Maria, Lady Winter, shut the lid of her enameled patch box with a decisive snap. Her revulsion for the mirrored reflection of the man who sat behind her made her stomach roil. Taking a deep breath, she kept her gaze trained on the stage below, but her attention was riveted by the incomparably handsome man who sat in the shadows of her theater box.
"Your turn will come," she murmured, maintaining her regal façade for the benefit of the many lorgnettes pointed in her direction. She had worn crimson silk tonight, accented by delicate black lace frothing from elbow-length sleeves. It was her most-worn color. Not because it suited her Spanish heritage coloring so well-dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin-but because it was a silent warning. Bloodshed. Stay away.
The Wintry Widow, the voyeurs whispered. Two husbands dead ... and counting.
Angel of death. How true that was. Everyone around her died, except for the man she cursed to Hades.
The low chuckle at her shoulder made her skin crawl. "It will take more than you, my dearest daughter, to see me to my reward."
"Your reward will be my blade in your heart," she hissed.
"Ah, but then you will neverbe reunited with your sister, and she almost of age."
"Do not think to threaten me, Welton. Once Amelia is wed, I will know her location and will have no further need for your life. Consider that before you think to do to her what you have done to me."
"I could sell her into the slave trade," he drawled.
"You assume, incorrectly, that I did not anticipate your threat." Fluffing the lace at her elbow, she managed a slight curve to her lips to hide her terror. "I will know. And then you will die."
She felt him stiffen and her smile turned genuine. Ten and six was her age when Welton had ended her life. Anticipation for the day when she would pay him in kind was all that moved her when despair for her sister threatened paralysis.
"St. John."
The name hung suspended in the air between them.
Maria's breath caught. "Christopher St. John?"
It was rare that anything surprised her anymore. At the age of six and twenty, she believed she had seen and done nearly everything. "He has coin aplenty, but marriage to him will ruin me, making me less effective for your aims."
"Marriage is not necessary this time. I've not yet depleted Lord Winter's settlement. This is simply a search for information. I believe they are engaging St. John in some business. I want you to discover what it is they want with him, and most importantly, who arranged his release from prison."
Maria smoothed the bloodred material that pooled around her legs. Her two unfortunate husbands had been agents of the Crown whose jobs made them highly useful to her stepfather. They had also been peers of great wealth, much of which they left to her for Welton's disposal upon their untimely demise.
Lifting her head, she looked around the theater, absently noting the curling smoke of candles and gilded scrollwork that shone in firelight. The soprano on the stage struggled for attention, for no one was here to see her. The peerage was here to see each other and be seen, nothing more.
"Interesting," Maria murmured, recalling a sketch of the popular pirate. Uncommon handsome he was, and as deadly as she. His exploits were widely bandied, some tales so outrageous she knew they could not possibly be true. St. John was discussed with intemperate eagerness, and there were wagers aplenty on how long he could escape the noose.
"They must be desperate indeed to spare him. All these years they have searched for the irrefutable proof of his villainy, and now that they have it, they bring him into the fold. I daresay neither side is pleased."
"I do not care how they feel," Welton dismissed curtly. "I simply wish to know who I can extort to keep quiet about it."
"Such faith in my charms," she drawled, hiding how her mouth filled with bile. To think of the deeds she had been forced into to protect and serve a man she detested ... Her chin lifted. It was not her stepfather she protected and served. She merely needed him alive, for if he were killed, she would never find Amelia.
Welton ignored her jibe. "Have you any notion what that information would be worth?"
She gave a nearly imperceptible nod, aware of the avid scrutiny that followed her every movement. Society knew her husbands had not died natural deaths. But they lacked proof. Despite this morbid certainty of her guilt, she was welcomed into the finest homes eagerly. She was infamous. And nothing livened up a gathering like a touch of infamy.
"How do I find him?"
"You have your ways." He stood, looming over her in the shadows of the rear box, but Maria was not cowed. Aside from concern for Amelia, nothing frightened her any longer.
Welton's fingers lifted one of her curls. "Your sister's hair is so like yours. Even powder cannot truly hide its gloss."
"Go away."
His laughter lingered long after he parted the curtains and exited to the gallery. How many years would she be forced to endure that sound? The investigators who worked for her were unable to turn up anything of value. Brief sightings of her sister and barely warm trails. So many times she had been close ... But Welton was always one step ahead.
While every day her soul grew blacker at his behest.
"Do not be fooled by her outward appearance. Yes, she is short of stature and tiny, but she is an asp waiting to strike."
Christopher St. John settled more firmly in his seat, disregarding the agent of the Crown who shared the box with him. His eyes were riveted to the crimson-clad woman who sat across the theater expanse. Having spent his entire life living amongst the dregs of society, he knew affinity when he saw it.
Wearing a dress that gave the impression of warmth and bearing the coloring of hot-blooded Spanish sirens, Lady Winter was nevertheless as icy as her title. And his assignment was to warm her up, ingratiate himself into her life, and then learn enough about her to see her hanged in his place.
A distasteful business, that. But a fair trade in his estimation. He was a pirate and thief by trade, she a bloodthirsty and greedy vixen.
"She has at least a dozen men working for her," Viscount Sedgewick said. "Some watch the wharves, others roam the countryside. Her interest in the agency is obvious and deadly. With your reputation for mayhem, you two are very much alike. We cannot see how she could resist any offer of assistance on your part."
Christopher sighed; the prospect of sharing his bed with the beautiful Wintry Widow was vastly unappealing. He knew her kind, too concerned over their appearance to enjoy an abandoned tumble. Her livelihood was contingent upon her ability to attract wealthy suitors. She would not wish to become sweaty or tax herself overmuch. It could ruin her hair.
Yawning, he asked, "May I depart now, my lord?"
Sedgewick shook his head. "You must begin immediately, or you will forfeit this opportunity."
It took great effort on Christopher's part to bite back his retort. The agency would learn soon enough that he danced to no one's tune but his own. "Leave the details to me. You wish me to pursue both personal and professional relations with Lady Winter, and I shall."
Christopher stood and casually adjusted his coat. "However, she is a woman who seeks the secure financial prospects of marriage, which makes it impossible for a bachelor such as myself to woo her first and then progress from the bed outward. We will instead have to start with business and seal our association with sex. It is how these things are done."
"You are a frightening individual," Sedgewick said dryly.
Christopher glanced over his shoulder as he pushed the black curtain aside. "It would be wise of you to remember that."
The sensation of being studied with predatory intent caused the hair at Maria's nape to rise. Turning her head, she studied every box across from her but saw nothing untoward. Still, her instincts were what kept her alive, and she trusted them implicitly.
Someone's interest was more than mere curiosity.
The low tone of men's voices in the gallery behind her drew her attention away from the fruitless visual search. Most would hear nothing over the rabble in the pit below and the carrying notes of the singer, but she was a hunter, her senses fine-tuned.
