Seasonal People + Portrait Contest Now Open!PeopleAndPortraits has well and truly launched! In conjunction with that, we wanted to bring you a fantastic shiny new contest to see you through October.
We recognize that across the world people are entering all sorts of seasons right now...which is why this isn't just about Autumn. You can utilise any season you want - and if you're extra creative, how about combining all four into one image?
The idea of a Seasonal Portraiture Contest is for you to experiment and explore whatever season you happen to be in right now - through portraiture photography! The contest is open to all categories within the People and Portrait Photography Gallery:

Photography Troubleshooting: Capturing AutumnFor many Photographers, Autumn is now officially here and is one of the most exciting seasons to capture in terms of colour, change and vistas. Early morning mist, late afternoon sun, orange, red and golden hues - Autumn has a lot to offer in many countries. If you're like me, Autumn often arrives all at once and it can be tricky to know how to make the best of the season before it's over. A couple of days of high winds and rain can ruin the best Autumnal captures by ripping the leaves down before you've even got the chance to snap - so it's great to be prepared for the season.More Like This
Leading lines are particularly useful. Yet so many people quote ' Look for leading lines...' or 'You've captured the leading lines here perfectly' and really do we even know properly what they are? The purpose of a leading line is to draw a viewers eye into the photograph and then on a journey - through it. Think of it as a visual narrative. They can be intentional and ind

2012 has been a year for growth, in many areas. There have been some MEGA issues this year and some rather shocking discoveries made that caused a major fall into depression, but it's been good too, what with Bella and all.
Bella's been one of the main sources of major lessons. Before getting her, the worst things I'd ever had happen with a horse were: give a single buck of protest, shy, and go back into his stall with me on him. This year, I've fallen off, been thrown countless times, been stepped on, been bitten, been dragged, been on run away Bella, had Bella jerk the lead rope out of my hands and run away to her friends, been kicked at, been charged (this wasn't Bella.

Top ten tips for doing the 365 challenge! 1)Perfect isn't always possibleMore Like This
I once made the mistake of getting a pretty good shot (yes really!) and then expecting the same thing to fall into my hands day after day. Don't let 'fame' put you off. If you win a contest with an image, get into the newspaper, get a DD, or get 'freshly pressed' on wordpress, don't let it make you think that you can't achieve the same again. You can. Just maybe not for another 365 days! Let yourself be perfect and not so perfect. Capture the epic images, but also capture the everyday ones. You never know when they will surprise you.
2)Plan ahead
When you see something around your home or local area that you think needs Photographing, write it down! I've got a little notebook in which I keep all my current ideas for the 365 Challenge. I also have back up plans for days when I'm insanely busy and need to get a quick capture, and other things in the bag for when I know I'm going to need a bit of

He is always at our side, lurking here and there, making your dA experience a little brighter and introducing you to new things all the time.
Your mission is to show us the world of Fella.
How does he live? Does he have pets? Is he the only one or are there other 'creatures' like him? Does he come from a distant planet? Is he the result of an experiment?
What does he eat? Or maybe he doesn't need to eat at all?
What is he doing in his freetime? Does he like to cook or read a good book? Or is he more of an adventurer, exploring the world outside?
Below you can see a few artworks, that already show Fella working for dA or in random situations. Maybe these inspire you to come up with other details of his life.

The reaching branches of the tree cast their light over the street, reflected in the gathering puddles of a spring rain. A garden nearby is a riot of colors against the deep shadows of the night. The harsh artificial street lights that we know today are gone. What would your world look like? Is it a world where the need for fossil fuel has been eliminated, or have the scientists bio-engineered the earth into a beautiful apocalypse?

