From Alki to Endolyne, the West Seattle Art Walk is brought to you by your local West Seattle merchants. Dozens of merchants in the West Seattle Junction, Alki Beach, Admiral District, Morgan Junction, Fauntleroy District and Delridge are displaying art and showcasing artists the second Thursday of EVERY month, 6-9pm!
I fell in love with the great outdoors, nature, and the act of creating art. Starting from a very young age I have spent a fair amount of time traveling, and moving, exposing me to the many elements of nature as well as juxtaposing geometric architecture in each city. These two elements have thus inspired my creative vision and subject matter, Nature and Geometry. I see a leaf or rock and figure out a way I can incorporate it in a piece of jewelry or artistic image. Currently my recent berth of work incorporates natural casting in Bronze and Silver jewelry as well as geometric shaped rings.
Currently my two favorite mediums are jewelry and printmaking however, this has morphed through out my lifetime. I always go back jewelry and metal though. I love the wear-ability of jewelry as an art form. It doesn't hide in a closet or home, but is worn for the world to see and enjoy. The coming about of my organic Jewelry style came quite naturally. My environment and lifestyle choices directed my work. I am drawn to the shapes and meaning of certain natural elements including seeds and pods, leaves, grass, mosses that give off new life and energy.
I have incorporated these seeds into bronze rings and texturized grass blade dramatic cuffs. These pieces all have a great weight to them, a sort of therapeutic weight and feel. I've also created a series of geometric shaped jewelry to juxtapose all the nature in my pieces. These contrasting elements also represent all the small towns, (nature), and cities (geometry and architecture), I've lived in, moving around a lot as a child and young adult.
In my most recent printmaking series, I took 35mm film images and created texturized prints using abstract shapes including rugged rocks, with leaf shapes in subdues browns and golden colors, I also created in the same series a print based off Mexican leaves incorporating turquoise, coral, and green. By creating abstract textures I am able to portray the way I see nature. Until nature stops existing and cities are not being built, I will continue to replicate my surroundings in my own artistic vision, for this brings me joy.Cupcake Royale is located at 4556 California Ave SW
Known as an artist even way back in grade school, and taken with racing instead of regular sports, a non-standard kid. Two tours of duty through college; Film Production first, Fine Art second. Copperplate Printing to Japanese Woodcut to Oil Pastel, and finally to canvas. But 97% of artists quit Art as a career; I have been determined never to do that.
The painter should never explain his paintings- ever - for any reason. The art has to do all the talking- but off the record I often say "industrial figurative." I work on a paper surface on top of canvas with a strong graphic element including typography and atmospheric graphs.
All are worked into the mix as compositional elements. Depending on the light, and mood of the viewer, it is possible to see something new with every viewing.
I am told my technique of applying and manipulating paint is unorthodox. The surface is pushed, pulled, scratched, scraped, and "attacked," before I then uses an industrial belt sander to grind away at the results. And I build my own frames out of recycled cedar and industrial material.
I will be on hand March 12th 6-9pm to TALK ART~!Windermere is located at 4526 California Ave SW
I have been creating artwork for years in various mediums. About five years ago I was introduced to the art of relief printmaking and never looked back. I love the versatility of this medium.
My work is inspired by the beauty found in nature. It may be a wisp of a cloud or a creature with a vibrant personality. Each color pigment is an original blend to create one of a kind color. I print on natural fiber paper which adds a unique and organic element to each print. Each piece is hand drawn, carved, and then printed by hand with limited reproductions.On this Thursday's Art Walk night, our weekly free tasting will feature French wines from in and around the region of Burgundy. We'll have an inviting selection of reds and whites on hand to sample while you enjoy the artwork of Kim M.
I hope you enjoy,
My inspiration for this series came from a small abstract painting I saw several years ago. It's lines, shapes, colors, and textures made me think of a totem. I wondered what it might look like if the format was changed to be narrow, vertical, more like a totem. I've done that, allowing myself to play and explore my version of totems. Some of these works are representational, others more subtle and abstract. The titles help to convey my connection to each piece.Valentine's Day Heart cookies, wine, and coffee provided by the Admiral Bird!
I have been a fisherman and an artist as long as I can remember. My father, Tom, taught me everything I know about fishing and took me to my first fly fishing school at the Blue Quill Angler in Evergreen, Colorado. It is my father's love of fishing that you will see in all of my designs. My work is for everyone who loves the outdoors and natural things. While I love catching big fish as much as the next guy, I will take a small stream and a small fish on a small rod all day long.
My primary medium is linocut printmaking, both single color and more detailed multi-color reductions. Printmaking is detailed, satisfying and sometimes very frustrating. I start each print by sketching the image in reverse onto the face of the block. I then use a series of sharp gouges to carve out the areas where ink should not cover the paper. Each print is a hand-made piece of art and is numbered in a limited series.
To break the cycle I like to work in oils and watercolors, especially when traveling, and you will see these works on my page as well. I find inspiration in so many places and always travel with some method to record what I see.
"My little self can only make artworks to resolve the distance between my imagination and what I can never touch."
Tim Cross
"I longed for intimacy with and within everything and anything. I wanted to see each and every microscopic structure of being. I wanted to see through my lover's eyes into his soul. I wanted to see cells breathing in plants. Ultimately, I wanted to see something I couldn't see. Slowly within me those kinds of urges disappeared and something lighter took over."

