Mexco Energy Corporation Announces Oil Acquisition
MIDLAND, Texas, March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mexco Energy Corporation (AMEX: MXC) (the "Company") announced the purchase of working interests in 160 gross acres in the Fuhrman-Mascho Field of Andrews County, Texas, for an approximate purchase price of $670,000. The Company funded the cash purchase price primarily from its $5.0 million credit facility and the balance from working capital.
This acreage contains four (4) wells, three of which are producing from the San Andres and one recently drilled well from the Grayburg and San Andres formations at an approximate depth of 5,000 feet. These wells are operated by Cone and Petree Oil & Gas Exploration, Inc. The Company owns working interests of approximately 10.8% (7.77% net revenue interest) in this property.
This property contains an additional 11 potential drill sites in the Grayburg and San Andres formations, with more dense spacing of approximately 10 acres per well. This new spacing in the Fuhrman-Mascho Field has been shown to increase production.
The Fuhrman-Mascho Field of Andrews County, Texas was discovered in 1930. This field currently contains approximately 2,400 producing wells. Cumulative production from the field to date is approximately 122 million barrels of oil and 122 billion cubic feet of gas."This acquisition represents a valuable addition of long-lived oil reserves for the Company with future development drilling locations surrounded by producing oil wells," said Nicholas C. Taylor, President and CEO of Mexco. Mexco Energy Corporation, a Colorado corporation, is an independent oil and gas company located in Midland, Texas engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

Hi all,
I'm mainly a lurker on here but I do find your messages really helpful! I'm 12 weeks pp tomorrow and EPing around 35-40oz a day. However I'm still pumping once in the night and every 2 hours in the day- I'm so scared that if I pump less I'll lose supply! I have noticed that if I go long stretches I produce a lot of foremilk and not

I agree with pp. You may even see an increase. The fm/hm will work
itself out a few days into the schedule too.
I didn't see a real noticible decrease until I went from 4 to 3.
Good luck!

Eureka! Large Hadron Collider fires up, smashes protons
Years in development, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva on Tuesday achieved its first proton-on-proton collisions at higher energy levels than scientists have ever seen before. They'll study images of the particles for clues to the nature of matter and the universe.
Martial Trezzini/Keystone/AP/File
Scientists have opened what promises to be a new window on the universe, and on the matter and energy it contains, with Tuesday's record-breaking particle collisions at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva.
At 7:06 a.m. EDT, detectors at the lab's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recorded the accelerator's first proton-on-proton collisions at energy levels roughly 3.5 times higher than those in previous experiments.
The event marks the beginning of what researchers expect to be a historic 18- to 24-month science run. After that, scientists will attempt to drive the accelerator closer to its full design energy of 14 trillion electron volts. That energy level corresponds to energies present when the universe was only one ten-billionth of a second old.
IN PICTURES: The Large Hadron Collider
Hopes are high that the new proton-smashing tool can lead to breakthroughs in scientists' understanding of basic physics.
"The last revolution in physics happened about 100 years ago, at the end of the 19th century," explains Jurgen Schukraft, a physicist and spokesman for an experiment dubbed ALICE, one of four major experiments along the underground accelerator's 27-kilometer (17-mile) circumference.
Scientists had a standard model of how the world worked, "but there was some data that did not fit," he says. The outcome of attempts to resolve the problems: general relativity and quantum mechanics, two pillars of modern science.
Today "we are in a similar situation. We have a standard model, which explains most things, but there are a few oddities. Where does mass come from? How many dimensions are there in the universe? What is dark matter?"

Started out with a light shower then it began to Rain by the second episode. Could not help it. LOL. Anyway I am liking this so far. Rain, Krystal, L, and Hoya how can I not but I hope it does not turn out to be the typical drama. Cannot wait for the next episodes.
From reading the reviews I take it this is not very good. I am a huge fan of George Hu after watching him in the Prince of Lang Lin and Love around. I will check out a few episodes and see what is going on.
Wow that fight scene in ep 4 was hot. Two hotties going at it. I originally came here for Eric but I have to admit this is better than I expected. Sung Jung is awesome as usual. Cannot wait until the next episode.

International Student Volunteer
- 0Jun 1, '07 by baruchDukeHey everyone! I am a new member and also a nursing student. I am asking for help due to the fact that I am looking to travel as a health care vounteer internationally during my next summer break (kind of like making up for the no-option of study abroad in nursing school). I speak spanish and would prefer to travel to central or south america. I know that some people disagree with a student traveling to help out a clinics where professionals are in greater need. However, I've had experience traveling with medical groups before during high school to indigent populations not only in central america but in america as well (only lasting for a few weeks each) and I fell in love with international/rural health care!
those trips only lasted for a couple weeks where as I am now looking for trips that last around 4 months.
I was wondering if anyone is involved in or knows of any medical clinic websites, groups or programs lasting from 4-6 months accepting students to travel with them. Thank you so much!!
- 0Jun 1, '07 by ExAirBagRNYes, I second the welcome!
About your original post, I work with a student that is going to Peru
next month (for 2 weeks only in a health clinic) with an organization called "Global Crossroads".
I have perused their website and loved all the opportunities........endless, really.
Hope this helps and maybe we will 'cross roads" !!!
- 0Oct 7, '07 by newlvngraddo you know if this organization pays for housing?? or the plane ticket or do we have to pay for all of that? And would you happen to know the requirements for volunteering in other countries? thanks so much
- 0Mar 31, '08 by strawberry_birdI am looking into summer volunteer opportunities for student nurses. I want to go international. I have had some experince with IV drug users, sex workers, mentally ill... I am also interested in plastic/reconstructive surgery. Any ideas on groups to get into contact with?
- 0Jan 7, '09 by Mission360I have a non-profit as well as work with 3 other non-profit Mission organizations. We work in the Caribbean and Africa with a trip leaving to Kenya in two weeks and a 3 week trip to Ethiopia in Jul 09.
These trips offer some of the most rewarding experiences you can imagine. Typically we have several clinic days and also offer surgeries. Students are welcome. The heart for missions is REQUIRED!
We have some informational sessions scheduled for Mid Feb and early Mar. where we will talk about opportunities, costs and much more.
I am creating a course as an Honors Project for Lee College that will give students the opportunity to go on a short term mission and get credit - kinda like a mini session abroad.