"The Wintry Widow's box."
"Ah ..." a man murmured knowingly. "Worth the risk for a few hours in that fancy piece. She is incomparable, a goddess among women."
Maria snorted. A curse, that.
The girlish pleasure she had once felt for having uncommon beauty died the day her stepfather leered and said, "You shall fetch me a fortune, my pet."
It was only one of many deaths in her short life.
The first was her beloved father. She remembered him as unrestrained and vital, a dashing man who laughed often and adored her Spanish mother. Then he fell ill and wasted away. Later, Maria would become intimately familiar with the signs of poison. At the time, however, she knew only fear and confusion, which worsened when her mother introduced her to a dark-haired, beautiful man who was to replace her father.
"Maria, child," her mother had said in her softly accented voice. "This is Viscount Welton. He and I plan to wed."
She had heard the name before. Her father's closest friend. Why her mother wished to remarry was beyond her immature comprehension. Had her father meant so little?
"He wishes to send you to the best academies," was the explanation. "You will have the future your father wished for you."
Sent away. That was all she heard.
The wedding took place and Lord Welton took over, whisking them to the moors to a house that resembled a medieval castle. Maria hated it. It was cold, drafty, and scary, so very far removed from the golden-bricked home they had lived in before.
Welton begat a daughter on his new wife and then promptly left them. Maria went to school, and he went to Town where he drank, whored, and gambled her father's money to his heart's content. Her mother grew paler, thinner; her hair began to fall out. The illness was hidden from Maria until the last possible moment.
She was sent for only when the end was near and assured. Returning to her stepfather's home, she found the Viscountess Welton a ghost of the woman she had been only months before, her vibrancy depleting along with their coffers.
"Maria, my darling," her mother whispered on her deathbed, her dark eyes pleading. "Forgive me. Welton was so kind after your father passed. I-I did not see beyond the façade."
"All will be well, Mama," she had lied. "Your health will improve and we can leave him."
"No. You must-"
"Please do not say any more. You need rest."
Her mother's grip was surprisingly strong for a woman so wan, a physical manifestation of her urgency. "You must protect your sister from him. He cares not at all that she is his own blood. He will use her, as he has used me. As he intends to use you. Amelia is not strong like you. She has none of the strength of your father's blood."
She had stared at her mother in dismay. In the decade of the Welton marriage, Maria had learned many things, but most of all she had learned that beneath Lord Welton's incomparably handsome face, Mephistopheles dwelled.
"I am not old enough," she breathed, the tears falling. She spent most of her time at school, training to become a woman Welton could exploit. But on her occasional visits, she watched the way the viscount belittled her mother with razor-sharp barbs. The servants told her of raucous voices and pained screams. Bruises. Blood. Bed rest for weeks after he left.
Seven-year-old Amelia remained in her rooms when her father was in residence, frightened and alone. No governess would stay long with them.
"Yes, you are," Cecille whispered, her lips white, her eyes red. "When I go, I will give what strength I have to you. You will feel me, my sweet Maria, and your father. We will support you."
Those words were her only anchor in the years that followed.
"Is she dead?" Welton had asked flatly when Maria emerged from the room. His bright green eyes held no emotion at all.
"Yes." She waited with bated breath and shaking hands.
"Make whatever arrangements you desire."
Nodding, she turned away, the swishing of her heavy silk skirts loud in the deathly silence of the house.
"Maria." The soft drawl floated ominously after her.
She paused and faced him again, studying her stepfather with new appreciation of his evil, absently noting the broad shoulders, trim hips, and long legs that so many women found appealing. Despite the coldness within him, his green eyes, dark hair, and rakish smile made him the handsomest man she had ever seen. The devil's gift for his black-as-sin soul.
"Tell Amelia about Cecille's passing, will you? I am running late and do not have the time."
Maria was devastated at the thought of the task ahead. Added to the near-crippling pain of her mother's loss, she almost sank to the floor, crushed beneath her stepfather's heel. But the strength her mother promised her stiffened her spine and lifted her chin.
Welton laughed at her bravado. "I knew you would be perfect. Worth the trouble your mother gave me." She watched him turn on his heel and take the stairs to the main floor, disregarding his wife completely.
What could she say to her sister to ease the blow? Amelia had none of the happy memories that sustained Maria. Now the child was orphaned, for her father might as well have been dead for all the attention he paid to her.
"Hello, poppet," Maria greeted softly as she entered her sibling's room, bracing herself to absorb the impact of the small body hurtling toward her.
Clutching her sister close, Maria moved them toward the bed draped in dark blue silk that contrasted gently with the pale blue of the damask-covered walls. She rocked the sobbing child in her arms and cried silent tears. They had only each other now.
"What will we do?" Amelia asked in her precious voice.
"Survive," Maria said quietly. "And stay together. I will protect you. Never doubt that."
They fell asleep and when she woke, she found Amelia gone.
And her life had changed forever.
Suddenly eager to be productive in some manner, Maria rose to her feet. She pushed the curtain aside and stepped out to the gallery. The two footmen who stood on either side to keep the ambitiously amorous away snapped to attention. "My carriage," she said to one. He hurried away.
Then she was bumped none too gently from behind, and as she stumbled, was caught close to a hard body.
"I beg your pardon," murmured a deliciously raspy voice so near to her ear she felt the vibration of it.
The sound stilled her, caught her breath and held it. She stood unmoving, her senses flaring to awareness far more acute than usual. One after another, impressions bombarded her-a hard chest at her back, a firm arm wrapped beneath her breasts, a hand at her waist, and the rich scent of bergamot mixed with virile male. He did not release her; instead his grip upon her person tightened.
"Unhand me," she said, her voice low and filled with command.
"When I am ready to, I will."
His ungloved hand lifted to cup her throat, his touch heating the rubies that circled her neck until they burned. Callused fingertips touched her pulse, stroking it, making it race. He moved with utter confidence, no hesitation, as if he possessed the right to fondle her whenever and wherever he chose, even in this public venue. Yet he was undeniably gentle. Despite the possession of his hold, she could writhe free if she chose, but a sudden weakness in her limbs prevented her from moving.
Her gaze moved to her remaining footman, ordering him silently to do something to assist her. The servant's wide eyes were trained above her head, his throat working convulsively as he swallowed hard. Then he looked away.
She sighed. Apparently, she would have to save herself.
Her next action was goaded as much by instinct as by forethought. She moved her hand, setting it over his wrist, allowing him to feel the sharp point of the blade she hid in a custom-made ring. The man froze. And then laughed. "I do so love a good surprise."
"I cannot say the same."
"Frightened?" he queried.
"Of blood on my gown? Yes," she retorted dryly. "It is one of my favorites."
"Ah, but then it would more aptly match the blood on your hands"-he paused, his tongue tracing the shell of her ear, making her shiver even as her skin flushed-"and mine."
"Who are you?"
"I am what you need." (Continues...)

