What is Drawing?
What is Drawing?
The term drawing is applied to works that vary greatly in technique. It has been understood in different ways at different times and is difficult to define. During the Renaissance the term 'disegno' implied drawing both as a technique to be distinguished from colouring and also as the creative idea made visible in the preliminary sketch.
The Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines drawing as:
'the formation of a line by drawing some tracing instrument from point to point of a surface; representation by lines; delineation as distinguished from painting...the arrangement of lines which determine form.'
Despite this insistence on the formation of line and the implied lack of colour, few would deny that a work formed by dots or shading or wholly in line but in a range of colours is a drawing.
The following drawings, made in different ways, have been selected to help define and also to stretch the boundaries of what drawing is. They vary in the medium used, which includes metal-point, graphite, charcoal, ink, and chalk. Some fulfill the strict dictionary definition of drawing, others do not.
Why draw?
There are many different reasons why people draw:
- to visualise thought and work something out

Ink and brown wash on laid paper

The studies enabled him to experiment with the content, structure and mood of the final paintings. Ultimately the subject was treated with greater restraint than in this study. The sketch was thus made as part of his thinking towards the finished composition.

Antoine Watteau (1684-1721)
Red chalk on laid paper
Width 18 cm x height 31.9 cm
Museum no. CAI 258By the 17th century sketches were popular because of the extent to which they provide insight into the artist's thought processes. As result many artists made sketches specifically for sale. The sketches on this sheet do not relate to any of Watteau's more finished compositions. It is likely they were drawn specifically to cater for the trade in sketches.

Deanna Petherbridge (born 1939)
Ink and washes
Width 51.4 cm x height 73 cm
Museum no. P.5-1985Petherbridge is an example of an artist for whom drawing is her chosen medium of expression. She has said: 'In my own work I've never done preliminary drawing, because it's sometimes difficult to repeat something or to continue when the urgency's gone. I work on drawing as a final product. It is my entire visual art practice: I eat, sleep, think, write about, and do drawing'.
Talking about drawing
Many creative people have stressed the importance of drawing for their work in other media. These quotations give an idea of the function and importance of drawing in their lives. They range in date from the 15th century to the present and demonstrate the enduring importance of drawing.
Cennino Cennini (c.1370 - 1440)
'In the first place you must study drawing for at least one year; then you must remain with a master at the workshop for the space of six years at least , that you may learn all the parts and members of the art...drawing without intermission on holidays and work-days'.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
'The young man should first learn perspective, then the proportions of objects. Next, copy work after the hand of a good master, to gain the habit of drawing parts of the body well; and then to work from nature, to confirm the lessons learned.'
Michelangelo (1475 - 1564)
'Let whoever may have attained to so much as to have the power of drawing know that he holds a great treasure.'
Titian (c.1487/1490 - 1576)
'It is not bright colours but good drawing that makes figures beautiful.'
Giorgio Vasari (1511 - 1574 )
'Man was not then considered a good goldsmith unless he could draw well.'
Tintoretto (1518 - 1594)
'Beautiful colours can be bought in the shops on the Riatlo, but good drawing can only be bought from the casket of the artist's talent with patient study and nights with out sleep.'
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780 - 1867)
'Drawing is the probity of art. To draw does not mean simply to reproduce contours; drawing does not consist merely of line: drawing is also expression, the inner form, the plane, the modeling. See what remains after that.'
John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
'The art of drawing which is of more real importance to the human race than that of writing...should be taught to every child just as writing is.'
Camille Pissarro (1831 - 1903)
'it is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.'
Paul Cezanne (1839 - 1906)
'Drawing and colour are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you draw. The more the colour harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes.'
Auguste Rodin (1840 - 1917)
'What is drawing? Not once in describing the shape of the mass did I shift my eyes from the model. Why? Because I wanted to be sure that nothing evaded my grasp of it… My objective is to test to what extent my hands already feel what my eyes see.'
Henry Tonks (1862 - 1937)
'Italy up to near the end of the 16th century will always be the best school for all those who want to learn what drawing can explain...As it is by drawings that we make our records of form, its importance cannot be exaggerated. A school of painting in which drawing is not taught and drawing dissociated with painting is not worthy of the name of school. When a student begins to paint he will soon perceive the relation of drawing to paint.'
Wassilly Kandinsky (1866 - 1944)
'Drawing instruction is a training towards perception, exact observation and exact presentation not of the outward appearances of an object, but of its constructive elements, its lawful forces-tensions, which can be discovered in given objects and of the logical structures of same-education toward clear observation and clear rendering of the contexts, whereby surface phenomena are an introductory step towards the three-dimensional.'
Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954)
'Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.'
Spencer Frederick Gore (1878 - 1914)
'By drawing, man has extended his ability to see and comprehend what he sees.'
Paul Klee (1879 - 1940)
'In the final analysis, a drawing simply is no longer a drawing, no matter how self-sufficient its execution may be. It is a symbol, and the more profoundly the imaginary lines of projection meet higher dimensions, the better.'
Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
'Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.'
André L'Hote (1885 - 1962)
'You can only learn to paint by drawing, for drawing is a way of reserving a place for colour in advance.'
Alec Issigonis (1906 - 1988)
'My doodles and sketches are not the work of an academic engineer. They represent many years of design study in attempts to produce the best value for money in the field of small car design.'
Jim Dine (born 1935)
'Drawing makes invention more accessible for me. Faster. Immediate. I start a drawing and I start to invent. I am always destroying the drawing's status quo. I guess you could say I practice my own form of larceny. I sabotage reality, otherwise its like kissing without using your tongue. I can't even cook a hamburger without messing with it… Before, often I lay down everything in a realistic way, but now, I have less patience for realism, my heart is too full. I need to release more emotion. I want more emotion and that gets in the way of realism. I want to cut the realism. Now, I'm letting off a lot of firecrackers, and I'm putting down a lot of ideas as though I was building with ideas. Things are coming up. Things are coming up and I have no way to speak about what the things are, but things are coming up that wouldn't ordinarily grow next to each other. The depiction of physical energy on the paper and the disturbing of the paper's surface are other ways to bring the drawing to life.'
David Hockney (born 1937)
'At the time of co-ordinating (in collaboration with Allen Jones) the 2004 Royal Academy Exhibition which had a special focus on drawing: 'drawing has been neglected for the last 30 years in art education…That was based on the idea that photography would suffice as a view of the world…people are now aware that photography can be digitally manipulated and may no longer reflect reality…It is time for us to look at how images are made, to place greater value on drawings and draughtsmanship…practically everything comes to life on a drawing board.'
Eva Jiricna (born 1939)
'I sketch all the time, I am surrounded by endless amounts of A3 and A4 size pads. I am constantly trying to resolve problems and details. I have a necessity to know what a detail looks like – how the materials come together, how it works in three-dimensions. If I draw it for myself, I understand it. If I try to imagine it, it is too whimsical. Sketching is a tool – an extension of one's brain.'
Grayson Perry (born 1960)
'Until we can insert a USB into our ear and download our thoughts, drawing remains the best way of getting visual information on to the page. I draw as a collagist, juxtaposing images and styles of mark-making from many sources. The world I draw is the interior landscape of my personal obsessions and of cultures I have absorbed and adapted, from Latvian folk art to Japanese screens. I lasso thoughts with a pen. I draw a stave church or someone from Hello! Magazine not because I want to replicate how they look, but because of the meaning they bring to the work.'
Alexander McQueen (1969 - 2010)
'I was literally 3 years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life, through primary school, secondary school, all my life. I always, always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of twelve. I followed designer's careers. I knew Giorgio Armani was a window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro was a tailor.'