2013 Leaders in Diversity & Inclusion Recognized Annual competition sponsored by BMO Financial Group recognizes Canada's Best Diversity Employers TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/19/13 -- The 2013 winners of the Canada's Best Diversity Employers competition were announced today, recognizing the nation's most progressive organizations in creating diverse and inclusive workplaces. This year's list of winners, expanded to 55 organizations, was announced this morning. "BMO is the founding sponsor of this important competition, now entering its seventh year," says Lynn Roger, Senior Vice President and Chief Talent Officer at BMO Financial Group. "Our company is built on diversity, and we continue to succeed by making sure our employees truly reflect the communities we serve." The Canada's Best Diversity Employers competition recognizes employers who have developed exemplary initiatives in a range of areas, including programs for women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, Aboriginal peoples, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) peoples. Applicants were selected by the editorial team at the Canada's Top 100 Employers project, which manages the competition. "It is gratifying to see employers across the country expanding their diversity and inclusiveness initiatives," says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp Canada Inc. "Our country is a leader in this field and a wide range of employers now recognize that creating an inclusive workplace is a prerequisite to success in today's marketplace." BMO's own diversity and inclusion programs are also expanding, including such innovative programs as pre-employment training for people with disabilities, as well as scholarship and internship opportunities for Aboriginal students. "BMO has a long history of promoting diversity and inclusion across all areas of its business," added Ms. Roger. "As diversity and inclusiveness efforts expand, leading organizations are looking beyond the designated groups and towards the individual," says Trevor Wilson, President of TWI Inc., the consulting firm that pioneered a diversity measurement methodology called The Equity Continuum - an industry-recognized diversity measurement methodology - and a founding partner of the competition. "Effective diversity initiatives maximize the human capital each of us brings to our organizations, drawing on our own unique backgrounds, abilities and life experiences." About BMO Financial Group Established in 1817 as Bank of Montreal, BMO Financial Group is a highly diversified North American financial services organization. With total assets of $525 billion as at October 31, 2012, and more than 46,000 employees, BMO Financial Group provides a broad range of retail banking, wealth management and investment banking products and solutions. BMO Financial Group funds the costs of managing the Canada's Best Diversity Employers competition and, as founding sponsor, has taken itself out of consideration for the award. BMO and TWI did not take part in the selection of winners, which is done by the editorial team at Mediacorp.

New Book Reveals Fundamental Flaw in Darwin's Theory
The question is not that, as a philosophical construction, it is possible to fuse faith in God and faith in evolution. Of course, in principle, it is possible. But our question is that it is true or not that evolution happened in the past at all. If evolution did take place, then God's existence undoubtedly remains a philosophical possibility. But if there was no evolution, then God's existence is a certainty beyond all doubt. Although today evolutionism is the ruling paradigm, science could not prove evolution in the last one hundred and fifty years. And our spiritual lineage takes the opposite side and describes the complete design and complete creation of species in their presently known form.
It is true that fundamentalist Christian explanations do not give a complete and perfect answer to the question of origin, because they do not know the repeated "devolution" process that involves higher beings in the universe. But there is a common point of the traditional Christian and the traditional Vaishnava explanation of creation. All of the species were designed by the Highest Being and these species appeared on the Earth closely in their present forms. This traditional interpretation is antagonistic with every version of evolutionary speculation.
Athough you are a devotee it seems to me that you have become influenced by the contemporary, strong evolutionary propaganda. But our research shows that the evolutionary paradigm to be highly deficient, leaving many features and behaviours of animals unexplainable, and so we do not feel the need to change the divinely revealed Vaishnava theology and purports of our previous acaryas to satisfy those attached to evolutionary theories. We recommend you read our book and consider seriously the cases in question, and you may come to a similar conclusion.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.

You wrote that you would like to read something more than "Darwin is dogma, we reject it". I inform you with great joy that beyond the second and third canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam there are many books like that in the contemporary Vaishnava literature. For example the books of H. H. Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Maharaja, H. G. Sadaputa prabhu, the book of H.G. Drutakarma prabhu: "Human Devolution," the book of H. G. Nanda-nandana prabhu (Stephen Knapp): "How the Universe was Created and Our Purpose In It" or our "Nature's IQ" published recently. If someone reads these books he or she will see that they are not based on blind and irrational resistance, but they support the detailed Vaishnava origin concept by logic and by common sense, and this way they are the most contributive to human understanding. So yes, we can show another "mechanism" by which the species appeared in the universe.
Surprisingly you state that the Bhagavatam does not speak about multiple creation events. This is simply not true. There is a creation at the beginning of the life of Brahma and at the beginning of every day of Brahma. Moreover there are partial creations at the beginning of each manvantara (please see eg. the Bhag. 4.30.48), including the region of our Earth.
You said that evolution seems more in tune with observable phenomena (the fossil record). But it is possible to successfully evaluate the fossils from the angle of Vaishnava world view. The annihilations at the end of long cosmic time periods can be seen as "mass extinctions". At the same time the existence of "living fossils" shows, that the forms of species have not changed in the last tens of millions of years. The absence of billions of "missing links" also does not support the evolutionary approach, nor does the existence of anomalously old fossil evidence. So the complete picture of the fossil record supports the idea that living beings were created in their complete form.
You mention that the evolutionary explanation of the development of species through natural forces is not a priori atheistic. That is true and obvious. We did not state the opposite nor in our book nor in the review on the Dandavats. It is common sense that there are basically two types of evolutionary thinking: a theistic and an atheistic approach. But at the same time we have to be aware that although not every evolutionist is an atheist but practically every atheist is an evolutionist.