What is Art Nouveau?
"Art Nouveau (French pronunciation: [aʁ nuvo], Anglicised to /ˈɑːrt nuːˈvoʊ/) or Jugendstil is an international philosophy[1] and style of art, architecture and applied art—especially the decorative arts—that was most popular during 1890–1910.[2] English uses the French name Art nouveau ("new art"), but the style has many different names in other countries. A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants, but also in curved lines. Architects tried to harmonize with the natural environment.[3]
Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewellery, furniture, textiles, household sil

I enjoyed the Topsy Turvy Fan Fiction Contest so much, I decided to have more short fan fiction contests! I plan do one each month for the rest of my Volunteer term. Let the writing begin!
This month, the contest revolves around themes. I'll provide a list of ideas, and you choose one or more of them to include into your story. You do not need to include the sentence word for word, just its concept.

Themes to choose from:
"Abandoned Places""All He/She Wanted Was a Cup of Coffee""A Beautiful Day for an Apocalypse""Be

Picasso seeing a seven as an upside down nose?
Right brain warriors in the new age will be the coveted candidates ordained to lead and guide us; lifting the torch to light the way forward into a brave new beautiful world.
Artists have always feared that they are unappreciated and that the march of progress comes only from business, science and their machines. 1984 was imagined by an artist projecting these exact fears. Our guest essayist suggests the computer will never be our master, but only the super high speed counting machine it was meant to be leaving humans with only one pure task— being creative.

Update, Big Feature and Random ThoughtsAs many already know I'm a part of a new group :iconMyJungleStudios: If you've not heard or I've not personally invited you to join, please check us out. Your support is appreciated. Our goal is to showcase beautiful art for sale and provide resources to help artist sell their work. Even if you don't have anything for sale you can watch. This all came about because of a very special someone here on DA :iconAngelaLeonetti: It's her group and her idea, I just feel really strongly about what she's trying to do. AngelaLeonetti is also founder of two other groups, :iconArtWorldToday: and :iconStarGroups: I encourage you to check her out, if you've not already. So, a little love for Angela.More Like This

Well, this type of corset has been created by a very good friend of mine who designs and creates costumes and corsetry.
She created a deviant accound but hasn't been using it yet. She's just waiting for some pictures taken of some of her corsets and creations to upload her gallery (well, I'll be doing it for her; 7 and a half years made me quite familiar with DA ).

New and Improving - Photography!More Like This
We are no longer taking submissions but we hope this journal aides your learning!
"Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light"
The first records of photography dates back centuries ago! Chinese philosopher Mo Di and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. These became know as 'camera obscuras'. In the late 19th century there was a race in France to discover a way of permanently recording images. Joseph Niepce was the first to produce a lasting photographic image but Louis Daguerre invented the process that introduced photography to the masses.
In this journal we are exploring some concepts of photography!
Digital photography has only been available to consumers since about 1996 and has quickly replaced film photography in terms of popularity.

Hands and feet are pretty hard to draw. Lots of artists struggle with them! Even when other things come naturally, hands and feet can still be quite a problem. The best way to get better at drawing hands and feet is to study them!
The Challenge: Sketch or draw 50 feet AND 50 hands from reference photos or life.
Deadline: The deadline has passed for this challenge, but you can still participate and make yourself a better artist!
You can post them as one giant post, in groups, one at a time, however you want! But please make a FOLDER in your gallery and put them all in there then send me a link to the folder. (If you do one submission with ALL of them at once, then you don't need the folder.)

text: 4.5 Wii Motion Plus REarnshaw | 15/03/2011 | See all REarnshaw's reviews (3) Looking at the other reviews you will see a positive response to this item. The motion plus does make the controller sensitivity better, but is not a purchase i would make unless you are buying games it is required for. The games that it is essential to use the motion plus are few and far between so unless you plan on having these titles i wouldn't get one. It does nothing more for game play on games that do not require it than the ordinary controller does.

