Oil is still sticking to the plumes of herons, dirtying the vests of pelicans and will likely remain bothersome to our local bird colonies for a long time.
Birds are so very vulnerable to oil spills because their feathers soak up the oil like a sponge. The oil weighs the birds down and makes it harder for them to fly. When the birds clean and preen their feathers, they ingest the oil, often poisoning themselves.

It's been a while since we've paid attention to Fox News attacking electric cars, but has it really been long enough for them to forget some pretty salient details? Looks like it has, according to a new video from Media Matters, which splices together clips from before Tesla Motors made its big profit announcement and the company's other recent items of good news.
In all the "before" clips, the hosts and commentators just can't seem to mention Tesla without also saying something about taxpayer money and losers (ring a bell?). In the "after" parts, well, just watch. It'd be funny if it wasn't so depressing. See how it all comes together below.

Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion
One West 4th Street (between Broadway and Mercer Street)
New York City
Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion will present a lecture by the artist, Leonard Nimoy in conjunction with the exhibition Leonard Nimoy: Shekhina, on view at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Museum through January 10, 2003. Nimoy's luminous photographs from his new book, Shekhina, express his search for the essence of the Shekhina, which he interprets as the manifestation of the divine presence in humankind and, particularly, the feminine aspect of God. Through black and white, light and shadow, figuration and abstraction, Nimoy captures poetic images of the female form. His evocations of spirit and flesh, prayer, gathering, and embrace provide a visual portal through which one may encounter this spiritual presence.
Leonard Nimoy was born in 1931 in Boston, Massachusetts. His 1951 film debut launched his acting career, but it was his role as Mr. Spock in the science fiction series Star Trek that earned him his iconic status and three Emmy nominations. Nimoy has pursued photography since his teens: In the 1970s he studied with Robert Heineken at UCLA. Nimoy uses the photographer's vocabulary to create a balance of textures as a metaphor for his spiritual interpretations. The rigors of intense, finely grained images are played off against illusionist forms blurred from direct scrutiny by gauzy scrims and veils.
Nimoy divides his work into sections: The Blessing, The Spirit in the Flesh, Prayer Against the Darkness, The Gathering, and Embracing the Light. Figures emerge from darkness into ambient light, the tallit (prayer shawl) is lifted to reveal far-seeing eyes, light pours through the hand of a prayerful woman. These intangible moments of emergence represent the creation of the female spirit.
He has introduced each of these photographic chapters with poetic interludes which further deepen our understanding of the Shekhina concept. In the earliest Kabbalistic writings, marked by mysticism and the belief in creation through emanation, the Shekhina is described as the feminine principle in the world of the divine Sefirot, the powers emanating from God, through which the world is created and its order sustained.
The restoration of the true unity of God, the masculine principle and the Shekhina, can be achieved through the adherence to Torah, the commandments, and prayer.
Laura Kruger, Curator of the HUC-JIR Museum noted, "In his powerful photographic exploration of the Shekhina, the revelation of holiness in a profane world, Leonard Nimoy has created a luminous body of work. Each of the feminine figures in his work emanates a mysterious glow, a mantle of light, which in itself becomes a visualization of the glory of God. The imagery of light is the connective sub-text of his work, the blacks are deep and intense, the ephemeral light is buoyant and elusive. Nimoy approaches women with a sculptor's eye. Frequently sited against awesome cloud formations or emerging from supernatural groves of tree branches, the women are assertive yet gently vulnerable."
This exhibition is presented in conjunction with Umbrage Books' publication of Shekhina, a collection of photographs by the renowned actor and artist, Leonard Nimoy.

Buying Tips
Select from women's tennis equipment that enhances your game on the court.
Beginners should choose tennis equipment that is comfortable to hold and lightweight as they learn the game. Prestrung racquets with a larger head size and heady heavy balance expand the sweetspot giving developing players a larger hitting area and more power. Intermediate or advanced players look to unstrung racquets that can be strung to match their desired string composition, string tension, and string pattern. Head light racquets with a smaller head size are a match for players with a fast swing who produce their own hitting power.
Expert Advice
When selecting women's tennis shoes, look for a low-profile shoe for total lateral stability as well as a tread design that provides the right amount of grip to the court. Ensure your shoe is constructed of lightweight, breathable fabrication, so you move with agility and speed.

2 Fantasy Paintings: Day and Night vs. Night and Day

There's more information available on Day and Night here and Night and Day here. Both originals can be purchased as of now.
I'm still unsure whether or not I want to release this pair of paintings in some form of a print but I'll update my website if I decide to. In the meantime, I'd love to hear your suggestions.
Both Day and Night and Night and Day will be made into cross stitch patterns by Heaven and Earth Designs sometime in the near future.

