Ann Maguire: Teacher loved by generations of ex-pupils
A teacher stabbed to death at a school in Leeds was an "inspirational" and "caring" figure remembered by generations of her former pupils.
Ann Maguire, 61, who died on Monday, had taught at Corpus Christi Catholic College for more than 40 years.
She was attacked in front of her pupils as she taught a Year 11 Spanish class.
The Most Rev Malcolm McMahon, Archbishop-elect of Liverpool, said Mrs Maguire had given her life to the school and Catholic education.
"Start Quote
End Quote Marianna Proietti Ex-pupilShe gave me so much good advice to go forward with my life, and with my career and what I wanted to do"
"Thousands of young people have benefited from her kindness and hard work over many years," he said. "May she rest in peace."
Martin Dowling, chair of the governors at Corpus Christi, said Mrs Maguire was "a wonderful, dedicated teacher" who had touched the lives of many people in the local community.
The school's head, Steve Mort, said Mrs Maguire was "an outstanding teacher and leader", whose work at the school was a "vocation" rather than a career.
She taught three generations of pupils at the school, including some of the parents of her current pupils.
In all this time she put the needs of the children first, he said.
"She never gave up on pupils even at times when they may have given up on themselves."
Due to retireMrs Maguire, who lived in Leeds, joined Corpus Christi as a student teacher and stayed for more than four decades.
She was head of Year 11 at the school for more than 10 years.
This year she had been teaching four days a week and had been due to retire in September.
Mrs Maguire leaves a husband, Donald, who runs a landscape gardening business, and two adult daughters.
One of them is Emma Maguire, a soloist at the Royal Ballet.
Joseph Kilbride, from Otley, attended Corpus Christi between 2001 and 2006:
"Mrs Maguire was an amazing person to know and to have as a teacher. If there was ever a lesson I looked forward to, it was Spanish. Every lesson would be so much fun. I wanted to drop Spanish after I achieved a D grade in year 10 but I was forced to carry on and re-sit in year 11. This is now something I am grateful for as I had another year with Mrs Maguire. She pulled me up to achieve a B. She was like a mother away from home.
I used to get bullied and she would always be the one who stood up for me and looked out for me. She would always have a smile on her face and whoever she spoke to, she would make their day better. I remember bumping into her on a random day in Headingley and she remembered me and took time to speak to me and find out what I was doing and how my life was working out.
I went back to visit the school a couple of times and each time she was very friendly and welcoming and always encouraged me to come back and visit.
If you speak to anyone who went to Corpus Christi they would highlight her as the teacher they all loved. She would always ask how you were doing. I had one incident after school where I was cornered by a gang. Afterwards I went back inside the school office and Mrs Maguire was more angry at what happened than my own mother.
After I finished my GCSEs and went back to visit the school after I started college, Mrs Maguire was there and I made sure I got a photograph with her."
Mrs Maguire's other daughter, Kerry, used to be a ballerina but after seeking help from an osteopath for an injury retrained as an osteopath herself.
'Heart of the school'One of Mrs Maguire's former pupils, Marianna Proietti, said: "She was a pillar of the school but she was also an inspiration to so many students that went to Corpus Christi.
"She taught me religious education and Spanish - and also PE. And 30 years down the line I still remember her very fondly.
"And she gave me so much good advice to go forward with my life, and with my career and what I wanted to do."
Another former pupil, Kerianne Ayward, 17, said Mrs Maguire was "the heart of the school".
Joseph Kilbride, who attended Corpus Christi between 2001 and 2006, said she had always had a smile on her face and was "like a mother away from home".
"I used to get bullied and she would always be the one who stood up for me and looked out for me," he said.
Others called her "bubbly", "outgoing" and "very popular".
'The one we remembered'Rebecca Lister said she, her elder sisters, 29 and 27, and her younger sister, 21, were all former pupils.
"Mrs Maguire was the one teacher we all remembered," she said.
"I remember that Mrs Maguire turned up at my house one day because my sister didn't turn up to school for her exam. Mrs Maguire came to the house because she was worried about her."
Following Mrs Maguire's lessons, one of her sisters went on to become a Spanish teacher, she said.
Lucy Potter, a pupil of Mrs Maguire's in 2009, left a tribute for her teacher outside the school.
Part of it read: "You always believed in me and took the time and effort to make sure I achieved the best I could.
"I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you - such a caring woman who only wanted the best for each and every pupil."