Your child will be miserable here. We pulled our child out and went to a better christian private school. Children's creativity is stifled at Second Baptist. You can chooses to ignore this comment at your own risk. god help you if you do.
Second Baptist not only prepared my child academically for college (Class of 2010), but also gave her the Christian foundation to stand on when faced with obstacles that came up while away from home. She commented that Second Baptist was, at times, harder than college.
Beware of the Lower School. My daughter developed anxiety attacks and nightmares. I soon found out that Revelations was one of their Bible verses. She began having bad dreams about lambs blood and some of her non Baptist friends going to hell. I do not believe that Revelations is age appropriate for the younger children. In addition, the teacher decided that she was ADHD. I had her tested at several places and non of the doctors said she had ADHD. But did have anxiety. The pressure became so great to put her on drugs, that I finally lied and told them she was on ADHD meds. Immediately her grades skyrocketed to 100's and I was told how great she was now doing. I had several conferences with administration. I got zero support there. Similar things happened to other parents as well. This is a high pressure school. Too much pressure.
I attend the Second Baptist middle school. The Bible program is actually very serious and detailed. If your child is not Christian or not religious they will be very uncomfortable. The school definitely forces Christianity. Let me be honest, the boys here are very rude. The girls are typically kind, though. The teachers also force the idea of being a conservative Christian republican, and the children don't learn to have their own opinion. There is no diversity here. People are not unique, creative, artistic, or willing to stand out, speak up, and be themselves. I feel like the school has no vibrancy. But the education is very good. It is tough and challenging. There will be stressful days of work, though. The grammar and math is especially good. Although the experience has been good, I'm looking for a school that is more artistic and unique.
I love this school. It is classically Christian with a great Bible program, but Christianity is not 'forced' on anyone. Discipline is good, and the teachers are warm and fun (at least in lower school!) Academics are wonderful. The math in lower school is challenging, but very well integrated between grades. Reading, spelling and grammar are great too. Science and social studies are great fun and my kid knows so much already. One thing that I really like that was unexpected, is the athletic program. Football games are a whole lot of fun for the little ones, who cheer, play in the playground, eat hot dogs and just generally get to enjoy the school spirit that most of us didn't get until high school. The cheerleaders and football players are sweet and gracious to the little ones. Great place.
I have a daughter who is graduating this year and has been at Second Baptist School since she was in Pre-K. It is an exceptional school with exceptional teachers. For the 70 students graduating from the class of 2009, 12 got into UT and 12 into A & M. So much for the 10% rule. The colleges love the students coming out of Second Baptist because it is a College Preparatory school and the kids are well prepared for the academics in college.
We had a hard decision to make for our daughter. We are zoned to Spring Branch Memorial Drive Elementary School (which is a great school i am told) and in the wonderful Spring Branch ISD. We ended up making the decision to send our daughter to Second Baptist. Can't count the number of times my husband and i said how glad we were that we chose SBS. I know it's only Pre-K so far but we believe they totally have it mastered. She amazes us daily on what she knows about the Bible. She is reading. The teachers are very loving and firm too. Discipline and respect are hand and hand. We are continuing on at Second. Love it!

