Pen Stand Still Life - Minor Update Jan 11th.
Months ago, when I first got my Wacom tablet and was still very new to digital art, and somewhat new to working with color, I decided to do some still lives to work on my rendering skills, observational skills, knowledge of light, etc. Well, after months of procrastinating and distracting myself by drawing fun creatures, I'm finally getting started. My goal with these still lives is to increase my knowledge of light and form, hone my observational skills, learn to render different types of materials, as well as work on my digital rendering technique.
For my first still life, I decided to paint my Wacom pen stand, because it was right there on my computer desk. Here are my steps:
First, I set things up. I took two years of mechanical drawing in high school, and it has helped tremendously in my later, more fine arts related endeavors. I recommend mechanical drawing classes to anyone interested in art; they really help you think scientifically and logically about drawing. Anyway, to get the ellipses right, I simply created random ellipses with the ellipse tool on photoshop, then free transformed-->distorted them to fit onto the grid I'd made.
Next, I turned off the line and ellipse layers and painted the surface the pen stand was sitting on, in this case a wood desk. I painted in three general blobs of hue (yellowish on the lower right, orangish on the lower left, and more desaturated up top), and then blended the hues together with a brush composed of many dots. I left it somewhat rough.
Next, I blocked things in using imprecise smears of color.
Starting to refine.
More refining. The pen stand is now pretty much done.
Yet more refining. I lightened up the shadows a bit my lowering the opacity of the layer they were on, and darkened the background to give some more depth. And that's when I stopped.
Things I know I need to work on:
-Grounding the object more. The right side especially seems to be floating.
-The composition. The object is smack in the middle with a shadow on the left and nothing on the right.
-The rendering. Could be smoother in some areas.
So, now that I've given you probably much more info about this painting than you need to know, what to you all think? In addition to what I just mentioned, I'm seeking critiques on...just about everything. My style, my method, etc.
Thanks in advance for anything at all you have to say.
Update: The attached image is a very slightly revised image.

I can't really tell what's wrong with it. Is there a photo of the still life that you could show us?
For now, I think it's missing the cast shadow on the left side. Probably add a little orange on the object?

Nice job!
For such a mechanically perfect object, I suggest spending more time on the edges. Make sure they are perfectly straight and smooth. You can get away with a lot more within the faces so long as the edges are tidy.
By the way, if you use both an artificial light-source and indirect daylight from a window, that will give you a more colorful range of light to work with.
Are you going to do more of these still-lifes? :-)
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

SillyLing- I'll take a picture of it tonight or tomorrow night, when the lighting conditions are the same again. I'm a little confused about what you mean here:
For now, I think it's missing the cast shadow on the left side. Probably add a little orange on the object?
Seedling- Yay! The CA queen of still lives is here! I'll get to work on those edges as soon as I can. Thanks a lot for the tip about lighting. I drew this at night, so it was all indoor artificial light. I'll do my next still life in the day with the window open. So yeah, I'm going to hopefully do a lot more of these. I'll probably do this same object a few more times as well, in different lighting situations and from different angles.
Thanks for the advice, both of you! I'll have this updated tomorrow night, as tonight I have work and New Years activities keeping me away from the computer.

Still Life # 2: Dusty Old Bell
Here's a very small update to my pen stand. I basically just blended the colors a little bit more and got the outline a little sharper, as per Seedling's recommendation.
I'd post a photograph, but even if I got the lighting perfect, the colors and lighting in the photo would look completely different. So, oh well.

6 Ways Employees Manipulate You
2. The Old Shell Game
Your employee wants you to make a decision that is favorable to his career. He therefore prepares three possible approaches to a business issue--making certain that two, while plausible on the surface, run the risk of total disaster. For example, one might put your entire company into bankruptcy, while the second would make everyone in the company quit. The third choice, of course, is the only viable option--and just happens to be the one that's advantageous to the employee.

Report: Stars to have sitdown with Seguin
Tyler Seguin's career in Dallas apparently hasn't gotten off to the best start.
A homphobic tweet, which was quickly deleted, appeared on the former Bruins forward's feed Saturday night that he says was sent by a "hacker." He immediately responded to the situation.
Twitter hacking has to stop. My apologies— Tyler Seguin (@tylerseguin92) July 7, 2013
As a result, Seguin told his followers Sunday that he plans to temporarily shut down his account.
After repeated attempts by "hackers" to try to damage my reputation I have decided to shut down my twitter account for a while.— Tyler Seguin (@tylerseguin92) July 7, 2013
On Sunday night, Seguin deleted his Twitter account altogether.
Stars GM Jim Nill spoke with the Dallas Morning News in response to the tweet, and says he plans to have a sitdown with the 21-year-old to figure what's going on with him off the ice.
"My problem with social media is you just don't know how much of it is true," Nill told the Dallas Morning News. "I think, as a society, we are trained to believe 100 percent of it is true, and that's obviously not the case. It's difficult to validate how things might happen, whether someone was truly hacked, or just what might have happened. I can't go off hearsay, I need to ask questions."
The Stars also released a statement Sunday, saying that "In no way, shape or form does the Dallas Stars organization condone or agree with the message that was sent out through Tyler Seguin's Twitter feed last night. We've addressed the issue directly with Tyler and we'll continue to work on educating our players regarding the importance of their conduct on all forms of social media."
The Bruins dealt Seguin to the Stars in a 4th of July blockbuster on Thursday. And aside from the in-game struggles, multiple reports have said Seguin's immaturity and party lifestyle off the ice was a key reason for his departure.
Since the trade, more rumors have surfaced about Seguin's off-ice habits and the Bruins' feeling towards them, including a report from the Boston Herald Friday that said the Bruins ordered Seguin to live in a hotel and hired a guard to monitor him and stop his partying ways during the season. Seguin's mom, Jackie, angrily denied the reports to the Toronto Star, calling her son "professional" and claiming that Tyler spent a majority of the Cup Finals in Boston with his father, Paul.
Regardless of what is true, it was clear that Seguin had some growing up to do, and the Bruins weren't ready to wait for that to happen. And apparently the trade wasn't enough of a wake-up call for him.