Religion and mythology |
The Kurgan hypothesis (also theory or model) is one of the proposals about early Indo-European origins, which postulates that the people of an archaeological "Kurgan culture" (a term grouping the Yamna, or Pit Grave, culture and its predecessors) in the Pontic steppe were the most likely speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language. The term is derived from kurgan (курган), a Turkic loanword in Russian for a tumulus or burial mound. The hypothesis is one of several scenarios.[note 1][note 2]
The Kurgan hypothesis was first formulated in the 1950s by Marija Gimbutas, who defined the "Kurgan culture" as composed of four successive periods, with the earliest (Kurgan I) including the Samara and Seroglazovo cultures of the Dnieper/Volga region in the Copper Age (early 4th millennium BC). The bearers of these cultures were nomadic pastoralists, who, according to the model, by the early 3rd millennium BC expanded throughout the Pontic-Caspian steppe and into Eastern Europe.[1]
When it was first proposed in 1956, in The Prehistory of Eastern Europe, Part 1, Marija Gimbutas's contribution to the search for Indo-European origins was a pioneering interdisciplinary synthesis of archaeology and linguistics. The Kurgan model of Indo-European origins identifies the Pontic-Caspian steppe as the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) Urheimat, and a variety of late PIE dialects are assumed to have been spoken across the region. According to this model, the Kurgan culture gradually expanded until it encompassed the entire Pontic-Caspian steppe, Kurgan IV being identified with the Pit Grave culture of around 3000 BC.
While arguments for the identification of the Proto-Indo-Europeans as steppe nomads from the Pontic-Caspian region had already been made in the 19th century by Theodor Benfey and Otto Schrader,[2] the idea had never gained traction prior to Gimbutas, with most scholars favouring a Northern European origin instead, linking the Proto-Indo-Europeans to the Corded Ware culture. Gimbutas, who acknowledges Schrader as a precursor,[3] was able to marshal a wealth of archaeological evidence from the territory of the Soviet Union (and other then-communist countries) not readily available to scholars from western countries,[4] enabling her to achieve a fuller picture of prehistoric Europe.
The mobility of the Kurgan culture facilitated its expansion over the entire Pit Grave region, and is attributed to the domestication of the horse and later the use of early chariots.[note 3] The first strong archaeological evidence for the domestication of the horse comes from the Sredny Stog culture north of the Azov Sea in Ukraine, and would correspond to an early PIE or pre-PIE nucleus of the 5th millennium BC.[note 3]
Subsequent expansion beyond the steppes led to hybrid, or in Gimbutas's terms "kurganized" cultures, such as the Globular Amphora culture to the west. From these kurganized cultures came the immigration of Proto-Greeks to the Balkans and the nomadic Indo-Iranian cultures to the east around 2500 BC.
Gimbutas defined and introduced the term "Kurgan culture" in 1956 with the intention to introduce a "broader term" that would combine Sredny Stog II, Pit-Grave and Corded ware horizons (spanning the 4th to 3rd millennia in much of Eastern and Northern Europe).[note 4] The model of a "Kurgan culture" postulates cultural similarity between the various cultures of the Copper Age to Early Bronze Age (5th to 3rd millennia BC) Pontic-Caspian steppe to justify the identification as a single archaeological culture or cultural horizon. The eponymous construction of kurgans is only one among several factors. As always in the grouping of archaeological cultures, the dividing line between one culture and the next cannot be drawn with any accuracy and will be open to debate.
Cultures that Gimbutas considered as part of the "Kurgan Culture":
David Anthony considers the term "Kurgan Culture" so lacking in precision as to be useless. He points out that "The Kurgan culture was so broadly defined that almost any culture with burial mounds, or even (like the Baden culture) without them could be included." He therefore does not use the term and discusses instead the core Yamna Culture and its relationship with other cultures.[5] He does not include the Maikop culture among those that he considers to be IE-speaking, presuming instead that they spoke a Caucasian language.[6]
Gimbutas' original suggestion identifies four successive stages of the Kurgan culture:
There were three successive proposed "waves" of expansion:
The term "kurganized" used by Gimbutas implied that the culture could have been spread by no more than small bands who imposed themselves on local people as an elite. This idea of the IE language and its daughter-languages diffusing east and west without mass movement has proved popular with archaeologists. However, geneticists have opened up the possibility that these languages spread with mass movement.
Geneticists have noted the correlation of a specific haplogroup R1a1a defined by the M17 (SNP marker) of the Y chromosome and speakers of Indo-European languages in Europe and Asia. The connection between Y-DNA R-M17 and the spread of Indo-European languages was first proposed by Zerjal and colleagues in 1999.[7] and subsequently supported by other authors.[8] Spencer Wells deduced from this correlation that R1a1a arose on the Pontic-Caspian steppe.[9]
Subsequent studies on ancient DNA tested the hypothesis. Skeletons from the Andronovo culture horizon (strongly supposed to be culturally Indo-Iranian) of south Siberia were tested for DNA. Of the 10 males, 9 carried Y-DNA R1a1a (M17). Fairly close matches were found between the ancient DNA STR haplotypes and those in living persons in both eastern Europe and Siberia.[10] Mummies in the Tarim Basin also proved to carry R1a1a and were presumed to be ancestors of Tocharian speakers.[11]
A study published in 2012 states that "R1a1a7-M458 was absent in Afghanistan, suggesting that R1a1a-M17 does not support, as previously thought, expansions from the Pontic Steppe, bringing the Indo-European languages to Central Asia and India."[12] However, this study does not in any way conflict with the hypothesis of expansions from the Pontic Steppe, since the study does not take into account the early wave of the Indo-European speaking people. Even today the R1a1a7-M458 are very rare, almost absent, in the area of the proposed Indo-European origins between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea; the R1a1a7-M458 marker first started in Poland 10,000 years ago (KYA), and arrived in the western fringes of the Pontic steppe 5,000 years ago and the eastern fringes only 2,500 years ago, while the first Indo-European wave (4500–4000 BC Early PIE) began up to 4,000 years before this.[13]
The DNA testing of remains from kurgans also indicated a high prevalence of people with characteristics such as blue (or green) eyes, fair skin and light hair, implying an origin close to Europe for this population.[14]
Several 4,600 year-old human remains at a Corded Ware site in Eulau, Germany, were also found to belong to haplogroup R1a1a.[15]
The Kurgan hypothesis describes the initial spread of Proto-Indo-European during the 5th and 4th millennia BC.[16] The question of further Indo-Europeanization of Central and Western Europe, Central Asia and Northern India during the Bronze Age is beyond its scope, far more uncertain than the events of the Copper Age, and subject to some controversy.
The Anatolian languages are a family of extinct Indo-European languages that were spoken in Asia Minor (ancient Anatolia), the best attested of them being the Hittite language. The Maykop culture (also spelled Maikop), ca. 3700 BC—3000 BC,[17] was a major Bronze Age archaeological culture in the Western Caucasus region of Southern Russia. The Hittites were an ancient Anatolian people who established an empire at Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around 1600 BC. This empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Suppiluliuma I, when it encompassed an area that included most of Asia Minor as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia. After c. 1180 BC, the empire came to an end during the Bronze Age collapse, splintering into several independent "Neo-Hittite" city-states, some of which survived until the 8th century BC.