I've been on a pirate kick for several weeks having devoured 17 books in as little time as possible. I stumbled across Sylvia Day's Bad Boy's Ahoy and was devastatingly disappointed. I had purchased both that title and Passion For the Game at the same time and was not looking forward to reading the latter. Having nothing left in my library of 'Pirate' reads, I picked up Passion and simply could NOT put the book down. Sylvia Day redeemed herself in the first chapter of this book. Great story line, unbelievable characters and the sex wasn't so bad, either. I find I'm at a loss once again, however, upon finishing the book. I hate that feeling!!

PASSION FOR THE GAME by Sylvia Day is another exciting Georgian Erotic Historical Romance set in England. An re-issue edition. #2 in the "Georgian" series,but again can be read as a stand alone.See, "Ask For It". What an exciting series this is thus far. I absolutely love this series.We follow,Christopher St. John,criminal,and smuggler whom we seen briefly in "Ask For It" and determined to find justice for his murdered half brother and gain his freedom. And Maria, Lady Winter,infamous in Society,dubbed the Wintry Widow, but far from it to some and determined to find and bring home her little sister,Amelia, who is being held by her evil stepfather,in order to force Maria to do his bidding. Both are charming,suspicious,fiercely loyal,either of them are to be crossed and wanted by the Crown for their misdeeds. Fast paced and filled with danger,passion,lust,lies,deceit,secrets,agents of the Crown and did I mention passionate love scenes. Together,Maria and St. John learn to trust each other,love blossoms,and justice to be found. Once again, Ms. Day draws the reader into this powerful story of not only passion,but family,rather true family or street family,and an intriguing plot. A sizzling love story from beginning to the last page and one you will want to continue to the next installment of this delicious "Georgian" series. While, I read this out of sequence,for I read "A Passion For Him" first,which is #3 in the Georgian series,and is the story of Amelia and Colin,before "Passion For The Game" it did not take away from the story. I was eager to learn more of St. John and Maria and was not disappointed. I would highly recommend this title for not only Erotic readers,but for historical romance readers and anyone who enjoys a great read and "Passion For The Game". Received for an honest review from the publisher.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today its Clean Power Plan proposed rule to reduce carbon emissions from the nation's power plants by 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Acting under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, EPA's proposal would impose a federal carbon emissions rate (stated in pounds of carbon emitted per megawatt-hour of electric energy generated) for each state. EPA would set each state's limit based on a case-by-case evaluation of each state's portfolio of generation resources and EPA's evaluation of its opportunities to reduce carbon emissions. However, states will have the flexibility to determine how to meet the set limits. States will be free, on their own or in collaboration with other states, to design a program to achieve those rates in a way that makes the most sense for their unique situation. Each state's solution could combine diverse fuels, energy efficiency, and demand-side management.
This proposal is a key element of President Obama's Climate Action Plan, aimed at curbing emissions from the power sector which, according to the EPA, is responsible for 40 percent of the United States' carbon dioxide emissions. Further, it will reduce pollutants such as soot and lead by approximately 25 percent. In announcing the Climate Action Plan, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy discussed how emissions limits are critical for improving human health (1 in 10 children in the United States currently suffer from asthma) and to address risks posed by global climate change. McCarthy outlined that not only will rising temperatures cause more smog, asthma, and longer allergy seasons, but extreme weather events will impact economic productivity, raise insurance premiums, and threaten jobs.
The rule is now out for public comment through the summer, with EPA projecting a final rule by June 2015. However, given that this proposed rule directly impacts the nation's coal industry, legal challenges will likely be quickly mounted by coal companies and other power generators opposed to this climate-oriented regulation.