Miniature Oil Pastel and Acrylic Painting: Fractured 2
Fractured 2
© Anima
4" x 6" (10 cm x 15 cm)
acrylic and oil pastel on canson mi-teinte paper
Love that Blue
In my teenaged days, blue was my favourite color. Any kind of blue. Royal, navy, cobalt, sky, powder, baby, it didn't matter. I loved them all. And even though my tastes have expanded over the years, I'm still a blue girl.
Brown-Eyed Girl
For Fractured 2 I started out with the idea of big beautiful brown eyes. From there it was easy to fall back into my blue habit. Brown and blue naturally complement each other and create a modern, contemporary feel.
Why brown eyes? Well it's hard to resist a set of big brown eyes. My four adorable brown-eyed nieces are all the evidence you'll need of that.
About Fractured 2
Fractured 2 is second in my Fractured series and has a completely different mood than Fractured 1. It's a miniature acrylic and oil pastel mixed-media on canson mi-teinte paper.
What Next?
Fractured 2 is matted, ready to frame and on sale at my Etsy shop now. Browse my Etsy store here or view more art work for sale here.

Miniature Oil Pastel Painting: Cryptic Eyes 2
Why Yellow?
This is Cryptic Eyes 2, the second miniature painting in the Cryptic Eyes series. I introduced the first in that series, Cryptic Eyes 1, a couple weeks ago. In an out of character move, I chose yellow for the primary color for this piece. The only other time in recent history that I've used yellow like this was for the fantasy painting, Solare.
Maybe my mind was addled by all the wine I'd been tasting before painting this piece. Ter and I were at the Fall Wine Festival in the Okanagan, a trip I highly recommend and would like to repeat in the next couple years.
Yellow may not be my favorite color (though I love creams and golds), but
I do like how this painting turned out. The contrast of the blue with the yellow
and orange makes for an optimistic, bright, sunny effect.
Making Cryptic Eyes 2
I used Canson Mi-Teinte paper that I'd cut down to 4" x 6" (10cm x 15cm),
the size of a OSWOA or Original Small Work of Art. Then I taped out the edge making the image 3.5" x 5.5" (8.75cm x 13.75cm). Oil pastels, always my favorite, was the medium of choice. I had a little fun by using a toothbrush to create the textured background behind the cryptic design. Finally, I matted the finished painting with white 5" x 7" (12.5cm x 17.5cm) Crescent® Conservation Grade Mat.
What Next?

Original ACEO: Shape of a Woman's Back
About Shape of a Woman's Back
Shape of a Woman's Back is the first ACEO (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) that I've every created. It started as washes of red, pink, and orange acrylic paint on Canson Mi-Teinte paper. Then I mimicked the female form with ink lines.
My First ACEO
I've wanted to paint ACEOs for several months, but I must admit they challenge me, since typically, my paintings are very large. Even though I've recently begun doing small original works that are 4" x 6" (10cm x 15cm), the ACEO size of 2.5" x 3.5" (6.25cm x 8.75cm) is the smallest I've worked. After Shape of a Woman's Back, I painted two more immediately afterwards and had a lot of fun! I'm anticipating many more ACEOs in the future.
What Next?
You can purchase this one of a kind original ACEO from my Etsy store.

Miniature Mixed Media Painting: Fractured 1
My Favorite Thing About Fractured 1
This is the first in my "Fractured" series depicting a woman's face with only her eye and the top portion of her face visible. My favourite thing about this painting is its intensity. Between the penetrating look from the woman's eye and the contrast between the blue of her iris and the red of the foreground, it's hard to ignore!
Details About Fractured 1
At 4" x 6" (10cm x 15cm), Fractured 1 is an Original Small Work of Art (OSWOA) or miniature painting. The image size is 3.5" x 5.5" (8.75cm x 13.75cm) and it's matted with white 5" x 7" (12.5cm x 17.5cm) Crescent® Conservation Grade Mat.
What Next?
Fractured 1, is an original painting and will not be reproduced in any format. Right now, it's matted, ready to frame, and for sale in my Etsy shop.

Small Work of Art: Cryptic Eyes 1
What I Like About Cryptic Eyes 1
Cryptic Eyes 1 is the first in a series of 3 miniature fantasy paintings with the name "Cryptic Eyes". I love the muted pinks and greens in this piece. But I especially like how it contrasts the feeling of intimacy from the close up view of the woman's eyes with mystery since the rest of her face is concealed. What's you're favourite thing about this painting?
Details About Cryptic Eyes 1
The entire piece is painted with Holbein oil pastels on Canson Mi-Teinte paper. I cut the sheet of Canson paper to 4" x 6" (10cm x 15cm) making this an OSWOA or Original Small Work of Art. The edge of the paper is taped out so the image is 3.5" x 5.5" (8.75cm x 13.75cm). The finished painting is matted with white 5" x 7" (12.5cm x 17.5cm) Crescent® Conservation Grade Mat.
What Next?
Cryptic Eyes 1, matted and ready to frame, is available for sale in my Etsy shop. It's a one of a kind original that's not being reproduced in any other form!