The European Funnelbeaker and Corded Ware cultures have been described as showing intrusive elements linked to Indo-Europeanization, but recent archaeological studies have described them in terms of local continuity, which has led some archaeologists to declare the Kurgan hypothesis "obsolete".[18] However, it is generally held unrealistic to believe that a proto-historic people can be assigned to any particular group on basis of archaeological material alone.[19]
The Corded Ware culture has always been important in locating Indo-European origins. The German archaeologist Alexander Häusler was an important proponent of archeologists that searched for homeland evidence here. He sharply criticised Gimbutas' concept of 'a' Kurgan culture that mixes several distinct cultures like the pit-grave culture. Häusler's criticism mostly stemmed from a distinctive lack of archeological evidence until 1950 from what was then the East Bloc, from which time on plenty of evidence for Gimbutas's Kurgan hypothesis was discovered for decades.[20] He was unable to link Corded Ware to the Indo-Europeans of the Balkans, Greece or Anatolia, and neither to the Indo-Europeans in Asia. Nevertheless, establishing the correct relationship between the Corded Ware and Pontic-Caspian regions is still considered essential to solving the entire homeland problem.[21]
From the Pontic Steppe Indo-European people moved east, where they founded the Sintashta culture and the Andronovo culture. The Sintashta culture, also known as the Sintashta-Petrovka culture[22] or Sintashta-Arkaim culture,[23] is a Bronze Age archaeological culture of the northern Eurasian steppe on the borders of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, dated to the period 2100–1800 BCE.[24] The Andronovo culture is a collection of similar local Bronze Age Indo-Iranian cultures that flourished ca. 1800–1400 BCE in western Siberia and the west Asiatic steppe. It is probably better termed an archaeological complex or archaeological horizon. The name derives from the village of Andronovo (55°53′N 55°42′E / 55.883°N 55.700°E), where in 1914, several graves were discovered, with skeletons in crouched positions, buried with richly decorated pottery.
From these cultures further migrations went further east, to found the Afanasevo culture, and the Tocharian languages formerly spoken by Tocharian peoples in oases on the northern edge of the Tarim Basin (now part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China). The Indo-Iranian branch went south, forming the Iranian people and the Indo-Aryan migration into India. Closely related to the Indo-Aryans were the Mitanni, who founded a kingdom in the Middle East.
Gimbutas believed that the expansions of the Kurgan culture were a series of essentially hostile, military incursions where a new warrior culture imposed itself on the peaceful, matriarchal cultures of "Old Europe", replacing it with a patriarchal warrior society,[25] a process visible in the appearance of fortified settlements and hillforts and the graves of warrior-chieftains:
In her later life, Gimbutas increasingly emphasized the violent nature of this transition from the Mediterranean cult of the Mother Goddess to a patriarchal society and the worship of the warlike Thunderer (Zeus, Dyaus), to a point of essentially formulating feminist archaeology. Many scholars who accept the general scenario of Indo-European migrations proposed, maintain that the transition was likely much more gradual and peaceful than suggested by Gimbutas. The migrations were certainly not a sudden, concerted military operation, but the expansion of disconnected tribes and cultures, spanning many generations. To what degree the indigenous cultures were peacefully amalgamated or violently displaced remains a matter of controversy among supporters of the Kurgan hypothesis.
JP Mallory (in 1989) accepted the Kurgan hypothesis as the de facto standard theory of Indo-European origins, but he recognizes valid criticism of Gimbutas' radical scenario of military invasion:
One might at first imagine that the economy of argument involved with the Kurgan solution should oblige us to accept it outright. But critics do exist and their objections can be summarized quite simply – almost all of the arguments for invasion and cultural transformations are far better explained without reference to Kurgan expansions, and most of the evidence so far presented is either totally contradicted by other evidence or is the result of gross misinterpretation of the cultural history of Eastern, Central, and Northern Europe."[27]
Frederik Kortlandt in 1989 proposed a revision of the Kurgan model.[28] He states the main objection which can be raised against Gimbutas' scheme (e.g., 1985: 198) is that it starts from the archaeological evidence and looks for a linguistic interpretation. Starting from the linguistic evidence and trying to fit the pieces into a coherent whole, he arrives at the following picture: The territory of the Sredny Stog culture in the eastern Ukraine he calls the most convincing candidate for the original Indo-European homeland. The Indo-Europeans who remained after the migrations to the west, east and south (as described by Mallory 1989) became speakers of Balto-Slavic, while the speakers of the other satem languages would have to be assigned to the Pit Grave horizon, and the western Indo-Europeans to the Corded Ware horizon. Returning to the Balts and the Slavs, their ancestors should be correlated to the Middle Dnieper culture. Then, following Mallory (197f) and assuming the origin of this culture to be sought in the Sredny Stog, Yamnaya and Late Tripolye cultures, he proposes the course of these events corresponds with the development of a satem language which was drawn into the western Indo-European sphere of influence.
Renfrew (1999: 268) holds that mounted warriors appear in Europe only as late as 1000 BC and these could in no case have been "Gimbutas's Kurgan warriors" predating the facts by some 2,000 years. Mallory (1989, p.136) enumerates linguistic evidence pointing to PIE period employment of horses in paired draught, something that would not have been possible before the invention of the spoked wheel and chariot, normally dated after about 2500 BC.[29]
According to Krell (1998), Gimbutas' homeland theory is completely incompatible with the linguistic evidence. Krell compiles lists of items of flora, fauna, economy, and technology that archaeology has accounted for in the Kurgan culture and compares it with lists of the same categories as reconstructed by traditional historical-Indo-European linguistics. Krell finds major discrepancies between the two, and underlines the fact that we cannot presume that the reconstructed term for 'horse', for example, referred to the domesticated equid in the protoperiod just because it did in later times. It could originally have referred to a wild equid, a possibility that would "undermine the mainstay of Gimbutas's arguments that the Kurgan culture first domesticated the horse and used this new technology to spread to surrounding areas."[30][29]
Kathrin Krell (1998) finds that the terms found in the reconstructed Indo-European language are not compatible with the cultural level of the Kurgans. Krell holds that the Indo-Europeans had agriculture whereas the Kurgan people were "just at a pastoral stage" and hence might not have had sedentary agricultural terms in their language, despite the fact that such terms are part of a Proto-Indo-European core vocabulary.[29]
Krell (1998), "Gimbutas' Kurgans-PIE homeland hypothesis: a linguistic critique", points out that the Proto-Indo-European had an agricultural vocabulary and not merely a pastoral one. As for technology, there are plausible reconstructions suggesting knowledge of navigation, a technology quite atypical of Gimbutas' steppe-centered Kurgan society. Krell concludes that Gimbutas seems to first establish a Kurgan hypothesis, based on purely archaeological observations, and then proceeds to create a picture of the PIE homeland and subsequent dispersal which fits neatly over her archaeological findings. The problem is that in order to do this, she has had to be rather selective in her use of linguistic data, as well as in her interpretation of that data.[29][30]