Dear Sita-pati prabhu!
I have read your post regarding the "Nature's IQ" book with surprise. I was also surprised by seeing your other articles and videos on your homepage, where you try to defend the evolutionary world view.
Because some of your comments are irrelevant, I guess that you have not read our book. You suggested that our book was written in a "one dogma versus another" style, but this is not the case at all. The IQ book presents a hundred special inborn animal instincts described by scientists (ethologists) in the last few decades. We ask the question that if the contemporary science is able to explain the origin of these behavioral patterns by evolutionary logic. With my co-author, Bhagavat-priya prabhu (Balazs Hornyanszky)–who is a bio-engineer–we analyzed dozens of cases and concluded that satisfactory scientific answers do not exist, and because of logical reasons, probably will not exist. In the last chapter of the book we present the Vaishnava description of creation as a realistic alternative.
I recommend you read the example of the mallee fowl bird's strange incubation technique on the http://www.naturesiq.com webpage. I ask you to offer an evolutionary explanation for it, in complete harmony with the Darwinian logic and the known facts related to this complex behaviour. (If you need I can offer a scientific bibliography about this extraordinary incubation method.) Since in particular cases, evolutionists often cannot apply their philosophy, and since the Vaishnava scriptures and the opinion of our founder-acarya do not support their overstatements, so there is no need to embrace the crucial parts of their ideas.
You wrote that it was not enough to refute the scientific theories because "science is wrong because it's based on sense perception". But for those, who has strong faith in sastra it is enough argumentation, because this is our basic epistemological approach. Sabda is superior to pratyaksa and anumana. But of course we wrote our book to those, who do not have–or do not have enough–faith in the Vaishnava literature. We try to show for them that even empirical facts and unbiased thinking better support the non-evolutionary origin of living beings.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

New insights on Saturn's formation from its nitrogen isotopic composition
The recent derivation of a lower limit for the $^{14}$N/$^{15}$N ratio in Saturn's ammonia, which is found to be consistent with the Jovian value, prompted us to revise models of Saturn's formation using as constraints the supersolar abundances of heavy elements measured in its atmosphere. Here we find that it is possible to account for both Saturn's chemical and isotopic compositions if one assumes the formation of its building blocks at $\sim$45 K in the protosolar nebula, provided that the O abundance was $\sim$2.6 times protosolar in its feeding zone. To do so, we used a statistical thermodynamic model to investigate the composition of the clathrate phase that formed during the cooling of the protosolar nebula and from which the building blocks of Saturn were agglomerated. We find that Saturn's O/H is at least $\sim$34.9 times protosolar and that the corresponding mass of heavy elements ($\sim$43.1 \Mearth) is within the range predicted by semi-convective interior models.

Dallas Cowboys and the NFL
Latest news on the Cowboys
Special teams still need lots of work
ARLINGTON – That was apparent when the Titans returned the kickoff following Marion Barber's TD run 51 yards. Tennessee then got an extra 10 when Gerald Sensabaugh was called fo a late hit. Four plays later, Tennessee kicked a 46-yard field goal to pull within 7-3 early in the second. On the opening kickoff, Sam […] [Read More]
Barber scores first TD at new stadium
ARLINGTON – Bullish RB Marion Barber capped an impressive Tony Romo-directed 15-play, 90-yard march with a 1-yard run, giving Dallas a 7-0 lead with 2:52 left. The march lasted 9 minutes, 11 seconds and included a 19-yard strike from Romo to Jason Witten that gave the Cowboys first and goal at the 1. Barber began […] [Read More]
National anthem goes old school
ARLINGTON – Rather than have a big-name singer belt out the national anthem, the Cowboys handed the job to trumpet player Adam Rappa. While Rappa did his stuff, the video board showed a picture of Tommy Loy, who opened Cowboys games with a national anthem trumpet solo for the first 22 years of the franchise. […] [Read More]
All signs point to Jenkins starting
The depth chart has Mike Jenkins starting at right CB and he worked with the first team during warmups. It's been apparent for awhile now that it's Jenkins job to lose. Orlando Scandrick did a fine job last week against the Raider, but he only got the start because Jenkins was out with a mild […] [Read More]
Guess what's missing?
There's no giant star at midfield. That's surprising, considering Jerry Jones told reporters at camp in San Antonio last week that there would be one. A member of the Cowboys media relations department just pleaded ignorance when asked about the star-less field. Guess we'll have to ask Jerry about it after the game. [Read More]
Players have different route onto field
The team's days of entering and leaving the field through a tunnel behind the end zone are over. The players route onto the field takes them through the concourse with fans on either side of them. It looks great now, with everybody all smiles. But can you imagine how tough it's going to be for […] [Read More]
The man of the hour
ARLINGTON – Jerry Jones is doing an interview in the end zone with Kristi Scales, the team's ace Blue Star Media sideline reporter. Jones said during camp in San Antonio that today marks one of the highlights of his career. Love him or hate him, you've got to give Jones credit for pulling this off. […] [Read More]
Hard to ignore the video boards
ARLINGTON – Roy Williams was right. You can't take your eyes off them. The world's largest HD video boards stretch 60 yards long and are 72-feet tall. They hang 90 feet above the field and cost $40 million. The Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision System weighs 600 tons. The Express-News has two seats in the press […] [Read More]

Lilies of the Valley are known for being a popular wedding bouquet arrangement (Just look at Kate Middleton's or Grace Kelly's). But did you know these flowers are also exchanged on International Labour day in French Cultured Countries?
Legend has it, back in 1560, King Charles IX's Knight, Louis de Girard offered his king lilies of the Valley as a symbol of spring renewal. Following this gesture, the King made it the official flower to offer to ladies of the court each year.
It wasn't till the beginning of the XXth century that these lilies were associated to the International Labour day in French culture.