Barcelona's Argentinian three-time Ballon D'Or winner Lionel Messi has agreed to renew his contract at the Spanish giants until June 2018, the club said on Tuesday.Barcelona said in a statement it had reached an agreement with Messi, 25, whose current contract expires in 2016, and he would sign his new deal "in the coming weeks".It also reached agreements with two of its other top players, veteran defender and captain Carles Puyol and midfielder Xavi Hernandez, who will each sign up to stay until 2016.
"This news means that FC Barcelona has secured its ties with three of its most important players"
Barcelona FC statement
Puyol, 34, agreed to extend his contract when it expires next year and Xavi, 32, will do so when his expires in 2014.
Puyol had said he wants to continue his professional career until he's 40, although he said he didn't want to "have to drag myself onto the field."Messi scored his 22nd double of 2012, and his sixth in six games, as Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid, their closest rival in the Spanish league, 4-1 on Sunday.
"This news means that FC Barcelona has secured its ties with three of its most important players," the club said in their statement.Unbeaten Barcelona are 13 points clear of their fierce rivals, title holders Real Madrid, at the top of the Spanish league, and nine points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid.Messi - who has been at the club since 2004 - is the top scorer in the league with 25 goals so far this season and recently broke Gerd Mueller's 40-year record for the most goals in a calendar year.Mueller scored 85 in 1972 and Messi has scored 90 so far this year, though there are claims that Godfrey Chitalu of Zambia and Zico of Brazil netted more.

Encouraging your toddler to stop sucking his thumb
My two and a half year old sucks his thumb. He has pushed his lower jaw back and his top teeth protrude. How can I can stop this habit?Question:
Getting children to stop sucking on thumbs, fingers or pacifiers can be a very challenging undertaking. Sometimes it takes several tries until you find a technique that works.
You may find that the reward method works. If you try this technique, give your son plenty of time to get used to the idea of quitting. For example, tell him in a few months, when he's three, he won't need to suck his fingers anymore. If he accomplishes this, you will reward him with something significant as an incentive to quit.
Another technique is the aversion method. You could paint on a bitter substance that is made for this purpose.
Though, obviously this would not be a first choice, or the right choice at all for some families, there are some dental appliances that can be made and placed in a child's mouth. These usually have a type of grid or guard so a finger or thumb cannot be placed in the mouth or the sucking motion cannot be made.
It is also important when using any of these techniques to explain why you are encouraging your child to stop finger/thumb sucking.
If your son continues to suck on his fingers as he grows, and his jaw and permanent teeth develop, this can have a significant effect on the growth of his jaws and the placement of his permanent teeth. The most common problem we see is an "open" bite in the front, where there is a gap between his upper and lower teeth. Also, the upper teeth can be tipped out and separated, while the lower teeth get pushed back. If this happens, your son would need orthodontics to correct the problem.
Good luck in your attempts to curtail this difficult habit.Answer:

How To Analyze Your Type
Part 2
I finished showering in the basement bathroom. Upon coming out to put my towel in the hamper, I noticed that once again, my son did not put his towel or clothes in the there but ON the basement floor right NEXT to it. He's in his early 20's and knows better.
Instead of fussing, yelling or just picking it up, I asked, "Ryan, are you okay? Is your arm hurt from baseball?"
"No, Mom. Why?" he replied.
"Well I figured your arm was hurt because you weren't able to ACTUALLY throw your clothes IN the hamper." He got the hint.
The point is sometimes it's not only your habits that need changing; however, it's the best and only place to start.
If you were not able to identify with last weeks types, you should be able to find something in these that you associate with. You may be a combination.
4. SENTIMENTAL: Every rock picked up at the beach since your children could walk, every picture they ever drew, duplicate photos….. I need to keep it all because it is important.
5. CLEAN ONLY: If it's clean it won't matter where they are piled. One the couch, chair, bed, table. If the outside of the big boxes along the wall are packed, dusted and visible who cares. As long as it is clean, it never needs to be put away.
6. SAFETY: I don't refuse to wash or polish floors because they might be too slippery. Why would I bother to put that away? If I put those papers in the drawers they may become too heavy and when I open them they will fall over.
7. GREAT INTENTIONS: This is on sale, it's cute and would look good in the Living Room Corner and when I get everything straightened up, I will put it there. Problem is if you looked in the basement, you would see that you bought something for that corner 5 months ago with great intentions that also did not get used.
8. FUTURE NEEDS: I realize that I have 4 sets of measuring cups, 3 dog bowls and one dog, 2 sets of encyclopedia's but what if I am cooking for a neighborhood and if one of the dogs bowls break and if the Internet is down and both of my children want to use the "Q" volumn of the encyclopedia. I might need these things.
9. IDEALISTIC: I'll do this and this and this. Great thoughts, however, Ben Franklin said it best, "Well done is better than well said."
It is so important to realize that life circumstances get in the way of great goals. Depression, Illness and the list could go on. It is important to remember that no matter what Type you relate to that you need only do one thing at a time. I don't know who said this but it makes great sense….."How do you eat an elephant?...One bite at a time." That belongs to our goals also.
God bless you all this week.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Five years ago, one Jessamine County man began his battle with cancer and a short time later he decided to make a bucket list.
After crossing a few family-related goals off the list, 53-year-old Larry McCoy turned his attention to helping the community.
Often times, the city's homeless population can be overlooked--even ignored. But it's this group of people who Larry McCoy wanted to help.
"The very first thing I do is look at your shoes and say I've never been in those, I'll take you for what you're worth," McCoy told us on Sunday
McCoy says he knows all too well what it's like to fall on tough times. "I had cancer five years ago and it came back about two years ago," he said.
Soon after his diagnosis, Larry McCoy decided to make a list---a bucket list. "This was the first thing on my list; I wanted to try to feed as many homeless people as possible."
And on Sunday, he did just that.
"It's really great for the guys to have social fellowship and enjoy a regular barbeque," said carey cairo, the Volunteer Manager at the Hope Center.
Sunday evening, McCoy set up shop at the Hope Center and cooked hundreds of hamburgers and hotdogs for the folks he refers to as 'family.'
"There is nothing better to me than for people to connect than being family and cooking out together."
Thankfully, McCoy is now in remission but he says the impact that cancer has had on his life is permanent.
"What I've learned with cancer is that some men want a Mercedes or a girl but God gave me cancer. To be honest with you it's been a blessing, it's opened my eyes."
Opened his eyes and opened his arms to the group of people who rarely get the chance to enjoy a normal summer cookout surrounded by family.
Larry McCoy hopes to make the cookout at the Hope Center an annual event.