"35 Year Old Breast Augmentation Post..."
After breast feeding 2 children for 2 years I had lost all volume and most breast tissue. I thought for sure I would need a lift and wanted to fill the lost volume with a natural result. It was very important to me that it look natural as the mother of daughters. I was concerned about the message I would be relaying to them. Dr. O really listened. He wanted to give me an excellent result with... more
"29 Yrs Old, No kids, 5'6, 109 lbs, 320cc"
Just got back from my pre-op appointment! Super excited! So at my first, initial consult appointment, we tried on 290, 320 and 350cc sizers, based on my BWD. Even though my PS said it would be a game-time decision when I'm on the table, as far as which one we'd go with.. I guess I still left there, thinking that 350 would be possible. So I made 350 rice sizers and felt pretty settled and... more

I think my measurements are like.. 31-23-34. So I have a narrow rib cage and small waist, but feel like I'm semi-"hippy," considering my upper torso. So I've wanted a BA for like.. my whole life.. just to balance that out,... more

Elaine Lauterstein's mother passed away about three years ago. Shortly before her death, she gave Lauterstein her fur coat. Wanting to make sure the coat was properly cared for, Lauterstein decided to store it with Morris Kay & Sons Furriers.
It cost her $65 a year to store the fur and Lauterstein never thought anything about it at all until she received a yearly renewal contract from Morris Kay & Sons. In the fine print of that contract was a line saying the company was only responsible for up to $100 if the fur was lost of damaged.
Lauterstein said she almost had a heart attack when she read it. So she called the store and told them she was coming to get her coat. Two days later, and right before Lauterstein was going out of town, she picked up the coat.
It was wrapped in plastic and had paperwork with Lauterstein's name on it, so she took the coat and went home. Once there, Lauterstein took the coat out of the plastic and saw it wasn't her mother's coat. Lauterstein said she immediately called the store and was told not to worry, they'll find it and call back.
When she returned from her trip, Lauterstein said there was no message from Morris Kay, so she called the store. The young lady on the other end apologized and said they couldn't find the coat, so they would be willing to pay Lauterstein the $100 despite the coat was worth thousands.
Not willing to accept that, Lauterstein called store owner Carol Kay, who Lauterstein said immediately told her to bring the other coat back to the store, now! Lauterstein told her she will bring the coat back when they find her mother's coat.
That's when Lauterstein said Carol Kay got very angry and accused her of using the other coat for leverage. She allegedly told Lauterstein to just keep that coat and they'll call it even.
That's when Lauterstein called Eyewitness Wants To Know.
We went by Morris Kay & Sons and Carol Kay wasn't there. The sales staff was very cordial until the phone rang. Carol Kay was on the other end. I had already given the staff a business card with my cell number on it. After hanging up, the salesperson immediately ended our conversation and escorted me to the door.
Carol Kay has yet to call back. Lauterstein said she is taking the mink coat she was told to keep to the police station and will be filing a theft report against Morris Kay & sons.
We'll let you know what happens.