Incredible School, highly recommended! High quality education, challenging curriculum, loving teachers, and effective preparation for college. I credit this school's academic preparation for helping me earn academic scholarships. Honestly, my honors degree classes at tx A&M were comparable to the AP classes in high school at second, and because of the AP program, I Started my Freshman year with 41 hours of credit. Parents are extremely involved, and overall, the school provides a very loving Christian environment for its students.
Great School! My niece and nephew attend there and love it. They always rave about the teachers and my niece scored over 1350 on her SATs! She totally credits the excellent education she feels she received from Second Baptist School. She has attended from Kindergarten, and is now entering her senior year, looking forward to attending an excellent university next year, hopefully with an academic scholarship.
Second Baptist has a warm, caring environment. The school is worth the money just for the bible program.
Excellent education level, discipline and order, parents involved, great collge prep.
Second Baptist School is highly recommended. The students are challenged to excel academically and nurtured to grow spiritually. The teachers and administration are highly qualified and truly care about each child and family. Second Baptist is a school in which parents can feel secure that their children are receiving the best possible education to succeed in all aspects of life. --Rhonda Plezia
Second Baptist School is a wonderful, nurturing, loving, and exciting Christian School. Its academics are challenging but its excellent teachers and administrative staff are there to help each student succeed and reach his or her potential. Goals are reached at Second Baptist every day!

stephanie murray; I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I just lost mine in September of this year. propofol should be out of someones system within 24 hours if they let it come out naturally. There is medications that they can use to make you wake up faster. Just like coming out of anesthesia from surgery. Please do not let them use this drug too long, obviously you are aware of what happened to Michael Jackson with this medication. It can be very dangerous if used too long. Good luck P.S can you please explain what a tiaq is or did you spell it wrong. Thank you

My wife under propofol for 7 days. Nursing staff stated repeatedly they had never seen anyone under the dosage rate the dr maintained for the duration. She was in for respiratory failure and incubated. Post release from hospitalization she has total loss of use and feeling in right foot. Dr.'(s) claim foot possibly left unsupported or hanging off of bed. No attempt to secure feet was ever made but they now claim should have been. The term is drop foot. At 33 yrs., she may never walk again unassisted. Horrible drug with life changing side-effects if not carefully monitered. No one warned us nor is anyone taking any responsibility. Do not accept any claims of brain injury until you research with the manufacturer. This drug not recommended for long term sedation. So sorry for your family.

CHENNAI: A PIL seeking to reinvestigate the assassination case of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi has been filed in the Madras high court bench here on Tuesday.
The petitioner V Santhakumaresan, an advocate, said in his PIL that "the reinvestigation, in the interest of justice, may bring out buried truths".
The important grounds under which the petitioner sought reinvestigation included the reported statement of CBI investigating officer Ragothaman in an interview to a Tamil channel recently that the video clippings and recorded tapes of the case had not been handed over to the Special Investigation team.

His beloved son Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear. The business of the family is just like the head of the family, kind and benevolent to those who give respect, but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands against the good of the family. Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price, especially from Michael, all for the sake of the family.

