Sofia Margarita Vergara hot naked
Sofía was born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her mother, Margarita, is a housewife. Her father, Julio, provides cattle to the meat industry. She has 5 siblings.
She was educated at a private bilingual Spanish/English school. She then went on to study pre-Dentistry at Colombia University. However, Sofía was discovered by a photographer, whilst at the beach, and this led to various jobs in modeling and television. At age 23, she was a runway model. From 1995 to 1998, she co-hosted a travel show, "Fuera de serie" (1995), which gave her exposure in the United States.
Her first film role was Big Trouble (2002). Her breakthrough role was as "Gloria Delgado-Pritchett" in the American TV series, "Modern Family" (2009). In 2011, she received an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series" for this role.
Sofía resides in Los Angeles with her son, Manolo.
Sofia Margarita Vergara was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, and as a child her future status as a global sex symbol was no more than a distant fairytale. Raised as a devout Catholic, Vergara was married when she was only 18, and had her first and only son just one year later. All this while Vergara was studying dentistry, and with just one year left in her schooling, was discovered by a photographer on a Columbian beach. Soon, modeling opportunities presented themselves, with Vergara appearing in commercials to help support her family, despite being in constant conflict with her religious beliefs.
Loeb began arguing with the 'Modern Family' star in front of revelers at new Miami club Story, where they were being hosted by nightlife king Chris Paciello, whom Vergara dated in the late '90s.
Witnesses told The Post that Loeb later got into a dispute with a group at a nearby table. A scuffle started, and security grabbed him and threw him out of the club's back door with Vergara following behind.
"Nick seemed tense around Chris, who was hosting them in the VIP section, even though he and Sofia are just friends," a witness told The Post. "In the early hours, Nick and Sofia were arguing before he got into a dispute with somebody at a neighboring table.
Vergara had been widely known for co-hosting two television shows for Univisión in the late 1990s. Her television career opened up for her a window of exposure to North American audiences prior to her first notable acting job in English, the 2003 film Chasing Papi. Subsequently, she appeared in films, including two Tyler Perry films, Meet the Browns

Automatic Rice Cooker
Conquer a variety of culinary endeavors with help from Panasonic's automatic rice cooker. Create light, fluffy, restaurant-quality rice--perfect for side dishes or stir-fries. Or make sticky rice for rolling sushi, Spanish rice for enchilada night, or hearty wild rice to add to a tossed green salad--or even creamy rice pudding with cinnamon sprinkled on top for dessert. The small electric appliance takes care of cooking the rice, so that busy moms and dads can focus on getting the rest of the meal prepared and on the table.
One-touch operation, plus indicator lights. (Model SR-G10G shown.) Cook up to 20 Cups of Rice
Panasonic's automatic rice cookers come in four useful sizes. Choose from a 3-cup, 6-cup, 10-cup, or 20-cup cooked-rice capacity--great for single people and small families or for larger-size families or for those who love to entertain.
Nonstick removable inner pan
for effortless food release and quick cleanup.
(Select models. Model SR-G06FG shown.)
See-through tempered glass lid for safe, easy monitoring. (Model SR-G10G shown.)Novice or pro--any home chef will appreciate the convenience of having a little extra help in the kitchen. Simply add rice to the cooker, pour in the measured amount of water, secure the lid, and press the lever to start cooking--it takes care of the rest. The rice cooker's inner aluminum cooking pan heats quickly for fast, even heating, while its glass lid traps in heat, moisture, and nutrients, plus allows for at-a-glance monitoring (no need to remove the lid).
When cleaning the rice before cooking, do not wash the rice in the cooker pan. For best results, it is recommended that a separate pan be used for cleaning the rice.
One-Step Automatic Cooking
The rice cooker automatically cooks the rice for the correct amount of time, then shuts off automatically for excellent results. Even more, the 10-cup and 20-cup units automatically switch over to a Keep Warm mode, which keeps the rice hot and delicious--and ready to serve--for up to four hours, without over-cooking. A nonstick coating on the removable inner cooking pan (most models) helps prevent cooked rice from sticking to the sides and the bottom and makes cleanup a snap.
Rice scoop, steam basket, and measuring cup included. (Select models. See chart for details.) Other highlights include a handy "cooking" indicator light, stay-cool lid and side handles for safe transport, secure feet to keep the cooker raised up above countertop surfaces, and a sleek, modern design that will be sure to compliment any kitchen decor.
A measuring cup comes included, as well as a rice scoop (all sizes, except for the 10-cup cooker), and a steaming basket (20-cup cooker only) for steaming seafood or fresh vegetables while simultaneously cooking rice. Leave the rice cooker out for easy access throughout the week or store it compactly away between uses. A welcome addition to any busy kitchen, Panasonic's line of automatic rice cookers make a great gift idea and carry a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

I have sparkler radishes growing currently (a smaller container friendlyvariety) and this is my first time attempting to grow underground veggies!
I am wondering how to tell when radishes are OK to be "harvested"? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I grow tons of radishes, planting 24 per week, so I have a constant supply. I usually keep track of how many days to maturity, and when that time rolls around, use your finger to shove the dirt around the base to the side a bit, to get a look at the diamter of the top of the bulb. You're looking for an inch or so, give or take. Remember though, if you pick them too early, they are still excellent, but if you wait to long, they get woody tasting and hot, and some will crack. I hope yours turn out great, and next year, you can try growing them un succession to you have a constant supply. Note though that they are a cool season crop, and long, hot summer days don't provide the best results. You will beable to plant plenty more yet this fall. Joe |
- Posted by kissingfrgos2003 6 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 22, 11 at 11:30
Joe- How do I know when to start digging around and feeling diameters? I don't want to disturb root systems and such unneccessarily :) |
If the seeds were planted correctly, about 1/2" deep, usually the red tops will start to show. Otherwise, just dust away some of the soil around the base of the leaf stalks. You don't need to go deep at all, so you won't disturb the roots. Be mindful of when you plant(ed) them, to the day, because they are quick growers. Also, do not leave the greens attached, cut them off immediately when you harvest, or the radish will shrivel. If you can't see the red tops, or you can't find them immediately below the surface, they aren't ready. Also, if you grow a spring variety, which don't like heat, in the hot summer weather, the roots may not develope correctly. I planted some 2 weeks ago, when the temps dropped to the low to mid 70's, but, unfrotunately, it has hit the low 80's a few times, which is not good. Radishes need to stay below 80 for sure. Joe |
When I lived on the coast of California on the Monterrey bay I had a customer known as the Radish King. With 200 acres right on the beach he planted 10 acres of radish every 3 weeks. They were planted in almost pure sand, and with the summer ocean fog he harvested year around. Al |

Thanks Joe. I just had the yen to grow radishes for me and my co workers. Actually they just came up today and I am still pretty excited. I bought 3 different types of seeds and plan on starting some more every week or two. Thank you for the advice. I was stationed at Fort Ord, lol few years back (1982). I loved the Monterey area. I can see it in my minds eye. And the pier. Feed the sea lions. Cannery Row. It is probably so different now with the Aquarium. Thanks for the memories. |

Silica Gel
Name: Lisa Status: educator Grade: 9-12 Location: Outside U.S. Country: USA Date: Fall 2011
Can you tell me how silica gel is correctly categorized (I see it called narrow or large pore as well as Type A, B and C)? What is the difference? Are they all used the same way, as a desiccant?
Hi Lisa,
The "A", "B" and "C" designations of silica gel refer to the pore size. The "A" type has large numbers of very small pores, and is generally used as a desiccant. Water vapor is adsorbed into these pores, or water vapor already adsorbed, is released upon heating. This is the type normally found in small bags packed in electronic and optical products.
The "C" type has somewhat fewer (but still very large numbers) large pores. This type is used for large volumes of liquid water absorption, commonly as cat litter.
The "B" type has pore sizes that are smaller than the "C" type, but still larger than the "A" type. It is also used a liquid absorber.
Each of the three types is chemically identical, but pore size is optimized for the use to which they are put.