this movie, omg... "Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki" watch it. It's amazing, seriously.(image found on Tumblr: http://evangelizer.tumblr.com/post/43670310560 ) It's about werewolves, yes, but not cheesy, stupid Twilight "werewolves" or whatever... These are my new favorite type of werewolves, and I'll probably never think of werewolves as vicious bad-guys ever again.This was a beautiful story of a mother and her two children. I loved the story, really did. I even sort of started wanting to have kids on my own as well I mean, Ami and Yuki were so sweet, and funny, and realistic - personality and behavior wise.And their mother was a fantastic character. I really, really liked how she was portrayed.I could go on about how much I just loved this movie.. But I'll shut up and just recommend it to you all instead.Do yourself a favor, and watch this incredible movie
SPIKE updates - nov2013Yesh, it's about time I gave you guys an update on the progress of my novel, "SPIKE".I've gotten a lot of notes and comments asking when the book will be finished, how far I've come in the writing process, or how many chapters there are so far, and so forth... And I love getting questions like that, because that means people are interested in my work, many of which say they even love my work, and.. just wow, I mean, I'm completely honest when I say that it means a whole lot to me. And I'm serious when I say that without the support from you guys (you all know who you are <3 ), I would never have bothered continuing the SPIKE story. I would probably just have posted chapter 0, deleted it, and stuffed it all in a drawer and possibly even given up on the whole story-teller dream. Feedback is very important to me, which sounds very selfish, I know, but I used to be incredibly insecure of myself and everything I did. I had this dream of becoming a cartoonist to have my stories told, and
SPIKE updatesJust thought I'd share with you guys some updates on the progress of finishing my "SPIKE" novel.A lot of people have asked me how it's going, when it will be published and stuff. I really appreciate getting asked these things because it shows that people are actually interested in my writings, and that it just such a great feeling I've got two news for you guys today though: one bad news and one good news. Let's start with the bad news.I haven't finished writing SPIKE yet.And I honestly don't know when it will be finished - which oddly enough brings us to the good news:I've made a new, major decision in the SPIKE story that I think a lot of you will be happy to hear. As usual I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a part in the story where Spike and Sam are separated from each other for quite a long while. At first I was planning on only writing from Spike's point of view, like, what he's experiencing during this separation period. I figured that since he's the main cha
eggiesNot sure if you guys are even interested in these, but I've drawn on eggs again:This is something I used to do a lot back when I was more active on my old nocturnalMoTH account. I've kinda missed doing this.. But, yeah, if you wanna see more of these little fellows, head over to my nocturnalMoTH gallery :3 there's a gallery folder there called "eggs and pills" with more of this madness...
Rescue InkI found out about these people through a Tumblr post; They're tough, tattooed bikers who fight against animal abuse and neglect. In other words: they're heroes.I could say a lot more about them, but I think you should check out their website and see for yourself:http://www.rescueink.org/I just made a donation, and I wanted to write this journal to encourage other people to make donations too - if you can, and want to Every single dollar helps There are plenty of animal rescuers or animal shelters you can donate to, and they need all the help they can get as well. Donate to the shelter or rescuers that you feel you want to support I personally felt like donating to these people, because I know they're not afraid of taking action against abusers, and they're educating people to be nice to animals as well, AND they're rehabilitating and rescuing animals, so pretty much everything I learned about them made me want to help out and show my support.I'm thinking of doing some c
an introduction to my Anthro universe.. :PI got a question the other day, about what dog breed Sam and Saunders in their anthro form is supposed to be.I started answering the comment, but soon found out it would just end up being a looooong reply... And I thought, as I wrote, that maybe others would be interested in what breed they and their relatives are, as well as Spike's breed, some character origins, how the people (or anthro) in my little fictive universe views their fellow inhabitants, and a bit of history around this whole thing.Therefore, I'm deciding on writing a journal entry about this.First of:The different breeds.Saunders and Sam were originally, when I first created and designed them, supposed to be Golden Retrievers. Thus, they did in fact both have floppy, furry ears just like the Golden has. For some reason, I felt this made the characters look sad, so I changed - I think - Saunders' ears first to stand up just like a Terrier's ears. Sam's ears changed shortly after. I kept this change as I thought it ma
Oh holy wow! :DRemember the wolf tattoo I drew that I wanted to get tattooed on my chest?Well, I got an appointment with this amazing tattoo artist from Iceland, which is on June 6th. I wanted him to draw my wolf tattoo in his own style, and today he messaged me with a rough sketch of his version. And oh my God, you guys! It looks incredible! I wish I could show you, but I won't because I don't have the right to post someone else's artwork on my page and stuff, plus I want to let you guys wait until I've gotten it tattooed on me But the wings, they looked so realistic and so soft! And the wolf looked so kind and badass at the same time, and the details were just mind blowing! and holy wow, I seriously can't wait till June 6th I love his version of the tattoo, and I'm very happy he could re-design it for me He's a super-skilled artist, so I'm truly grateful he has the time to tattoo me. This tattoo is going to be so beautiful, I just know it! I'm gonna wear it so proudly,
LeechesHere's an average summary of a private message that I receive on a weekly basis:Hello,I just came by your profile and saw your art, and was very impressed. I think you have a very nice art style. Now I'm working on this project. It's called <project>. It's an awesome story about <subject>. I'm currently writing the script for it, but I'm planning to make a visual novel. I can't tell too much about the story, since I don't want it to be copied, but it's going to be really cool. The point is; I need illustrators. I'm an excellent writer, but I can't do illustration at all. And therefore, I wanted to ask for your help. I need about 60 pages illustrated and colored. Would you work together with me on this one? I don't have any money to spend, as I'm not an established writer yet. But when the visual novel gets published, you can get a percentage of my profit.With kind regards,Person XWell... let me translate this for you.This Person X
My thoughts...Firstly, as always I'd like to express my honest gratitude for all the comments I've received and as well, very important to know for me were about school/courses informations. I don't care if you read this or not but- thank you very much!I would like to state how community flow is really important for me. No, not only for me but to many people. Just many people aren't aware of this.I think the interactions between the artist and watchers - and whole community relationships thing - is one of the most vital parts that our creations exist. Writers have fans, travelers, artists, illustrators, companies, fashion bloggers etc. and so on. You may call it as a "fanbase", thus I prefer to not call because "fans" and "fanbase" has a lot of negative stereotypes and image about blindly screaming "minors". I'd prefer to name differently, because I do not view them as minors. Absolutely. I view them as an every worthy human on equal worth as the creator and that's a fact. They are just guests to
And then I returned...It's been a while since I've been actively online.But even though temporary, it did changed my perspective on some matters.It's weird how much the internet can become an influence, and how this process goes so unnoticed. At a certain point the countless voices of people around you blend into a continuous buzz. A buzz that you soon get so familiar with that you forget there was a life before it. I guess that's what social media does in general; creating a buzz. An artificial need for you to continuously be online and check your messages, because you might just miss something otherwise. Life, in general, has become so infused with the internet that it sometimes scares me. I'm part of the internet industry. Hell, I even made it my job! But even I sometimes find myself wondering where the time has gone that I could work on an artwork for hours straight, without feeling that creeping itch to check my messages. The last few weeks before the break, I've repeatedly felt bad about