Wendy's Pursues a Delicate Balance
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of fast-food giant Wendy's (WEN - Get Report) are still struggling to find solid footing ever since Morgan Stanley analyst, John Glass, lowered his rating on the stock to "Underweight" from "Equal-weight" on March 1.
While setting a $5.00 price target, Glass suggested that the company's restructuring efforts may take longer than investors expect. However, it would seem the company's actually on schedule. And if fourth-quarter earnings serve as indication, Wendy's plan to be "A Cut Above" should produce gains above what the Street expects.
Change We Can Believe In
It wasn't that long ago that Wendy's was fighting for an identity. Despite its strong tradition of offering good food at competitive prices, the company could never overcome the dominance of McDonald's (MCD). And things got heated when Chipotle (CMG) began to sizzle in the premium quick-service restaurant (QSR) segment. Wendy's was stuck in limbo. It could not beat McDonald's or Burger King (BKW) on price and brand competition. But it viewed itself as "A Cut Above."
From there, after years of underinvestment, the company decided on a program to remodel its stores to better compete with the likes of Panera (PNRA) and Chipotle. But it's not a new idea. McDonald's went through the same change years ago with its U.S.-based restaurants. And it's been successful to the extent that McDonald's is now considering doing the same on a global scale.
To that end, Wendy's recently said that it plans to remodel 20% of its U.S. restaurants by 2015. Out of the 6,500 locations that it has in North America, that means 1,300 stores will get facelifts. That's a pretty aggressive goal, which will require significant capital. The question, though, is how well can Wendy's convince the Street that revitalization efforts can boost traffic and profit margins? Morgan Stanley doesn't think it can -- at least not at the pace to support a higher valuation. Granted, the company has not shown the innovative prowess of McDonald's. However, fourth-quarter earnings, which beat Street estimates by 1 cent a share, suggest that Wendy's is doing well enough. And although Glass cited stronger competition from McDonald's and Burger King as reason for the downgrade, Wendy's still posted in-line revenue.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Denver's Mona Denton didn't get her due for pitching in professional baseball
Posted By Joey Bunch On December 10, 2012 @ 11:48 am In Celebrities,History,Misc.,Sports,Uncategorized | 1 Comment
There's no crying in baseball, at least not for Mona Denton. She is not in a league of her own, but she is pretty darn close. Denton is one of a very small handful of Colorado-born players to be memorialized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. The only man from Colorado was also a pitcher, Rich "Goose" Gossage [2], who was born in Colorado Springs in 1951. (Former Rocky Mountain News columnist Tracy Ringolsby received the hall's J. G. Taylor Spink Award [3] in 2005.)
In 1988, Denton and roughly 600 other players in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League were added to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in a permanent exhibit, "Women in Baseball." [4]
At least two women from Colorado played in the league. The other was catcher Lucille "Lou" Colacito [5], who was featured in a lengthy profile in the Rocky Mountain News in 1992 when the movie "A League of Their Own" [6] came out. She The article called Colacito Colorado's only female professional baseball player, but the story was appended with a correction the next day mentioning Denton, but it gave no other details of her career. Colacito died in 1998, and a another Rocky story called noted she was an inductee into the Colorado Amateur Softball Association Hall of Fame, In 1993 Colacito she was invited to speak at a symposium on baseball in Cooperstown. Unfortunately and unfairly, neither Denton nor Colacito are among the 216 inductees in the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame [7] for their participation in the major women's league.
Denton's winding road to the hall began when she was born in Englewood on New Year's Day 1922, but it's doubtful she could have made the journey into baseball history on the strength of her record on the mound. She was saddled with one of the worst records of any hurler who recorded a win the league's 12-season run from 1943 to 1954.
For two years, in 1946 and 1947, the right-hander from the Mile High City had one win against 11 losses. The first season Denton made just three appearances and pitched 13 innings, giving up 15 runs against two strikeouts, for the South Bend Blue Sox [9]. The next season, she got intp 23 games for the Kenosha Comets, [10] who finished in last place among eight teams with a 43-69 record. Denton gave up 75 runs against 20 strikeouts, and the next season she was out of baseball. Denton batted a career .200 average, better than the .179 and .121 Colacito batted for the Comets in 1944 and 1945.
Denton died 17 years ago, as privately as she lived after her pro baseball career ended. Other than the correction in the Rocky Mountain News 20 years ago, the only published account of Denton's baseball career was her obituary that was published in The Denver Post on Sept. 13, 1995. It was short and included information that conflicts with the league's records: "Mona Denton of Denver, a retired nurse's aide, died Sept. 2. She was 73. There was cremation. She was born Jan. 1, 1922, in Englewood. A pitcher for the South Bend Blue Sox from 1944 to 1946, she is a member of the Women's Baseball Hall of Fame."
Public records show her home was in the 1800 block of South Newton Street in Denver, still a modest house today that sold for $135,000 earlier this year. Efforts to reach possible relatives the past two weeks turned up dead ends and unreturned phone calls, and neighbors on her street did not remember her last week. What a pity.
The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was the idea of chewing gum magnate and Chicago Cubs owner Phil Wrigley [12] in 1942, as men were going off to fight World War II, filling a void for sports entertainment in minor league baseball markets. Scouts invited outstanding softball players from across the country to the first spring training at Wrigley Field in Chicago on May 17. 1943. The pay and chance to see the country were attractive, at a time when the average income for men nationally was $48 a week, but much less in some parts of the country, while such opportunities for women were few. Many, if not most, women of the day earned the minimum wage of $12 a week.
"In many cases they were making more than their parents who had skilled occupations," according to the league's official history [13]. "Salaries ranged from $45 to $85 a week plus. Those who were signed not only had to be highly skilled players, they also had to comply with high moral standards and rules of conduct imposed by the League."