09/10/14Growing Gwinnett's Newest CityPeachtree Corners, Gwinnett County's newest city (incorporated in 2012) is creating a central business district. Last night, Sept. 8, local leaders invited residents and the business community to an open house to add their two cents on this new area that will also serve as the heart of the city. Citizens were asked to weigh in on issues including redeveloping aging strip malls, incorporating walking and biking paths into the new district, and creating safe ways for pedestrians to cross Peachtree Parkway. The open house was part of the Livable Cities Initiative study Peachtree Corners started in the spring thanks in large part to a $96,000 grant from the Atlanta Regional Commission.

09/05/14Share your vision for a better Metro AtlantaThe Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) recently reported that Atlanta grew by 52,700 people between April 1, 2013 and April 1, 2014, a sign that the growth that once overwhelmed the 10-county metro region is returning. All of the counties in the region experienced growth, with Gwinnett, Fulton and Cobb taking the top three spots. "Because the Atlanta region is an attractive place for employers and employees, we tend to attract people from all over the country, creating more in-migration than out-migration," says Mike Alexander, manager of ARC's Research & Analytics Division.

The New Porn Everyone Is Sharing On Facebook – Deborah Tan
Over the weekend, something drove me crazy.
Nope. It wasn't the fact that the boyfriend booked himself a 10-day holiday to Koh Samui without me.
Nope. It wasn't the fact that three out of three of the petrol stations that I had checked out had no Cosmo on display (yes, I can be quite fanatical).
And nope, it wasn't because someone was of the opinion that women aren't interested in zombies.
It was the proliferation of insanely cute animal pictures on my Facebook wall.
Seriously, what happened? Why are there puppies, kittens, hedgehogs and rabbits asking me to Like their photos? Isn't it enough that my friends are asking me to Like their holiday pictures and their babies' mugshots? Why am I now confronted with animals asking me to "Like this picture if you think I'm cute"?!?!?
What am I talking about?
Look at these pictures:
1. Cat dressed in a ridiculous costume
2. Cat with a ridiculously grumpy face
3. Cat executing ridiculous yoga pose
I call these pictures "animal porn".
Now, don't you go Google "animal porn" just yet. Trust me, the type of sites and images you'll find WILL NOT be exactly suitable for ANYONE. I personally call these cute animal pictures "animal porn" because it seems to make a lot of women happy – even happier than if they had just had a multiple orgasm. There's something about these pictures that sends the serotonin levels shooting through the roof!
[Relevant: Meet Cosmo's resident animal-lover here!]
So I've gone and done a bit of research. Apparently, this obsession with cute is as ancient as our human nature. Ethologist Konrad Lorenz proposed in the 1940s that we naturally want to care for any small, vulnerable creature. Lorenz suggested that infantile characteristics — big head, big eyes, the very round face — stimulate caretaking behaviour. It also explains why "cute girls with anime makeup and dressing" drive men crazy. It also explains why "big eyes" and a "high voice" make women more attractive to men. It also explains why women go gaga over adorable babies.
Cuteness helps us forget about the unhappiness we experience in our daily lives. Grown-ups with problems at work, kids who are stressed with school, retirees with little entertainment options … all sorts. People simply love cute. And, nothing is cuter than kittens, puppies and bunnies doing ridiculous things wearing ridiculous clothes. Oohing and aahing over photographs is definitely less expensive than actually having a pet, right?
In case you are wondering if there is a reason why my three examples above all involved cats, let me reveal something to you.
Back in the 1870s, English photographer Henry Pointer started shooting pictures of cats mimicking human activities. In his career shooting animals, he found that while rabbits were the easiest to shoot in costumes, they were unable to assume human-like poses. Puppies required a fair amount of coaxing and you needed to understand how to work with them. They were also most easily distracted. He therefore concluded that kittens were the "most versatile actors".
In a quick search of "cute animal pictures", I found that there are a disproportionately higher number of cats' photos than those of other animals. I guess this is why in the movie franchise Cats & Dogs, it was the cats who played the villains.
Now, before you amateur photographers go and attempt to get a kitten to pose for you, I would like to just take this opportunity to say that photos like these may have caused these animals a fair degree of discomfort and pain. So it's best to leave such projects to the professionals and people are have been trained to handle animals for photoshoots. The best way to enjoy these cute pictures would be to just look at them online.
Oh, and try not to share them on Facebook please?

Clinical Trial Results - Progress in Cancer Care
These summaries highlight recently released results from cancer clinical trials. The findings are significant enough that they are likely to influence your medical care.
The summaries are listed in reverse chronological order. You may also use the navigation tools on the left to search the summaries by keyword or type of cancer.
- Two Drugs that Hit One Target Improve Survival in Women with Metastatic Breast Cancer
(Updated: 10/01/2014) - Combining two drugs that target the HER2 protein, trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and pertuzumab, with chemotherapy is a new treatment option for women with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, according to final results from a large clinical trial. - Enzalutamide Improves Survival in Patients with Metastatic Prostate Cancer
(Posted: 06/27/2014) - In an international randomized phase III clinical trial, the hormone therapy enzalutamide (Xtandi®) extended survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer that had progressed during treatment with androgen deprivation therapy. Participants in the trial had not received chemotherapy. - Ibrutinib Improves Survival Compared with Ofatumumab in Patients with Previously Treated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
(Posted: 06/27/2014) - In an international randomized phase III clinical trial, patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who were treated with ibrutinib (Imbruvica®) lived longer without their disease getting worse than patients who received ofatumumab (Arzerra®). Patients who received ibrutinib also lived longer and were more likely to show a clinical response to treatment than those who received ofatumumab. - New treatment option for young women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer
(Posted: 06/01/2014) - A drug used for treating breast cancer, known as exemestane, is more effective than a common breast cancer prevention drug, tamoxifen, in preventing breast cancer recurrence in young women who also receive post-surgical treatment to suppress ovarian function. The combined results of the Tamoxifen and Exemestane Trial and Suppression of Ovarian Function Trial were presented at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago. - NIH-funded study shows increased survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer who receive chemotherapy when starting hormone therapy
(Posted: 12/05/2013, Updated: 06/01/2014) - Men with hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer who received the chemotherapy drug docetaxel given at the start of standard hormone therapy lived longer than patients who received hormone therapy alone, according to early results from a NIH-supported randomized controlled clinical trial.