When the old Mosport control tower and media centre were demolished to make way for a bigger pitlane and upgraded garages, track co-owner Ron Fellows was nowhere to be seen.
Although his head told him all the change was inevitable and needed to attract more prominent series to his venue, losing a part of the track's history tugged more than a bit on his heart.
"I did not go out there when they took it down," he said.
"It was always a neat place, but unfortunately in today's world it was terribly out of date. It's necessity based on the need for more room on pitlane. It's always been a problem and it was always on the list."
While bulldozing the existing structures was always in the plan, the upgrades to the track became more pressing after NASCAR announced earlier this month that its Camping World Truck Series would race at the venerable track next Labour Day weekend. It will be the first road course event for the trucks since 2000 when they ran at Watkins Glen International in Upper New York State. Coincidentally, Fellows won the truck race at The Glen in 1997 and again in 1999.
Last year, Fellows, along with Trailcon Leasing president Alan Boughton and Orlando Corp. chairman Carlo Fidani, bought the Bowmanville, Ont., circuit from Don Panoz. Boughton was bought out by the other two partners over the summer. It was officially renamed Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP) in February.
Although the arrival of the truck race at CTMP was music to Canadian stock car fans' ears after they learned last month that the Nationwide Series event in Montreal would not continue, Fellows initially thought its end might throw a spanner in his works.
"When Nationwide went away from Montreal, I was concerned about the negative effect on our ability to get a major NASCAR event," Fellows said.
"My early chats with NASCAR were based on the fact that the success of Montreal races had the Toronto market being considered as well. That event continuing to operate was more of a positive for us."
NASCAR's second tier series raced on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal for six seasons beginning in 2007. Although successful on track, Octane Management suddenly announced in October that it would no longer be the race promoter because it could not make money staging the event.
Being able to stay in Canada and move into the Toronto area was hugely attractive to NASCAR, which said it wants a long and lasting relationship with CTMP.
"We are happy to be able to remain in Canada for the seventh straight year with one of our national series," said Jim Cassidy, NASCAR managing director of racing operations.
"The numbers speak for themselves. The Canadian fan base is extremely passionate about the sport and obviously we are tapping into a big portion of that base just being outside of Toronto, so it's huge for the business as well."
The venue has been pretty good for Fellows too, which is why seeing change – even if it is sorely needed – is tough sometimes.
Fellows' love for the track began more than three decades ago as a spectator and then he continued the romance as a driver. Along the way, his racing career became inseparably linked to the 10-turn, 3.96-kilometre road course that has hosted almost every form of motorsport from Formula One to stock cars to superbikes.
When it was still known as the Mosport International Raceway, it was the scene of Fellows' first drivers' championship, his maiden Trans-Am Series win, a world sportscar victory with Ferrari, and several chequered flags in the American Le Mans Series. In 2009, he scored an emotional victory in the Sports Car Club of America world challenge during the track's 50th anniversary year.
The storied racetrack continues to undergo a multi-million dollar facelift begun late last year after the new ownership group took possession of the facility. This fall, work began on a new state-of-the-art "event centre" which will house a media centre and luxury boxes for corporations to entertain VIPs.
The plan is to create a facility that has all the modern amenities needed to host just about any kind of road racing event. The only series that's likely off of CTMP's radar is F1, although the European-based Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters continues to make noise about holding events in North America. Now that the German touring car series has a pair of homegrown drivers in the field – 2012 series champion Bruno Spengler of St-Hippolyte, Que., and Guelph, Ont.'s, Robert Wickens – racing in this country becomes much more attractive.
Closer to home, there is now a void in Canada when it comes to the Nationwide Series, which was well-received in Montreal and always put on a great show. Fans wondering if the truck series' move into Canada means that a Nationwide date for CTMP can't be far behind will have to be patient, Cassidy advised.
"I'd say stay tuned for the future – we will never rule out anything," he said.
"You know one door closes and another opens and that is certainly the case here. Sure it was a great event in Montreal we were up there for six years and had some good races, but we are in a new market – it's a bigger market – and it's going to be a great race for the truck series."
While he's now a track owner and hasn't done anything yet about finding a ride in next September's race, the lure of the inaugural NASCAR truck series race at CTMP may be too much for Fellows to resist.
And in case anyone is wondering, NASCAR's 2013 rulebook has gone to print and there's nothing in it that prohibits track owners from winning one of its sanctioned races at their own circuit.
"That's good to know," Fellows laughed when told that he was in the clear.
"I haven't really thought about it and I will likely do some NASCAR road races next year. I am happy for the track, for [his partner] Carlo [Fidani], and for Canadian Tire that we have NASCAR coming to our track and whether or not I actually race in it is a ways away from being decided. But, I would not rule it out."

Do you celebrate Halloween?
It is technically a religious festival started out pagan and now adopted by the church who are now claiming it to be the day of the devil.
Tags: Halloween
I've traditionally spent it getting drunk at a Halloween party and having sex with a "sexy bumblebee" or some such nonsensical thing. Of course this inevitably leads to the Thanksgiving abortion...
Well I should hope so!
Jeff Goldblum's DNA needs work.
Sometimes you just can't make it up! I came across this effort to rename the 31st of October, "Jesusween". Seriously?
Sounds like a great way to hand out toilet paper.
I quit giving out candy a few years ago and now give out little Halloween theme toys.
I don't "celebrate" Halloween because I live in an apartment building and pretty much Halloweening is done in neighborhoods where there are houses. Never had a kid knock on my door whenever I've lived in an apartment building.
However, were I to live in a house I'd be prepared with apples with razor blades embedded in them. Just kidding!
Sure, I'd be prepared with something for the kids.
I mean, atheists worrying about whether to join in the Halloween fun...atheist political correctness run amok.
I participate in Christmas, too. It brings the family together a lot more than lecturing them about the nonexistence of God would.
Sure. It's my birthday, for one, and it's also gay Christmas.
Yes I love halloween, especially the dressing up part.
Didn't get a single Trick-or-Treater tonight. :(
I don't know about conditions out there in Missouri, but here in Northern Ohio, last night was pretty nasty. Rain and wind running 30 mph and gusting up to 40 mph. One adult was killed crossing a street while out with his kids, so some people were out.
I don't normally only get but 10 to 12 kids.
It rained earlier in the day and was a little cold, so I guess the toys will have to wait a year to find a new home.