So you're not getting enough comments on your workAre you getting fed up of not having enough people watching your work? Maybe wanting more established artists to notice you and comment on your work, but you're not actually getting any? And the big one, not getting enough comments on your artwork? Maybe I can help you here!Keep reading, though this blog is long, it is worth it I really want to help many of you get more comments, with providing AoE with all it's staff, to help every one of you become more noticed. However it frustrates me that many are still not taking part and yet are unhappy at how unnoticed they are. AoE has always encouraged artists to comment and critique artwork. We get so many artists wanting to have more comments on their work, and feel disappointed that they don't get any. There's no magic solution to this, but I can give some pointers on getting more.NETWORKSadly, yes. This *really* is the way you're going to get noticed as an artist.

Wurr - the first five years27th of June 2007 the first page of Wurr was uploaded online. Today, five years later, what had originally been planned as a mere three page short story with the option of branching out aimlessly has turned into an actual story with a driving plot with 147 pages already existing and two books even printed (English version is under working). Half a decade already. Wow.Happy half-decade birthday, comic!Man, it's been a long way. And even more still lies ahead, let's see if I can wrap it up before hitting the full decade mark.Since it's kind of a special occasion, I thought it might be fun to look back to how it became what it is today.I had wanted to make a comic of my own for something like ten years before Wurr even started, and I had had several started projects in the likes of "this is the greatest idea I've ever had in my life! I must make a comic right now", none of which ever got past their third page. It's funny, before Wurr I always advertised and talked about my comics and
How to make friends on deviantARTThis is a remake of an old journal I made, but it seems like it's happening a lot around here again, so I'll be reiterating and adding more things to it here! Feel free to link anyone to this journal if they're attempting to force friendship on you or are just going about things in the wrong way, and need a little nudge in the right direction.There /is/ a RIGHT WAY and a WRONG WAY to try to make friends!Wrong WayHave you ever been asked by someone randomly, "Can we be friends?" ? Or perhaps someone simply acts as if you are their best friend, even when you don't know them. They may comment to others talking about you a lot, or call you by a nickname that only your friends use, write journals about you, send tons of notes or comments to you, "mention" you all the time, jump into your conversations with someone else, or perhaps make a lot of buddy-buddy fan-art that makes you uncomfortable?This is a message for those kinds of people.

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they'll make room for you. You shouldn't have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it's not the people that stand by your side when you're at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you're

Anthropomorphic animals =/= furriesI'd like to take a moment to discuss this topic. There's a lot of controversy about what 'furry' means. It doesn't really have a set definition.Anthropomorphic is a definition for anything with human features. Anything, like a toaster. So, all furries are anthro, but not all anthros are furries. Some artists dismiss this term, and some use it. I don't think it's okay to call other people's anthro characters for furries unless they do so themselves. They might resent the term, therefore it would come as an insult to them - it does to me. Why insult?Well, the furry community has a bad reputation. On sites such as FurAffinity, which is dedicated to anthropomorphic animals, has an ocean of pornographic content which range from clean to what-the-fuck-eww. People who draw and commission these kinds of things usually refer to themselves as furries. Their characters usually do not have properly developed personalities (some purely consisting of slut
04/13/13Dear friends,I came back here this morning to bid a silent farewell to this place, a place I'd been a part of for a long time, and then I see the comments so many of you have left on my page and on the journal that was written by the wonderful Vris. It made me realize a lot of things
some good and some bad.The main thing it made me see was just how much I had changed as a person and how much I should try to change further.There's probably a million and one things I could sit here and say to any one of you but at this point I think actions could speak louder than words every could. I won't sit here and promise that I'll change everything or that I'll become a better person because that won't mean anything if it's just words. Many of you have stood by me and helped encourage me through hard times and praise me through good times. For that I am eternally grateful and I can only hope that I can somehow be just as amazing as you are one day.To some of you I have become somethin
Difference between selling Art and selling MeatGreetings Ryceballs. Today I am gonna be talking about the differences between selling art and selling meat.vsIt is absolutely fascinating how different the two can be! :iconyoudontsayplz: ... Well first of all, an artist likes their work to be appreciated and let the audience see for themselves whether they want to buy their artwork or not. While a butcher (ESPECIALLY ASIAN ONES LIKE THE ONE IN THE ARTWORK) only cares about selling the meat and making the profit, they have no sentimental feelings towards what they are selling, because if they do then there won't be any meat to sell right? One of the main rule of a butcher is to have no emotional attachment towards the animals, because they know sooner or later the animal needs to be chopped up. Well what about artists? Well they put their blood, sweat and tears into their artwork to make it as pretty as possible, all in hopes that the audiences would enjoy their art as much as the artist enjoy making them. NOW here's the thing thoug
artzI think that anger from visual artists towards other artists never has anything to do with anatomy, style, age, content, or personality. These are just icing on the cake. At the core, I think there two kinds of practicing artists:- People who believe that you need to be qualified (by an abstract or specific entity, person, or group) in order to make a living or name for yourself. Anyone who is doing these things without qualification is a cheater who will fail ultimately.- People who believe qualification is subjective, or even irrelevant, and you might as well shoot for the name or living while you progress your skills anyway. Anyone who isn't trying to make their mark while practicing anyway is wasting their time.I think that a recognizable name and income are the "holy grail" achievements for artists
though obviously there are many tiers and kinds of achievements, some big and some small! I suppose it's a little natural for artists to be angry, envious, or upset whe
A wastebin and a wallChinese culture is full of proverbs and stories that are supposed to teach you something.

