familiar, and would readily converse and argue on his tenets, using much shrewdness and penetration. His death was quite sudden. He was seen on our streets a day or two previous.