Premiere - "Juxtapoz Presents: Gone Again"Juxtapoz // Sunday, November 09, 2014
Juxtapoz Presents: Gone Again is a visual tour of the elaboratelydecorated surroundings of the legendary art and music collector Long Gone John. Filmed at his estate in the upper woods of Olympia, WA, this short film is a fantastical journey through the maze of John's aesthetic mind and personal obsessions. John's spare, singular narration gives voice to an interior monologue set against the backdrop of an optical nirvana. The Treasures of Long Gone John celebrates its 10 year anniversary.
Juxtapoz Presents "Gone Again" @ Olympia Film FestivalJuxtapoz // Tuesday, November 04, 2014
It's hard to believe that it's been nearly 10 years since I started production on my documentary film, The Treasures of Long Gone John, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in 2006. Prior to making the film, I had heard legions of stories about Long Gone John, but he remained a mysterious figure, vitally connected to the Lowbrow art world but not particularly enamored of attending openings or social events

So sorry to hear about ya'lls cysts.
Fey Fellow--- My doc is making me wait until day 35, but I'm sure I'll call them before then. However if I have to wait then that will be 4/29! Most likely though, I will call before then cuz I am having a bunch of symptoms that aren't due to the progesterone like before.
So anyways, I am trying to find out how much of my syptoms are either real, progesterone, or in my head.
Here are my glorious symptoms which I hope and pray will continue!
Dizziness, Headaches, Mood Swings, Nausea, Frequent Urination, Sore Breasts, Lower Abdominal Soreness, Cramps, and Slight Twinges around ovaries and sides, ooooohhh and back pain! I feel miserable but I am so excited! I hope that it's not all the progesterone.
What do you think????? Is it the Endometrin?

Property Details
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, 6 Sleeps
Why not treat yourself to a stay in this luxury home on Florida's Gulf Coast? Set right
on Ray Floyd's Oak Hills golf course, this house overlooks the 11th tee. Unlike many
other golf homes though, this location is secluded enough to enable you to watch the
golfing action without feeling that you're being watched in turn.
Set near the end of a cul-de-sac this home benefits from fronting onto a road which is
almost as quiet as the golf course it backs onto, so if it's a tranquil location and a
peaceful vacation you're looking for, this is probably as good as it gets!
With a 1/3 acre lot, and a large 30' x 15' swimming pool that's designed for swimming
rather than just splashing, this home looks like the real deal from the minute you pull
into the drive. It also has a pool spa, a large lanai area and a beautifully manicured
garden to add that touch of luxury you certainly won't find with every rental home.
When you need a change of scenery the local area offers lots to do. The beautiful Pine
Island beach is just minutes away, golf is just seconds away, and there are plenty of
other sporting activities nearby such as cycling, tennis and fishing. Once you've burned
off a few calories there are lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. And if you're
not the sporty type you can browse the many big-name stores that keep opening up in
Spring Hill!

Winter Getaway
It looks even better in person.
Wonderful holiday
The house was so clean and bright and very well equipped. We had a great time and can't recommend it enough! The owner was very helpful, with lots of information about the house and the surrounding area.
Highlights of our trip were swimming everyday and swimming with manatees!!
Out of the way
lovely villa
You'll Love This Home!You'll Love This Home!
There is every comfort of home here. Many nice restaurants in the area. You must canoe down the Weeki Wachee river and see the manatees and other wildlife.
It is 12 scenic miles to the Gulf of Mexico where you can watch the sun sink into the ocean. Many state parks to sitesee in. It's a beautiful area if you enjoy old Florida with the spanish moss hanging from the live Oak trees.
Activity and Interests
Known also as the Nature Coast, this area is a haven for wildlife. You can visit
numerous state parks within a couple of hours' drive, but there's lots to see much
closer to home than that. It's entirely possible to sit next to the pool and have a
gopher tortoise, or a sandhill crane walk by within feet of you, and a kayak trip down
the nearby Weeki Wachee River offers the chance to see abundant bird and aquatic life,
including manatees and otters. A few minutes further away at Pine Island beach you've a
good chance to see dolphins and turtles too.
More 'mythical' creatures are on view at the nearby Weeki Wachee Springs and Buccaneer
Bay Water Park where you can watch the Mermaid Show, or swim in the crystal clear spring-
fed waters which remain at a constant 74.2 degrees throughout the year.
Pine Island with its lovely beach, and famous sunsets is just a short drive away, and if
you're there at sunset you may find yourself witnessing an outdoor wedding ceremony, as
it's a popular romantic spot for tying the knot!
Spring Hill is a fast developing town in its own right too, with an ever-growing
assembly of household-name shops, and lots of restaurants to choose from, as well as a
full range of coffee shops. As you'd expect the area also has a range of other forms of
entertainment such as cinema and bowling.
If you like sport and outdoor activities there's plenty to do nearby. Obviously golf is
just seconds away, but fishing, cycling, tennis and various other activities are
available within a short drive. There are free tennis courts and well-organised cycle
trails with reasonably priced cycle hire close by. Don't worry that you have to organise
everything in advance though - we make sure to send you a guide on how to find all these
places before you arrive for your vacation, and we've sought out all the best ones at
the cheapest rates too, so you'll be able to enjoy your vacation like you've been
visiting Spring Hill for years!
If you'd like to travel further afield and see some of the other attractions of Central
Florida they're fairly easy to reach too. Some sample distances are:
Tampa (and Busch Gardens)- 42 miles
Homosassa Springs state wildlife park - 26 miles
Orlando - 83 miles
Clearwater Beach - 38 miles
Rental rates
From as little as $90/£50 per night, depending on length of booking
and season. A security deposit is required, refundable after departure.