text: This townhome renovation was a near gut and a rewarding hands on collaboration between Client and Designer. Our Client purchased this 1990s townhome prepared to dive in on a full blown renovation. The dream was to update and open the space and turn it into a home. Structural, electrical, and plumbing changes were all made, along with a complete gut of the Kitchen and Bathrooms. New finishes were applied (hardwood, tile, cabinetry, hardware, base and trim, paint and wallcoverings, lighting and plumbing fixtures, amongst others) and new furniture purchased.

Just my newest stuff as it comes out. You never know what'll pop up between classwork, personal work, and commissions. |
Just my newest stuff as it comes out. You never know what'll pop up between classwork, personal work, and commissions. |
I work in both traditional and digital mediums, everything from simple sketches to fully digital coloring.
I have a full range of traditional mediums, paints and watercolor to pencils and markers.
Digitally I use Paint tool SAI, Photoshop and Manga Studio 5.
In my body of work I have both manga/anime style and semi-realistic
I welcome most commissions but I have a few rules. I do not draw furry or creature art; creatures such as naga and mermaids, for example, are perfectly fine; as are anthros such as cat girls and boys. Mature work is allowed but on a case by case basis and there is a fee and proof of age is required.
My commission information. I just graduated college and need help making ends meet. |
Select drawings, though some not the greatest, from my Life Drawing class. Most are gestures we made as warm ups. Also included are contour, planes, and skeleton and muscle studies. May also include independent work as I make it. Anything in this folder is free to use as a reference. If you want to use it for a published work I want to know first and receive credentials. |
Mostly showcasing some story projects of mine. I've been working on the oldest one since I was 12 or 13. The next one is a sort of revival of something I tried doing at 10 or 11. Feel free to talk with me! I'm also usually open for commission. Tumblr a0ka0ne.tumblr.com/ |

