Here is a look at some crowd pleasers.
Events include the Iron Pour Jamboree at Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park in University Park.
Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park at Governors State University will host a day of activities at its inaugural Iron Pour Jamboree, a family event from 10:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Oct. 6.
"The Iron Pour Jamboree is a unique opportunity to see how metal sculptures are created, to produce your own art and to witness spectacular results when fire and iron come together," officials said.
The event will take place in and around the nationally renowned Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park, a collection of 27 works of art placed amid GSU's prairie landscape,and at the height of the park's autumn color.
As night falls, the park will present the free Iron Pour Spectacle, a once-in-a-lifetime visual display commemorating the 141st anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire.
"This is a very exciting event for us," said Geoffrey Bates, director and curator of the Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park. "We're pleased to have several prominent artists helping to guide our first-ever Iron Pour Jamboree.
"Anyone who has ever attended an iron pour knows they have been part of a remarkable experience. By presenting these elemental, powerful aspects of the creative process, we are offering a rare and unforgettable look at how metal sculpture is made."
From 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m., participants can join artists and students as they create sculptures by using scratch molds, small molds for making simple relief sculptures.
Carolyn Ottmers, Chicago-based sculptor and chair of the sculpture area at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will supervise the melting of 5,000 pounds of iron for pouring into scratch molds, which will be available for purchase.
Members of the International Sculpture Center, students from Governors State University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and friends of the Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park also will take part in the Iron Pour Jamboree.
Tickets for the Iron Pour Jamboree are $25 before Oct. 6 and $35 on event day. Scratch molds cost $20.
Information, reservations or tickets: (708) 534-4486, email@example.com.
The Iron Pour Spectacle will take place from 5-7 p.m.
Boston-based artists Marjee Levine and Dan Kendall will pay homage to the Great Chicago Fire, the anniversary of which falls on Oct. 8.
Spectators will see Levine and Kendall fire up an iron foundry and then tap it to create orange ribbons of molten iron that will flow across the landscape in wooden troughs, dripping gently onto a large-scale leather map of the city of Chicago.
Other activities at GSU and the Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park also are scheduled during the Iron Pour Jamboree.
From 4:30-7:30 p.m., the park will host a free closing reception in the GSU Visual Arts Gallery, located in E-Lounge, for "Ways of Making: Sculpture," an exhibit featuring the work of Chicago-based sculptors Juan Angel Chavez, Barbara Cooper, Bob Emser and Vivian Visser.
Food will be available after noon and throughout the rest of the afternoon. According to officials, an autumn afternoon is a perfect time to experience the monumental art and rolling Midwest landscape at Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park.
Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park is located at GSU's main campus, off University Parkway east of Governors Highway, University Park.
The park is free and open from dawn to dusk 365 days a year. Information: govst.edu/sculpture, (708) 534-4486.

State St., South Holland, South Holland, (708) 596-2000, Ext. 2300: SSC's Art & Design Department presents internationally recognized artist Brigitta Rossetti's solo exhibition "La Flor Que Yo Esperaba" through Oct. 15 with a closing reception set for 12:30 p.m.
"La Flor Que Yo Esperaba" is presented in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. This exhibition reflects Rossetti's latest exploration into an intimate journey of reflection and personal rediscovery.
Derived from nature and inspired by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, these abstract works subtly invite the viewer to immerse himself or herself into an emotional ocean of visual enchantment and delight.
Rossetti's recent monochromatic works, just as Neruda's poetry, are charged with passion, emotion, love and humanity. They dwell on the verge of despair and peril while elevating the beauty and romance of human nature.
Rossetti was born in Piacenza in 1974. She graduated in modern literature at the University of Pavia and specializes in the study of multimedia communication, obtaining the master of engineering management at the Milan Polytechnic Institute.
Her works are present in several museums and galleries and have been published in Italian art catalogs such as Post-Avant-Garde, which was edited by Paolo Levi in 2010.
Rossetti works between Milan, Turin and Chicago. She has a private studio at the Zhou Brothers Art Center in Chicago and is represented by 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago.

UNION STREET GALLERY: 1527 Otto Blvd., Chicago Heights, (708) 754-2601: The fall national juried exhibit titled "Wanna Play?" will continue to Oct. 27.