Didier Drogba has been left at home by Chelsea as they kickoff their tour of the Far East.
Drogba's omission seems certain to raise further questions about his future, however, with a virtually full-strength squad travelling to play games in China and Malaysia before returning to Europe for the Railways Cup in Moscow.
Another player rumoured to be on his way from the Londoners, Inter Milan target Frank Lampard, is included in the party.
New boys Deco and Jose Bosingwa are in Luiz Felipe Scolari's squad, while Michael Ballack will link up with them in China after finishing a post-Euro 2008 holiday.
Scolari will take charge of his first match as Chelsea manager on Wednesday against Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals.
"The players are not ready yet totally, but we are starting to build a new team and a new philosophy," the Brazilian told chelseafc.com.
"This is just the beginning, and I expect after these five games that I will have a general idea about all the players and a system."

Hulk Conversion and other sculpting attempts...
I really loved the Planet Hulk series of graphic novels and was inspired to make the Green Scar. I took a Marvel Heroscape Hulk and stripped the paint. Then I shaved off the ragged pants and started adding the gladiator outfit with Green Stuff and Procreate. The last photo is the final painted version.
This was the beginning for me - next it was my first full figure!!!

That is badass!
I wish the axe was silver/boltgun metal on top (the choppy part) to add contrast.
How does green stuff work? I am guessing it dries by itself as you sculpt, because you can't put plastic statues into the oven as far as I can guess.

jaroldsng - Thanks man!
Pavel - Thanks - glad you like it. Kneadatite (Green Stuff) is an epoxy originally invented for plumbing purposes. Matter of fact I have fixed my toilet with it! But, mixed about half yellow and half blue gets you ~1.5 - 2 hours work time and no need to bake. It also can be mixed with a tiny bit of Super Sculpey firm for another good couple hours work time.
Here is my very first full sculpt. It is a Indiana Jones inspired figure (obv) and man does it have some problems!! The clothes are all wrong, hats too small or head too big or both, surfaces aren't as smooth as they should be.. etc etc. But instead of scrapping or getting frustrated with it I just continued on and finished which, for some odd reason I can't fathom, is a very difficult thing for me to do. Anyway, he's 32 mm to the eyes...

Here was the result finished up about January. 22mm to the eyes and while I knew I still had a long way to go I was happy that this one was better quality than Indy - yay progress!!...

Wow... Love the armor on the hulk fig. The "Indy," is very cool, but the mouse is just bad to the bone. Love it. Cool little guy.

Well fooey.... I've been asked to not post my last commission for a while. It was 10 figures and I just finished it last week. So in order to keep improving I think I'll post a WIP. Haven't actually taken pics of the model yet which is about 40% done - but here is the concept art that I drew up. I need this one to be good cuz its an audition piece - so once I get the WIP pics up please dont hold back on the crits, please.
Til I come up with a better name here's the drawing for "Gunslinger Chick"
August 3rd, 2010 #13
Here's my first couple WIP pics for my gunslinging gal...
man - on a 28mm fig taking pictures like this and seeing things so close really brings out the errors. Things I'm happy with are the boots and the belts. not happy with the holsters or her hips I think she need to be a bit narrower in the waist. Anyway - severe crits welcomed.
August 11th, 2010 #14
Cool! I really like the WIP pics of the Gunslinger chick! Keep it up!

Hey Ape!! I appreciate that! Thanks for stopping by.

Cool stuff. I love seeing small scale stuff like this. That Hulk looks awesome.
The gunslinger is coming along nicely. Like you said if the hips or even just the waist was thinner I think that would help out.

Thanks for all the positive comments!! Keeps me going, it really does!
Here's an update on Gunslinger Chick. I was totally unsatisfied and I had gotten ahead of myself with the underpinning for the duster - so I removed it. Also removed the gunbelt and holsters so I could address the hip problem. So now I have widened the hips just a little and shaved down the waist. Also added the all-important boobs. Bear in mind that the breasts and stomach are still yet to be covered by a vest - thats why they are high and pushed it toward the middle. Bah! now they are looking a tad lopsided!! ick!! It'll be try #3 if I redo them... sigh....
Here also is another commission - bet ya can't guess who it is!!! Some anatomy problems and the head is a tad large but overall the client is very happy so I am not going to back up. Still to add are the hands, the crown of thorns, the INRI sign and a scenic base. Crits and Comments very much appreciated

I feel like you need to pull jesus up higher onto the cross, he looks too low. And i want to see more rib definition personally

August 17th, 2010 #20
Good call on the ribs, duh!!- Thanks!!
August 17th, 2010 #21
Looking good dude. Three tries is not so bad. Females are tough, and hard to sculpt as well. Lol

lol - yeah, females are tough... Im darn near scraping this gal and restarting - Im backing up too often and shaving things down... maybe a fresh start is in order here.
I took Pavel's suggestion and added some rib definition on Jeezus - it definitely looks better. Update soon.
August 19th, 2010 #23
Jesus, now with ribs!! (and BBQ sauce) Left side's not reading to well because of lighting but it pretty much mirrors the right side. Improvement I hope.
August 19th, 2010 #24
A common problem with jesus-on-cross sculpts/pictures is that the pectorals are too big, for jesus to have pecs that thick he would be a bodybuilder/bench-press competitor. So basically, when people are strung up by the hands, the muscles in the chest are stretched out and, unless he carries A LOT of bulk, would not be that visible. =)

I totally see what you are saying, Kab. I definitely know that I will have to pay more attention to anatomy issues. Unfortunately I dont have time to back up on this piece. It is dragging on and since the client is happy I am anxious to be done and move on, knowing that I will do it differently and hopefully better next time. Matter of fact, I have started a new piece, an orc, that will have a lot of anatomy showing so I have pulled out the Burne Hogarth for reference (which I should have done for Jesus as well). Thanks for the helpful note!