The California poppy, the state flower, can be spotted throughout the state, but this quiet park holds the densest concentration. Seven miles of trails—parts of which are paved, though inclines are too steep for wheelchairs—wind through 1,745 acres of hills carpeted with poppies and other wildflowers. Peak blooming time is usually March through May. On a clear day at any time of year, you'll be treated to sweeping views of Antelope Valley.

GASTONIA, N.C. A Gaston County jury spent their first full day trying to decide if convicted killer Danny Hembree should live or die.
Hembree was convicted last week of the murder of 17-year-old Heather Catterton in October of 2009.
The jury came back into the courtroom to ask to see the lengthy files of Hembree's medical records.
The defense says Hembree should be spared because he has serious medical issues while the prosecution says Hembree knew right from wrong and should get the death penalty.
The jury will continue sentencing Friday.

Pete's Central One
300 South Pearl Street, Denver, CO 80209Map
+1 303 778 6675
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Neighborhood: Southwest Denver/ Littleton
Cuisine: Greek
Pete's is small in space but its interior is refreshingly free from the standard, restaurant chain look. Everything about the menu is traditional. One can start with Spanakopita, puff pastry jammed with spinach and feta cheese, as an appetizer. Then advance to the Lamb Loin Chops, or the Chicken Kebob. Top the meal off with Galactobovriko (baked farina custard with vanilla and cognac) for dessert. Vegetarian entrees are also available. A separate lunch menu is served during weekdays.

Norman Van Aken's A Word On Food
9:13 am
Sat October 26, 2013
Salt Of The Earth
I held my grandchild Audrey in the saltwater of the Atlantic in the Florida Keys 'Bahia Honda State Park.'
She kicked her 'just-turned-one'-year-old legs in the shallow sea, churning the water and splashing her granddad joyously. I was a little concerned that the sting of the salty water might invade her incredibly blue eyes. She did not share my concern.
It was only a keening hunger she developed from this new exercise that drove her back to her mother and the cold watermelon to be savored under the stone pavilion our family was huddled under for this birthday celebration.
To be worth one's salt makes more sense if you know that the world 'salary' is derived from the word salarium and that sal is Latin word for salt.
Early Christians rubbed newborn babies with salt.
A 'witch's supper' is a supper made with no salt.
Spilled salt is a foretelling of lost friendship or even death.
If there is a food more 'ingrained' within our human need bag, I cannot summon it.
Preparing meats for the hallowed task of preservation begins with an assemblage of spices known as "a cure" and salt it the first and foremost ingredient in it.
Most believe we arose from salt as creatures in the continuing evolution of our species.
Salt is classified as a rock. When a salt crystal grows without any other chemical 'hitchhikers' latching on, it is perfectly square. That fascinates me. It's if God created it in the form of a 'gift.' And it is. Without it, we would perish.
Salt is a rock we enjoy eating. We are made of salt in seminal ways as it is contained in our blood, flesh, sweat and tears! When a woman becomes pregnant the increase of blood in her lowers her sodium level and she is changed dramatically for it. Hence the craving for foods that may have never been sought before. My wife, Janet, has loved pickles since she was a little girl so when our son Justin was on the way she just amped up a love already instilled.
In the Royal Wieliczka (Vee Leech Kah), salt mine near Krakow, Poland the workers have carved small chapels and even one large cathedral out of the black salt. The mines are as dangerous as coal mines and, to the miners, the added sense of spiritual protection was nothing to take lightly. They have even created chandeliers made of beads of white salt and adorned them with strands of electrical lights.
The great cookbook author Marcella Hazan was the first to articulate salt's importance in my life. I sensed it was vital but Marcella convinced me that I was not wrong to utilize it with greater generosity than some of the earlier kitchen bosses I'd labored under had prescribed. She became like a kitchen godmother to me on that day.
My love and sanctuary in terms of salt is found in cuisine. I love its direct language. When you pair three ingredients such as figs, black pepper and prosciutto you have a perfect triangle of conversation. The footing is equal, balanced and rational. I have made a dish for many years called, "My Rhum and Pepper Painted Fish." The "paint" in this case is a cooked mixture made of rhum and pepper as the name implies but the other two major ingredients are sugar and salt.
It is a few years from now but it will one day be something I make for Granddaughter Audrey.
Yield: Enough for 1 breast from a 20 pound bird
1 ¼ Cups kosher salt 1 ½ Cups sugar 2 bay leaves, broken 1 medium onion, peeled and halved 2 cloves
6 whole allspice berries
6 juniper berries
1 Turkey breast, well rinsed
Place salt, sugar and 1 quart hot water in a large deep pot and whisk until salt and sugar crystals dissolve. Whisk in 4 quarts cold water. Pin bay leaves to onion halves with cloves and add them to brine. Add the Allspice and Juniper Berries.
Let mixture cool to room temperature.
Add turkey breast, placing a large heavy pot or sealed zip-top bag filled with cold water on top to keep breast submerged.
Place pot in refrigerator and marinate overnight.
Roast to perfection!