Mary Landrieu visits coal plants, opposes new EPA regulations
New Rho — Louisiana has a lot of coal burning plants that employ a lot of workers, and they keep our energy prices among the lowest in the country.
New EPA regulations aim to cut emissions by at least 30 percent, but how does that affect our state?
Senator Mary Landrieu doesn't support the regulations. She says congress should set laws, and the EPA taking control is an overreach.
Landrieu says these new regulations could jeopardize our chance of becoming energy independent.
"The goal for me is not clean. It's an important part of the equation, but it's not the goal. The goal is independence. The goal is security. The goal is reliability, and then also, as clean as possible," said Landrieu.
Landrieu calls this an "economic" issue because 75 percent of our electricity comes from coal, and these new regulations could hurt our quest to stop relying on foreign oil.

Though there's no true "classic" style of coffee cake, this one seemed to remind us most of the coffee cake our moms used to—or still do—make (in fact, this recipe came from a CHOW staffer's mom). A mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and nuts is ground fine and layered into a rich, buttery batter that includes a hearty hit of sour cream for a little tang. Once baked, this tall, lightly textured cake can be enjoyed with coffee or tea for Sunday brunch or made ahead for a grab-and-go weekday breakfast.
This recipe was featured as part of our Crunchy, Swirly, and Yeasty Coffee Cakes for Mother's Day.
- 1Place the pecans in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 4 to 5 (1-second) pulses. Add the remaining ingredients and process until very fine and the texture of wet sand, about 30 seconds; set aside.
For the cake:
- 1Heat the oven to 325°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 9-by-9-inch metal baking pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess; set aside.
- 2Sift the measured flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
- 3Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until lightened in color and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, letting the first completely incorporate before adding the second. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula.
- 4Add the sour cream and vanilla, turn the mixer to medium speed, and continue beating until just incorporated, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle.
- 5Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix until just incorporated.
- 6Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the nut mixture. Dollop the remaining batter over the nut mixture and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture and gently press it into the batter.
- 7Bake until a cake tester or toothpick comes out dry with a few crumbs attached, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

For the third time this week, I sit down to plan my son's third birthday. The task seems much larger than a simple party for a handful of toddlers, particularly if I spend any time at all on Pinterest or inspiration blogs. But this giant, looming job of preparing to feed and entertain children has to be done, and quickly, because his birthday is in a few short weeks.

ColoradoChuck commented on the blog post Obama's Osawatomie Speech Attempts a Populist Rebranding
Ah, sing, sweet-siren, but I will no longer be seduced. For you see, I have become immune to the thrill of your populist vigor on the stump, your oh-so-passionate claims that you are one of us.
You are not. You are a hack. You are in the bag for the 1%. And you prove it with your actions seemingly every week.
I have not yet chosen my write-in candidate, but I will, if only to show the Democratic Party that I will never again be taken by a broken promise-maker. They deserve a lesson, and I'm afraid they are going to get another one.
And that breaks my heart all the more. Oh, how thoroughly you have eff-ed the hopes of this country….