William 'Willie' Nylander was a polarizing draft choice for the Toronto Maple Leafs at No. 8 overall last June. Some, myself included, praised the pick because of Nylander's high ceiling. Others slammed the Leafs for grabbing King Joffrey on skates, a slick-stickhandling boy-man whose body would not hold up the NHL level. That latter group likely wanted a Nick Ritchie type at No. 8.
So far, score one for the Nylander backers.
Yes, the fact he returned to the Swedish League to re-sign with Modo suggested he was far from NHL-ready. He flashed skill but didn't show enough strength to play for the Leafs, and they didn't want to tempt themselves by keeping him with the American League's Marlies, from which they could easily rush him to the big club. But he's been nothing short of spectacular in the SHL, where his primary goal was to bulk up. A tweet from Domenic Galamini suggested Nylander's 14 points through 10 games as an 18-year-old put him in elite company. Digging through the SHL's complete records reveals that Nylander averages more points per game than anyone in Swedish League history during an age-18 season. He's at 1.4, and the next closest finished at 1.00, meaning he'll challenge for the record even if he regresses.

I don't spend much time in this area, as bill magic really isn't my thing. However, I wanted to share that a few days ago at the Kutztown Magic Convention, Michael Ammar really fried 200 magicians. He had borrowed $100 bill, had it signed, and then tore it up and promised to get back to it later. He also had a lemon, and vanished it, then it was one of the final loads in his famous cups and balls routine. Then he cut it open, and inside was the signed $100 bill. Great ending, right? After explaining to the spectator who had lent the $100 that even better than getting back his $100, would be a story to tell his friends at home. He had the spectator roll the bill back up very small and place it back in the half of the lemon. He then screwed both halves back together and handed it to him and said when you get home, cut it open and they will be amazed. It was a beautiful illusion and I thought this was just a bit of a gag and he would end it there and after the show give the guy his $100 back. Wrong....he cut open the lemon and it was inside!
Penn often explains that when you study magic, you don't get that high of being fooled anymore. You can chase it and chase it and the more you study, the harder it is to find. For one brief moment, Michael Ammar made me feel like a complete Layman again.

Great story pepka. It just goes to show that it hasn't ALL been done, and we certainly haven't SEEN it all. Michael Ammar is one of the great legends of our time, and it's good to see someone still rely on the classics to entertain folks!

The new Suzuki GSX-R600 is very similar to last years GSX-R600. Underneath the new body work chassis wise it's very similar.

Best Answer
I don't... I can't stand a jealous man.
Best Answer
To see if he truly cares. It is a test and if he gets jealous and provokes jealousy back he pasted and got extra credit because he's showing me how he feels, and testing me right back to see my reaction. Honestly it hurts , but it's best to find out whether or not the man cares or can care less!

The weekend has landed! Not got any plans yet? Here's some ideas for things you can do to fill your time, from checking out Rita Ora's new single to catching a couple of movies and organising your summer.
1. Check out Before The Winter Chill
I've Loved You So Long director Philippe Claudel reteams with Kristin Scott Thomas. This time she is the spouse of a neurosurgeon (Daniel Auteuil) who becomes entangled with a former patient.
2. Listen to The Horrors' album
The Horrors grabbed more attention for their hairstyles than their music at the start – but four albums in, they're one of the most exciting bands in the UK. Luminous is a perfect summer festival soundtrack. Out now
3. Read A Curious Career
After An Education was turned into a successful film, journalist Lynn Barber now spills on her amazing career – it started with a stint on Penthouse and has included interviews with everyone from Salvador Dalí to Lady Gaga. £16.99, Bloomsbury Publishing
4. Indulge your inner geek
The 'Comics Unmasked: Art And Anarchy In The UK' exhibition at The British Library traces comics from Victorian times to modern day, featuring the likes of Batman and Kick-Ass. There's also brand-new work by Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz. Until 19 August.
5. Eat at Raw Duck
Raw Duck opens this week with a focus on two hot US-inspired food trends: raw food and 'ferments' – think drinking vinegars and kombucha – on the breakfast menu. Great, arty crowd too.
6. Download the new Rita Ora track
Written and produced by her beau Calvin Harris, 'I Will Never Let You Down' is the kind of song that finds itself involuntarily bouncing around your brain for days. It's the first taster of her new album, which is set to include a collaboration with the purple one himself, Prince. Out Monday
7. Meet Frank
It sure is perverse to encase the head of Michael Fassbender in papier mâché, but the inspired dark comedy Frank exploits that conceit to good effect, as an aspiring musician (Domhnall Gleeson) gets out of his depth recording with a bunch of avant-garde idealists in Ireland. In cinemas from Friday
8. Catch up with 12 Years A Slave
This year's Best Picture winner at the Oscars comes to DVD. Telling the true story of Solomon Northup, who was sold into slavery, it's a harrowing but powerful watch. Out Monday
9. See a classic novel on stage
After a sell-out run at London's Almeida Theatre, this adaptation of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984 transfers to the West End for three months. Go see – but remember, Big Brother is watching. Runs until 19 July.
10. Book tickets for Green Man
If there was a beauty contest for festivals, Green Man might well win the crown. Set in the stunning Brecon Beacons, it also has a brilliant line-up including The War On Drugs, First Aid Kit, Poliça and Beirut. 14-17 August