Sensitive Skin Triple Action Pads are advertised as being alcohol-free, and that's great. However, although these pads do not contain alcohol, they are still terrible for sensitive skin because they contain menthol and an essentially ineffective amount of salicylic acid.
Sensitive Skin Pad's formula contains skin soothers, including aloe, to clean your skin gently. The pads are recommended for cases of mild to moderate acne on skin that is dry or easily irritated. Work's to treat and help prevent pimples. Alcohol Free!
Active: Salicylic Acid (0.5%), Other: Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Xylenesulfonate, Citric Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Witch Hazel Extract, Menthol, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Purified Water, Simethicone, Sodium Borate, Tetrasodium EDTA,
Long a drugstore staple in the anti-acne section of skin-care products, Stridex, like so many lines aimed at blemish-prone skin, has yet to offer an effective range of products. None of the options with salicylic acid are advisable due to the presence of needless irritants, and the cleansers share the same problem. The only bright spot is that Stridex offers two benzoyl peroxide products. They both include 2.5% as an active ingredient, an amount many will find successful, and these are effective, irritant-free, and affordable. Otherwise, this line is seemingly convinced that the path to clear skin involves lots of menthol. If menthol were an anti-acne ally, this line would be a slam-dunk—but it isn't. There isn't a shred of research showing menthol has any benefit for skin, for blemishes or for any skin type. Using these products with their injurious irritants will only hinder skin's healing process and worsen the inflammation seen in most cases of acne.

In a bid to update its successful Gallardo supercar, Lamborghini has given the World a sneak peak of its newest offering the Huracan 610-4.
Keeping with its tradition of naming its vehicles for famous bulls, the Huracan has been given the moniker of a creature that fought Spanish arenas in 1879. While the original Huracan has long since passed its new incarnation is set for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2014.
Sporting a 600+HP engine, the Huracan is purportedly capable of reaching top speeds in excess of 322km/h (200 mph), and jetting from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.2 seconds.
While the Huracan will borrow much from its legendary predecessor, the new car will feature state of the art improvements to both its interior and exterior. Most notable will be the Huracan's stiffer aluminum and carbon fiber chassis.
Given that the Huracan is still months away from its official debut concrete details about the car's performance and cost are hard to nail down. However, with the MSRP for a 2013 Laborghini Gallardo being pegged at $181,900 I can only imagine the Huracan will surpass that mark.

It was in the mazelike bazaars of Kalbadevi that I encountered the American. Veiled by smoke from street-stall frying pans, trailed by an enormous cow, he swam toward me through the crowd: drenched in sweat, wide-eyed, and lost. Bombay will do that to you.
"Maybe you can help me," he said, catching his breath. "I'm trying to get back to the tourist area?" A strange request, considering that this marketplace is a tourist area, inasmuch as Bombay has one. But he had something less frenetic in mind—perhaps with air-conditioning. I pointed the way out, and off he retreated to his hotel. Another shell-shocked initiate on his first tour of duty.
The crowds and chaos of Bombay can bewilder even the savviest of travelers (by 2015, this is projected to be the world's most populous city), but settle into its rhythms and you'll soon be won over. Bombay is India at its most contradictory: aggressively modern, yet in parts verging on medieval; glamorous, yet rough-edged; dazzlingly cosmopolitan, yet quintessentially Indian. I've traveled from Goa to the Himalayas, and I've never felt the same romantic charge that I get from Bombay. I try to return as often as I do to Paris or London, and with each visit, it seems more like both: a well that grows deeper as you draw from it.
Incidentally, the next time I saw the American—a week later, strolling along the waterfront—he had the beatific look of a convert. When I caught his eye, he flashed a grin that said, Now I get it.
"Bombay is not about 'sights' in the traditional sense," says my friend Rashida Anees, a tour director and lifelong resident.
"It's about experiences." Here, 20 things that make this one of the world's most seductive cities.
(1) Those wild, evocative names Malabar Hill. The Hanging Gardens. The Queen's Necklace. Elephanta Island. Juhu Beach. Language practically springs from the ground in Bombay. Five major tongues (English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Urdu) and countless dialects intermingle with crazy results, so that certain place-names no longer mean anything, they just sound good. (Breach Candy?)
The British, who built an empire on lousy pronunciation, outdid themselves in Bombay. Some say that the seaside promenade outside the Taj Mahal hotel was named for a type of fish (palau) and the local word for "quay" (bunda), which the colonials turned into Apollo Bunder. Like so many imperial ventures, it implies a colossal mistake: a blunder of the gods.
Bombay itself has disputable origins. Is it a variation on the goddess Mumba?Or an anglicization of the Portuguese buan bahia ("good bay")?Whatever the answer, Hindu fundamentalists cast off the colonial moniker in 1996 and renamed the city Mumbai. This struck some as a spectacularly bad marketing move ("as if McDonald's had renamed itself Kroc's in honor of its inventor," wrote the author Shashi Tharoor). In any case, most English-speaking Indians still use Bombay.
(2) The view across the Oval Maidan Squint and you could be in Westminster. No, scratch that: Venice Beach. Maybe Kathmandu?The Fort district—erstwhile bastion of the raj, and now the main business area—is a palimpsest of India's myriad histories, a dizzying mix of visual and architectural references. They neatly converge around the Oval Maidan, the sweeping sun-drenched green where there's always a cricket match in progress. On one side lies the Eros Cinema, a 1938 landmark with Art Deco motifs and carvings of half-naked nymphs. Across the lawn is the High Court building, a stern English-Gothic monstrosity surrounded by coconut palms—looking as out of place as, well, a palm tree in Knightsbridge. Beyond the court rises Rajabai Tower, which began as an homage to Florence's Campanile and ended up a bizarre take on Big Ben. Into the scene roars a red double-decker Routemaster bus, its rear platform sagging with too many passengers. Its brakes suddenly squeal as it stops for an ox, draped in garlands of jasmine, lumbering by without a flinch.
(3) A day at the beach "The first thing I do when I go back," says the New York—based actress and cookbook author Madhur Jaffrey, "is head for Chowpatty Beach, order a coconut, stick in a straw, and drink. Then I know I'm home."
Surfside coconut vendors are not as plentiful as they once were, when Chowpatty was Bombay's answer to Coney Island. On this crescent of sand on Back Bay, in the heart of the city, children would ride tiny, hand-cranked Ferris wheels and families would cluster at stalls selling bhelpuri (puffed rice, fried noodles, and vegetables in a mint, chili, and tamarind sauce), while malish wallahs (masseurs) offered mustard-oil rubdowns on the beach.
Over the past few years, however, conservative officials began a cleanup at Chowpatty, forcing out most of the rides and snack vendors. It's a relatively sedate scene today. Still, some find more covert forms of amusement. Young couples steal off to Chowpatty on their lunch hour to rent tentlike shelters on the beach, under which they, as one newspaper put it, "let their love blossom." (Authorities were shocked—shocked!—to learn of this unsettling trend, and promised to crack down immediately.)
(4) The back streets of Colaba A once-seedy port area named for the founding community of Koli fishermen, Colaba is now mainly a commercial district whose avenues are filled with wallahs (peddlers) of some product or another. Walk down busy Colaba Causeway and you'll be shadowed by tobacco wallahs and fruit wallahs, hash wallahs and bongo wallahs, money-changers and life-changers. But just beyond the causeway, Colaba's quiet residential streets are the closest thing to peace you'll find in central Bombay. Ancient banyan vines hang over grand mansions built by the British. With their splendid wooden galleries and half-crumbling walls, the houses make the area look uncannily like Savannah.
Many of these mansions are protected landmarks, so the exteriors cannot, technically, be altered. But local architects always find a way around building codes—witness the modern high-rise that literally shoots out the top of one (still intact) villa. Apparently, the law didn't say anything about the roof.
(5) Shankar's bookstall Where else in the world can you find a trove of great literature laid out on the sidewalk?Forget the bouquinistes along the Seine—those guys are jerks, and besides, their books are in French. The book wallahs working at Shankar's stall, outside Café Mondegar in Colaba, are chatty and amicable, and the selection is absurdly vast: a dozen editions of the Kama Sutra; comic-book versions of the Mahabharata myths; Plato, Descartes, and Calvin & Hobbes; and every major South Asian writer, from Narayan to Rushdie. I don't expect to need a copy of Vedic Mathematics by Jagadguru Swami Sri Maharaja, but I know where I can get one for a buck.