As any bourbon drinking, Cheetos snacking, brown bearded fanboy will tell ya', Samuel L. Jackson wasn't Marvel's first live action Nick Fury. No, the House of Ideas produced a very telly version of the iconic character in 1998′s Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD. Bordering on self-parody, the film faithfully adapted the classic 60′s tone for which the character is so loved. Although, much else of the film failed, including (unfortunately) David Hasselhoff's take on Nick Fury.
Well, the Hoffmeister doesn't see it that way, and when asked about Samuel L. Jackson's iteration, he had a few unkind words:
"You know, it wasn't Nick Fury. They take these shows and they make it the way they want to make it and unfortunately, they should have had Stan Lee on the set and let him kick him into gear – whoever directed [The Avengers] decided they wanted to go that way. But it's their prerogative. He's still a great actor."
"He's still a great actor" is the equivalent of "No offense, but…", no matter of pleasantry distracts from the insults. Be a man. Let your words cut like swords. Who needs friends in Hollywood, anyway?
Obviously Samuel L. Jackson's version of Nick Fury is superior to Hasselhoff's. I'm sorry Hoffmeister, I really love your tenacity, and your fidelity to the source material, but no matter of Stan Lee praise can excuse the inescapable poor quality of your TV movie production. That said, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury is problematic. He's neither a faithful adaptation of the traditional 616 universe's Director of SHIELD, and he only bears a superficial resemblance to the Ultimate iteration of the character (Jackson actually served as the basis of Ultimate Fury in the original 2002 series). I still love Samuel L. Fury, and perhaps he'll evolve in the next Avengers film, but he still hasn't properly embodied comic book Nick.
What do you say? Hasselhoff right? Wrong?

HOUSTON, Texas. (CBSSPORTS.COM) -- The Houston Astros are soon to be owned by Jim Crane and will be moving to the American League West prior to the 2013 season. As we've previously reported, expect everything to be finalized Thursday, ending six months' worth of waiting.
Jim Crane agreed to purchase the ballclub (along with Minute Maid Park) for $680 million all the way back on May 16. Since then, everything's been on hold as Bud Selig and the baseball owners mulled over whether or not to approve Crane. The latest -- via the Associated Press -- is that Crane had to agree to switch the Astros to the American League in order to gain approval. In return, evidently to grease the wheel a bit, Crane reportedly received a discount on the sale from the original dollar figure.
The two 15-team leagues has been requested by the MLB Players Association to better balance the schedule. Of course, having an odd number of teams in each league means there will be interleague play throughout the entire season, more resembling an NBA schedule than what baseball fans have been used to for years. But it definitely evens out the chances at the playoffs and makes the schedules far less intra-division heavy.
The Astros will join intrastate "rival" Texas Rangers in the AL West, along with three west-coast teams -- the Los Angeles Angels, Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics. This means lots of very late road games for Astros fans living in the Central time zone.
Drayton McLane bought the team in November 1992 for about $117 million and put the franchise up for sale in November. He turned down an offer from Crane to buy the team in 2008. McLane said he was "sad" to be selling the team, but "I hated getting out of college, but I knew I needed to get to work."
Crane, who founded a Houston-based logistics company in 2008, is also the chairman and chief executive of Crane Capital, a private equity fund company. In 2009, he was in the running to buy the Cubs and last summer teamed with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban in an unsuccessful bid to buy the Texas Rangers.
On his way out, McLane's advice to Crane? "Learn from the sportswriters."
I guess that's a fitting head-scratcher to what has been a very weird transition in ownership.