"Wanna Play?" is a playful, clever and whimsical exhibit of art that is inspired by toys, games and the act of play. The artwork represents a range of interpretations of the title. Many of the pieces depict real or invented toys or games, the industry, consumer culture or the roles of toys and games in modern-day Western society.
Some pieces take the form of actual 3-D constructions. There are works of art in "Wanna Play?" that represent the innocence of play and include imagery of childhood relics that invoke nostalgia. There are also works of art that have a dark and whimsical twist depicting toy mutations or portraying fabricated scenes in which the toys take on a life of their own.
Alphen, the judge for "Wanna Play?" is a professional artist and curator for the Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago.
Artists chosen for the exhibit include Jennifer Bittner, Peter Cales, Keri Joy Colestock, Larry Raymond Crist, Jessica Damen, Joe Casey Doyle, Lauren Dunning, Pam Eberlin, Stephanie Evans, Sarah Fagan, Kathi Flood, Jessica Freudenberg-Segal, Jonathan Frey, David Galalis, Irene Ganas, Lea Goldman, Brenda R.

Exhibition Alles Reklame! (It's All Advertising!) at Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt - from 7 October 2012 to 6 January 2013
Poster Art of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony
At the beginning of the 20th century, posters were regarded as the "fine art of the street". They were collected by museums and private collections and featured in exhibitions and various publications. In their quest to aesthetically transform all aspects of modern life, many members of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony (1899-1914) set out to communicate their artistic ideas in the public sphere. In the process, they created iconic poster masterpieces that immediately became part of the total artwork Mathildenhöhe. Alles Reklame! (It's All Advertising!) is the very first exhibition dedicated solely to this group of artworks. The most important posters of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony will be on view by artists such as Joseph Maria Olbrich, Peter Behrens, Hans Christiansen, Johann Vincenz Cissarz, Friedrich Wilhelm Kleukens and Bernhard Hoetger. In total, over 60 posters, watercolors, drawings, and postcards will be shown that were created on the Mathildenhöhe between 1899 and 1914. Important posters from the art nouveau capitals Paris, Munich, and Vienna round off the selection. In the exhibition, the compositions and motifs of the posters, ranging from art nouveau to expressionism, will be decoded and presented in a multitude of variations and studies. For the first time ever, the economic relevance of the posters for the exhibitions on the Mathildenhöhe will be illuminated alongside other new findings contributing to the research on poster art around 1900.
Wineries. Modernisme + Cooperative movement at CaixaForum, Barcelona - from 6 July to 14 October 2012
This exhibition aims to offer certain keys to understanding the artistic value and architectural singularity of these cellars, also known as Art Nouveau cellars or Cathedrals of wine. It shows various ways of looking at these buildings and approaching them, taking as its central thread the architects (especially Cèsar Martinell, who designed over half of them) and the people who lived them and who still live them: the farmers who mortgaged themselves to push forward a collective project and today's Cooperative members who maintain the commitment and pride that made these architectural giants possible.
Exhibition Other Pedreres at La Pedrera in Barcelona - from 29 October 2012 to 24 February 2013
To celebrate the centenary of finishing works on Casa Milà, 1906-1912, popularly known as La Pedrera (The Quarry), which was the project of the architect Antonio Gaudi i Cornet, Fundacio CatalunyaCaixa is presenting « Other Pedreres ». This show looks at buildings erected in the same period as La Pedrera, which were also icons representing the best architecture worldwide. The exhibition aims to show the diverse trends in architectural and furnishing styles, as well as in the decorative and applied arts. Focussing primarily on Western Europe, in a tour of the most emblematic buildings by creators as significant and innovative as Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Joseph Hoffmann and Adolf Loos, it then leaps on the United States to present Frank Lloyd Wright's work.
Opening of the Klimt-Villa, Vienna - 30 September 2012
The Klimt-Villa will open its doors to visitors on 30 September 2012.
Exhibition Male Nudes at the Leopold Museum in Vienna - from 19 October 2012 to 4 March 2013
Power and Powerlessness through the Ages The endless flood of images intrinsic to today's lifestyle has given unprecedented public prominence to the depiction of male nudes. At the same time seemingly firmly established categories such as »masculinity«, »body« and »nakedness« are apparently being redefined on a broad social basis, resulting in a new interpretation of male gender roles. These developments have prompted the Leopold Museum to embark on a topical as well as historical journey through the visual arts in search of the male nude, a quest leading predominantly from the longing for antiquity prevalent in art around 1800 to contemporary art. This exhibition contains some work of Egon Schiele. More information
Art Nouveau Posters at Bathhouse 4, Sprudelhof in Bad Nauheim - from 1st to 23 September 2012
Jugendstilverein Bad Nauheim presents an exhibition "Plakatkunst des Jugendstils" - Art Nouveau Posters - from September 1st - 30, 2012 in bathhouse 4 of Sprudelhof in Bad Nauheim.
Jugendstilverein has chosen posters which had been designed by famous artists of the Belle Epoque era and which were mainly created to announce exhibitions of art. The presentation is completed by banners with detailed explanations.
It is a selection from the very beginning of printed posters in England until the Vienna Secession, i.e. 1893 - 1914. The images have been made available for reproduction by our partner cities of Réseau Art Nouveau Network; Jugendstilverein thanks them a lot to all.
With the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union