Best Of 2012: Lane's Top 30 Releases Of The Year
This year has been more than gracious to my ears. I was fond of so many releases in 2012 that it was like pulling teeth trying to narrow this list down to JUST thirty. Since albums have the tendency to grow on me, this list was compiled without review ratings in mind, if I had a chance to review them that is. These thirty albums are the records that I continued to revisit throughout the year and have yet to stop jamming. These are the records that are still fresh and exciting upon the umpteenth listen. Without further adieu, these are my favorite albums of the year.
Review: GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR-"Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!"
By Lane Oliver
It has been ten years since the highly influential Godspeed You! Black Emperor released a full length. The Canadian instrumental rock giants left us in 2002 with the towering Yanqui U.X.O. and have since been relatively quiet. Godspeed announced a Fall tour this year (of which I was lucky enough to attend) and silently released their first new record in a decade at their Boston show on October 1st. 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! is a fifty three minute tour de force that shows Godspeed in top notch form. This record combines the familiar with the new and ultimately crafts an unforgettable listening experience; one that will still sound fresh in the years to come.
Allelujah! Don't Wait! Stream!: Stream GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR's New Album
Godspeed You! Black Emperor secretly released their new album in almost a decade, Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!, secretly a few days ago with an official release date of October 15th in Europe and 16th everywhere else. When I heard the news I began to writhe in excitement. For those who cannot wait or for those unfortunate enough to attend one of their shows to pick up a copy, someone has upload the fifty minute album to YouTube. The track listing for the effort is as follows:
GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR Announce New Album
Out of the blue the legendary Canadian post-rock outfit, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, have announced the release of their first new record in over a decade. The record is entitled ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND! and will be released on October 16th via Constellation Records. But according to a fan blog the band is already selling copies on their current tour. I am a huge fan of this band and I will be seeing them perform on the 11th so you can guarantee I will pick this bad boy up. If you haven't seem them, check out the dates below:
GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR Announce Fall Tour
The legendary Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced a Fall US tour following their appearances at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago and the All Tomorrow's Parties Festival in Asbury Park, NJ. I am a HUGE GY!BE fan and you can count on me being at one of the THREE Texas shows. You better get your ass to one of these shows if you want your mind blown.
Band Spotlight: Heinali and Matt Finney
I received an e-mail today from a man named Matt Finney. He is a spoken word artist from Alabama who collaborates with a Ukrainian composer by the name of Heinali. The two met through a mutual friend and began making music together. At first, I was skeptical on how I would feel about this, as I am usually not a fan of spoken word projects. After listening to their new EP on the BandCamp page, however, I was quickly intrigued. The music is, as best as I can describe it, God Speed You! Black Emperor addicted to doom metal. If that description doesn't make you want to listen to them, then I don't know what will. The music is definitely unique in it's execution. Go to their BandCamp page and purchase their newest EP, Conjoined for the cheap price of name your own price.