Well I finally finished this piece. It's not as grand or perfect as I'd like but I am still learning so I will log it in as part of the journey (that may never end) and hopefully the next one will be better. Don't get me wrong - I am proud of this work - I just realizethat it can be better.
And silly me - I forgot to take a picture of the final sculpt before I started painting - doh!!

NEXT BEST OPTION: Cycle rickshaws now ferry goods instead of passengers in the city. Photo: D. Gopalakrishnan
HYDERABAD: Clink-clank. The jingling bells made one side step as the three-wheeler weaved its way through the maze of traffic. Be it a `sawari' or material, it was the ideal mode of conveyance. Now the wheel has come full circle. The cycle rickshaw is no longer the preferred means of transport - at least not for the city folks. Time was when this contraption was a familiar sight on the road. But now you will be `dhoondte reh jayoge' and yet not spot one.
No takers now
The once ubiquitous cycle rickshaw is an extinct lot. Occasionally one may chance upon a rickshaw, but there are no takers for it. If the puller seems to lose an inch of self esteem, the rider yards of it. "I wouldn't like to sit in that creaky machine," says Rakesh, student of a public school. Yes, for the generation next the slow paced cycle rickshaw is strictly no no.
Hyderabad, it is said, had the largest number of cycle rickshaws after Calcutta. Tens of thousands of famished souls eked out a living pulling men and material through heat, humidity and rain. In fact there were several places in the Old City where only cycle rickshaws operated. The fare was fixed. No haggling, no quibbling. Just hop in and ride.
"For me a ride through the rickshaw is a great way of enjoying the sights and sounds of the city," recalls an oldie.
Edged out
However, one can't help being moved by the plight of the rickshaw puller. There were many welfare schemes in the past through Setwin to extend succour to the lowly-paid pullers.
But the cycle rickshaws are now gradually edged out. The urbanites have simply no time or patience for the slow moving machines. While many have quickly graduated to the autorickshaw others have turned to odd jobs. "Nobody wants to ride in a cycle rickshaw these days. They find it below their dignity," says Akram who now transports construction material in his rickety machine.