hello i'm noewbie here waiting for your comments and your pics
Awesome cock!
I think I'd prefer trimming instead of shaving though.
Nice cock!
Welcome to JUB. Great cock pics.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
you got a fat cock! i love it!
Terrific dick!!!!
Welcome to the site!
Thank you very much ! I'd like also to exchange in private . Does any of you want to share photos ?
i think you have a fine cock .. but you might need to overthink your "hairdo". while i generally don't like shaved cocks, i'd say if you want to shave, you should shave all. not just a bald patch above the penis with hair still on the balls and above the patch. or you just trim it or keep it like it is
Check out my very own Body Hair Lovers and Photography Groups!
Nice cock bro.
Great looking update.
Thank you for your comments, its a pleasure to share these pics
wow love an uncut cock
Wow, I can't believe that I missed this the first time.
Too bad the OP has already left...
Oh well, he left some really nice pics behind!
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
Don't worry about the pube trim, just keep showing hard!

A green tea a day may keep the doctor away!
Within Asian cultures like the Korean one I come from, green tea has played an important role in health and rituals for hundreds and thousands of years. In these places, it has been known that drinking a daily cup of green tea can have tremendous effects on your health, leading to a longer and healthier life. I drink green tea all day long. My favorite green tea is Jasmine Silver Pearls green tea from Foot Joy.
Not only does it help relax you and soothe away stress, but its healing properties may go a long way toward keeping the doctor away! You'll enjoy your next cup of green tea even more when I tell you about some of the benefits that come from each one:
Keeps the pounds down, and off. Green tea contains caffeine, which can help increase your body's basal metabolic rate. These higher rates help you burn more calories even when just breathing with a 'resting' heart rate. Increase your calorie burn at rest, and you'll find it easier to maintain – and even lose – weight. Who doesn't want that?
Freshen your mouth. Even as little as one cup of green tea daily can reduce plaque build-up and the amount of bacteria in your mouth. And the natural fluoride present in green tea also helps strengthen tooth enamel, giving you not just healthier teeth, but better-looking ones.
Fight off disease. Each cup of green tea – just like grapes, red wine and dark chocolate – is loaded with antioxidants, which fight against naturally occurring but harmful free radicals in your body. Studies have shown these free radicals can cause a number of afflictions, including certain types of cancer and heart disease. Because green tea is minimally processed with its leaves withered and steamed rather than fermented like other types of tea, its antioxidants are more concentrated.
Beauty aid in a cup. In addition to the health benefits you'll get from drinking green tea, it's also believed to play a beneficial role in other areas of health. All women want to look beautiful – and green tea is believed to help slow the aging process as well as improve acne. It can promote healthy digestion and decrease bowel issues. And it's also believed to help stabilize blood sugar levels in diabetics.

Hoppin' JohnLiving in the South for a few years, I have heard of this. Had no idea what it was! Looking at the recipe, I saw "salt pork" as an ingredient and I thought that it would be fun to try something with it. This may be another one no one will try, but maybe if I tell them (my kids) it's called "hoppin' john", they may be more inclined to try.

