I don't get why lorde is nominated her song isn't that good ,
There are many more artist that had deserved to be nominated
Just saying just because she became famous recently thous not mean she is al that great
Next year they need to look better for who they nominated
Just my opinion
Posted at 9:34 PM on December 7, 2013
YES. Kacey Musgraves! Lorde! Ed Sheeran! KACEY MUSGRAVES! (I absolutely love her!). Just Amazing.
As a country fan, I gotta comment on the country album category. Jason and Blake made undeniably horrible crap (country-rap or c-rap) bro-country albums, and shouldn't have been nominated. Ashley Monroe's "Like a Rose" and The Band Perry's "Pioneer" should have been nominated, and had Brandy Clark's "12 Stories" been within the eligibility period, it definitely should have been nominated, if not won.
P.S. To those people who say that Justin/Selena/other teenie-boppers deserve awards, you are definitely on crack or something. If you have not realised, Grammy voters are required to be above the age of 13, and don't give out awards for the most excessive use of auto-tune (ahem, "Come and get It")
Posted at 10:59 PM on December 7, 2013
THANK YOU!!! And these fans need to realize have millions of Twitter followers doesn't qualify you to earn a Grammy nomination or win. The Justin, Selena, Miley, etc. snubs is proof positive they are not taken seriously as musicians by ARAS. Despite Justin Bieber earning one for Best New Artist one year, he showed complete late of grace when Espranza Spaulding beat him and his rabid Bieliebers attacked her on social media. The teeny boppers are tabloid magnets, nothing more.

Hi All
I have posted on here before about damage to underside of my car as am worried, as my car is due to return from lease soon and concerned how much they may bill me as it says on my return form "significant damage to underside of car or chassis is unacceptable"
Is this deemed significant would you say?
I have applied waxoyl to it and you can see where that has settled on the damage, I have filed down all the loose bits metal. You can still see it if under car and am worried as know the inspectors will spot it as they are thorough, how big bill could they hit me with!
So frustrating, I have taken it to garages and they said not much they can do but know if lex autolease have a way of billing they will.
Any views / help / anyone work for these companies in past.

Ben Pogue, Photographer
posted by Thupamodel on
June 8th, 2012 in The Scoop
Just a few years after food blogging has become a mainstream hobby, food photography has become a force of it's own. Just take a look at Saveur Magazine's "Best Food Blog Awards 2012″ and you will be amazed at the high level of design and art direction that goes into producing each nominee's blog post, each photoshoot, each video.
It was recently that I came across fashion photographer Ben Pogue's online portfolio and felt compelled to share his work. The simplicity of using singular ingredients, modern composition, and dramatic lighting make Ben's food photos stand out. They are raw, dark, and exquisite – an antithesis to the usually-happy and bright colored mainstream food photography. Take a look below, and also see his portfolio on WSM website.

Butter For Paula Deen
Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the kitchen, here we go again. I always find it heartwarming when the masses come to the aid of fallen, disgraced, multi-millionaire, TV folk. For without them how would we know what to think?
Paula Deen's rather ungracefully dive into the public garbage disposal has been run up and down the media flag pole for way to long it seems. But, here we go again.
A movement has started to get all the companies that dropped Paula Deen as their spokeswoman to rehire her.
Butterforpaula.org was organized by John Schmitt, a hotel auditor in Indianapolis. He is encouraging all of Paula's fans to send butter wrappers to Paula's sponsors.
According to the "Butter For Paula" website, "Paula Deen has become a part of our families … and families stick together." …get it "Stick". Insert your own LOL…
So what do you think? Is all forgiven? Can't we all just hug, forget, and agree that "WE IS WHAT WE IS?"

Our Pen & Ink Process It all starts with an idea or concept of an image we would like to do. First, we do some research by looking at photos or other art works that deal with the same subject. We hardly ever go by an exact photo-as we like to create the "ideal" country living setting by combining real places with our imagination. Then we make several very rough pencil sketches to determine composition, object placement and perspective. When we have one that is acceptable to what we want to create, we do a final sketch. However, this final sketch is just one for reference for the final artwork. Now we are ready to start on the final piece by selecting the right paper: usually we use "Bristol - smooth". Then we start on the most tedious tasks; the final drawing. We have to use a very light pencil, usually a 4H. We try not to erase as much as possible so that it won't scar the paper and later cause the ink to "bleed". A kneaded eraser works best as it only picks up the graphite without scarring the paper surface. Once the final drawing is complete, and the paper properly secured to a drawing board the Pen & Ink process can begin. We may use a rapidiograph pen or dip-style fountain quill and ink well. In any case ,before you touch the pen to your final drawing each time you must blot the ink on a separate sheet of paper to avoid ink run off that can ruin a picture. Remember, that once ink is down on the page, it can never be removed. If you make a mistake, you have to start all over again! Most of our Pen & Ink art takes weeks to complete, even if we work on it every day. During these weeks you have to be very careful of your drawing and treat it as though it were made of gold. Don't sit it down where something can spill on it, watch out for fingerprints, even a sneeze is a potential hazard! Now that we are finished, we carefully take up the drawing and place in a folder that is much larger than the image to protect the corners of the paper. Now, we take it to the publisher, get it printed to the specified edition, and the our Pen & Ink art prints are ready for you and your home decor! |