Real-life DenmarkHe exists. In my chemistry lecture. Thank goodness he's only in my chemistry lecture.You all know Denmark, right? The tall, loud-mouthed, to-the-point, arrogant, hot-headed, oblivious, and lovable Dane? Well, someone like that sits about five seats away from me every time I go to class. He has the same upright messy sandy blonde hair as Denmark, blue eyes, tall height, loud voice, and ideal facial structure like Denmark might if he was real. In short, his looks aren't bad, either. The problem? He's just like Denmark. Oh, is he ever. He doesn't shut up. At all. He has weird friends, but thinks he's friends with everyone. He always makes sure he's around a group of girls because he thinks he can understand them. He doesn't realize he's being too loud for the people around him to hear what the professor's trying to say. He thinks he knows everything, but he's usually about halfway each time. He works hard, but he brags more than his actions carry him through the day. He's s
REAL CREATIVISM LOGA lot of people ask me what do i think when im drawing, whats your creative process, and what are the magical fairies you are thinking while you draw, about life, beauty and wisdom of the world.

It also inspires be back, because I know very well how it's like to work your butt off and not feeling you're getting anywhere. And I can relate when some of you say you actually lose all motivation when you see my work (or others' work, of course), because you feel you could never reach that same "level". I was there too, I've felt just like you guys! I have also had the nagging feeling that my art might not be good enough, but those thoughts are all stupid. Yeah, they are. I'll be rude enough to say that right now.Art can be very frustrating in your "growth period", if I can call it that. And while being your own worst critic can help you grow, it can also tear you down and destroy everything called 'motivation'. So