I lived in this apartment during years. It is very well placed. So it is not an 'anonymous' apartment with Ikea furnitures! You will feed inside the real 'parisian way of life'.
Thank you for your hospitality.
We found the unit very homely and enjoyed our stay here. You have all the conforts that we needed.
We will be recommending your unit to our friends in Australia.
I was skeptical, but my husband really wanted to stay here. I was wrong. Apartment is fantastic! High ceilings, seperate bedroom, washer and dryer, dishwasher, tons of seating with huge dining table, toilet is seperate bathroom from shower and sink area which was great! Huge windows open to neighborhood below, location can't be beat and great price make renting this apartment a no brainer.
Next to locals market with butcher, cheese shop, wine shops and bakeries. Steps from metro. Within a mile of tons of tourist attractions. Right on the river. Amazing restaurants and bars below, even a Michelin star restaurant a mile away. Everything is so close to the apartment that we were able to walk to everything the entire week we were in Paris and were easily able to jump on metro when we were tired. Safe building, friendly tenants and Alexandre was great!
Highly recommend!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful two weeks living in this wonderful, very quaint, old apartment in Paris. Because of it's location quite near Notre Dame, we were able to walk just about everywhere. The occasional ringing of the bells of Notre Dame only added to the magic of our trip. The kitchen was excellent, allowing us to have frequent breakfasts and dinners while overlooking the bustling streets of Paris. Also, the apartment WiFi was very convenient . Alexandre was most helpful and, as we told him on our last day there...we were already looking forward to returning to that wonderful city and our home away from home. Tres tres bien!!!
This apartment is in a great location. From the living room window we could see the spire of Notre Dame Cathedral. There were several grocery options, bakeries, lots of night life and good restaurants. The apartment is close to the Metro and the RER. Overall the apartment is well equipped. You will have to be capable of climbing four flights of stairs.
We spent the most enjoyable 2 weeks in this gorgeous apartment in June this year. The great big windows open onto the activity of the street below and we whiled away many hours with a glass of wine watching life go by. Alexandre was most helpful and very prompt in every dealing we had with him. We locked our keys inside one afternoon and a quick email and not more than 10 minutes later and he was there to our rescue, and still smiling. The apartment is certainly large enough for 4 adults, as our twin daughters spent 7 days with us on the sofa bed and we still had ample room to sit around the dining table and even had friends over for a dinner party one evening. The metro is just a few minutes away, and Notre Dame is literally 4 minutes walk. The 2 markets just up the street sell all your daily needs, the boulongerie on the corner a daily croissant. I cannot say anything but praise for this wonderfully situated and equipped apartment.
My only advice is that there are 3 flights of stairs so if you are concerned keep this in mind. I managed them and by the end was up and down without too much trouble.
This is a very comfortable, extremely convenient, centrally located place to stay, with many amenities. The owner is very helpful. One is truly *a deux pas* from shops, markets, services, Metro, taxi, and the wonderful cultural district surrounding the Sorbonne - especially good for those who like bookstores. Not handicap accessible, but if that is not a concern, we strongly recommend staying here. Much more affordable and comfortable than hotels.
It was a pleasure meeting you and renting your beautiful apartment. The location could not be better. It was very convenient to everything that we wanted to do and see. The apartment actually was much better than the pictures and narrative described. We had no problems at all and you were very helpful in making bookings for us and recommending places to shop and eat. We will definitely rent your place in the future.
Thank You again for helping make our 35th anniversary trip so memorable.

Why, after absorbing a photon does an atom's electron 'fall' back to its ground state (what causes it to immediately lose its absorbed energy)?
The answer by @Davidmh gives our observations from classical physics, where we formulated the quantities "energy" , "potential" etc. We observed that this was so, an apple falls, and brilliant mathematics organized these observations into equations that can predict what will happen. So the real answer to a "why" in physics is "because we have observed that it does so". Physics then answers "how" this happens, by referring to the mathematical models constructed to describe how.
Now electrons and photons are not classical particles, they are quantum mechanical entities, working with different models of nature in a different framework. Still, there is continuity in physics, and the concept of Energy and Potential energy has been retained, and at the limit classical emerges from quantum mechanical, the underlying layer.
So the answer to "why" at the electron atom photon level is really "because that is what we have observed". BUT we have a very good mathematical model to explain the "how" this happens, which is predictive of future behaviors also. This is as follows:
A photon hitting an atom has a probability to interact with it, be absorbed, and raise the atom to a higher energy level. This probability can be calculated with the tools of quantum mechanics which also predict that once the electron is on a higher energy level, there exists a strong probability that it will fall back to the ground level emitting a photon with the appropriate energy. One can think of it with the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle , too. The higher energy level has a width, delta (E) which means that it has a lifetime delta(t) of existing, it is unstable.
Our models are very good and successful, and we tend to think that they answer "why". For example in this case we will say "because the energy level has a width and from the HUP it will have to decay", but in truth, we are just answering "how" within our model this happens.
That is a general property of our universe: things tend to the state of minimum energy and maximum entropy.
If you want, the answer is thermodynamics.

Absolute Radio and Avalon have created a brand new radio comedy show entitled 'A Design For Life' as part of a cross media campaign to promote Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This will be our first foray into ad-funded programming and opens up an exciting new platform for future brand partners.
The FSCS provide last resort compensation for customers of authorised financial services firms and aims to reassure the British public that their savings are protected.
'A Design For Life' will run across six episodes that will highlight FSCS's key messaging. The shows will present a not entirely serious look at the important things in life including holidays, home, university days, marriage and more. They will be spread out over the next year to tie in with an integrated media campaign with The Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday and the Metro.
The first episode will focus on retirement and will feature Christian O'Connell, Rock N Roll Football's Ian Stone with contributions from well-known comedians. The show will air on Sunday 10th February on Absolute Radio from 7-8pm.
Episode 2 will cover the topic of university on Sunday 10th March from 7-8pm as the series takes shape with future performances from Ian Wright, Geoff Lloyd, Annabel Port, Pete Donaldson and further well-known comedians, set to be revealed at a later date.
The broadcasts will be followed by 'Spotlight' features over the following weeks with a mix of comedy highlights and FSCS information. Listeners will also be able to catch-up with the programmes from an FSCS-branded section of the Absolute Radio website.
'A Design For Life' is produced by Avalon- a leading producer of award-winning comedy and entertainment programmes for radio and television including the Absolute Radio Frank Skinner show. Promotional on air trails and microsite will go live from Wednesday 6th February with call to action to tune into Episode 1 on Sunday 10th February from 7pm.

the pink dolphins, they're so sweet
before doing this trip, just bear in mind ... the trip is not watching dolphins as happened in ocean park hongkong or other aquarium. it's about sailing from tung chung harbour [lantau island] to chek lap kok and another part of pearl river delta regions to find wild white chinese dolphins a.k.a sousa chinensis.
so, the attraction is different compared to a flipper show. if you're lucky, yes ... the big-giant sousa chinensis named ringo will show up himself. and several pinky dolphins will come closer to the cruiser. but sometimes only can be seen 1 - 2 dolphins.
and i was so lucky since within 5 hours trip i found more than 10 sousa chinensis. they're so lovely! cuddly mammals >> but of course, i can not touch them :DRelated to:

NEW YORK -- As they have kept alive their slim playoff hopes, the Philadelphia Phillies have refused to quit. New York Mets manager Terry Collins refused to answer when asked if he thought his team had done just that after another thumping, telling reporters they had to "ask them." The Mets' march of misery continued at Citi Field on Thursday night, quickly hitting a new low against the resurgent Phillies, who finished off a three-game sweep with a 16-1 rout. The Phillies pounded Mets starter Jeremy Hefner with six consecutive hits during an eight-run, nine-hit first inning. They bookended that with a seven-run ninth inning, including a grand slam by Ryan Howard off Josh Edgin, the rookie reliever Howard tagged for the game-winning homer in the ninth Wednesday. Juan Pierre tied a career high with five hits and he, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley each had two hits in the first, with each player driving in two runs in the inning. Utley produced four hits overall. The rout gave t...

U.K. Doctors Deem Gay "Cure" Therapies Harmful
BY Advocate.com Editors
July 02 2010 2:00 PM ET
Therapies that purport to "cure" gay people were denounced as harmful during the annual meeting of the British Medical Association, reports Pink News.
At the Thursday session, the majority of physicians attending agreed that the Royal College of Psychiatrists and other mental health standard-setting organizations should reject and ban the treatments.
"Sexuality is such a fundamental part of who a person is that attempts to change it just result in significant confusion, depression and even suicide," said Tom Dolphin, vice-chair of the BMA's junior doctors committee. "You can't just wish away same-sex attraction no matter how inconvenient it might be."

text: Did you know that assistance dogs are so much more than a pet? They can play many crucial roles: a glycemic indicator for diabetics; a paramedic for a person with epilepsy; a reassuring presence for someone who has a mental illness or post-traumatic stress disorder; they can detect an undiagnosed cancer; a faithful guardian for an autistic child; the eyes of a blind person; the ears of a deaf person; the legs of someone with reduced mobility. For the first time, a book presents testimonials of children, adults and seniors who relate how their assistance dog has greatly improved the quality of their life. For the first time, a book describes the extraordinary capabilities of assistance dogs for persons with a health condition. Some of these special dogs can even detect a cancer in its early stages, before it's too late to treat. Depending on what these persons are suffering from - diabetes, epilepsy, cancer, a mental illness, autism, blindness, deafness, a physical handicap - the stories they have to tell vary considerably. However, they all have one thing in common: the joy of living rediscovered thanks in large part to the constant support and presence of a marvellous four-legged guardian angel. Book format: 6" x 9"

FREE Midwest Wide CLASSIFIEDS for vineyards and wineries at Midwest Wine Press here:
Berry Shatter: aka Coulure (pronounced coo-LYUR) is a potential viticultural hazard that is the result of metabolic reactions to weather conditions that causes a failure of grapes to develop after flowering. In English the word shatter is sometimes used. Coulure is triggered by periods of cold, cloudy, rainy weather or very high out-of-season temperatures. The condition is most often manifested in the spring. It also occurs in vines that have little sugar content in their tissue. Flowers stay closed and are not fertilized. Thus the vines are not pollinated as the grape fails to develop and falls off.
Jacking: Jacking (aka freeze distillation) is freezing wine or hard cider to separate the water from the alcohol

Revilla hits Luy, Aquino, 3 pals
More News from Maila Ager
MANILA, Philippines — Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. has accused President Benigno Aquino III of interfering in the impeachment trial of then Chief Justice Renato Corona.
"Ginoong Pangulo, kung pag-uusapan lang naman po natin ang tama at mali, tama po ba na habang nililitis ang dating Chief Justice na si Renato Corona ay kailangang makialam ang mismong Pangulo ng Republika sa isang prosesong legal na dapat ay independyente?" Revilla asked when he delivered a privilege speech on Monday.
(Mr. President, if we talk about what is right and wrong, was it right for the President of the Republic to interfere in the supposedly independent legal process of trying Justice Corona?)
Earlier in his speech, Revilla denied having a hand in the P10-billion pork barrel scam that was allegedly masterminded by Janet Lim-Napoles, but failed to present details that would conclusively clear his name.
He said his signatures in the documents linking him to the scandal were forged and called whistle-blower Benhur Luy as "Boy Pirma" or master forger.
After blasting Luy, Revilla trained his guns at Malacañang. He said the scam was being used by the administration to coverup Aquino's abuses and failures.
The senator then detailed his meeting with the President himself sometime before the Senate voted to impeach Corona.
Revilla started by showing a photo on the floor of a car with license plate number 6, which he said belonged to a Cabinet Secretary. He later identified the owner of the vehicle as Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II.
He also showed another photo, this time showing Roxas behind the vehicle. Revilla said it was him who took the picture.
Revilla said Roxas invited him to the latter's residence in Cubao in Quezon City called "Bahay na Puti (white house)" and arrived there in the morning. Then he was asked to board the Interior secretary's car that brought them to Bahay Pangarap at Malacañang.
It was the first time, he said, that he went to Bahay Pangarap where he met the President and Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad there.
"Habang nag-aalmusal kami ng pandesal, kesong puti, itlog, hamon, tapa, sinangag at mga prutas, bumangka si Secretary Mar tungkol sa mga dahilan kung bakit dapat ma-impeach si dating Chief Justice Corona," Revilla said.
(While having breakfast, Secretary (Manuel) Mar (Roxas II) made a pitch why Corona should be impeached.)
"Bago kami magtapos, nagulat ako nang sinabi sa akin ng Presidente: "Pare, parang awa mo na, ibalato mo nasa akin. Kailangan s'yang ma-impeach," the senator said.
(Before finishing our breakfast, I was stunned to hear the President telling me: "Buddy, please give me a favor. He should be impeached.")
"Sabay sunod naman ni Secretary Abad, "Magtulungan tayo, Senator," Revilla added.
(Then (Budget) Secretary (Florencio) Abad seconded, "Let's help, Mr. Senator.")
"Aaminin ko sa inyo ako ay nabigla dahil tila dinidiktahan ako ng Pangulo kaya ang naging sagot ko lang, Mr. President, I will do what is right. Naniniwala po ako na dapat manindigan sa tama at gagawin ko lang po ang tama para sa bayan," he said.
(I would admit that I was so surprised that the President seemed to be pressuring me, so my answer was, 'Mr. President, I will do what is right.' I believe we should make a stand and fight what is right for the country.)
Revilla called Roxas as "Boy Pick-Up."
Revilla was among those who voted to impeach Corona.
In opening his speech, Revilla's voice was trembling in denying any involvement in the P10-billion "pork barrel" scam.
"For the record Mister President, I have nothing to do with this scam. I have no dealings and transactions with Napoles and the whistle-blowers," Revilla said before a jampacked gallery of the Senate.
He also showed a PowerPoint presentation to show that his signatures had been forged.
"I did not confirm anything," Revilla said, apparently referring to news reports that he had confirmed his signatures in some documents pertaining to the release of his "pork barrel" funds.
No less than the witnesses themselves, he said, who pointed to the principal whistle-blower, Benhur Luy, as the expert in forging signatures.
"Sa makatuwid, eto palang si Benhur Luy ay si 'Boy Pirma,'" Revilla added.
(Therefore, this Benhur Luy is a master forger.)
Revilla also blasted Secretary Leila De Lima's Department of Justice legal team for accepting Luy in the Witness Protection Program.
In a radio report, De Lima, in reaction, defended Luy and vouched for his integrity.