Charleston, S.C. ? Wrapping up their 2010-2011 campaign, The Citadel Wrestling team will travel to Boone, N.C. on Saturday for the Southern Conference Championships at the Holmes Convocation Center.Doors open at 10 a.m. on Saturday with the preliminary rounds beginning at 11 a.m. In the afternoon, semifinals are slated for 1 p.m. with the consolation finals taking place at 5 p.m. The finals begin at 7 p.m. with the awards presentation to follow shortly after.
?We are favored in one weight class,? said head coach Rob Hjerling. ?In order to have a competitive weekend, we need to wrestle above our seeds. I think the schedule really prepared us all year for this. These guys, both individually and collectively, are as ready as I have seen us be prepared in the last few years. Hopefully it will pay off on Saturday in Boone.?
About The Citadel
The Bulldogs (8-12, 3-2) ended their regular season with a 28-9 win over Gardner-Webb in Charleston on Feb. 19. The Citadel has endured one of toughest schedules in school history this season with 20 dual meets scheduled and taking part in nationally-recognized tournaments such as the Southern Scuffle and the All-Academy Championships. The Bulldogs faced a pair of ranked opponents in both the Hershey Duals and the Lone Star Duals this season and faced four ACC opponents, all of which were on the road.
SoCon Championships
Six SoCon squads will battle it out on Saturday in Boone for the title of SoCon Champions. The 10 wrestlers that win individual titles will gain an automatic berth into the NCAA Championships in Philadelphia on March 17-20. Last season, UNC Greensboro dethroned Chattanooga in the SoCon Championships at Davidson. The Citadel finished in second place behind the Spartans, which was their best finish since the 2004-2005 season.
Last Time Out
The Citadel wrapped up the 2010-2011 regular season on Feb. 19 in Charleston with a 28-9 win over Gardner-Webb on Senior Night at McAlister Field House. Seven Bulldogs collected wins in the dual including a fall by Luke Johnson, a tech fall by Turtogtokh Luvsandorj, major decisions by Tyler Sim and Derek Royster and decisions by Richard Alarcon, Justin Sparrow and Kelby Smith. The Cadets never trailed in the dual and closed out seniors Sim and Royster in style with a win.
Turtogtokh Luvsandorj Named SoCon Wrestler of the Year
Sophomore Turtogtokh Luvsandorj was named the Southern Conference Wrestler of the Year this week. Wrestling at 165 pounds, Luvsandorj was tabbed Wrestler of the Year after compiling an overall record of 36-7 and a 5-0 SoCon record. The native of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, has ascended to the top 10 in most major national rankings and boasts an 8-1 mark against other Top 25 opponents.
This season, Luvsandorj became the highest ranked wrestler in Citadel history when he rose to No. 6 in the majority of the national polls. The sophomore sits just three wins shy of the single-season win mark set by Ryan McClester?s 39 wins in the 2003-04 season.
Luvsandorj has already collected SoCon Wrestler of the Month awards in December and January and has twice been tabbed SoCon Wrestler of the Week this season.
Luke Johnson Named to All-SoCon Freshman Team
Freshman Luke Johnson has stepped in and started nearly every dual this season at heavyweight for The Citadel while two-time NCAA qualifier Odie Delaney redshirts in the 2010-11 season. In his place, Johnson picked up eight wins on the season and four falls, including one in his last outing as he pinned Gardner-Webb?s Tyler Arrowood at the 2:38 mark.
Nationally Ranked Bulldogs
Turtogtokh Luvsandorj is now 36-7 on the season and ranked in every major national wrestling poll. He ascended into the top 10 nationally of all five major polls (W.I.N, Amateur Wrestling News, WrestlingReport.com, InterMat, and D1 CollegeWrestling.net) at some during the 2010-2011 season. His career record now sits at 62-19 (.765). The sophomore has gone 8-1 against nationally ranked competition this season and became the highest ranked wrestler in school history when he came in at No. 6 in late January and early February.
Redshirt junior J.C. Oddo has also been in the national rankings during the season before a late season injury slowed down the 174-pounder.
What to Watch
*Turtogtokh Luvsandorj needs just three wins to tie the single-season school record for most victories. Ryan McClester set the record in the 2003-04 season with 39 wins.
*Redshirt seniors Tyler Sim and Derek Royster will be both be shooting to finish their careers in style in search of their first SoCon titles in Boone on Saturday.
Sparrow and Smith Catching Fire
A pair of Bulldogs have caught fire in 2011. At 184 pounds, Justin Sparrow was named SoCon Wrestler of the Week on Feb. 23 as the redshirt junior has gone 12-3 since January 1 with all three losses coming to nationally ranked opponents. Meanwhile, Kelby Smith had an impressive February at 197 pounds. The junior posted a record of 5-1 and was highlighted by a title at the All-Academy Championships on Feb. 6.
Dogs Take Second at All-Academy Championships
In one of their more impressive outings of the season, The Citadel tied their best finish ever at the All-Academy Championships with a second place finish on Feb. 6 at McAlister Field House. The Bulldogs led all teams after the opening round, as they advanced nine wrestlers into the placing round. The Citadel then advanced six wrestlers into the finals with Turtogtokh Luvsandorj (165 pounds) and Kelby Smith (197 pounds) taking home titles. Richard Alarcon (125 pound), Derek Royster (149 pounds), J.C. Oddo (174 pounds) and Justin Sparrow (184 pounds) all finished in second place for the Bulldogs.
A full recap and agate of action will be posted after the championships on Saturday. For more information on Bulldog Wrestling, visit CitadelSports.com.

Twitter Diplomacy, Danny Ayalon-Style
Deputy foreign minister defends Migron, denies Palestinian nationhood
A few days after the Israeli Supreme Court decided—in accordance with past rulings and Israeli law—that Migron must be evacuated and razed by August, several members of Yisrael Beiteinu, which is in the governing coalition and in the last elections was Israel's third-most popular party, visited the West Bank outpost. This report, from a pro-settler outlet, has them speaking carefully about respecting the ruling and emphasizing the importance of finding alternative homes for the residents; Uzi Landau, who is a government minister, appears to hold his tongue more than does David Rotem, who is only a Knesset member.
And then there was Danny Ayalon, a former U.S. ambassador and currently the deputy foreign minister. In an Arutz Sheva video report, he says, "This is not in defiance, at all, to the decision of the court. The decision of the court has to be implemented. But we want to make sure that the implementation will be very sensitive." Ayalon also said he supported the compromise the court voided, which would have kept Migron residents there another three years. "I prefer the term of 'unauthorized,' not 'illegal,' " he added. "Nobody can tell me that it's illegal to settle Jews in their homeland in Judea and Samaria." A statement on his Facebook page read: "Visited the brave residents of Migron today where I told them that the Jewish People have a natural, historic and legal right to live anywhere in the Land of Israel." Note the definition of Israel as Greater Israel.
Still! Freedom of speech! It's one of the things we like about Israel. Not everybody has to agree. The problem is that Ayalon, Israel's number-two diplomat, proceeded to conduct some distinctly undiplomatic Twitter diplomacy. "Interesting that there are so many people who seem to believe that there are parts of the world where Jews should not have right to live," he said over two tweets. "Especially in our historic homeland. Should Judea and Samaria be Judenrein?" In addition to bringing Hitler into this way too quickly, Ayalon's argument obscures what the debate within Israeli society is: not whether Jews should be allowed to live on the other side of the Green Line, but whether they should do so in government-subsidized settlements on land legally owned by other people, and as part of a broader occupation in part responsible for denying statehood to an entire people.
Not that Ayalon would agree with my premises. Take that part about "entire people": "So all peoples with distinct culture & language deserve sovereignty? BTW the Pals do not have either, as distinct from other Arabs," Ayalon argued, an articulation equivalent to Newt Gingrich's notorious "invented Palestinian people" comment.
In fairness, this sure puts a dent in the theory that everything in Israel is geared toward hasbara and getting positive press.
These are not the Migron residents Daniella Cheslow spoke to for her article today in Tablet Magazine, who are at least relative innocents and some of whom may not be totally ideological. These are politicians, plain and simple, who ought to be held completely accountable for denying Palestinian nationhood and reductio ad Hitlerum-ing.
Michael Sfard, the lawyer who represented Peace Now and the Palestinians to whom the land is registered before the Supreme Court, told me last week that the decision was Israel's Brown v. Board in the sense that it is absolutely crucial that the court's decision be implemented: because of that decision's substance, sure, but even more because if the executive ever felt it could ignore the judiciary, then nothing could be taken for granted anymore. As it is—and notwithstanding high-ranking government' officials' lip-service—this is one chicken we shouldn't prematurely count.