Drought on the Iberian Peninsula
April 18, 2013
Portugal is suffering from its worst drought in decades. Livestock and other agricultural losses have been devastating. In many parts of the country, January 2005 was the driest January in more than 100 years. The dramatic impact of the drought is clear from this pair of images. The green of Portugal's forests and fields that was apparent in an image captured on February 11, 2004, was missing from an image captured on February 13, 2005. In 2005, the landscape appears dull olive and brown as the country's vegetation withers in the face of the drought. The dry winter has increased concern about the summer fire season in the country, which may have lost as much as 10 percent of its forests during a terrible fire season in 2003. These images were captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite.

Il call your dr to ease your mind otherwise your just going to worry. Everything is most likely fine. Drink lots of water and put your feet up. You are probably just growing/ stretching to make room for the lo! Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way!

I believe worrying will hurt your baby - call your doctor or hit the ER. May turn out that you're dehydrated but better to check than be nervous and have that nervous energy affecting your bambino!

Don't worry!! No blood is a good thing so easy your mind a bit. Call your nurse because they expect worried moms to freak out, especially if this is the first baby. It could be, in addition to the stretching lady parts and dehydration, gas. Take a relaxing bath (or something), drink a ton of water, call the nurse. Better safe than sorry and you need peace of mind :)
Posted 01/01/2013
I agree with the other ladies. If calling your doc or going to the er will ease your mind then go for it. I'm at 14 weeks now and for the past few weeks iv been getting the occasional cramping be it strong cramps or weak.
On christmas i had very stong cramps all day.We are probably experiencing similar things... Growing and stretching.
Good luck to you. And try to lay back and relax as much as possible.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
For those who have hopes of freedom in China, those notions may be premature. The Chinese government has been bolstered by a recent court ruling that permits the government to crack down on users of social media.

HONG KONG, CHINA (Catholic Online) - The Supreme People's Court and Procuratorate has ruled that people who post "false-information" or "slanderous comments" online can be sent to prison for up to three years and those whose comments are viewed by more than 5,000 people can get 10 years.
The Court issued statements regarding the decision on the state-run news service, Xinhua but those statements were standard fare.
"Some internet users fabricate rumors about others and create false information while making use of sensitive social issues, which has disrupted social order and triggered mass incidents," Court spokesman, Sun Jungong was quoted as saying.
On television, the ruling was praised as "timely" and "healthy."
Naturally, advocates for freedom of speech were alarmed. The ruling will permit the Chinese government to pursue people who post comments critical to the state on social media. Anyone, even a foreigner, could be charged.
Chinese society is undergoing a dramatic shift. Social media is connecting China to the rest of the world as never before and providing new free speech opportunities that did not previously exist. The economy is prosperous leading to the rise of a middle-class that is hungry for more everything, including freedom.
Facing China are challenges such as a predominantly male population, a lagging world economy, rampant pollution, and a government that does not seem to keep pace with the times.
However, the government knows control better than most. Government officials are already doing what they can to nip any issues in the bud. The social media ruling is simply one form of attack. Other solutions include the introduction of Edmund Burke to college classrooms.
Edmund Burke was an Irish-born philosopher and member of British Parliament in the 18th century and the father of modern conservatism. His counterrevolutionary writings which would have been taboo decades ago as are gaining new value for the same reason.
As the revolutionary communist government becomes the establishment, any talk of revolution, even in the name of Mao, becomes pass�. Burke was critical of violent revolutions, instead suggesting that people change their societies slowly and from within the framework of the existing system.
This is precisely the attitude the government wants to cultivate in the youth.
For now, bloggers and social media personalities in China are worried. Any popular post on social media can invite government persecution.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Depends what you where doing. A fully up to date version should start almost instantly and we are looking at ways of making updates for the client smaller and faster.
We are not using Qt but wxWidgets
Article: Desura.com
Hey Anddos, Desura uses your proxy settings from internet explorer. Please make sure they are correct.
Think i found the bug causing that. Shouldnt have to verify it so often in the next build of Desura. Sorry. :)
hey nibbler, Sorry to hear that your having issues with Desura. As there is really only me working on the client im trying to fix bugs and make Desura stable and fast as possible. In the early stages there will be some issues but we are sorting them out as quick as we can. If you want me to help fix your issues send me a Private message.
Would love too but IP issues are stopping it
This is the game stats not global stats for desura
Desura Only. How can we track installs on moddb?
Just for this mods installs.
The sdk is in the works. So much to do. :)
Your added all ready :)