From left, Randy Cabral Todd Bertrand and Anthony Marvuglio (NEMA)
Taking advantage of the caution he was "hoping for," Todd Bertrand captured the 25-lap Northeastern Midget feature Sunday at Waterford Speedbowl's Blast Off Weekend. Bertrand described the run to his third career NEMA win, all of them at Waterford, as "methodical."
Bertrand (Bertrand 39) was in complete control after beating Anthony Marvuglio of E. Bridgewater (Bourbeau 38)) into turn one on a lap 15 restart. Marvuglio held on for second followed by Randy Cabral of Plymouth (Bertrand 47), Seth Carlson (Feigel 71) and Russ Stoehr of Bridgewater (Dumo's Desire 45) as NEMA opened its 61st season.
Following three side-by-side laps with fellow front-row starter Carlson, Marvuglio took command. The patient Bertrand, second by lap five, was catching the leader. "I wanted a restart," explained Bertrand. "I didn't want to wear out my tires. I knew my tires were going to be cooler than his."
Looking at the scoreboard, Bertrand noticed teammate Cabral would line up behind him. "I knew if I didn't go, Randy would," he said. Bertrand grabbed the lead with no trouble while Cabral, who started eighth, battled Marvuglio for several laps before settling into third. It was, said Marvuglio "fun racing."
Stoehr, who suffered extensive damage in his heat on Saturday, passed Modified star Doug Coby in the third Bertrand Racing entry for fifth shortly after the restart. In the tightest competition of the event, Stoehr, Coby and seventh-place Bethany Stoehr (Stoehr 5b) were all within a half-second of each other.
Bertrand's Honda-powered Drinan was 2.4 seconds in front at the checkered. Anthony Marvuglio's #38 owned the fastest feature lap (13.019). That, however, paled compared to a 12.619 (106.982) posted in winning his heat on Saturday. Cabral had a 12.776 in winning his heat.
In practice on March 30, Bertrand turned a 12.8 but soon realized last weekend "it wasn't going to be fast enough." After Russ Stoehr turned a 12.664 and Cabral and John Zych were in the 12.7s, "I didn't stop working on the car all day. It turned out well."
While NEMA is now idle until the Boston Louie at Seekonk on June 2, Bertrand is preparing for the USAC "Night Before The 500" race at Indianapolis Raceway Park on May 25.
Tim Bertrand said he spent 26 hours in two days earlier in the week getting the car Doug Coby drove ready. The car lost a motor in practice on March 30. Bertrand gave much credit to Mike and Bobby Seymour for preparing and installing the new Autocrat engine. Expect Coby to be in the car again this summer. Lou Ciccone drove Adam Cantor's 7ny, the first of several guest drivers.
According to Bertrand, NEMA hasn't gone this fast at Waterford since 2008 when Randy Cabral was turning 12.6 laps..."At Waterford, the colder the track, the faster we go," said Randy Cabral. "When it's cold there is tons of grip. We will not be this fast in July and August."
The fastest lap in Sunday's 25-lap feature at Waterford Speedbowl's belonged to Anthony Marvuglio, at 13.019. Bertrand's 12.619 en route to victory in his heat on Saturday is now seen as the NEMA standard at the Speedbowl. "Last year we were all struggling to get in the 12.9s here," said Bertrand who came to Blast Off feeling confident after 12.8s in the practice session on March 30.
The newfound speed was the hot topic right from the start after Russ Stoehr's 12.664 lap in practice. "You've got to concentrate," said Stoehr. "There is not a lot of room for error at those speeds."A broken panhard bar was the culprit in Stoehr's heat crash on Saturday.
It was the maiden run for Bertrand's Honda-powered Drinan which, incidentally, is "totally different" from teammate Randy Cabral's Eslinger/Honda. The question 'who will be in the Bertrand 74 and Cantor 7ny?' adds some excitement to the 2013 NEMA season. Doug Coby, who drove the 74 to sixth on Sunday, will definitely drive it again. Lou Cicconi is a likely a returnee in either car. Modified standouts Ryan Preece and Keith Rocco are other probabilities.
"I remember hanging around with Greg and Tara Stoehr (Lakeville) before they were married," said Keith Botelho. "Now I am racing against their daughter Bethany." Botelho was filling in for Joey Payne Jr. in the Ed Breault #44. "My heart still goes thump, thump, thump when I put the helmet on," said Botelho who started racing stock cars in 1985. It was either 1988 or '89 he took his first Midget ride with Pete Pernesiglio.
Payne, who missed Blast Off because of a family commitment, will have a new car at NEMA's next race, the June 2 Boston Louie at Seekonk.
Louisville's Russ Smith and Michigan's Nik Stauskas, opponents in the NCAA basketball championship game, were classmates of Todd Bertrand at South Kent School. "They were both in my English class," said Bertrand, a soccer player at South Kent.
The "t" on Weymouth's Jim Miller's second car (driven by Lee Bundy) is for Miller's son Trevor who will soon be listed as the owner.

Reagan National Airport Loses Power at 2 Terminals
July 15 (Bloomberg) -- Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport lost power at two terminals, shutting down ticket counters and concession stands, a spokesman said.
The electricity went out at terminals B and C at about 11:45 a.m. local time, said Neal Phillips, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority. It's not clear when power will be restored, he said.
Passengers should contact their airlines for information on delays or cancelations, Phillips said by telephone, adding that he can't comment on which flights may be affected.
US Airways Group Inc. is holding back one shuttle flight to New York's LaGuardia airport and another to Boston, Valerie Wunder, a spokeswoman for the company, said by telephone.
While the airline has not yet canceled any flights, it may have to later today, she said.