Painful Departure at Airport: With Fuel Costs Crimping Revenue, American Eagle Will End Service to Albany
By Eric Anderson, Albany Times Union, N.Y.
Jun. 26–COLONIE — American Eagle will end nearly 80 years of continuous service to Albany International Airport when it drops its last three daily round trips to Chicago on Nov. 1.
The carrier and its predecessors first began serving the airport in 1929, a year before they came up with the name American Airlines.
Eagle's 14 employees in Albany will be able to apply for other jobs at the carrier, airline spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said.
The pullout was among a wide range of cutbacks that American Eagle and American Airlines announced Wednesday, just a day after an industry group, the Business Travel Coalition, warned that $130-a-barrel oil endangers U.S. airlines' very survival.
The news stunned local passengers and travel agents.
"You are kidding. They pioneered this airport," said longtime travel agent Carl Mitchell of Currier Travel in Colonie. "I remember the days when they were the only ones here."
"I'm almost speechless," added Mitchell, who went to work for American in 1946 before becoming a travel agent three years later.
"Dammit. Dammit. Dammit," said Jean Gagnon of Plaza Travel in Latham.
"American has been here as long as I can remember," she said as she quickly worked to rebook clients who were on American for a trip to Hawaii in December. "It's going to mess up a lot of people."
At the airport Wednesday afternoon, Paul Dechow, a biomedical science professor from Dallas, had just gotten off an Eagle flight for what he thought would be the first of many trips to Albany. He's collaborating with researchers here on a National Science Foundation project, and is a platinum-level frequent flier on American.
"Today's flight was packed," he said. "There wasn't a seat to be had."
But the airline wasn't making enough money to justify continuing service.
"It's not just the regional jets," said spokeswoman Huguely. "It's the fares you can charge in the market. It's the cost of fuel, the cost of labor."
A summary of American's top 150 airports for 2007 showed that Albany ranked 131st by revenue, according to figures from the Albany County Airport Authority. It carries just three of every 100 passengers here, and brought in about $6.5 million in revenue last year.
By comparison, Southwest Airlines, Albany's largest carrier, brought in nearly six times that amount.
Still, American's long history means there are plenty of people who are part of its frequent-flier program and have unused miles.
Huguely said they could drive to another airport to redeem their miles, or spend them in other ways at the airline's Web site. She said passengers on flights after Nov. 1 should call American to rebook out of another airport or to get a refund.
American began flying in Albany as Colonial Airlines in 1929, said airport spokesman Doug Myers. Through the years it often was one of only two or three carriers operating here.
But deregulation in 1978 helped attract a slew of new carriers. Among them was United Airlines, which flew in direct competition with American on the route between Albany and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Southwest began serving Chicago's Midway Airport with two daily nonstop flights three years ago.
American downsized at Albany International Airport as competition heated up, moving from 727s and MD80s to 50-seat regional jets. But those small aircraft have become the least profitable to operate as fuel costs have jumped.
Half the scheduled flights at Albany are aboard regional jets, and the Business Travel Coalition on Wednesday identified the airport as one of several dozen nationwide that could see deep cuts in service because of fuel costs.
American Eagle also said it will end service at Providence, R.I.; Harrisburg, Pa.; Samana, Dominican Republic; and San Luis Obispo, Calif., where it will also close its maintenance base.
At LaGuardia Airport, American will cut five flights and Eagle will cut 37. American is ending service to Oakland, Calif., London Stansted, and Barranquilla, Colombia.
Mark Bardack, a public relations executive with Ed Lewi Associates in Clifton Park, has a trip booked for late October to the West Coast on American.
"This is a voucher trip because they never got me home last year," he said. "This is a potential nightmare for me. I'm on a strict schedule there."
But he's in luck: He will be back home before American Eagle ends its Albany flights. Anderson can be reached at 454-5323 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Carla Marciano is an Italian saxophonist and composer from Salerno, considered by the critics as one of the most talented new Italian musicians. She plays alto and sopranino saxophones with great passion and instinctivity and is appreciated for the deep energy, the particularly articulated phrasing and the unusual interpretative vein and sense of composition. Moreover she is numbered among the most notable jazz musicians using the sopranino saxophone, one of the least common of the saxophones in regular use today.
She started studying music at the age of eleven, first playing the piano and then the alto saxophone and she graduated in clarinet at the Conservatory of Music in Salerno...