Range Rover Vogue
Having previously worked on the owners VW Touareg and an XK Jag, it was time to take a look at the new purchase, a Range Rover Vogue.
Booked over a three day period, the vehicle was to receive a full Major Paint Correction Detail to the exterior paintwork, full interior tidy with leather treatments and an engine-bay overhaul.
Upon inspection.
True condition of the paint will be revealed later once clean, clayed and dry.
First job, as always, was to tackle the wheels and arches.
Having flushed, degreased and scrubbed the arches, I was left with LOTS of tar! Stubborn tar spots literally covering the arch lining plastics.
AutoSmart Tardis used to try help dissolve some of this..
Once the wheels had been cleaned and de-tar'd, Wolfs Decon Gel was used to lift the pitted brake dust. (The inner rim was caked. Would require a full wheels-off job to sort this)
Interesting, lots of overspray on the N/S/F wheel. Somewhere down the line the Range had visited the body shop…
Overspray removed with a Megs aggressive clay bar:
Next, the vehicle received a quick rinse before some foam action. AMDetails Foam used.
Whilst foamed, a soft bristled brush was used to tackle the smaller, intricate areas.
Washed with the two bucket method and Born to be Mild shampoo.
Starting to get a glimpse of the paint condition now….
Lots of swirling (to be expected), buffer trails from body shop repairs and some random deep scratches.
With the tar deposits removed from the lower portions, the car was taken inside for claying.
Always amazes me this, this is the pick-up from the rear window:
Covered in tar! Impressive.
Moving on to the rest of the car…
Now the car is 'clean', it was blown dry with the black baron vehicle dryer.
Paint inspection. Scruffs, sanding marks, overspray, buffertrails and random scratches. Plenty to get stuck in to…
Starting pad and polish combinations down the O/S.
Low paint thickness!!?
Settled on a cutting, polishing and refining combination, I work my way down the side of the Range.
O/S/R Wing – before/after:
Lots of marks under that petrol filler cap!
O/S looking much better:
Tailgate. Before/After:
More overspray (on the side of the light cluster)
Rear light clusters polished with menzerna compounds and hexlogic foam pads.
More nasties to tackle down the N/S:
Sanding marks spotted on leading edge of rear quarter:
Some time later, sorted.
A bad scratch on lower sections. Not sure as this one can be 100% fully removed…
Nope. Not quite. Much improved. (The low paint thickness readings were present throughout – I didn't fancy pushing my luck too far with this one…)
N/S/F door. Before:
Rear bumper:
Once the machine work was complete, vehicle rolled out to be dusted down and rinsed.
Full blown dry once again, followed by Auto Finnesse Rejuvenate to further cleanse the paintwork and prep for wax.
Wax of choice, Black Label Concours
Engine dressed and tidied.
Paintwork given a final wipedown:
Windows dropped to access top two inches:
Full interior detail, alloys sealed, tyres & arches dressed etc etc.
Pretty much there.
Treated the ASV to a quick wash. (to sell, or not to sell? Tough one!)
Waiting on collection.
Thanks for reading.

EYP Travel Photography Series: Q and A with Benjamin Lowy
Photographer Benjamin Lowy recently visited the George Eastman House as a guest lecturer for the Wish You Were Here travel photography lecture series. He has won numerous awards for his photojournalism, and his photos of Iraq have been chosen by Photo District News as some of the most iconic of the 21st century. While he was in town I had a chance to sit down and talk to him about his life and work.
Ben's life made a sudden change while earning his BFA at Washington University in St. Louis. Originally wanting to be a comic book illustrator, he often looked through art books to make tracings to improve his ability at drawing the human form. Then one day while in his favorite bookstore he picked up a copy of Inferno by James Nachtwey, thinking it was a fashion book he could trace more figures from. Instead, what he had picked up was a documentary by one of our generation's greatest photojournalists. As he says "I remember sitting in that bookstore for a couple of hours and it changed my life basically. If I hadn't picked that book up I wouldn't be here."
Nine months after graduating he found himself in Iraq. I asked him about his first trip overseas as a photojournalist.
"We are in a very dangerous, and at the same time artistic, and subjective profession. It straddles some very weird lines. If you are a young photojournalist, it's not just that you're young and a photojournalist, it's also that you're in a war zone and you might not know style. There are so many factors that weigh in."
Your project Iraq Perspectives is a series of photos all shot from inside a Humvee looking out through the windows, definitely not the view we the public see on the evening news very often. It really struck me as a view that is very common to the soldiers there.
"Much of the existence there in Iraq or Afghanistan from the military point of view is a lot of mundane, boring tasks peppered with moments of activity and violence. Boring doesn't work on the news, you need drama, you need conflict; otherwise it's not news. In a way, the public in America has an expectation of what we are going to see anyway, and the news, and even I, and everyone is a prisoner to those expectations of what we are going to see on the television news."
And so what would you say is the biggest disconnect for the American people between what they see and what it's really like to be there?
"I was thinking about this and it came to me more when I was in Libya than anywhere else. I was standing on the front lines in Ajdabiya with Tim Hetherington who was killed back in April. The area we were in was pounded by like 30 mortars in just a couple of minutes, and we were talking about the strengths of video versus shooting stills. When you watch an action movie and there is an explosion, you hear it at the same time. In real life you see the explosion and then you hear it. At least for me, that is the biggest disconnect between trying to present something and what people expect. In terms of content-wise, I think people don't want to care anymore. We all have our own problems in America, the recession, etc. People don't want to know; I think that's more of a problem. But at the end of the day whether you are a Muslim in Afghanistan, a Catholic in Iraq, or an Evangelical Christian in America, when you wake up in the morning you want to have your coffee or tea, you want to have a job and you want to take care of your family. We are all the same. People don't realize that in so many ways we have become so xenophobic in every culture. It's always them versus us, whether it's them over there thinking that or us over here. There are beautiful people and horrible people everywhere in the world and that's regardless of what color you are or what religion you follow."
When someone looks at Iraq Perspectives what do you want them to see or think about?
"I wanted to do something different than the usual pictures of Iraq people see. The pictures just show fragments of Iraqi life as I pass by in a Humvee. The window really is a barrier, kind of a detached perspective on the country even though you are right there. I can't talk to them. Do they even see me?"
And I see that you are using a camera phone sometimes now.
"I have started to use my iPhone to take pictures more. You get a very different response from people when you are walking around with a tiny camera phone than when you are lugging around a big SLR. You're much less obtrusive and people act more natural. And so even though it is journalism, art and style do matter, and different subjects require a different approach.
For more information on how to get involved with the Eastman Young Professionals, please contact us at email@example.com or find us on Facebook.