get_them_ducats.pl: RSS parsing and screen-scraping, poorly.
Since I moved to New York, I've found myself facing an extra hour and a half a day on the train, with nothing to do but wish I had a seat or could afford a closer apartment.
It's left me scrambling for things to listen to, or to read. So I've done two things. One, I started downloading and listening to podcasts - they require too much of my attention to listen to during work, and generally don't hold up against the myriad distractions of home, but episodes of This American Life and Scientific American's Science Talk podcasts are perfect for the train.
The other thing, which I'll go into an absurd level of detail about in a minute here, has been to dust off of the old Sony eReader that I thought was going to be so important and ended up sitting on my desk for months on end unless I was going to be on an plane.
The trouble with the Reader, and I don't think I'm overstating things to say that this is the problem with all portable media devices, is that it lives and dies by the content that you can get on it. The iPod thrives off of the iTunes store and people's MP3 libraries. Amazon is trying to do the same with the Kindle, though I honestly think it's a losing plan, for a number of reasons.
The Sony reader, then, by that standard, failed horribly, at least out of the box. The store it connected to had a small selection of overpriced books, and RSS support, which was pretty much why I wanted the thing, sucked. Hard. Through a combination of programs that other people wrote, I managed to get RSS feeds converted to PDFs that were readable on the umm, reader.
This time, I decided to do things differently. Becki's got me reading New York Magazine, and it occurred to me that what I really wanted wasn't 30 snarky Gawker line-items to read on the train, but one or two longer, in-depth pieces.
So what I did was throw together a perl script (get_them_ducats.pl, because I should never be allowed to name anything, ever) to make this a little easier.
I'll warn you now, this is long and exceptionally dry, so I'm hiding it behind the jump.
…a perl script with the goal of doing two things.
First, to pull RSS feeds for sites I like, and convert them to text files, because sometimes I do actually want to read 30 snarky Gawker posts on my way to work. This is easy, and very much something the publisher had in mind. No problem there - Perl's XML::Simple library is a fine enough parser for our purposes. All you need to do is, well, this:
Note that I've cropped out "use" statements and variable declarations - this is long enough already. And that write_to_file is just a wrapper I wrote around calls to the standard open/print/close methods, with error handling and a couple of other things to generate pretty file names, and that strip_html is just a couple of regular expresssions to grep out the html, because the Sony reader doesn't deal so well with that. strip_html will also compress whitespace, because page turns are slow and a bit jarring on this thing, and so I don't really want to display the 50 linebreaks that might be in someone's HTML between every paragraph.
# Just as a quick and dirty example, we'll use this set: # I love you, Gawker media, and I love your URLs. foreach(qw{gizmodo gawker idolator io9 kotaku deadspin consumerist lifehacker jezebel}){ $feeds{ucfirst($_)} = "http://feeds.gawker.com/$_/full"; }; foreach my $name (keys %feeds){ print "Processing $name RSS feed..."; write_to_file($name.'.txt', process_rss_file(get $feeds{$name})); } sub process_rss_file { my $raw = shift; my $xml = new XML::Simple; my $data; my $rv; eval { $data = $xml->XMLin($raw); }; die $@ if $@; die "FAILGET: Nothing returned" if !$data; foreach(@{$data->{channel}->{item}}){ $rv .= "nn".uc($_->{title})."nn"; if($_->{'content:encoded'}){ $rv .= strip_html($_->{'content:encoded'}); } else { $rv .= strip_html($_->{description}); } } return $rv; }
This deals with "content:encoded" versus "description", and the eval block around the XMLin call is because Simple XML dies a horrible gurgling death if it finds a malformed XML file. I know I call die if that happens anyway, but at least this way, if I decide to deal with it better in the future, the groundwork is already there.
The second goal is the slightly less kosher one, and thus I'm not posting too much code for that part of the project. I wanted to go on magazine websites and yank all the features, then separate the content from the markup and (from this perspective) cruft, and again, convert that into a text file. This is the interesting bit, from a programming standpoint, and it might be something of an ethical gray area, as well (I'm not very well going to copy the banner ads, am I? And it's not like the script is generating ad impressions).
It's essentially non-consensual syndication, though we're not republishing anything (At least I'm not, and hopefully you aren't either), which may or may not work out to theft, if you're feeling alarmist, or intellectual property infringement if you're being a little more accurate. I'm still not totally sure how socially or legally reprehensible the practice is, but I can pretty much guarantee you that it's against the terms and conditions of the sites we're talking about, and that's enough reason not to do it. The more I think about it, in fact, the more I think that I'll just stick to nice, legit, RSS, and really only develop the screen-scraper as a curiosity and to prove that I can. It's less about ripping 50 sites to text, and more about seeing how elegantly one can rip 2 or 3.
OK, that's the end of my lecture on why you and I should be finding other hobbies.
Still, it's an interesting problem to solve, because it comes largely down to social engineering and observation, rather than trying to brute force anything, and much of it has to be on site-by-site basis. Unless you find a bunch of people using the same CMS, you're probably going to have to rewrite chunks of code for each individual site, or do something dastardly and clever. More on that later.
Well, it comes down to that, and regular expressions, which is largely why I used perl and not PHP (Zing!).
It's worth noting that the reliance on regexes or HTML parsers here has less to do with the fact that it's easier or more efficient, and more to do with the fact that HTML parsers don't always work - I've seen too many of them puke on invalid files, or return oddball structures that just aren't easily parsable. Plus, regular expressions, in just the last couple of years, have gone from a largely unknown construct that I was terrible with, to one of my go-to solutions.
So, first things first. Look at the site you're planning to scrape. Look, in particular, at the URLs. Odds are, there's a page with a table of contents. This probably has a list of recent features, book reviews, some junk we don't want, whatever. Suppose then, that this is located here:
The other thing is that your starting point can actually be an RSS feed. Sites that don't offer full-content feeds generally still have one with short teasers and links back to the actual article pages, which is exactly what we were going to grab from the table of contents in the first place.
So, we've got our starting point, and this is where things get interesting. What we have to do now is find out where in that page are the base URLs of the articles we want to be reading on the train.
Suppose want this: http://example.com/magazine/features/12345
And this: http://example.com/magazine/features/5678
But not this: http://example.com/magazine/news/21046
Or this: http://example.com/magazine/boring/to/you
So our pattern (escaped), would be:
..and that's how we know what to grab.View source on this, by the way - you'll have to pattern match based whether they're relative or absolute links, and there's no way outside of the raw source to tell for sure if they are, since the browser bangs the domain name onto relative links. And don't get greedy - I know people who have gotten IP-blocked from Slashdot for trying to use a scraper (though I can assure you that their's were better-written and geared towards more useful ends) on an entire domain. The whole point of this exercise is to stay under the radar and not be a colossal prick about leeching content you aren't paying for.
It's worth pointing out that you can easily do the same if a site uses titles or something, instead of numerical IDs, in the links, but the regex is obviously going to be different.
The next obvious step is to find each of those example.com/features/blah links, and download the source. But there's a trick here, that I wish worked more often. Remember, we're yanking the full-page HTML to text here, so you're yanking a lot of bytes that are just going to get binned.
Try the print version first.
More often than not, the print version is a JavaScript link, and it uses the same HTML, with a print CSS file that your script doesn't care about, and can't see (because we're dealing with the source code, not the view). But sometimes you get lucky, and it's something obvious:
or http://example.com/magazine/features/12345?view=print
Whatever it is, check a page for the print view, and maybe you'll get lucky. The other nice thing about printable views is that the good CMSes will concatenate all the pages of the article, because it makes it a bit easier on the person doing the printing, but which also makes it a bit easier on us. Again, you're using good web design principles to your own nefarious ends.
Odds are you aren't going to be able to do that, though, at least in my limited experience messing with this. So what you have to do is look for the pagination links. And this is tricky, more so than the previous bits. There are a couple of ways to handle pagination, and (again) you won't know how your target site does until you look at it.
If there are just "next page" and "previous page" links, you can use those. Fetch and process a page, and while there's a "next" link, grab and process that. If there isn't, or you don't have a solid way of finding it via regex (maybe it's not classed seperately, or something).
The generalized solution, then, is to find something like this:
Or maybe it's:
Whatever it is, you'll have to do the legwork to find it, and then you're set. You can iterate over those pages until you get one that isn't found. This isn't terribly efficient, by the way. Every story you pull on every site could have to wait for a timeout after the last page, before the script knows to stop and go on to the next article - and if it's redirecting to a 404 page, you have to test against that. But it's a more generalized solution than to code for site-by-site pagination links. The final decision on that, I leave to the reader, but I'm perfectly OK with putting in the up-front work, to avoid constantly trying to open URLs that don't exist. Remember, it's not your bandwidth, so try to tread lightly.
Keep track of whether a URL has already been fetched, as well - in the case of the same link being on a table of contents twice, multiple next/previous links, article subnavs, etc.
The actual page processing, stripping the content we want from the things we don't (navigation links, headers, footers, images), is again done by regular expression, and I feel that this is really where the regex-based system shows it's weakness. You have to look for clues in the HTML that say where the main page content begins and ends. There might be telling HTML comments ('CONTENT BEGINS/ENDS HERE') if you're lucky, but otherwise you need a real parser, that even works against malformed or wildly invalid documents. In my single evening or so of messing with this, I haven't really found an ideal solution yet.
This is pretty much what it looks like:

Not the prettiest code, but hopefully it gets the point across. It didn't help that WordPress munged the bejesus out of this when I posted it.
Now, one of things to note here is that while the nuts and bolts of the matching are different site-by-site, the basic process is the same: fetch the table of contents, look through the HTML and find the links for the articles you want, then go through each page of those features, grabbing the content and ripping out the HTML, then finally save it out to a text file.
So, in theory, you could have one generalized set of functions to do all this, and just store your patterns in some kind of data structure. Say, a nested hash. That is left as an exercise to the reader, it shouldn't be that hard.
The end result of this, for the time being, is that I'm able to pull quite a bit of content with very little code, and in a bare-bones format that takes up almost no disk space, while being perfectly readable on the reader - if I ever remembered to take it with me and kept the battery charged.
An obvious problem here are that this outputs plain text, thus no images, as opposed to the more fully-realized PDF solution I was using before. As a counterpoint to that, or any other criticism, I'd like to offer the excuse that I spent more time typing this article than I did writing the script it's about. So no, it's not exactly polished software.
I hope this has been informative - even if I'm not breaking any new ground here, it's a fun little project that I enjoyed messing with, and ideally the thought process around it was slightly interesting to read. Further, I hope that you aren't a media executive, and are not phoning your lawyer right now.

Alexander, Olivia
The inspiration for my abstractions is feminine imagery, which to me expresses strength and vulnerability, power, mystery, and creative potential. This imagery is everywhere, and is often overlooked. People can run their eyes not only over the surface of my work, but beyond it through openings in the canvas or inside and over its hills and valleys. My paintings celebrate color and texture, and reflect all the experiences of my life
Alstrom, Bo
Anderson, Inger
The paintings are poetic and lyrical abstractions of nature. It's all about colours and the sense of the light and the movements in the landscape. The paintings visualize the space as flickering light, which gives an experience that connects the immediate and close with the infinite and boundless space. The paintings convey an immediate experience of beauty that unites us in a sense of deep connection to the nature.
Anderson, Jerry
Art is an expression of my search to discover and experience life fully. My paintings express my personal view of the visible world as well as the unseen. They are informed by dreams, feelings, sensation, movement and my life experiences. I find that the most fulfilling painting process occurs for me when my ego steps aside and I engage without expectation. When this occurs, time stands still and the miracle of spirit comes through.
Andresen, Tove
Arif, A.Q.
I paint the glories of nature and magnificence of God. I believe that there is nothing unnatural on this earth. Through my work, I need people to understand a simple fact that we all need to appreciate the beauty and harmony given to us by God. Beauty is not only in vibrant colors and pretty things like flowers, peacocks and angelic creatures; it lies in the hands of man and his heart. I have chosen architecture as my point of interest and I have shown the complexities as well as its simplicity side by side to compliment each other. I usually choose minimum colors and work in their tones, so that the attention of the viewer does not divert from my objective. I choose to use earthy tones and the various shades of the night sky because to me they depict our soil. Seeing my work the viewer undergoes a very serene and harmonious sense, due to its blissful equilibrium where time just stands still and one gets a moment to inhale the view and its tranquility.

Painting, Photography
Adam Balogh painter-photographer was born in Budapest in 1971. His receptive, open personality and exotic journeys as well as the influence of Central and South America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are reflected in his art. His paintings confess the inner journey made. Universal pictures, spiritual works that are clear and perceptible for everybody. Is this imagination or "another" reality? It takes us back to the origin: out to the stars or/and into ourselves? Is this mystical world to be found in distant universe or rather very near, in ourselves, in the rich internal images of the subconscious?
Barnhart, Carolyn
Carolynn Barnhart is a Canadian Visual Artist who has received International recognition for her exquisite paintings, mono-prints and mixed media compositions. She combines her love of the natural world with her innate gift for colour and composition as a means of expressing emotion, intellect and universal knowledge in her art work. Painting is a passion. Drawing is intensive labour. Each work with one another. Nature is magnificent. Always changing, moulding, re-arranging, filling each moment with wonder. Love of and respect for Nature creates inspiration for her inner expression.
Barnhart, Gary
Battley, Sieglinde
I was born in the town of Gumbinnen in East Prussia, which is now called Gusev and belongs to Russia. I studied Graphic Design in Frankfurt / Germany under Carlo Ruppert. I lived in Indonesia and Iran before migrating to Australia in 1978. I hold a Diploma in Fine Art from the West Australian School of Art and Design and a Bachelor Degree of Art (Fine Art) from Curtin University in Western Australia. I paint what I see, hear, smell, feel and think. I am a storyteller. I often depict animals and these creatures end up sharing idiosyncrasies of friends and family. They become symbols of my own fears, hopes and desires as well. I am often surprised what looks back at me from my canvas and these accidents I love most. They might not be so accidental after all.
Bending, April
Berg, Karin
The Netherlands
Fashion design was her passion which grew into a serious business. After that she committed herself to interior styling and decorating, fascinated by the beauty and shapes of the living environment. Her passion for art came at a later age. Karin likes to call herself someone who wants to capture the fascination for life to the fullest in all its facets. An artist is indeed fed, inspired and motivated through life. She makes art without borders where inspiration, capacity to create, shape and the free expression of color in art the base is for her work. Art plucked from life: "The Art of Intuition." Berg, Karin
Bergqvist, Mia
I am an artist from Finland. I am mostly known by my naivist/surrealistic paintings that are filled with colours, playful characters and the diverse beauty of nature. I have held many exhibitions in different galleries from Helsinki to Paris. And I want to continue to share my art with as many people as possible. I love the use of colours and different shapes and forms. Nature is an ongoing theme in my work. I wish to create a certain mood with all my paintings. A kind of journey for the beholder to experience. A trip to a far away dreamlike place, a visit to a world that one has never been to.
Bilge, Gultekin
Turkish Republic of Cyprus
Bilge's abstract artworks have a haunting emotional quality. He paints in terms of expressive energy, combining strong colour, light and shade in fluid forms to produce a multiplicity of abstract portraits, many hidden deep within the composition. The portraits range from large to small creating a rich dense texture and expressing a range of emotions that reveal a dark and troubled internal landscape. Bilge describes himself "digging deep" into his intuition, emotions and personal experience to express his thoughts and feelings about personal relationships, culture, society, politics and the impact of world events and different ideologies on people's lives.
Boghiu, Verena
Boisclair, Thérèse
I am striving to inspire a variety of emotions in those admiring the specials effects achieved with my acrylics on tissue paper. I was involved with art it seems forever. I was constantly searching for the "perfect" medium. I found the "perfect" medium twenty years ago when I discovered watercolor.
Over the last year, I slowly began experimenting with acrylics on specialized papers. I found my new passion while painting directly on tissue paper. In less than a year, I won four major prizes – two of them, first prizes of the jury - while participating at different exhibits.
Bousquet, Eliora
Braakman, Sia
Bron Chappuis, Nicole
We live in an incredible world in perpetual evolution. I nevertheless need to stop regularly and to take time to observe, to analyze and to appreciate the things of life. I often hear of my work that it is almost mathematical. It is! Isn't there a universal language here? The binary system in which we evolve, and which I use in the elaboration and the geometry of my paintings allows me to return to real values, to certain serenity. But I remain curious of evolution, and spray-painting allows me to reach a good balance between surprise and severity. I am EpiCurious of life and this is how I paint.
Brotherton, Paul
Brown, Renee
Renee has graduated from Rochestor institute of technology with a BFA in painting and the University of Buffalo with a masters in Painting and education. She has been named one of 50 emerging artist in art business news 2012.
I invite the viewers of my art on the journey that I flow through as I explore the aesthetic realm. I am wired to immanate multiple dimensions of my reality.Presently subjectively flowing in figurative abstractive tradition. With honed dream interpretation skills and inspiration from the teachings of world renownked interpretor John Paul Jackson, the art of Blake, and Kandinsky and Giacometti. I have been able to center into my realities.