letlive. Release New Video
I was hoping for a new song.
song's one of the best on the album but he's dressed like a poser I'd generally find in my school
Digging: Say Lou Lou - Lucid Dreaming
If you can sing like that, you can dress however you want.
he needs to jump in that river. would've been tighter. i'm pretty sure this is footage in public too because that flower girl is freaking out lol.
Though it's important to note that the video is pretty shit.
kerrang's been humping the shit out of these guys recently and I think they're a bad influence
Why the shit is a latin american looking dude who's kinda looks like a hipster wearing a fucking Bundeswehr jacket?!
Pretty good vid. They might have OD'd on the slowmo though. I think these guys should be obligated to play live in their videos.
Digging: Young Lions - Blue Isla
first time i've actually listened to this band.. i thought they were meant to be good?
That ruled imo. Never heard them before. Liked the song
"first time i've actually listened to this band.. i thought they were meant to be good?" they are
^Yeah. Check out "Muther"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAr0HwQkJ6s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY3YniYLxX0
just sounds like the generic post-hardcore everyone on this site (including me) hates
The guy was born to be a frontman.
"just sounds like the generic post-hardcore everyone on this site (including me) hates" just cos it has catchy choruses?
Amazing band shit video
i just found it incredibly underwhelming and uninteresting, might grow on me though
good song choice and decent video, but i saw production stills of a video shoot for muther on their fb page. i wonder what happened with that? its a shame too, it's the best song on fake history.
yeah I was expecting this to be the Muther video..what happened there? unless they're doing two at the same time
hollywood and she did renegade 86 casino columbus H. Ledger = best songs fuck muther not even that good of a song.
Renegade, Muther and Day 54 are the best songs
wait what.... that video was ridiculous....ly boring.... song is still amazing though
Homeless Jazz > every other song they've done. The acoustic bit owns so hard.
No love for Homeless Jazz up in here.
I just see muther (as well as day 54 in a close second) as the most inspired song on the album, I really can't think of a bad song on the album, they're all strong and catchy. I've been hyped on each one for some amount of time, muther and day 54 stick to me just a bit more. EDIT: I just looked at the tracklist again and realized every song was my first choice when driving somewhere for at least a week apiece. fuck, this band is so good.
Vid is meh. Band and song rule.
Digging: PINKSHINYULTRABLAST - Everything Else Matters
band name pisses me off
this song is definitely one of the weakest off the album, mostly due to the failed attempt at trying to write a catchy chorus. band and album are decent
I was copywriting books, what books you say? what books? I was copyrighting the record books oh ya.
"the failed attempt at trying to write a catchy chorus." what
ya its pretty darn tootin catch-a-rific
It's way to forced "here in the sun there's only fifteen minutes of fun" ugh....
Not a bad video at all, then again I cheese at the sight of JAB so my opinion doesn't matter.
I think the video is just for fun really. Love the song but I thought this news feed was going for a new song which made me sad it wasn't.
mother you know i'm sorry but sorry's pregnant with remorse All of their music videos should just be live footage. The second half of the video was much better.
amazing band, fun video, had a great time watching it. jason rules so hard.
Pretty cool. A "Muther" video would be cool.
lol that chick he kissed at 2:57 was not havin it
Digging: Marina and The Diamonds - Froot
I agree Academy.
I'd bang her just based on the voice.
why a new video for an album that came out almost 20 months ago?
haha they made a video for the weakest song on the album. well played.
I'm kind surprised I haven't seen Casino Columbus get any love yet. That song also kicks !@#$%^&*.
ugh this band
I'm kind surprised I haven't seen Casino Columbus get any love yet. That song also kicks !@#$%^&*
"good song choice and decent video, but i saw production stills of a video shoot for muther on their fb page. i wonder what happened with that? its a shame too, it's the best song on fake history." everyone was expecting that, so they're waiting IMO theory: they're pulling a GJ and trolling everyone
"The guy was born to be a frontman." Yup
Fucking hectic when the band joins in. Weirded out when Jason put his shirt over the mic.
Digging: Jeff Rosenstock - We Cool?
well that was terrible
he can't mime for shit
best songs are BY FAR homeless jazz and over being under
^ Over Being Under isn't that great I don't like Renegade so much Homeless Jazz, Muther, Day 54 and Casino Columbus are my favorites off the album. Haven't heard the extended stuff tho
kinda weird how he chose to kiss the ugliest/most scenefaggy girl in the front row (at 2:57)
"kinda weird how he chose to kiss the ugliest/most scenefaggy girl in the front row (at 2:57)" maybe cos he's jesus and loves everyone even the ugliest/most scenefaggy girls
letlive? more like let's leave
This is sweet.
Dont get the hype, sounds pretty average tbh.
^ This song IS pretty average. Get the album and listen from the beginning.
I have listened to fake history a few times now but nothing's really caught hold as of yet.
Band is amazing, Jason is definitely one of my top 3 favorite vocalists. I really don't think this is one of the weaker songs on the album, (not that the album has an songs that are really weak) I like it a lot. Video was fun, especially once they started showing live footage. Lol'd at shirt over the mic.
The album is killer! I've also met Jason before and this is definately him in his zone this video, he's such a great character! Damn they should have got footage of him crowd surfing of the balcony in Birmingham, that was just epic! But yeah, Muther is the best song on the album if this leaves you multiple impressions I'd check out that song before you make final judgements. These guys are brilliant.
hats off to you, letlive!
Amazing band. Very average video.
they have a lot of songs that i find my head bobbing to lmao like Homeless Jazz and Lemon Party