In other news, I've ripped my f*cking nose ring out yet again. Going to leave it out this time. I think I might have it done again but on the other side. I haven't been able to train Al not to kiss me on that side and he kept getting caught in it so I might do it on the other side if I choose to have a nose ring again. This morning, the f*cker got caught on my sponge (I brought it too close to my face and a stray bit got it) and ripped it out. Thought it went down the drain but I did find it. Tried to put it in, already closing up. *beep* it. Too much bother unfortunately (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I loved it so much.

Me again. Want my nose pierced again so badly. Think I'll do it in the right side this time so Al's nostril doesn't keep pulling it out. I guess it's nice to see he kisses me hahah.
Anyway: Met a girl last night with what was called a 'nose bone'.
Opinions? Sounds like it could do some damage, but sounds oh so perfect if it doesn't come out easily. Let's just hope I don't need xrays or surgery and I'm fine. Don't care about the extra pain to get it in. Anyway, just want to know if any of you folks had it and whether you did research and what not. I am going to continue researching.
Because in truth, I had the 'screw', and it fell out ridiculously easily. The other end of it would sometimes poke out from my nostril, and other times it was digging in to the other side of my nostril - it was basically a pain in the *beep*..or nose. I don't want the 'L' shaped one because everyone says it falls out even easier than the screw.
So....go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I like having the screw, and never had any problems with it. Maybe it was just over/undersized for your nose?
I also had the ring for awhile, never had any problems with that either.

Definitely don't want a ring, just want a stud. Ok...the nose bone for those who don't know has a ball on both sides and they push the bigger one through, so it means it is significantly harder to get out once it is in.
I didn't realise the screws came in different sizes, that could have been it too.

I like to wear green and pink together, so this pale green that flashes pink is the perfect highlighter. It doesn't show as much green as I had hoped, but it's still gorgeous. I'm a PPP (mac C3) with green eyes.
OMG! this irridescent beige-gold-taupe-pinkish shade is absolutely splendifferous. i'm a GGG, (nc50), and lemme tell you, i can use it as a wash on the 'no makeup look' days, as a full-on colour for shoots, or as a base for other shadows.. it really makes my eyes pop, and although at first i thought it would be more of a silverish ashy gray, it's just the thing for days when i might be feeling a bit down. highly recommend it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Well, I guess I have to agree with ktm13. I went to the MAC counter today to check out some of the shadows from my wish list, one of which was Vex.
Vex looked to me like a big ole nothing in the pot, but I know some of my fave MAC shadows look blah in the pan but WOW! on. Unfortunately, Vex is not one of those sleepers.
I tried Vex on and if anything, it looked worse on my lids than in the pot. Just like ktm13 said, it looks strangely like fish scales. The combination of green blue grey and pink flashes just doesn't work for me. I guess this is one of those love it or hate it shades. Unfortunately, I fall in the hate it category on this one.
I love this shadow! It is such an interesting color but is great on my FFF skin tone! Love it with blue eyes, too, and for the quality the price can't be beat!
NC20, hazel eyes here. Vex is a lovely duochrome shimmery eyeshadow that looks like a grey-light green that flashes pink. It is very subtle though. I use this most often on the brow bone as a highlighter, but it makes a lovely wash. Sometimes I'll apply it lash to brow with something like Shale in the crease. I am not sure why I think it goes with purple and lavender type colors, but I think it does. I usually stay away from gray eyeshadows because I don't think they look good on me, but the pink in this really changes the look of this shadow. This is one e/s that I will buy over and over.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is one of my all time favorites, and I just bought it last week. I use it as a wash and if packed on, it gives off a different color sheen at different angles. It's a very versatile product and it looks especially lovely with MAC's Sushi Flower and Creme de Violet. I'm a PPP and it doesn't wash me out at all :)
I really wanted to love this color since it sounded sooo pretty, but the gray tones washed me out and made me look like I was half dead, swapped it away as soon as I could
Vex is the most unique colour: a white/silver/pink/green...!!! I use it to highlight any other e/s and it works perfectly. Lovely colour!
Ugh, terrible. I hate the color. Does nothing for me at all (PPP), even when I tried layering it with other colors as per the MA's suggestion. Will never buy again.
I really love this color. When you apply it, the color actually looks very different from what it does in the pot. Great texture.