Sunday, December 29, 2013The weather early this morning was quite nice with very mild temps and very little wind. A check for sparrows in the lakes region was quite successful with good numbers of American Tree Sparrows, Song Sparrows, Swamp Sparrows, and a White-throated Sparrow. Waterfowl in open water areas were decent with Snow Geese (2-Wht. and 1-Blu), Canada Geese (over 6,000 in Main Ring Lake alone), a Trumpeter Swan (still in Main Injector Moat), American Black Ducks, Mallards, Ring-necked Ducks, Common Goldeneye and Common Mergansers. Interestingly, the pair of American Black Ducks must have thought that this brief warm-up was a sign of spring since we caught them copulating in Bulrush Pond. Another highlight was a lone American Coot in the Main Injector Moat. The North Roads were quiet except for a nice flock of a dozen or more Lapland Longspurs and a few Horned Larks. Dave
Sunday, December 22, 2013Not too much happening bird-wise this morning at Fermilab. Snow, not wind or temperature, was the major factor affecting the land birds. Waterfowl were mostly concentrated on Main Ring Lake with approx. 5000 Canada Geese, some Mallards and several Common Goldeneye. Joining the Trumpeter Swan on the Main Injector Moats were several more Common Goldeneye and a Ring-necked Duck. Except for the typical winter sparrows ( Tree and Juncos) the only other birds of interest were several Horned Larks. Dave
Thursday, December 19, 2013It was a great morning for birding at the Lab today. Temps were very mild but cool enough to keep the ground from becoming sloppy. In addition winds were almost nonexistent. The only area I covered with open water and waterfowl was Main Ring Lake having Canada Geese (approx. 2000), Mallards (approx. 50), American Black Ducks (2), Common Goldeneye (12), and Common Merganser (24). The Trumpeter Swan was all by itself on the Main Injector Moat. After having numerous sparrows along A.E. Sea during the CBC Saturday, I could only locate one small group having American Tree Sparrows (about 15), Song Sparrows (2) and Swamp Sparrows (3). I did locate another 6 or more Swamp Sparrows elsewhere, which is well above what would normally be expected this time of year. It was a great day for woodpeckers finding Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers, a Hairy Woodpecker, a Northern Flicker, and the bird of the day a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (now the latest sighting, previous latest was in the first week of December back in the early 2000's). Some other highlights were a Wilson's Snipe, a pair of Great Horned Owls, Blue Jays (they seem to be everywhere), an American Crow, Eastern Bluebirds and American Robins. Dave
Saturday, December 14, 2013Christmas Bird Count - 2013: Note: Unless noted all references here are to birds found only within Fermilab and not the entire count circle (radius of 7.5 miles with Fermilab at the center). It was a very pretty day for the bird count. Temps were very mild with a light snow most of the day unlike last year when it rained all day and the temps were above freezing (pretty miserable conditions). Saturday's temps were in the high 20's keeping the ground frozen and the mud off the boots. The snow did seem to affect the birds somewhat and made the morning owling a failure. We ended up with 50 species for the day which is just about at the ten -year average of 50.6 species. Waterfowl numbers for the most part were lower than normal due to ice cover on most waters. The best of the waterfowl were two each Ring-necked Ducks and Bufflehead (only the 2nd Fermi CBC sighting). Other waterfowl of interest were American Black Duck (1, lowest in 13 years), Common Goldeneye (242, a respectable number), and Common Merganser (8, fairly low count). The number of Great Blue Herons (3) was well below the twenty-year average of 7.5. We did well on Raptors finding Northern Harrier (4), Sharp-shinned Hawk (3), Cooper's Hawk (1), Red-tailed Hawk (8), Rough-legged Hawk (1), and American Kestrel (1). A respectable 3 Wilson's Snipe were found. The oddity of the day was a female Red-bellied Woodpecker with a yellow nape, looking just like a Golden-fronted Woodpecker but lacking the all-white rump. Some of the more common passerines were Northern Shrike (2), Blue Jay (23, highest in 10 yr), American Crow (1, still remain suppressed), Horned Lark (4), Red-breasted Nuthatch (1), Brown Creeper (4, past 10 year Ave=2), Eastern Bluebird (7), Cedar Waxwing (46), Yellow-rumped Warbler (3, highest number at Fermi), Fox Sparrow (3), Swamp Sparrow (13, 20 yr Ave=3.8), Lapland Longspur (49, previous high=4), and Red-winged Blackbird (2). Finally, our two best birds of the day were firsts for the Lab's CBC. First was a Trumpeter Swan in the Main Injector Moat which had been around for a week. Then there was an American Pipit found near the Main Ring. I think a fun day was had by all. Dave
Monday, December 9, 2014It was very cold and windy for a late afternoon/evening trip to Fermi today with not much to show for my efforts. My main objective was to scout owls for this weekend's Christmas Bird Count. No Short-eared Owls were found but I did contact an Eastern Screech-Owl (under terrible conditions). I did locate a flock of about 15 Horned Larks but not the longspurs found yesterday. The only other bird of interest was a female Bufflehead on Andy's Pond with a large flock of Canada Geese. This morning Peter relocated the Trumpeter Swan along with a Ring-necked Duck on the Main Injector Moat. Dave
Sunday, December 8, 2013There was very little wind this morning but the below normal cold did affect the bird activity in some areas. That being said, we did have a couple of very good birds. First of all we had a Trumpeter Swan in the Main Injector Moat; hopefully it will stick around until next week's Christmas Bird Count. There were lots of Canada Geese around the Lab with the majority of these found in the fields as most bodies of water were again frozen over. Other than a good number of Mallards, the only other waterfowl found were several American Black Ducks and a Common Goldeneye. The other highlight was a good number of Lapland Longspurs associated with a flock of Horned Larks. At one time there were at least 30 longspurs on the road. Finally, Peter reported Sandhill Cranes still migrating over the Lab late in the week. Dave
Thursday, December 5, 2013This morning was chilly and quite windy. However, after several warm days, most bodies of water were again open. Even though the lakes were open, there was very little diversity in the waterfowl. While at Lake Law, a couple thousand geese came in (all Canada Geese except for a couple of Cackling Geese). At Main Ring Lake I added several female Common Mergansers and, as I was leaving, a Greater White-fronted Goose was heard which eventually landed on the lake. Several more Greater White-fronted Geese were found on Lake Logo. All other birds found during the morning were either winter or year-round residents including a Northern Harrier. I got a note from Al he added a couple of fly-by Snow Geese, an American Black Duck and several Northern Shovelers. Dave
Sunday, December 1, 2013It was a decent morning for birding on December 1st with partly cloudy skies, average temps and mild winds. There were large numbers of both Canada Geese and Mallards on the still, mostly frozen Lake Law. Other waterfowl seen there and other locations in very small numbers were Cackling Goose, American Black Duck, Green-winged Teal, Common Goldeneye and Hooded Merganser. Most of our time was spent filling gaps in this week's bird list. Some of the birds found were Northern Harrier, American Kestrel, Great Horned Owl, Northern Flicker, American Crow, Horned Lark, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Eastern Bluebird, Cedar Waxwing, Savannah Sparrow (this was the bird of the day due to its bright yellow head, a feature not seen before by any of us), and Song Sparrow. Also found in several large flocks of European Starlings were Red-winged Blackbird and Brown-headed Cowbird. Dave

Save the Stelvio National Park!
With a great shame and regret, I have to make you all know that Stelvio National Park, one of the most important and largest in Italy, founded 75 years ago to preserve one of the few remaining beauties in the Central Alps, is about to be divided in three parts, to be managed in autonomy by the Provinces of Trento and Bolzano, and by the region of Lombardy.
On December 22, 2010, a Government decree established this division. The decree is to be converted into a law after the signature of the President, mr. Giorgio Napolitano, an event expected in the next days.
Dividing a National Park, and downgrading it to a casual assembly of regional / provincial parks, is the first step towards a full suppression.
This decision will have irreversible effects both on environment quality, given the strong local pressures to "use" the territory, and the area wealth, with the major attractive of these places doomed.
Why such a blind decision? Have we Italians lost some war we were not informed of?
No. The answer is much simpler. On mid December the Prime Minister mr. Berlusconi was risking his place. To remain in charge he bought various votes, in part with money, in part with promises. Including those of two fellows of the Sudtiroler Volkspartei, who in exchange of their abstention to the vote of confidence asked for the division of the Stelvio National Park.
Deleting a National Park is not something occurring frequently. And the very idea is an absolute shame. It's a theft against not only Italy, but the whole World.
We may still try stopping this. Some important Italian environmentalist associations have written to the Italian President in order he does not sign the decree. You may find some account, for example, on site
But more can be made by diffusing this "new" worldwide.
Before it's too late.
So, my dear sisters, brothers, friends, I ask you advice and, if possible, to let this shame be known everywhere.