This Olympus 45mm F/1.8 Mirrorless Bundle comes with: New Leaf PLUS 3yr Lens Warranty ( $19.95 Value) and Shipping is free! .
M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f1.8 lens (90mm equivalent): This single focal length portrait lens has a beautiful shallow depth of field, which enables the background blurring effects not possible with the 14-42mm kit zoom lens. The MSCmechanism is great for tracking a moving child or pet, and provides a quick and silent focus mechanism for movies and still photography.
This is a great portrait lens; a must have for your camera bag!
I use two systems, a Nikon D800 with a good selection of lenses and my Oly EM-1, also with a nice selection of lenses and this 45mm 1.8, in terms of intended use, compares to my Nikkor 85mm 1.4. This M Zuiko 45mm is a very nice lens, very sharp with good bokeh and I have had some fantastic results using it for portraits as well as other shots where I wanted a shallow DOF. The camera and lens is WAY smaller and lighter than my D800 & 85mm so the Oly has become my daily carry-camera. For its price, compact size, quality and speed, I think this lens is excellent.
This lens is crazy sharp! The only downside is the plastic body, but it helps keep the lens light I guess.
This is great little lens. It is very sharp, very light and a good value. Focus is quick and manual focusing is is a snap too. I rate this lens higher than I rate Panasonic's 20mm f1.7 lens, and that is high praise indeed. If you shoot micro four thirds and do not have this lens, get it. I am happier with this lens than any others I have had. My only negate it they are small ones is that it does not come with a lens pouch or lens hood
It's worth 4.5 stars. All I can say is sharp. The resolving power on an E-M5 is shocking, even at pixel peeping. 5 for sharpness. Focus is fast, should say very fast. Very good in low light, not near darkness. This lens is good for more than portraits, I like the focal length on an M43 body. Better at isolating some subjects. My gripe with most Olympus Lenses is minimum focus distance. Personally, just a little more close focus would be nice. Bought this with the hood. Olympus: Why a world class lens without a hood? Let me say it again, this is good for well lit indoors if you can use a narrower feild of view. This should be on every M43 body at some time, IMHO. Build is solid, not cheap.
I just got this lens but the pix I have taken to test it look excellent.
I am very happy with my purchase of this lens. It is compact and produce sharp results. I've joked in regards to really good looking pictures that "it's not the photographer, it's the camera" and with this lens it's really the first time I was happy about the pictures I've taken. This lens is the initial reason why I've taken up an interest in photography.
One of the best quality lenses I have seen in this format. Amazing Bokeh!
simply great
The Olympus 45mm 1.8 lens is amazing, this is my first lens so i don't really have much to compare it to. The depth of the focus is pretty amazing. This lens is a perfect portrait lens and is very good at taken photos at anything, because the lens does all the work for you. The auto focus is pretty darn fast and the colors are great too. For people who are not in to portraiture the Olympus 45mm is still an outstanding lens to have. I found a web page that goes in to more detail on the lens here http://www.squidoo.com/olympus-45mm-1-8-review i hope this helps anyone who is looking to invest in the lens.

About This Book
Ewetopia is not comfortable in her own wool, and every attempt she makes to impress the other sheep falls flat. So when an invitation to the Woolyones' Costume Ball arives, Ewetopia knows her chance to shine has come at last. After trying on fifty-eight different costumes, she finally finds the perfect one--or so she thinks. But her wolf ensemble turns out to be none too popular with Rambunctious, Ramshackle, and Ramplestiltskin, so Ewetopia finds herself standing all alone again when a stranger enters the room. He is dressed simply as a sheep, but he is so handsome, none of the other sheep notice anything peculiar about his costume choice. Ewecalyptus, Ewetensil, and Heyewe all look on as the newcomer chooses to dance with none other than Ewetopia. But as they dance across the floor, Ewetopia begins to wonder about her mysterious partner: Why is his growl so deep? Why does he have such long, sharp claws? And why does he keep calling her Mother?!!!

Bells Company Awarded $7,846 in Job Training Grant
NASHVILLE - Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner James Neeley has awarded $7,846 to American Die Casting Inc. in Bells, Tennessee. American Die Casting Inc. is a manufacturer of aluminum and zinc castings, utilizing semi-solid forming technology and high-pressure die casting. The company currently has 25 employees. American Die Casting Inc. is one of several companies across the state that have applied for the Incumbent Worker Training grant.
The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development (TDLWD) administers the Incumbent Worker Training program. The program has been structured to be flexible to meet the business's training objectives. The business may use public, private, or its own in-house training provider based on the nature of the training
"American Die Casting Inc. has met comprehensive criteria to qualify for this grant. I am proud to award this grant money to keep more West Tennessee workers on the job," said Commissioner Neeley. "The Incumbent Worker Training Program provides grant funding for customized training for existing for-profit businesses. Through this customer-driven program, Tennessee is able to effectively retain and keep businesses competitive through the upgrading of skills training for existing full-time employees."
American Die Casting Inc. Office Manager Jodie Rank said, "Participating in this training program allows us the opportunity to provide substantial training to our employees. This grant will help strengthen our existing workforce, which will improve our company's competitiveness and also increase the overall development of our workforce."
Dyersburg State Community College, the Northwest Tennessee Workforce Board, and the TDLWD worked together as a team to award the grant to American Die Casting.
The following criteria must be met to qualify for the Incumbent Worker Training Program. Employers must be operation in Tennessee for at least one year prior to application date. Employers must have at least one full-time employee, demonstrate financial viability and be current on all state tax obligations. Funding priority is given to businesses whose grant proposals represent a significant layoff avoidance strategy and represent a significant upgrade of skills. More Tennessee companies will be receiving incumbent worker grants in the coming months, totaling close to $1 million dollars.