Eeee we can finally see Liam's cute freckles now.
b3nc011.26.2011, 2:54 AM
Do you want me to have a heart attack, freckles+Adam's appel against fluffy hair+dimple ==> too much cuteness on the same page !°[ (post-stroke face)
mooshkin11.26.2011, 12:22 AM
YAY! they are smiling and having fun. remembering the good old days before Milo had a black eye.
wellpent11.26.2011, 12:26 AM
Chloe's ears are burning ;)
Such a great page you guys! I feel like I've gotten to know them a lot more in just a few panels <3<3<3
Owen W11.26.2011, 12:13 PM
Truth be told - neither one of us have actually seen the show. We don't have TV, haha! :') We'll have to get back to you on that!
Madidi11.26.2011, 12:32 AM
Okay.. Yeah I didn't abandon the camp after all..(6:32am.. O__O) I haaad to stay.. And boy was it worth it.. Milo's expressions.. Liam becoming much 'warmer' .. and really.. the cuteness.. not to forget the dorkgasm..xDDD Thank you lovelies! <333
b3nc011.26.2011, 2:45 AM
Didn't know what you meant with 'dorkgasm' so just found the subtile subtitle & gonna chek ev'ry page instead of getting back to sleep, damn you & kudos for the camping superpower 8°o
cool11.26.2011, 12:45 AM
ahhhhh! I just love this comic so much. I applaud your guy's ability to update even with so much going on. It's awe-inspiring and inspirational
Justin J11.26.2011, 12:50 AM
This for me is one of my favorite pages!
I feel happy for these two! Nothing is more romantic than reminiscing XD
Ionopachys11.26.2011, 1:06 AM
The art is great. At the risk of just me too-ing, the facial expressions you draw are awesome.
Also, thank you for not falling into the typical slash trap of a long, drawn out UST. This is much more interesting than most clichéd slash comics.
Ima bee a guest11.26.2011, 1:36 AM
lol. They're just over the costumes.
I'm really in love with that second panel, his movement and the angle he's facing. I don't know, I'm just really taken with it.
b3nc011.26.2011, 3:08 AM
2d panel & 3d... & the details in the background, of course not in those panels, silly, how the white rail behind Milo in the first is back behind Liam in the last!?
MrMonochromatic11.26.2011, 2:07 AM
I'm just going to tell you that your are one of my favorite comickers out there. You put so much into your characters and even each panel seems to be filled with attention and everything is just right. Totally in love with this page and I can't wait for more. I probably look forward to this comic's updates more than I should, hahaha♥
b3nc011.26.2011, 2:36 AM

"Pffff. Yeah. I and I still hold to the notion that ANY theory is pointless without empirical validation. Science is about gathering data, getting your hands dirty! That's where we differ. You underestimate the value of... experimentation."

"Hey now, be fair - that was an observational study done under real-world conditions! And the preliminary results were quite promising. I mean okay, we've seen some regression to the mean, but that's to be expected. With a little more probing, I'm confident that we can coax out a statistically significant relationship in the meta-analysis."
Crube11.27.2011, 11:32 PM
"Perhaps, but... The Tripping Barmaid?! Even the library is much more appropriate and rather quiet! Sure, you're not the one to enter such environmen- Wait, what?! Probing?! What did I say about being discrete?!"
Leyounette11.26.2011, 10:10 AM
Thank you so much for this wonderful comic ! I absolutely love it, your work is intelligent, moving, beautiful and the details are lovely (I re-read it entirely when I discovered that there were "hidden" messages on each page...).
The characters are well-round, the story is not cliché at all and basically, you make my day twice a week !
I just have one question : how old are you when you are in third year ?
(please excuse this stupid question and any mistake I may have made, I'm french)

Oh gosh - thank you so much for saying so! ♥ Much appreciated! In third year Liam would have been 14, and Milo would have turned 14 halfway through the year. :)

Oh Milo, making him break curfew, you been a bad influence from the start... YAY!

i just want to say that i love that they're doing other things while having their conversation, you've very nicely avoided the "floating heads talking" problem that many comics seem to have. i'm really impressed with this comic!!

I see Liam is a fan of Hawking's chronology protection conjecture. Loved this page by the way!

They are so cute ~♥ glad they're just talking and not avoiding him or the subject anymore :) talking solves everything ^-^

Oh dear god the nerdiness. I love it so. Look at them in their adorkability. <3 And the mobility of both their faces is absolutely wonderful. I adore their expressions, always.
Also, for some reason, Milo's eyebrows. Don't ask.

My heart just melted, reformed, shattered into a million tiny pieces, reformed again, and melted a second time.
I believe this is my new favorite page since the original moment in the bathroom at the bar. Just the utter perfection of admitting the length of his attraction to suddenly reminiscing about time travel paradoxes (a topic which I thoroughly approve of). Gah! I want to hug you both...I'm gonna sit over here and be less creepy now...

Gosh darn it, each panel is beautifully executed and their expressions are so natural and cute. And Liam is older than Milo? That's pretty interesting :)

If you ever print and sell these like Teahouse, please, PLEASE include the alt-text; it kills me every time. You guys ROCK!

I have been out of town for the past few days, and I was elated when I realized that I had not one, but TWO updates to look forward to.
And were they worth it!
I undoubtedly love Milo's hair. In all its glory. And its corona of awesome curls.
Liam's locket-like personality is just fun to watch. Simple secrets meant to be seen that mean the most to those that share the locket.
Ah, how I love this comic...you have done well not only to depict a relationship, but to transcend mere cuteness and wonderfully portray romance.
And now! I wait for the next installment.

how utterly adorkable. it warms my heart. (^_^)
Drae12.18.2011, 2:41 PM
Three years is a long time to pine after someone at that age. I hope Liam appreciates it.
(And now I'm conflicted between 'aawww all that waiting, so romantic and One True Love' and 'I kind of hope Milo experimented elsewhere during that time so that at least one of them knows what they're doing'.)