Of course all really "Needy" families are id'd by their being minority! Preferably black! Mexicans don't count! And Cadilac Escalades, 6 ft plasma TVs, lots of gold chains, X Box games, $700 cell phones, and the most expensive food SNAP can buy....It would be Racist to mention those! So....if a 5th generation welfare mother wanted to occupy that house with her current "babies Daddy" and her 9 children? Well!! the government should pay for it! Section 8 Baby! The left describes those as the really needy! Working class people looking for work, aren't considered "needy" by the liberals! "They should quickly get a job and support the really needy 5th generation welfare class".
Of course! All federal agents have been given total immunity for any taxpayers they might murder! No prosecutor will press charges. Just like police, never any charges brought! Sometimes a phantom "Grand Jury" exonerates them. Remember Janet Reno saying: "any federal employee can kill any citizen, any time, it's their RIGHT" That was in excusing Lon Horiuchi for murdering Randy's Weaver's wife! And the "federal Marshal" (Degan) murdering his 11 year old son! (that marshal has been made a hero for killing a child) "WHEN" Killery steals the Whitehouse, we will see more murders, remember Arkancide?
Presently the cattle are worth about $1200 each, X 352 = $422,400 How much is going into democrat campaign funds?
In response to:
They have the copywrite of the name!
In response to:
Feinstein has an assault FACE. Instead of launching a hundred ships...it sinks a nation!
OK, you asked! A gasolene engine is at best 50% efficient , An alternator is about 70% efficient, charging batteries varies from 25% to 60% efficient, an electric motor at 80% You can calculate the total losses! Versus Engine--transmission---wheels .
I'll bet you that Michael Brune doesn't run it in his Mercedes! He just wants YOU to have no other choice!
About BP and Israel.....I wonder if you can enlighten me about the reason why over a billion dollars of the "settlement money from BP" ended up in Israel? I didn't know that the spill extended that far?
Izzat the same reason that so many leftist "useful idiots" want us to continue to support the radical Muslim "Muslim Brotherhood" in taking over all governments and murdering everyone not of their sect?
You would like to forget that through Obama, using the taxpayers' money, The surviving Mau Mau murderers were given "Pensions" and settlements of thousands of American dollars? Of course the victims were the hated WHITE colonists! And that is all right with Obama and the liberals! Of which you are one?

Two Lines (and the Center for the Art of Translation as a whole) is one of the most impressive annual anthologies of literature in translation being published today. (Actually, most of those qualifiers can be eliminated: it's one of the best annual publications in the world.)
One of the reasons for the organization's success (in addition to a staff that includes Olivia Sears, Annie Janusch, and now Scott Esposito), are the amazing guest editors they get to work on the anthologies.
The next volume (the seventeenth) will be edited by translator Natasha Wimmer (one of the absolute best, most well known for 2666 and The Savage Detectives) and poet and translator Jeffrey Yang.
I'm convinced that they will put together one of the best Two Lines yet. And if you're a publisher or translator and want to submit something to the magazine, you should contact Annie Janusch at ajanusch at catranslation dot org before November 25th . . .
While I was at the AWP conference, a ton of interesting books arrived in our offices, all worth writing about. I'll try and cover more of these over the next few weeks, but for now, I thought I'd look at the three titles translated from Spanish that caught my eye.
Rex by Jose Manuel Prieto is one of the spring books that I'm most excited about. Prieto's first book — Nocturnal Butterflies of the Russian Empire — earned him comparisons to Vladimir Nabokov, and it sounds like Rex is working in that same vein, as a "sexy and zany literary game rife with allusions to Proust, Homer, Pushkin, and even Star Wars, set in a world of wealthy Russian expats and Mafiosos who have settled in Western Europe." I talked to Esther Allen at some point when she was working on this translation, and I remember her recommending it highly. Even from the first paragraph it's evident Prieto has a special command:
I've been reading it for years, the one Book. Over and over without stopping. Beginning again whenever I reach the final description of the vast party, the inaugural ball, returning immediately to the first words, when he's dozing off in the house in Combray and dreams of stopping time in its tracks, solidifying it. I've opened it at random in ship terminals (Helsinki), English pubs, Istanbul cafes. Each and every time, without fail, I've been stunned by the intelligence, the penetration, the unique capacity to perceive things that escape every other writer. Always the right words, flowing out miraculously, as if he never had to stop and think about them, as easily and naturally as someone randomly humming syllables, nonsense noises, tra-la-la-ing a tune.
It's thanks to Monica Carter that I recently found out about Scarletta Press. (That and the fact that the director came to the panel I was on at AWP.) A relatively young press, Scarletta is doing a couple of translations this season, including Ignacio Solares's Yankee Invasion, a historical novel about life in Mexico under U.S. rule. The novel is written as a memoir-in-process by an old Mexican man haunted by his experiences during the "Yankee Invasion." Carlos Fuentes wrote an introduction for this novel, and Solares is one of Mexico's most respected — and prolific — contemporary writers, so this should be worth checking out.
And speaking of contemporary Mexican writers, I also received a finished copy of the Best of Contemporary Mexican Fiction anthology that Dalkey Archive is putting out thanks to a National Endowment for the Arts cultural exchange project. Edited by Alvaro Uribe (with the translations edited by Olivia Sears), this volume collects stories from sixteen Mexican writers born after 1945, including Cristina Rivera-Garza, Rosa Beltran, Juan Villoro, Daniel Sada, Guillermo Samperio, and Hector Manjarrez. I've heard elsewhere that a lot of these stories are Bonsai-esque, and I've been waiting to read a number of these authors for years, so I have big hopes for this book. The only thing that sucks (aside from the fact that Open Letter couldn't apply for this project) is the interior design: I'm all for bilingual poetry collections, but printing prose on bilingual facing pages—especially when the text on the two pages in no way matches up—is sort of bizarre and hard to read. Probably would've been cooler to have the English in the front and Spanish in the back, and vice-versa for the Mexican edition.
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .

All I can say is it does exactly what it says on the tin.five star bed and breakfast and some more you have to see it to believe it
John and Alex were so welcoming . Breakfast was class. And we were even offered seconds.
Customer service is top notch. You are made to feel welcome, there is no real pressure at Ferndale. The team are flexible and friendly, with lots of local info. Passionate about service and food. Eat at the restaurant at least one night to enjoy food prepared by an experienced, professional chef. Excellent quality. Try contacting Ferndale by phone directly, before booking, they are happy to help out.
I had a not-great piece of bacon. That was the only thing I could find fault with!
The most comfy bed I've ever slept in, one of the best meals I've ever had, and the most helpful and friendly staff I've ever encountered. Don't let the slightly odd decorating put you off - you will not find a nicer place to stay. And it's not really a B&B as much as it's a boutique hotel. Amazing.
The only thing would be that Achill Island can be quiet at certain times of the year, so places to eat / drink are limited.
We stayed in the Venetian room on New Years Eve as a treat. We weren't disappointed. My partner who lives nearby, has been singing Ferndale's praises for a few years now without having stayed as an overnight guest, so it was time to experience it first hand. Jon's hosting skills were marvellous; as was his ability to translate some Germanic phrases we couldn't quite figure out. Forefathers, indeed - how right you are. Jon's offer for guidance on furniture restoration will be taken up. Dinner was an extravagance; mains interspersed with amuse-bouches, all of which tingled the taste buds. Breakfast on New Years Day broke my first resolution of the new year; I cleared my plate. Scrumptious. Now, I understand all the high scores and top notch reviews I've been reading and endorse them whole-heartedly.
Lighting to main entrance and Venetian room needs a little improvement. It's hard to see all the signage when darkness falls.
Friendly service,interesting and tasty breakfast menu,Chinese room was lovely.
Geat bed, great bath, by far the best breakfast I ever had... room was even better than the photos...
What an experience! John and staff at the Ferndale made our new years one we will never forget. The service is impeccable, the food was fabulous and our room was spotless. We had a gorgeous view to top it all off. Thanks John, we will be back for sure!
was great time,beatiful view from room,breakfast was amazing,i recommend 100%
Loved the themed rooms Selection of DVDs Friendly staff Great breakfast
Beautiful well designed Attention to detail Wonderful welcome
Couldn't fault it
the comfort,,the fact that it didn't seem like you were in a bed and breakfest. Don't be fooled by the title, it's a hotel with a difference, the two lads go out of their way for you. The food was amazing, a seven course dinner. The breakfest was like a five star hotel, not like your normal hotel never mind a bed and breakfest. A real gem, I will be back in the summer!
the weather!
The room was beautiful, cosy and comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious in a relaxed dining room, overlooking the waves on Keel beach. The substantial but healthy dinners are gourmet food at its best, We have to complement the consistently exceptional cooking,and were very pleased by the three lovely wines we tried. The whole house is brilliantly decorated for Halloween. Having prepaid the room, the food and wine bill was very reasonable for the standard cheerfully provided. We will be back.
Friendly helpful staff, fabulous rooms. Terrific breakfast.
The best B&B we've stayed in in Ireland. As an Irish couple we have stayed in a fair few. If you're staying, make sure to eat in the restaurant too because the food is outstanding. On top of all that it was cheap (September).
Comfortable, unique and large rooms. The shower was great. The staff were very nice. Perfect location. Breakfast was amazing.
Great, really welcoming hosts. The rooms we stayed in was spotlessly clean, spacious. I had the full Irish Breakfast and it was really good, the view from the bay windows overlooking Keem beach was magnificent and made it a spectacular breakfast. Would definitely stay again.
Everything. Be sure to give 24 hours notice and enjoy a superb dinner.
Nothing. Expectations exceeded.
Breakfast was really good with an excellent menu all prepared fresh. Rooms are a bit quirkey but very comfortable. We had the Chinese room with a super shower. Spotlessly clean. Excellent WiFi and great selection of TV programs. Staff were extremely friendly nothing was a bother.
There was nothing I didn't like about Ferndale.
Lovely hosts and lots of character. Fabulous views!
The rooms were beautifully decorated. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, we wish we had made dinner arrangements.
The air freshener in the bathroom was set to spray automatically at set intervals and it was overbearing! The stay would have been more comfortable without it.
Unique experience in every way,beautiful themed room with private entrance.Extraordinary menu with mouthwatering dishes similar to any 5 * hotel,breakfast to die for so many choices.Eggs benedict a delight.Warm hospitable helpful owner who caters for every need.Highly recommend.Will be back.Can't imagine any other establishment with 5* status living up to these standards.The ambiance,creativity and imagination that went into the loving formation of Ferndale was well worth it.A little piece of Heaven.
We just wish we could have stayed longer.Next time.Thanks for such a memorable experience
We received a great welcome, great interaction with owners, giving us a lot of information on the area. Delicious food. I would definitely recommend staying there...
the thought that went into the different themed rooms the excellent breakfast with plenty of choices.
we did not ask for a sea view and will do so the next time.
Loved everything about the Ferndale The room with sea view "breathtaking" The bed "so comfy" Dinner and Breakfast delicious . Jon and staff very professional warm and friendly . Will visit again .

Tucked away in a side street. Server was excellent, very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Good choice of beer and food was very nice. Makes a nice change from more formal restaurants.