No mac support atm, just a challenge getting it running on 3 different windows versions, but its on the cards.
New Vid: Youtube.com
The vid quality was murdered by youtube, im uploading it again

Training camp is in full swing, and that means that the proper business of hockey is underway, so a review of some of the news around the league is in order. In this week's go-round, the Flames get the roster down to a more reasonable configuration, the Jets have a noisy start to their exhibition campaign, and Brendan Shanahan has a full plate three nights in to the pre-season.

Flames/Canucks Split Game Thoughts

Pat Steinberg has a good overview of the Flames home game here. Unlike him, though, I wasn't at the Saddledome rubbing shoulders with the important people. Instead I stayed at home and switched between internet feed and SNET broadcast so I could catch as much action as possible.
Postgame: I Only Saw One
Pat Steinberg
September 20 2011 10:03PM
I'll leave our FlamesNation commenters to fill in the blanks on Calgary's second game of preseason opening night, as I was able to watch the Flames take a 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks in split squad action at the Saddledome. In the second half, Calgary took on the Canucks at the Rogers Arena. In both instances, Vancouver iced a very pedestrian lineup against a more veteran team; the game at the 'Dome saw that veteran squad carry the play as expected.

Started experimenting with long exposures …. I have a long way to go to get what I envisioned in my head … here's try number 1 from this morning (first try during broad daylight – I've done long exposures at night and at pre-dawn when the light is very, very low).
Nikon D80
Nikkor 18-135 at 20mm
f/9.5 at 30 secs
HiTech 10-Stop ND Filter
Amazing first try, Vikram! The balancing blue and green is wonderful. The water surfcce looks very smooth. Even softer than the clouds reflected in it. Keep experimenting :-)
Thanks so much Peter – to get the effect I really want, I need to go to over 90 secs I think …. just seems so contrary to what my brain says is the 'correct' exposure!!
– Vikram Franklin
Absolutely gorgeous Vikram, and this is a first try? Wow!
Thanks Joanne – well not exactly very first try …. I have done long exposures before – but usually at pre-dawn/dawn when it's very low-light.
This is my first time getting out well into the day and shooting 30 sec plus exposures.
– Vikram Franklin
Amazing capture Vikram and such brilliant cool tones, it must have been a very still morn as there is absolutely no movement in the trees over such a long exposure, great work
Thanks – mixed feelings about the stillness … I wished there was more cloud movement …. but it did help cut down on the leaf movement.
Calm before the storm it was … that was just stillness before the rain. That blue in the sky was chased away in no time!

High school basketball: Fremont plays in Madison Square Garden, finishes second in national tournament
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
NEW YORK — The Fremont Silver Wolves got to fulfill a basketball player's dream Saturday, playing in the championship game of the Dick's Sporting Goods High School Girls' National Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
The Silver Wolves, who won the 5A title last month, defeated No. 20 Miami Senior High 43-33 in the semifinals on Friday at Christ the King High School's Father John Savage Memorial Gymnasium.
BYU-bound Amanda Wayment led Fremont with 12 points and seven rebounds in the semifinal win while Shelbee Molen (9 points) and Kealani Sagapolu (9 rebounds) pitched in to help the Silver Wolves punch their ticket to New York City's famed basketball arena.
However, it took a while for Fremont to get going on the same court that Minnesota Golden Gophers won the NIT on Thursday. No. 10-ranked Riverdale Baptist (Md.) sprinted out to a 15-0 lead and the Crusaders cruised to their second National Tournament title in three years.
Molen led Fremont with 13 points in the 60-35 loss Saturday.
"It was a little overwhelming in the beginning; this is Madison Square Garden," Wayment said in the tournament press release.