(Whoops–though the Obamabots may have a loose grip on reality, there is no excuse for misspelling lose.)
ColoradoChuck commented on the blog post Capitulation on Ozone Much Worse When You Learn the Context
No, because America and Americans are definitely going to loose if they keep voting–straight party line–for corporatists, anti-environmentalists, pro-war-ists, and anti-middle-classists. Which describes all Republicans, and a growing number of Democrats–at least those who could exert the needed pressure against such groups.
"Shut-up and take the abuse" may feel good, but it will not save this democracy, or this planet.
Memo to the Democrats: if you want me to vote for you, put up someone worth voting for.
I'd sign off as idealist, but I've already reached my -ist limit.
ColoradoChuck commented on the blog post Capitulation on Ozone Much Worse When You Learn the Context
Ah, the BBB.
Better Business Barry.
Now this tool is trying to kill me, as I have asthma. I don't miss work because it, but I can imagine many do, and isn't it a "productivity killer" when people can't breathe well enough to do their jobs? (Oh, right, what jobs?)
No D next time; no R anytime. I'm going with the Greens the next cycle.
ColoradoChuck commented on the blog post Obama Begins Re-Election Campaign with Far Less Partisan Support Than George W. Bush Had in 2003
If we reward Democratic Corporatism and anti-middle class actions (not talk, not promises, but actual committee and floor votes), then absolutely nothing will change. Voting for Obama again is not only rewarding bad behavior, but perpetuating it, because the Powers That Be will not have a reason to change. I am done with any politician that does not support liberalism, the New Deal, the middle class. No Republicans support these. They will NEVER get my vote. But a D next to a name will not get it by default. Our senators here in CO are corporatists. Looks like our new governor is anti-union. And Obama isn't worth the spit hacked at his reelection sign.
I am not saying I would never vote for them again. But they are going to have to change for me–not the other way around. If there is a Green or other Independent that shares my views, they will get my time, treasure, and vote (working up a Green or Independent local representation is the best I can think of.)
Support just like any individual Dem might get. But I will be gawddammed if I vote for anyone again who purports to share my views, then votes or writes policy against them.
Doing so might slow down the decimation of our country, but its decimation will be assured nevertheless. Our only hope for our long term preservation is if enough people wake up and force a change–as painful as that might be in the relatively short term.
Am I in? In a 30 foot hole of elk shit? Like the rest of America? Damn right I am. I'm just not ready to support any increase of its depth–no matter what its rate if increase is.
ColoradoChuck commented on the blog post Vote for Obama in 2012 Because… He's Obama
I'm a refugee from the sham that is Daily Kosbama as well, Paoloon, where any criticism of Beloved Barry is met with scorn. The hell with them, and the hell with Obama. I will not support any further the lesser of two evils. Hell, I'm not even sure the dems are the lesser anymore. Perhaps the "fewer" of two sets of evil–at best. Uh, oh–looks like military trials are back on the table, so I better hold my tongue.

Key Events In The History Of Eastman Kodak Co.
The Associated Press
Kodak postpones an auction of its imaging patent portfolios, though negotiations continue as it looks to sell the patents as it tries to emerge from bankruptcy protection. Here are key events in the history of Eastman Kodak Co.:
1880 â¿¿ George Eastman begins commercial production of dry plates for photography in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y.
1888 â¿¿ The name "Kodak" is born and the Kodak camera is marketed with the slogan, "You press the button, we do the rest."
1889 â¿¿ The Eastman Co. is formed, taking over the assets of the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Co. 1892 â¿¿ The company becomes Eastman Kodak Company of New York. 1900 â¿¿ The first Brownie camera is introduced. Selling for $1 and using film that costs 15 cents a roll, it brings hobby photography within financial reach. 1929 â¿¿ The company introduces its first motion picture film. 1935 â¿¿ Kodachrome film is introduced and becomes the first commercially successful amateur color film. 1951 â¿¿ The low-priced Brownie 8mm movie camera is introduced, followed by Brownie movie projector in 1952. 1962 â¿¿ The company's U.S. consolidated sales exceed $1 billion for the first time. Its work force tops 75,000. 1963 â¿¿ Kodak introduces a line of easy-to-use Instamatic cameras with cartridge-loading film (selling more than 50 million by 1970). 1972 â¿¿ Five pocket-size Instamatic cameras that use smaller cartridges are launched. More than 25 million cameras sell in less than three years. 1975 â¿¿ Kodak invents the world's first digital camera. The toaster-size prototype captures black-and-white images at a resolution of 10,000 pixels (.01 megapixels). 1981 â¿¿ Company sales surpass the $10 billion revenue mark. The next year, hometown payroll peaks at 60,400. 1984 â¿¿ Kodak enters the video market with the Kodavision Series 2000 8mm video system and introduces Kodak videotape cassettes in 8mm, Beta and VHS formats, along with a line of floppy disks for computers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Grand Hirafu ski area is the biggest resort in the Niseko United area and also includes the Hanazono ski area. The Hirafu village has the biggest selection of accommodation, restaurants and nightlife in the Niseko area and most visitors choose to stay here. As a result uploading can be a little slow on busy days or if wind closures limit the amount of lifts open. Hirafu offers a wide variety of terrain with a little something for everyone from groomers, open powder up high and excellent tree skiing on the lower mountain. At night time Hirafu is the place to be with lifts running until 9:00pm daily allowing access to 2/3 of the mountain's vertical even after the day time lifts have closed. A massive lighting system and steady snowfalls often make for epic night time powder skiing for anyone who decides to skip dinner. Hanazono is home to the well known Strawberry Fields zone with countless powder mushrooms and outcroppings dotting the pitch. Hanazono also offers Niseko's biggest and best maintained park. Grand Hirafu permits entry into the backcountry including access to the peak via a series of gates located on the ski area boundaries. Ski patrol controls access to these areas and will close the gates if snow stability is poor and avalanches are likely. Check out the Niseko Rules for details. If you do choose to enter these areas, please remember that this is backcountry terrain, there is no patrol, no avalanche control and no signage to tell you where to go and how to get home. Anyone entering the backcountry should carry all the essential rescue equipment (beacon, probe, shovel) and have appropriate knowledge in avalanche safety and route finding. Alternatively there are a number of backcountry guiding services available in the Niseko area that can safely take you out of bounds. Grand Hirafu is connected to the other resorts of the Niseko United area (Niseko Village and Annupurri) at the top of the mountain and via a shuttle bus system (transport is free with an All Mountain Lift Pass. Tickets can be purchased for either the entire United area or just Grand Hirafu.
Resorts close to Niseko Hirafu include: Niseko Village (3 km), Niseko Hanazono Resort (4 km), Niseko Annupuri (5 km), Niseko Moiwa (6 km), Niseko Weiss (6 km),