Calderon, Ana Costa Rica, Sweden
Painting, Design
I was born and raised in urban Costa Rica and my current home is Sweden where everyday 'thinking out of the box' brings inspiration! I attended college in New Orleans but my profound love for nature seduced me in to later live 15 years in the rain forest where I built an eco-friendly hotel. I like that there is no right or wrong in Art, which gives me the freedom to approach art and design in an open minded way. I forget time and space when I'm forming an idea, is like entering illusion, unaware of what forms will appear. Most of my artwork comes out from inspiration related to 'Magic realism', suggesting a context uncommon of natural law. I play with mixed media, incorporating just about any technique that can be wall-mounted on canvas.
Carter, Julia
Casanova, Blanca Ruth
Casas, Jose Maria
Catania, Philip
Chan, Marcus
I am a visual artist with a special passion for the written word. I am interested in the aesthetic and artistic potentials inherent in the set of all calligraphies and scripts, in all languages and symbolisms - including mathematical and scientific notation. The word "Apple" does not need to plastically resemble the fruit. The word "Pomme" has a similar resonance. Writing has a dimension of meaning as cipher which the object represented lacks. In the Beginning was the Word, and the Cipher engendered all things through its Glory. My works exploit the various devices inherent in script: lines, curves, serifs, accents, majuscule and minuscule, cursivity, and so on. They aren't of any particular language or cultural matrix: they are not elitist or racist… But I believe that if I do good work, then they reflect a part of my soul.
Christiaans, Ineke
Art brings a rainbow of color to my life. In my abstract creations you see color, speed, energy and your own interpretations. When I began the "abstract" part of this journey, I seemed to have gone back to my childhood. A young girl with new crayons, and paints, sitting at my mother's kitchen table, with no idea in mind of what would happen, and no care of what would happen. That's when I re-discovered, the living wonder of this particular style. When I paint, the chains are loosed and I can once again fly, and release myself, far from all earthly distractions, and there is no longer a sense of time, or being. I don't "make" paintings, they are just suddenly there. Art Colors Life.

Jerry Day is a Southern California based photographer specializing in nighttime and astronomical photography. Jerry's photography reflects his fascination with the scenic beauty and history of the desert southwest. He finds particularly compelling the ruins of ghost towns to be found along lonely desert back roads, as well as the abandoned cliff dwellings and rock art of the Native American, remnants of an even more ancient people. Jerry is an active member of Trevisan International Art, the Ferrara Collective and the Redlands Art Association.

Fioravanti, Mauro
Professional photographer Mauro Fioravanti, born in La Spezia (Liguria), carries on his profession in his photography gallery sited in Monterosso al Mare, in the Cinque Terre Park heart. "... I love these borderline situations where there is a close interaction between elements which yearn to be transformed into each other constantly changing form, status, light but at the same time, remaining immutable. This why I love to photograph nature, because of the uncontrollable forces that govern it are very similar to the desire of freedom and change typical from every human being; in this case, ice and water interact repeatedly as well as daily lives in us a continued evolution from who we are into who we want to be. Changing, changing till finally discover ourselves as immutable creatures..."
Fiorentino, Matteo
Matteo Fiorentino was born in Vico del Gargano (Foggia) in 1953. Painter and art teacher, he has since early youth revealed his predisposition for painting, and he began his search with the modern figurative. The artist had his first exhibition in 1981. "In Matteo Fiorentino the natural is a pretext to make painting in a continuous job of digging and analysis, searching emotions outside the banality and predictably 'beautiful' of a photographic figurative, and from the nice souvenir imagery". He has recently created a cycle of informal naturalistic artworks.
Fioretto, Giovanni
Fleming, Kiki
Forbord, Marianne
Living in Norway, a country with distinct seasons, nature has always been an important source of inspiration in my paintings. Throughout the years I have moved from concrete to abstract art which I have perfectionated resulting in making paintings everyone can relate to. My paintings are build up by several layers and I use colorful expressions. Many trips to Italy have certainly affected my paintings in an exciting way. I am curious and in constant search for new ways to reflect nature.
Forlani, Rob
My work is an exploration of the relationship between mind and tangibility. On first glance it seems like pure abstraction of form and colour; not quite landscape - not quite realism. Interpretation is in turn the conscious control of our emotions.
Fromme, Erica
An absolutely fantastic spirit is hiding himself in the marvelous works of Erica Fromme, structuring and colouring her pictures, pulling the viewer magnetically into the new created worlds, which are arising at all places on the canvas, yet building together a great universe! This is inviting us to enter into the stream of live, full of joy and surprising events, pointing out relativity of each moment to the other, whether in time or space. So the works of Erica Fromme might be considered as a corresponding presentation to the physical theory of relativity in the wide fields of art!
Gafni, Orit
Digital Neo-Surrealism - that's my art: A combination of original digital photography, Photoshop processing which combines and changes photographs, and sometimes a touch of color on the canvas. This way the borders between the categories become blurred and the pictures become a new reality - a world without boundaries: A colorful, emotional world, liberated from the chains of reality. My moto is John Lennon's "Imagine" - a world with no borders. All my pictures use original photographs I took - both urban and nature (quite a lot of them from Italy …). My works have been shown since 2005 in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Israel, Germany and Italy.