No, nurses, this is not going to be another "Rah, Rah!" motivational health and fitness speech to create the "best-you" possible. Motivation is great but only lasts until your first temptation and then, "poof", it vanishes.
I turned 40 in March of 2009. I was 240 pounds, miserable, disgusted, exhausted, and frustrated. I had a great marriage, a successful career as a nurse entrepreneur; I had just finished writing my first book, and we were in great shape financially, but this horrible image that stared back at me from the mirror haunted and consumed me. As my husband took my "fat picture"—again, I could remember the feeling of utter despair. I had almost a hundred pounds to lose—the thought was paralyzing. How Connie? How am I going to do this? I had tried literally everything, so why was this time going to be different? My mother had passed away the year before from a massive hemorrhagic stroke and a lifetime of health complications. She had been a nurse for over 40 years. My Dad was also suffering from crippling rheumatoid arthritis, having been on steroids for close to 30 years. He too looked and felt much older than his age.
Somehow, I always knew that I had a great figure hiding underneath all of the flab. I just didn't know how to find it.
My 'why' had to be bigger than my 'but'…
This was my impetus, not my skinny jeans, although I would be lying if I said that didn't appeal to me. But truth be told, I would rather enjoy movie theatre popcorn than do the work of getting into those jeans. No, my 'why' had to be bigger this time. At age 40, and a nurse, I knew what the health risks were. If I kept on this path, I would have full blown diabetes in 5 years; heart disease would soon follow, and so on. I was too young to feel this miserable. I knew I was at a precipice, a jumping-off point where my health would take a nose dive if I didn't do something about it, and soon. I swore to myself that "no matter what," I would lose this weight.
Nursing skill and research transformed my life.
I knew another nationally franchised weight loss chain was not going to be my answer, as they never were. I needed to understand my own unique physiology. I used my nursing research skill to really delve into the physiology of fat storage, and fat utililization; how the body responds to different types of food, stress, hormonal changes, environment, exercise, sleep, mental attitude, and I finally found the answers that had been so elusive to me. Within one year, I had lost 80 pounds and competed in my first physique competition. I especially researched women over age 35.
Thirty-five is that magical age when you wake up one day and realize you really are closer to 40 than to 20—bummer. You begin having vague symptoms that you really don't attribute to anything in particular, you just know you feel tired. Your critical thinking skills are foggy and fuzzy, and recall isn't happening as quickly as it used to. You begin to notice those fine lines, and weird bumps and calluses on your arms and knees, and think to yourself, "I need a loufa." The stress of work, lack of regular, sound sleep, and the temptations of "patient-gratitude-foods", play a huge role in disrupting our hormonal symphony.
Since I am a results oriented person, my empirical data confirmed what the research was saying: fat loss is a 100 percent hormonal event.
The "Why" of fat storage overshadows my "But", as I now know how to make calculated, fun choices that support a beautiful harmonious symphony of health.
I actually feel very blessed and fortunate to have gone through my 40-year struggle, because I now have the distinct pleasure of being able to serve others and help them achieve their formerly elusive goals.

The 3D Modeling for Games Certificate is offered for those who wish to develop skills to specialize in Game Modeling, or to enable a career change. The curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of the skills needed to work as a 3D Modeler.
Program details and next steps:
Creating the characters and other objects found in video games requires a unique skillset. The 3d modeler must work closely with other talented professionals including programmers, designers and conceptual artists in order to amaze us with their 3d creations.
If you are an artist or other professional in the video game industry looking to advance your career or perhaps gain new skills, then the Certificate in 3d Modeling for Games program at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh – Online Division might be the perfect fit for you.
The curriculum consists of 13 core courses that provide students with a comprehensive overview of the skills needed to work as a 3D Modeler, with special emphasis on the areas that differentiate game modeling from other modeling disciplines.
The real time nature of model rendering in games places a high demand on efficiency that is not found in other programs that offer 3D modeling. It is easier to expand on this paradigm to create more complex models than it is to refit complex models for real time rendering, so this program provides training valuable for any area of 3D art production.
Upon completion of the 3D Modeling for Games Certificate program, students will be able to use a variety of advanced 3D modeling tools and techniques to create high quality models, both for characters and for environment/props.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Employment of multimedia artists and animators is expected to grow by 8 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. Expected growth will be due to increased demand for animation and visual effects in video games, movies, and television. However, it will be slowed by companies hiring animators who work overseas.
Consumers will continue to demand more realistic video games, movie and television special effects, and three-dimensional movies. Video game studios will require additional multimedia artists and animators to meet this increased demand. In addition, an increased demand for computer graphics for mobile devices, such as smart phones, will lead to more job opportunities."