Routers and Switchers
Apr 5, 2013 1:43 PM, By Bennett Liles
The makers of modern routers and switchers seem to be on top of the challenge to make these devices increasingly feature-packed and control-system compatible, while at the same time expanding their ease of use. There is increasingly more going on behind the scenes in the chips with each model that enters the market, and the examples shown here demonstrate these trends.
The UT250-101 Under Table Matrix Switcher from Altinex is an 8x4 VGA computer video and audio matrix switcher that can direct and manage VGA video signals from multiple laptop computers and document cameras. The switcher provides eight VGA-UXGA computer video inputs and eight 3.5mm stereo inputs, and routes them to any of four outputs using its built-in, 16-button "Show Me" controller or RS-232 from a remote source such as the Altinex MultiTouch touchscreen panels. Any input can be switched to two or all four of the video outputs.
One of the more versatile presentation switchers from AMX is the Enova DVX-3155HD, which can function as a matrix switcher, scaler, A-to-D converter, twisted-pair transmitter, and amplifier with built-in audio processing. The unit can switch video in 10x4 and audio in 14x4 with the capability to send audio, video bi-directional control, and Ethernet up to 320ft. on one standard twisted-pair cable. It can accept RGBHV, component, S-Video, composite, HDMI/HDCP and DVI signals all on the same connector. Included is support for 3D and deep color.
Analog Way has recently introduced the Smart Matrix Ultra, a new multiscreen seamless switcher based on Analog Way's new LiveCore platform. It can accommodate a number of different input video formats including six HDMI, nine DVI-D, three DisplayPort, 12 3G-SDI, and 12 universal analog. The included SFP Cage on the outputs is compatible with a large range of SFP optical modules. Two of the units can be linked for adding and sharing of outputs and inputs. The SmartMatriX Ultra can be controlled directly from its front panel or using web remote control software.
The AT-PRO3HD44M HDMI 4x4 matrix switcher from Atlona extends HDMI from sources up to 230ft. over Cat-6a cables at 1080p and 1920x1200, or 197ft. with Cat-5e/6 cables. The unit allows control of up to eight devices through IR remote control, RS-232, third-party IR control boxes, and the front panel. It also has digital audio S/PDIF loop-outs that allow audio distribution to distant devices. S/PDIF output supports PCM two-channel, Dolby 2.0, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS 5.1 digital audio formats. Also featured are programmable EDID memory presets.
Audio Authority markets the ADX-1616 as a matrix switcher capable of routing multiple audio sources to multiple zones with custom 10-band EQ control per zone and a low pass filter for adding subwoofers to zones. A variety of third-party control systems can be used with the ADX Series audio switchers connecting through Ethernet, IR, and RS-232. The 2RU unit also provides zone grouping and source/zone combinations and it can be set up and controlled using a PC via Ethernet, USB, or a serial interface.
Aurora Multimedia now incorporates HDBaseT Cat I/O cards on its second-generation Digital Extreme Matrix (DMX) switchers. The DXM-3232-G2 offers 1080p 60Hz transmission over Cat cable up to 600ft., and the HDBaseT Tx/Rx modules are remotely powered by the DXM units over the Cat cable. There is a wide range of input cards to accommodate video signal formats including fiber, composite, component, 3G/HD/SD SDI, and HDMI. Also featured is auto EDID learning and management for simple setup and operation and switching can be completely controlled on RS-232.

My Singing Monsters
Fun, addictive, Free
I love this game. I read the bad reviews as well as (some of) the good ones before downloading this. When the first monster showed up and all it did was its drumming sounds, I understood that one reviewer who said the repetive sounds made it impossible for him to play. When the second monster came along, it didn't get much better for me to be honest. However, I stuck with it since so many people seemed to love this and from the 3rd monster and onward I've been absolutely hooked. It's amazing how an added monster can suddenly change out how the entire tune sounds! When you mute one of them, suddenly it again sounds totally different. And I visited the top island to see what it would sound like when you have all mobs - Just WOW!
A huge plus for me by the way: From what I can tell so far, this is NOT like the other Free To Play games out there - you don't actually have to spend money at all. You get EVERYTHING you can buy for gems for free as well. It just takes longer. At the beginning you may see the diamond prices for monsters and be put off, but you can breed every single one of those monsters, no need to spend money there. Besides, there are ways to gain some diamonds ingame, so you can save up incase you really want to speed up a breeding sometime ;)

Exciting fun!
It is such a fun game. Every morning I cannot wait to wake up and see what new monsters that I have and what they sound like on the islands. Then you open new islands and have new songs, it just is different all of the time! Excellent game, they are like your own little musical pets! Everyone in my family has their own monsters.