Earlier today, Mashable.com posted a brilliant article called 'The 13 Weirdest Interview Questions You'll Hear in 2014'. The list lives up to its title. We at IrishCentral decided we'd do our best to answer them. We're pretty pleased with our answers and we can't see how anyone wouldn't hire us.
1. "Are you more of a hunter or a gatherer?" - Dell
To be honest, I'm neither. I just walk to the nearest fast food joint like anyother human in 2014.
2. "What is your least favorite thing about humanity?" - ZocDoc
Easy. Sociopaths.
3. "If you could throw a parade of any caliber through the Zappos office, what type of parade would it be?" - Zappos
C'mon. Really? What do you think? Here's a hint, it's in March.
4. "How many square feet of pizza are eaten in the U.S. each year?" - Goldman Sachs
Not enough.
5. "It's Thursday; we're staffing you on a telecommunications project in Calgary, Canada, on Monday. Your flight and hotel are booked; your visa is ready. What are the top five things you do before you leave?" - ThoughtWorks
Wait. It's Thursday?
6. "Have you ever been on a boat?" - Applied Systems
My uncle's a fisherman, so I feel very comfortable and natural on them.
7. "Describe to me the process and benefits of wearing a seatbelt." - Active Network
Ha! Don't need one. I've got a horse outside.
8. "How does the Internet work?" - Akamai
It's a box with a blinking red light. It works so long as you don't drop it or venture too far off.
It would help me get tips.
10. "Why is a tennis ball fuzzy?" - Xerox
Technically, tradition and also more control. It's the smell that we can't figure out.
11. "Can you instruct someone how to make an origami 'cootie catcher' with just words?" - LivingSocial
Yeah. Look it's so easy even the French can make it. (Which explains why kids make them, or used to. Now there's an app for that).
12. "How honest are you?" - Allied Telesis
13. "If you were on an island and could only bring three things, what would you bring?" - Yahoo
I'd only need two things. Sun screen and whatever this thing is.

I just bought the same model and plan to install a DLE-30.
A guy at the field has an ESM Dauntless with the DLE-30 and it's WAY plenty power. I have a DLE-30 in a 1/4 scale Sig Cub which is pretty heavy to boot and it's way too much power, even with 105 inch span - to fly it like a Cub anyway. But it gets off the runway pretty nicely. A DLE-30 is plenty for the ESM 74" Corsair. I don't anticipate any fitment problems in the cowl. |

I have the ESM P-47 with the DLE30 in it, very good combination, good buzz power for that size model, the standard muffler is only a redirection device, there are Pitts style mufflers that work a lot better. the standard muffler fitted inside the cowl on the 47, all I did was to slightly tilt the engine so the exhaust came out at the bottom, I use a JXF brand prop, 19x8 works well. find a thread about the model, ESM only have a guess at what the CofG should be, usually WAY too far back, (tail heavy) the recommended throws are only good if you like 3D style flying, also an ESM guess. I have 2 ESM Models, both good kits, fly well, but the 47 is by far the best to fly. Oldtimer |

I am going to use the Sierras I had in my H9 Hellcat on the ESM Corsair. They are the best. Same rotating retract design and for the same approximate weight and size model. I had nothing but trouble with the Hellcat retracts till I gutted up and bought the Sierras. Man, they are the best.

I'd put a Mintor 33 on it. In that airframe the engine is going to be visible and you need eye candy.
http://www.topdawgaviation.com/Engin.../33cc/33cc.php Its also shorter than many of the others, including the DLE 30. http://www.mintor.net/pagine/documenti.html I have the Mintor 55 and can assure you that the motors are works of art! And the price is close, too $300 vs $325 for the DLE vs Mintor. At least thats how I'd look at it. |

How to test?
Prepare Your System
- Tests requiring physical media (e.g. DVD or CD images) -- F-15-Alpha RC2.
- Unless otherwise noted, you may use nightly Fedora 15 branch install images. Review for information on downloading and installing Branched.
- Optionally, you may download a non-destructive Fedora 15 live image for your architecture. Tips on using a live image are available at FedoraLiveCD. Live images can be found here.

Nice to test
Bugs you might hit or additional situations that are nice to test:
Test Results
Construct a table or list to allow testers to post results. Each column should be a test case or configuration, and each row should consist of test results. Include some instructions on how to report bugs, and any special instructions. Here's an example, from a Palimpsest test day:
If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component udisks, or gnome-disk-utility for bugs in the Palimpsest graphical front end itself. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you. Once you have completed the tests, add your results to the Results table below, following the example results from the first line as a template. The first column should be your name with a link to your User page in the Wiki if you have one, and the second should be a link to the Smolt profile of the system you tested. For each test case, use the result template to enter your result, as shown in the example result line.