Community volunteer says she's ready for council
WILDOMAR - Sheryl Ade scours through inches-thick county planning documents, looking for potential impacts to the Wildomar area. She attends meetings, including the recent general plan update meeting in Riverside. She checks the county Web page to inspect design guidelines.
When Ade spots something important online, "I download it, read it and act on it," she said.
The 52-year-old city council hopeful, who listed her occupation as "community volunteer" on her candidate's statement, said she was spurred to get involved in 2002 as growth and development issues began to affect Wildomar.
Now it's become the time equivalent of a full-time job, one that has prepared her if she is elected to serve on the inaugural Wildomar city council, she said.
Area voters will decide in February whether to incorporate and, if so, which of the 14 candidates should serve on the inaugural five-person council. Voters also will be asked to decide if the council members should be elected on an at-large or a district basis. The other 13 candidates on the ballot include Gary Andre, Steve Beutz, Martha Bridges, Bob Cashman, Harv Dykstra, Scott Farnam, Roger Le Clerc, Bridgette Moore, Darrell Ruff, Marsha Swanson, Michael Tierney, Tim Underdown and Paul Williams.
Ade moved to the Wildomar area from Orange County 19 years ago.
"Orange County was too … claustrophobic. I'm originally from the Midwest and it (life in Orange County) was getting depressing," she said.
While Southwest County has grown since she arrived, it still retains the charm she was initially drawn to, she said.
"You still have the mountains, the vistas, the panoramas. We still have a lot of open areas. I'm good with the whole valley here. Nature is close by and that makes a huge difference to me," she said.
Ade's volunteering career as an advocate for the community was kickstarted, in part, when Murrieta officials considered annexing a prime slice of Wildomar, the commercial area around Clinton Keith Road and the nearby new housing developments.
Ade says she helped prove that not everyone in the area wanted to be a part of Murrieta after talking to Wildomar residents and gathering signatures of people who were against the annexation.
Her other civic involvement includes serving as the chair of the Wildomar Land Development Review Committee, serving on the Wildomar Round Table Committee and representing the area on the county's Municipal Advisory Council. She also was the secretary of Wildomar Incorporation Now, the group that pushed to get the incorporation vote on the upcoming ballot.
Ade is not running on a slate, but she has teamed with candidate Gary Andre on a campaign flier that details their shared beliefs.
"We're doing it as a money-saving thing. Our views are similar, so why have two brochures when you can have one?" she asked.
While she had the opportunity to team up with some of the other candidates who worked for incorporation, Ade said she weighed the pros and cons and decided not to run as a slate.
"I want to do this on my own," she said.

looking at getting a netbook to use on holidays [wife likes her surfing] for the internet. I had always thought MSI & Samsung were the better two makes. But a bit out of touch these days.
what our priority specs are
long battery life. 2g of RAM for internet use mainly, do not want a slow sluggish netbook. comes with restore dongle / cd so if the hdd died i could restore to a new hdd [the restore dvd option in our sony laptop does not allow this on a new hdd so dont want that scenario again] cost looking cheaper end, will not need fancy software except windows 7 etc.
any tips, advice, links please. not in a rush just yet needed for autum but may buy sooner if i see a good option.

Earlier I suggested the Asus Transformer as an alternative to a netbook and this does have the advantage of being able to dock with a keyboard which would overcome your wife's difficulty with a tablet. To me it is the best of both worlds and I just wish I had the means to buy it.

With regard to the Samsung I believe the 'salesman' has got the wrong information. You can download the manual from Samsung and see that the procedure needs you to make backup disks that you will then use to restore the system if things go wrong. Probably he is confusing using the bios to boot from usb external drive. Obvious on-cost is that you will need an external DVD writer, but this will no doubt apply to most netbooks. Samsung Manual

The BIOS as nothing to do with the Restore DVD's its contained in the CMOS chip.
BIOS is Software that is used to setup the Hardware. Samsung Restore Discs are supplied with the Netbook Mine was for my nc10
PS Updating the BIOS may allow 2 Gig of ram to be used, but if its only one slot it means buying a 2 Gig stick of Ram. and removing the old one stick

thankyou for the advice, when the salesman in maplin told me, he sound so confident and I thought that was a good idea and surprised i had never heard of it and thought there was a memory card of some sort inside with the factory image on.
just shows we can all get had over but salesmen either being dodgy or lacking knoweledge of their products.
not too keen on the detachable keyboard option. might loook at a mini laptop with good battery time any opinions please.

Last piece of advice, make sure you buy it with some time to spare before you go on holiday. Then check for all Windows updates. It's doubtful whether SP1 will be on there already and the last thing you want is to be away from home and faced with an install that can take an hour +. It has you chewing your fingernails wondering if the battery will last long enough or will you end up with a corrupt update.

I have the same sort of question and seem to have narrowed my choice down to the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 11 and the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101.
But the Asus runs the Android 3 OS so (and I show my ignorance here) does this mean that my applications which run on my Windows 7 desktop won't run on the Asus?
If so then it will have to be the Thinkpad (which has Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, same as my desktop).
Do you (Sunnystaines) need to run all sorts of applications or what ? This might influence your choice. Or have I misunderstood the principle of the Android OS?

Thanks folks, I agree that Windows 7 is preferable, so have ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad. I spend up to 9 hours on Wednesdays sitting around at a Blackburn hospital while wife has treatment so I shall have a happy time exploring the Lenovo. Might even need a spare battery if they only run for 3 hours ! Thanks.

Growing up, a trip to the library was usually doomed to be frustrating because I could never decide which books to check out; hence (and with Sunday School visions of King Solomon's, er, radical problem-solving techniques still in my head), I removed any agency I had in the matter & plucked books at random, careful to avoid reading the spines--I even carried this contrivance all the way to the check-out, staring at my nail beds while the books were swiped, bagged, and shoved my way.

Thankfully, I'm no celebrity. But that doesn't stop people from confusing me with Adam Sandler, Jason Biggs, Ben Stiller, Jerry Seinfeld or even, once, Seth Green. Now, would you confuse any one of those four guys for another? By asking me for Jerry Seinfeld's autograph in Ikea (verily I say unto thee) are you actually saying I'm really just a familiar, funny, Jewish face?