Is it normal to remain the same weight but not fit into my regualar clothes?
Hi! I am 11 weeks pregnant and my belly is sticking out. I can only fit into my regular clothes without buttoning the top button. My main concern is that althouth my body is growing in certain areas, my weight gain hasn't. I am still pretty much my normal weight. I am petite...5'1" and about 100 pounds. Like I said, I can't fit into my clothes but the scale is telling me I am my normal weight.

I am in the same boat too. Two pounds less than when i got pregnant. Now I am at 12 weeks, I just started wearing one size bigger and bought a belly band, but haven't used it yet.My weight is shifting for sure, and some days I just feel fat, not pregnant yet.posted 01/02/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
yes, that happened to me...your weight is just shiftingposted 10/14/2009 by gigglemonster100
I am 14 weeks pregnant and bought maternity pants 2 weeks ago. I haven't gained any weight, but my pants were too snug. Buying maternity pants was the best thing that I've done because they are so comfortable. I just hope that I'm able to give them up after the baby comes : )posted 10/14/2009 by NewMomToBe2432
Im 20 weeks pregnant and yet to gain any weight, Ive actually lost 3 lbs even though Ive had no morning sickness and my doctor said that it was normal. I dreaded buying maternity clothes but squeezing into my normal clothes put alot pressure on my bladder and was uncomfortable so I was finally forced to buy maternity pants and they are the MOST comfy thing ive ever wore!!!posted 09/27/2009 by BACravey8228
I am 12 weeks and feel like a cow already. I have only gained 2lbs, but am wearing a size bigger than what I normally wear. The worst part of it is that I have a very short torso, so I can tell my hips have already begun to spread. Now I feel wide and round. my girlfriends tease that its only the beginning. Am I supposed to laugh at this? Just kidding:)posted 01/28/2008 by rosey1223
I was already 5 months along and only gained about 5 lbs. My belly finally popped around that time. I was losing weight other places and gaining it in the belly. I only gained about 15lbs my entire pregnancy (I'm 5'8" and was 160 pre-preggo). My son was born full-term and completly healthy. I'm pregnant again now and hope to stay just as fit this time...posted 01/18/2008 by roxy198503
Im in the same boat. Ive gained about 3 lbs, and Im in my 9th week. Im down to one pair of jeans that fit and one pair of dress pants. I finally broke down and bought a pair of pants one size too big just to be comfortable for the next few weeks before diving into maternity clothes. Im having a hard time with the idea of making that transition before Im showing.posted 01/09/2008 by michaelinad
I am ten weeks...I am 5'9 and a size 4. My body has shifted so much, and I have only gained three pounds. I feel like a cow! None of my clothes fit, and wearing larger sizes suck! I finally bought maternity jeans and I feel better! Old Navy, Target, and Kohl's have some great options.posted 01/03/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 13 weeks along today and have gained around 10 pounds so far, which seems to have leveled off to about a half pound every week. I can live with that amount, but I got worried at first with how fast the weight was coming on. At the Dr.'s office they said everything looked good, so I am not going to worry about it.posted 01/03/2008 by kelseve
Me too! I am 9 weeks today and have not gained weight even with taking in more calories then normal the past 3 weeks. I was unable to fit jeans after 6 weeks and most pants (except stretch material) do not fit. I am 5'2 and most people think I am about 4 months already. I don't feel bloated either and belly is pretty firm. Strange but okay. First one.posted 12/31/2007 by Gretchen38

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Shaping 3D objects with two-dimensional input devices is not easy. In this issue, we investigate how the K-3D project tackles designing a new user interface. Also, Towns triumphs, trouble at Debian, and good news.
The learning curve for Blender, the trend setter for high-performance, free 3D programs, can be steep due to its quirky interface. Buttons take users to most of the innumerable program functions. Controls are grouped by workflow phases, and users first have to click the tiny buttons shown in Figure 2 to choose which groups of controls to display. K-3D uses easily accessible tabs to select tool categories giving the user more intuitive controls. The arrangement and grouping of tools in K-3D is based on the results of user surveys.