Lum tee dum****LA LA LA****lum tee dum****LA LA LA
After nearly four hours of playing this game and a few farthings poorer, I am ready to submit a review. I used to be an anxious, catastrophically thinking individual.....that is of course until I became immersed in the riveting, compelling odyssey that is; My Singing Monsters.
I do not mind spending money in the game to purchase my freedoms and liberties on Monster Island, I do this all the time in real life, why shouldn't I at least derive some fun out of structural functionalism within a capitalistic, albeit fantasy based realm?
I would much rather buy diamonds and pizza to feed my leaf creatures than pay for parking in downtown Los Angeles or spend $100 on a pair of underwear at whatever high end fashion outlet that is currently en vogue. Sigh.....
I approve highly of this game and recommend it, not only as a winsome past time, but as a panacea for generalized anxiety disorder.
Thank you Big Fish Games, I love you like my own over paid therapist. :)

9 year old's and mother's review
9 y/o : likes the monsters, music and the mini mine to get diamonds. Also likes that you can breed the monsters. This game has kept her entertained and she doesn't mind having to wait a while to get what she needs in the game.
Me, I would get a little bored, but the music is cute and calming. I enjoy watching her, but I need a little more challenge if I'm playing a game.

Really Cute Game
I love it!!! It's very whimsical and easy to play. I pop in and out of it several times a day.

Finally! MSM makes it to PC!
So awesome to see one of my favourite games on mobile finally make it to the PC! It's too bad we can't access our existing account (must be a different server), but that's understandable. Besides, I welcome the challenge of breeding all my monsters all over again! Rock on, MSM!

Cute and unique on building up your monster band
This is the most riveting and unusual game I've seen in a while :) The goal is simple, make your own monster band. Since I have been a musician for 30+ years, this is right up my alley. Each monster has it's own musical part. drums, singing, other percussion parts and so on. Put them all together and you get a really big jam session. :) You can buy diamonds to help speed things up or you can save your hard earned money and just buy the mini-mine with gold. There are other islands with different songs but I haven't gotten that far yet. It took me two hours just to pry myself away from this game when I first played. You can breed monsters to try to get monsters that were only available to buy with diamonds. lots of goals to achieve as in most FTP games. the monsters are cute and the art is well done. the music can get a little annoying if you listen to it for an hour but all in all, I didn't mind because I was looking forward to the next monster musical part to hear what it sounds like.
This is the best FTP game so far.

Very Cute
I enjoy this game. It's different and a little slow paced. There is no hurry, hurry, or rushing, I like that.
September 6, 2013
sooooooo cuuuuuutte
OMG...i loved playing this game on my ipod, was up high in the levels.... had 3 islands, 5 bakeries on each island and i think 1 gem mine on each island plus many many monsters on each lol. i love being able to breed and see which monster i get and the sounds, so funny, u can mute monsters and have only certain ones sing, its funny to see which sounds u can make between monsters, yes it s a simple game but its relaxing and funny, and the monsters are sooooooo cute, my daughter (10 yr old) and i would breed and compete to see which monsters we could breed better and which songs or harmonies were better....i only deleted it because i ran out of room on my ipod for music and some games had to go :( and unfortunately this was one of a few that went...do u have to spend real money on the game? no not really just enjoy the game and wat it has to offer in terms of playing... the simplicity of breeding different monsters to see wat u get and wat sounds or harmonies they make together. they're all different. i miss this game. so glad big fish has brought it out.... it takes a little while to build things up but when u do the game starts to flow alot easier.... i used to play it when i had a coffee at morning tea and arvo tea at work and it was that little bit of fun at work that would make me smile... through its simplicity and also the funny looking monsters....and no its not for everyone but its a sweet fun game u can always come back too...

Love it. Playing for 3 months on Android.
I was so shocked to see this out for PC. We just got the first anniversary party update on Android and a new island, so I should have expected it.
This is a fun little world-building game. I have not spent one red cent on it, and I have 4 islands and 4 mini mines. I just play it with my breakfast cereal, then let things happen while I work, then check on stuff when I get home and before I go to bed. Takes less than 10 minutes each time.
It does take a while to get started. I had to babysit the first island for an hour or so an evening for the first week or so to get the money rolling in and figure out how to do things. But that's OK--it's when you're most excited about a game like this anyway.
As for challenge, well just try breeding an Ethereal Monster. You have a 1/500 chance of getting one. And getting monsters fed up to level 15 so you can put them on Gold Island to hear all monsters together can take months. Thank goodness there are all kinds of ways to earn diamonds and gold without money if you just have a bit of patience.
This game reminds me of Symphony in One Movement, because each monster makes a noise and you only really hear the song when you get them all together. It's cute and fun. Try it if you like world-building games. You'll like it.