Prayer for Health
In this very personal prayer for health, Mark petitions God to use His healing hands and healing heart.
Dear Lord,
I ask of You
this simple thing:
To bring me to
good health again.
Sickness is
but a wrong turn taken,
but You in your wisdom
can lead me back
to wholeness.
Awaken strength within me
with Your touch sublime.
Let me find the way
to good health,
to feel
Your healing hands,
Your healing heart.

It turned out to be a mini JFS reunion as I rolled back the years with some old schoolfriends attending Joshua Sinai's wedding. Darryl Ricklow, Steven Gordon, Paul Alexander, Nathan Gentely plus former London Maccabi Lions player Jonny Binke were on top form and could not get enough of the sun.
It was the first time my wife and kids have been to the White City and it took my missus a little while to work out that not every man there was called Ken.
This week's offering comes from beach side Tel Aviv where I'm doing my best to avoid an infestation of jellyfish. It was here three years ago I had the proudest sporting experience of my life at the Maccabiah Games and it is here I plan to be again in July 2009 when Nigel Rothband will be leading his barmy cricket army for another medal challenge.
This time last year I was rubbing shoulders with Avram Grant at Wimbledon before he moved from Portsmouth to Chelsea. How do you improve on that, you may ask? Well, at SW19 this week, I saw childhood hero Peter Beardsley, the former England and Liverpool striker, but even better than that, a softly-spoken gentleman by the name of Richard "Dick" Savitt. Older readers will recognise Savitt as the only Jewish winner of the Wimbledon men's title.
So, as predicted, Roman Abramovich has got his man. Never one to settle for second best, the jury will be out on new Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari for some time.
Strange as it may sound, taking over from Avram Grant might be harder than it sounds. Unlike Grant, Scolari has a CV to rival the best managers. But winning the World Cup with Brazil, and possibly Euro 2008 with Portugal brings no guarantee that he will improve on the foundations built by the Israeli.
It's a well-known fact that I'm in touch with my feminine side. By that I don't mean I wear sarongs or my wife's underwear but an excursion to see the new Sex and the City film was right up my street.
I thought I was keen to see the flick but former Temple Fortune player Mark Collins was so desperate to get a good seat at the cinema he took the day off work. We came away with a feel-good factor and glad that the shops were closed so that our respective other halves were not tempted to splash out on designer shoes or bags.
Well… it was fun while it lasted. Written off, ridiculed and abused. That is how Avram Grant had been treated by the national press and the football fraternity for the majority of his nine month tenure as manager of Chelsea.
Did you know that the four major competitions in England have been won by clubs with Jewish owners. Surely that bet would have been a decent price at the start of the season. Daniel Levy's Spurs started things off by winning the Carling Cup final against Chelsea in February. Then Malcolm Glazer's Manchester United pipped Chelsea to the post in the Barclays Premier League. Last Saturday, Alexandre Gadaymak's Portsmouth lifted the FA Cup at Wembley, and most recently, we had the Champions League final on Wednesday between United and Roman Abramovich's Chelsea.