Graat, Wendy
My way of painting is powerful, full of passion and with warm and flaming colours. The dynamic combination of colours and depth gives an energetic radiation to the works: they sparkle. To the viewer it seems that a part of the painting goes beyond the painting. It is left to the imagination of the observer what he/she will see. Using paint, paper, fabric on canvas, and brushing with spatula, brush, pallet knife or even a credit card, gives my paintings an abstract language.
Guicheteau, Cecile
By nature or education, I belong to that sort of people who like living alone. Is that fact the reason for my work or its result? I tend to believe that it is more the reason. Anyway, after working in the world of television and cinema, I am very happy today to be able to spend a lot of time alone and isolated in my workshop which is my actual universe. I like to work getting my inspiration from writings which touch me deeply. That's what I did, working from poets like Baudelaire. Through his work, Baudelaire sublimates themes of an extreme violence. He binds the evil to the beautiful; the sublime to the odious, violence and bliss, even death becomes a kind of aestheticism. I believe that it is precisely this I Baudelairian approach which interests me in the pictorial gesture.
Guldager, Birgit
Gurry, Suzanne
Suzanne Gurry is an emerging artist whose diverse body of work is comprised of mixed- media paintings on canvas. Her work features abstracted color relationships in the context of urban scenes or peaceful silhouettes, transforming otherwise pedestrian subjects into highly textured, soulful and intimate pieces. Her modern/abstract work emanates a sense of peace and calm.

I was born in England and I have lived in Asia, South Africa and now Australia. My abstract paintings and quirky sculptures draw on themes inspired by nature, interactions, emotions, journeys of life and virtues within us. Using colour texture form and rhythm my aim to take the viewer on a journey and explore the deeper levels that connect us all. I have been exhibiting as a professional artist since 1993.and have works in many corporate and private collections both nationally and internationally.
Hulme, Beth
Isking, Gisela
Jackson, Maz
Born in East Anglia, UK, I've spent my life with my family, drawing and painting in this locality. The Norfolk landscape and its people enrich my imagery which can be interpreted in many ways and relate to many cultures across the globe. I continue to exhibit and be collected by galleries, museums and private collectors across Europe, Japan, China, USA and Mexico. My work continues to evolve. I have a deep interest in traditions of practice, in colour, line, mark-making and edge. Imagery springs from anything that excites: communication, laughter, touch, tension, flight, landscape, the spaces between and things sacred.
James, Elizabeth
I was born and raised in London where my relationship with photography came to light. My work often involves taking a closer look, viewing the world from different perspectives; the outcome is a personal exploration of my subject matter. I am always aiming for the point at which form, function and meaning intersect seamlessly. Capturing visual rhythms in natural flow a way of gaining a glimpse of our environment we barely notice or have words for but connects us all.
Jinnah, Nadiya

Kalocsai, Zoltan Hungary
I STAYED AS I WAS BORN, so I have it easy. I haven´t forgotten, what everybody starts as a child, but forgets by growing up - the joy of painting. Taking in and filtrating everything, that´s what I am. Then performing all my impressions, experiences as colourful patches on pieces of canvas with hairy sticks - this is what I call REAL PLEASURE. And then standing with a serious face at the show opening - well this is an art!

The ocean is my muse. Being born in a coastal village, I love the constant movement and colour of my surrounds. Ships gliding up and down the channels and the quiet underworld of reefs and rockpools. My paintings are Summer experiences in all their vibrancy. The creative journey began with representational images particularly bright, breezy yachts, their spinnakers blazing against the sea and sky. Gradually, abstracted concepts of these experiences entered my pictorial language. Using Impasto techniques allows me to layer colour with texture, quickly expressing the sheer joy and playfulness of my method.
Kerr, Susan
Susan Kerr, NDD, ATD Bath Academy of Art, UK, University of Leicester, UK. 'A long lasting interest in the Cosmos and the mysteries of the universe has evolved into these paintings, which can be characterised as explorations of the metaphysical world and the universe. In my paintings there is an investigation into the most essential elements of existence, such as colour, light and space, depth and gravity, through abstraction from natural phenomena as seen in the universe.'
Khoy, Selda
Selda Khoy-Emami was born in 1979 in Iran. From a young age, she practiced various forms of art such as music, drawing and painting. Her work of Selda is composed of various materials and techniques. Her love goes out to large projects based on acrylic or oil paint, with a balanced image of colors together in beautiful patterns, often with multiple interpretations. Her paintings are from life and give a picture of love and freedom.
Kim, Maria Kisook
Klausen,Bente Braad
Bente Braad Klausen is an artist who combines vigorousness with poetry, sober-mindedness with enthusiasm and lyric love of colours with masculine brute strength. Therefore, her paintings appeal to everybody who appreciates unsentimental, energetic and dynamic interpretations of the nature that we are a part of and of the life we live.
Kilpela, Pirkko
Kleyn, Hilda
Klinke, Tania Maria
With my paintings, I wish to evoke impressions and imaginings in the one who looks at them. I want the observer to take time, to let the paintings unfold their effect and let his fantasy play, to let ideas develop. My paintings should touch the one who observes them - they should arouse feelings and stir emotions, to make the onlooker dream. To a large extent, my paintings are created spontaneously. While painting, I let my fantasy and intuition run free. The canvas, the painting leads me into a certain direction, to take shape, time and again all over again.
Kok, Hetty
For many years I worked as a Fashion Designer and Stylist and created many fashion collections for high street shops. I changed direction after meeting Luigi Amati, the Italian Sculptor residing in the Netherlands. Luigi Amati worked with the famous Marino Marini, who is one of my favourite Sculptors. Current inspirations for my work are Maillol, Rubens and Zadkin, as demonstrated by the different styles in my work from classic to figurative and abstract creating lines, forms and shadows.
Koppelaars, Marjolijn
What are the colors and shapes of my emotions? Each day I paint, something happens. Something arises from the paint and the canvas. I see the unity of my emotions with the colors of the sky, the scents of the season, and the whole experience of nature and all of its elements. This is where my inspiration comes from.
Korinteli, Nino
I am a self taught painter, I have been into art since I remember myself. I draw and paint faces, figures, landscapes, abstracts, surrealism… anything I put my eye upon or what comes from my fantasy. I chose medium freely too.
Krauss, Michele
Michele Krauss was born and raised in Santiago, Chile. She moved to the United States in 1987, starting a never-ending journey of moves and experiences. She lived and studied Interior Architecture, Interior Design and Art while living in Milan, London, San Francisco, Miami, Madrid and New York. Her years of traveling and studying have allowed her to develop a very particular style, composed of many different passions. Michele had not being able to accommodate herself to academics rules. As a self-taught artist, she keeps taking the opportunity to grow and learn, painting with different artists and absorbing what the world has to offer. Today, her paintings are held in private collections worldwide.

University Honors Program
Founded in 1983, the University Honors Program is the original undergraduate honors program at UAB. This nationally-acclaimed honors program offers an innovative and challenging interdisciplinary arts and sciences curriculum, which is specially designed for our honors students and taught by faculty members who are known for their excellence in teaching and scholarship. This program replaces a student's core curriculum, the only exception to the core curriculum in the state of Alabama. See the Curriculum page for more details. Since all incoming undergraduate students are required to complete the core regardless of their major, the University Honors Program is open to all majors. Unlike many honors programs whose requirements are added to core and major requirements, our curriculum replaces the core curriculum and therefore participation in our honors program in no way delays progress towards your degree. |