location staff friendliness rooms breakfast
Lovely peaceful location. Excellent value for money.
Friendly and helpful proprietor. Very good sized room (we had an apartment with kitchen - plenty of utensils, fridge, microwave, hob) Bath/shower. Very clean. Plenty of parking. Breakfast good. Good aircon. Good value
Dogs allowed in communal area.
Very friendly, obliging management. Really clean rooms. Delicious breakfast. Good facilities.
Everything. From the warm welcome to the handshake farewell not forgetting the lift into San Jose, and the fresh garden figs for breakfast. Comfortable room. Brilliant soundproofing given proximity of road and that Hostal was full. Small but welcoming pool and terraces. Can't recommend it highly enough!
The hotel was perfectly situated for San Jose, for many of the coves and beaches, and for visiting cabo de gata nature reserve. The welcome at reception was really friendly and we were given a long talk explaining all the places of interest. The hotel was located in a really peaceful location with lovely views down to San Jose.
The bed was very uncomfortable and small and the walls paper thin. The bar shut at 22.30 which, as most of the restaurants opened at 21.00 meant was never available for a post dinner drink taking advantage of the peace and quiet. The breakfast was always the same, fruit and cereals and/or tostados. Rather boring by the third morning.
Very atmospheric location. Excellent, friendly service.
Los Palmitos and Cabo de Gata was really the highlight of our stay in Spain. The staff are such friendly and genuine people, you really feel like a guest at their home! Although not everyone speaks English, they take the time to explain everything in detail, draw maps, show photographs of the beaches etc. The place is quite authentic with few foreign tourists, location is handy to access all the beaches, although you do need a car. Very nice interior decor, everything is clean and cosy, and excellent fresh breakfast. Our best regards to Manuel and the team for their hospitality and kindness!
Location Outdoor space Quiet friendliness of the staff The tips given by staff
Manuel very accommodating and takes clear pride in his hotel. Lovely relaxed feeling during our stay and located equidistant between beaches and other places to see - you do need a car though! Bed very comfortable and communal area good place to relax after day's venture to beaches. Nice traditional breakfast too.
Everything was terrific. Staff very. Helpful.
The Hotel was very clean, the proprietor, Manuel, was most welcoming and very knowledgable about the surrounding areas. The room was spacious and well decorated. The breakfast was typically Spanish style with tostada, wonderful fresh orange juice, and coffee, with fruits, yogurts and cereals available.
There was nothing to dislike. We did return one afternoon and the water was not hot enough to shower, but Manuel very quickly fixed that.
Very good facilities, the staff was very nice and helpful
staff attention, breakfast, views, cleaniness, location
A good base to explore the area, We thought the appartment was spacious. It had everything we needed. The owner does his ut-most best to explain everything. Place is very clean.
In our opion the hotel laks a bit of atmosphere. The swimming pool was closed( we visited late sept. 30 degrees). Owner doesn't speak english.
One of the best places I have seen. Really good comfort, location, information about the area and privacy. The place is clean, the breakfast is tasty and the value for money is very satisfying. I'd love to come back!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The myth of native abundance
A lot of money — more than $10 billion, in fact — is expended in the effort to help lift aboriginals out of the poverty and Third World conditions that afflict their home territories on some 600 reserves across Canada.
For some people, that's way too much cash for what seems like very little progress.
For others, it means aboriginals are getting all the support they need, but such an attitude can be short-sighted and even preposterous.
Unfortunately, that's the perspective of a wealthy Saskatchewan couple who wanted to create a generous $500,000 endowment for needy students, providing the recipients were not aboriginal. Their intentions might be well-intentioned, but they are also misguided and uninformed.
Fortunately, the university did the right thing and turned down the offer, citing human rights legislation and other considerations in its decision. The controversy, however, has usefully focused attention on the misperception that aboriginals, as the couple stated, already receive generous funding for post-secondary education. Indeed, there is a prevalent attitude that every aboriginal can go to university or college for free, and that a treaty card is a ticket to wealth and higher education.
It is simply not the case, nor is it the case that the pockets of First Nations are overflowing with the cash needed to send them to the big city for higher education.
Native bands receive an allotment for post-secondary education, but the amount has not increased much in years.
Nor was it ever adequate to fully fund the education of First Nations youth, who bear the additional costs of moving to a strange city.
Some native band councils have also got into the habit of diverting money set aside for one purpose and using it for another.
So, while education may be a priority, housing and potable water are also essential to the well-being of those living on reserves. Faced with so many problems, native leaders have been forced to make hard decisions, including who can and cannot receive funding to attend university.
The result is that only some eligible aboriginals are fully funded.
The important point is that it is false that aboriginal education is a free gift for all who apply, which was the reason cited by the couple who thought it only made sense to direct their funds to non-aboriginals only.
Some determined aboriginals have been forced to take out student loans to advance their education, but research has shown that, for a variety of reasons, many natives are reluctant to go into debt when their futures are so uncertain, even with an education.
That's a problem, particularly at a time when more and more young aboriginals are finishing high school, only to find that little in the way of financial help is available to advance their educations.
Hopefully, therefore, the Saskatchewan couple can be convinced to alter their terms, because aboriginals still need plenty of help, particularly in the area of education.
The couple wanted to help needy students. Well, there are none more needy students in Canada than aboriginals, whose ability to achieve success should be important to every Canadian.

Faculty Christina Cassara
This is an advanced level studio class, which will offer the student a more sophisticated understanding of the inter-relationship between material, process and idea. The cultural and historic references of materials and processes play a powerful role in communication. To further that investigation and use it to support work, lectures and discussions will ask questions about the definitions and norms of the European/Mainstream art system. Topics will include, for example, the place of art within the gallery system and the role of art in 'non/European' cultures; the relationship between Art and the Everyday; the relationship between Realization and Representation; and the role of Social Participation in an art practice. Other topics will be guided by the work being done by the students enrolled in the class. Open elective, limited to Juniors and Seniors. Required for FMS Seniors.
While at CIA, you'll learn from the masters through our rigorous, world-class curriculum and connect with working professionals to begin your career.