Milo, in that last panel, looks like a freaking ANIMAL. About to pounce on his prey.~

Much like how Anti-Heroes can be vastly different from each other, so can Anti-Villains. This scale is a measure of how ambiguous an Anti-Villain is. Inversely related to Sliding Scale of Antagonist Vileness. Can contribute to Sliding Scale of Villain Threat and Sliding Scale of Villain Effectiveness. Compare with Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes. Type I and Type II are often a darker shade of grey, while Type III and Type IV tend to be a lighter shade (with the latter even being in a Good Versus Good situation sometimes). Works with an Enlightenment leaning tend to make frequent use of Type II and Type III anti villains,showing the villain as a product of society or simply misguided.
open/close all folders
Type I: Noble Anti-VillainAlthough he may choose to be evil and perhaps embrace his villainous reputation, when the time comes for him to walk the walk, he turns away. This type of anti villain has a set of standards, certain lines that he will never cross. As such, he is the first one to say Even Evil Has Standards when faced with someone who offends said code of conduct. Unlikely to Kick the Dog but will Pet the Dog. Often accompanied by a Morality Pet. Alternatively, villainy is just a job to put food on the table, thus it's never personal. Placed higher on the "evilness" scale than type II because villainy is usually a choice rather than something they are driven to. The type I is the common definition of the Anti-Villain. The defining Trope for this type of Anti-Villain would be the Noble Demon (with emphasis on "noble"). Related Tropes: Noble Top Enforcer, Hitman with a Heart, Minion with an F in Evil, Would Not Shoot a Civilian, Never Hurt an Innocent, Even Evil Has Standards, Wouldn't Hurt a Child, and My Master, Right or Wrong.
Anime and Manga
Type II: Woobie Anti-VillainIt's obvious that these types of villains don't WANT to be evil; circumstances just make them out to be. They may act out of Undying Loyalty or love for someone or maybe they're simply fighting for their own survival. Others are broken cuties who have snapped and want to end their suffering by destroying everything. Usually they are suffering from their alignment. The characters garner our sympathy not because their goal is good but because we can see how the Crapsack World made them the way they are. Often suffer from a damaged psyche. Anti-Villains in this category may become true villains, but they're also just as likely to turn into an Anti-Hero. A lot (although by no means all) of Buffyverse vampires/demons fall into this category. They will tend to be driven to their villainous acts by something within their biology. One example would be vampires who don't necessarily want to kill people, but it's simply that they find human blood to be much more nutritious or tastier than that of animals. The defining trope for this type of Anti-Villain would be a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds. Related Tropes: Sympathetic Murderer, Jerkass Woobie, Tragic Villain, and a typical Dark Magical Girl.
Anime & Manga
Type III: Well-Intentioned Anti-VillainThe Well-Intentioned Extremist. They may believe in a good goal, but use whatever means there are to achieve it. The sympathy the audience can garner for this character comes from the fact that they basically share the same goal as the hero, but are pragmatically, expediently, or pessimistically, ruthless about it. They can very much be conscious about their morally questionable actions, but feel that there is no other way. Common antagonist in White and Grey Morality scenarios and relatively likely to be redeemed if shown the error of their ways depending on how "extremist" they are. These Anti-Villains may become more malicious true villains, but they are more likely to either stay in this category or possibly become a Type IV Anti-Villain or an Anti-Hero. The Type IV can also be a revolutionary of some sort, fighting against the main character only due to their affiliation to some government or organization, and usually fighting for a noble cause. Alternatively, they may not even realize what they're doing is wrong or making things worse in the first place. The more heroic examples tend to overlap with either Unscrupulous Hero, or Nominal Hero. The defining Trope for this type of Anti-Villain would be the Well-Intentioned Extremist, of course. Related Tropes: Necessarily Evil, Obliviously Evil, Totalitarian Utilitarian, Utopia Justifies the Means, Villainy-Free Villain.
Anime & Manga
Type IV: Villain in Name OnlyThese characters either lack any villainous traits whatsoever or have so much concern over others that any signs of villainy are nearly completely drowned out. Frequently, these characters are called villains only because they fight against the hero. Basically, these guys are NEVER actively malevolent. They usually have some other reason for opposing the hero besides evil schemes. Ironically, these characters can be extremely dangerous to the hero as their high skill at arms/competence more than makes up for their lack of vileness. Fighting them also poses a moral dilemma which can also sap the hero's morale. It is at this point where an Anti-Villain starts to blur with the Hero Antagonist. Having to kill a particularly well liked type IV in a boss fight can be a Player Punch. Their deaths are extremely likely to be a Tear Jerker. Related Tropes: more benign My Country, Right or Wrong or My Master, Right or Wrong, Non-Malicious Monster, Punch Clock Villain, Noble Top Enforcer (when not a Type I), mild examples of Necessarily Evil, those who are Forced Into Evil, and occasionally a Token Good Teammate (when amongst a bunch of scumbags).
